I have Mr. Boatright to thank for my freedom and my sanity through my case. I could not have had better legal representation, he went above and beyond literally from the very first time I spoke with him all the way to the very end and the outcome was so much better than I even thought was possible.

1) Out of the dozen or so I called, he was the ONLY one who spent time listening and breaking down the scenario before even discussing a fee. He actually cared. He wanted to fight this unjust scenario. 2) My case was civil, but he approached it like it was criminal, and knew all the appropriate avenues to take. 3) He put on a clinic. I left happy and won. 4) He answered all my texts and calls in appropriate time. I'm sure I wasn't the easiest client, but he never once made me feel bad for my concern over my case. 5) I hope to never have to hire him again but if I had to, I would without question. 100% 6) He may use me as an offline reference as well. Thank you so much!

This was the first time in my life I have ever found myself on the wrong side of the law. Throughout this process he was knowledgeable and aided me in navigating my way through the darkest period of my life. My case was complicated, muddled in falsities and obfuscation. Chris was able to untangle it all and put forth a comprehensive approach that anticipated everything. At the time I did not fully appreciate the amount of time, effort and patience he had. I also learned after being incarcerated how broken the legal/corrections systems in Orange County truly are. I hesitate to elaborate more, suffice it to say he exceeded expectations and could have quit on me several times throughout the process. Do you want someone who shoots straight (don’t BS this guy EVER, he is one of the most intelligent people I know). Also, remember you’re (if incarcerated in Orange), you’re at 33rd, he’s in Winter Park. He’s a warrior. Call him. If you’re being flooded with a flurry of mail from lawyers it’s difficult to know what to do. Call him.

When I was younger, I received a Minor in Possession of Alcohol. Sandy was able to get the charge dismissed. As a young adult, I wrongfully received a speeding ticket. I recorded the entire encounter with the police and was able to provide Sandy with the video along with other notes. Once again, she was able to get the charge dismissed. She spoke with the police officer before the case was brought to trial and convinced the officer to drop the charge. Sandy is very knowledgeable and an expert criminal attorney. I appreciated Sandy’s honesty regarding the unique situation of each case and her straightforward communication throughout the process. I highly recommend her if you find yourself in a situation that requires her services.

I wanted to take the time to say that I highly recommend Sandy Rabadi if you're in need of an attorney. I had been charged with a DUI back in February in Burbank and Sandy was successful in not only working the plea down to a wet reckless, but also in getting the fines and accompanying alcohol classes waived as well. I found Sandy to be extremely personable and professional throughout the entire process. I also appreciated her straightforwardness as she provided me with realistic expectations based on the facts of my case. As one would expect, the past few months stemming from my DUI situation had been stressful and, at times, trying. However, Sandy Rabadi was a definite bright spot. I highly recommend her.

I was in a pinch. I mean I was in a lot of trouble. I went to talk to the DA without a lawyer and it was horrible. I hired Chris and he worked miracles, but what makes him so good is, that I thought I had a great deal and was happy as could be. It wasn’t good enough for him though. He definitely fights for his clients, and gets the best possible outcome.

Bill is an excellent attorney who helped me through a high-conflict divorce with his strategic and calm approach. He is very patient and thinks before he reacts. He never leaves you guessing and openly shares information he receives from the other attorney's involved. One thing that I really liked about Bill is that throughout my entire case I always understood what the worst case scenario could be. He never once mislead me to believe we would win the case or any given dispute would be in my favor. I valued his transparency. He knows what he is doing when it comes to family law. I would certainly recommend him to any of my friends or family that are going through a difficult divorce.

Bill was a great help and resource after my divorce as my ex-wife wanted to fight me on everything for our son. He takes his time to make sure he has every resource available for him to review and makes sure he helps make the right choice in your case. This case was a long one and Bill kept me update on any communications that came from the other attorney. We always worked through what I was requesting and making sure every detail was covered before it was filed with the court. My ex-wife used two attorney's to help fight against what I was wanting for our son. Bill is very reasonable when he has open communication with other attorneys. In the end... Bill being very calm and patient helped grant what I was trying to get for my son I would recommend Bill any time and would use him again in the future if I ever need it. At least sit down with him so he understands what your direction is.

Our family hired Grant to save the bacon of our loved one who (sometimes) makes bad decisions. Grant made himself available to us immediately with open and constant communication. No question was left unanswered, he guided us through the entire process, informed us of options and gave professional opinion on how to proceed in a very complex and difficult situation. Most criminal defense attorney's don't offer such a caring and interested attitude. Grant is the exception to the norm, he cares about the family's concerns and needs, as well as his client. He achieved a result that absolutely served our loved one well. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

My child is OUT OF JAIL because of this lawyer. He had been arrested and held with No Bond and the charges were scary and involved a gun and a robbery and the prosecutor was talking about sentences of 25 years in prison. The other lawyer we hired barely even visited our son and said the jail was far away. We lost a lot of money on him. When we hired Mr. Dwyer, he visited Carlos the same day. He explained to us the process and made it clear to understand. He found the problems in the case and before we knew it the prosecutor was announcing a dismissal and are son is HOME.

Attorney Phillips helped my family obtain a Harassment Prevention Order (HPO) against a neighbor who had broken into our home, stolen thousands of dollars worth of jewelry from us and sold it in a pawn store. The neighbor then proceeded to harass my wife and daughter (8) when he was charged by the police. Attorney Phillips was very knowledgeable, and was able to help guide the court on the procedure and how the statute was written (as HPO's were relatively new at the time). Attorney Phillips returned to court with us each year to help us renew our order, and eventually was able to help us obtain a permanent order against the defendant. Without Attorney Phillips I feel as though my family would have fallen through the cracks of the system, and we would not have received the protection that we needed.

I am an activist for the poorest, least represented people in society and I have known Nancy since she was a public defender. She is a brilliant tactical attorney at trial and she is very well received when it comes to negotiating positive outcomes with district Attorneys. Nancy has a compassion and empathy that really tunes her in to the clients personality and she very quickly grasps the critical dynamics of relationships and circumstances of a case and she sorts out the truth and presents it to the court in persuasive terms. not everyone is innocent, and Nancy is very compassionate and she negotiates outcomes that are fair and positive for the client and the court. Nancy keeps people out of jail and minimizes their time in the system and the system can be very unfair without Nancy to guide you through it. She has also gone to bat for people on probation to be allowed to use medical marijuana with a prescription, particularly people with HIV who only get relief from marijuana use and nothing else. It took a lot of guts for her to advocate for changes to probation in Boulder County to allow people with medical conditions to use medical marijuana, it was a very edgy subject at the time. Nancy has worked on important cases and important issues without regard for her personal compensation many many times. I recently learned when I sent her a new client that she is finally a partner in a firm and I want to say it is about time Nancy got PAID! I have extensive experience with very tough people in the justice system in Colorado, I know the group of top attorneys in Colorado very well, and Nancy is absolutely the best. If you are in trouble, she is your savior, I've seen her work her magic for everyone I have ever sent to her and there have been many. Thanks for everything you do Nancy. Peace

I interviewed 4 attorneys to handle my case. The first 3 attorneys spent 15-20 minutes with me on the phone explaining what I was facing and how they would defend me; each then invited me to their office for a 30 minute meeting, presumably at which point they would ask for my signature for their representation. Nancy spent an hour with me on the phone without any charge or expectation that she would represent me. She explained every detail of what I was facing and what was the most likely successful outcome. She was far more detailed than the others. She allowed me to ask a lot of questions. And when we were done with the phone consultation, she said, "I know you're talking with other attorneys. If you want to proceed with me, let me know." Choosing Nancy was easy because she gave me her best without expecting anything in return. As Nancy represented me throughout the process, I got the same treatment. She communicates in a very timely manner. She understands how to navigate the system to her clients' benefit. Knowing that a court-ordered treatment program would be part of the judge's decision, she got me going in that early. She took a personal interest in my family situation. Everything played out as she said it would, and I received the best outcome that was possible given the situation. I am very thankful that I found Nancy to represent me in this unwanted situation. I would recommend her to anyone facing similar.

My name is Jacques Delacroix. I am a retired professor of Management. I live in Santa Cruz, California with my wife, Krishna Delacroix who is an artist. Recently, we went to John D. Laughton, A Professional Law Corporation in Monterey, California for help to deal with the complex and forbidding business of making end-of-life legal preparations. We dealt entirely with Brandie Luis Esq. ,and with the pleasant office staff person (whose name escapes me right now because, well, I am writing a will am I not?) Ms. Luis deployed incomparable patience and perseverance in dealing with our passivity (and perhaps, with our unconscious resistance). She guided us skillfully through the meanders of legal dispositions we did not even suspected to exist. As a result of her quiet efforts, my wife and I now think that we have done all the right things with respect to our offspring and with respect to the world at large. We believe that thanks to Ms Luis, our passing will not trouble much the peace of those we leave behind. We even think we will leave behind us a slight wake of benevolence. Those are satisfying and probably rare feelings. Ms Luis ' disposition is so conscientious and so kind that once, she ever made a house call to us! (I hasten to add that this may not be a service the firm offer routinely and to all is customers. We may well have received favored treatment, on his occasion though I am sure we did nothing to deserve it.) Obviously neither I nor my wife have any previous experience with this kind of endeavor. However, we suspect we stand more on the side of clients from Hell than on the side of angelic clients. Ms. Luis never lost her cool with us and she continued to direct us with a firm but friendly hand until the task was completed. If loving lawyers were not a human impossibility, we would say we have come to love Ms Luis!We could not recommend her personally and the John D. Laughton firm more highly.

She was able to assess the situation quickly and worked with the State and the banking institutions on our behalf to resolve the issues we encountered all to a successful outcome. Brandie was always prompt with her communications and updated us frequently through the whole process. I especially appreciated her support and concern for us, we really felt that our situation was as important to her as it was to us, this is a rare commodity that you don't find very much these days.

She was very thorough in ensuring all our assets made it in to the trust which was very reassuring as I have heard other peoples horror stories when they found out too late their assets weren't actually in the trust. Brandie's thorough nature ensure we are in good hands and the estate will remain a legacy for generations to come!

When I first started inquiring about lawyers, Attorney Robert Landheer's name emerged immediately. Several other lawyers highly recommended him, including my personal family lawyer, close friends who knew of him, and especially one very very close friend with whom I have composed and performed music for many many years. From my first meeting with Robert, he was kind, caring and listened with great detail. As a recording musician for over 40 years, I easily recognized a professional. Robert Landheer Esq. is one of the most caring, intelligent, and superlative professionals that I have ever encountered.

Robert and his team helped me to navigate a complex criminal case that spanned many months and involved multiple law enforcement agencies. Robert’s experience, talent, and expertise were instrumental in securing a favorable resolution. I was constantly impressed by the positive interactions he had with everyone involved in the legal process. It is no surprise to me that Robert is so well respected by law enforcement, prosecutors, and fellow attorneys. I appreciated Robert’s honesty and straightforward communication. He was clear with me at all times regarding the status of the case, the path forward, and the possible outcomes. Additionally, he treated me with a level of respect and compassion that helped me to feel at ease despite the seriousness of the situation. Robert’s patient approach and strategic thinking allowed him to resolve my case in a manner that was far better than I had thought possible. It was a pleasure working with Robert, Russel, and Keiran.

I experienced ongoing harassment from the ​​Waltham police who seemed to take advantage of ​my ​complicated family situation​.​ ​I am an African American and a single paren​t who actually believed that I have rights. ​Silly me. The police used every opportunity ​to attempt to get​ me​ into trouble​ repeatedly​ all in retaliation for my filing internal affairs complaints due to their misconduct.​ I was fighting a losing battle. ​ This happened in front of my family and friends. They all just said move. ​Erin Opperman walked into my life and gave me hope. In my opinion My prior att​orne​y was afraid of the ​District Attorneys​ office.​ The charges were bogus. Not Erin. After Erin got involved no additional bogus charges were ever filed. She had to fight for several years​, not months, years​ , before the case was finally dismissed​. This include​d ​Erin ​getting ​my​ case transferred to another venue. ​The DA was super angry with her for fighting so hard for my freedom. She had to file motion after motion after motion. She recognized what I was up against and stood by me. Erin refused to let them rail road me. Anyone that is looking for a lawyer who will fight for you as if you were her own family, then she is the person that you want representing you. I was a difficult client, I always calling her crying asking why me? She listened patiently and calmed me down. I thank God that she did not withdraw from my case when things got worse. I would have been convicted of a crime that I did not commit. I thank God that I met Erin, she is lawyer that gives 100% to her client. I would hire her again if I am ever in need of a excellent lawyer who will be committed to my case.

I had an extremely high conflict divorce. During the nearly year long nightmare, Barre went above and beyond in handling my case. While my ex was largely able to isolate my young children from me for the entire divorce, in the end my young children got a better parenting plan than was recommended by the PRE and it will ramp up to 50/50.

I have a very high-conflict post-divorce situation involving my vulnerable children. My family and I call Barre, "our Super hero." Barre is a human being first with a heart of gold for children and families. As I was a wreck, Barre "cut to the chase" and helped me navigate a very emotionally difficult situation. My daughter was on death's door. By listening to Barre, we won EVERYTHING in court. My daughter is alive and thriving. Unbelievable to me given the fire power of my ex and his willingness to lie and use my kids as pawns. I would not want to play against Barre in a game of chess, but having him on my team was life saving. I am forever grateful to Barre and his partner, Amy for giving me my daughter her life back, my sanity back and renewed sense that no matter what, LOVE and TRUTH (with Barre as my attorney) will win!!

When there was decisions to be made (test this, hire an expert, or consider a plea deal) he informed me of my options and what the benefits would be and how much it would cost.

I found myself in a situation where I needed an attorney and actually called David Greenberg for a recommendation because I thought my litigation was a different field than I knew he practiced. He informed me of all of his qualifications and I choose to work with him. I highly recommend David Greenberg and the quality people in his office. He (and his partner) went through REAMS of documentation keeping clear the detailed information that was useful to my case. David was readily available to answer any questions I had in a process I knew nothing about as clear communication was important to both of us. He and his team were willing to go farther than I was willing to go (trial) and he heard my goals and kept them at the forefront. He is ethical. His fees are reasonable and worthwhile. I settled out of court and feel it was fair, legal and in keeping with my best interests longterm. I made a great decision in choosing David Greenberg and would hire him again in an instant!

I was at a very low point with a domestic situation. I was, infact, innocent. Kristina was a public defender at the time. Ms. Davis-Jones went out of her way to have the charges dropped and I will forever be grateful. The misd. was trespass....

Mark was thorough and professional. His wise guidance helped me through the maze of confusion and intimidation that is today's justice system. His determination to represent me resulted in the prosecution's dismissal of my case. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to anyone seeking true justice and strong representation.

Ms. Stine represented me in my divorce 5 years ago. She persuaded me to stay out of litigation and work out a settlement, which we did....she saved me thousands of dollars by preventing court intervention, as well as helping my ex-husband and I move on with minimal trauma. Highly recommended.

Excellent trial team and staff. Attorney Trent Loftin was wonderful and would highly recommend! Very pleased with the outcome of my case. He and his father are both former prosecutors.

The staff and attorneys are amazing. The office is located directly across the street from the old court house. I believe both Trent Loftin and Jerry Loftin are former prosecutors. They took a no-nonsense attitude and helped get my case dismissed. Very appreciative to Trent and Jerry (and their staff Brenda and Stacey). Highly recommend.

I had some concerns about my car insurance company after I filed a claim. I found Mr. Battisti's info online and contacted him. He was very friendly, listened to me and gave me advice. Consultation was free but it felt like I paid because he did not rush me off the phone like other lawyers I contacted. I ended up not needing a lawyer but if I did it would definitely be him. I 100% reccommend him.

As an attorney seeking counsel on a sensitive matter, I was very impressed with the overall package that Mr. Battisti brings to the table. He makes an excellent appearance, is well spoken, and chooses his words only after carefully weighing the best options. His vast and precise knowledge of law and procedure in his field made me feel at ease and was extremely happy to have him as my attorney. He exudes his many years of Courtroom experience and wisdom. Mr. Battisti's mastery also shows in quick wit, and his zealous nature to get every inch he can for his client. If you want to sleep well he's your guy. Thank you.

After I was arrested I searched for and spoke to numerous lawyers and felt no confidence. I began looking through the"Top 22 Lawyers" list and found the Law Offices of Daniel and Hudson. I spoke with the paralegal Brittany and she had a lawyer call me back within minutes. After speaking with the lawyer, Mr. Halstead (a military Veteran) I was more at ease and knew this was the right lawyer. The up front cost wasn't ridiculous and he was already making a plan on how to move forward. We spoke often at his office answering any questions I had and he also called me to let me know what was going on with my case. My charges were very serious and I was originally looking at a possible 25 years, but with his advice to hold out for a better outcome, it was 8 yrs, then it was just probation then it was dismissed. I owe it to Mr. Halstead for his knowledge of the criminal justice system and knowing when and how to present his case. I would "Highly" recommend Mr. Halstead in any criminal case because of his professionalism and knowledge base. Thanks to Mr.Halsted and his team (Brittany and Veronica) I got my life back!

Woodrow Halstead sets the standard for legal work in San Antonio and south Texas.

I was in a big messy divorce and allegations arose of misconduct with my child ( to put it mildly ). After putting money down with a criminal lawyer that I will not name, I saw the beginning of a scary path because the lawyer lacked sufficient experience in these type of cases. So I looked up the Daniel and Hudson law firm and decided to present my case. I was informed of what to expect and what not to expect. But throughout the conversations I’ve seen the experienced lawyers treating this case with diligence. What I experienced in the court room when my lawyer questioned the states negligence in facts and lack of officers experience in sensitive information was overwhelming to witness; since I would have never known what to expect in this type of case. My confidence with my lawyer Woody was further uplifted when the intern lawyer that I met during the trial proceedings told me that a lot of interns come to see him defend his clients. It was almost a god given sign that I had the right person for what is the most traumatic experience in my life... Thank you Woody, you gave me my life back.

I have seen Jacob Long for the past 4.5 years, and his professionalism rises high. His advice has ushered me through many a tight spot. I went to a top ten high school and many classmates had perfect scores on the SAT. Many became lawyers, many became doctors, but they are all true to what they do. Mr. Long reflects that image clear as a bell, as his advice is strong and true.

The attorneys at Lord & Hardaway LLP's knowledge and expertise were vital in helping me with over a dozen real estate transactions from 2007 to 2009. My investment company relied upon Johathon to navigate the complex legal mine-field of loan regulation and private security regulations. The professionalism of the Lord & Hardaway team is shown through the quality of their work which is performed in a diligent and efficient manner.

I poured many hours and eyestrain, I went without sleep and ate a poor diet, I did everything I could to create a business. After some hard times I am doing better than I every expected. With that money I took care of my family and raised three beautiful children and took care of my wife. Things changed and in a blink of an eye the change in my relationship put everything I worked for in jeopardy. Rather than hash the details let me just say that he was recommended to me along with another attorney who I went to first. I went against my gut going with someone else at first because of mutual friends. (I was also conerned that he worked with a lot of women and might not be sympathetic, which was way off base. After hearing from the other attorney that I should be ready to liquidate, lose the overwhelming majority of my money and my time with my youngest I went back to "Mr. Mo" I call him, (I'm calling him Pashan now). He didn't sugar coat it either but he was ready to fight and to reason and do whatever was necessary so that I didn't have to entirely start over at this point of my life. It was ugly at times and he stepped up, and definitely switched it around to being on the offensive and planned for contingencies. In the end he forced my ex and her lawyer to be reasonable. He also helped me with a good deal of business and trust work and the sale and move I made. I hope I am conveying what a good lawyer and friend he has been. He wasn't trying to hurt people or stick it to anyone or keep things going just to do it, he was just trying to defend my interest in and get everyone to see how they could reasonably make the best of an unfortunate period we had to get through to be happy and move forward.

  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?

  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

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.
