Ms Kresch was professional, very knowledgeable and very responsive. I found Ms Kresch to be very personable, she gave me the confidence that she knew how to navigate a complex tax problem and she was available when i needed her attention. I would absolutely call on her again and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

Adam helped me when I was wrongfully sued. It was a nightmare trying to prove my case and I felt helpless. Adam relived my fears and put me at ease. I felt I finally had someone in my corner. Shorty after enlisting his help he was able to clear my name and sort out the mess. I highly recommend Adam to anyone for their legal needs.

Adam Hoover has represented me in two matters, and I cannot speak highly enough of him. In a business related matter that was extremely stressful, Adam was accessible, always returned phone calls promptly, and helped me to feel confident that my case was in the right hands. He resolved the matter quickly and positively for me. In a second case, a family matter, Adam went to work quickly to provide me with necessary resources and provide the same knowledgeable, competent help he had in the first case. This case was also resolved quickly and better than I had anticipated. Adam has a strong work ethic, an excellent knowledge of the law, and passion for justice. I highly recommend him!

I have been in the unfortunate position of having to pursue litigation several times in my career when my property has been damaged. A silver lining in this cloudy process has been the opportunity to work with Adam Hoover. In my experience, stretching back over more than six years and multiple cases, Adam has consistently demonstrated excellent performance on many levels. While by and large, all lawyers have attended law school and passed the bar examination, not all of them have legal minds which innately grasp, interpret and apply the law to the set of facts particular to a given case. This quality is more than simply an enviable skill; it bears directly upon a client's experience during the litigation experience and ultimately the cost burden born by the client. This manifests in reductions of redundant work, excessive research and surplus discovery. In addition to the time and cost savings associated with thoroughly understanding issues and applicable laws in a case, Adam is mindful of the financial burden costly litigation places on clients. I never felt that Adam “nickel and dimed" me or overbilled me in any way. In fact, I know he is very conservative with his time keeping and while accurate, certain items on the bill are marked "no charge". Adam clearly places my best interest, as a client, as his top priority. He has demonstrated a consistent willingness to try to win my cases early in the lawsuit lifecycle. He has achieved an impressive level of success to those ends. That not only saves me the cost of protracted discovery and trials in some instances, but also allows me to devote my efforts to growing my business rather than litigating. Although he could bill three or four times more fees by taking a case through discovery and trial, he places his ethical obligation to zealously represent me above his personal profit motive. The last but certainly not least important area where Adam has distinguished himself in my experience is his accessibility. Even when he has other cases going to trial or experiencing a producing a heavy workload he still responds quickly to messages I leave and takes the time to answer my questions. Due to his outstanding legal ability, conscientious regard for his client’s well being and high ethical standards, i have, and will continue to recommend him to my friends and associates who find themselves in need of representation and can’t afford to lose.

My sister and I worked with Jeff on my cousin's estate. She found Jeff shortly before she died and was seeking his assistance in writing a will and ensuring that her wishes were respected. Jeff worked with her so compassionately and with such care. Subsequent to her death, Jeff has worked with us to help us navigate the complexities of working with banks et al when utilizing a small estate affidavit. He has been highly responsive and helped us advocate for ourselves through his expert advice. I would rank him in the top 5% of attorneys with whom I have worked.

I found Mr. Story on a website - I live in Texas but had a matter taking place in Evanston, IL and I needed legal assistance. I'm certain that Mr. Story is a busy man but he listened to my long, detailed issue. He asked questions - he was genuinely concerned and gave me excellent information so that I could move forward. It's so hard not being in the same state when you are trying to take care of an important matter. He took the time to walk this through with me and I was so grateful that I found him.

Marcella is one of the most caring, compassionate, honest attorneys I have ever dealt with. After having a horrible experience with a probate attorney 11 years ago, I met Marcella to complete my own will and legal documents. She was a breath of fresh air and made me realize just how dishonest the other attorney had been with my family at the time of my parents deaths. Thank God for honest attorneys like Marcella. I recommend her all the time and would never use anyone else for my estate planning.

I 'm from out of state residing temporarily in corporate apartments and was in need of a Power of Attorney. Thank goodness there was a neighborhood lawyer less than a mile away that provided the service that I needed, Mrs./Miss Marcella was that lawyer. She even answered by e-mail on Sunday afternoon concerning my POA.. The next day after work my POA was ready and my wife was very happy when she received the POA the next following day. Also a UPS Store was in the neighborhood. Now how convenient is that. Two birds with one stone. If you live around the Town Square Market at River city in Jacksonville you are very lucky to have this Lawyers service at your door step. By all means please stop in and give her a visit.

There are always two sides to every story, as indicated by the reviews and responses. I can only give you my perception and outcome from my dealings with Mrs. Taylor. First, I called to schedule an appointment with a "lawyer for people with limited income" and the fee was $295 per hour, now let me assure you I have never paid that amount of money in any of my appointments with Mrs. Taylor. Now, I'm sure someone will say, "you get what you pay for", in this case, I would say, "Board certified". In my opinion, Mrs. Taylor simplifies everything by telling you the bottom line. I would recommend Mrs. Taylor and if she isn't able to return your call right away, call again or better yet pay $300 or more per hour for the same law advice. In addition, I have in the past called for legal advice in which I will not mention names and I still have not heard back. In conclusion, Mrs. Taylor is, in my opinion, an honest and caring person with years of attorney experience. She is the first lawyer you should call if she can't help you she will tell you.

David and Tim have been retained by me for one year to negotiate significant domestic and international settlements, and they have shown and used when doing so the requisite skills which have moved settlements toward favorable results. They are at their best when preparing and evaluating cases, when using appropriate tactics, when using counter measures, when making first offers, when in direct examinations, cross examinations, and when in the examination of expert witnesses. Their writing is marked by being direct and precise, by blending precision with simplicity. David and Tim are particularly sensitive to complex moral situations, where no rule of thumb applies, no simple appeal to a single principle can assure a rational outcome. In such an instance they can be counted on to sort out the conflicting factors to determine what law, rule, or principle bears upon the situation, and what are the relative urgencies which govern a timely action. David and Tim command a family of intellectual traits and abilities which allows them to cope with the unexpected, grasp relations, and solve problems with speed and originality. Especially pronounced among their intellectual traits is their ability to create a congenial, professional relationship with their clients wherein written reports are delivered without fail on a designate date to a designated site to coincide with or be separate from timely discussions. Their work pays close attention to the importance of having everyone on the same page and having the client in charge and fully informed. I am a retired California State Senator who has hired and dealt with a number of skilled attorneys at law in the private and public sector. I have place David and Tim among the best of them and have in writing this statement measured them against this lot. Dan

Igor has been in my corner the entire time I have been in dispute with the IRS. He knows the in's and out's and contacts within the IRS due to his having been on the inside for them earlier in his career. My case spands a half a decade and not only has he helped me and my family get thru this nightmare but he has also showed me and my family compassion and has never waivered dilegence wise or his belief in my rights as an American citizen. I would not only recommend Igor but would persist that you use him either for individual tax liability or corporate liability. On top of him never showing doubt of my innocence during my case he actually showed me that his knowledge of the IRS's internal operations and the key players within its system that he can call on to move things along or get my info in front of the right people to make the next decision in my case was to say the least impressive. He is aggresive and he will get the job done and that is all that needs to be said. If you would like to speak with me directly to find out if Igor or his firm is the right fit for you and your needs, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time Igor office has all of my numbers and I would be glad to discuss what he has done for my family, business and quality of life with you.

I had an issue with my wedding videographer. We hired them to film our wedding back in August 2016 and our contract had stated a finished film would be completed by October 31, 2016, It was March 2017 and after countless emails to the person, I gave up and needed some professional help. I spoke with Brian about my situation. He had me email the contract to him so he could review and told me there was a breech of contract. He offered to call the videographer for me. The next day, Brian sent me an email letting me know that he was able to get in touch with the guy and got him to commit to an ECD as to when the film would be sent to me. Brian checked in on me a few days after the film was due to make sure I got it. I was not happy with the final product from our videographer and talked to Brian about possible steps I could take if I wanted to sue him. After some advice I got from Brian, I decided the damages were too little for me to sue and stress out about. Brian was very helpful and supportive throughout the entire ordeal. He was easy to work with and provided great advice.

My wife and I first hired Kevan in 2014 to established our Will and Testament. We met with Kevan again at the end of 2020, to revisit our many life changes including the purchase of another property and having children. With the many changes in our life over the past 6 years, Kevan walked us through the entire process of not only updating our previous estate planning but also establishing a Revocable Trust, Advance Health Care Directive's, Certificate of Trust and Power of Attorney & Designation of Health Care Agent for Minor Children. Legal terms and the law is confusing to the both of us. Kevan was patient while explaining and helping us to understand our distribution of our personal property, transferring assets to our trust and updating our Beneficiary's on multiple different accounts & policies. Kevan is very intelligent and hard working. He was more than willing to meet with us not only around our work schedules but also around the crazy sleep schedules of our two young children. All of this being via zoom meetings because of the shelter in place during the COVID pandemic. I would recommend Kevan to any family member, friend or neighbor in need of his services.

It's a great comfort knowing we have someone we can trust to take care of all these legal and financial issues for us well into the future. He charges by the hour (many lawyers charge a flat fee), but he's so efficient that it ended up costing much less than what larger firms quoted us. Very, very highly recommended.

John has represented my insureds in catastrophic matters for over 15 years now. He is very responsive having developed a first class litigation team that surrounds him. He is the most knowledgeable attorney that I deal with across the country. John understands the importance of providing excellent service at all levels, aside from his actual legal expertise, which is vital for the type of cases I handle and assign to counsel. I have seen John try numerous cases, and he is outstanding in trial. He has a commanding presence in the courtroom, and can connect with jurors from all walks of life. I handle cases from Los Angeles to Miami and still consider John as my home run hitter.

36 years as a claims professional working all across the country has put me in touch with Lawyers of the highest quality on both the Plaintiff and Defense sides. John Hall clearly stands out in my opinion as one of the best of the best. His reputation alone helps us resolve cases with catastrophic exposures. This reputation stems from his superlative ability in the court room. He comes to trial well prepared and has a remarkable ability to think on his feet when the inevetible unexpected adversity occurs. He can speak to jurors across the spectrum and is always well received. The judges respect him and even the most Plaintff oriented judge will give John a fair deal. John is experienced in catastrophic birth injury cases and is frequently hired by our cleints to assist local counsel in venues across the country. John is truly in the Elite of his Class and I recommned him with no reservations!

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.

    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.

    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.

  • 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.

      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.

      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.

      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.
