Dan was absolutely amazing helping us to navigate through our bankruptcy. He was very knowledgeable, calming and professional throughout each step of the process. Even after the discharge, he was always helpful and responsive. I certainly don't plan on having to go through that process again, but would definitely turn to Dan again. Highly recommend.

Danial Alter left No stone unturned for my case. I don’t believe I would have won my case without his experience and knowledge in bankruptcy Law but what separates him from other lawyers is that he treats his clients like family. Your problems become his problem and he will not stop till you get the best outcome. If your looking for a bankruptcy lawyer I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Alter.

Me and my parents have hired Amy Delaney to represent us in two different Medicaid applications and for a will and trust. Attorney Amy Delaney fought for us to attain the best outcome allowed under the law. She respects, is considerate, and is highly professional educated at every level. She was the first lawyer I ever hired. When she tells you that she can help you - SHE WILL. When I hired her I thought all was lost but after speaking with her, I finally felt like I had someone who would fight for me. I highly recommend her.

I cannot praise Ms. Delaney highly enough! She is an absolutely amazing attorney, very meticulous, sharp, and detailed oriented, as well as a kind hearted and insightful individual. She is honest and straightforward, taking the time to thoroughly examine the particulars of any situation. She is always on the ball and makes one feel one has gotten the most out of an hour. I have always felt when she arrives she taken time to prepare for issues to be addressed with a diverse background and wealth of knowledge, bringing to the table insights and suggestions I had not considered. Additionally, she takes the time to fully answer any questions sent via emails, without extra charge, which is very reasonable. I have worked with Ms. Delaney for about two years now, and we have gone through the details of multiple issues related to elder law and elder care regarding my parents. With her guidance we have for example addressed the details of Medicaid applications, directing of funds to a particular individual after the sale of a house owned by a relative on Medicaid in order to shield that individual from losing coverage and benefits, as well as the particulars of low income government assistance programs. She would also make sure nursing homes would deduct funds related to parental medical care from monthly social security payments vs. the personal funds of a caregiver, for example. Questions involving social security disability, power of attorney, and the ins and outs of the role of Medicaid in assisted living vs. nursing home, details involving reverse mortgage in relation to Medicaid and ownership of assets, were addressed. Pros and cons of particular government programs, extra help from Medicare, and the ins and outs of such issues as particular types of trusts were also addressed in detail. It is hard to completely disclose all issues addressed, but suffice it to say the numerous particulars of a whole array of situations were addressed in a concise and detailed manner, thanks to Amy's depth of knowledge and experience. As a lady client, I also felt comfortable working with Amy, who has received numerous awards over the years as a renowned and exceptional woman lawyer. Furthermore, I never felt rushed during our sessions, and had the opportunity to not only meet in person but also to speak on the phone if more convenient. I cannot recommend Ms. Delaney highly enough! Her experience, abundance of knowledge and resources, her intelligence and respectful, considerate nature make her an exceptional lawyer to work with. Thank you so much Amy!

My financial planner recommended Jennifer Daniel for estate planning after another local attorney cashed my check and abandoned the process. She has completely exceeded my expectations. Jennifer is bright, articulate, organized, and professional. She spent a considerable amount of time with me in order to individualize the package (will, trust, power of attorney, etc.). This wasn't just a fill-in-the-blank process on a generic template. She took the time to get to know me before she ever generated the documents. All of my concerns were addressed and she helped me understand potential issues to which I had not given adequate - if any - consideration. No one wants to talk about estate planning, but I left our final signing meeting feeling relieved. The process is complete and there should be no questions as to my wishes and intentions. Jennifer has my highest recommendation.

During the hardest time of my life, Jennifer was amazing, helpful, understanding, empathetic, kind, and truly a pleasure working with. She took the time to explain things to me over and over if I did not understand them, and she completely understands the grief process and how we all go through it differently. She never once told me that I was a bother to her and she worked on a personal, yet professional level 100% of the time.

She is very prompt with her responses and always takes care to communicate and follow up. To say the least, I’m glad that I chose her to handle my case.

I hired Atty Bearce for what I thought going in would be a fairly simple, straightforward divorce with most things agreed upon up front. I liked that he had trial experience as well, but never expected it to be necessary in mine. The situation evolved and got a lot more complicated unfortunately. I was very glad to have an experienced attorney, who saw several things coming that I frankly did not. He was always respectful of what I wanted to file for as an outcome, while providing advice on why different things would be a good idea or how they could backfire, while always leaving it ultimately up to me on how to proceed. I could not be more grateful for both the ultimate outcome of the case, or for the professionalism and helpfulness of Atty Bearce throughout the process. He was always on top of things, reachable, and able to explain complex legal concepts in a clear and easy manner. The support staff at the office was equally friendly and helpful. Made a difficult process that much easier. Some specifics involved in my case: a more complicated division of assets, custody division and uniform support orders, discussing a real estate disposition that was definitely non standard, and ultimately having to file for a default judgement when the other party refused to participate in the proceedings. We tried formal mediation but the case was ultimately decided at a trial hearing, something I never expected it to come to at the outset.

Having recently gone through a divorce and the death of a parent, I've had to get my financial house in order. Part of this is estate planning for myself and children. I could not be more satisfied with engaging in this process with Whitney. From the outset, Whitney clearly explained all angles I'd want to consider as we prepared my will and power of attorney documents. Her clear communication and attention to detail made all of this much easier. As a firm, Unruh, Turner, Burke, and Frees has helpful worksheets and booklets that detail the estate planning process. I easily understood what needed to be done on my end. Beyond that, scheduling appointments and dealing with a reschedule went very smoothly. The office experience itself was pleasant; I was treated with courtesy and enjoyed my tea and dark chocolate, as well as the historic building. I didn't think I would enjoy estate planning, but Whitney and her firm exceeded my expectations, and I actually did! I would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone looking for the best possible estate planning experience.

Mark is the most friendly, compassionate, honest, trustworthy, caring, and knowledgeable attorney that I have ever met! Mark was always going above and beyond and always stayed on top of our case! He would consistently update us about our case and he cleared up all the miscommunication that our former attorney caused with us and the city. We were charged with 4 code violations that our tenants created which was unbeknown to us. The case was tied up in court for 3 years because our former attorney caused so much miscommunication between us and the city. When we hired Mark to take over the case. He got all charges dismissed after only 2 court appearances. Throughout the whole process, Mark made us feel safe and stress-free. We definitely felt like we were in good hands! Mark was our superhero and I definitely consider him to be part of my family! I would recommend Mark if you are ever in legal trouble! Thank you Mark for all your hard work!

Eight years ago, my family contracted with Teddy McNamara to amend my father's trust upon his death. Teddy's work back then assured that we returned to him eight years later when my Mom passed away. Teddy was attentive and very responsive in dealing with the administration of my Mom's trust/estate, which involved long-distance tasks/signing papers. In addition, Teddy was very available at all times (particularly on weekends and after hours), and was personable. We shared travel information, which was a welcome diversion from all of the tasks at hand! We greatly appreciated this aspect. Administration of my Mom's estate was timely and quick, which is how I wanted it to be. The only recommendation I would make is that documents be reviewed a bit more thoroughly before going to the client, i.e. spelling and correct names. A quick re-check before sending documents out would probably suffice.

My wife and I consulted with lawyer friends and they recommended Ron highly. After an initial session we knew why. Ron knows his field of Elder law and was able to communicate with us in a manner that made us feel confident in his recommendations and our decisions.

I have called Mital Patel for advice for an aging parent and she was great and told me what we needed to do. I have also referred others and she was able to help them too.

I worked with attorneys for years, but when it came to starting my own business and needing help with setting up my business and making sure I was protected while giving me the best opportunity to succeed I picked Ms. Patel! I cannot thank her enough. I am two years into my new business and couldn’t have done it with her. My fiancé recently went to her after working with other attorneys for his lawn care business for years and was beyond grateful to have met her and he now says she won’t go anywhere else.

I had Jim do my NFA Gun Trust and my family Trust. The NFA Trust was all done online and via email from Hawaii. Zero problems with that process. It was so easy to get done I had him to put together a family Trust. Very easy to work with and excellent service.

Jim made it very easy to set up my trust. He spent close to an hour on the phone with me answering all my questions and explaining every aspect of the trust and how it works. I never felt as though he was trying to rush to get me off the phone. I had my trust set up in a day. I would recommend Jim to anyone wanting to set up a gun trust.

I chose Jim to draft my trust and he did a great job. I've come back for questions multiple times and he always answers and is eager to help. I love that he is involved in the community which he services and it's been a pleasant opportunity to see him at some of the same events I've attended. If you need a trust, I highly recommend Jim.

simply cannot express in words, how one email to Hackard Law, worked miracles! We had a very messy issue with a Trust, no money to pay for legal fees and every attorney we spoke with turned us down without a retainer. Time was ticking and we began to lose faith. Then I found HackardLaw on youtube. Something about Mike Hackard struck me as genuine. We watched his videos and learned why he is the best in Trust litigation. We gave it a shot and sent an email. The very next morning Mike called us promptly,. He understood exactly what we were going through, he understood why we had no money. He said he could help. THE VERY NEXT DAY, Mike flew out from Sacramento to Los Angeles and met us in person. We signed a contingency contract with him after he explained in great detail his plan of action. I didn't check his jacket when we dropped him off at the airport, but this man had to have wings! His name alone, made other attorneys want to mediate right away!!! Hackard Law gave us hope and our dreams back, when we couldnt even raise our chin! If you have an impossible case, or you just need the best.. call Mike Hackard. You will never need another attorney again! Words cannot explain how this one man changed our world.

I've known Mike Hackard as a quality individual since our grade school days together. His breadth of legal and political experience allowed him to see the larger, more complicated picture, to provide important perspective, and to discuss the alternatives reasonably available to us on our case. His willingness to help us at this critical and time-sensitive point is so greatly appreciated. I highly recommend him and his firm!

My wife and I first met Brandon in 2014 and proceeded to contract with him to produce our Living will, Durable POA and related Florida-compatible Advance Directive documents. We've recently reviewed those items with him. We've also sought his counsel and referrals for other professional services as we transition to a structured senior living lifestyle. We continue to be impressed with Brandon's knowledge, integrity, professionalism and genuine compassion. It is obvious he values those personal qualities in his staff as he grows his law office. We highly recommend The Law Office of Brandon Bytnar.

  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?

    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.

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.
