I have been working with Roger for over 10 years on a diverse range of legal matters. Not only is he responsive, professional and thorough, he is easy to deal with, and eager to research topics and offer creative solutions to issues. Roger provides a realistic, objective and intelligent perspective in working towards resolution of legal challenges. Roger contacted me when appropriate but also took the initiative to work on cases based on my needs and principles without the stress of being in touch too often. I never hesitate to consult Roger for advise in any legal matter. If it is out of his area of comfort I have no doubt he will increase his knowledge base or connect me to a source of expertise. I recommend his services without exception.

We were very pleased with the service we received from Merlin Law Group. Our attorney, Jonathan Bukowski, and his staff were responsive and timely to our inquiries and worked hard to get us fair treatment from the insurance company. We received the maximum we were allocated to get and would not have been able to do that without their help.

We hired Mr. Jones through a recommendation and I was satisfied with his assistance for my son. It was a residential entry case. Unfortunately the case dragged on for a full year outside of Mr. Jones' control. He submitted all requests in a timely manner and scheduled all hearings to resolve the case as soon as possible. It was my son's first offense. He is very professional and respectful in his explanations to his clients.

A friend found Mr. Kuhn's firm for me when I was having issues with my ex-husband and our parenting plan. Mr. Kuhn listened to what I had to say, understood when I broke down and helped me through this entire process. He worked with me every step of the way, he was kind and diligent throughout the 2+yrs this took to get resolved. He was quick to return my calls or emails and answer any questions or concerns I had. I would recommend Mr. Kuhn's services to anyone.

Mr. Kuhn's service, attention and knowledge far, far exceeded my expectations. He was referred to me for help with my divorce, and made what could have been a horrific process extremely tolerable and as low-stress as possible. He explained everything in extreme detail and made sure I was comfortable with and understood every step in the process. Mr. Kuhn was kind to explain what things could be done ourselves instead of through him in order to save money, and charged an extremely reasonable retainer for all of the time and attention I received. In fact, I received a partial refund once the divorce was final for unused retainer hours -- that truly left an impression on me and spoke to the honesty of his entire team. The divorce process went surprisingly smoothly, and I truly believe it was because of Mr. Kuhn. He helped me understand how to communicate with my spouse in order to make myself and my intentions understood, and made the entire process as genuinely peaceful as something this traumatic could be. I am thankful for his guidance and highly, highly recommend him.

Irwin Kuhn is a talented attorney and mediator. He is a careful listener, and an excellent writer who is able to convey your ruminations, concerns, and suffering into precise legal language that gets the job done. Not only is his writing succinct, but he is an excellent verbal communicator, both in and out of the courtroom. He collaborates well, will always try to mediate, but also knows when to take it to court. Irwin is well-respected, and for a good reason. His affable nature, and easygoing manners might fool you into thinking he’s a softie, but his pen is a sword for justice. He doesn’t mince words. People don’t seek legal recourse unless it is urgent and compelling. When people turn to a family law attorney, they are seeking help from the very core of their being. He has helped me win my my post-divorce matter. Everything that I needed to get done, happened with Irwin Kuhn at the helm. I will always be grateful to him.

Ms. Castrataro’s in-depth knowledge of the intricacies of the law outpaced the opposing counsel at every turn. Working tirelessly for my family since the moment we met, she mounted a carefully orchestrated case and delivered it calmly and effectively. Ms. Castrataro was always accessible to me by phone and email and always had the details of my case at the top of her mind.

Barbara is not only an excellent lawyer, but also a very concerned, responsive, and reliable person. She was the kind of lawyer that I needed and I am glad we chose her. Barbara believed in my case and put a lot of hard work into revising my petition to include many more incidents that I did not even think about adding or knew that I could. She made my case much stronger and never doubted that we could achieve what I wanted, which was my own protection.

Oressa put 100% of her attention into my custody case. During our meetings, she asked questions that showed me that she really reviewed my situation and my updates. Both Oressa and her office personnel called me regularly to see how I was doing. I also received prompt paper documents about our meetings and court document submissions. Oressa asked very satisfactory questions to both me and the defendant during the mediation meetings and the hearing, and she also quickly objected to certain questions from the defendant's lawyer. After the hearing, she explained the Master's findings and discussed my choices with me. I am very happy with her services and definitely will call upon her again for future family matters.

Nelly, Angela the staff at Shulman and Hill are very professional, dedicated. Very sincere concerning. They each walked me thru step by step on what the process will be in detailed. There ongoing efforts that they brought to the tables was definitely way beyond of there call of duties. They fought tooth and nail to get the results they and myself were looking for. The countless hours, The days and nights they endured and the non stop dedication to get the case done was purely magical. Outstanding. There are actually no words to say and describe Nelly and Angela and the staff at Shulman and Hill. Wow im so happy that I have selected and chosed the law firm. I am satisfied with there service.

Sandra is by far the best attorney in York, PA. Unlike most lawyers, her client is her priority. She listens, and explore all the necessary options before proceeding. She’s always prepare and ready to defend her client. I admired her demeanor and her calming influence. Even when I was upset, she always found a way to diffuse the situation. Her goal is to make sure her client gets a fair shot at the system. She’s not the type of lawyer that’s all about the money. She is very reasonable. I would recommend her for any immigration case.

Lauren has been such a god-send for me. She helped me to mitigate a messy mediation situation where I was poised to give everything away by the time she came to my aide. She was very patient with me on hard decisions and helped me to gain back shared custody of my children without going through the process of litigation. If litigation were to have been necessary, she had me prepared to go with another lawyer so I wouldn't lose any time. She didn't miss a beat and my life after divorce is much better now if she had not come in to help me with my case. I would recommend Lauren Bokor!!

I hired Lauren as a collaborative attorney in an effort to settle my divorce without proceeding to litigation. I knew very little about the different processes (e.g., mediation, collaborative, litigation) used to settle divorces and Lauren was extremely helpful in educating me on these topics and teaching me the pros and cons of each approach. This helped me to make educated decisions that I was comfortable with based on our discussions. She also made it clear that she had a genuine interest in the well being of my family and always minimized the business aspect of the relationship. She is an excellent lawyer in this space and I highly recommend her to others that are considering legal representation in divorce proceedings. Very happy with her work on my case!

I first met Lauren about nine years ago when looking for a mediation lawyer to facilitate my divorce process. From the many lawyers I talked to, she was the one that inspired the most trust and confidence, and to this I do not regret the decision of working with her. Those who have been through a divorce know that a divorce is always a messy emotional and financial process. This gets magnified if people do it the "traditional" way with separate lawyers alienating the couple even more, expensive litigation, arguing back-and-forward endlessly, etc. At times this process can take years. But with mediation divorce does not become an adversarial process. It is a process in which both parties communicate in ways that are healthy. Lauren is excellent and very skillful at facilitating this type of communication. What I appreciated the most about working with Lauren was her kind spirit and empathetic presence. While working with her it felt like she must have received training as a counselor at some point in her career due to her excellent listening skills. It made the divorce process go smoothly, and it was significantly cheaper than a traditional divorce. I am grateful for the support Lauren provided during a rather difficult time in my life. I highly recommend her professional services.

Suzanne and her team were wonderful. If you need an attorney you need to contact her. The response to my questions or concerns were always quick. Since I've never gone through something like this before it's exactly what I needed. I didn't want to sit and wait for answers. There was so much to deal with Suzanne and her team were on top of everything. She would let me know if she was going to be out of town but that didn't slow down her replying to my emails. Just outstanding service and respect from the entire staff. She was also a calming influence when the other attorney was slow to move things forward. She could tell I was getting anxious. Suzanne explained what was going on and politely reached out to the other attorney to move the process forward. I always felt like they cared about me and wanted to make this a less stressful process and they did.

Suzanne and her firm quickly become like family. They do their best to keep fees down (she's not a magician, and it can be expensive, but that depends on how the opposing team acts and how much work you're willing to do on your own, how organized you are-and how well you LISTEN). She'll be upfront and honest about what can happen, even if it's not what you want to hear. She won't promise something if she's not certain she can deliver. She and her firm are some of the few attorneys in the Memphis area who understand what to expect and what to do in a domestic violence situation. My case was both contentious and complicated (involving 2 states), but she took charge after being hired mid-case and worked at warp speed (as far as courts are concerned). I never once set foot in a court room until the final hearing where my divorce was granted. I still consult with her and her associate as things come up, as I still have a little guy to protect. Landers Firm is the ONLY family law firm in Memphis that I would personally recommend. My only regret was that I didn't find her until after I had already filed.

I am still at the beginning of my case but everything is happening pretty fast. The case manager was able to meet with me the day after I called. We met for about 3 hours so that she could get every last detail of my case and explain to me exactly what they could do for me. The day after we met, she was already making attempts to contact the opposing party to let them know that action is being taken. For some people, this may not seem like much. But she has done more for me in the past few days than my previous attorney did for me in a couple of months. J. Robert Davis Jr. also took the time to meet with me when he was about to start a meeting with another client. I highly recommend working with this attorney.

I figured I'd try one more before giving up. That's when I called J. Robert Davis. He personally told me "I can help you!"

Mr. Davis was hired by my Louisiana counsel to represent me in my personal injury case that was to be tried in Texas. Mr. Davis exhibited profound knowledge and ability in not only representing me but hiring competent experts to bolster our case. Setting next to Mr. Davis during mediation was so enjoyable that i was comfortable enough to play solitaire as he handled the negotiations. The same ability was displayed during the deposition phase as he and his ability exposed not only the weaknesses of the defendant but also the blatant and outrageous claims being bebunked one by one in a consistent and methodical approach. His staff was very courteous and polite and i enjoyed my interactions with them and a special thanks to Greta for keeping me in the loop and updated.

I don't really want to go into specifics of my case (tl;dr it was sticky, delicate, and messy), and instead would like to focus my review on my experience with Queenie, who I hired to represent me. I'll start with results. Queenie was able to advocate for me, and I ended up with an agreement that provided me better protections. She was able to secure more for me than what I thought was possible. This is significant, especially because in these scenarios we don't always know what we can ask for. It's great to have someone in your corner who does, and will do the work to secure that for you. The second thing I want to emphasize is how Queenie did this. She is experienced and knowledgeable, there is no doubt about that. But she also sought an environment that would give me the most leverage, using a wide range of tools and tactics. Queenie threw herself into this and was an aggressive advocate when she needed to be, and a measured advocate when it would be most beneficial to me. That was my experience with her. She also affirmed my role as the client and in the end gave me room to advocate for myself in a manner I could not before. I hope to not be in this situation again, but if I do, and for the many of us who end up here, you want someone like Queenie in your corner.

Alan is a sophisticated professional. Wow, did I say wow?!!!! He will tell you up front EXACTLY what will happen with your case. Also known as the truth, which (by the way you probably already know.) My advise is to just let him do his job -that he is more than capable of doing. Don't ask too many questions or get yourself worked up. Alan will tell you in advance almost the exact outcome of your case to a t. In the end you can feel good about him as a human being because he won't resort to less than favorable behaviour. And by that I mean other attorneys who have to use immature tactics to make up for what they lack as men. Although it is quite entertaining to watch some of them!!! Especially JIM WARREN!!!

Carolyn P.:Professional Stylist Recently I went through a divorce. I consulted with an attorney that Nancy recommended who was very helpful, but Nancy who was with me at my appointments with him was even more helpful. He was advocating all sorts of things that would cost a lot of money and drag out what seemed so simple since my ex and I had worked out most of the details. Nancy then suggested to me that I ask for a lump sum from my ex to finalize everything and compensate for the unresolved issues that we had. Her suggestion worked and we finalized everything without the need for further attorneys fees (other than the cost of a mediator to draw up the Settlement Agreement.) More importantly, Nancy comforted me through the process and was a true advocate for me at a very difficult and scary time in my life. She was my guiding light and gave me hope in life again.

Nancy Shokohi represented my family and our legal matter (i.e., foreclosure)with the best outcome we could have wanted. If you are looking for an attorney that listens to their client, has constant communication with their client, involves you in the entire process then Mrs. Nancy Shokohi is right for you. She was very responsive with all types of communication whether that was an email, phone call or text our needs were put first. Nancy Shokohi was always open to hear out our ideas, and our opinions were valued. When there were any doubts she was always able to reassure us. Nancy, would always explain the process and would answer any questions we may have had. She fought hard for us and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome. I could not have asked for a better attorney to assist us in this very stressful anxious situation.

I have worked with over 20 lawyers in my life time and I would rate David the best of the best. There is no question that on all levels experience, competence, professional, fairness in recommended resolve. He is very unique having the ability in sincerely working toward settlement and avoiding prolonged litigation. He does the right thing in fairness to all involved. I have seen the passive side and I have seen the strong firm side of David. He can get tough when he needs to but avoids that arena until last resort. He is the fairest lawyer I have ever worked with including billing the client. I have never felt he billed me unfairly,something I cannot say about other council I have worked with. They say whats in your heart eventually comes to your face. David shows it upon your first meeting with him. Any one will be very satisfied with David. i strongly recommend him.

I hired David Marks to represent me in a case brought against me by a property developer who owned an empty lot next door to me and who summarily sued me for a matter that should have been dealt with via a gentleman's agreement, but which ended up costing me thousands. Regardless, Mr Marks helped resolve the case, in the process dealing with the other side's aggressive and irrational attorney. Mr Marks knew that as the "little guy" I needed to keep costs low, and was very reasonable and considerate in this regard. I would have no hesitation in contacting him again should the need arise - which I hope it never does, but one never knows.

I am very impressed with the level of knowledge, detail and personal service I received from Marina Vinsky. She made the process painless and asked all of the questions that I did not even think of. She made great recommendations and really explained all of the options until I was comfortable and understood the result of my choices. She also let me know when to contact her in the future and what else I needed to do so the trust would be complete. I appreciate her knowledge of everything required in this area. She loves it and it shows.

My partner and I found Marina through our employer's EAP program. Marina worked with us to produce a Living Trust, and she made the experience a very easy and enjoyable one. Most importantly, she was very sensitive to our needs and ended up serving as a true coach for me. She guided me through some of the difficult decisions that had to be made and did so with a high degree of empathy and professionalism. What began as the fulfillment of a goal to secure my financial matters has morphed into a solid and ongoing relationship. I now proudly say 'my attorney.' I have had others in the past, but Marina is now my 'go to' person. We will be working on a pre-adoption process next, and I have every confidence that Marina will provide the same level of excellent service.

We highly recommend using Darrell Damschen as he fought, and won, a dispute for us over improperly installed siding on our home. We tried to resolve the issue ourselves without any results and when Darrell became involved he swiftly took action and organized the lawsuit. He was prompt, professional and courteous. We would definitely use his services again.

My wife and I hired Mr. Damschen to defend us against a complicated lawsuit filed against us by a reckless and negligent hardwood flooring contractor. Mr. Damschen initially provided us with free phone consultations and then we hired him to represent us. Mr. Damschen is personable, cordial and easy to speak with as he does well to translate legal jargon into common English. He was always well prepared and did considerable research to stay on top of the case. He was successful in getting a number of claims against us withdrawn or dismissed and ultimately put us in a good situation to address the true matter at hand which was complicated by the contractor's frivolous claims. In the end Mr. Damschen was able to get us in a position to make a very reasonable settlement offer to avoid further legal costs. We would highly recommend Mr. Damschen to anyone who is dealing with a construction defect or a contract dispute.

Darrell did an exceptional job of determining all that would be required and making contacts with all necessary players. He kept several of our people in the loop not just me. He guided the proper funds resources needed for the bidding process. He acted as our representative in the bidding process at the county office. He made sure all of the necessary paperwork was filed with the county. He checked to be sure that the transaction became finalized after the necessary waiting period. He secured the information needed to gain access to the property after the transaction was final. Everything that Darrell did was outstanding and clear and with the necessary detail. He made all of the required decisions that could have been a source of unnecessary work for us as client. I highly recommend Darrell to anyone seeking legal guidance. He will be upfront about what it will take to accomplish the task and move forward with confidence and great capability once hired.

Everything went very smoothly. I also always felt David "had my back" and anticipated any problems that might have occurred.

My wife and I retained David as our attorney for a real estate transaction (our first home purchase). We are completely satisfied with David's work. David was entirely professional, very personable, and kept us updated throughout the process, which we knew virtually nothing about. We could not have expected a better attorney to represent us. We contacted David at the recommendation of our real estate agent. After speaking with David, we did not even bother to contact other attorneys. As we moved through the process, David kept us updated on what was happening and what was coming up, even through slow periods. He provided good insight into how the lending and closing process would go. We are from out of town, so when we finally met David on closing day, we were completely comfortable with him. He did a great job on closing day. He was very clear explaining the purpose of each document we signed during closing and how the rest of the closing would go.

Ms. Patterson is a true professional lawyer. I have used her services at least three times in the past 8 years. She was always pleasant to discuss my cases by walking me through the legal process and discussing my options. She always made herself available to sit down and go over the issues step by step and update me on a regular basis on the status of my cases. What I appreciate the most is that I always felt being protected when she is handling my cases. She really fights to get the issues settled to my best interest. In all three cases the issues were settled in my favor. Two of those were contract disputes and the third was a real state transaction worth $80,000. I saw her in real action through mediation sessions and let me tell you....she was a real aggressive lawyer fighting to the end for an acceptable resolution to my case. Her fees were extremely reasonable and she will always be my first choice to go to lawyer.

I retained Kevin as my lawyer for a divorce with 2 children, property, and a military pension. Kevin was excellent. My ex-wife hired a more expensive lawyer, but Kevin took care of everything. He is meticulous, and knows the law. For example, the other attorney had his paralegals type up the income and expense statements. In my case, Kevin sat down with me and personally reviewed my expenses and assets and filled out the form. Therefore, when the other attorney sent over the paperwork, he was able to find numerous errors in their computations. H was able to get me the best result for my situation. I am very happy with the result. He is level headed and always had my best interest at heart. I highly recommend Kevin. You can trust him and he will be truthful and honest with you.

Kevin was an awesome and great attorney. Time was never wasted when prepping and reviewing for my case. Mr. Adaniyas game plan, approach and strategy to my case got me everything that I wanted. Time with my son that cant be replaced. The apposing lawyer tried to pull a few fast ones on us but Mr. Adaniya always has his A game on and didn't let him get away with anything. Mr. Adaniya made sure I had copies of everything and stamped copies of any paper work he had filed or that got filed in court. Hiring him was the best money I ever spent in my life and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Thanks to Mr. Adaniya I have a beautiful and growing relationship with my son and that to me is priceless. Thank you Mr. Adaniya for all your hard work, time and effort put forward in my case I will always be grateful for everything you have done for me and now my FAMILY.

He actually sent me a refund after the case was finished, which I was surprised because honestly I felt like he was worth the whole amount!

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:

  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.

    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.

    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.

  • 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.

      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.

    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
