Jonathan came through on an emergency basis with generosity and kindness, helping women who were in danger and distress. On his own volition, he took care of them and made certain they were safe. If you’re looking for an attorney with a heart and soul, someone who connects and cares, and goes to great lengths for his clients, I cannot recommend anyone better than Jonathan Stanwood.

Jonathan Stanwood is an excellent attorney who has helped me with legal matters on a number of occasions this last decade. He has been practicing law for over two decades and his experience shows when talking to him about legal matters. Not only is he well versed in the law, but he also has a strong backbone made of integrity and honesty. I can always count on him to make sound recommendations or steer me in the right direction while always exercising good judgement. Stanwood is definitely worth reaching out to when legal advice or services are needed.

I have enlisted the services of Esquire Christopher Carr on multiple occasions. Every time Chris has been very efficient and successfully completed the tasks. Chris takes the extra time to communicate and collaborate with me making sure I am satisfied with his work. One example is that I had an offer from an agency to purchase my timeshare that I no longer wanted. The offer was presented very professionally and appeared to legitimate. Chris and I collaborated together on investigating the agency. Chris spent considerable time and research and was able to determine that the agency was not legitimate and was an elaborate scam. This saved me a lot of time, money, and frustration had I done this alone. Another example of Chris's expertise was getting all my and my fiancee's wills and power of attorney documents completed in a timely fashion. Most recently Chris assisted me in getting my Property Tax re-assessment completed. I highly recommend enlisting Chris for a wide variety of legal matters.

Along the year duration (rocky roads) of my case I was always reminded every single time, the prior day and was told specific details of what was needed on my part to get the outcome we desired. I personally am writing a detailed review not just because We ended up with a good outcome but because I couldn’t have felt more secure and comfortable with a team such as Dans.If I ever was in this predicament again without a doubt Mr.Pallen is on speed Dial !

Steven was great to work with. I had a crypto tax issue that Steven was able to review and resolve. I on my own would not have been able to navigate this issue with the IRS and State. Having a trained expert work on this was such a relieve. The case took longer than usual due to the pandemic. Steven made sure to keep me updated during the entire process with phone updates. We were able to get a favorable decision. It a big relieve and win for us. I highly recommend Steven Leahy to work on your tax issue. I can't promise you will get a similar favorable outcome but you will have a great attorney working on your case, which is the biggest part of getting the best outcome.

Going through a difficult and stressful period in my life where my finances were becoming too overbearing to deal with, I felt my only option was to file for bankruptcy. I called a few law firms and actually met with a local attorney who I felt didn't have much experience led me to look for attorneys further away. When I called the Liviakis Law Firm, I was quickly connected to Laurie, who was very pleasant and understanding. She made me feel like she cared and immediately wanted to help me. She was able to book an appointment that same day. Not sure what to expect, Mik was very compassionate and showed great knowledge in Bankruptcy Law. He was able to answer all my questions and concerns that I had about filing for bankruptcy. I immediately decided to hire Mik and it proved to be the best decision I had made. Mik, Jeremy, and Brent helped the bankruptcy process seem like a breeze and made me feel at ease. Brent and Jeremy were on top of making sure all documents were in place, guided and prepared me step by step on the process. Mik and his team have stood by my side every step of the way, especially attending the Meeting of Creditors, which was scary and nerve wrecking. Mik and his team have taken a huge and heavy burden off my shoulders and have given me the chance to start over. I am extremely grateful for the Liviakis Law Firm Team and am so glad that I decided to look further and drive the distance.

I visited a couple different BK Lawyers. But it was Mikalah that was referred to me by a lawyer that was retiring, and said he'd hoped to pass on his practice to Mikalah because of his skill level. Anyway true he wasn't the cheapest I talked to but when your talking BK, that's nothing I want to get cheapest deal when we're talking this magnitude of an issue. His professionalism was outstanding, and preparation was acceptional. I'd highly recommend him. Even the judge was impressed with his oganization.

It turned out that while our situation was complicated, it was not beyond James Michel's knowledge.

With Age Comes Wisdom. Going through this process, I invested a good amount of time to look for the very best & professional Bankruptcy Attorney. I could not afford to make a mistake. After a thorough research, Neil Crane & Associates came up as the best option. It's not easy to change the direction of your life; and this is a stepping stone that should be carefully done with an experienced professional. In my case, I worked with Neil Crane & Audra Buckland. I truly appreciated Audra following up on my case; she managed this stressful process, removing the complexities and make it more manageable for me. By far, both of them; the most human & efficient people. I highly recommend "Law Offices of Neil Crane, LLC".

I would highly recommend Attorney Neil Crane, especially in the area of real estate Foreclosures, where his talent was utilized. Within the last 40 years, I have retained no less than a dozen attorneys from Connecticut to Washington, D.C., one of whom successfully represented me in a Connecticut “Supreme’ Court” case. During those years I found only one other attorney that stacked up to Attorney Neil Crane’s ability and tenacity. He was a labor attorney in Washington, D.C. with an AVVO rating of 10.0. Attorney Crane brought a foreclosure action (on my wife’s and my behalf) within the speed of light (that’s 186,000 miles per “second”)! Along with other tactics, he legally finessed the other side to settle our issue in a most favorable outcome. He is an example of pure work. Since “a lawyer’s time is her/his stock in trade,” it is important to the client’s wallet to retain an attorney who not only is extremely expert in her/his field, but also possesses a tireless work ethic and most importantly---has a high degree of integrity. If one does their due diligence, I believe one will find that Attorney Neil Crane fits that bill. As of attorney Crane's support staff: "birds of a feather DO flock together." We communicated often with Debbie, Irene, Lisa and Stuart to name just a few of his staff . You can expect to be in constant contact with your appropriate advocates via email and/or telephone.

Neil Crane and his team are the best. I was forced into signing my mother into a nursing home. They told me only my mothers assets would be affected. They lied they took her house and wanted mine as well even though my mother had nothing to do with my house. My husband had a heart attack and other things that caused him to be disabled and not be able to work anymore. My job after 30 years was outsourced I got behind in my mortgage and they were going to foreclose. Neil and his staff helped me keep my home. I am truly grateful. Also a special shout out to Audra.

I was very reluctant to hire a bankruptcy attorney, for a few reasons. First, there's a service in the internet that takes you through the whole process for free (although you do the filing yourself). Second, too many "attorneys" out there. Well, the best decision I've made lately was to hire Stephen. He's very knowledgeable and supportive, and (very important!) ALWAYS replies back in a timely manner. And his fee ended up being more than fair for the peace of mind I had through the whole process. Well, I got discharged! Thanks Stephen!

I engaged Mr. Orchard's services initially because I received a court document naming me as a defendant in a foreclosure action. Having no idea that I was attached to the property, I needed a local attorney's help, as I live in a different state. Mr. Orchard patiently explained the legal meaning of the documents to me (actually more than once). Further, in assessing the implications of the documents and their impact on me, I had to share very personal and emotional family issues of estrangement and family wounds. Previously, I hired a PI to assist with the family issues, but he turned out to be a scammer. I hired a different atty years before for the family issue, who provided bum advice, blew through the retainer, and said that was all he could do. I contacted the sheriff's office, who said there was nothing they could do. I was ready to surrender. Long story short, Mr. Orchard was able to assist in discovering the familial information I was seeking and absolutely needed (and failed to obtain), and continued to work patiently with me to educate and coach me on the legal recourse I had with respect to the foreclosure. Additionally, I found him to be extremely fair and reasonable regarding the retainer I paid and the manner in which it was used. His services began in April, 2021, and effectively ended in August 2022. Throughout this time, Steve communicated with me regularly, kept me informed regarding actions taken and actions needed, and represented me in an honest and dependable manner. In fact, I trusted him completely, and felt he always acted in my best interest. In reality, he went out of his way to ensure I received the surplus funds I deserved from the foreclosure. Plus, he did all of this work over a 16-month period ON A CONTIGENCY BASIS! He even consulted with other attorneys that specialized in a completely different area of law (that was a factor in the claim) in order to ensure he was advising me correctly. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Orchard again, and you shouldn't either. If you are looking for an attorney that sees you instead of your money, I highly recommend Mr. Orchard. I found him and his lawfirm to provide excellent service, sound and helpful advice, and to have the best ethical integrity of any lawyer I've engaged!

My son Officer Michael Weiskopf of the St. Petersburg Police Department went in to the hospital with Covid 8/1/21 and his wife would not let us have any contact with Michael. She would not let us text him, call him, face-time him or visit him. She told the nursing staff not to give us any information on my son's condition. If we wanted any updates, we would have to go through her. She was giving us erroneous information and that is when we found our Guardian Angel Matt. Matt worked miracles and we were then able to get correct information on my son's condition from a reliable source. He also helped us get an object in my name that Mike's wife didn't want to give us, even though it was her husband's wishes that his brother have this object. My son's wife never told us that my son died and that there was a funeral planned by the St. Petersburg Police Department. Matt is one of a kind. He is compassionate, kind, caring, sensitive and is a super Professional. He knows his craft and he gets things done. If I lived in Florida, he would become my trusted Attorney.

I did a lot of research before hiring an attorney to assist me with the probate process. I ultimately chose Matt because I liked his website. He has plenty of videos that explain “legalese” for people like me who have no idea what it all means and he seemed really involved (something that a lot of attorneys aren’t). It turned out that Mr. Weidner was as involved as he seemed and he didn’t hesitate to answer any one of my million and one questions about what was happening during my daughter’s probate. Even though she had planned out her estate before her death and put everything in order and I had agreed to be her estate executive I have to admit to not having any idea what to do. I had agreed to the role because she asked me to, but luckily I came across Mr. Weidner and he made the whole thing seem much easier than the other lawyers I talked to. In the end probate went well. Actually, it was draining and devastating but the process itself was easier than I thought it was going to be which was one burden lifted. When things have settled down for us in our new life without my daughter, I plan to go back to Mr. Weidner to talk to him about my own estate planning. Now that I’m raising my grandchildren, I have a lot of changes to make and I’m hoping Mr. Weidner can make it as easy as he did our probate.

The home buying process is lengthy and complex but Michael was always there to explain each step in the process and guided me whenever required. Also he provided great insight which really helped me and negotiated on my behalf with the seller so I can get the maximum sellers credit. He and his team really made the process smooth and kept me on track to close the house much sooner than the offer closing date.

From start to finish the quality of service I received from both Chip and Sandy was top notch. I was so pleased with their availability to answer questions, time it took to reach them and get responses, and the ease with which they worked with me. I appreciated Chip's expertise and his personable attitude with me and his willingness to explain everything that could be somewhat tricky otherwise. The value I received was unbelievable! I highly recommend this law firm and Chip P.

I'm going through a property tax lawsuit and for the last 2 weeks I've contacted upwards of 50 different lawyers. No one would even simply give me the information that I needed to know how to proceed. Michael responded to my message here promptly and gave me a ton of information and what steps to take in the next one and I truly appreciate it. When you're going through something like this and you have no idea where to start just to have one person out of all the others that you contact actually put in the effort to communicate with you makes all the difference

After several years of family dispute regarding inheritance/split ownership of my grandparent’s real estate, I hired Mrs. Shaughnessy to help me with my legal advice and partitioning real estate needs. Even though I live out of state, Mara and staff was always responsive and professional when I reached out for status updates. Very pleased with the final judgement and currently in the process of finalizing everything so I can move forward with its sale. Overall, great experience and highly recommend Shaughnessy Law.

We have to start off by saying the court system is not fair when it comes to dead beat parents. Child services took my children from their mother for various warranted reasons (drugs, abuse, neglect), things that we didnt even know they were going through because they we to scared to tell anyone. We were appointed a court appointed attorney which was horrible and after my first experience with my last lawyer we were very skeptical about hiring a new lawyer. Mara came recommended to us through a friend and I have to say it was the best choice we've made in this regard over the last 11 years. During this whole process of the court and child services giving their mother chance after chance to reunify, making us feel like we did something wrong, and forcing the kids to talk and see their mother when they didnt want to Mara stayed positive. She was there anytime we had a question, needed a meeting, or advice during this 2 year process. We are grateful to say that finally we have full custody, the kids have completed their therapy, and they are happy and doing well in school.

I will be forever grateful for Susan Murphy ‘s information. She immediately understood my case and gave very clear information as to what my options were. After having spent the past two years doing my own research, I realized that, had I consulted previously, I could’ve saved myself all of those hours of aggravation and precious time. I will be forever grateful for her expertise.

If you truly want to save your home from foreclosure, you need Margery Golant on your side. Her wealth of knowledge about the mortgage industry is incredible and she will fight for you with every bit of that knowledge. I do not think we would still be in our home today had it not been for Ms. Golant’s tenacity and the fact that she cares deeply about her clients and their ability to remain in their homes. I cannot put into words how much I admire and appreciate her. I would most highly recommend her.

Many, many nights laying there next to my wife, shaking instead of sleeping. The feeling of abject failure and the loss of so many years of work and dreams. My initial mind set when I got behind on my mortgage was “I didn’t pay and I deserve to get foreclosed”. It certainly is a pretty straight line to that opinion. And you can rest assured that the so called judges in the Foreclosure Court, who are appointed, not elected, by and large believe this is true too. The long process of defending ourselves from the loss of our family home, which was the repository of every bit of our income (beyond consumables) for most of our lives, was an eye opening experience and some hard lessons about the law and in particular lawyers. Lots of lawyers will line up to take your money, and as much of it up front as they can get you to pay. I have more than several acquaintances who paid eight thousand, ten thousand dollar retainers. This was quickly burned up on ticky tack back and forth with the bank/servicer and then they lost their homes. One leader in my scout troop found out she was going to auction 7 days before it happened and her family of 5 had to move in with her mother in law. I’m here to tell you what you need is a Knight. On a Crusade. And that is who Margery Golant is to her clients. When she says: “I am personally disturbed to see consumers being taken advantage of…” she really means it and I have seen it many times in our long and SUCCESSFUL battle to not be foreclosed. Ms Golant had 3 judges disqualified from our case for public comments they had made that clearly showed the bias so prevalent in Foreclosure Court. She had our case removed from the Foreclosure division and put in Civil, where the judges answer to the voters, and care that the decisions they make are legally valid. She had the Service of the foreclosure thrown out 6 times. She fought a brilliant war of counter tactics and strategy that went on for well over 9 years. It seems crazy looking at it written here. Meanwhile my kids grew up in their home and thrived. Words can’t express our gratitude and if you are in this terrible situation, believe a survivor that this is your best choice for representation.

Mr. Arcia, wanted to take a moment and say thank you to you and your staff. When I made my first appt. with your law firm I went in very scared. Apprehensive as my past experience with other attorneys did not go well. When I sat and met with Yesenia, I explained my concerns to her and she listened and then explained my options. Within minutes I felt at ease and very comfortable. She made me feel safe and with hope that there was a solution. I had hope. She has been so informative keeping me posted and updated throughout the whole process. I was able to close the Chapter 7 and can't be happier. Your law firm has given me the opportunity to start over and get a fresh start. It's been a pleasure working with your firm. A special thank you to Yesenia for being so kind and patient with me. Signed by a very happy client. Grace S.

I contracted with Mr. Arcia's firm to help with a difficult mortgage refinance. I had tried unsuccessfully to renegotiate my mortgage on my own. The lender was very happy to raise my monthly by $2000 when my lousy mortgage signed at the peak of the housing craziness converted from fixed to variable. Mr. Arcia's staff took care of all the details during the 18-month process. Through it all they kept me informed and promptly answered any questions I had. In the end I was able to stay in my home while actually paying a few hundred dollars a month less than before.

This attorney helped me lower my payment to less than 100 per month!!! I have a new life now. Im a teacher so I can expect forgiveness of the balance of my loan in 10 years. Amazing

Hiring Samir Masri to handle my bankruptcy case was a true Blessing. Samir not only handled my case but had the compassion and humanity to guide me step- by- step and work with me during the entire process given I was in the middle of a devastating divorce and going thru breast cancer for a second time. He helped me get my bankruptcy case filed when other lawyers would not work with me because i did not have the funds to pay them. If you are looking for a lawyer that is compassionate and will help you, look no further. Definitely will recommend and use Samir for any future legal needs.

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.
