Even during “normal times” the death of a parent is difficult enough. Our mother passed away during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which made dealing with her death and financial issues even worse. Since our family had previously sought the counsel of Stephanie Townsend-Allala when my father passed away and we were very satisfied with her legal services we sought her expertise again. When we talked to her about our concerns she took her time to answer all our questions and concerns. She made us feel at ease by her caring and compassionate manner. We are tremendously grateful for her expertise and knowledge in Elder Law. Our family highly recommends her legal services.

My family consulted Ms. Allala concerning our Mom's estate after her passing. The State of Texas sent us a Texas Estate Recovery Program questionnaire to determine if the State of Texas had any claim against our Mom's property. Ms. Allala was extremely patient in helping us answer the questions correctly. She answered all our questions with precise knowledge of statutory claim exemptions. Ms. Allala demonstrated professionalism beyond the call of duty. Her staff was also very friendly and kind during the set up of our consultation. Ms. Allala also gave us the peace of mind that we craved during our stressful time of taking care of our Mom's estate. We highly recommend Ms. Allala and her law firm in dealing with elderly care.

Stephanie Townsend gave us tremendous hope in our situation and guided us through our journey like a pro. She was always available to us to tell us what we needed to be doing. No question was too dumb. Stephanie answered them all and encouraged us. She is professional, knowledgeable, and offered emotional support to us as we faced difficult decisions in our situation. My family is grateful to her. We cannot praise her enough for all that she has done. Without hesitation, we recommend her highly and without any reservations.

I truly recommend hiring Christopher Bellow as your attorney. I was very impressed with him the first time I met him, because of his pleasant personality and deep concern regarding my situation. He was very easy to talk with, and assured me he would do the best he could to solve my appeal, which he did. The settlement was rectified in record time. A very nice man!

After a death, the last thing you want to do is worry about someone liquidating your fathers assets. This is what my sisters and I had to face a week after burying our dad. Due to him not having a will things where really complicated and his wife tried to take advantage of the situation. A family friend referred us to Bill and he has been a breath of fresh air throughout this entire process. Her attorney has been procrastinating the entire time and Bill has been on him like white on rice! Bill is very much to the point- no BS so if you want to be coddled then this one isn't for you. But, if you want the facts and someone that is going to give it to you straight while fighting for what's right then Bill is your guy. I highly recommend his team to anyone going through probate or a family settlement agreement. He's expensive but well worth the money I promise!

There are few things as personal as a family dispute. There are even fewer people with integrity that will ethically represent you during an extremely difficult time. I interviewed many firms, as it was not only important to me that a positive outcome occurred, I also wished for someone that understood my plight and had character throughout the process. Bill was professional, thorough and honest from the start. He pointed out facts that no one else did as he had a grasp of the intricacies of our family trust and the law. He advised me openly along the way and I am grateful that he got an extremely positive outcome in a relatively short timeframe and at a fair fee. Highly recommend Houser Law Firm.

Mr. L. Lamar Armstrong, Jr. came highly recommended, and did not disappoint. I was involved in a partnership dispute for a small business. Lamar was awesome to work with! He provided options, guidance, and education throughout the process, all while allowing me to make the final decisions on which steps to take. It was a lengthy process, and stressful at times, but I always had confidence that Lamar was working hard to reach a favorable outcome in my case. Lamar is extremely knowledgeable, and able to explain legal aspects in ways that are easy to understand. I am extremely happy with the results and highly recommend Lamar, Jamie, and the whole team for any legal needs.

We have never had an attorney but, if, in the future, we ever needed one, for what ever reason, Mr. L. Lamar Armstrong is now my over whelming choice. If you are looking for someone that you could call a ”Perry Mason”, Mr. Armstrong is your man. In my opinion, Mr. Armstrong is knowledgeable, a great listener with a great personality making one very comfortable and able to discuss issues easily and without feeling intimidated. My situation resulted from a local Large Home Center reneging on a legal contract. 45 days after the contract was signed and due to be completed in 15 days, the local Large Home Center called me and informed me that they were raising the price of my roofing job by an outrageous 250%. I was told that this was not negotiable. They said “They had a way out!” and hung up on me. Since this seemed to be a deliberate contract violation by the local Large Home Center, it was obvious that I needed a good attorney. I did a lot of research and selected L. Lamar Armstrong. I documented all the details of the transaction and presented them with the signed contract to Mr. Armstrong. At our first meeting, he informed us that our contract was valid and binding and the Large Home Center had no outs or legal recourse but to honor the contract as is (not a good option for me since I did not trust them) or have my roof installed by a different roofer. I could then file a Small Claims suit to recover the difference between our original legal and binding contract and whatever my new roofer would charge. He told us that, at this point, we would not need additional services from him, but he was available to give us follow-up advice at no additional charge. Based on his superb advice, suggestions, proposed action plans, and resulting responses from local Large Home Center, we obtained the evidence of the contract violation enabling us to easily win our case in Small Claims court.

I contacted Mr. Hancock after his name was given to me by a good friend. I had asked her if she knew of attorney who would be able to help my senior mother prepare a Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney, Financial and Medical Power of Attorney, and not charge her an amount that would cause a coronary. I also wanted someone that she would feel comfortable with, and Mr. Hancock was the perfect lawyer for her. He was not only very welcoming, he was very understanding that my mom has early on-set dementia, and was able to communicate with her on a level where she was able to explain what she wanted included her the will. I am getting ready to have my own Will and PofA's done and will definitely be contacting Mr Franklin to prepare these for me.

I recommend Leah Altaras , on every social post I see on social media in regards to anything they’re going through. Leah is an Advocate for righting wrongs, I met her as a Prosecuting Attorney, and when my life was altered in an MVA I called Her for advice, and she was willing to take on my Personal Injury case. I was compensated by the other guys insurance the maximum amount as well as my own under insured coverage. At about 80% recovery, after a year of Physical Therapy, I was hit again, MVA. Compounded injuries, a tough fight, but Leah has that “fight” in Her, as do I, and we recovered well, in the 2nd MVA case as well. She also has consulted with Me over many various concerns I’ve had. I highly recommend Leah Altaras for all of Your legal concerns.

Leah came highly recommended by another lifesaving attorney I had worked with prior and we began working together over a year ago. These are some of the highlights you can expect working with her: 1) She jumps right in. While many attorneys want all this pomp and circumstance before actually getting started, Leah provided immediate value prior to my check even clearing. 2) She's highly creative. In law, everything is about strategy and Leah is so creatively strategic, the other party will never see it coming. 3) She makes herself available. While many attorneys have office staff and paralegals doing much of the work, Leah is a highly experienced attorney willing to actually answer her phone and texts. 4) She's flexible. There were times where things would change on a dime or my funds would dry up, yet I never ever felt abandoned by her. Even when I had to take my case on myself for a while, she still operated as my secret weapon and willingly taught me the ropes so I could continue to win. 5) She's thorough. Leah doesn't just simply answer the questions...she provides background, context, additional considerations, knowledge on who I'm up against, etc. 6) She's real and has actual empathy. Never once did I feel like just a client or "job." Leah's been through the trenches and sees things from her client's POV with genuine care. It's very hard to find a "real" person these days...she's just that. 7) She's NOT a pushover. Leah doesn't just take the easy path to "get things over with." She's a fighter in the most strategic way and never once suggested I just settle on my demands. Other attorneys I've worked with cared more about making backdoor deals or compromises...not Leah! 8) She's highly respected in the courtroom. Leah runs the show and knows exactly what to say to maintain the upmost respect in front of the court. This is critical to have in an attorney!! 9) She's an incredible person. Even outside of the law, Leah lives an authentic, family-oriented, and down-to-earth life. Her gift seems to be having a work-life balance in a way I've never seen before. 10) She's helped me win! I mean...is there really anything more important than this? Not when safety, financial wellbeing, freedom, and our children are on the line! I literally feel that her work has truly saved my life with everything I had at stake. When you need a fierce, competent, hard-working attorney to make you their number 1 for a while, it's truly invaluable to find an attorney like Leah. I know I sound like a broken record with positivity...but that's only because I've had such bad experiences with other attorneys before. So when I find an excellent one, I want to shout it from the rooftops because I truly, wholeheartedly believe in justice...and that's exactly what Leah has helped me achieve. Thank you for the being the real deal, Leah. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Zach has represented me in three different cases now, and each time, his expertise has been invaluable. Before I contacted Zach for the first time, I had hired a larger firm to represent me in a matter. This firm got a settlement check, but never resolved my original problem. I had written off hiring legal representation again after that experience. With my first case with Zach, he worked above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. Even when the other party "lost" recordings and documents we specifically requested in discovery, he didn't back down. We ended up with a settlement that was satisfactory, considering the wrong the other party (a debt collector) had done. The second case involved a vehicle repossession due to loss of full time work. After repossession, the creditor claimed I owed them a $10,000 deficiency balance. I didn't have the income to properly pay an attorney, but Zach worked with me and this case for over a year, and right before jury selection, managed to convince the creditor to settle for $500. I can't say enough good things about Zach. I appreciate his honesty and his willingness to fight for those who don't always have the means or resources to defend themselves. It's hard to find someone you can trust to actually protect *your* interests, not just pursue their own. Like I said, in my previous experience, the firm I went with didn't care about anything except their percentage of the settlement. I know from experience that Zach is about much more than that, and I'm thankful.

I try to tell my story to everyone and I'm glad I have the opportunity to let people know how Zachary Taylor protected me from being fully taken advantage of. I received a summons from a credit company. The one that called me to the point I was afraid of my phone. I googled "summons from credit card company" and Zachary's page was the first to pop up. His page filled me with hope so I called immediately. That was the best decision I have made. This credit card was only a $3500 limit but somehow they wanted to get me for close to $10,000. He used the law and my rights to fight this down. All the way down! In fact we tried too settle and I almost signed a agreement with them but he saw they tried to get me for fees and Zachary didn't like that idea and he sent it back. He knows the law and our rights!

She has gone above and beyond and her attention to detail is immaculate. Her knowledge and understanding of the law shows her years of experience. But the quality I appreciate the most is that Diane has a heart but is not afraid to sink her teeth in and fight to the bitter end! She is definitely someone you want on your team and I truly believe I would most likely not have custody of my children were it not for her. She has helped me keep my family together and I will most definitely continue to use her as my representation in any future cases. She gets results!

He is one of the smartest lawyers I have come across. I have consulted with him on several matters, and in my opinion, he is very direct while giving you his advice. When he takes on something, he does his very best. He has a unique talent of being concise, yet very effective in terms of due diligence and procedure. Very smart.

I consulted with Mr. Bryan for several minutes regarding a friend's issues, and he gave some solid advice, though I couldn't hire him due to the circumstances. He seemed very knowledgeable, and more thorough, in comparison to other lawyers I had consulted regarding the same issue.

Justin Han lawyer and his team are very nice and helpful. They treat their clients as friends and family. He and his team suggested me many ways in my case even though they said they cannot help me. They are very honest. I so hope they can help me out, I would be 100% trust them!! Not like other lawyers who just seek money , They help people with their heart especially Justin Han who contacted with me with his profession , patience and kindness. All of the lawyers should learn from them. We need to have more lawyers as like them. I recommend Justin Han and his team 100%!! Thank you so much!!

I had a chance with Ms. Nguyen on my case. In my opinion, she is a kind person and very professional. She helped me out with my extremely hard case, L1A for approval. She carefully goes thru with me every single required documentation, followed up on my request, and never drops a ball, very professional. This is the kind of attorney everyone would want to be in their corner when you have a legal application need to solve. Highly Recommend!

Going with Friedman and Nemecek changed my life. Going through the scariest thing in my life coming from a person who went to war says a lot.. Ian and Maddy were my lifeline to getting through a legal nightmare. The communication and care that they gave throughout the entire process was exemplary. I cannot fathom another firm caring and understanding as much as they have. The way they help you feel secure about your situation and the hand holding that they give is out of this world. They had such patience with me and my constant communication that I needed to have to feel comfortable going through this. I can’t say enough good things about this firm, and I could honestly write paragraph after paragraph about how amazing Maddy and Ian are.

I was introduced to Michael over three years ago when he took over a large portion of my whistleblower retaliation case against a large municipality. He has held a dual role in dealing with OSHA matters, as well as the Federal case. He has an amazing propensity to filter through an extraordinary amount of material and pick out all that is relevant. At times, I have told others, I speak to him more than I do my wife. He has kept me abreast of all the developments in both cases and, along with his team, has made amazing recommendations which have resulted in very positive outcomes. Michael also takes a personal interest in his clients and realizes the emotional strain this has on a person. There are times he has called just to see how I’m holding up. His concern has been greatly appreciated. Over the years, I’ve come to regard him as a great friend as well as a brilliant attorney. I cannot say enough about the amount of time and energy he has spent to deliver justice to my case. I don’t believe you will find an attorney anywhere with the level of dedication of Michael and his team.

Michael Halberstam carefully listened to me as he put together strong arguments for my unjust termination case. He was amazing at conceptualizing my case. His approach was very professional and very supportive. He showed kindness, empathy and respect during the process. Mr. Halberstam was relentless in pursuing the facts. He is a powerful legal writer. He was an extremely strong advocate every step of the way. It was empowering the way he told my story with the full force of the law behind it, ultimately winning a settlement.

Michael was extremely helpful to me in navigating my severance package when I was terminated from my employment. I was overwhelmed with many feelings over the termination. Michael was instrumental assisting me both professionally and personally. Professionally he clearly explained that I had the right to negotiate with my former employer the severance package they gave me. He also shared with me his personal experience with a similar issue that happened to him. He negotiated all the negative verbiage out of the severance document that would have hindered me in future employment in my profession. he also was successful in extending my severance package for an additional 4 weeks. Being able to talk to someone who had a similar experience was by far the most helpful. Michael helped me get my head on straight and got me going in the right direction in seeking future employment. Thanks Again to a great Lawyer and a great person.

Ronna is a fantastic lawyer. She's a great listener, a strategic and analytical thinker, a proactive and straightforward communicator, and a hard working and dedicated advocate for her client's interests. Not only does she know the law, but if you end up going to trial she knows how to handle herself in a courtroom as well.

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.

  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.

    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.
