Matthew is a hardworking, diligent attorney who knows the law and has his clients best interest in mind. I hired a large reputable firm and Matthew was my 6th attorney during a 3 year litigation. There were many times I wanted to quit but his tenacity and commitment to my case kept me going. At the end of the day, we won and I got what I was owed. I can’t give him enough praise and if I ever need another attorney his will certainly be my “go to guy.”

I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for helping my family. You can never plan for everything that life is going to throw at you, and my situation was no different. From the first call I made to your office I felt like I was in good hands. Matt and his team took over everything. I no longer had to worry about the unknow. They kept me well informed and answered all my questions. I called and emailed all the time and Matt was always available. I felt like I had family on my side looking out for what was best for my family and I. Matt, Thank you again from all of us!

I came to Mark with a post-employment matter. Mark was empathetic, clear-headed, well-informed, practical, responsive, professional, and affordable. I am writing this review five years later remembering how mad, emotional and abused I felt inside at the time and how sensible, rational and unflappable Mark was. Kudos to you, Mark.

Craig Byrnes is incredible. I found Craig after I sought legal representation after my employer presented me with a difficult situation. He was so responsive, knowledgeable, and clear in his approach to protect my interests. Craig is adept at filtering out ethical or emotional issues from legal issues, and does not waste time on futile matters. He is extremely efficient and does not sugarcoat anything. He is great at client management too, keeping me focused on the task at hand and talking sense into me when needed. Craig was able to reach an amicable resolution with my employer to end the situation gracefully and rationally. I don't know if anyone has referred to their attorney as a knight in shining armor, but he is definitely that. I highly recommend him to anyone - you want him on your side.

I cannot explain the great help Craig was to me in my case. He picked up the dirty work another attorney left behind, In no time he had answers for me, that he explained in great detail until I was on board with understanding the big picture. He is extraordinary and professional. Craig kept me in the loop every step of the way, and unlike other attorneys, he never mentioned time spent on the phone nor email exchanges, he doesn't make it about money. He truly cares about his clients and makes time for them. I am beyond happy with the settlement he obtained, and would highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for an honest, professional, experienced and empathetic attorney. If ever there is need of representation again, I would not think twice to call on Craig, the relationship we built and advised he gave me has helped me lifelong.

Mr. Byrnes served me twice. I first met him when searching for an employment lawyer because I wanted a contract if I was to leave my job to go help prospective employer with their business. I was leaving a highly paid job and wanted both sides to be clear as to what we agreed to. Once the contract was signed and I resigned my other job, my employer refused to pay me what was agreed to in the contract. Mr. Byrnes provided excellent advice throughout the whole mess, was strategic in his approach, and was far more knowledgeable that some of the lawyers the employer hired (employer went through about 3 lawyers before finally settling). Mr. Byrnes got me a big settlement. I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Byrnes. His professionalism is outstanding. He prepared for the case so thoroughly that no matter what opposing lawyers might throw at us, he always responded with facts and law, so they stopped arguing with him. I wouldn't want to have to be on the other side in a case he was involved with. He always told me the truth, explained the law and how judges were ruling on various points, and he listened to my concerns with great sensitivity. Anyone who has an employment law issue can do no better than turning to Craig Byrnes. Ultimately, he stood strong for me and obtained a big settlement for me.

So far so good! I owe a big thank you to Brian here. My manager to make a long story short terminated my brother and suspended me for calling out some serious safety concerns in our work environment and said the reasons for the discipline were unrelated. And its been quite a challenge to find anyone that will at least hear my brother and I out, until I came across Brian. Not only was he willing to hear me out he also provided guidance on how to tread in these tricky waters. It's attorneys like this that give decent hard working people like us the support we need and the motivation necessary to fight back when companies think they can smile in our faces one day then send us packing the next. Whatever our outcome we give Brian and his law firm a huge thanks for looking out for the right people.

Mr. John C. Fowler is a godsend. I was in a work related accident a few years ago and going through some hard times because of it. At the time I didn't not know that I had any rights or that I could get help to get medical attention I needed. Without any help or any direction in my situation I felt so lost and depressed. But all of this changed when I met Mr. Fowler, he explained to me my rights, he got me the help I needed to get back on my feet and with time I was able to go back to work. He worked long and hard to settle our case. I thank Mr. Fowler for helping me and my family during this difficult time in life we went through. If you are going through something similar and are looking for a Professional Attorney, Mr. John C. Fowler is only a phone call away.

I hired Mr. Pappas for my wages and tips case against my former employer. I worked for the company for 10+ yrs. I had no idea that I was being paid incorrectly and unfairly until a coworker read a similar case in an article. I researched and called Mr. Pappas for legal advice. He was friendly, polite, and heard my case start to finish. He told me indeed I was being underpaid and that I'm owed all lost wages+tips going back up to 6 years (NY state law). At the end I was able to recover my wages, tips, plus another $10,000 in fines. I was surprised how much I was able to receive even after I left my job...one thing that stood out was he always answered my emails and calls (which was a HUGE deal as I've dealt with lawyers in the past who never answer their phones!) I highly recommend Mr. Pappas, 5 stars all the way

Mrs. Carrie Coppinger Carter, in my opinion is the one of the best lawyers in the Northwest especially because she is hard working, super communicative (so you don’t have to worry about updates on you’re case). She is currently handling 2 of my cases and so far I’ve seen a lot of progress and I already know that I will get the settlement that I deserve if I have her as my lawyer!

She comes I'm a family that sticks together and I don't mean to make this racial but you don't see white families stick together like this normally everyday like they do I don't know if you know how Hispanic people and other races help out the elderly and stick by their family but you don't see too many white families caucasians doing but this family does she is extremely versed an extremely connected all the way to the top she does not use her connections to win the fight on the contrary when they see her coming they know that they have a battle before them I'm about to give up even before the the shooting starts I've always I've always wanted her on my team but I can't say that I could afford her he's not cheap on any aspect nor should anybody be with a talent and the expertise that she has you have to pay to play so to speak I would do anything that I possibly could for this person in which she is actually stuck out her neck far beyond anybody that I've ever known and of course she is the only Christian woman that holds the line matter of fact to a T you cannot make this woman false her when it comes to Jesus and who other that you want on your side I'm not saying that you need to be a Christian to actually hire her but I'm not going to say that she's not going to mention her savior if you come through her doors without him it doesn't really matter anyway you might as well throw in the towel but don't quite give up yet she'll see your last breath and she'll put out her hand pull you back up dust you off and push you across the the finish line in which you may never think that you would have made it and without her more than likely you wouldn't give her a call let her check out your case I promise you there isn't a better attorney in town none zero mark my word Godspeed

SaraEllen Hutchinson is an excellent lawyer in consumer protection. I was trying to handle a problem myself with one of the credit reporting agencies. It was going on for 7 months, and not only was I getting nowhere, it was actually getting worse. I was scared, angry, and completely locked out of my credit report, while ID thieves were in. I called SaraEllen's office on a Friday at 5:00 pm. She emailed me the same evening, and by Monday morning she was handling my case. She has a strong working relationship with other lawyers, and within 2 months she had everything corrected. She represented me and handled everything with professionalism, and her knowledge of the credit protection laws. I am so happy with the outcome, and if I ever need need help in this area of law again, I won't hesitate hiring her!

My attorney SaraEllen, has given me the opportunity to have a fresh start in building a career for myself. SaraEllen has helped me get through a very emotional and terrifying experience with debt collection at the age of 20. She has been motivated and strong willed through out my whole case and also helping me dispute other problems that I wasn't even sure was possible without having to just bite the bullet and take it as it came at me. She was very knowledgable and taught me how to stand up for myself in situations that I knew nothing about. SaraEllen is a person who I would definitely recommend to anyone who is in need of help with any circumstances similar to mine. Thank you so much, SaraEllen you are the absolute BEST!

He stayed in contact with me for every step that was being taken & when some time has gone by, just to touch base & I wasn't forgotten about.

I went online looking for help and I was lucky enough to find Jennifer Spencer, Ron Woessner and James Hunnicutt. This was the first time I needed a lawyer and I had no idea what to expect. They listened to my grievances, along with every emotion I had buried inside for the past year. Then they told me what my options were and what to expect next. Ron and James were diligent and professional in every aspect of my case. They were there every step of the way with encouraging words and wisdom. With their kindness and guidance, I was able to close a very difficult chapter in my life and know I did the best I could, then and now.

He was genuinely compassionate to what I was going through and did everything he could to shield me from further emotional harm after what I went through with my former employer. Not only is Christian an amazing lawyer, but he is also a good, genuine and honest person. He goes above and beyond and truly cares about his clients.

Matt quickly and efficiently advised me in a time-sensitive manner on a non-compete and its interplay with a severance agreement as I was about to transition to a new company. He explained the different parts and how they affected my options going forward, and offered several paths that I could pursue. I was senior enough in the company to have restrictions on where I could go as there were questions about how the two companies competed in the same general segment. His letters were organized and easy to understand, handled the facts of the matter, advised on New York law, and most importantly were very practical in how to engage both employers. I was referred to Matt by a family member and would recommend anyone in the NY area needing advice on a non-compete or severance agreement to check with him.

I had reached out to Jean to discuss/review a separation agreement that I received from my employer.

Based upon that first conversation, it was clear that she had good intentions (it wasn't all about how much she would make from the settlement) - her desire was to help me achieve an appropriate outcome. She came across as experienced, measured and fair. I ultimately had her step in to help with the negotiation and was happy with the overall result.

When a person is wrongly terminated it takes away more than your job. You loose the essence of who you are, your confidence, your trust in people, how you interact with the outside world. You feel ashamed. But, Jean was able to change all that for me and my termination turned out to be a blessing. Jean gave me hope from the very first conversation. She and Katherine won my case and the money was great but what they really did was continually make me know that the termination wasn’t my fault. They believed in me. I lived across the country from Jean but it felt as though she was right next door. She was in contact when necessary and was always available when I needed to ask something. She allowed me to make decisions on my case and always gave me options and suggestions. Her guidance and in sight was right on target, I trusted her and she was very successful for me.

Mr. Reyes is an outstanding attorney. Last year my mom was involved in a car accident which caused her to be hospitalized for 5 days. Unfortunately, our insurance decided to blame my mom for the accident before getting the police report. After 15 years of having this major insurance carrier, we didn't feel as we were in "safe hands". It was a nightmare. Thankfully, we contacted Mr. Reyes and he started his own investigation. He was very persistent and researched everything about the accident to better understand the situation. Somehow, Mr. Reyes got a hold of a couple of witnesses that confirmed that it was the other individual's fault. A couple of weeks later, the police report corroborated that it was the other driver's fault. Mr. Reyes' dedication paid off. After eight months, we closed the case and the other driver's insurance has agreed to pay the maximum allowed for this case. If you want someone that is honest, hardworking and strategic, contract Mr. Jual F Reyes, you won't regret it. Mario M.

I recently met with Mr. Hannah to discuss my EEOC discrimination case, against a governmental agency. I explained to Mr. Hannah that we needed to file the case within 90 days, but he explained to me that if he doesn’t meet the deadline we have a 4 year statue of limitation to file. Mr, Hannah was very knowledgeable, professional, organized, and gave me his undivided attention. After our consultation, I hired Mr. Hannah to represent me. Mr. Hannah explained the process and kept me abreast throughout the case. Approximately two weeks later, Mr. Hannah sent me an email informing me of the steps and that he needed to speak to me for clarification before he generate the complaint. Mr. Hannah stated he would generate the complaint and send it to me for his review. After our second meeting, Mr. Hannah said that he reviewed most of my case file and had a few questions. I answered his questions and he stated he would work in my civil complaint and email me a draft to review. During that conversation, I asked Mr. Hannah could he make sure that we meet the deadline. Mr. Hannah also ordered my case file from the EEOC and said he’ll work on my complaint. Three days before the deadline, Mr, Hannah sent me an email stating that he needed to ask more questions about my case before he generate my civil complaint. Mr. Hannah explained that he will not be able to meet my deadline on September 5th, 2021. Mr. Hannah explained that he will be going out of town on vacation and won’t be back until September 17,2021. Mr. Hannah and I spoke, I believe on September 2, 2021 regarding my case. Mr. Hannah stated that after careful review of my case, he believe that I needed a civil rights attorney and workers Comp attorney and he didn’t feel comfortable moving forward on my case. He offered to assist me with finding an attorney. Initially, I declined because I was going back to California, but I decided to stay in Florida, I sent Mr. Hannah an email requesting his assistance in finding an attorney. Although I was disappointed that he didn’t represent me, I appreciate the effort made in assisting me. Mr. Hannah refunded my retainer fees, and files. He also sent a nice letter breaking down his cost, statue of limitations date, and explaining what type of lawyer that I needed. I really wished that Mr. Hannah would have pursued my case and hired a Civil rights attorney to assist him. He has proven himself to be trust worthy and that’s my biggest fear I hiring the right attorney. I have confident that he would have prevailed i my case, but I certainly respect his decision. Although it didn’t work out, I would still recommend his services. Again, thank you

Susan Sachs is not only a knowledgeable, versatile lawyer with years of experience, but she is a compassionate, empathetic person who is ruled by an innate sense of right and wrong. Susan was the first lawyer we saw when my daughter made it clear that she didn't want or need a lawyer. It was Susan's personalized care that soothed her emotions and let logic rule. She facilitated the legal steps my daughter needed to take and guided her in her endeavors to find a good divorce attorney. We are forever grateful for her extra-special caring mixed with legal expertise that enabled my daughter to face existing problems and prepare for the future.

I have used Susan Sachs as my 501(c)(3) lawyer for three years and I highly recommend her. I have also referred my friends who needed a personal injury lawyer and saw good results. Susan always returns my calls promptly and if she does not know an answer right then, she has found the answer and gotten back to me within a day. I have only positive things to say about Susan's skills as a lawyer.

I was amazed how prepared and thorough Subha was during my consultation. Other attorneys I consulted with would read my file 5 minutes before and would not have a clue . She knew the in and outs of my case after reviewing my file and you can tell she took the time . This is an excellent top notch attorney who actually cares and would highly recommend her and the firm . You will not go wrong and will have someone extremely knowledgeable about the EEO process . Prestigious attorney and firm.

I was looking for a specific type of lawyer who was familiar with Federal Government and the complaint process and Attorney Patricia Randle was highly recommended by an associate. She has been representing me since 2017. I have been very satisfied with her services as well as all of her expertise relating to my case. Had it not been for her background and familiarity with government , I would not have reached this level in my case. Not only does she give me sound advice, but she goes beyond the services that I have paid for by providing additional help with this case. We have many extensive phone calls pertaining to the case and when I hang up, I always feel confident that I have chosen the right representative for my case.

Randle & Randle are exceptional! I hired Randle & Randle to represent me in an EEO case because of their vast expertise and years of experience supporting government employees and their reputation for fighting to get the best outcome for their clients. I was very glad I did. I was treated with first class service by Mr. and Mrs. Randle and their staff. Mrs. Randle, as my lead attorney, provided me with sound legal counsel that included full and clear explanations on the application of EEO law and my case options. She was very sympathetic and understood my personal struggle fighting harassment. Being on the point for my case, she was a fierce and professional negotiator with the agency lawyers and she demonstrated a greater level of skill compared to her counterparts. I found the value of their services I received compared to the fees I paid to be a tremendous value especially when she achieved a timely and better outcome of my case than it looked like to me when I hired them. I sure hope I will never experience harassment again, but if I do I will certainly turn to Randle & Randle again! Thank you always

I hired Lauren as my attorney because I knew she was the best! A truly positive experience Lauren offers the finest in professional legal services in the greater Los Angeles area, there is certainly more to the Law Offices of Lauren Abrams than any review can describe. In one word, opulence comes to mind when describing the level of service offered by Lauren and her team. From intake, communication, negotiation and settlement, there was not one moment I felt Lauren and her team didn't have my best interest at heart. I can imagine no attorney enters law school expecting to provide a level of due care provided by Lauren and her team. From my first phone calls with various staff, and my in-person consultation with Lauren, I never felt like a client. I always felt like a member of the team. Yes, this is the type of team that will have you considering changing careers. While we may not all be cut out to be attorneys, it is comforting to know you have the best ones backing you every step of the way.

I sought guidance on how to proceed on my own behalf. Ms. Reynolds understood how much time would be needed to advise me and sent a list of documents I needed to provide in advance of our 1.5 hour consultation. She was on-time, thoroughly prepared and knowledgeable on every aspect of the situation. She asked clear, precise questions to be sure I communicated everything necessary for her to formulate her advice, which was specific and explained in detail.

Eric is an excellent attorney, especially good at negotiations and getting matters settled to the satisfaction of the client. What I especially liked about Eric is that he listens and has a conversation with you. He respects your needs and wishes and gets it done. He is an excellent writer, he drafts agreements well, good reviewer and he's thoughtful. What this all means is that he is someone you can trust and get you through your case successfully. Eric is a terrific attorney and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney or legal counsel. I had a very positive experience with Eric who did not give up and got me through a very challenging matter with great success as far as I am concerned. I am extremely grateful I found him. He just gets what you want. He extracts you cleaning from matters and ensures that the other side understands exactly what they have done and what they are facing. I was very lucky to find Eric and I stand by my review because he absolutely helped me get restitution and finality. Thank you.

I highly recommend attorney, Eric Gruber of the Gruber Law Group. I was rear-ended while driving on the 101 freeway in Marin County, California. I sustained neck and back injuries and was not being properly compensated for my medical bills by the at-fault party's insurance company. I knew I was being treated very poorly by the insurance company, but I did not know who to turn to. Two other attorneys turned me away because my case was not big enough. Eric was then recommended to me by a lawyer friend. I hired Eric and he assisted me quickly and got me the additional monetary compensation that was appropriate. My experience with Eric was extremely positive because he was personable, easy to talk to and he always returned my calls in a timely fashion. He explained a range of options and strategies for me to consider, gave me his opinion and left the decision to me. I highly recommend Eric because he is intelligent, ethical, conscientious and caring. I would not hesitate to hire Eric Gruber and the Gruber Law Group for other legal needs in the future.

He listened intently to the facts surrounding my dismissal, asked questions that I didn’t even know were relevant at the time, and quickly built a case that resulted in a very satisfactory outcome..

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
