I needed assistance with a business law matter pertaining to a corporation I had ownership in. Corey Silverman came highly recommended to me from another very prominent attorney with whom I am friends with. This business matter has been very difficult for me to deal with and Corey has gone above and beyond to make this process as painless as possible and has done a great job at keeping me focused on the end result when I become frustrated with the situation. Corey certainly has a passion for what he does and he is knowledgeable of business law inside and out. I have also hired Corey to set up my new business venture because I trust that he will ensure it is done correctly. Thanks Corey!

I was very impressed with the Silverman Law Firm. Corey Silverman was extremely detailed when customizing my estate planning to meet my family’s needs. We currently have one child and wanted to make sure she was adequately protected, but also wanted our estate documents to include any future children. Corey was well versed in this subject and helped my husband and I think of situations we wouldn't necessarily have thought of. He also explained each document thoroughly to ensure that we were in full understanding. Corey went above and beyond for us when he communicated with our Financial Advisor to make sure all parties received the documents that was required. I would highly recommend Corey Silverman. He is clearly an elite professional.

Mark comes highly recommended! He contacted me right away after an initial consultation request online, and then spent over an hour with me in his office giving advice and answering my questions. I hired him right away, and was very pleased with his care and attention to my time-sensitive case. Mark's legal consultation allowed me to enhance my financial situation significantly, and I cannot thank him enough. I strongly recommend Mark Malachowski to everyone I know and would use him again if necessary.

My husband and I decided to offer our son as part of his graduation present, a will... This may sound extremely unusual I can admit but if you think about it, they are legally adults and most likely leaving home for college. What if, God forbids, something was to happen to them? How many of us have taken the time to ask our children if they want to be cremated or buried? DNR? How much information can we get if them end up in a hospital because of the privacy/ HIPPA rules? What about their bank accounts/ credit cards/ loans? Completely unnatural for a parent to think that something tragic could happen to our adult children but trust me, the peace of mind that Henry provided to our family is priceless.

Everyone at Shepherd Elder Law Group is top notch in my opinion, from the staff to the attorneys. Ms. Shepherd is extremely knowledgeable and was a godsend in handling my disability compensation case with the sometimes slow and frustrating Veterans Administration. Without her insight, I am sure my case would not have had such a positive outcome and for that, I am eternally grateful. I am now rated service-related Vietnam Agent Orange disabled and because of Ms. Shepherd's sincere compassion, knowledge and determination, I can rest easy knowing my family will be taken care of. I look forward to working with Shepherd Elder Law Group in the near future and highly recommend her.

When I heard that my mother-in-law might be eligible for VA benefits, a friend suggested calling Shepherd Elder Law Group. They were able to provide me with all paper work that was required, a list of items that would be needed and then explained how to obtain needed documents. After paper work was completed, we had a meeting to check that all was done correctly, so that process would not be slowed down by missing or incorrect documentation. The benefits were received very quickly and I could not have done it without them.

My wife and I realized that our home somehow wasn't included in the name of our trust. The original work was done by Mr. halls law firm several years ago. As in most things, several laws had changed, making our trust somewhat ineffective. After consulting with Mr. Hall, we decided to completely update the document. We are now up to date with all of federal and state changes in relation to all of our needs. We want to especially thank Mr. Hall and all of his associates that worked on this project. Our home is now included on our property deed in the name of the trust. We highly recommend Mr. Hall and his firm. They also treat you like family, and take the time to discuss all issues in language we could understand. Five stars doesn't seem to be a high enough rating.

I was a client of a very well known reputable estate planning firm in town ( Phoenix) for 6+ years. I sought to have my Trust reviewed after my Mothers passing as we had experienced a number of issues with her Trust. I researched many local attorneys and came across the firm of MHK. I am very happy with the decision to meet with Mr Hall. Mr Hall was immediately able to review my then current Trust and point out major areas of concern!!! I found him to be very knowledgeable. A true blessing for me. I do not know how my family would have been able to overcome the issues they would have been facing if I had not had my Trust reviewed and revised!!! I am so grateful to Mr Hall for his professional help as well as his compassion and understanding.

I am so grateful to Deeb Elder Law. My mother had always been a very independent (read stubborn) lady until COVID 19. She was so ill and was hospitalized several times, but amazingly recovered. Still it took so much away from her mental and physical capacity. It also required her to move to a long-term care facility. I live in another state (Michigan) and dealing with all my mother’s needs was a logistical and emotional nightmare. From the time I hired Deeb Elder Law, a huge weight started to lift off my shoulders. Dayna Kennedy has been a God-send. She is so calm and professional while still being caring and accessible. Dayna has helped me navigate all the pitfalls of getting my mother moved, dealing with the State of Florida for Medicaid, working with Social Security, and dealing with all the minutiae that taking over a loved-one’s care. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without the caring, helpful professionals at Deeb Elder Law. I’ve been treated like family.

Geordie is amazing! He stepped in during one of the hardest times in my life. My mother passed away unexpectedly without a will and due to our circumstances the court decided we needed to go through formal, supervised probate. I was lost but the moment I met Geordie I knew I had a compassionate, knowledgeable and reliable partner to lead me through the craziness. It took over 9 months to go through the probate process and Geordie was there every step of the way. He even found precedents and rules other lawyers knew nothing about to ensure my family had the best possible outcome to a stressful and emotional situation. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

Deanna Bundy is an outstanding Bankruptcy Attorney. We handled the entire process via eMail (never met face-to-face). She sent me an information packet that contained everything I needed to do -- including credit training, documents required, and the whole process. She was there for me by telephone at every step of the way. If I got her voicemail, she called me back within 2-hours -- WoW! After the initial hearing with the Bankruptcy Trustee, the Trustee had a few questions (normal), and we handled those expeditiously. She sent me the final discharge notice the DAY she received it. The whole process start-to-finish took 4-months -- exactly 117-days. Anyone who tells you they can do it faster than that probably does not know what they are talking about. Deanna Bundy is courteous, friendly, knowledgeable and VERY Professional. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a competent Bankruptcy Attorney!

Mr. Dube' represented me in regards to my being sued by my brother. At our mother's request, I had been appointed Trustee of my brother's Special Needs trust for the previous 7 years. My brother has had a 60 year history of mental problems…diagnosed with manic depressive, obsessive compulsive disorders. He had been in and out of mental facilities for the past 40 years. Sadly this suit was depleting my brother's trust (his only means of support). Mr. Dube' stood by me with level headed advise and respect for my decisions. Mr. Dube' saw me thru the emotional ups and downs that were ever present, as is the case with most all legal entanglements. His fees were surprisingly reasonable due to his level headed handling of issues. His demeanor was one of respect for all involved. His gift is keeping our legal responses from fueling an already difficult situation. If what you want to pay for is a glitzy office and original paintings on the walls this is not an attorney for you. Mr. Dube' avoided a hostel environment where ever possible ~ knowing it would do harm to all involved and serve only to fuel higher attorney bills. Yet his strength was brought to the surface when needed to represented me with dignity. I can not recommend this professional more highly than letting you know that I will continue to recommend Mr. Dube' to my acquaintances and friends.

After contacting other attorneys who wanted to charge me a consulting fee, I was referred to Alexis by a friend. I never really have understood a consulting fee. I feel the purpose of meeting with an attorney is an interview process to determine whether you believe that person would be a good fit and to decide if you choose to hire them or not. After contacting Alexis I made an appointment with her. Alexis is very friendly and outgoing. She's easy to speak with and communicates very well. During our meeting Alexis explained the benefits and protection that a trust provides. She outlined the entire process and disclosed all the cost involved. At that point I decided to retain her services. Alexis and her staff were in constant contact from that point on via email and they were always available by phone as well. Planning and forecasting your future needs is not as simple as you made think until you have to do it. Alexis and her team clearly understood this more than I and were prepared to guide myself and my wife through it simplifying the process and easing the stress. I always have a feeling of confidence when dealing with professionals and Alexis did not disappoint. I would highly recommend consulting with Alexis to see what she can do for you.

I have recently been involved in a complicate intestate probate case after the death of my brother, an American citizen, and I have fortunately met this great team of two lawyers, Mr. Alexander Ginzburg and Mr. Yasha Bronshteyn from Santa Monica, CA. We are currently at the middle of our legal journey and I am taking the opportunity to express, on behalf of my mother, the legal heir, and on behalf of myself, our gratitude and high accolades to their outstanding job. We are living overseas, in Europe, so most of the communication has been done via e-mail and telephone, but that has not been an obstruction. All communication has been clear, transparent and in time, which is important as a moral support for my family and I.

I highly recommend Donaghy Law! Beyond a 5 star rating! They are highly professional, courteous and knowledgeable. I found myself going through a messy divorce and I had absolutely no idea what to expect. The team of Kevin Donaghy, Tasha Vasquez and Nicole Stockmar saw me through from the very beginning. Kevin Donaghy is a strong, calm, reassuring voice and figure who made me understand that I do have rights and protected them. Kevin not only utilized his knowledge and expertise as an attorney, but also applied his experience in Real Estate as a Certified Public Account to my unique case that required all three areas of expertise. Kevin, Tasha, Nicole and Pearl (the resident Boston Terrier) worked hard for me and we came out victorious in every aspect of my case. They are more than just a team of friendly amazing attorneys, they are family.

He did a divorce settlement for me. It was so favorable for me, it is sealed. Probably the best split ever in my state. He's committed, engaging and can hit the home runs.

Cindy did an excellent job in all aspects. There was never a time that I felt she didn't know what she was doing, or was putting me on the, "back burner." All of her efforts led to the most positive outcome I could have expected from the case. Thanks Cindy!

After sitting through a few free consultations with other firms I was getting discouraged. Attorney Clarke actually listened and genuinely cares! I have used her firm for 3 separate issues since and they've delivered each time. I have to point out her blunt honesty as well - she didn't sugarcoat things for me and gave me realistic expectations. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! Thank you!!!

I am delighted to share my positive experience with Greg Jean-Denis, who played a pivotal role in helping us win our case during a challenging dispute with tenants. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Greg truly possesses a thorough understanding of Florida Real Estate law and demonstrates keen attention to detail throughout the process. He guided us through legal matters beyond our understanding with clarity and patience, ensuring we understood our rights and options at every step. Greg is incredibly accessible and promptly responds to phone calls, text messages, and emails. This level of communication not only provided us with peace of mind, but also ensured that all of our questions and concerns were addressed in a timely manner.

Even though counselor Denis was unable to take my case due to the time requirements he proves to be exceptionally gracious and generous offering his insight and sophisticated knowledge of law. it’s one thing for an attorney to know the law it’s another for an attorney to know how the contours apply to strategy -simply superior!

The Martin Law Firm was an invaluable asset to me in expertly and expeditiously serving my trust and estate needs. Attorney Steven Martin and his staff are hard-working, dedicated and importantly they have the ability to see the big picture in often complex, emotionally-charged matters. His perspective and counsel has made me more confident and informed related to protecting my family and future. Behind Atty. Martin, is his firm: the Martin Law Firm; the firm offers a feeling of comfort and home in which there are no barriers of access - it is clear that all staff members in the office are treated with respect and importance. Despite the firm’s relatively small size, I always feel like there was more than one professional who had my back; I believe the entire firm is my support system. The firm’s expertise overall is wide in scope, though the practice maintains its focus and instead of deviating from their core expertise - the staff and leadership at The Martin Law Firm will ensure that a professional with specific expertise is brought in to add an extra layer of confidence through his or her niche experience. The Martin Law firm helped me achieve the goals I needed for my family and me. I put my full faith, trust and highest recommendation to those considering their options for legal matters or counsel.

Highly recommended!! My very first call to them was answered by Mr. Steve Martin. He was so calming, knowledgeable, and nice. I received an appointment that day and was helped by legal assistant, Miss Claudia, who was just as warm and professional. My nerves were put at ease, my case was expedited and I felt like part of their family. I honestly can’t say enough of wonderful things about Martin Law Firm, and how truly grateful I am to have had them on my side.

I hired Beth to help me negotiate the terms of an uncontested divorce. She walked me through the process and negotiated separation terms with my ex's lawyer, as well as prepared all of the forms and paperwork I needed to file with the court. Beth advised me on the possible courses of action and gave recommendations, but also made sure my opinions and needs were expressed to the other party. In the end, we ended up with a fair settlement without having to involve outside mediation or going to trial. Beth was accessible, professional, and informative throughout the process. I would strongly recommend her, especially in cases where settling equitably out of court is the goal.

Ms. Aarons worked with our family to create multiple estate plans for multiple purposes. She was empathetic to our needs/wishes and listened well during initial consultations, later recommending the best course of action to meet our objectives. All the while maintaining the utmost level of professionalism and responsiveness to our questions/concerns. Her explanations are thorough, yet easy to understand and her flexibility with respect to meeting and turnaround times are unparalleled in my opinion. Finally, Ms. Aarons services are reasonably priced and she is extremely easy to work with. I would highly recommend her services for your family, estate planning and/or probate needs.

I hired Attorney Megan Raymond for a number of business related start-up activities which needed to be completed ASAP in order for a significant business transaction to occur in a timely manner. She set up the LLC entity, Articles of Organization, Master Operating Agreement and obtained State and Federal Tax ID numbers, all in an expedited manner. This was done very competently, accurately and professionally under the very tight time schedule. She continues to handle the legal activities for the LLC. I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Raymond as a hard working and professional attorney who also has solid communication abilities. Completely satisfied.

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.

  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.

      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.

      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:

  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
