Our family required the services of an attorney in Palm Beach Gardens/Palm Beach County to create a Will, Power of Attorney, Living Trust, as well as other legal necessities. Not knowing anyone in that area, we trusted ARAG and were directed to and retained the services of Ms. Maura Curran, Attorney. Ms. Curran immediately put us at ease with a combination of confidence, professionalism, and responsiveness. She proactively took charge of all legal aspects and in just two visits had a professional packet with all of our legal papers to take home. She successfully counseled my wife and me on the documents we required. She went above and beyond our case by taking the time to answer questions regarding my recently widowed Mother-in-Law. Ms. Curran did this with superb legal skills, patience, and professionalism. My wife and I highly recommend Ms. Curran for representation involving any type of estate planning, trusts, and wills. She competently demonstrated expertise in these areas, and we were extremely pleased with the resulting documents. Sincerely, L and M West Palm Beach, FL

I have been using Maura for a few years for various business related activities and she has been on top of deadlines and my needy requests. She keeps on top of the issues and explains legal ramifications when I ask her for advice. She works well with other professionals that I encounter in my businesses. I cannot say enough great things about her and I truly enjoy having her on my side.

I worked with Ms. Jean-Baptiste to help make my end of life wishes a reality. The process was incredibly smooth! I met with her on January 26th, to go over my wishes, and 5 business days later everything was finalized. I had assumed that the process would take at least one month. Nadine is both personable and professional. She didn't confuse me with lawyer jargon. Instead, she explained everything in layman's terms and made me feel welcomed and a part of her team. Also, she paid attention to details that I would have easily missed! I look forward to working with her again in the future. If you have not already found a lawyer for your real estate, estate planning, tax, or immigration needs, then I highly recommend Nadine!!!

Fernando was referred to me by a friend because she said he did a good job creating her trusts and I wanted a trust to protect our assets in case we got sued. He also helped us design a will that 'poured over' into our trust so if my husband and I were to die, my son would get what he was entitled to without any hassles or legal costs. Fernando is an expert in wills, trusts, and estates as well as Elder Law. It is all he does! He does not dabble in other areas of law like so many lawyers around town do. I'm very happy with Fernando's legal services and advice. I recommend him to all my friends and clients because he is great at what he does and his prices are very reasonable. Don't make the mistake of going to an online service or "jack of all trades" lawyer to save a few hundred bucks and risk losing your child's inheritance or your assets if you're sued . Go see Fernando, you won't be sorry.

Along with being professional, she was also very loving and kind. We can't thank her enough!

Ms. Schreiber has a thorough and accurate knowledge of the disabled. She answered specific questions regarding the guardianship of my very handicapped daughter. Ms. Schreiber became familiar with my daughter's case and did not generalize questions about her disability or her care. She made sure information was provided to me at my convenience, when I was available, and fought for my child not to have to attend a court appearance. This would have been tramatic due to her disabling condition. All questions were answered and I was at ease with the level of confidence she held and passed on to me throughout the guardianship process. I would recommend Ms. Schreiber to those seeking compassionate assistance.

I first met Annemarie about a year ago when I needed someone who I could trust & provide advice on matters of selling my parents place of residence due to illness, passing & the settling of estate matters. It was refreshing to finally have an attorney who took the stress & worry out of handling such matters during extremely difficult times. Once these items were completed, to which great care & attention were given, I then retained her services for my own personal family needs. Again everything went like clockwork; smoothly & without any stress associated with such issues & needs. Annemarie's experience, guidance & assistance on matters regarding estate planning as well as social security disability were/and are invaluable. This is the first time that I can say in all my years of working with attorneys, from a professional & personal standpoint, that someone actually responded back, put forth a plan, executed it, advised well, followed up, made sure "t's" were crossed, "i's" dotted and returned calls & emails in more than a timely fashion. She has two wonderful assistants, Sandra and Grace, who, together and individually, form a great team. Annemarie's values, experience and care for her clients definitely sets her apart from the rest. No one client is the same or has the same need to which Annemarie understands and pays great attention to. Without hesitation, I have already recommended Annemarie to others and will continue to do so.

My Grandmother means the world to me which is why when it was time to transition her to Assisted Living, I wanted to find an attorney that would protect her assets so that she would be comfortable in her declining years. The first moment I met Mr. Price, I knew he was the right man for the job. First, the office staff is very friendly and helpful making sure that you begin the estate process with the utmost ease. Next, when you have the actual appointment, he takes the time to get to know you and your family needs never overburdening you with things you don't need. He makes himself available to answer any questions and provides excellent and helpful advice without killing your wallet. I now have that peace of mind that my Grandmother's assets and best interests are in good hands so I can focus my attention on caring for her. If you are looking for an attorney to protect your loved one's assets, I can't think of anyone more experienced, kind, intelligent and caring attorney than Mr. Price. Words can never convey the amount of gratitude my family feels for having him in our lives. God Bless him for taking good care of the elderly.

I contacted the American Bar Association in my county and I was referred to Mr. Price's office as an Elder Care Attorney. I called his office and spoke with Mr. Price about my situation. I advised him that my uncle had Alzheimer's Disease and that my was in a wheel chair. Mr. Price advised that he would come to my aunt's home for a consultation. Mr. Price assisted me in all of the financial and legal aspects of my family's needs. He was always there to answer any questions I had on many subjects concerning my family's legal needs. I have since then had occasion to use Mr. Price's help with other family matters. Everyone in his office has always been courteous and efficient.

I recently purchased a new home and decided that it was a great time to establish a plan for the future. Honesty, I had no clue what an estate plan really was and the difference between a will, trust, etc. Loung Law came highly recommended to me by one of my friends. I contacted Mary and she was extremely responsive. She encourages open communication and was readily available to discuss my concerns and answer all my questions. The absolute BEST thing about Mary is that she was able to explain all the legal terms and conditions to me in an easy way for me to understand. She used real life examples to help me understand the in's & out's of all the different aspects of the estate planning documents. Mary was extremely efficient and within just a couple of weeks, my estate plan was finalized! I have to be honest, before I started this, I thought it was going to be a long, tedious process -- but in fact it was just the opposite! It was so much easier than I expected and it's really nice to have that sense of peace now that everything is done. Thank you Mary at Loung Law!!!!

Jeanne Vatterott-Gale won my case in re-establishing my elderly mother's estate and finances when the case seemed totally impossible to retrieve to safety and well-being. It took 2.5 years to settle and Ms. Gale had monies returned to the estate before they were exhausted. The family dispute over who would control my mother's persona, future and wealth between arguing siblings in court became alarmingly bizarre. Any other attorney may have lost their wits. The case at times was heartbreaking and sad; near hopeless. The greater the challenge the sharper Ms. Gale's determination to win what is right. I was my mother's advocate and Ms. Gale was advocate for both of us. In the end it was a remarkable outcome, return to normalcy for my mother and a good outcome for the entire family. Putting differences and selfishness aside it was yet the best outcome for us all. Dignity was restored for my mother.

I hired Ms. Nañez when I was having issues with not being able to see my daughter after repeated court order violation on behalf of her mother. She was able to present a strong and damming case to the courts that got the games to stop on her mom's part. The case was so well presented and organized that the judge also ordered some very strong penalties if she were to violate again. I am VERY satisfied with the work she did for me and given the chance/necessity, I would hire her again!

Tracy is caring and professional. She took a problem, diffused the situation and quickly wrapped things up. Her fees were more than fair and fit the situation. I talked to several law offices before finding Tracy, I am so glad they were too busy to help me.

I was devastated to find myself in a position to have to file bankruptcy. Mr Eastin and the entire staff at Platt and Westby were knowledgeable and helped me make it through the process and came up with a payment plan that worked for me. They stood by me when complications were incurred during the process. They were caring and supportive and with their help I have completed the process. I highly recommend this firm and Mr. Eastin to anyone who finds themselves in this unfortunate position.

We had an extremely complex Chapter13 case. Filing bankruptcy was an extremely agonizing decision but hiring Platt and Westby to represent us was probably the smartest decision I’ve ever made. Throughout the entire 5 years, Harvey Platt, Bryan Eastin, Thomas Karvel, and especially paralegal Dorothy Bain treated us with dignity and respect. If I could give Platt and Westby, P.C. “6” stars, I would. Trust me, if you need to file bankruptcy…nobody will get your back like Platt & Westby, P.C.

Andrew, with RSC Law Group, was the 3rd attorney I worked with in the course of my messy and protracted divorce. Andrew was amazingly patient with me as he helped me navigate through that legal nightmare. He spent a lot of time explaining to my stress addled brain all my options and suggesting next steps. He was a tremendous advisor to me and I truly appreciated that he and his firm gave me the guidance that was best for my family and not what generated the most billable hours. Divorce is not a clear cut process and I took a lot of comfort knowing that I had a place to turn to when I needed help. In court I felt well represented and I liked that he didn't spend time arguing with opposing counsel outside of the courtroom arena. If things were different he'd still be my attorney but I appreciate that they left my family and I in a safer and more secure place than they originally found us in.

Andrew has handled our family law case for the past 4 Years here in Monterey. Our case was very complicated and involved child custody, visitation, and support. He was very attentive to our needs and patient with us during the difficult and emotional experience. He was knowledgeable and paid special attention to detail which helped us win each time we went to court. Andrew was always prepared and swift to answer any questions via phone or email and there were even some times that he helped me during the weekends or holidays. I have recommended him to many friends here in the area and will continue to recommend him and utilize him for my own case as needed.

I recently contacted the firm about a custody modification and was pleasantly surprised by Erika's personality. She was knowledgeable about legal matters, but she didn't talk to me like I was an idiot when I asked questions (and I had plenty of them lol). I met with a different lawyer (not at this firm) prior to speaking with Erika, and I originally planned to work with him. A friend convinced me to call Flesner Wentzel instead because she felt like the first lawyer would not truly fight for my kids in the courtroom. I'm glad I listened to her. The prices for custody matters are very reasonable, and you can do a monthly payment plan. I'm a single parent, so knowing I can afford court without falling behind on other bills gives me peace of mind. I plan to hire this firm to represent me in the near future.

I had the extreme good fortune to have Erika Wentzel as my lawyer. I was going up against a New York stock exchange company that owns Plaza Mercedes West and knew it would be a tough fight against the big dog. Erika is very knowledgeable, prepared, and just overall excellent that I knew (and told her often) that no matter how it turned out she did the best job she could for me. I can not say enough great things about Erika. You are in great hands with Erika and her law firm. I strongly recommend Erika Wentzel and the Flesner Wentzel law firm of St. Charles, MO!!!!

My ex and I worked out an agreement for an uncontested divorce and we both wanted to make sure our divorce was finalized as soon as possible. Erika was able to get our divorce filed quickly and had the judgment signed on the 31st day after filing (the soonest it could legally be finalized). She has also drafted and reviewed several business contracts for me. She always makes helpful suggestions for amendments or additions. I am very happy with the services I have received.

Ms. Tagart did a great job getting my father's estate settled so that we could transfer some property. She provided clear instructions on what was needed and prepared the necessary documentation for filing and recording so that everything could be easily completed. We were also able to work together effectively even though I was in a remote location.

I was becoming a first time veterinary hospital partner and Yvonne was recommended by a friend to look over my contract. She was exceptionally thorough and made some great suggestions. When she looked over the contract she was looking out for my benefits and made sure I was protected in case anything happened. Yvonne took my comments into consideration throughout the entire process and was very efficient. I don't think I could have found anyone else to do a better job!

Go no further- you’ve found the perfect lawyer! Megan is sharp, strategic, tenacious, detailed, ethical, personable and always accessible. Our family was involved in a complex guardianship case regarding my father. We could not have won the case without her as THE “spearhead”. In alliance with John Barron, Megan gave our dad a new life. He can’t remember when he was this happy. At 89, he is now looking forward to 100! Megan, thank you for the peace of mind.

As we stated in our May 2020 BATSON BULLETIN e-newsletter, it was time for our estate documents to be updated due to family changes and to be certain they were current with Arizona law. We are Realtors who specialize in Seniors (SRES designation/Seniors Real Estate Specialists) so finding Andrea Claus will help many people whose paths we cross.. Andrea came highly recommended; then we were privileged to hear her speak at Pioneer Title/Desert Ridge. She certainly has a handle on how important real estate is to your estate planning. She was delightful to work with in preparing our new documents and came up with so many excellent recommendations. We’re so pleased with Andrea and her staff (especially Jackie Chaney). The process was thorough and efficient and accomplished via telephone/email right up to the date we signed (masked, gloved with our own pens) in the parking lot outside of her office during COVID19. Flawless! We feel so relieved to know our Trust & other documents are in order and she’ll be there when the time comes…hopefully many years from now. Thank you Al and Jean Batson

Mr. Black has provided a variety of legal services to my family and me over the last several years. I initially contacted him for advice relating to certain of my business matters, but more sought his services regarding a personal injury accident in which my daughter was involved. She was struck by a negligent driver while she was riding her bike on a city sidewalk. She sustained multiple serious injuries and required extensive hospital treatment and medical follow-up. Her claim against the other driver’s insurance company was resolved much to our satisfaction. Mr. Black has continued to help me with other legal matters and when my inquiries are not in areas in which he regularly practices, he has been very helpful in helping me to connect with other top professionals.

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:

    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.

    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.

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.
