I hired Michelle almost 2 years age for my custody and divorce case. She has been doing the best job possible for me and my case. She has never led me wrong or played any games with me or the courts. She is very knowledgeable within the judicial system and has many of contacts and mentors within the community. Her resources are unlimited, for which she used to do the best job possible. She took a personal interest in my case and personal life. Could not have picked a better person to represent me.

Gregg is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet, and I owe a lot to him for taking his time to work with my wife, and I. From the beginning he believed us, and fought for truth, and justice, doing everything by the book. Always being available for a phone call, or text (when he's not in court). Not only for legal advice, but even a mentor in many regards. I could go on, and on. Bottom line is he's the fairest lawer I know, he's the best at what he does, and not only will he be my lawer again (hopefully wont need a lawer in the future) but I consider him a great friend now. Praise God, and thank you Gregg Grafagnino. God is truly with you when you bring the heat in court.

I was 19 years old and made a mistake that could wreck the rest of my life. Other family in the past has gone through Gregg and was amazed at what he could get done. When I met him he took time for me to get on an emotional level with him and then gave full attention to my case! I then made his job even more difficult by not complying to certain things and he was still patient and determined to make the best alternative for me! I've so far recommended him to 3 friends and they are all beyond happy with the results. Call him!

I recently retained Charles Lloyd to represent me in my complex, double-felony sex-offender registration violation case. Both Charlie Lloyd and his partner at LLOYD & NASH, Michael Nash, met with me multiple times to understand the urgencies and sensitivities of my case and hear my concerns. They researched case law and worked behind the scenes with court officials, and within 48 hours, we had all options and concerns on the table. In fact, Charlie and Michael were able to persist even after two other legal firms were unable to handle this sensitive case that was destined to send me to prison for 5 years. Even though it was exceedingly difficult to face what I considered unscrupulous authorities and changing procedures for these publicly-abhorrent charges, I was well advised to plead. In fact, as a result, Charlie and Michael were able to reduce my legal exposure to a probationary period. Indeed, exceptional communication, great persistence and strong personal connections resulted in an outcome beyond all expectations, especially given the difficulties of navigating court proceedings with these publicly abhorrent charges. Lloyd and Nash are likely not the cheapest legal representation in town, but because of their capabilities and experience, I would always trust them to handle my freedom and well being. They clearly care for clients and they are highly capable, professional and personable. They had a keen ability to cut through the legal and procedural bullshit to strategically develop a range of practical options and work closely with the court to reach a fair and just conclusion. If you’re faced with difficult circumstances in a sex-offender or another criminal case, I would highly recommend having Charlie Lloyd defend your freedom.

I have been a client of Mr. Lloyd since the passing of Kenneth Carrington from whom Mr. Lloyd expanded his client base upon taking over Mr. Carrington's practice. I was fortunate enough to count myself among them. As a troubled teen and into my 20s - 30s between Mr. Carrington and Mr. Lloyd I on occasion required their services. I must say that I have never been disappointed and have always without fail received top notch legal representation and most often a better than expected outcome. I couldn't complain if I tried, because there simply isn't anything that I can see that could've been done better to insure the best possible outcome with respect to my needs and just the all around ease with witch things are handled by Mr. Lloyd and his more than capable staff. If you need legal representation in this field of legal practice then just do yourself a favor and save some time and grief and money and give Mr. Lloyd a call. In 30 yrs I have never been disappointed and I'm more often amazed at the results than anything. Mr. Lloyd is the best! Hands down.... I didn't say he's the rest. I said he's the best. Don't go in expecting a pat on the back and a sugar coated smile as he takes your fee and says what he "might" be able to do. No Mr. Lloyd cares and it shows when he speaks to you about lessons needed to be learned and he's not afraid to tell you where you messed up or need improvement. I wouldn't have it any other way, because at the end of the day I've had first hand experience with Mr. Lloyd's services in comparison with the competition and the fact is that there is no comparison. They are the rest. Mr. Lloyd is the best!!!! To Mr. Lloyd I would like to express my sincerest and humblest gratitude for once again delivering the same level of service on my last and recent case with an even better than expected outcome with the same ease of handling the issue I'm accustomed to. Thank Again! Erik

I wish I could fully convey my thoughts about Scott. Scott took on my case midway through the process when my previous attorney quit my divorce. I found myself in a really bad spot having to find a new attorney that was willing to go to trial with a judge that was not in my favor, and against my ex’s attorney who was free. Scott had good graces knowing that I came from an attorney that honestly loathed him, and he took up my banner in the middle of his heavy case load. I cannot tell you how indebted to him and his team for making the impossible possible. By the time my trial came my case had been completely revamped. His partner Mckail worked diligently on my exhibits for my case and spent the time to really prepare all my witnesses before trial. We walked in to court with a better case than I had in the last year, and Scott’s acumen in the trial was shrewd and well informed. His arguments consistently met with the approval of the judge, and he deftly handled my ex’s attorney when they tried to sneak in testimony that was underhanded. In the end I got what I fought for two years for, my kids and the equal right to be involved in their lives. My children and I are the direct benefactors of Scott’s skills and help. I absolutely give my recommendation to Scott as an attorney worth working with.

He's very knowledgeable and very professional. He's always taken the time to meet with me, listen to the details of my case and has offered helpful instructions to help me navigate through it all. I will definitely think of him first any time I may need counsel and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a great attorney!

I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend the law firm of McCormack and McCormack. I worked with this firm for nearly four years and in the end, I had my security clearance reinstated after multiple letters of intent stemming more than a decade. Although I was facing insurmountable odds, Greg McCormack and his highly-skilled paralegal assisted me in navigating the confusing and complex world of security clearances. His decades of experience and shrewd litigation skills overwhelmed the government’s case and left the appeals board without question as to my reliability and trustworthiness. If you are facing a security clearance issue, I strongly recommend you retain the services of Greg McCormack. There is simply too much at stake and relying on your own knowledge or the guidance of a lesser-experienced firm may prove to be an incredibly costly and life-altering mistake. I summary, I owe a debt of gratitude to this firm that I can never repay.

During the few months that my case was processed, Jason went the extra mile to help me to understand exactly what my situation involved. He took the time to relieve my concerns and explain in terms I could understand, exactly what my options were. He provided compassionate advice while accurately describing the options I had and the ramifications my decisions moving forward, could have on the outcome of my case. Ultimately we decided the best course of action was to contest the validity of the allegations. After 2 hearings in front of the judge, it was such a relief that my case was dismissed. I feel that with a different attorney I would definitely have been looking at a much different outcome. I credit Jason's confidence and proactive approach as well as an open line for consistent communication, to the outcome of my case. I was very grateful to have someone on my team willing to take the time and really put forth such an exceptional effort. I would, (and have) recommended Jason to anyone I have encountered that might have the need for legal consultation.

A few months back my ex and I got into an argument and before I knew it she had called the police. I ended up in jail and was arrested for domestic abuse, assault and battery. I know that it's a cliche but I never touched her and was only defending myself! A friend of mine told me about Lipton Law Offices and I asked him to contact Mr. Lipton on my behalf. Within hours his bail bondsman had bailed me out of jail. After I was released, I immediately met with Mr. Lipton and was totally impressed. He was enthusiastic and tenacious in handling my case and always kept me in the loop. His persistent arguments to the District Attorney led to the dismissal of my case. I would not be a free man without Mr. Lipton. This man saved my life!

The charge against me was a misdemeanor hit and run. I was very nervous and fearful, because I have never been in trouble with the law. I knew right away that I had to find a knowledgeable attorney who truly cared about representing me to the best of their ability. I interviewed multiple lawyer's and found that most of them were all talk and no action. After interviewing Mr. Lipton and reviewing my case together, i was immediately relieved. He explained, in detail, what every section of the police report meant in a clear and concise manner. He was prompt and kept me informed on a constant basis. He also comforted me and made me feel at ease. I felt like a human being, not a criminal like other attorney's made me feel. The District Attorney handling this matter was very reluctant to reduce the charge, but with Mr. Lipton's diligence and investigative skills he was able to pin point many areas in which sufficient evidence lacked. He displayed extensive legal knowledge and negotiating skills. Because of Mr. Lipton's dedication, experience, and professionalism, the D.A. to reduced my charge to an infraction.

I contacted Trial Lawyers of the Palm Beaches after two cars collided in front of me and one of them came straight into me at about 45 miles an hour. I knew I was hurt, but I did not know how bad it was. Not only did I get the care I needed- but my goal was to come out of it not owing medical bills. I was stunned at what Samantha was able to do for me. My bills were completely covered and Sam achieved a settlement that was ELEVEN TIMES what the insurance company offered me! Not only were my medical needs addressed, there was plenty of money left over for me in the event future medical needs arise. I was full of fear and anxiety. Sam made the process easy, kept me informed, and achieved a result against a huge insurance company that I thought absolutely impossible. Maybe the lawyers on the billboards and tv are good, too. I felt I would get lost in the shuffle with a massive firm. With the Trial Lawyers, I got an amazing result, with personal, caring attention to my case. Never lost in the shuffle, Sam personally called me to give me updates, see how I was feeling, and let me know what she needed (documents, etc) to win. And win she did. I did not have to pay anything up front. Hiring the wrong lawyer can be a huge mistake. Calling Samantha was one of the best calls I've ever made. I strongly recommend her. She is an excellent personal injury attorney.

I am a business owner who has lived primarily out-of-state since 1981. I have a second home in Minnesota. My situation occurred in 2017, after a cop harassed me for nearly an hour in a parking lot. Unfortunately, this occurred in a suburb whose cops are notorious for harassing innocent people. I was "guilty" of driving with expired plates, and knew it; I'd been out of town working, forgot to renew the plates on the car I keep in Minnesota. I apologized to the cop but he continued harrassing me. Oddly, he did not write me a ticket. Instead, he spent nearly all of his time asking me irrelevant personal questions (e.g., about other cars I own but do not drive). Months later, I received a court document that I did not understand. According to the document, I was facing several thousands of dollars in fines and a jail sentence. Without hesitation, I retained Mr. Sessoms. The conclusion was that the judge let me off with a year's probation- no fine, no jail time. This would not have happened without Faison Sessoms's exceptional creative thinking and guidance. An important PS is that I have twice before seen Mr. Sessoms in action; throughout the years. I don't know of another Minnesota attorney with his experience- he really knows his way around the court systems- and knowledge of this state's judges. (It was actually a retired judge who recommended him to me.) I have not hesitated to recommend his services to others, who were equally pleased with his services- and hence I am doing so, now. If you're reading this review because you're shopping for an exceptional lawyer, HIRE Faison Sessoms.

To say Mr. Featherston's representation was PHENOMENAL would be an injustice to his true personal and professional ethic because he is THE ATTORNEY you want on your side. Nothing short of COMPELLING in and out of the courtroom, I was fortunate and lucky enough to see Mr. Featherston handle my case and I was just blown away by how DETAILED and ATTENTIVE his approach to my legal situation was. I mean he just took the case from all angles and had an answer for any possibility that came our way. This case would change my life and perspective toward how real the world can get but Mr. Featherston & his legal counsel shielded me from what could have been a very different outcome. I am completely in awe of Robert Featherston as an attorney and as a great man. I wish him continued success in what is obviously a very remarkable and accomplished career.

I cannot fathom another firm caring and understanding as much as they have. The way they help you feel secure about your situation and the hand holding that they give is out of this world. They had such patience with me and my constant communication that I needed to have to feel comfortable going through this.

Without Westbrook I would be sitting in prison tonight. I have worked with her for over a year on my case and when I say that, what I mean is: she has dealt with me for over a year and worked on my case. Westbrook is the definition of left field, she comes up with stuff out of no where that makes you feel stupid for never thinking of yourself. In my year with her I definitely thought I finally had an idea of what sort of attorney she was and how she operates. NOPE! She suits up for court and it’s as if you hired a whole different woman! There were times in that court room I’d sworn I saw a cape around her. This woman is absolutely amazing and I owe my life to her, if I ever get falsely accused again there is no one else I would ever go to. EVER. If I moved across the country I’d make her get licensed there just to be my defense again. I gave this poor woman absolute hell for things that had nothing to do with her at times and yet she’d be up until 3am working on my case. She can seem a bit unorthodox but let me assure you there is a method to her madness and you do not want to be the one going against her in a court room because she works in the most unpredictable ways and then suddenly brings it all together and by the time you realize what she did it’s already over. I’m not saying I trust the process, but I do trust her and her process. You have the choice of who’s about to defend you and based on what you did or in my case what you are falsely accused of doing…. Trust me when I say that Westbrook is best bet I ever put my life on. She’s amazing, she’s the best, she’s going to get you through the nearly impossible,

I was in a bind in Oregon City with an unexpected criminal charge. Westbrook came highly recommended by a top divorce attorney and proved skilled and knowledge on extremely short notice by consulting me on the phone, text, and in person during a last minute hearing. She has a heart to help the underdog while staying cool under pressure (without bias). My unique and challenging legal situation has been a nightmare, but Westbrook’s wisdom and generous spirit while always being willing to assist has truly been a breath of fresh air. If you need a great criminal attorney then can handle complex situations, call Westbrook and tell her “Mansquito!” sent you!

Three years ago I was wrongfully convicted of crimes I did not commit. After winning an appeal I was assigned Westbrook. I was a problem client, I did not wanna wave my sixty day speedy trial rights to give her more time to work on my case all I saw was the thirty months I had been wrongfully imprisoned. Westbrook did her best and actually won my case and got me released from custody. After watching my previous attorney just roll over and show his belly during the first trial, it was refreshing just to see Westbrook fight, veraciously for my rights, to defend me with a tenacity of someone who honestly cares about doing their very best. I would say hands down Westbrook is the best lawyer in Oregon.

I hired Michael G. Palmer of Palmer/George Law firm as my criminal attorney. In a criminal case it is important to establish a time line. Michael’s meticulous attention to detail did just that, allowing for a very congested mound of facts, figures, specifics, and hearsay to all be succinctly aligned to tell a story to the jury. He surrounds himself with a very skilled, efficient, tenacious staff and consultants, who will in turn, benefit you as the client. His staff’s courtroom preparation was spot on and Mr. Palmer’s professional interaction, clear communication to the jury, witness, and judge surpassed all expectations. One hears constant recommendations for him or her as a “good attorney,” but when it comes to Michael G. Palmer, he IS one of the top Criminal Lawyers in the state, and he proves it on a consistent basis.

I have a close friend who was falsely accused of a horrible crime and he and his staff handled the entire case as a real pro and got her an extremely fast acquittal from the jury. Mike is a defense attorney "force to be reckoned with"! Not only is he extremely professional, qualified and experienced, he also has an AMAZING and UNMATCHED presence and demeanor in a trial setting. To quote my husband..."Watching him in the courtroom was mesmerizing....Mike was BORN to do this!" Worth every penny! I have also used Mike myself for a small family law issue but it didn't include a trial or any hearings. I have had other family members use him as well. I highly recommend him!

Dan's law firm helped me with an embarrassing charge for which the prosecuting attorney wanted ten years in prison and at least ten more years of registration, a felony B. At the initial consultation Dan very professionally and courteously outlined a plan how to defend the case. He and his partner Joe Flees fought a long fight to bring it down to an amended charge of a felony D (E on current statutes) with no registration and I got probation. Highly recommended law firm.

I am so thankful I found Steve to help with my federal restitution problem. His knowledge of the federal system is impressive and as a former federal prosecutor, he knows the ins and outs of the system. After thoroughly researching my issue he made sure I completely understood my options and gave me his honest opinion on how best to proceed. I wholeheartedly agreed with him and he was able to quickly resolve my issue. Throughout the process he was a strong and caring advocate for me and was able to resolve my issue for a very fair and reasonable cost. I know the legal system is scary and difficult to understand, but I assure you that Steve will be there for you with good solid legal advice. Best $$ I ever spent.

I needed a lawyer to represent me in a federal case that had experience and would fight to get me the best possible outcome. Steve Jumes, with the law firm Varghese/Summersett, was the right choice for me. Steve has been a prosecutor in the federal system and his first hand knowledge of the system really had an outcome on my sentence. If you are facing the federal system, then Steve is the one you need to help you navigate through what seems impossible.

I never felt rushed or that I was a hassle. I truly felt he was always acting in my best interest and giving me an honest answer. His staff is friendly and responsive.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.

    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.

    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.
