Mr Kloth helped out my in-laws with a lawsuit that was filed against them by the people they sold their house to. There was a water issue that popped up due to a lack of maintenance by the new owner of the property. My in-laws were being sued for $200,000. Mr Kloth was able to get them the information they needed to mount a successful defense. He laid out the costs of moving to a jury trial vs a settlement. After deciding to settle, he helped negotiate a settlement that was very favorable to my in-laws. We would strongly recommend Mr Kloth.

I trusted Michael Kornbluth with my future, career and livelihood. I met with several other attorneys before Michael and knew they could never handle my case. The day I walked into his office I trusted my husband, myself and no one else. I was a victim of harassment for many years and my harasser was enabled and protected by the highest figures at the company where we both worked. When I walked out of Michael’s office I knew I had found an attorney who was not afraid to take on a very powerful man and organization. Michael did not promise me an endless bank account at the end of this fight, he promised me my abuser and his colleagues would be held accountable for their actions and that my family and I would get our lives back. Michael delivered. He also fought for and incredible settlement. He would have gone to trial with me and I would have humiliated many executives in my home town. I had been humiliated for years so I was not afraid of a trial. Michael educated me to the advantages and disadvantages to trial vs mediation. He helped me decide that years of trials and appeals would not put my life back together. I sat in a room at mediation with the highest officials of the organization we both worked and had my day. They were ashamed. I don’t think they were ashamed of their actions, just that they had been caught and were being held accountable. Michael Kornbluth is a great attorney and more important an incredible person. When I pass my abuser and his colleagues in public I hold my head high and they look anywhere but at me. Michael gave my pride and self-confidence back.

I used Mr. Kornbluth twice and both times we had successful outcomes. He is very knowledgeable and will fight for your cause. I have recommended him to a former colleague who thought he may be terminated from work. Mr Kornbluth was also able to work within my budget, as I had limited funds. I was very grateful for that.

Brenda helped me with my unemployment cases. UI refused to Pay some claims and just royally messed up other claims for no rational reason. I have hired many attorneys for a variety of reasons and most are not worth their weigh in dirt. Brenda is NOT one of those, Brenda helped me with many administrative hearing. She was always professional and prompt. She knows the system and the ALJ's well. One hearing got lost. She fixed it. She helped speed up the process and cut the red tape. Out of 12 hearings we won all 12 hearings easy. The UI system in 2021 - 2022 is one Messed up arbitrary system of over worked amateurs. With Brenda's help I got all the money I was due. Late but I got it and I would never of survived the COVID years without those funds. I would of been homeless. Brenda told me what I needed to know and how to present myself in the hearings. (Keep quiet, listen carefully and make your answers short and to the point.) Great advice. Brenda is a problem solver, without compromise and does not miss a beat. She thought of many things and strategies I would of missed. Though we never met in person, I owe Brenda a drink and A hug. Going to miss you. James

I am honored to be able to provide a review of Attorney Mark Anderson. I work for the WA State Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Mark was our assigned counsel. The issue fell square within employment law, and I found Mark to be incredibly knowledgeable, flexible and adaptable, and he also behaved with high integrity and professionalism. I have 35 years working in government HR, and Mark was the best attorney I've worked with: assertive, yet reasonable.

My case was simple, just a "disorderly conduct" charge, but to me it was a complex mess to mire through and Mark made it smooth sailing. Would I retain again? Without question.

My case was a wrongful termination. I had a medical condition which required surgery. Two weeks after surgery my employer terminated me, even though the previous month my annual review was all positive and indicated everything was fine. To add additional injury I was over 60 years old yet not old enough to retire. Like most everyone in the year long process for justice, I was under enormous emotional stress. Kaarin did not get wraped up in my emotions but stayed focused on the case. It was clear Kaarin and Halunen knew the aplicable laws, it was assuring to watch Kaarin in depositions asking the right questions to get to the underlying issues in order to prove my case. Kaarin showed her expreience and skills in the mediation process with the defendant and mediator. The case has come to a favrable end for me and much of the stress I've had has been relieved by obtaining justice. I appreciate Kaarin's skills and expreience and her unrelenting pursuit of of justice.

I worked with Mic (Michael) after I opened a business that competed with my former employer. I had been sewed for allegedly violating a covenant not to compete with my prior company. We knew that for various reasons the non-compete was invalid, and Mic fought hard to protect my ability to earn an income in the only business I had known for the past decade. Mic took me on as a client even though I was making almost no money, and at the time it was unclear how I could possibly afford an attorney. In the end he was successful in protecting the business I had built, and we were able to obtain a favorable outcome for myself personally.

If you are looking for the Best Dam Layer look no further than Christina T Novajosky @ O'Malley & Langan Law offices My name is Joseph M. Percoco and this is not another B.S. Review story. As a long term driver and valued employee of Fed Ex freight making over six figures a year who never once took a vacation in over 10 years and has earned yearly safety awards as a safe driver with zero accidents where I would have to drive 648 miles each day awoke one morning not able to return to work and was denied unemployment by my employer and was also denied workers compensation. I can not go into detail as this is an ongoing case but I must tell you that I was turned down by other prominent law firms and was told that this case would be to hard to win and they were not interested because the amount of man hours that would have to be put in would be grater than the end result. My case was rejected by Lenahan & Dempsey , Merwinw Hanyon & Kaspszyk and a handful of others that you see on T.V. When I met with Christina she told me that the case was in fact very complicated but she was up to the challenge because for her Righteousness is more Important than Money & Trust and honor will always be placed above the Dollar. Christina beat Fed Ex's hired gun every single time in court winning me unemployment, workers compensation and Social Security disability. At one point I actually felt bad for Fed Ex's attorney as he was getting frustrated and chewed out by the judge. Christina is not only one of the best attorneys she truly cares about her clients, Christina would call me at home on her days off to see how I was feeling and if my wife and I needed anything. She was always there to return my phone call or email. If not for Christina Novajosky at O'Mally & Langan we would have lost our home that we worked so hard for.

I have read all the other reviews and I wish I could give 10 stars. I was with a larger law firm after a very difficult time in my life, and it was all about the money and the fact that they couldn’t make enough so they couldn’t take my case. It was like that saying when God closes a door somewhere he opens a window. It was then I found this incredible law firm and my attorney was Tiffanie Benfer. She walked me through everything. She called me. It was incredibly shocking because attorneys don’t call people. They have other people call you. The whole we will have our people call your people. I could ask a question in an email or text on the weekend and get a call back ON THE WEEKEND! Tiffanie was with her family but took the time to answer my question because I was concerned and scared. She would actually apologize if it took her a few days because she had been in court or have her staff call me to say she’s in court and then she would call me that night after a long day my Attorney would call me on her family time. She didn’t push me to accept settlements or decisions she knew were wrong just to get my case over with. The staff was incredible. It’s like dealing with people who really care about you.. Thank you.

I had the great luck to have Tiffanie undertake my case. I could not have asked for a more tenacious, hard-working attorney. Tiffanie is a terrific person, had only my best interests in mind, and was always very patient in explaining everything in a clear, concise way. The amount of effort that she will spend on your behalf is amazing. Tiffanie, her fellow attorneys at Hardwick Benfer, and all of their great support staff are not only very professional in everything they do, but they are also very approachable and easy to work with. If you're looking for a fighter for your cause, you won't find anyone better than Tiffanie. Believe me, you won't regret hiring Tiffanie and her firm to represent you.

Eric provided our small non-profit board excellent legal services and advice which enabled us to overcome some difficult situations. Eric was trustworthy, honest, competent, caring and always kept in mind our best interests.

I had an issue with a tenant and an insurance company for my rental property. Mr. Wood reviewed my insurance policy and suggested several changes that gave me piece of mind. Without knowing the exact coverage I needed I could have been in a situation that could have cost me thousands of dollars. He also drafted a new lease specifically tailored to my property and my requests. I would highly recommed Mr. Wood's services to anyone looking to for an experienced attorney who knows the law.

Melder Law is perfect for small businesses and entrepreneurs! I've used the services of Melder Law for my start up company. Rather than worrying about "the clock ticking;" you pay for a subscription (if you're buying a Starbucks every day you can afford this). For a set price you get unlimited access to legal advice... Perfect if you are on a budget and can't afford to blow the bank on legal advice. And as I have learned the hard way in the past... The earlier you get advice, the better - well worth the nominal cost!

I was a student at one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the US, and undoubtedly, the world. I had been away on a medical leave of absence for a year after my first year and the school was giving me a difficult time getting back in. I contacted several lawyers, consulted with quite a few, all to have each and every one of them say there was nothing that could be done to get this institution to allow me to continue at that point in time. I had to do what the school asked. In the mix of lawyers contacted was Mr. Ricotta's firm. One morning, soon after I had left that message on their answering machine (I had left the message on a holiday), Mr. Ricotta called me back. Both Mr. Ricotta and Mr. Marks treated me with respect, and as a human being, not just as a client. They talked me through the whole process, gave me good advice and got the job done! It was smooth sailing for me, and I am sure that this was all because they worked hard for me. To go head-to-head with this school is no mean task. They have some of the best lawyers money can buy, but this firm came through and worked without the least hint of apprehension when all others turned me down. Today, almost a year from when this all happened, I can proudly say I am a graduate of this prestigious institution, all thanks to Mr. Ricotta and Mr. Marks!

To be perfectly clear I do not think that there is a smarter more effective litigator in the country. He has not represented me and won in federal court litigations, but also large scale arbs, and achieved results in both, as well as mediations, that well exceeded my wildest expectations. In a world drowning with lawyers, Richard truly sets himself apart not just by his superior work but the fact that he genuinely cares about his clients as people. He has fought for me with all of his heart ( literally ) and for the past 16 years I have chosen only Richard as my go to, trusted attorney. I have also referred him a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BUSINESS and they are equally as satisfied.

I was suddenly terminated from my position and needed a knowledgeable employment attorney quickly to review my severance agreement. Jill fit me into her busy schedule. She was very methodical and detailed in her review, educating me along the way. No one ever wants to contact an employment attorney, but if you have to, Jill Weinberg is a true professional that gathers all the facts and breaks down how I needed to address my employment issue. The result was favorable. Thank you, Jill, I truly appreciate what you did for me.

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.

    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.

    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.
