I am incredibly grateful to NW Liberty for their outstanding legal representation. They were professional, efficient, and prompt with updates, keeping me informed. Living out of state, I was concerned about the logistics of handling my case, but they made the entire process smooth. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my case was dismissed without me having to travel back for court. They truly go above and beyond for their clients!

My case was very complex, beyond scary for me and in a different state (not in GA). I came across Foss and his firm when doing a search for sexsomnia. From the minute that we started speaking he made me feel understood, heard and started putting me at ease. His partners were amazing as well. Their methodical approach was world class and I found Foss's practical intelligence to only be surpassed by his emotional intelligence. His understanding of the people involved in the case, that he never even met, was uncanny. Foss and his partners were able to secure a complete exoneration in short order and get me my life back.

Foss was very thorough in everything he did from investigation to validating facts to learning the personalities of the court and DA. He obviously had learned much over his years in practice and had a plan, but was not so rigid that he did not adjust with the situation. Always thinking ahead, he was prepared for different possibilities in each instance. A very intelligent gentleman who used good manners and remained calm at every turn. He was interested in hearing our input about the case and answering any questions we had. He communicated, even over communicated, to make sure we understood. Although the case was long, he was just as engaged at the end as at the beginning. We felt like we mattered to him as people and not just another win he could chalk up. We hope to never need his services again, but wouldn't hesitate a moment to engage him if the need arose.

After some searching, I found Foss Hodges and set up a time and an interview. Foss wanted to meet the entire family and the friends anyone who could show up, Foss began to introduce himself and more importantly wanted to know about me and my family. Foss cared it was the first time I had spoken to someone who wanted to actually hear from my family and was willing to speak with them about the case to help ease any confusion we may have. Also, a huge plus was he wanted to work with experts, and he had some of his own including wanting to give the one I had in mind a call and to at least learn with them. Foss gave us a checklist to do with everything he needed and as well as anything we thought would help him in any way. Then we went to work, we were a team working towards one goal and that was to prove my innocence and to put my family back together. Foss Hodges first act of business is very unique, it's to stop and indictment if it hasn’t been indicted already. He states very clearly, I can't promise you anything but the fact I will give you the best effort and I am going to put in the work. Any lawyer that tells you they can promise you a dropped case or an innocent verdict is something to pay attention to because that is not a thing. Foss then asks me to take a polygraph and then came to my house personally to do a walk through and see my house and exactly how the incident transpired. Foss took the extra steps to fully understand what happened and educated himself about the step by step instead of just taking my statement and that’s it. Foss wants to be there and see it with his own eyes, then after that he wants to try to meet the District Attorney to stop the Indictment if possible. We waited a year and a half it felt like before the DA responded to him then she would talk about meeting and then leave the office and someone else would get the case, or it would be “lost” for a few months then a new DA would take it and not respond to him all over again. Foss was persistent and never stopped with the correspondence to try to get a meeting to show the binder he built with all of his hard work and the expert testimonies with the polygraph test and all the Character reference letters with photos of the family and all. Foss kept my family updated and was very frequent with phone calls and if you had a rough time, you could just call him to talk, he was there for me and my wife in a time where we didn’t know what to do. Foss fought for my life for 3 years he won a bond modification to get me home to my family then 8 months later he went on to meet with the DA over my case and she dropped all charges over a six-minute phone call with my wife. Foss Hodges gave me my life back I have never seen anyone care or work so hard for anyone in my life, he was exceeding and doing things every lawyer I worked with before was just not there. I would trust Foss hodges with my life again and I am telling you if you are uncertain about the situation you are in and if you are reading this, I know your scared like I was. Please just give him a call and at the very least listen to what he has to say let him hear your story and then let him work for you like he did for me. He can't promise you the same outcome as me but that’s what he told me too and here I am writing this review after being free from the nightmare with a healthy family working on my master's because of this man. I owe him my life.

Often times I was out of touch and my wife’s English was not very good at the time but they were patient and understanding. When we were a bit worked up, they took the time to put our worries at ease. Absolutely would recommend.

Faith Is an excellent Attorney, Her Paralegal Kimberly is also “Great”. I was kept up to date through the whole divorce process. I am a retired Associate Court Clerk with the New York State Courts. I knew a lot of judges and Attorneys back in New York. I knew the type of Attorney I was looking for. I read Faith’s online reviews and liked what I read. I made an appointment with Faith. I had a lot of issues that required a competent Attorney. I found Faith to be honest, reliable and caring. She explained to me the difference between going to trial or settlement negotiations. I ended up going to arbitration and Faith handled my case professionally and we came to an agreement that I was happy with.. I highly recommend Faith Brown as a divorce Attorney.

This was a complicated and and at times an adversarial divorce. Faith and Kim were amazing during the entire process. They were available to answer any questions and explain the legal terms, motions, and actions fully. Faith advocated for me and ensured my legal rights were protected. Faith had an extensive knowledge regarding alimony state laws and she was able to collaborate with opposing counsel to reach a fair an equitable property division with my ex spouse. I have the utmost confidence in Faith even when things seemed their bleakest.

Faith Brown is honest, wise, and concise. Her ability to analyze the facts of the case and law through a compassionate but realistic framework is mitigating the pain and trauma that can occur through legal representation and the process. By refraining from legalese salesmanship she has saved me time, money, and aggravation.

Teresa Beyers is a go-to for your divorce and family law needs. I have read some reviews and disagree with the very few bad reviews. She has a ton of knowledge and a great ability to navigate a divorce case. Many reviews are written about charging too much for a divorce, but people don't understand she is more reasonable than most. Divorce is never cheap, Teresa will get you what you want and then some.

I suffered a spine injury as the result of a T-bone car crash, the other driver at fault. We got nothing but gutter-ball offers from her insurance company. What you hear on the radio is true – the insurance companies simply will not take your case seriously until you file a suit. This is where I was glad to have Ken and his team on my side. The burden to convince a jury of my losses lies with me the plaintiff, which then requires conducting extensive research, gathering and organizing supporting documents. After Ken submitted all of this material during the pre-trial discovery the insurance company decided to make a reasonable settlement offer.

Mark Dunevant was recommended to me by a long-time friend and her lawyer husband after I was served with papers in a civil suit. I found Mark to be very professional and thorough in all my dealings with him. He was fair in his assessment of my case and many times told me things I did not want to hear, but ultimately his counsel was always correct. Mark explained any legalese in a manner that a layman like me could understand, but was never condescending. He is friendly, personable, and very capable. I firmly believe the plaintiff's lawyer was outmatched by Mr. Dunevant, which, over time, contributed greatly to a mutually agreed upon settlement between the two parties. I highly recommend Mark without reservation to anyone looking for an exceptional legal representative and advocate for your cause.

Divorce is the most emotional, heartbreaking and gut wrenching times someone can endure. Having the best lawyer on your team makes all the difference in the world! Mark Dunevant is hands down the best divorce lawyer in the area! Mark helped make a difficult time bearable. He listened, guided, and fought for me to have the best outcome possible. After an almost 27 year marriage ended in divorce, Mark helped secure my future financially! In negotiating with the opposing attorney he was calm and confident even when my emotions were not! He knew when to push for more and when to encourage me to take advantage of a negotiated decision. He helped me settle my divorce without going to court and come away with more to secure my future! He was never afraid of going to court knowing my case was strong and I would have a good outcome. I can’t thank Mark enough and I highly recommend him to anyone that is going through a divorce!

My son and I were in an auto accident July 2023. I reached out to several firms before I came across Foster Wallace online. After reading many reviews from other clients I knew this was the right firm to go with. Michael Foster was very caring, professional and responsive from beginning to end. He always made time to check in with us or answer any questions that we had. All of my text and emails were always answered almost immediately and if he wasn’t available, he’d set a time to be available to answer any questions. He even stopped by my office just to check in. It meant a lot that he would take the time out just to stop in. The entire team was very helpful and professional. This was my first auto accident and didn’t really know what to expect, but I had full confidence that Michael would get the best result for my son and I. Which left me worry free. He did not fail! If you’re in need of a tentative, knowledgeable and caring attorney Foster Wallace and their team are the best. Michael, thank you again for your help! We truly appreciate you!

From our first contact with Michael, where he took the time to fully understand our situation, to the very end, they were consistently responsive to our concerns—whether it was after hours or on the weekend. The financial outcome that this firm was able to secure for my family was beyond our expectations. However, what truly stood out to us was the exceptional level of service, the genuine care, and the unwavering commitment to making us feel heard and fought for. This personal attention and dedication were invaluable. A heartfelt thank you to Michael, Claudia, Tonia, Abbie, and the entire Foster & Wallace team. Your hard work and support meant the world to us.

I want to take a moment to highly recommend Foster Wallace for anyone in need of an attorney. After my car accident, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to do, but Brian immediately put me at ease. He was incredibly attentive, always making sure I was okay and thoroughly explaining each step of the process involved in resolving my case. What stood out the most was how helpful he was in answering all of my questions. No matter how small or complex my concerns were, he took the time to ensure I fully understood my options and felt comfortable moving forward. His professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care made a challenging situation so much more manageable. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also truly cares about their clients' well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Brian Wallace, Michael Foster and their incredible team. Their advice and expertise were really valuable and exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation during such a difficult time.

I highly recommend Immigration General Counsel, specifically Attorney Raj, for his outstanding work on the employment-based immigration case. Raj's expertise and dedication were invaluable throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, Raj and his team maintained exceptional communication, keeping me informed at every stage. His transparency and honesty were truly appreciated, as there were no surprises or hidden fees. The pricing was straightforward and fair, with no unexpected costs. Raj's hard work and attention to detail were evident in the success of my case. I am grateful for his expertise and guidance, which made the process much less stressful and more manageable. I highly recommend Immigration General Counsel to anyone seeking professional immigration representation. Thank you, Raj, for your tireless efforts on my behalf!

It is with great pleasure to write the following on behalf of the law firm of Felix and Killen. Upon meeting Daniella Felix, it was quite evident that I was meeting an attorney who was willing to hear my story of the auto accident in which I was injured. Though I had never experienced such a moment, Daniella listened with great concern as to what had occurred. In explaining to Daniella what had happened, I noticed that she was very compassionate and wanted to be sure that I was receiving care for my injury. Once it was decided that Daniella and her partner, Bryce Kellen would take my case, my wife and I felt assured that we would be in good hands with their firm. Daniella took the lead of our case and proceeded to ask of details and proceed with her investigation. She once again wanted to be sure that I was receiving proper care above all. She contacted the other party’s Insurance Company and took care of all the necessary details so that I may focus on my medical care. She also contacted my Medical Provider so they would know who should be billed for the expenses incurred. All in all, I could not have found a better Law Firm than Felix and Kellen. Daniella worked tirelessly to handle all our legal issues, during this traumatic time for my wife and I. She was very professional and above all was extremely compassionate in assisting us during this period. We are very happy how things have turned out and Thank You very, very much Daniella Felix. We hope to see you again under more pleasurable circumstances! Art R.

Intelligent, Professional, Practical and Always Ahead of the Game! I retained Jason Roth for a divorce matter. It was a very difficult time for me because my family was struck by a tragedy at the same time and I had no energy to deal with anything else. Mr. Roth was very sympathetic, understanding and very flexible. I liked his candid and straight forward conversation style, he does not hesitate to paint a picture for a client in real colors of life and reality, at the same time he is quick to think outside of the box how to bridge those tough spots with applicable law and right strategy. Any of my calls or emails were always answered within minutes and I felt very secure that I had trustworthy and competent professionals on my side.

As you will agree, preparing and filing for divorce is a difficult and stressful time. Finding a good and trustworthy lawyer is critical and equally daunting. After 28 years of marriage I was very much there. I selected two lawyers based on strong reviews. Left a message for both. Jason called back in less than 5 minutes. He took time to listen to my case and patiently addressed all my questions. We had a follow-up call. Again, he was calm, thorough and took time to set very clear expectations of what was to come. I decided to go with him. Over the coming months, Jason always made time for me, never once rushed me, always proactive and continued to respond within minutes, even to my non-urgent emails over the weekend and while on vacation. From a skill perspective he is exemplary, providing guidance and consistently striking that balance between being empathetic and offering fact-based guidance. He was always quick to tell me if my expectations were too high or let me know if I was giving too much. He was my counsel and shrink, sometimes just listening and at other times offering guidance and support. So many things can go wrong with this process, so many uncontrollable elements but with his diligent approach and stellar communication, Jason maintained credibility and control. Right to the end, there were no surprises, at least not in a bad way! From the time I signed to the video call for final judgement of divorce, I felt supported and knew exactly what to expect. Following his advice, I feel that the entire process was smooth and fair. Jason is kind, empathetic, effective and incredibly trustworthy. I’m not one to write reviews, but previous reviews from others helped me find the right representation and I felt compelled to write this up. I am hoping this will help others in the future. Thank you, Jason!

I had a lengthy property settlement & divorce. And it was because of her that we were able to keep it as amicable as possible. She first helped me through the Property Settlement. Followed by guiding me through the Divorce that followed. Patience was the key to my particular situation. But I know ifthe situation had called for more feistiness, she would have been right at my side for that, too. Everything is finalized now. And I know things would have been far worse and more stressful if I hadn't had her in my corner. Everyone at NOVA Legal Professionals that I've spoken with is kind and knowledgeable. I spoke most often with Corrie and Brenda Membreno (paralegal). Separation and divorce are, by their nature, unpleasant and emotional situations. But they were amazing at helping that sometimes complicated situation feel less overwhelming. She was the only attorney I have ever hired on my own, for any situation. But I did a lot of research before I did so and I read a lot of reviews. Her specialties and the other reviews seemed to say she'd be a good match for my situation. And the consultation I had with her confirmed that for me. Divorce lends itself to a lot of complicated feelings, but hiring her was never one I felt torn about. I'll always be grateful to her for helping me through this. Highly recommend.

Corrie was incredible to work with, you can believe everything they say on their website. She treated me and my divorce case with compassion, respect, understanding, and honesty. In my opinion, honesty shouldn't be understated in today's world. I happily settled in mediation. She was very well prepared for any eventuality that could come up. We used most of her preparation too. The opposing attorney wasn't as well prepared, and it made all the difference in the world for me and my case. I feel for anyone going through a divorce but very highly recommend Corrie Sirkin and Nova Legal Professionals!

Getting the right attorney is EVERYTHING in a legal battle. Ed and his team are literally exactly what you pray for when you know that you need legal representation. I was SO IMPRESSED with them. They are extremely responsive, which is HUGE, and they don't waste time on misleading you or giving you false expectations. You can tell immediately that Ed has a massive amount of experience. They took on an extremely difficult family case for me, and I was able to get full custody as a result. As a father this is unheard of in my experience. I'm so grateful for this team.

My Attorney I feel is the best in the S.E. when it comes to family law. After final judgment my ex wasn't happy with the outcome from the Judge when he found and pointed out that she lied under oath several times and wasn't forthcoming with any of her testimony, so she filed an appeal through her lackluster attorney. My attorney immediately requested I hire Mark Baseman to represent me which I did. That was the best thing I ever done in my life to secure my future. Mr. Baseman and his team worked through the appeal with skills that only come from experience. He reiterated to the appeals Judges with accuracy my ex's very low character in the court of law and won my case. Mr Baseman was very easy to work with and reassured me every step of the way. I highly recommend Mark Baseman and this firm for any family law appeals that anyone may have. Thank you Mr. Baseman for everything!

Empathetic and Effective! 5.0 stars Posted by Sandy L January 11, 2024 Leta represented me during the 2022-23 process of an uncontested divorce. Even though my ex spouse and I were amicable, it was still a very difficult time as we navigate through the details of children's custody and alimony. I was the spouse who had more to lose from financial sense and Leta listened to my concern and helped me legally navigate a fair outcome. She was always responsive and really took the time to explain the divorce process, and the "why's' behind each statement in the divorce paper as we drafted it. She even gave me tips on how to approach talking to my ex as we negotiate. She took the time to listen and I was really impressed with how empathetic she was. I did not like some of the other lawyers who had personalities to be "out to get my ex". I was trying to move forward amicably but still makes sure my interests were protected. Leta was very upfront about how long a divorce process in NYC due to backlog and estimate that from filing separation to judge decree, it would take 1 year. She was spot on (illustrates her experience and honesty to not sugar coat). Overall she's made the most difficult process in my life bearable. I felt like my outcome was fair/expedient and fairly charged. I also want to compliment her paralegals who were so prompt in all their responses. Anytime I wanted to talk/email I always heard from them in less than 1-2 BD max. I've actually recommended her to another friend of friend who's seeking divorce too.

It was an incredible experience to be guided and supported by the Oliver-Zhang Law Firm throughout our Permanent Residence process with USCIS. Their professionalism and commitment to maintaining strong client relationships stood out at every step. We always felt respected, and they were readily available to address any questions or concerns we had. I’d like to highlight three key moments during our journey: Comprehensive Guidance: Early in the process, when we needed to prepare a detailed case history with supporting pictures, their team provided thorough guidance, ensuring that every element was perfectly in place. Consistent Follow-up: Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated exceptional follow-up, always checking in and keeping us informed. We never felt alone in navigating the complexities of the immigration system. Resolving a Critical Issue: When my wife’s Green Card failed to arrive by mail, we were understandably anxious. The firm acted quickly, taking proactive steps to reach out to USCIS on our behalf. Their dedication and concern were palpable, almost as if they were advocating for a family member. Thanks to their persistence, the card was eventually found, and the situation resolved smoothly. From initial consultations to the final outcome, the Oliver-Zhang Law Firm consistently delivered timely, accurate, and reliable support. It’s rare to find a team that instills trust so effortlessly from the beginning. Their stellar reputation in Maryland is well deserved, built on years of dedication and success. For anyone seeking legal expertise in immigration, we wholeheartedly recommend the Oliver-Zhang Law Firm. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their clients are unparalleled. They will be with you every step of the way, ensuring the best possible outcome.

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:

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.
