My family and I live in New England and recently had a relative residing in Tennessee pass away with a small estate and no beneficiary, so we contacted the Tennessee Bar Association and they referred three Probate Lawyers. The second Attorney that we called and the one that we chose was Amanda Jelks. The consultation that we had was extremely informative and covered everything from our options, Tennessee Law, and legal fees. She, as well as her staff, were very professional and made the Small Estate Probate process seem effortless. I don't normally review products or services, however, Amanda and her staff definitely deserve 5 stars and we would highly recommend this Attorney to anyone.

She was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable and patiently took the time to thoroughly explain everything to me regarding the updates and required information for my Will in a way that I could completely understand. She made this a very easy task to accomplish, her fee's are very reasonable and her organizational skills are off the chart! I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

My dad and I hired Mr. Holberg to handle my mom's estate after another attorney walked away from the bar and many cases. It was a mess and something that should have been handled over a year ago. He listened, provided a clear strategy to fix the errors from the previous attorney, and was responsive. I never thought I'd be so thankful to have a responsive attorney, but it's SUPER important.

After reaching out to more than 4 attorneys to help with a complicated , 100 year old land deed which needed a cleared title, I was wholly discouraged. Each professional from whom I sought help barely listened to the facts of my story as they quickly surmised that the work required to clear this title would outweigh what they could charge to do it. But then I found Mike! Mike returned my phone call with only a few moments before the close of the business day, on the eve of his birthday. Due to my previous experiences and the late hour, I expected to hear yet another rushed excuse for not taking up my case. But to my delight, Mike listened to the details of my heirloom property. He asked questions, paused often in thought. He was actually contemplating solutions! In this initial conversation, he went straight to work at his computer all the whole asking deeper questions and contemplating possible roadblocks. He pulled up some details about the plot. He checked the assessors database and looked for local title companies who might provide us with other details needed before any real legal work could begin. And all of this effort within a few moments of chatting with me! What a kind and sympathetic gentleman. Here was a man who was truly passionate about his profession. He seems to truly enjoy the work of untying legal knots simply for the challenge of it, the satisfaction of solving a puzzle just because it was intriguing. Where the other lawyers spoke first about payment and money, Mike spoke first about the specific legal processes required, and considerations that might make things tricky, like any good craftsman does when assessing a project. I was delighted to find this rare gem who defies all the lawyer stereotypes of being cold and greedy. I am looking forward to his help resolving my legal matter. If you are tired of fruitless legal consults, I would encourage you to reach out to Mike. Though he may not be able to solve your specific legal issue, I can promise that he will take the time to educate and empower you so you can better pursue resolution.

Attorney Holberg is truly a praiseworthy lawyer. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, confident, and passionate about his client’s cases. He is honest and direct about the bounds of his area of practice and expertise and willing to refer you to a specialized attorney to assist if needed. This team approach shows integrity and a commitment to the overall success of your case and your individualized needs. I especially appreciated him effectively explaining my options and key strategies for my case. He worked hard to gather information and research to enhance the options and strategies he proposed. Beyond being a highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable lawyer, Attorney Holberg exhibits rare vesting in his clients that puts you at ease about knowing that your case will be handled fully, professionally, and right the first time. I highly recommend Attorney Holberg and his law firm to my family and closest friends. In my experience, he was able to provide a level of service far greater than standard law firms. Attorney Holberg and his staff always responded to me in a professional and timely manner. He was thorough, strategic, empathetic, and personable. Attorney Holberg took the time to hear all of my concerns and clearly and concisely outlined all the different courses of action, including the positives and negatives of each choice. I felt empowered and encouraged. He resolved my problem quickly. I could not have asked for better representation. Working with Attorney Holberg was incredibly easy and the least stressful part of a very difficult situation. Without hesitation, I give Attorney Holberg my highest recommendation.

I interviewed three law firms before selecting Stefan Wolf to be my estate planning attorney. Throughout the process of setting up a trust, will, POA and Advanced Directive he was the consummate professional. Stefan is responsive, smart, extremely knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. After a phone conference with my long-time financial planner, my planner called me and asked if I knew how lucky I was to have Stefan as my estate attorney. My planner said he works with his clients estate attorneys all the time and had never worked with someone of Stefan's caliber. High praise from my curmudgeon of a financial planner! We finished the process on-time and at the quoted flat rate despite the complexities of my estate. I am now continuing my travels with peace of mind knowing my estate is set up exactly how I want it to be. Stefan's team is also extremely responsive and professional. Thank you!!

After she prepared our documents, we reviewed them, I had a few changes. I was super impressed in the amount of details that went to our trust and other documents that we needed.

Gold is using a client management portal - where I could log in any time at my convenience to check on the case progress, message Irene and her staff - and also to view and pay invoices. I was so worried this prenup would cost me a lot - because I do not have any experience working with lawyers - but, surprisingly, my final bill was very reasonable. I am now happily married and if I had to do it all over again - I would come back to Ms. Gold without any hesitation!

Choices had to be made and we were not prepared to navigate the process surrounding long-term care. The care coordination efforts we received were invaluable, giving us peace of mind that we were making the best decisions at each turn. The communication was clear and well documented, and we always received prompt responses to any questions or concerns we had.

Best phone call I ever made. While speaking with Mr. Rothkoff for the first time, he asked "why are looking for legal help with managing your mother's estate?" As Power of Attorney for my mother, I was terrified I would make a mistake that would be to her financial detriment. I lived in one state, she was currently in another and was re-locating to a third. I had heard horror stories from people who just didn't know how to navigate elder care law. When I told him such, he replied: "We'd love to help you. When can you come in?" I felt like I'd just been welcomed to the family! The services provided by Rothkoff Law Group have proven invaluable. Every interaction with anyone from Rothkoff Law Group is pleasant and efficient.

Tonya Gibbs Penn is the exception, not the rule. Not only did she have tremendous compassion with our case, but she also proved to be a brilliant attorney who demonstrates a true interest in her clients and their cases. We live in Nashville and wanted someone to represent us who would really care about our case. Trust was an important factor because our case was in Virginia and we’re in Tennessee, about ten hours from court. Ms. Penn not only made sure that we understood the specifics of our current case, but she also explained what we would need to expect going forward. She never ignored any communication or kept us guessing. She was forthright and highly responsive. More importantly, no one else would’ve been so willing to peel back the layers of the case and ask the questions that she asked in order to get the best information to help us better prepare for the future. As we look to 2021, we hope to return to Tonya Gibbs Penn for family law representation and know that if we have her on our side, we’ll be able to enter court with the assurance that she will be fighting for us the whole way. If there’s ever been a God-send in a legal battle, Ms. Penn was and is a true blessing to our family. Even now, a day later, we’re still talking about how lucky we were to find her. I highly recommend Tonya Gibbs Penn to everyone out there who needs a Virginia lawyer. She far exceeded any and all expectations.

My husband and I were introduced to Ryan through a class we were taking. It was obvious he knew what he was talking about when it came to estate planning. We liked that he had focused his carrier on estate planning and was an expert in this field. He shared his book with us before even hiring him. This contained a lot of good information that was easily understood. What I enjoy most about working with Ryan is his personable attention. Every call or e-mail was responded to immediately. Even when I did not intend for him to respond until business days and hours, I was pleasantly surprised to hear from him. With every question I had, and I had many, he put on his teacher hat and was happy to take the time to explain and teach me until I understood so I could make an educated, informed decision. We do not have a large estate, but what we do have we want protected and cared for. Ryan made us feel like we were as important as a client with a much larger estate. He was caring and understanding, treating us with respect and guiding us to make sure our small estate will be well taken care of. Ryan did the footwork. He contacted the other professionals we use to make sure everything was in order. When there was an inconsistency or problem, he took care of it personally. Ryan is real, not stuffy, friendly, articulate, knowledgeable, experienced, thorough, possessing good communication skills, and the consummate lawyer. It is a pleasure working with him and I would confidently recommend his services.

After splitting up with now my ex wife, I began looking for a "good" attorney. Naturally I searched the internet reading reviews etc. I decided by his great reviews that I wanted Liam Duffy to represent me. That was the absolute best decision of my life. I absolutely loved how Liam spoke to me man to man as though we were friends and having a conversation. He made me feel extremely comfortable, and always explained everything so it all made perfect sense. Liam pretty much put my ex's attorney to shame. It was quite awesome really, I would be lying if I said I wasn't grinning from ear to ear as Liam just shredded my ex's attorney. At one point my ex was trying to stop my daughter from coming with me on my appointed night, it was roughly 6 pm I made a phone call to Liam, he had my ex's attorney on the phone and literally within the hour my ex was dropping my daughter off at my home! Now how many attorneys will do that for ya at 6-7 pm in the evening? Liam got me full physical custody of my daughter and I didn't think it would be possible. I could go on and on about the things Liam did for me, I am so pleased. If you are looking for a top notch attorney that will not nickel and dime you, that is very fair on everything and will work with you every step of the way, then Liam Duffy is the attorney you want to represent you. I know every friend & Family member I have, knows about Liam and won't hesitate to retain his services in the future.

His knowledge in his field helped me feel better about dealing with my case. I would hire him again should I never need to.

I hired Mr. Cohen to get the job done and he did just that. The only downfall was the time it took to complete my divorce. To no faults of Scott of course. The courts are so backed up it took a while. The positive part was being able to contact Scott and he almost was always available to speak with me. He kept me in the loop with everything that was going on in my case and that was one of the most important things to me. I do recommend Scott if communication is a big deal because he does make it a point to stay in contact and include his client.

I engaged Mr. McDonald very late in my case with the Medical Board, but he was able to kick things into high gear and get me ready for my hearing.

Mr. McDonald was very professional and encouraging during the duration of my case. He encouraged me to be honest and insightful in my responses provided to the board, and I believe this is the primary reason why my case had a positive outcome. He made himself available whenever I had a question or concern regarding my case. If he could not answer my calls, he made sure to return them promptly. I would highly recommend hiring Mr. McDonald, as I found him to be professional, reliable, and genuine.

I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Tanaka. My wife and I have never been sued before so this was definitely a new experience. Over the last year we worked with Mr. Tanaka regarding a Landlord/tenant dispute. He was nothing but a professional the whole time and was always there if we needed him. Words to describe him would be intelligent, clear communicator, down-to-earth, empathetic, and confident. We were extremely impressed by him in the court room during our final hearing. It definitely payed off having Jonathan in our corner. If you need someone to represent you in any capacity I highly recommend Mr. Tanaka!

Mr. Tanaka is the best family attorney that I have worked with. I have seen him multiple times over the past three years for legal advice and recently retained him to handle my custody case. Excellent communication throughout the process. When I initially filed for divorce, I hired one of the big firms and was essentially ignored for five months. Mr. Tanaka accomplished the same volume of work in less than a quarter of the time.

Omg I don’t know where to start with this man. Here we go. I lost my wife and I am fairly young man and I did not know the importance of have an estate lawyer. It’s not a joke how they system can just make it impossible for you. I am truly thankful of Bob with his team of helping me and saving me hundreds of thousand of dollars of which I could have never paid of. But because of his hard work and detail focused, good planning, and your love for people to do well in whatever walk of life they have. You made it happen for me and saved something for my kids to leave a good life and get opportunity to go college with very minimum debit. More could be said but no need. I want to conclude by blessing him and his team and wishing him all the best in his work - I believe his love for people make work hard. God bless him.

Robert Gerhard is an exceptional Elder Law attorney who I hired to make sense of a tangled legal situation involving the estate of a deceased family member. Without a formal will and interconnected paperwork, Bob was able to work through Pennsylvania's laws & regulations to establish an executor, file taxes, close out the estate and bring all fiduciary questions to a close. Without his knowledge, patience, personal and professional assistance, I would have been completely lost throughout the entire probate process. He made me feel comfortable and trustworthy at all times, explaining the "legalese" of government forms, etc., and the need for documentation. I feel that I couldn't have made a better choice for an Elder Law Attorney in Pennsylvania.

Marci went beyond my expectation. She worked diligently (despite the COVID slow down in the courts) and with great compassion, in getting a resolution in my conservatorship of two children. Her hard work in getting the necessary paperwork, including serving the absentee parents, who proved difficult to locate, living separately in two states. Her personal concern for the welfare of the children and obtaining a stable environment for the them to grow up in was wonderful. I will gladly recommend her, and if need be use her again in the future.

I hired Mark , for a divorce it was a costly horrible divorce that because of reconciliation off and on it lasted approximately 6 1/2 yrs . I payed Mark thousands of dollars over that period of time - divorce can be costly and if you want prime rib and all the fixens then you gotta pay for it . Ok here it is , (1 ) I could of changed attys anytime . I’m a retired cattle rancher ( hands on ) and retired airline pilot - and I don’t take crap off anyone and if I do - I have to sure respect them . Mark will tell you … “Shut Up and listen !” When its needed … he will call you ask how you are when you have surg and ask if you need anything?and mean it - He will listen when your discouraged at the same time keep your skin thick because divorce isn’t for the weak . Yes … I had very heated discussion with him when I didn’t agree - all but once that I remember he was right and I was not quite right . That’s what I was paying him for ! I didn’t need a lot of bedside manner - I wanted to open and maintain a can of Whoop A.. and he did but smooth flowing just enough and he cooled my jets when needed ( often ) . If I called .. he answered , if I needed to ask a question he answered it - sometimes he told me … “let me work …this is costing you $” ( when I was over managing ) he’d tell me “I got this . “ I used mark to pound the beach with the heavy artillery soft up the enemy and I mean nobody gonna mess with you in or out court house if he’s your atty … seriously ! It’s been yrs now since …. I got the divorce :) I was going through my phone and saw his number .. texted him and just as when I was paying him thousands $ he answered my text and he’s there if I need .. I’m telling you I’m sold - I’d hire him again - I like him as a person and I like when it comes to him as my atty I could look away and he’s got it . He’s better as a leader / teammate than your opposing counsel so hire him and listen , he’s got it ! just let him work !!!!! RG

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

    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.

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.
