I contacted Paul after I was in an accident. He was very helpful from the moment he took me on as a client. He helped me get medical treatment through PLIGA when I had no insurance at all. Paul also made sure I was seen by a doctor immediately for my pain. The doctors he recommended were amazing. They seen my promptly and took care of my needs ASAP. Throughout the claims he was there when I needed him and was prompt on returning my calls / emails. During the depositions he helped me understand what to do since I never had to do one. When it came time to settle he was there and made sure I was fairly compensated for my pain. I highly recommend Paul Riviere II as an attorney, I will use Paul again when and if the time needs.

Mr. Riviere gets a five star rating from my husband and I. Any questions we had he made sure to answer them, and that we understood. He went way above and beyond to help us out, we had a case that turned out not to be a cut and dry as we thought it would have been, but he didn't give up until he got the results that were needed for our results. He always stayed positive for us, even when we weren't. This is a man who has the best interest of his clients first, and go above and beyond to get it. I would recommend Mr. Riviere to anyone looking for a through attorney, and if we would ever need an attorney again we wouldn't hesitate to call again upon his service and expertise.

Aaron H. Pierce is a powerhouse of an advocate. He is a master strategist/negotiator/litigator with a quick command of the facts of complex cases. My case was a thorny one involving at least two areas of legal expertise, one of them somewhat arcane. Mr.. Pierce welcomed the challenge! As his client, you will be treated to tireless, creatively aggressive representation and the highest degree of professionalism. Five stars are not enough but will have to suffice.

If you are looking for an immigration attorney who will stick by you through thick and thin, will advocate for you, and will ultimately succeed in getting you a green card, Ron Rose is the one. Ron originally represented me in my immigration case when I was company-sponsored and later with my marriage-sponsored case. Some people get lucky and have a relatively hassle-free, smooth immigration experience. I was not one of those people. I was lucky to have Ron fighting for me through years of legal maneuvering. No matter what obstacles the USCIS put it my way, Ron navigated them with professionalism and perseverance. Thanks to Ron, I have a my green card today.

I was recently arrested and falsely accused by a proprietor of a business. Upon appearing in Manhattan court for a D.A.T pertaining to this matter I must admit the taste of discuss the NYPD left with me was/is horrendous. Adam approached me and immediately upon speaking with me he could feel my frustration emanating, especially after sharing false claims/ allegations made in a spruced up report by an officer. His warm and understanding demener instilled in me a new confidence and hope of justice. He almost makes me look forward to my next appearance. This guy so far has given me a glimmer of hope that good representation is possible. I look forward to having his defense enlighten my lack of fair treatment and due process. THANKYOU SIR!!!!

I recently hired Adam to represent me for my DWI arrest on the Westside hwy. I had refused the breathalyzer in the precinct on the advice of a friend of mine that was an attorney but not the type of attorney you want giving you legal advice on DWI's. I was arrested on a Sunday evening and needed to spend the night in the tombs. My wife called my sister who is an attorney and asked her to find a lawyer and my sister must have made over 20 phone calls to lawyers asking for recommendations for DWI attorneys she advised that multiple people had brought up Adam's name and when she told me "I have never heard an attorney refer to another attorney as an amazing lawyer but even better person" I knew I needed to go with Adam. My wife had the initial communication with him but even she raved about how easy he was to talk to him. He wasn't able to make it to my initial court hearing the night I got out because he was in California on business but he had one of his associates come. Honestly you could probably save yourself 1.5-2k by not having an attorney because nothing actually happens at the hearing where you're released but I would have paid 5k just to get out of that place so I didn't care. When Adam and I first met I introduced myself said to him "after all of this is said and done, I hope I can say that hiring you was one of the best decisions of my life", and even that is not enough at this point. Adam was so honest with me but yet the way he carried out the conversation I still felt reassured that the best possible outcome was going to happen. I'm a realistic person, I know that if a lawyer tells me that there's a 100% chance of me getting completely off that he's just blowing smoke but Adam wasn't like that. He actually wanted to know about who I was, where I came from, the circumstances of the evening and things leading up to that evening. He really spent his time trying to find out who I was so that he could humanize this terribly unfortunate mistake I made. The NYS stance on refusals is no pleas and he told me that it rarely happens the first time, but that if we were persistent there was a possibly we would prevail. Adam scheduled a meeting with me to review all of the court documents and get my take on everything and also did his due diligence in trying to find discrepancies in the court that he could use, not only if we needed to go to court but also in trying to persuade the ADA to submit a reduced plea. The first hearing came and went and no plea. Obviously I was very disappointed but Adam once again, reassured me that this wasn't the end of the road. Adam was so persistent with the ADA, constantly communicating with him and seeing where things stood, I really knew that he had my best interest at heart. Sure enough, in the days leading up to the second and final hearing before we would have needed to go to court the ADA sent Adam a message with the reduced plea. No misdemeanor, not ignition lock, a license suspension reduced form 1 year to 90 days and I think $450 in fines. When Adam heard the news he immediately called me, emailed me and texted me. You could just tell he was so excited that we got exactly what we wanted. Overall, if you read this, regardless of what your DWI/DUI situation is, you will 100% be making the right decision to go with Adam to represent you. Adam, if you ever read this, I am forever indebted to you!!

There are good and even excellent criminal defense attorneys in the Kansas City area; however, Kevin is the best. What differentiates him and the Regan Firm are the ability to attack impossible issues with the client's life at the forefront. More than a results lawyer, he is a practitioner. For a family member, loved one, or valued client, the Regan Firm is the first, and really the only, choice. Generally, you get what you pay for when it comes to representation. But those who are experienced and understand know that there are good and then there are great. Kevin and the Regan Firm are great. They achieved the desired result but solved more than just the legal challenge. The practice has a just and compassionate style. This not only provides a solution, and ensures a client's freedom, but creates an opportunity to recover and preserve lives and dignity. That is the most valuable service in the long-term.

I was involved (starting in 2004) in a probate case with another lawyer. I spent the next 5 years trying to get him to be a lawyer. He was very incompetent and the experience was horrible. I needed someone to help me out of the mess the other lawyer created. And it was a mess and complicated by this time. I found Eric Gordon by a referral, and from that day my entire case began to look like something that We could resolve. Eric shared with me all the unethical actions of the other lawyer. Once he took on my case it all came together in MY favor. Eric walked with me through the legal system steps and all that he needed to do so that I always knew what was going on. Huge for me since the other lawyer was impossible to get return calls and emails from. Besides his total professionalism, Eric was available to me on every level. I felt watched out for and cared about as a real human being. He goes the extra mile to do what is necessary . A rare trait these days. Not only is the whole case finally behind me, I was also, with Erics help awarded a settlement!! If I ever need a lawyer again, I only wish It could be Eric Gordon.

By their very nature family disputes are disruptive and emotionally taxing. Eric Gordon has created a professional relationship built on trust and confidence as well as effectively and economically representing me in the resolution of custody and support issues. Mr. Gordon is extremely mindful of the long-term effects of marital dissolution and how the children and myself are affected. He has constructively advised me on countless preventive actions as well as applying a holistic approach to counseling me throughout this taxing process. Mr. Gordon has worked closely with my accountant and financial advisor. He has provided a depth of knowledge in all ancillary issues arising from the dissolution of my marriage, including the complicated division of income properties as well as navigating complex tax and estate planning consequences. We are going on a year and a half together through this process and it's not over yet. I am extremely grateful to have Eric Gordon on my team.

I absolutely LOVE Nicole. I wouldn't trust anyone else except for her when it comes to protecting me and making sure nothing slides through my contracts. She is SO responsive and takes the time to look over every detail and ensures that nothing is missed. Couldn't ask for a better lawyer!

My experience was phenomenal! Our company's former lawyer ran into legal issues which required our company to part ways and search for a new entertainment lawyer. After an extensive search for a new lawyer in New York Nicole Sotto and the entire Sottto Legal team quickly picked up where our former lawyer left off. Sotto Legal is extremely knowledgable, professional, responsive, courteous, and detailed. I highly recommend Sotto Legal!

I am producing a short film for the festival circuit. Nicole Sotto made it possible for me to secure a film location by writing up a contract/agreement between the owners of the facility and me. She made it an easy process because all she needed from me was to answer a few questions about the project. I gave her the info and within days I had the contract. She is helpful, intelligent, and anticipates your needs. She helps explain things in a way that makes you feel like you have a better understanding of your legal matter. If you’re looking for a no fuss, timely, and efficient entertainment attorney, you want to work with her!

I hired Mr. Stone off the recommendation from a friend. In the process of trying to recover my wrongfully withheld security deposit from my former landlord, I was countersued and subsequently lost in small claims court. After Mr. Stone reviewed my case, he gathered evidence in my favor through various legal routes that I would have been unable to myself. We then filed an appeal which was heard in a higher court. My landlord settled days before the trial and dropped his countersuit. Additionally, he returned my full security deposit and paid all my lawyer fees, including other accrued charges in the legal process. Mr. Stone put a tremendous amount of effort and time into my case and I would trust him with any other legal issues that would require an honest, experienced lawyer.

I was facing a very long process from a wrongful eviction to my deposit of $1400.00 being kept. I covered myself knowing the type of landlord I had. Being a single mother of two with a grandbaby and never being in this situation before I felt hopeless, until I went online and seen this site and chose to try Mr Stone he answered we started to talk about my situation and from then on we never lost contact. Mr Stone made sure I was informed every step of the way. With his knowledge and firmness displayed to this slum lord it was without a doubt he was representing me and to the fullest. After all was said and done my results were a wrongful eviction WON also my deposit and court fees PAID IN FULL. Where this landlord took away from me believing that good people no longer exsist Mr Stone restored. I really appreciate all the work he did to represent me and the stress he took off my family. If your in need of a professional to represent you with a great soul look no more Mr Stone is you guy. Again Mr Stone THANK YOU. fees paid in full. This guy was awesome and then some.

This was Evan's first family law case out of school, but he came prepared. He served more as a mediator than a tool of aggression, which worked out well since the other party didn't have a lawyer and I wanted to solve the disputes amicably and knowledgeably. Evan was very helpful and professional and helped us come to thorough resolutions. He has also been diligent about maintaining my case since it was opened 2 years ago.

There are some other reviews here mentioning that Roman is a genius, and I have to echo that statement. I engaged Roman as a start-up founder for a complicated contract issue against a seasoned publicly traded company. Main points in my experience: Roman is an exceptional/creative business and legal advisor. He really is much above average in his capabilities and understanding as an attorney. I’ve had a number of attorneys look at my contract before (a 6 figures contract drafted by the most expensive legal firm in my state). He was able to thoroughly yet quickly dissect and capture the landmines that bypassed numerous other attorneys. Roman will look out for your best interest. He truly cares about his clients, and every moment charged produced value. Roman is extremely honest. That being said, he will tell you the harsh realities of your situation and work with you to find out the solutions. Roman is not just a spectacular attorney, but he is a valuable advisor that you would want along your entrepreneurial journey. He is also a great individual to work with, and I wished I found him much sooner in my career.

I wanted to share an extremely positive experience I had working with Brian. Not only is he smart and well connected but he is compassionate. I had an issue with some tenants who were law students, and thought they could leave my place in a shambles and not paid 3 months and leave their lease 4 months early. I had originally contacted Brian to handle the eviction, however he went above and beyond to try to solve this for me, and was able to obtain satisfaction out of this unfortunate set of affairs. He took extraordinary steps at his own expense. At each step of the way he let me know what was going on and even though it took a little bit longer but it's only because of the court system. I will certainly use Brian for other things I need in the future such as real estate closings or other business transactions. He is more expensive than other eviction attorneys, but he will come through for you where others fail, and is worth his weight in gold to put things in his capable hands and be able to step back, and get an excellent resolution with someone who really has your back.

I came to Ron for help when I ran into problems writing my first book. It was a biography of a Hollywood actress and I needed legal advice to protect myself and to ensure that all necessary permissions were secured. From the start, I found Ron to be completely professional and totally knowledgeable about the entertainment business. I felt that he took my case very seriously and did not consider my dilemma to be frivolous, which was a fear of mine going into this. He was always extremely supportive and encouraging. He was EXACTLY what I needed. It did not take me long to realize that I actually had better representation than the actress I was writing about! While I did not achieve all of the goals I was hoping for, that was more a reflection on others than on the efforts of Mr. Bienstock and his team. The bottom line is this: my book is published and I am extremely grateful for that. I do not think I could have accomplished what I did without the guidance of Ron Bienstock.

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.
