I was facing a misdemeanor and another charge from a prior case. Jessie was able to get all of these charges dropped within a matter of 2 months. She did an amazing job negotiating with the DA and helping me out of a mess that was scary as I had no criminal charges in my life prior to this situation. Jessie is also affordable, but works harder than any lawyer I have ever known. Thank you Jessie!

I hired Jessie for an OWI 1st offense. I was petrified, I was never in any trouble with the law. I seen the reviews on Jessie and knew right then she was the attorney I needed. Jessie is very down to earth and always returns calls/messages in a timely manner. I was so happy with Jessie and her experience, she is worth every penny. She got my OWI reduced to reckless, I could not have done it on my own. I would highly recommend Jessie, she is the best.

I was terrified by the serious felony charge I was being accused of. I immediately started searching for a qualified attorney in Eau Claire and hired Jessie Weber. The first time I met with Jessie, she was very easy to talk to about every detail in my case even though some details were embarrassing. She was exceptional with communication and very professional in the courtroom. She defended me with no judgement the entire time and was able to get me a really good outcome where I could keep a clean record with no conviction at all. Being convicted of a felony would have been devastating and life changing to me as a young adult. My future looks completely different now then I initially thought it would. Hiring Jessie was an excellent decision and I’m forever grateful. I wouldn’t even think twice about hiring Jessie for any case!

I worked w/ Dennis Stout as my attorney, though I met w/ Jim first, as his firm came recommended to me by another attorney as "the gold standard" for their services. I could not have been more pleased with the work they did for me, and the results. Dennis and his associates had to follow many paper trails and deal with J&J attorneys that made this particular case a miasma of processes to figure out. I am SO glad I did not make a "class action" choice. Dennis was quite accessible and the lengthy process was always fully explained. It took time but was ultimately worth it. I highly recommend the firm.

I came to the The Maurer Law Firm after a thoroughly unsatisfactory experience at a large, prestigious firm with a senior partner who mishandled my case. After meeting with Ira and other professionals at The Maurer Law Firm, I felt assured my case finally was in excellent hands, and my expectations were surpassed every step of the way. Even though my case was a modest one in terms of its nature, scope, and potential financial settlement, throughout the entire engagement I felt treated as if my case was one of the utmost importance, which instilled trust and confidence and provided peace of mind. Ira Maurer has a distinguished history of achievement. I attribute that not only to his knowledge, experience, competence, and effectiveness, but also to his impeccable integrity and ethics. These are the qualities that make him an exceptional champion for clients. The other professionals in the firm match his qualities, giving clients the best representation they could find anywhere.

Our family has known Ira M. Maurer for many years, and when it came to hire a lawyer to represent me with my dental malpractice suit I knew he was the one that I could count on to handle my case. Ira, not only that he's a well-trained lawyer in different types of injury cases, he's a real gentleman when it comes to dealing with people. He has always been upfront with me and has never given me false hope. He was able to get me a good settlement and I'm very grateful for that. I don't know what else to say about him, except that when you meet him for the first time you will know exactly whom you are dealing with, and I mean that in a good way. I will always recommend Ira.

I was a passenger in a livery vehicle and was t-boned while making a left turn. Watching TV and viewing many lawyer ads, one would think every case was worth 10 million dollars. What I love about Mr. Lamonsoff and his firm is how straight forward they were. They explained the rules and laws around PI cases in NY and set very reasonable expectations based upon my injuries. They communicated with me along the way and always explained the process each step of the way. We recently concluded the case and the expectations they set were accurate and did not leave me disappointed. I would highly recommend.

I purchased a new home in 2019. Less than a year passed when I received a letter from Texas Department of Transportation informing me that a portion of my property was needed for a major road expansion. To make matters worse, my home, my brand new home, would need to be condemned as a result. In stepped Padau Law Firm. After assuring me they could help, they quickly intervened and took immediate action to seek a remedy for my situation. They expertly handled everything from start to finish. They took care of all legalities to include negotiating settlement and damages with TXDOT to communicating with my local City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to obtain a change to easement requirements on my property. As a result, I am able to stay in my home! Padau exceeded all my expectations. Throughout the entire process, anything I didn't understand they explained. They scrutinized, objected and corrected as necessary all of the legal documentation on my behalf. Any stress or anxiety I had was always resolved in a highly professional and courteous manner. There are no words to describe how grateful my family and I are for the Padau Law Firm. I would unequivocally recommend them to anyone who is in need of help.

I hired Jack Hilgeman after an Auto Accident and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Jack is a very matter of fact lawyer who sets realistic expectations and then works ward to exceed them. Because Jack HIlgeman and his paralegal Michelle make an awesome team, both are client driven and focused on results. Unlike the big name law firm who I originally had the displeasure of working with (DGM&S), Jack made sure to keep his promises. Even better, Jack is always available to answer questions via phone or email! I asked a LOT of them and he patiently answered each and every one. Ultimately, my settlement fell right into line with what Jack projected. 5 Stars. I'd recommend Jack Hilgeman to anyone who has been involved in an auto accident and is seeking legal representation.

Stan was the perfect attorney to walk beside me on my journey to find justice. In my case, a therapist took advantage of me in an egregious way, and it was not something that was easy for me to talk about. Stan listened with compassion and understanding, something previous attorneys did not do. He showed me nothing but professionalism and respect, and I always knew I was not walking alone. Having him beside me, I found the strength to do the impossible, and in the end we were successful. It wasn't about winning. It was about standing up for myself and what was right, and together he helped me to do just that. It was a necessary step in my ability to heal and move forward. I cannot recommend him enough.

Today is the first time I have found the courage to publicly speak/ write of the multiple sexual assaults perpetrated against me by my own primary care provider. More importantly I wish to use this platform to publicly extend my lifelong gratitude to Attorney Stanley J. Spero, esquire, for giving me my voice, the courage to hold my doctor accountable and for his role in my one goal - the revocation of my doctor/ abusers medical license and in turn the opportiny to use his medical practice to harm another individual. I say Stan returned my voice to me as the abuse had left me feeling numb, unheard and disbelieved and it was that one moment, in a public forum, he spoke everything my whole being wanted to scream- "provider sexual assault and misconduct are crimes and a betrayal of trust like no other". My twenties are long behind me but so is the shame and fear and living on the fringes of not wanting to be the" one that rocked the boat". My hope is for all those who wish to make that first step, know that Stan will man the helm, guide you to port and drop anchor to safely bring you home. Thank you Stan. I've not forgotten you.

I was extremely fortunate that I had found TELL, a website based help organization that provides support and guidance for victims of therapy abuse. They had given me Stan's name when inquiring about my options to handle the damages I sustained during therapy. Stan, took on my case, and guided me through the process every step of the way. He and his paralegal, Mayra, were always supportive and quick to answer my questions and concerns (of which I had many). Stan truly is an expert in the area of therapy abuse, he knows the system and what to expect! I had told Stan from day one that I would not sign a gag order no matter what the settlement offer. I'm sure there was much back and forth between the lawyers but in the end, Stan came through for me and we settled out of court in 13 months without signing a gag order (other than financial disclosure I am free to talk about my case). I could not ask for more. We also filed a complaint with the Board of psychology and are still waiting for the verdict. What I went through was horrific, but with Stan's help, I hope we have put a stop to another bad therapist from harming innocent victims. Stan and his staff were personal, professional, honest, detail oriented, and sensitive to what I had been through. I highly recommend them if you are in search of a lawyer who can handle therapy exploitation malpractice suits. Lisa

Burt, “B”, or Mr. Padove as he is known in practice, is highly knowledgeable and effective legal counsel. More importantly, he is extremely ethical, very realistic, and does not waste time when he has a chance to act, nor will he waste yours. Throughout the process of a very convoluted divorce (which included my son), Burton has saved me thousands of dollars in legal fees by making sure we do not go to court for long shots (which often I created as emotions run high during divorces). This is the reason why you hire an attorney. I would have made bad choices on emotion without him and his expertise. He could have easily gone to court at least 5 separate times for issues knowing it would be a waste of time and collect thousands of dollars in legal fees, but chose not to (while giving me the option so should I choose to). Burton does not tell you what you want to hear, he tells you what you need to hear, and gives options that are realistic, and then acts with fast, surgical precision. He has advised me counsel in the best manner, even had to create novel motions due to the unique and complexity of my case, and did so effective and efficient, like it was the back of his hand. Like the other title review states, he truly has a heart, and he truly does care! If I did not work in Customer service, I would be surprised that he does not have hundreds of 5 star reviews, but given that I do; satisfied customers often don’t take time to write reviews, they go on with there happy life. The course was not easy, but Burt has given me back my life, stability, and a sense of well being. I thank him from the bottom of my heart, and I hope this review will allow YOU to consider him as your GO TO attorney. He certainly is mine.

I have been a trial attorney for over fifteen years. When I was injured in a car wreck, I looked carefully for an injury attorney who: a) would take away all of the hassle and stress of personally having to deal with claims adjusters and opposing counsel; b) would not only keep me informed on a regular basis of the status of my case, but proactively make sure I was doing all the things I needed to do on time; c) knew Personally Injury law thoroughly -- both substantively and with demonstrated litigation experience -- from the claims stage all the way through courtroom litigation; and, d) MOST IMPORTANTLY, one who was not afraid to seek the best possible outcome in my case aggressively. (I have been around enough attorneys to know that many are either afraid of litigation/trial, or they want to take the first or second counter offer from the other side because it's quick money in the bank.) Elizabeth exceeded my expectations on all four of my requirements. I consider myself to be pretty on the ball with my to-do checklists, but sometimes when I slacked on sending in treatment reports to the firm, for example, she would email me personally reminding me to get a, b, or c done, and would also update me with that status of the case/negotiation so I always understood exactly where things were. In addition, on our second settlement obtained (the UIM claim), Elizabeth was actually confident that she could get the other side to an even better number than she'd already negotiated. It was me who let her know that I trusted that she could, but that just for my peace of mind I wanted to settle at the good enough number she already obtained and move on with my life. She would have kept fighting, though, and with confidence. I know another attorney who also retained her and came away also completely pleased with the communication and with the outcome. 100 % recommendation for Elizabeth Welch!

I worked with Mr. Buitrago on a personal injury case after a car accident, and had an excellent experience. He and his associate were professional and very easy to communicate with. He made the whole process very smooth, and then achieved an outcome that was beyond my expectations and that I was highly satisfied with. I would wholeheartedly recommend him!!!

Reliable. Marcelo was with me every step of the way during a difficult time. Anytime you needed him, he was always there ready to respond and guide. Marcelo was reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. He always made sure to remain objective, never trying to lead with any false promises but instead striving for only the best. I am so grateful to have had him on my team and because of that we were quite successful in the end. I can't thank Marcelo and his office enough for the outstanding work he provided during my case.

Marcelo was an excellent attorney and he was very involved in every aspect of my case. He took his time to respond to all my questions I had along the way. He was never too busy to take a call. He fought very hard to get the best settlement possible for me and I appreciate everything he did. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney.

I had an incident to where i was injured, and did not know much about civil law. Sam guided me every step of the way and fought for me side by side to get the best possible outcome for me. He did not let insurance low ball me, and held out for that best possible income. If i have any other incidents, he is my attorney.

Having recently been through a difficult and expensive divorce, my feeling about legal representation was jaded. Sameer changed everything. His attention to detail was unmatched and his ability to do extraordinary work independently while keeping me informed was different than anything I've ever experienced. In the end, I received more than I ever expected. More importantly, Sameer listened to me and I felt like he was on my side. I can't say enough great things about him and I would recommend him to anyone.

In June of 2020, I was entering a grocery store and slipped in a puddle of water on the floor and broke my ankle. I was on vacation from California and did not know any Attorneys. A friend suggested George MacKoul in Hyannis. George had practiced in California and was very knowledgeable in both California and Massachusetts law. George really helped me with ideas to assist him in preparing my case. One suggestion was keeping a daily diary. The case took 2 years to close. George negotiated a very good settlement. He and his Assistant, Diane, made our long-distance communication and document filing seamless. I would definitely encourage anyone to engage the services of George MacKoul!

I hired George to represent me in a dispute I had with a boat yard. The boatyard failed to properly winterize my boat causing damage to the engines, and the cabin. The boatyards insurance company tried to offer me a small amount of money, but once I had George on the case things changed rapidly. I ended up getting the compensation I was asking for from the insurance company, and they had to dispose of the boat themselves. I can't say enough about George and how he efficiently worked through this dispute for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

Attorney MacKoul was recommended to me from a friend in a very trying Litigation case that did not need to go to court. Attorney MacKoul explained in detail exactly what we were going to do and could have not made me feel any more confident in how we were to proceed with my case. The communication was exactly how it should have been and I felt very comfortable once we discussed the details. I could not be any happier with the end results and feel that I have established a long term relationship. Honesty, integrity, communication, and clear cut decisions are what Attorney MacKoul strives for and that is what I received. A big Thank You for everything!

"I had urgency to solve my immigration problems, and I called different law firms in my city and nearby places. Some lawyers gave me an appointment and then called me to cancel, saying they had no time or availability. I couldn't wait any longer and eventually decided to go to Google to look for immigration lawyers. I found Fintus Immigration Law Group; I saw enough positive comments about them and that they had represented people of different nationalities, Asians and others. There were also many positive comments for lawyer Stefan Akorli. When I contacted them, they gave me a quick response and from that moment, the whole process was easier. I thank the firm for all his support, honesty and integrity and because choosing Fintus Immigration Law Group helped me have a quick, successful immigration case and I especially thank my attorney Stefan Akorli: he is polite, educated, very human and an excellent immigration lawyer. I would hire him again and I am so happy to say that I give 5 stars. To finalize, I just want to say to my attorney, thank you again for helping me and my husband to resolve our case quickly! I was completely dazzled by your communication skills and courage at our interview. We are very proud of you." Thank you Fintus Immigration Law Group and Mr.Stefan Akorli

John Chou has been the best attorney I've had the good fortune to hire. He has a wealth of experience as an attorney and adding to his extensive repertoire are incredible knowledge as a former medical doctor. He has successfully handled my cases in dealing with the insurance companies and patients with incredible results that have been beyond my expectations. In my particular case in dealing with the insurance company, he was meticulous in his research and strategizing. Also, through all the difficult times, he was always there with encouraging words and it was wonderful to have such support from an unfaltering spirit. I really appreciate him not just as an attorney but an extremely kind and moral human being. I feel that with such a high-calibre lawyer like him by my side in my business dealings, I have a peace of mind knowing that I am always proceeding with the correct legal decision and given the best chance to win.

I was lucky enough to have John helped me with a malpractice case against a doctor. He showed 100% patience and persistence in gathering evidences, looking for expert witnesses and making solid, convincing reports. His expertise in both medicine and law was a great advantage which helped enormously during these processes. In fact, he was able to find a published paper, which overthrew the defendant's argument, and forced them to settle. I would definitely recommend John.

I was very privileged to have Adam Starr represent me in a very complex and personal case. It was a sorrowful and emotional time that brought me to Adam. His thorough review of the case was apparent on the very first visit. What sets Adam apart is his compassion and ability to bring the best expert advice to the case. That was my experience with him. It was clear that he not only researched the case but that he consulted additional experts before making recommendations. He kept me up-to-date, providing answers to any questions. I would highly recommend Adam to others seeking a trustworthy, kind, caring attorney. My sincere thanks to Adam.

Mr. Geller accepted my case after others declined to take it on. After I explained my situation (what happened) Mr. Geller pretty much did all the driving from that point forward. He kept miscellaneous costs to a minimum and was very flexible with scheduling. We did most of our communications via email and phone, which was very convenient for me. His office is conveniently located downtown and next to a parking garage with ample parking space so when I had to come in, I had no issues with directions or finding parking (rare for downtown). Mr. Geller kept me informed of my case status from the inception and laid out realistic timelines and expectations for the case. What you see is what you get with Jeremy! I highly recommend!!

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

    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.

    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.

    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.
