Receptionist was rude and didn’t really offer any help outside of what you can find on google. Phone call took a total of 3 minutes if not less and it felt like I was taking her time. Cut me off a couple times while speaking.

Ms. Hadjian was a delight to work with. We were under an important time constraint, we were from out of state and Ms. Hadjian was very professional and solved a very difficult Guardianship problem for us. Anyone that works with Ms. Hadjian will be very pleased to have her handling your case.

We got to work with Reid Elkus and had an overwhelming positive experience. He is great at explaining law in simple terms, always followed up with us quickly and pricing was fair.

My case/need for representation was rather unsual, and I am very grateful that Reid Elkus took me on as a client. He and Amy Morris were both kind, knoweldgable and willing to answer any questions I had concerning very stressful and long proceedings. As the case progressed, Reid checked in with me concerning next steps, making sure I understood the legal end of things and what might unfold with each decision that was made through the court system. By the end of this 2+ year process, Reid had assisted me in not only getting the court (and court of appeals) to dismiss erroneous claims, but also made sure I understood my legal rights, and how to protect myself in the future. I am so very thankful that Denver Classroom Teachers Association had Elkus and Sisson listed as a trusted firm with a special consideration for educators.

I called Attorney Alex about a deed issue on a house we were thinking of buying. I told him that I wasn't sure we were going to pursue the issue, wanted a consultation with him, and that I was concerned about getting a large surprise bill. Alex assured me that if hired, he would keep me updated on all charges as they accrued, yet he never explicitly told me when he started charging me and never gave me any of those updates he said he would. We had 2 phone calls and a few brief emails. He did take time to review our case after my first consulation call, but never told me that I was being charged. In the end, I told him that we would not need his services and suddenly got a $625 bill. When I complained, he told that their firm does NOT offer a free consultation and yet he chose not to charge me for the first phone call, but that was within his right to charge for everything after that. Be sure to ask each and every time you email or speak to someone in their office as to whether or not you are being charged. This attorney lacked transparency and did not keep his word about informing me of charges as we interacted. I expected him to clearly say to me when charges would be start and like he reassured me he would, give me updates on the total of any bill as we interacted.

Our experience with Roland Brown was similar to a few other reviews of some bad experiences had by hiring Roland Brown. They were all beyond accurate in their statements. Mr. Brown talks a great game about what he can do for you, but does not deliver on his promises or his word. Roland Brown was paid in full (5 figures), which was definitely a waste of money, might as well have flushed the money down the toilet. And trying to make contact with him or have him to make contact with the family or his client, was totally USELESS! The couple of times that he did visit our family member, I believe he was there to see someone else and decided to grace our family member with his presence, which was only to tell him that he did not have his laptop and would come back to discuss his case, of course he never returned. The only time that our family member saw Roland Brown was in court and there were several postponements due to Roland Brown not being available, like going to Las Vegas with no prior notice that he would not be present in court, so of course, there was another postponement. Roland Brown was given evidence for the trial which actually sat in his briefcase for days before he had to be reminded that he had it. What good attorney forgets that he was given evidence! He then tried to look at the evidence which turned out to be garbage and could not be reviewed by his office. The evidence had to be requested again and that took months, another postponement! More time wasted! And trying to make contact with Roland Brown was so frustrating, we would leave messages and send emails and the response from his office would be that "the information would be forwarded to Roland Brown" and the family and his client, our family member would hear nothing from him. Roland Brown would also set up appointments to discuss the case with the family and would be a no show, with a call while we are at his office waiting for him, that something came up and he could not make it! This happened on several occasions! Roland Brown has not only missed multiple appointments with the family, he has missed multiple appointments with his client, our family member. Additionally, Roland Brown was made aware of another suspect in my family members case and he just sat on the information and never brought it up in court. This information could have helped our family member with his case! Roland Brown has clients that he works much much harder for. I say this to say that if you want an attorney that will work hard for your family member and honor the oath that he took, DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!! If you are NOT one of his special clients, prepare to go to jail.

Was inexperienced with my case, took my money and didn’t hear from him again until the day of court, only to find out he was requesting a postponement due to his license being suspended. When he did come to court the next scheduled time, he threw together his argument 15 mins before the court time. Ineffective communication, you have to chase him down to get a response and he half way explains what’s going on. Please, don’t make the mistake I made. Hire someone else

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Jack . He was consistently unavailable and seemed more interested in concluding the case with our landlord and getting paid than addressing our needs. Near the end of our case, he pressured us into "giving in" rather than fighting for our rights. We later found out this was just to expedite the process. After following his recommendation, the landlord forced us out, despite assurances that this was not possible. Since then, Jack has not returned any emails or calls. He is not reliable and I would not recommend his services to anyone.

Ware has now represented/advised me on 4 different legal matters, and two of them were not a formal engagement, but just reflective of his hidden compassion, whereas he never asked for a penny for his attentive help to educate my engaged attorney’s that only focused on billing! Ware has responded to messages during the early hours to quell my fears! Or his generosity of his off hours, by taking time on a Sunday, or while vacationing in the keys with limited cell service to address my concerns, that no attorney of his caliber would ever do, especially after 40+ years of private practice! He will try to and states that he keeps the emotions out of his process, and that he cant take an emotional stake in my cases, and he adamantly sticks to the rule of law, but his generosity of his time and help in cases that he has no financial interest in suggests otherwise. I have unfortunately had to engage 8 lawyers over the last 6 years, and his professionalism and his understated genuine hidden nature to protect and nurture his clients is a quality that reveals itself over the years. He genuinely cares to the accuracy and legal adherence to the rule of law and is beyond generous with his time! His assistant “Brittne” is so sweet, compassionate and reflects Wares’s core values.. in my opinion” integrity, honesty, caring compassionate advocate of my rights” I have not been 100% successful in all the matters that was represented for me. But if you want to have an attorney that is so brilliant and detailed and attentive, then Mr Cornell is the only lawyer you should consider. His is unlike any attorney I have ever engaged and if you want representation by the “shark” whereas all other attorneys swim in his pond!

We met regarding a labor case involving my employer and an ongoing Disablity discrimination and retaliatory harassment case. Even though we have not formally filed any charges because of special reasons, he already knows what he has to do to reduce expenses and get the end result we would like to see. He has measured the cons against the pros and gave his opinion based on what he knows about my employer and the type of courts we have here in Florida. My impression is that He is very knowledgeable and a matter of fact which I value in a lawyer. I appreciated his honesty even if it was not information I wants to hear. He offered his expertise opinion on how to deal with the case which was a wait and see after I am fired. Even though I’m not happy with having to continue to be harassed and the hostile working conditions I am being subjected to, I know that he will be the best to represent me because he has a plan in place. Immediately after my consultation, I provided over 700 pages of my evidence to him and with a small consultant fee he reviewed it over several weeks. He then scheduled me a few weeks later to discuss the plan and the pros and cons of my case. He did not charge a second consult fee and advised me of the approximate amount it would cost me to hire him for arbitration. He already knows the direction my case will have and what he needs to do. Based on this I feel he is competent and trustworthy. I am confident that he will deliver when the time comes. If you want to consult with an expert labor attorney please do not hesitate to meet with him and get the opinion of a true specialty attorney.

I met with Ware when he was recommended by a friend. I liked him right away, and I hired him. It was my first time hiring an attorney, and I should have asked him more questions to understand his work style. But I liked him and trusted my friend's recommendation. I would have been happier working with an organized, strategic planner. If I had received a phone call or email every couple of months with an update on my case, that would have been better. Had Ware spelled out the specifics of my financial obligations to him up front instead of sending me seemingly random and sporadic invoices, I would have trusted him more. But what really bothered me is that Ware took away ownership of my case. I told him I wanted to be at all the depositions for my case, but instead he held them without my knowledge. He did not consult with me to learn details that these depositions could have brought to light. I never heard from him after depositions with a summary of what took place. As I see it, this was my case, and Ware was there to help me, but he seemed to think I had little role in it. In the end, the real value of my case was over 200K less than his original estimate. When did he break this news to me? On the morning before the final mediation. It's been two years since my case concluded, and I waited to write this review because I wanted to see if time would soften my perspective. In the past two years, I've gotten to know dozens of attorneys through my current job, and have a clearer picture of attorneys can potentially operate. They can be organized. They can be transparent communicators. They can keep their clients in the loop. But Ware doesn't.

A paralegal (S. M.) working w. Mr. Winfrey asked me to send her my numerous documents & recordings to review for an employment issue - she strung me along for 4 months before sending me a letter 4 days before my first meeting w. the EEOC & Defendant that they were not taking my case. This may constitute malpractice & is the worst responsive I have ever received. Reputable attorneys respond within 1-2 days or a week whether they will take a case. In the declination letter (copied Mr. Winfrey) the paralegal made a bold untrue statement: "after a thorough review of your case...." They did not conduct any, let alone a thorough review that they purported to have condcuted - I verified this because I sent my docs. via Dropbox which sends a notice when my files have been accessed. Shame on you for costing me nearly $100,000 in severance and leaving me in a lurch w. no time to search find a lawyer. I will seek the lost funds from Morgan & Morgan. This has caused great distress and financial hardship to me at a time when I cannot recover. I also left voicemails for Mr. Winfrey and he never returned any of them, also, poor practice. For the largest purported firm (M&M), do they not have other paralegals to respond.

My review and stars only refer to Raykin, Yelena. This lawyer is unprofessional and always in a rush. She is not available to do any closings after 2 pm because she said she will get stuck in traffic on her way home. People from the bank agreed to come at 3 pm and she rudely denied my request. She sent a very rude email telling me that if I am late for the closing she will charge a few hundred dollars extra. The closing only took 30 minutes! Stay away from her, she is NOT flexible and willing to work with her clients! Nasty person... I don't even know why we need a lawyer because she was completely useless.

I hired Ayesa and we agreed on a flat fee contested divorce to take me to trial. After approximately 6 months of representation and after taking all of my money, she withdraws. I paid her $8000 in full to take me to trial as per the retainer agreement and she withdraws as she got hammered by opposing counsel. I begged and pleaded with her not to withdraw but she didn't care because she already got paid. Why continue to represent someone when you've already got all their money? Also be aware of her partner, they back each other up no matter how wrong the other one is.

I can not adequately put into words how amazing Doug Kane is as a lawyer. I was dealing with a very difficult employer and Doug was able to navigate the inane and idiotic attempts by my former employer at dismissing my case. Doug was phenomenal at informing me of each step of the process, and offering me multiple options as to how we could proceed. Doug explained each piece of documentation, as well as all correspondence with the other parties attorney and the courts. He was almost always available to talk about the case, and if he was not he always scheduled a time to discuss the case. I am deeply appreciative for his kindness and his expertise.

This attorney does not have the capacity to involve himself in significant casework of important matters that matter dearest to a client. Myself and another client of his were let down in the highest degree possible that any other established practicing attorney would laugh and shake their head at all the misdeeds he did. If you need will documents signed or small matters such as property disputes or tenant disputes, he might come through for you. You get what you pay for. If you want professionalism, please look somewhere else and save yourself the misery and stress this attorney out me through. It was by a pure miracle and luck i did not lose my case after I fired this incompetent attorney. After me and the other client filed complaints with the Oregon State Bar there was an investigation and determined he is unfit mentally to be an attorney. He was out on babysitting duty and any case he took was monitored by a supervising attorney. DO NOT HIRE ZACH SPIER. Awful work.

Mr. Pitts-Wiley accepted my case despite the fact that he only had two weeks to prepare and go before AJ. I thought my case was a sure win, because of the facts and evidence presented during EEO investigation. So I didn't think I needed a lawyer. Due to experience and expertise in Federal law, more specifically whistleblower retaliation and wrongful termination, Mr. Pitts-Wiley advised against an EEO appeal. He has genuine concern and care for me as his client. He has been my voice of reason and logic and prevented me from making decisions and choices based on my emotional state that would have resulted in a significant amount of additional unnecessary lawyer fees. I was mad at first because I wanted what I wanted. He was quite clear and a matter of fact that what I WANTED was not in my best interests at that time.... It validates my rating of excellent because he was doing what was in my best interest emotionally as well as financially. He could have filed an initial appeal and padded his pockets based on my emotional state. But he went above and beyond to fully explain why an appeal would not be advantageous at THAT TIME. While waiting for my Agency to make a decision on my proposed removal Mr. Pitts-Wiley would check in to see how I was doing. This speaks volumes and further validates my 5 star rating. Two years later.... Mr. Pitts-Wiley's knowledge, professionalism, experience and dedication is beyond reproach. I've never felt so confident about my case than I do Now... two years later. It is more than evident that he was a God send and that having him and his team represent was the best decision ever. He has been extremely transparent regarding the possible outcomes, however just based on his actions in what I would consider minute details is proving to monumental in my case. His level of transparency, professionalism, dedication and compassion, makes me want to go back to school so I can help others as he and his team has guided me through this process! I'm excited for the outcome.

I was referred to Larry Stein, Esquire, by an attorney who had been his boss. Mr. Stein greatly exceeded my expectations. He was outstanding in the hearing for my Workers Compensation case. We won this case. In my Equal Employment Opportunity and Equal Pay Act discrimination court cases, he was superb. All of these cases ended successfully to my satisfaction. Mr. Stein was very knowledgeable, always well prepared and hard working. He had a very calming and reassuring demeanor, but he came off as a “Bull Dog” when it was necessary. It made me feel comfortable and confident that I had a true “Champion” defending me. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Stein to anyone who needed legal representation.

Charges $50 for opening file. Ask me for info or do something, then charges for all phone calls & emails ($300 for me). Watch who you talk, $75 for ass't, $250 for lawyer, Marie. Charged $500. for Marie to drive to court and another $250 for 1/2 hr of court. In return for me, $65 for unserved subpoenas, over $200 in prep for original deposition that Marie was a no show. Marie never called witnesses for testimony until court, even though she was given info months ahead. Ability to represent for and during trial showed a lack of preparation and inexperience. Needless to say, we lost case of 9yr County notorized recorded deed as invalid, based only on memory testimony of senior citizen, claiming not present with no other legal physical evidence. Of course, Ms Troxler offered to handle appeal with up front $3500 nonrefundable retainer. No way, hired another lawyer to clean up her mess. This firm probably would lose case for Abe Lincoln. Oh, firm doesn't give monthly statements, so watch your charges from day of retaining firm. This firm only does basic legal forms needed by court, no investigating. You would do better, pro se, if you got knowledge to file legal forms. At least, if you lose, you save that nonrefundable retainer. At least, you know your best effort was done. Something this firm may have a hard time ethically saying.

When I first went to the law firm to have a consultation, I was nervous and uncomfortable. However, when I met with Ethan, that quickly dissipated into the feeling of hope and trust. I would recommend him any day to anyone needing a great attorney from the get go.

I was fortunate enough to work with Ethan Levin-Epstein through a difficult and tumultuous period in my personal and professional life. He is very knowledgeable in his area of expertise. This in addition to his wisdom and composure greatly aided in keeping me focused and grounded as we pursued a settlement with my former non-cooperative employer. This was a stressful time for me and my family. Attorney Levin-Epstein was instrumental in getting us through this with the bonus of obtaining a positive outcome.

This review is well overdo! Myles has been our family attorney 20+ years. He has counseled my family in traffic court, legal advice in MANY areas! He has never failed us once. If we had a case that was not in his field, he would refer us to someone who was just as vigilant as him in that they have always worked as hard for us as he has and Myles would always touch base with his referrals to make sure we were taken care of. When Myles is on your side you can rest assured you have the best representation possible!!! Words can't express how much he is valued!!!

Mr. Steib pretended to care about my case, when I asked him for help. He claims he had to reevaluate my case when he already said one thing about helping then switcthed! How does that work? Then he insults me and ask can I afford to pay him so much an hour! Then i tell him that was very insulting! Then he blows me off and says " Yeah..I have somebody calling on the other line call me if you have any other questions".. then hangs up on me not even given the chance to retort. How Rude!

Alicia is excellent. Her communication is concise, while offering empathy and patience hearing out any questions or concerns as they may arise. She is very good at what she does on a technical level, and perhaps more importantly she is incredible flexible if and when something unexpected comes up. She is exactly who you want on your side. I met with dozens of firms when I was considering taking legal action, and from the very beginning she stood out from everyone else. Looking back, I'm absolutely sure I made the right choice.

While representing me an unfair Labor practice against the Union and companies of the Union she failed to do simple legal research of unfair labor practices. After I discovered a multitude of unfair Labor practice laws that prohibited the companies and the Union of the treatment that they have done to me she refused to amend my complaint. As I constantly try to speak with her about the issue she became closed off and very combative. Unfair Labor practice laws the only took me less than 5 minutes to discover was laws that she never discovered on her own which leads me to believe she did absolutely zero research on my case. Not only that but it's unfair Labor practice laws that in my case cannot be debated by the defendant side. Unfair Labor practice laws like the violation of the Beck Act, Weingardener Act, Total Security under NLRB, and many more. Which we would have been able to prove without a reasonable doubt I did not receive as a union member and my case would be one. It also would prove the violation of the duty of representation of the Union itself in the union participation in the discriminatory practices that constitutes as unfair Labor practice it automatically entitles me to full back pay, front pay and punitive damages. Instead this lawyer refused to amend the original complaint which spoke nothing on the violation of unfair labor practices which was the exact reason that we were in court. Then this lawyer turned around and motion to be removed from my case because she was absolutely combative with a man in the complaint and adding the right case laws that was undeniable in the matter. And then she demands thousands of dollars in retribution after she failed to represent me correctly and properly research angles to win my case. This lawyer is a scam artist that makes poor financially disabled people sign a bogus contract agreement to secure her representation that's access for a high interest on the case when won. Knowing that the people calling is in desperate need she acts as a wolf and sheep clothing only communicating to rob the disenfranchised. Do you like knowledge of cases that she agree to join, well at least in my case. Then she does not put in the effort to properly defend the vulnerable worker that suffered the Injustice from their employer. I would not recommend this lawyer to my worst enemy. The laws that I've mentioned within this review I had to find on my own and once I tried to present the laws and help her out because she told me if I want my complaint amended I will have to find a different attorney. If you are someone with a strong case and financially disabled I would warn you not to take this road because in my experience it would not lead to the success in the case that would be deemed appropriate. It was absolutely a terrible experience and journey. So this attorney gets zero Stars and anyone that is bold enough to challenge my review here and seek to find out for themselves all I can do is pray for you and your family. My sincere's testimony from only my personal standpoint from my personal experience with this attorney. She will expect for you to pay her thousands of dollars even when she asked the courts to remove her from your case because she refuses to make corrections which is necessary for the greater good to your claims. Again I say this only for my personal experience, you have been warned.

When I had a work-related problem, and suffered significant stress-related issues because of it, I turned to Alicia Anderson for guidance. She had been recommended to me by a highly trusted source. From the prompt return of my initial call until the satisfactory culmination of my situation, Alicia could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and supportive. Ms. Anderson listens, hearing not only the facts, but the emotional turmoil that some situations engender, and she handles both the legal and emotional sides equally well. I could not have asked for better representation or more clear explanations of the applicable law. The value of her advice and attention to detail, combined with her ability to ascertain an effective resolution cannot be overstated. I would recommend Ms. Anderson for anyone. She will be straightforward, hugely competent and resolute in her pursuit of a fair outcome for you.

Sheribel is a very nice person, and a pleasure to speak with about issues pertaining to the law. However, I have to say that managing expectations is not one of her strong suits. I definitely would not use her again. It didn't go as expected--cost more in time and effort than worth it.

After over 13 years of employment with a publicly traded global human resources (HR) outsourcing and consulting firm in Lincolnshire, IL, I began experiencing discrimination and harassment at the hands of my manager and her "inner circle" (with the support of Executive Leadership and HR). A friend referred Ms. Rothenberg in October '07, but I wasn't able to meet for an initial consultation until Jan' 08. During this time, Ms. Rothenberg and I corresponded via email. Once I met with her and gave details pertaining to my case, she moved quickly. Before my manager was able to terminate my employement "legally", Ms Rothenberg intervened and the termination was stayed. In April '08, Ms. Rothenberg called me and said you don't have to go to work today. I will be faxing you paperwork shortly :) FAST is an understatement!!! The "settlement" allowed me to leave the company with unemployment and COBRA benefits in tack... along with some pocket change! I didn't have to go back to work for 9 months!!! Ms. Rothenberg is the quintessential professional! As she came to me... I would (and have) HIGHLY recommend her to anyone seeking justice in coporate America.

HAROLD LICHTEN represented me in my attempt to obtain appropriate severance payment. I had worked for the company in three different countries with different requirements for severance for senior staff. The company was attempting to severe me and pay the minimum according to US requirements. Harold was capable of negotiating a settlement much more favorable to me, in a short period of time. His approach was always clear, balanced, realistic and timely. As important, his office staff were always very helpful and effective in our communication. I have no qualms about recommending Harold to anyone in a similar situation to mine.

What i can not understand is why attorney Lichten would not let me participate in a class action lawsuit. I tried to reason, talk, call, meet with him, but he seemed to have a certain set of prejudice and anything else to keep me involved. I still am not sure why. I wish i had been asked or questioned or something to get to the bottom of it. I was a simple young woman trying to make my way into a law enforcement league in need of diversification in Cambridge Ma. I passed the required civil exam, three times. I waited and inquired and nothing. I had heard through some exam participants that a few in my case--who had passed the exam and seemingly had been removed based on race---were being called to a global civil class---with a settlement. Mr Lichten's firm at the time sent me a notice---which specified that my name was a on "shortfall list" of candidates who were to be contacted sooner or later in regards to the civil class action. I had great hope---that eventually after 1-3 years of waiting, i would be contacted examined or interviewed. Nothing came of it---- This is not an attempt to taint Mr Lichten's record at all. I have checked his records and i would say that nothing someone like me would taint or diminish the amount of greater cause works and achievements he has piled up over the course of 20 plus years in Boston. I do believe he is probably a well-meaning and honest man---I am certain based on all the civil cases i have looked and seen him win for the little guys that he is a super lawyer indeed in his capacity and an outstanding officer of the law and of the greater good. I just wished he had been more helpful kinder and more considerate with me. God only knows that good intents always outshine and supersede all of our bad ones. Always. In spite of all, of course---I'll recommend him!

In my case she was great with getting me ready for the deposition. She kept me inform with information that came up and who else they were bring in to get a deposition from. The only complaint I have and I don't know if she really could have done anything about it is the Old School Judge and Lawyer System that still goes on here in Augusta, GA. I wish it could have went in front of someone not around here or was from a larger city. The reviews about her being a trail lawyer and wanting to go to trail is her job and they had a choice to settle or go for more. Obviously they also didn't ask the right question.

Chris was very insightful in a discrimination case for me. We prevailed in getting a just settlement. He has also been available for discussions in other situations where his input was invaluable to me. Heartily suggest this Attorney for the type of cases he specializes in. He is dogged and persistent in his approach and will not drop the ball on you.

    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.

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.

  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.

      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:

  • 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.
