Peter was truly a godsend in perhaps one of the darkest hours in my entire professional career. Some time after a corporate merger, I was let go despite being a high-performing executive, with additional compliments of false accusations from the new masters; all in complete violations of my contract. Peter was extremely responsive and supportive from the moment we spoke, and I certainly appreciate his empathy. Ultimately, not only did he successfully negotiated my severance package and the entire ordeal, his support and re-assurance kept me going, and I was able to land a new position soon after. What I initially thought was going to be a long, drawn-out complex legal case involving attorneys in multiple states, Peter resolved it with finesse and efficiency. I couldn't have asked for better representation or negotiator.

Peter was a breath of fresh air when it came to explaining what my rights were and providing insights into how best to deal with an audit request which resulted from the mismanagement of a business by the managing partner. He responds to questions in a thorough and timely manner, and is always thinking about a solution. He's fair, hardworking and tenacious.

Robert Burford is amazing! I had a business issue and my lawyer from most respected law firms in Houston was handling it. This dragged for months and months: tons of aggravation, even sleepless nights, and over $100K in legal bills. A friend recommended to contact Mr. Burford. First he requested to send him all paperwork. After a week, Robert met with me and my partner on the morning before Christmas. His whole office was empty. He asked us what we wanted as the result of his involvement. He found our claim to be very reasonable. After he wrote a letter to the opposing attorneys and had a discussion with them, my partner and I got everything that we wanted. I'm always very thankful to Robert Burford.

Ms Lydia was able to navigate the insurance process to help me get all of my medical bills paid and my car fixed and have more than I expected left for me. She returned all my calls and emails promptly and I never had to wonder about my case status. Hands down she is one of the best most experienced attorneys in the Valley.

She would answer all of my questions and did not rush me off the phone. She also had a solid grasp of the law and made me feel very comfortable. Not only did she guide me through the entire process but she produced a good result as well. Highly recommend her.

Marc has been my attorney for a couple of years now and I can honestly say that he has exhibited the utmost professionalism in every aspect of his representation. Whether he's reviewing a contract or simply advising me on a certain course of action, Marc has continually provided excellent guidance and legal insight. Additionally, my specific needs have required an attorney who understands technology and all of the legal intricacies surrounding software and app development. Marc just doesn't talk-the-talk when it comes to that topic; he also walks-the-walk. He is very knowledgeable about all sorts of cutting edge technology which makes him perfect for helping people (and companies) who are within the tech space. Whether you're needing advice on what type of corporate entity you need to create, or want someone to review an employment contract, or have to setup an agreement related to software, Marc is your man. I highly recommend him. You won't be disappointed.

Raymond Jackson is the best as far as I'm concerned. Even if I have a legal question that is not his expertise, I always consult with Raymond. Raymond represented my business in a case where both the city and county were allies. Nobody thought we could win the case. It was a constitutional law issue in Alabama. The opposition retained a law firm from a large city in Alabama. Raymond won the case at the first level. The case was well developed, it was apparent the judge was impressed. Raymond was an outsider in this case. Subsequent to our case, Raymond got more clients from the area and he continues to represent us.

Attorney NBZ was hired to act on my behalf as a seller in a cash, "As-Is" for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transaction. He drafted a purchase agreement (PA) to meet my specific needs as the seller and ensured that the PA was legally defensible covering all aspects of the binding contract. NBZ navigated me through a difficult breach of contract by one prospective buyer and he was prepared to move forward with whatever legal action might have been required. NBZ shared options pertaining to how to work with the buyer and cautioned me about ramifications of exercising various options, but respectfully left the choice up to me. We moved forward with another prospective buyer and successfully closed the sale. Throughout the process from writing the PA to orchestrating the closing, NBZ provided solid legal advice and readily responded to my queries in a timely fashion. He intuitively sensed my anxiety and responded sensitively and quailed any apprehensions by forthrightly addressing matters with dispatch. NBZ readily wielded his weight as an attorney to represent my needs to all parties involved whether buyer, another legal representative, Title Company, County Court or even the Utilities Company! Through it all, he demonstrated exceptional integrity making sure that my interests were regarded and lawfully entreated. I found NBZ to be a focused and clear communicator who easily translated legalese into understandable terms for me. He was always poised and personable with a consistently discerning and empathetic manner. NBZ is a consummate professional who ably engaged all parties in my real estate transaction with a very successful end result. My experience with NBZ was nothing but positive! I was truly blessed to find and work with Attorney Nathan B. Zion and will recommend him without reservation to family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances for their real estate or contract needs.

He was always there for us. He would return our calls promptly, he always had answers for us and was soo very helpful in explaining the whole process to us in terms that we could understand. During this trying time we never felt alone. At the end of it all we found Martin Koop to be very proffessional and trustworthy and was very sympathetic and empathetic to what we all were going through.

Usman was stupendous, professional, courteous, honest, and cognizant from the start! Given the many variables and complexity involved in forming a business entity, registering a trademark, registering a copyright, registering an EIN, determining whether a terms of usage and privacy policy agreement is required, and reviewing health disclaimers for an eBook, Usman was highly cooperative and responsive making me feel at ease. He answered my comprehensive emails succinctly and thoroughly. He recommended a service called Markify for conducting additional trademark searches outside of USPTO's database. He even went so far in responding very efficiently over the weekend, outside of business hours. That innate gesture is definitely praiseworthy and exceptional given time was not on my side nor was it for Usman. I needed answers quickly, even though I didn't explicitly mention these sentiments to him because that would be too impractical and idiotic. He understood my situation with all the nuances and did everything in my best interests to secure all the legal knots in a timely fashion without any hiccups. When it came to billing, he was cognizant of keeping me abreast of the total hours he spent on specific tasks. Using LawTrades, he took the time out of his hectic schedule to list the estimated project fees including all fixed upfront costs for registering the business and his hourly review rate. His financial transparency gave me a pretty good cost picture of his services with no surprises! Additionally, Usman telephonically walked me through the step-by-step instructions for obtaining an EIN for an LLC. That made the entire process seamless, saving me much valuable time. All and all, I would highly recommend Usman if you're looking for an intellectual property lawyer, creating a legal entity for your business, reasonable legal fees, and state-of-the-art service. Thank you Usman, for all your hard work, patience, and timely responses for consciously completing all my outstanding requests from start to finish!

I am an entrepreneur and have worked with many different attorneys in the process of launching and growing a number of different businesses. As a client of Henry Kates, I have found Henry's council to be extremely useful in shaping our agreements for funding, contracts, support work, talent and more. Henry's value to us has included his business building perspective that extends well beyond legal support. In many ways, Henry has become our go-to source for sound business advice coupled with legal work that enables growth rather than inhibiting it because of adversarial legal posturing. I can enthusiastically recommend Henry for any client seeking to have their legal work contribute strongly to incentivizing business growth.

Bill was the litigator for an ERISA plan , in which the former trustees had breached their fiduciary duties. Bill's performance in this role was outstanding because he was always extremely prepared and immediately responsive during the trial. For example one witness and one defendant testified falsely and Bill immediately referred them to admitted trial documents which proved their testimony was false. The defendant who testified falsely admitted his previous statement was "probably wrong". The judge in Federal Court ultimately ruled in our favor on the main issue in the case. A very important fact upon which he based this ruling was that this defendant's testimony was not true and this led the judge to rule in our favor on this primary issue.

Armen got involved in my case--which seemed very complicated, in the summer of 2015, when our judge started getting a little peculiar and guided the litigation--as well as the senior partner in his firm, through to the default judgment phase. And although there are some interesting technical points over the next six months that must be traveled, the outcome could NOT have been better. It goes without saying that I am NOT the easiest of clients to work with, and the manner in which Armen was able to diffuse my 'all-over-the-place' personality, while still dealing with an absolutely crazy judge to get the outcome we got was absolutely AMAZING and deeply appreciated. I will say that I will rest extremely easier once we are truly done with the judgment being satisfied, BUT to have gotten to this point, with the judgment that Armen obtained is truly one of the greatest things that has ever been done for me, as well as my family.

Lindsay was soooo helpful especially in my situation with this case. I've been in a very low spot in life and Lindsay was there for me whenever I needed her whether it being about the case or talking me through my anxiety with everything thats been going on . Whenever she said something would get done it would get done when she said it would , with if not better results than what was expected . Lindsay was also very empathetic towards my situation and It made me feel a lot comfortable because she made me feel like I can speak to her not just as an attorney but as a friend or more like family . Most people in this world don't give that kind of time and love to people anymore. Let me just say in this field or work , there needs to be more Lindsay's. Lindsay's communication was awesome and that means a lot coming from someone with semi poor social skills, anxiety , and semi poor memory . She was also VERY patient with me as I said I am in a rough spot in life right now , with that being said I would not get back to her as quickly as I should have sometimes but she still got the job done even when I was idle. Lindsay is so nice and made me feel extremely comfortable whilst communicating about the case and if I did not understand certain terms she would break it all down for me in a way I could understand she would even repeat it a few times just so I could really comprehend what's in motion . I'm 23 years old with that being said I don't know too much about a lot at this point in my life and Lindsay made sure to educate me on topics I was completed lost on. Lindsay really shined a lot of light on my situation and I'm very thankful she was put in front of me to be my attorney. I wouldn't have asked for anyone else . Thank you Lindsay , I wish there were more people like you in this world .

Mary Ann represented me in a case against a large corporation, and thanks to her, the case was eventually settled in my favor. When it comes to intellectual property, copyright and trademark, Mary Ann stands as an authority. She's knowledgeable, confident and smart. Mary Ann possesses other strong attributes. She listens well and easily assimilated my case history with all its complexity. She explains things well and always let me know the best and worst case scenarios as we moved forward. What I appreciated most, however, was that I always felt that Mary Ann was truly on my side.

I had known Attorney Mcgrail for a number of years, first as a fellow volunteer at a non-profit organization where I continue to appreciate and value her commitment to a worthy cause. It was in this context that I first divulged information about a stressful situation regarding an incompatible roommate who was attempting to evict me with insufficiently timed, improper notice. Since I had immediate need of legal counsel, and since Ms. Mcgrail is licensed to practice in Maryland as well as Washington, D.C., she offered to help. Her advice was sound and given the fact that she does not specialize in cases of this nature, I was impressed with the versatility of both her knowledge and skills. Even in the most emotionally wrought moments of my dilemma, she was calm, professional, and at the same time, compassionate. Her advice was sound; decisions not to take action were just as effective as the actions she did take. She reviewed letters and forms I submitted and was instrumental in resolving the case without going to court. Telephone calls were returned promptly. One thing that impressed me the most was her response to detailed voicemail. On a day in which my situation changed dramatically over the course of a couple of hours, I called twice, once to ask Mary Ann Mcgrail to place a call on my behalf, and then, later, to request that she not place that call. Because she listened to all her messages before taking action, I was able to avoid a potentially difficult turn of events. I managed to make peace with my roommate until I had sufficient time to find a more suitable, new home. I remain grateful and urge you to consider hiring Ms. Mcgrail.

An honest egg in the bunch. Been with him 20 years. Pain in my ass with certain items. However, I have never lost. He's also helped me make a substantial amount of money through his transactional work and growing my business with good advice. He's shown me how to do business the proper way as I've grown into a business under his care. I can trust him to run my business even when I'm not looking.

I hired attorney Catherine Tang again for another trademark submission. Attorney Tang provides ethical sound judgement, insight and advice on best of course of action which allows me a "solace mind". Because of her and her work, I can trust the process and be at ease no matter how complex or challenging the case. I will always come back to Attorney Tang because the process is always clear, transparent, seamless, and easy and she will always be my go-to for business and intellectual property issues. Thank you, Attorney Catherine Tang.

I hired Catherine Tang to respond to an action letter from the USPTO for my business. Catherine was fast, responsive and was quite fair with pricing. She’s one of the most ethical attorneys I have ever worked with. She did the work in far less time than all of the other attorneys quoted me. Others quoted weeks of research, with "a minimum of six weeks to hear anything back". Catherine responded in far less of time and I was approved in much sooner time than even the "weeks of research" it would take to just submit my response. Contact her for any of your intellectual property or business needs. She's ethical, wise, sharp, and quick-witted.

I had ignored the advice of family and friends and went to court representing myself regarding child support. Long story short, I messed up. I contacted Bryan about my case and he was a life saver. He made me feel at ease and did not judge me. He was very professional, sensitive, and understood the urgency of my case. My notice for Reconsideration was skillfully done and executed. I was very excited and satisfied with the outcome of my case.

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.

    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.

    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.
