Recently, I had to deal with a vendor that was very delinquent on payment and I consulted Jared to help with the matter. After gathering all of the information he needed, Jared presented me with several options of recourse and talked through each option to help me arrive at the best solution. After taking action, my company received the payment in full and Jared was very communicative with me about the entire process. Since then, I have been able to consult Jared regarding contracts, planning, and overall legal advice regarding business. I would highly recommend.

Colleen was absolutely fantastic! I am a wedding photographer that needed my contracts revised to the point where I thought I should start from scratch. She looked over my old contract and then build me a new contract. She knew exactly what I wanted and the first rough draft of the new contract she had sent me needed very minimal change. She was very precise with exactly what she was doing and she met all of her promises with delivery. From the time that we started the contract until the delivery she kept in touch with me and told me exactly what was going on and when I can expect the finalized materials. I highly recommend Colleen's services no matter what industry you are in. She's friendly, responsive and very professional.

I've been an inventor from the UK over 25 years and been successful in obtaining 7 UK patents. In the past l've used a UK patent agent to apply for an US utility patent on my behalf throgh an American Attorney but l wasn't successful. This time l decided to cut out the middle man and find a American attorney to assist me firstly with a US design patent application. I went on the internet and was impressed with jack Abid and the company website. I have great faith and trust in Jack and his company and didn't hesitate to apply for a US utility patent after being successful with my design patent application. I wasn't worried about sending thousands of us dollars because you can rest assured your money and skills are in safe hands. Jack. Is a very knowledgeable patent Attorney and your application is in safe hands. He has been very honest with me and saved me thousands of us dollars.

I contacted Mr. Steinacker several times, both through a text question-and-answer system and in phone consultations. My questions were about Estate law, Trust law, Real Estate law, and Personal Injury law. He impressed me as competent in each of these areas. His answers were consistently thorough, direct, well thought out, and helpful. He explained the topics and issues clearly and in plain English. In our Q and A messages, when the answer depended on information that my question didn't supply, he outlined the major alternatives; and described what additional information he would need to give a more specific answer. In our phone consultations he used the time efficiently -- with little or no digression or redundancy, at a quick pace but without rushing. His manner was collaborative and respectful. I would definitely take advantage of Mr. Steinacker's services again, in any of his legal practice areas.

I found Brian Hall online when our company in Chicago was a victim of cybersquatting by a party outside of the United States. We could not have made a better choice. We were concerned that because this was in international issue, we would have no recourse. In addition to being an expert in this area of law, Brian was fast, efficient and laser-focused. Within days, the problem was resolved to our benefit and complete satisfaction. Brian did not stop there. He asked if our logos and trademarks were up-to-date. They were not. Some of our trademarks had lapsed; others were never registered. He was instrumental in ensuring that all our logos and trademarks were properly registered in the U.S. and in Mexico. This was absolutely critical to securing our brand names. Finally, Brian suggested that we have a signed agreement with our network of distributors, and he provided us with an excellent distributor agreement that clearly defines the responsibilities of both parties. I highly recommend working with Brian Hall. He not only took care of our immediate domain name problem, he focused our attention on other aspects of securing our rights to our brand and positioned our company for the future.

Mark Mansfield helped me out so much and I can’t thank him enough. I was at one of the lowest points of my life. I had to leave my husband of 16 years. He was drinking so much, he had drank for a long time but by that time he was up to two of those huge bottles of whiskey a day, the economy size. I kept having to call the ambulance on him, when he would fall and not be able to get up. Then he started taking so many ambien with his drinking, when I left and took our 6 year old daughter, I never went back. I had had enough. I took my minivan, the cat, our clothes and went to my best friends, she took us in. My husband would no longer work or hold a job, he was having his liquor delivered into the house, and he was living off his mom’s social security and retirement fund. I got a bonus at work and went to his office and he helped me file for divorce. He was so kind in helping me, like he really understood what I was going through. There were a lot of different things to file for my daughter, he totally helped me to file the proper paperwork. He helped me learn how to use Dropbox, I had so much video proof of his drinking. It was hard to have to share custody of my daughter with him but the courts said that since he lived with his mother she could be the guardian, I hated it. In the middle of everything Covid struck and all the courts closed. So when court finally happened we had to do it in his conference room over zoom. He made it in my custody papers that we had to meet at a police station to exchange our daughter, guess what? My husband never showed one time to pick her up. When I found out my husband was on drugs I told him and he knew exactly what to do, he made me call CPS and tell them. So they had to do an investigation and it really helped my case. My whole goal was to keep my daughter safe. Mark did so much to help me. It takes time but in the long run it’s better, you think this divorce is never going to happen. Mine never did happen, my husband died exactly one year from when I left him, he drank so much he got pancreintitis and he died. There were a lot of other things I could go on and on about that he did for me and my little girl. But basically he had my back and did everything to keep her safe. He was always kind, informative, very understanding…but most importantly, he knew the law and how to help me. I’m thankful now that the divorce never happened, if I ever get into a jam and lose my job I am able to collect spousal benefits from social security, that sure comes in handy when your a single mom trying to raise a daughter. I couldn’t say more about him, just know he’s on your side and will get the job done, He always has your best interest at heart. ❤️

I am writing this review in lieu of my positive experience in retaining Attorney Phillip B. Rose. I have a most recent Unlawful Detainer Case as a Home Owner that was scheduled for Trial. I made all efforts necessary in searching for an eviction attorney who could take on my case. Among the long list of attorneys and after so many phone calls I found Atty. Phillip Rose through his interaction on legal issues panel on AVVO. I checked his company website to find out more information on what he can do for his clients. His LinkedIn profile also exhibits outstanding Curriculum Vitae and therefore I have every confidence in hiring him as my attorney. He has proven expertise in eviction defense and has gained successful Trials in a variety of high-profile cases. Unlike many other attorney offices where it is hard to get hold of the attorney himself, Mr. Phillip Rose was actually the one who answered my phone call on a late Friday afternoon. He took the time in listening as I explained my case in details. He is not like other attorneys who would immediately say “Sorry, I can’t help you”. In a world we live in where kindness, humility, and virtue are often taken for granted it is hard to find one like Atty. Phillip Rose who is willing to go an extra mile in helping out a client. As I journey through life’s challenges I have learned from this latin word SINE ARS SCIENTIA NIHIL EST meaning “Knowledge without humanism is nothing”. Atty. Phillip Rose has shown that he has a good heart and a compassionate nature for his client. Even when I told him that my finances are limited he showed eagerness to help without hesitation. Among numerous positive attributes of Atty. Phillip Rose he is also very comfortable to work with. He is confident, dependable, resourceful, and possess great professionalism in developing factual information and in presenting my case to Court. Besides providing expedite client service while having a sound judgment he always responds in a timely manner. Through Atty. Phillip Rose’s successful negotiation with the Plaintiff my case did not have to go to Trial and thereby giving me a more favorable outcome. He always looks out for his client’s best interest. I am pleased and very satisfied in retaining Atty. Phillip B. Rose and therefore I highly recommend him and his law firm PBR Legal.

What's interesting is, I was using an IP attorney that was recommended later to find out that they were more about making money than providing a sound service. However, I was trying to find out some information regarding trademark abandonment. Through my search, I stumbled onto an article that explained abandonment thoroughly which after reading I then wanted to find out who wrote it. Once I found the source I then googled Michael to find out that he also wrote some other interesting articles in regards to Trademarking/Branding. After I read more of his articles showed me that he was very knowledgeable about IP law and that he didn't mind sharing information. I realized that he could be a great candidate for representing my business for trademarking. I had some other attorneys lined up to converse with about Trademarking, however once I called Michael and we spoke I knew that I had found the right attorney. On top of being patient and a good listener, he had very good communication skills. Michael and his team are hardworking and very responsive and must say that I'm happy that I found him to represent me. I also highly recommend him to others seeking an IP attorney.

Working with Ethan was an absolute pleasure. He helped me file my trademark application very very quickly and explained everything throughout the process. He let me know exactly what to expect going forward in a way that was informative but not unnecessarily or overly technical. His combination of legal expertise and personality is a winning combination and I would work with him again on this type of project or any other legal matters without question.

Ethan was extraordinary to work with. Not only is he so knowledgeable of the law in this area, he kept us updated throughout the entire process. In the beginning, he did a great job of educating us on the law and procedure and put it all in terms we can easily understand. I would absolutely hire him again and have already recommended him to everyone I know who was in need of trademark work.

I have worked with Ethan on a variety of different projects so far and he is always excellent. He is extremely professional, yet down to earth, and always provides detailed information / advice in an easy to understand manner. Most prominently, he is on the leading edge of social media related issues. I have consulted with him on a few occasions with regards to intellectual property specifically related to internet and social media usage. He has provided excellent, up to date information on how existing laws would translate within these new arenas. Overall I am extremely satisfied and would recommend Ethan without reservation.

Kerry is worth seeing to make sure you start your business on the right foot OR make sure your current business is fine legally!. She is great, she doesn't talk down to me and uses language I understand. Both my husband and myself have used her for years!

I've had the pleasure of working with Anastasios for several months now, and what I like best about him is that he watches out for my business and me like he's my own brother--oftentimes emailing me after business hours to keep me up to speed on things that can impact my business. As a small business owner, I don't have the time or the experience to properly protect my business. He constantly keeps a vigilant eye on things that can cause me problems and goes above and beyond to help me keep my business on track. I will definitely be recommending Anastasios to any small business owner.

Taso helped me in establishing employee contracts by spending considerable amount of time with me on the front-end (without charging me for the excessive time). He was thorough, precise and friendly throughout the entire process. I highly recommend using Taso for any professional service and plan on using him again in the very near future to file a trademark and patent for my company.

I would highly recommend Tonya Shy and the TS Law Firm to my family and friends. They work hard to give each client high-quality legal services and the personal attention they deserve. Attorney Shy was very honest from the beginning of my case. She and her staff always kept me in the loop of everything throughout my case. She showed me that there are still great attorneys out here that have your best interest. I’m so thankful to God that he directed me to her.

My name is Antonio Rogers and it is a honor to write this review for Attorney Tonya Shy who represented me. I'm from Louisiana and while visiting family I was involved in a auto accident where I was rear ended by another motorist and I was injured. I did my research on attorneys in Atlanta and after reading the positive reviews I selected Attorney Shy to handle my case. Throughout the entire process Attorney Shy and her team kept me well informed. Being a former claims adjuster and retired law-enforcement office I knew that attorney Shy was very knowledgeable and the right attorney to represent me. She was at all time very patient but diligent regarding my auto accident case. Attorney Shy and her team made me feel like family and she settled my claim and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Shy to anyone that needs representation because she is simply the best. Thank You Attorney Shy for all you do.

I could not have ask for a better more caring and compassionate attorney or staff who fought for me. Attorney Shy is the physical embodiment of what I call a “Courageously Gifted “ Attorney at Law. And to make matters even better she got me more then I expected in my case. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. Thank You TS-Law!!!

I told this to Hank and I'll tell this to you. Hank is a great lawyer. He's extremely intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, and a good listener. In addition, you can tell that he walks through all the angles of a lawsuit meticulously in his head. It’s good that he’s an extremely level-headed person. Hank represented me in a suit that lasted roughly a year. Going through a legal battle, you're going to exchange tons of messages with your lawyer. Hank was not only communicative and responded to my messages quickly, but was always receptive to what I had to say. In addition, he has a way of simplifying technical lawyer speak, and often has great analogies that provide you more meaning and context to complex situations. Going through a lawsuit can also be very stressful, but Hank is very relatable and does a good job of making you feel prepared and at relative ease. He's a quality lawyer, and comes highly recommended.

Hank Burgoyne turned one of the most stressful experiences of my life into a positive outcome. Hank was very thoughtful in how he clarified my goals, and brought an extremely high quality array of expertise to bear to achieve them. He was efficient, systematic and willing to fit around my timelines. He was also sensitive to my budget thresholds. I really appreciated how Hank turned what felt like a mountain into a manageable series of molehills. He was very personable and cut through the usual “lawyer talk” to get to the real issues. I felt like my view was respected and that I could trust his recommendations. I can’t recommend him highly enough

  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?

  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.

    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.
