The office is very nice and the attorney that I spoke with made time for me even though I came in close to the time they closed. I've known most of the staff there for a long time and they are always very polite and punctual.

Paceline Law was recommended to me by the highly-rated Bay Area Bicycle Law firm—and contacting them was the best choice. An avid cyclist himself, Kyle took the time to understand the bike accident I was involved in and provided suggestions on next legal steps. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with the provided service and thank Kyle for being an advocate for the local bike community.

Kyle handled my case where I was hit by a car and was seriously injured. I broke my C1 vertebrae and was in a halo vest for months. Kyle helped me and my family through the ordeal of getting fairly compensated for all the things that go along with this kind of life threatening injury. My settlement was much more than I expected and Kyle fought very hard with the other party's law firm to make sure that I was made whole. I trust Kyle and I would and still do seek Kyle's advice and assistance with legal matter, even beyond bicycle law. He gets my highest recommendation!

I was in my first ever bike accident with a vehicle in Alameda, and suffered injuries as well as damage to my bike. I spoke with several people seeking a bike injury lawyer, and Kyle at Paceline Law came highly recommended. Kyle beyond fantastic - he calmly walk me through the legal options in terms I could understand, which was crucial someone like me going through an accident for the first time. And importantly, he also secured a settlement for me. His counsel inspired confidence with me as a client, but he also connected as biker because it was evident he deeply cared for bikers and their legal rights. I would whole heartedly recommend Kyle and Paceline law for any Bay Area bike accident needs!

Recently had a custody and child support battle with the mother of my nine year old daughter. As biased as Minnesota Courts are against fathers, I went into this battle very discouraged already. Derk Schweiger was amazing in court, and I felt that because of his professional demeanor, articulateness, and sheer brilliance in court, the judge was able to see where I was coming from, and my life situation, my desire to better myself as a man, and my desire to be a father. The judgment was more than fair, and I was very happy that I chose Derk to be my lawyer. I have referred him to several people, and if need be, I will definitely call upon him again. He was professional, organized, clever, and not as expensive as other lawyers in the metro area. Thanks again! -Ryan Wagner

I was referred to Khader Law to assist me with closing on my home. He made me feel comfortable from the moment I stepped into his office. Purchasing a home was very intimidating. However, Mike walked me through the whole process and was very straightforward. He took his time to make sure I understood all the documents. I highly recommend using their service.

Spenser is the best! My son's dad had spent years manipulating him into wanting to go live with him. Every time we talked on the phone or emailed, she made me feel more confident about the situation and assured me that I was doing the right thing by fighting to keep him. She and Estina were always quick to respond to a phone call or email. Anything I needed, they had my back.

My employer was requiring a DEI training that compelled myself and others to answer questions with their answers, or you could not complete the training. When we let our employer know that we couldn’t answer the questions because it would not be consistent with our religious beliefs and values, they told us we would be terminated. This is when I contacted Mr. McRary. Ian was unbelievably quick to respond, very knowledgeable on the matter, and genuinely cared about not just helping with the matter, but also making sure my family was informed and would be able to withstand the process. Ian guided me through trying to work out an accommodation without having to take it to the next level, which would have taken a toll on my family’s finances and wellbeing. In the end (it took us about two weeks) my employer did accommodate and we did not have to answer questions unless they were consistent with our religious beliefs and values. I cannot thank him enough and HIGHLY recommend!!!

Ian has worked with our small business for years now. He is always easily reachable and quick to communicate. Running a small business is hard enough but knowing we have him on our side with all legal questions really eases our minds. If you're looking for an honest lawyer who will steer you in the right direction, he is the best.

Thinking I might lose my house, I cold called Reinherz Law Offices. Dave listened to my story, answered all of my questions, reviewed my paperwork, and spoke to me in plain terms all the while being very honest and straightforward. We spoke multiple times on a Friday afternoon and he put my mind at ease. Never once did he sell me on services I didn’t need. Dave was awesome and I would recommend him to anyone!

Shea was super knowledgeable, answering all my questions in detail. I have a complicated case which seemed very confusing to me but he laid it all out on my next steps. Unfortunately, the business I have to conduct is in a different state than where he practices so he gave me the name of an attorney that can further address my issues. I will definitely hire him for any thing that I need in Oregon and Washington!!

Attorney Chiple is very good at what she does. She is very honest and VERY COMPASSIONATE about my custody case. I am Forever grateful for having you as my attorney. Attorney Hoskins and you are what lawyers SHOULD LOOK UP TOO. Lawyers like you guys are so true about your core values as lawyers. What I meant to say is "you both DO what you SAY" not say what you do.

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.
