My parents and I had a wonderful experience working with Ed and his staff. My parents wanted to create a living trust and I wanted to find someone in the Sacramento area that spoke their native language (Cantonese and Taishanese). English is their 2nd language and it would be hard for them to fully comprehend some of those legal questions. I wanted them to feel comfortable in speaking and asking questions without a need for a translator. I’m very happy I was able to come across Ed’s business and after talking directly to him I felt he would be able to communicate just fine with my parents and we set up an initial meeting for my parents to see if they would like to work with him. The rest is history and my parents are overjoyed and I have peace of mind knowing that everything is in order for them.

My husband and I were delaying the process of putting together a living trust/will. At times it just seemed overwhelming and frankly, something we just didn't want to take the time to do. Obviously it is extremely important and when we finally decided to make the move to get this completed, we had a couple of lawyers in mind. After choosing Ed Fong, we were extremely pleased with our decision. He didn't talk to us like a lawyer. He has a down to earth demeanor and he effectively outlined the process. No questions that we had were ever treated as trivial or ridiculous. And the process was smooth and painless. His staff was always helpful and responsive and easy to talk to. We both highly recommend The Law Office of Ed Fong.

My wife and I wanted to upgrade and have a review conducted of our trust that was established in the year 2000. Mr. Fong came very highly recommended by some friends. He and his team were incredibly professional and at the same time treated us with patience and courtesy. My wife and I both had some fairly significant questions about the trust and they were able to handle them without a problem. They completed the project and record time at a very reasonable cost. I would recommend this service and specifically the office of Ed Fong to anyone. Great job.

I can't begin to summarize how competent, responsive, proactive and compassionate John and his team have been throughout a very long and stressful eldercare process. From the first phone call, John was on top of my situation, saw me the next day (on a Saturday no less!) and immediately went into action. His knowledge of the eldercare process and applicable laws is beyond compare. He and his incredible team were there every step of the way and carried us through the worst of times.

Mr. Gosselin was recommended to me by a family member who is also MD in Winchester, MA. He spent 3 hours, 1-on-1, with me carefully explaining the myriad of MA healthcare intricacies me and my family needed to understand before going forward before placing my husband, a CT resident, in a nursing home close to his son. Attorney Gosselin literally wrote a book on this subject, but it was because of his knowledge and patience while helping me comprehend the system, that our family could go forward confidently with our final decision. PS. Having his dog, Darwin, attend the meeting certainly added to my experience (as an Australian Shepherd dog owner myself). I therefore highly recommend him and his firm. Diane

Our experience with this firm from day one has been excellent. My opinion extends to the entire office staff who are all extremely courteous and helpful people. We had a difficult situation with a non-communicative entity in the onset but with time, Ms. Johnson skillfully launched a plan that eventually led us to an impressive financial settlement plus she successfully negotiated a long-term contract for a substantial amount of money with a billion dollar corporation. Yes, she appears to be a gentle and calm dispositioned woman but there's a raging spirit within her who will not be intimidated by powerful big business and she will continually fight and strategize until you succeed in your cause. This case took almost 2 years to conclude but one of the most fortunate and wise things I've ever done in business was to hire Ms. Johnson.

If we could give Dara 10 stars, we would!! Dara is not only an incredible attorney, but is also extremely compassionate and understanding. My brother unexpectedly passed away earlier this year, several states away from where my wife and I live, and thankfully Dara was highly recommended to us by a good friend of my brother. Dara not only handled the many probate legal issues regarding my brother's estate, but she was also able to recommend various consultants and professionals, as needed, who helped with the sale of my brother's home, the sale of his vehicle, and various possessions. Simultaneously, Dara legal expertise was instrumental in helping me keep my emotional sanity intact during the intense grieving I was going through. I HIGHLY recommend her to anybody seeking legal services.

November 2020 was a devastating time for our sister as her husband died from COVID. His financial affairs were a total disaster, leaving his wife, our sister, an emotional, financial and physical wreck besides being disabled as well. We, that is, our other sister and her husband including myself, sometime shortly after this horrific sudden death, somehow, by the grace of God, had recommendations that Steve Braverman would be the perfect attorney for this situation. The 4 of us had a 4-way ( we were in 3 different states! ) phone consultation with Steve. Afterwards there was a joint consensus that Steve would be the perfect lawyer for our sister. Shortly thereafter, we hired him immediately and we have not looked back. Many complicated hoops we had to jump through, many questions and concerns, yes, fears and frustrations, but Steve was ALWAYS there for us, navigating us through quite frankly a mess of financial issues as one can imagine. Over these past 2 years + Steve has not wavered in his support. His investigative skills are superb as we looked at the various options, again, when one would not be accepted by creditors. His communication skills are pristine, clear and remarkable for a lawyer as such a profession is limited in that department of compassion. From the very beginnings of this lengthy process to the finish line, which is today, February, 2023, Steve has been steady as a mountain, 100% there for us. We feel deeply grateful that Steve Braverman, our sister’s attorney, navigated and journeyed with us to completion. If you hire Steve as your attorney, no need to have second guesses, consider yourself very fortunate as he will walk with you to the very end.

We've previously hired and dealt with several attorneys that often took their time to respond - which is very frustrating. Each time we contacted Mr. Braverman, he responded quickly and efficiently communicated with everyone involved. We were thankful that he is especially detail-oriented and foresaw eventualities that needed to be addressed in the documents that he was drawing up and reviewing. Clearly highly experienced and good at what he does, he left the legalese for the documents. Mr. Braverman did an excellent job helping settle our case, so we're very thankful to him and highly recommend him.

Living in another part of Florida and needing a second opinion from an experienced trust litigator I contacted Ms. Sundberg. Since I am involved in a trust but am not the grantor, the local attorney who created the trust had been (rightly so) keeping me a bit at arms length. Ms. Sundberg was available to take my call and did. She listened patiently while I explained my situation and questions regarding the trust, and my concerns about what might cause an adverse decision to the trust and myself should it be challenged. She then very calmly, but obviously from a place of experience, gave me her take on the pitfalls I might encounter. Importantly, she clearly differentiated between those items and courses of action that were middle of the road and safe and those that might be at the edge of the road and could go either way should the trust go to litigation. That distinction was hugely helpful. Finally, much like the character in "Miracle on 34th Street" who advises a Macy's customer who couldn't find the item they were looking for at Macy's that they could find it at Gimbels, she pointed out that an attorney who was certified in elder law and practiced in my geographic area would be the best attorney to consult for my remaining questions, since that is where the trust would be litigated if it came to that. Zimmerman Kiser Sutcliffe is lucky to have her and anyone who needs her assistance in her area of expertise cannot do better.

I found Parakh Law online, the price structure for services was perfect and so were the results! I closed the deal. Two years later I wanted to sell it, my plans changed and I just wanted out.

The tenant called me and made plans and deposited payments accordingly to catch up with payment 2) Sep 2017: I paid a concrete contractor 1/2 deposit for driveway concrete work and they kept delaying the work.

Gary Landau is an excellent real estate attorney. He is very knowledgeable. We were the buyers of a condominium and there were some problems but he helped resolve some of them. Also, Gary answers your questions fairly promptly even on weekends. I would recommend him without a doubt.

We had the pleasure of working with Gary as our closing attorney for our new home purchase. I couldn't have imagined a more pleasurable experience. We had a closing scheduled for Monday. The prior Wednesday, I received a call from Gary informing me that he was still waiting on an item that he had requested and that was needed in order to close on time. He kept me up to date on the situation, all the way through until it arrived in his office in time for closing. Gary even provided me with his personal cell phone number and urged me to call him over the weekend if we had any questions prior to closing. During our final walk through of the home we were about to purchase, we found some additional items that were not up to par as they previously were during inspection. Gary was able to negotiate with the seller on our behalf so we could close as scheduled. When we arrived for closing and met Gary in person for the first time, I was not surprised to find he was one of the friendliest, kindest, most down-to-earth people I've met. Without a doubt, I will recommend Gary to anyone that needs a real estate attorney. Five stars are not enough!

I was referred to Kristin by the lawyer handling my father's estate in a different state and I'm glad they did. Kristin was upfront with the process and estimated cost and best of all she was successful. Well worth the money and if I ever needed her expertise again I would hire her again immediately.

My husband and I hired Kristin to restate our family trust, incorporating some major changes. She gave us advice on choosing our final successor trustees. Kristin also contacted a lawyer in New Mexico on our behalf regarding some property we owned there. She was very reliable, knowledgeable and efficient. Kristin is also a fellow member of my Rotary Club and I know she had high ethical standards.

It was marvelous. I am handicapped and had an incident where I was pushed with verbal insults at work. This law firm is full on cases and cannot accept new client. However they took the time, out of their busy day, to send 3 referrals of law firms that may be able to assist in this matter. That is above and beyond the call of duty THANK YOU.

Attorneys Rick Hermida and Dairon Buergo are by far a tremendous duo. Not only are they great at what they do, they are very responsive and very professional. Each one of them went the extra mile to make sure everyone understood what was in front of them. Our family was facing a possible horrific outcome, but thankfully, that outcome never saw the light of day. Thank you, Rick & Dairon. You've both been a part of our family for so many years, it'll take some time getting used to the idea we will no longer be talking with you. We can't thank you enough for everything you did for our family. For anyone who needs an experienced, educated, and professional attorney(s), we highly recommend Mr. Rick Hermida and Mr. Dairon Buergo for all of your legal needs.

Rebekah helped us with a pretty complicated estate plan. We needed two wills and two trusts to meet the needs of our blended family. She took a lot of time getting our full story and hearing our desires for this estate plan. Then she put a lot if thought and time into creating something that really suits our needs and will be adaptable for future changes to our family dynamic. She put everything into a super organized and helpful binder with template forms for areas we need to complete ourselves. We highly recommend Rebekah!

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    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.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    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.
