Don was a great deal of help with a very difficult situation . He was able to resolve a number of issues for me with a minimum amount of fuss . Unlike other attorneys I've hired in the past , he was more interested in solving the problem than in dragging things out in order to bill more hours . The advice that he gave me was well thought out and very effective . I highly recommend Mr . Yates and would not hesitate to hire him again .

I was a client of Mr. Weicholz in 2016. I am a domestic violence survivor and Todd made all the difference. He was always in communication with me regarding my case and any fees were clearly explained in advance. He sat with me as I cried and comforted me with honest and helpful legal advice. After being revictimized by the state and opposing attorney, Todd made it clear he would be there to represent me and my best interests only, which I felt no one else was doing. I am so grateful to both Todd and his staff for their respect and commitment to me personally and my family as well. I would never had received the positive resolution of my very emotional and difficult case without Mr. Weicholz and his advice. I would highly recommend him to all looking for a great attorney.

It was unfortunate that I need Mrs. Overmann services but she did a amazing job handling my divorce. She is organized, level headed and cuts thru the BS. At the beginning I was unsure because of all the emotion of just going thru the divorce but looking back I made the right decision by hiring her. And I have interviewed 8 or 9 senior level attorneys with 20 years experience.. They would not be any different from the service and knowledge you would get from Mrs. Overmann.

I had a run in with the Eagan police over my temporary tags. Mr. Carlson was recommended to me by my boss because his sons had been in trouble. I was looking at a Grand Misdemeanor which would have been a problem in future employment. Jim worked with the prosecutor and got me a continuance which will disappear off my record in a year. Jim was highly responsive and aggressively pursued a fair verdict. He is well-connected and liked even by his adversaries. He has common sense and a sense of humor that no doubt helped cut through the rediculuous nature of my case. I would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

I hired Don McNeil to assist my business partner and I on a very sensitive matter involving a lawsuit threatened against us individually and against our company. Don immediately jumped into our case reassuring and educating us on the legal process related to the frivolous allegations made against us. He let us know what we could expect in a situation like ours. Defending against a lawsuit is every business owner's worst nightmare. With Don's exceptional representation, we came out of a very difficult situation completely whole and unscathed. I would highly, strongly recommend Don to any business owner facing a potential lawsuit. He is caring, compassionate and extremely service-oriented.

In fact, because of my belief in Dons abilities, I will continue to engage him long-term for my business needs as well as refer my friends, family and clients to him. He is well educated, extremely intelligent, very experienced - and has a great sense of humor to boot!

Mr. Lodge worked on behalf of our business on two different cases. The first case involved an ongoing dispute we have had with another business. Mr. Lodge first negotiated with the owners of the other business and then set up some mediation sessions. After only two sessions, and some rather complex discussions of possible resolutions, Mr. Lodge put together a comprehensive solution, which essentially ended our years-long dispute. The other case involved a court action that Mr. Lodge filed and argued in court. I was impressed with both the pleadings and the arguing in court. Before a trial, Mr. Lodge reached a settlement which I felt was excellent. I would recommend Mr. Lodge and his assistants to anybody who needs an attorney or mediator.

I have been working with Family Law Attorney, Tali Collins, for 2 years, and she is by far the best attorney that I have worked with for ongoing family law litigation. She is very approachable, knows her legal material, is detail- orientated, has an amazing memory, knows lots of helpful resources and her fees are very reasonable. I have worked with many attorneys who have similar skills, but want you to hire them and are not great with working with the client that wants to self represent. Because I don't have the financial resources for a retainer, Ms. Collins has worked with me in preparing legal documents, preparing for hearings, and organizing and finding exhibits. She knows what individual judges want, so I feel like I am ahead of the game and know what to expect and how to prepare when I go to the hearing. Recently, Tali Collins helped me prepare for my latest Parenting Time Modification Hearing and I feel more prepared than I did when I hired an attorney to represent me at the last one, and it saved me thousands of dollars. Ms. Collins knows all aspects of family law and I don't think I could have worked with anyone who could prepare me as much as she has. I am so grateful that I found Ms. Collins, she has been an immense resource for me and has been so "spot on" with helping me in past hearings and litigation. This has been a great fit for me, and I even look forward to meeting with her. Ms. Collins is so motivating, knowledgeable and understanding, that when I walk away from meetings with her, I feel supported, empowered, recharged and ready to tackle my legal battles.

I have mediated approximately 50 cases with Mr. Cetti over the past 10 years. In those cases, I have represented both Plaintiffs and Defendants, in a wide range of matters - from injury, commercial disputes, to employment law claims. He is in the top 5% of mediators easily. He has always, without exception, come to mediation well prepared, having reviewed the pre-mediation summaries in detail, and often having conducted research into the issues in our cases. I have seen cases settle that I honestly thought were highly unlikely to resolve. He has a very personable "bedside manner" and has always been able to communicate with a wide range of clients from differing socioeconomic backgrounds in a way that works for each. Having taken over 100 jury trials to verdict, participants know he comes to the table with the experience that not all mediators have. Charlie is a first name guy, and enjoys a stellar reputation with the local legal community. I strongly encourage you to consider Mr. Cetti as a mediator for any Florida case that may require his services.

Natalie was always compassionate, understanding my feelings and helped me separate them from the facts and what might be needed. She was the right person for the job and for me personally. I can't say enough good things about her and her staff. I highly recommend her.

Natalie handled my divorce several years ago, but she has also handled several post judgment issues for me over the past few years since my divorce was finalized. My divorce also had domestic violence issues and extensive child custody issues. Natalie was not only very knowledgeable and professional, but she took my case very personally. I don’t think I would have gotten that kind of personal attention from any other lawyer. She really fought hard and passionately (but fair) for me and my young son. She listened to everything that I had to say, and then explained the whole process to me in detail. I never felt lost or alone during the process or ordeal. I would highly recommend Natalie Baird to anyone going through a divorce, custody battle, or any type of domestic violence issue.

I really enjoyed working with David and his lovely receptionist, Sol. After getting laid off, I wanted a more thorough legal understanding of my employer's separation agreement. This was actually my first time consulting any kind of attorney, and it was definitely worth the trip from SF. David was a sharp listener and a straight-shooter throughout the process. He and Sol did an amazing job of following up and making themselves available to me after the consultation. Personally, I was also a fan of his sense of humor. Thanks for helping me get through a difficult time - you guys are amazing!

Yes, grateful is how I felt when my attorneys David Sarnoff and Maria Bourn won my sexual harassment case after battling it out for weeks in court. They got involved in my case two months prior to trial and they were on top of everything from day one. I was impressed by their professionalism, knowledge of my case already, support and trust they made me feel. Right away, I knew I was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Maria Bourn and David Sarnoff to anyone in need of awesome representation. When Maria gave her closing argument, I felt her passion, her energy, as if I was speaking for myself. She was amazing!!

Lynn is competent, thorough and responsive. For me, she is everything we wanted in a lawyer. She provided great advice and counsel on zoning and land development issues and, because of her long experience as a city attorney, she knows who to talk to and the best way to solve issues for a win-win result.

About ten months ago my business partners and I hired Lori to help us get through a VERY tough situation. Lori was spot on. She knew the law better than the opposition and she meticulously paid close attention to the details. She negotiated extremely well and was instrumental in guiding us to an excellent outcome. I have dealt with countless attorneys over the years, and I have found that Lori is among the very best of the best!

As the owner of an 18 year old Internet company, I had the pleasure of working directly with Lori on several employee/HR issues. Lori was responsive, offered very good advice and put forth ideas which we, quite honestly, had never even considered. In addition, Lori was available even on weekends as some of the assistance she was giving our company was time sensitive and extremely confidential. We would definitely re-hire Lori for future legal matters.

One thing I can say about Alex is that during my one hour consultation, she remember everything of the information I gave her. She’s quick to respond to emails and phone calls. My case was easy and quick. I am very thankful I found her information, very grateful I took a chance with her and very pleased with the results. If you need a great lawyer that takes time and dedication to her job to explain all the procedures that will happen to both parties choose her. She’s kind and respectful woman, very professional in her job. Will totally recommend her.

Alex was an awesome attorney for my custody case. She was very realistic on what could be achieved and didn't give me the runaround just to drive up my bill. She gave me the best case scenario, what would most likeley happen, and worst case scenario. She was quick to answer my emails and phone calls and had no problem explaining what was going on with my case. She also took the time to listen to my concerns and frustration.

10 Jun, 2017 by Happy client from out of state
I got a summons to show up to court to get the child support raised as my daughter lived with her mother, BUT in an insane turn of events, thanks to Alex not only did I end up with FULL CUSTODY OF MY DAUGHTER, the mother paid for a great deal of the fees. Yes, you read right, with my hand raised to the lord, if it wasn’t for Alex, I’d be watering dollar bills in the ground right now. I live outside of state and she took on my case on, Alex took care of just about everything, so much so, that at times I’d forget I was going through rough times in my life. On my flight back home from Chicago, as my daughter slept in the seat next to me, I looked at her, and I asked myself in my head, did that just happened, yes, yes it did, and I pictured Alex giving me a thumbs up with her smile. YOU can have this moment too. Alex reminded me of one of those hard hitting movie lawyers as I watched her work her magic in court. It was great to see her transform and turn up the heat in the court room. She was a great listener and suggested realistic, yet outside of the box approaches, most importantly kept transparency with me at all times. Just give her a call and you will immediately hear and feel what I am trying to convey here. If you want to feel protected and in SAFE hands, with a STRONG legal back bone as you walk in the courtroom, HIRE Alex!

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.

    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.

      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.
    • 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:
