Dana has been terrific in helping our small group prepare our Articles of Incorporation and 501(c)3 request. She has been very patient with our questions. She answered not just what we asked, but also posed questions to make us think deeper about why we were asking. In addition, Dana was able to explain things to us in a way that we understood. Her knowledge and guidance has been instrumental in making our first year a success. I highly recommend Dana for your business legal needs.

Attorney Rittershaus is not only a rare find, but also a delight to work with. I first hired him in 2015, after I exhausted myself with the search for an attorney. When I first met him, I was overwhelmed by his warmth and graciousness, and after that with his dedication to my case, his skillfulness, understanding, and going more than an extra mile for me. Attorney and guardian Angel is golden combination, particularly when it comes to settlements that are not respected by one party. I trusted my ex-husband when it came to a divorce and went to a mediator with him. Hoooowever Ex-husbands with a new wife can have a tendency to not respect alimony settlement, that are done through only a mediator. That is particularly so, if they have their own company and can maneuver money around. Ethan produced exactly the result I wished for, even though the case ended up more difficult than originally expected, and my ex had hired an attorney who had far more years of experience than Attorney Rittershaus. My particular wish was to have the case conducted with love and respect. That was the main reason I was not able to hire another attorney. Well, I got all that I wished for and even more. I hired attorney Rittershaus again recently, and he surprised me even more. I was not in the US and needed Documents in Germany, and I needed them fast. He did the impossible and in the most speedy manner. I also needed a letter stating a certain Law in the US. Attorney Rittershaus composed that letter with elegance, and in a most excellent manner. The letter was written as if he is both an American and a German Attorney. He provided even references in the German Law system, that corresponded to my Case! What was even more surprising, was the speedy manner in which the Documents arrived in spite of all the obstacles that the outbreak of Covit 19 brought about. Now I am hiring again, for yet another case, and so very appreciative to have him as my attorney again. I know the praise I sing for Attorney Rittershaus may be hard to believe. However, once you meet him in Person, you will see that I have hardly praised attorney Rittershaus Enough!

There are simply not enough superlatives to describe what an exceptional attorney Ethan Rittershaus has shown himself to be. Mine is an unusual and complicated case, but Attorney Rittershaus is undaunted by it's challenges and remains undeterred, despite a regrettable vocal outburst on my part, but which he graciously took in stride. That is just how amazing he really is. He is dedicated to fairness and works tirelessly to achieve justice. My case requires intense research which he accomplishes in a timely manner. He stays in touch with me to keep me apprised of the issues concerning this litigation and to actually listen to my concerns going forward. My case has yet to be heard in court, but I have every confidence in Attorney Rittershaus as he is most dedicated to the practice of law and helping his clients above and beyond the calling of his profession. In summary, Attorney Rittershaus exemplifies the very best in our justice system and one may have complete confidence and trust with his representation.

Attourney Rittershaus is an exceptional find with whom I have consulted with extensively over a difficult family law matter. With a dynamic understanding of the law, he has a sensible and pragmatic approach to getting the job done. He is quick, astute, and delved directly into the heart of my case. On a personal level, attorney Rittershaus is gifted with the personal touch, and a good heart. He listens better than any lawyer with whom I have worked with over with the years, and attorney Rittershaus holds himself to high ethical standards.

We hired Mr Whitney from AndersonGlenn LLC to represent us and our Special Needs daughter who was forcibly masked by tying it on with a nylon cord. His passion for the vulnerable was very moving for us as parents. He believed in us, our cause of action and fought hard for our family to receive justice. Due to his and his team’s efforts we were able to secure a settlement after a long battle in Federal Court. Thank you Nick! If we ever need faithful representation again, we know the only attorney who we will call.

As I work with Nick over the last year I found him to be conscientious and was able to relay necessary actions to me in a precise and communicative way. He is professional and precise yet a comforting advisor during a difficult time. He has a wide berth of knowledge of the law and in my case he was able to work with the consortium of the lawyers to help us arrive at the very best conclusion.

Courtney guided me through the most difficult experience I have had to date as an LCSW: an unfounded board complaint. The first attorney that I hired only made a bad situation worse; in contrast, Courtney provided me with sound sophisticated legal advice. After reviewing my case, which was unfortunately quite complicated, she identified and simplified the most important aspects of the complaint. Courtney was a tremendous help when I prepared my statement for the board hearing; she stayed in close communication with me and always responded in a quick and supportive manner. Her edits and suggestions strengthened my narrative, highlighting the essential truths of my case. Of course appearing before my board was stressful; however, I felt confident that I could effectively communicate with them and resolve the the problem. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and intelligent attorney and prefer one who has an empathic easy manner then you have found her! She will forever have my gratitude.

Mr. Jewell was extremely helpful during a security clearance adjudication and subsequent appeal. A medical provider in the Air Force had rendered a harsh evaluation, and Mr. Jewell helped build, review, and submit responses to the Department of Defense Consolidated Adjudications Facility (DOD CAF). Although my clearance was revoked, Mr. Jewell continued working and engaging through the appeal process. He provided timely and accurate information on both the clearance adjudication and appeal processes. Developing a plan for a second medical evaluation and separate medical opinion, Mr. Jewell helped my case be successfully appealed and my security clearance reinstated. He was always responsive when called or emailed, even through roughly 20 months of the clearance adjudication and appeal process. Although military members can self-represent in the process, Mr. Jewell backing my response submissions gave me great peace of mind, especially when it felt that I was being outcast by the entire base medical community. I also felt that my leadership took my case more seriously when notified that I had hired an attorney. I would never want anyone to go through the same experience, but I sincerely appreciate all the help, effort, and support from Mr. Jewell over such an extended time frame. It was very comforting and uplifting to know at least one person truly believed my side of events, and he was willing and capable to prove the facts.

He reviewed my contract and in the end I was offered either termination of my contract or a much lower rate and no fees at all if I decided to stay! Mr. Corcoran was very prompt and professional. I would suggest him to ANYONE who is needing legal help! I really liked the fact that he took my small problem and not only made it a priority but made me feel at ease during the process.

Another case involved trailer repair work performed for customer who would not pay. Not able to collect. Another case involved contract to trade a diesel farm tractor to former employee in exchange for lawn maintenance services -- which were not provided. Unable to repossess or to collect as ruled by small claims court magistrate. Steve did the best he could given the circumstances of these cases.

I my case I was arrested for possession of cocaine under 1 g and a misdemeanor Xanax charge. So I was looking at a felony and a misdemeanor. I have had a previous felony in another state which we all thought was going to be a factor in the final outcome. Channing being quick to move was able to get the misdemeanor dropped and the felony was dropped down to a misdemeanor. The reason that this was a great outcome was because I did have a previous felony. Whether you have the disease of addiction that has you caught up or you just got in trouble I would recommend Channing Neary. I believe that she takes every case is very personal and I believe she is very competitive. If I don't see fire in a lawyer I damn sure won't hire. She is straight up and I'll tell you how it is and extremely polite and kind at the same time. But when she gets in that courtroom then it's showtime because she knows your life depends upon it!

Mr. Wainwright is straight up honest. He is the most upstanding professional in Parker County. He will fight for your rights and not just settle. I know it sounds like a Dinosaur how ever he is an Attorney that cares about you. If you need an Attorney in Parker County or other areas hire Mr. Wainwright. Before hiring an Attorney go sit in on the District Court cases. You will see Attorneys in their wrinkled suites sitting on the wood fence and edges of the tables laughing and joking, I am assuming talking about the new toys they will be buying with your money. THEN YOU will see Mr. Wainwright all polished and paying attention to every detail waiting for the opportunity to represent you in the way that you have trusted and hired in him. He does not disappoint. He will fight for what he believes in. And if that is you then you need not to look any further as he is the best Attorney in Parker County.

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.

Chris did an outstanding job. I had met with two other lawyers but Chris by far came out on top. He made me feel my case was important and he was going to do what was needed to get the results period. There wasn't a lot of fluff it was to the point and professional. That professionalism carried into the court room and I realized even more that I had made the right choice. Chris is truthful when talking with you, and I felt he handled himself professional and with integrity.

Chris Smith performed an exemplary job in my case. While most attorneys would have simply showed up in court and taken the first deal the DA threw out, Chris came prepared. Was able to challenge the citation, and ultimately get it next to dropped. More importantly I never felt like I was a number, or just hours getting booked. Kept me informed and educated thru the whole process!

In April of this year I was arrested and charged with two felonies that I did not commit. I spent 40 long hours in jail and while I was there my wife received a referral for the Seattle law firm McKay-Chadwell and I'm so thankful she did. My legal fate was placed in the professional, capable hands of attorney Patrick "Pat" Preston. From our initial meeting I was very impressed with Pat's professionalism, attention to detail, and sincerity. He helped me to get through the worst 4 months of my life. Pat is gifted in his ability to look through Discovery that has been submitted by the prosecution, sift through the nonsense and laser focus on key points that help his clients, in this case, myself. Pat Preston has worked on the prosecution side so he has a keen insight into their motivations, tactics, and strategies. When I hired Mckay-Chadwell and Pat Preston, I was in desperate need of somebody to defend me and that's exactly what Pat did, he defended me when I needed it the most. Thanks to the tremendous criminal defense abilities of Mckay-Chadwell and Pat Preston, ALL charges against me were dismissed, which is the result I deserved and had hoped for. I would highly recommend Mckay-Chadwell and attorney Patrick Preston to anyone who finds themselves in a legal predicament.

Andrea M. Ewart, Esq. deserves the highest rating on a scale. We were in very desperate situation when our container with household belongings had been detained by US customs and our previous verbal communications with no less than three (customs, freight forwarders & inspection facility) separate groups worsened the situation. It was a real change when Andrea took our case. Andrea is extremely wise and brilliant. She managed nothing short of a miracle with our container. Our estimation of charges without her are conservative at four times the bill we ended with. It’s a frightful experience with little sleep when everything you own is in limbo (almost 40 days) and getting no answers. Andrea brought answers fast and with the answers came comfort and ultimately results! Retaining her services cost us a fraction of what our bill is and saved us from an outrageous bill well over what all in the container was monetary worth. Andrea has Integrity & Experience and gave us Results, we give without reservation our highest recommendation. Thanks again Andrea all the best to you! John & Elena

I went to anne scared and nervous, I just didn't want to hire any lawyer. I've hired a lawyer before that was just about the money and did not care about my case. The first thing that I noticed about anne is that she listened. she put her phone away and closed her laptop and listen to my story. After I was done she explain the steps that she would take to solve my case, then asked if I would like to hire her to represent me. my case she was always honest with me even if it was good or bad. She kept me informed on all the little details, and most of all she did not make me feel pressured.she is more than just a lawyer she is a caretaker and I will go to her for all my legal advice. P.S.

I was let go from a previous job in a rather messy fashion. So messy, that many lawyers weren't even interested in the case. When the mess extended and overturned my unemployment benefits, the lawyer I had previously hired stopped representing me. With the deadline to appeal looming within only a week, I was at the end of my rope. Then, I was put in touch with Jeffrey Varszegi. Jeffrey worked tirelessly, before even deciding whether he should take my case. He didn't have much experience in unemployment law, had to review the load of technicalities and documentation I provided, and had little time to decide whether or not he could defend me to the utmost. Within a day, he knew that I had a case-- a case he would be confident in defending. In the months before a judgement was offered, I knew that Jeff had worked his utmost on my case and was already satisfied with his dedication. The months were tiring, and the case had its twists and surprises. Lo and behold, Jeff's expert review of legal decisions, incisive reasoning, expert writing, and persusasive explanations led to my case being decided in my favor, after years of faltering. I'm honored and proud to have had Jeffrey represent me, would consider him first in the future, and I would recommend him to anyone who is willing to value his talent as an attorney.

He represented me in an EEO dispute with my employer. They were playing very dirty & trying to destroy a professional reputation I spent more than 10 years building. The employer used lies, manipulations such as pressuring my subordinates to file complaints about me or loose their own jobs to create a reason to fire me because I refused to participate in the illegal & unethical business practices my superiors were demanding I participate in. Mr. Beckham worked tirelessly to protect my job & my reputation by hitting the agency & the corrupt leadership from every angle possible, to include involving Congress & other federal officials in the matters that pertained to my employer's deliberate violations relating to federal laws & policies to include their attempts to force me to misuse taxpayer money. Without Mr. Beckham's foresight and preparations of ten steps ahead of their next moves, I would have been another statistic of the whistle blower that got stomped by "the man". But I am not, in fact I was compensated for the hell they put me through, the lies in my records were removed & the actions taken by this attorney had far reaching consequences for the leadership members who perpetrated this attack as the agency has now three years later been cleaned out of most of the major players at that federal agency.

I was lucky enough to be represented by Mr. Beckham in a criminal appeal (along with several other people he was representing in similar cases). I had been fined and sentenced to jail time beyond what was allowed by the law. Mr. Beckham did not stand for this! I learned, though my experience with him, that he is an honest and hardworking attorney who fights to get the best possible outcome for everyone he serves. He definitely proved this by the work he did my case (and from what I saw him do at the Court of Appeals in the other cases he argued on the same day). I was amazed when he prepared a 25-page written argument, on my behalf, which turned out to be irrefutable! And, when it came to the oral arguments in my case, he did an outstanding job when he took on the 3-Judge Panel at the Cheyenne River Sioux Court of Appeals. This is a hardworking attorney who I believe is a great legal thinker; it shows in his writing and arguing skills. I was lucky to have him in my corner fighting for me - I won.

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.
