Mary Melech is beyond outstanding! I was so proud to have an educated, poised, beautiful, passionate and professional woman stand by me and represent me at trail. She came in prepared and ready to preform and was she a class act. We knew we were walking into the lions den (because my soon to be ex-husband is a sheriff and a very difficult person to deal with!) and to top things off my judge was a tough one to conceive. I was overwhelmed and filled with emotions, but to instill me with the confidence I needed before my court, Mary took the time to meet with me on a Sunday afternoon and was extremely patient. She made sure I understood everything. Choosing an attorney can be difficult and a scary thing because your having to trust someone that you've never met with your life. I prayed that God place the right person in my path and it was Mary Melech that was my blessing. Being strong in my faith and having the right attorney was Victory!!!!! Hellehuiah Thank you Jesus.

I was notified 4 days before my court date that my son's mother acquired a lawyer for our custody battle, so I met with Mary the next day and I can say it was the best decision I've made for my battle. She diligently helped me gain more custody of my son, she has an amazing personality and I am very happy with the work she has put time and effort into for my case. I would recommend her to anyone who wants someone who can relate to your circumstances of your fight. And for a lawyer that will help you fight for your rights and time with your children.

I shopped around a lot for a case involving a nasty custody battle with my ex husband. After several meetings with different attorneys I trusted my instinct and went with Mary. Based on the severity of my situation, this was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Mary was honest with me about the circumstances of my case and the likelihood of my success, unlike others who promised me I would get everything. Her prediction was exactly on point for what I had received in court. Despite being against a very smooth talking jerk (my ex and his fancy lawyers), we still prevailed. I would recommend Mary to anyone who wants an honest assessment of their case, and a real fighter for their case. Thanks so much!

Following a serious car accident, I consulted with John Orton regarding my injuries and possible insurance settlement. He immediately impressed me with his expertise with other cases similar to mine, his strong ethics, and his honest, supportive manner. After hiring John, he walked me through every step of the legal process, was always prepared for meetings, and returned my phone calls promptly. My stress from the accident was reduced significantly knowing that John was personally handling my case and all the insurance and legal issues it entailed. John was able to obtain an excellent settlement for me. I strongly recommend John Orton to others who need an experienced and successful personal injury attorney.

John did a great job presenting the facts and defending me when my neighbor was shot. This required outside the box thinking that John did well. As Defense lawyers go, I would put him in close to the top 10%. A good lawyer is not cheap, but will worth it in our corrupt Justice system. John and I worked as a team, which I liked since it was my future at stake. John got to know me as a person and not just a name (or checking account number). He was open to my ideas on how to prove the accusers were lying. One must realize that lawyers are also actors and must impress the jury. John was good. I would use him again if I needed an attorney.

I would definitely recommend Lyn. I had Lyn file a motion for an early termination of my probation after I was told by parole and probation I wasn't going to be able to be released early. Lyn was very nice and very professional. She had my motion filed very quickly and about a month after our initial meeting she had already recieved the court order terminating my probation and dismissing my charges. Her price was very reasonable. She was very responsive and kept me up to date on every aspect of my case. If ever in the future I am in need of an attorney, Lyn would be the first one I would call.

Mark represented me in 2010 on a criminal case involving charges that included aggravated assault and possession of an unlawful weapon. He was extremely honest, open and real. My mother and I consulted with a few attorneys, but instantly retained Mark based off of our gut feeling upon our first meeting with him. He was extremely reasonably-priced and when the very emotional week of trial time came, I don't think that he slept either. He impressed my family and I so much that even on the final sleepless night that the jury was out on deliberation, my mother, mommom, and I all agreed no matter the outcome the next morning, we couldn't have asked for more. Mark blew our minds away with his intelligence and experience and far exceeded our expectations. Even the court interpreter was in tears when I was found NOT GUILTY on ALL charges. I put my life and future in Mark's hands, and I would do so again in a heartbeat.

James Parker is the main individual responsible for my victory in my small claims case. Although he advised me to represent myself based on the amount I was seeking, he devoted time to preparing me to do so knowing he had nothing to gain in return. I was a nervous wreck and was having difficulty sleeping due to the stress of trying to navigate the intricacies of my case, school, and work. James reduced my anxiety by encouraging me to pursue my case although the defendant had obtained a lawyer, directing me to the correct legal codes to make my case, and helping me understand what was expected of me as a pro se litigant. I went into the courtroom equipped with the knowledge he shared with me and was able to participate in jury selection, make my opening statements, testify, successfully object to a question, cross examine, and close. James did not stop there. He took the initiative to follow up on my case and gave me a call to congratulate me on my victory. You may think that any lawyer could have helped me do all of this, but I’m a firm believer in the notion that you can judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. For that reason, I wouldn’t want just any lawyer to help me I would want to work with James.

I was referred to Mr. Parker and was lucky to get him on the phone the first call. I told him my situation and he patiently and graciously gave me solution immediately; over the phone.

Thad Minaldi is a very fine lawyer. Having known him and his family for many years, I was not surprised to see how he handles legal matters in a personal and professional way. My family lost our father and our mother and was in need of a lawyer to handle the successions. Thad managed this process working with me and five siblings in a respectful and expeditious manner. He was easy to contact, prompt in his answers to our questions, and diplomatic working with six different personalities. His legal knowledge is impressive. He makes good and honest judgments and helped all six of us come to a consensus on many matters of the succession. I would without hesitation recommend Thad as an honest, sincere, and hard-working lawyer.

Mr. Thad Minaldi was referred to me by another excellent and trusted attorney from another state. This attorney knew of Mr. Minaldi’s stellar work and reputation. I remain grateful for this referral. In my 40-year career I have consulted numerous attorneys for personal and professional reasons. Mr. Minaldi ranks among the best. While I was working from another state Mr. Minaldi and I communicated primarily via email and occasional phone calls. This worked extremely well. Mr. Minaldi was a clear and prompt communicator. I appreciated his clear and detailed invoices. His fees were fair. Additionally, he was simply a pleasant gentleman to work with. He expertly guided me through a multiyear challenging real estate situation. While this may seem trivial to some, his assisting me to differentiate between business decisions and legal decisions was most beneficial. While I was Mr. Minaldi’s client, those to whom I had fiduciary responsibilities were extremely grateful for his work with me. Mr. Minaldi has my highest recommendation.

I was battling for the removal of a General Officer Memo of Reprimand from early 2008. This GOMOR was filed in my Official Records preventing promotion and prompting a Show-Cause for Retention or Elimination. After 2 failed attempts with Active Duty Legal Counsel assistance appealing through the Department of Army Suitability and Evaluations Board, I decided to interview non-Military Lawyers for a final appeal through the Army Board of Corrections for Military Records. After the initial phone interview I knew he was just the right Lawyer for my purposes. As my last chance for promotion was nearing, Mr. Stockdale assisted me with excellent guidance on how to best argue my case for relief. I was expecting to hear results in 10-12 months, but was elated to discover that within 5 months, the ABCMR granted me FULL RELIEF!

Once I learned that I was being falsely accused, Mr. Kopka and his paralegal acted swiftly, helping me gather all the necessary information to build my defense. On the day of my hearing, Mr. Kopka's performance at the administrative separation board was nothing short of impressive. He demonstrated extensive knowledge of my case and the legal process, and within 15 minutes of the closing statements, I was unanimously vindicated and retained, with the board finding no basis for the charges against me. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Even before the verdict was announced, I felt confident and at peace, knowing that Mr. Kopka had delivered a stellar defense. My only regret is not being able to give him more than five stars. Thank you, Mr. Kopka, for everything.

Eric and Frederique provided exceptional service on our case. They consistently addressed our questions and guided us through every step of the process. On the day we were awaiting the final decision, I was impressed by Eric's level of preparation. He had meticulously organized folders with supporting evidence, conducted practice sessions with us, and was transparent about the potential outcomes. Eric and his team demonstrated intelligence, expertise, and diligence throughout. We couldn't be more pleased with the results.

My really good friend was falsely accused and convicted at a court martial because he had poor legal representation from the military. I encouraged him to seek a civilian lawyer who specializes in military law. Eric Kopka and his firm was highly recommended by another good military friend of mine who had used him and had a favorable outcome. My friend hired Eric and his team to represent him at his administrative separation board. Eric and his team had three months to prepare for the board in hopes that they could appeal to the members for a possible favorable discharge or best case, retention of service in the USMC. Eric’s preparedness, attention to every detail and superior military wisdom not only proved my friend was innocent on all accounts but was able to be retained for service even after the conviction. I highly recommend Eric and his firm. It was the best decision made to hire him. If you’re looking for military representation there is no doubt in my mind that Eric is the best candidate.

The force is strong with Ridley Defense. After calling a few different offices we decided to go with Ridley defense to handle our case. Ola was so attentive and responsive. Doug was patient with us, took the time to explain our options, and seemed genuinely sympathetic to our situation . The end result could not have been better and it's all because of Ridley Defense.

It's a hard pill to swallow when you come to a point where you must debate on whether you should file for bankruptcy or not. After weighing all possible options, I decided to file and was referred to Robert Fox. It had started as an initial phone call with quick questions regarding your income, your debt and your expenses. This is what they call the Means test. After answering all the questions, I was told I was a "good" candidate to file. We then proceeded to schedule a future date to talk again going into further details about my debt and expenses. What was really nice for me was i asked if we should talk over the phone or meet in person. Robert said it was my preference and really didn't mind if I chose either way. He understood that people were busy and couldn't always make time to travel to his office. However, he did suggest that meeting in person would be more personable. That right away made me feel a bit more relieved during the process. It gave me a sense of security in knowing he wanted to do his job and do it right. And if it meant putting a face to a file, then i was all for it. On my office visit, I was greeted by Iris at the front desk. (Please pay attention to her. She is another instrumental person in the process). Very pleasant and nice lady. After meeting with Robert and getting all the things done during our discussion, Iris gave me papers to look over and sign and gave me my list of things to do over the next couple of days. She also told me she would be in contact with me from time to time til my hearing. And in the days leading up to my hearing, she always gave me detailed instructions on everything and anything. Don't worry, Robert was always available for me whenever I had any questions. Now one thing before I end my review. You, as the client, must do everything asked of you by Robert and Iris if you want the whole process to go smoothly and without a hitch. If you do your part, and do it right, they can do theirs correctly. Robert and Iris, thank you for everything. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you again.

Unacceptable experience. See my feedback below to the firm after having an awful experience on what was a very simple request. "The manner in which your firm has been communicating with me is bizarre and almost robotic...On top of that, there was no material explanation as to why such fees would be necessary. For your reference, I reached out to two of your competitors, all of which promptly responded to me via email with a normal conversation and discussion that involved a human back and forth with questions, and elaboration on my request. It was refreshing. Secondly, the potential fees of up to 4 hours for $550/hour for a reaffirmation were referred to as "ridiculous" not only by your competitors, but from other out-of-state counsel that I have worked with in the past. On top of that, some of which offered alternatives that require no fees whatsoever. In conclusion, the manner in which you conduct business and communicate is not only seemingly fee-driven instead of sincerely helping the needs of a potential client, but also not a fit for me."

So, I have a very challenging case. It spans two states and two different courts in Riverside County. Did I mention a very challenging Ex? Long story short, Valarie (probate area of practice) and Carolyn (family law) are amazing. They have fought tooth and nail for me. Let me be clear….this is not a “discount” law firm. The old adage, you get what you pay for. I needed competent hard working lawyers. Lawyers who knew the ins and out of each issue. That is what I got. Their guidance was/is worth every penny. These two women are amazing and I am so thankful for finding them. I can’t speak for anything outside of family law or probate, but I can tell you if you have an issue in these two areas, use them.

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.
