Michael J. Forrester initially was a "random" attorney I only picked because his office was close to my house; however, it must have been dumb luck to find such an amazing attorney who not only is competent, caring, concise and credible but highly capable! I had a case that started out in 2018 and most attorneys would put you in the "collect the dust" file. Not this guy! My case had steam from 2018 to my settlement date which was officially May 9, 2022. Mr. Forrester kept me informed from the initial stages of my case, during and even after it was over STILL took my calls to further explain and/or clarify all my questions. I am probably the biggest doubter, pain in the "you know what" and very detailed client; yet, he was kind, patient and professional all in one and ALWAYS greeted me with a smile and NEVER rushed me on the phone or in person. Also, the STAFF is just as kind, patient and professional! This was a WIN WIN!! Don't take my word....CALL HIM!

As a police officer in north jersey, I sustained serious injuries in the line of duty. Mike demonstrated exceptional knowledge in workers compensation matters and was able to attain me a worthy settlement that ensures I receive medical treatment into the future for my injuries. Throughout the process, the staff and Mike himself, were beyond attentive and informative, answering any questions I had immediately. He was professional, personable, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services.

You hope you never have to hire a personal injury lawyer….but if you do, you want to work with Michael Doggett. From the beginning of working with Michael, it felt like I was talking to a human who genuinely cared about me and could bring the kind of counsel I needed. He was knowledgeable and brought a good outcome about. I actually worked with him twice and would hire him again in an instant! (Fingers crossed, knock on wood, etc I don’t need to again)

Elizabeth Yard helped me win my disability case, which was 3 years in the making. Without this offices expert advice, professionalism, attention to detail and preparation I would still be disabled without benefits. I could cry I’m so thankful for Ms. Yard and her office. I won my case and I feel so much relief and gratefulness. Do NOT apply for disability benefits without her help! You’ll thank yourself later.

He was the only lawyer who would listen to my case needs. Even when nobody else would. He also treated my case as a induvial not just a another case. Mr. Webb is very professional and very friendly with me and my wife and if we had any questions he was very willing to answer them. He made the whole process very easy and I cannot say enough about Mr. Webb. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him my friends and family I will use him for any other issues that I made have in the future.

He has prevented several questionable situations from becoming a problem because of his ability to approach it correctly, and defend myself and company from situations which have occurred as the result of day to day business. He and his partner, Kyle are great attorneys and I highly recommend them both should you need an attorney.

I give 5 stars to Attorney Douglas Rallo. From my heart, I can honestly say that attorney Douglas Rallo fought really hard for me when I had a severe neck injury at work. He was always there when I needed him -- answering my questions, explaining the law and legal process for me, he got me an excellent financial settlement on my case. My injury was very stressful, and Doug Rallo went above and beyond to support me emotionally as I struggled with my injury.

I had the pleasure of meeting Douglas Rallo when I suffered a serious car accident. I had talked to two other lawyers who were ambulance chasers about my accident, but neither one struck me as someone I could trust. Then I was referred to Douglas from another friend who told me you won't go wrong hiring Douglas Rallo. If you need a diligent personal injury lawyer who will not back down and is ethical and upright, then you should talk to Douglas Rallo about your case. It goes without saying that Douglas Rallo is an upstanding, approachable and well respected Lawyer in Libertyville, IL He is not your ordinary lawyer looking to make money, but he is genuine, honest and will always give you his legal perspective on your case. When I met him he listened to me, asked me straight forward questions with only good intentions for my case. When I hired Douglas, I found Douglas to be on my side all of the time. He doesn't miss a beat and is well organized and confident. The office staff is excellent and courteous. Douglas fought for me and never stopped fighting for my complicated case until he rightfully won, which is exactly what Douglas said he could do. Insurance companies will not fight for you and I will tell you for sure local insurance companies don't want to hear from Douglas Rallo. I encourage anyone with a personal injury case, no matter how small or how large, to call Douglas Rallo. You will not be disappointed. This review was written by me, his very greatful client, and I was not paid or persuaded in anyway to write a review for Douglas Rallo.

Keith NEVER left any stone unturned when he handled our case. He was bold like a lion, aggressive like a tiger. One day, when he had to meet a dateline, he drove over 300 miles round trip so that the filling could be done. On another occasion he risked arrest to make sure that our voice could be heard. Our case needed multiple appeals and he went through them without bothering us with the details. We needed somebody to speak for us and he more than accomplished that for us. He was a good listener whose ultimate goal was to do what we wanted. His co-counsel, Sarah, despite the fact that she was a young female, apparently learned well from him because she was as aggressive, effective and efficient as he was. We totally appreciated and their well organized and well seasoned tandem operations. Our case took a couple of years and they were NEVER tired of us or showed any type of resentment, fatigue or unwillingness to fight on. They always welcome our input and worked toward our goal. During the process, we learned a lot about the law and how some of the tenets of law are interpreted. In other words, they educated us on what the outcomes might be and what our expectations should be. We became informed clients which helped our working relationship. By the time the case was over, we were like family to them because of the professional way they handled everything and the way they treated us with courtesy and dignity. Our opponents got to respect us and the experience changed the way they conducted their business. This was not the only case we had with the opponent but this set the tone and has tremendously influenced the way the other cases are unfolding. When I met Keith the first time, I told him that I wanted him to give us a voice. At the end, he gave us more than a voice. He gave us a platform, he gave us power that we never knew we had, he gave me freedom to be able to look our enemies right in the face and tell him exactly how we feel about them. The education we got from Keith and Sarah has propelled us in to a place we never knew we dare dream to be. The crowning moment came last year when my niece was deposed by one of the attorneys in another segment of the case. The attorney told her: you should seriously consider going to Law School. I believe you would make a formidable attorney. That was nothing short of the training she got from both attorneys of the Pearson Law firm. We love them, have kept in touch with them since the case ended. We unreservedly recommend them to anybody who needs a well seasoned attorney who would handle their case or cases as if that was their only case. One thing I know is the fact that they will leave there much more educated than they got in. We will not hesitate to reach out again to them if we needed other representation. It might help to know that their office was at least 180 miles from my home. That, in itself shows the obstacle that we had to overcome throughout our interactions. Believe me, that much distance never slowed down the process or affected the thoroughness of their work. As I look back now, I can't help but thank God that our paths crossed and we were privileged to have the luxury of dealing with such fine people.

Greta helped my family to get the Green Card through the employment-based visa (EB-3). We came to the U.S with a teacher visiting program and all the attorneys we talked before told us it would be impossible for us to stay in the U.S permanently. When we met Greta she said all those lawyers had no idea and that she would help us. It was a long process, more than she or us expected, but she made it possible! And now we have our Green Card at home. She got the Green cards for 3 more families from the same program. She knows what she does and I am truly grateful for her dedication and positivity to my case. Thank you Greta!

I highly recommend Mr Nicholas Macri as a lawyer. He handled my sexual harassment case, swiftly and professionally. Any questions I had he answered them with such confidence we won and settled our case. In less than a year. He fully explains everything and help me to understand the whole process, step-by-step this being my first sexual harassment case, I did not know what to expect at first. He never neglected any questions I had, and always respond in a timely manner almost immediately every time, considering what I went through, he made me feel so comfortable. I give him a 10 out of 10 I was highly satisfied with his performance and professionalism in what he does. Thank you so much for your help!

I had an atty before Roy and it had been 3 weeks and my car had not been fixed by the at fault company. I was referred to Roy and no pressure consult and gave me a lot of good insight and is very knowledgable. I decided to sign the contract right there and my car was in the shop in a matter of days! He has a very "get it done" way of doing things and he's awesome! I settled and was very surprised and content with my settlement and my husband is in the process and we are grateful for Roy's commitment and generosity and hard work!!

I was referred to Roy after being injured in an auto accident by an uninsured motorist. Navigating the insurance claims process on top of trying to get care for my injury was SO difficult, confusing and intimidating (especially since the driver that hit me was uninsured). I could not have asked for a better advocate or more compassionate and knowledgeable guide. Roy’s understanding of how the Insurance companies work, and his savvy in navigating the process on my behalf were impressive and gave me SO much comfort at a really difficult, scary time. He communicated well and sensitively at all times during the process. Roy is truly one of the good guys. A total Ace, but on your side :). And at the same time, just a really kind, caring person. He was truly a gift to me in a very difficult year, and stood up for me when it was really hard to know how to stand up for myself in a complicated system. Thank you, Roy!!!

When I first came to Travis, I was confused and lacking confidence with the Workers’ Comp legal system. Prior to speaking more about Travis, please allow me to explain how I had a 2nd chance to receive excellent legal representation, and meet Travis. My original attorney (not Travis Payne) felt my case had become too complicated, and asked me to settle for what I felt was an inappropriate amount, or pay him more $ money than the previously agreed upon rate. This 1st attorney contacted my former employer’s legal team, and let them know I was soon to be without representation. I felt this was likely done to scare me into paying this attorney what I felt was borderline extortion. Maybe this money was needed to keep up the payments in the opulently decorated fancy facility? What I do know is within days, I received packages of files containing literally hundreds of legal documents. My former employer indicated since I was without an attorney, I would have “X” days to answer many questions or else. I felt I was incompetent to represent myself, and felt I was being intimidated by my former employer. I was under tremendous emotional stress, and suffering from physical pain trying to recover from a serious workplace injury. I was feeling nervous, and knew I didn't have the skill set to manage my case. Unable to think clearly, I contemplated simply dropping my case. After a few less than friendly phone calls from people representing my former employer, I began seeking representation again. I called several attorneys, but struggled to find someone who seemed to care or had sincere interest in my case. I learned some workers' compensation attorneys only seemed interested in easy cases where a person had lost a limb (or worse) during an accident. I was glad I hadn’t lost a limb, however began to feel my situation was hopeless. Here's the good part. I thank my lucky stars for having the opportunity to speak with and meet Travis Payne. When I first met him, he came down the stairs of his modest facility, and had on a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt and jeans. 20 minutes later, I realized I met a true Salt-of-the-Earth Dude. In an hour, Travis taught me more about my rights than my previous attorney had in nearly a year. Travis even advised me of benefits I should have applied for months prior to meeting him. Travis told me, “Write this down, this is really important. I can’t believe your previous attorney hadn’t advised you to, but you still have time.….” Well, I felt and still feel Travis was a well-timed gift. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to truly thank him enough. He advised me during our 1st call I had a strong case. He was honest, and said it would be a lot of work, but he'd be happy to help. He organized my case quickly, and instructed my former employer to stop contacting me. What a relief! Travis’ team was outstanding! Angie in particular was always exceptionally kind. They sent me a copy of all communications to my former employer, and I never felt in the dark. They also never pressured me to settle. Travis is not a doctor, however his handling of my case genuinely helped my emotional health. Later, my case settled for 800% more $ than the previous attorney asked me to accept. Plus, thanks to Travis’ professional advice, I continue to receive very necessary benefits which I wouldn’t have known I qualified for were it not for Travis’ compassionate, honest, professional advice. Regretfully, I remain permanently disabled, however am able to live above the poverty line thanks to Travis’ ability to advocate for me, and help me see the big picture. My only regret would be not having gone to Travis 1st. I have referred family and friends to Travis, because I feel his rare combination of Honesty, Caring, and Fighting skills are truly hard to find. If you’re finding yourself like I was, and simply unsure what to do with regard to your on the job accident, I would highly recommend calling Travis first.

Approximately 7 years ago (2010), I was injured while working. My employer did not deny any claims and arranged for the medical care that I needed. Unfortunately, after several surgeries, it became clear to my doctor that I would not be able to return to work in the capacity that I did before the injury. As such, my employer started the conversation regarding medical retirement. Up to the point of retirement, I didn't feel that I necessarily needed an attorney. However, when I started moving towards the inevitable medical retirement, I retained Mr. Payne. I was impressed with him, even before hiring him. I remember calling/emailing Mr. Payne if I had a question about the work comp situation. This was BEFORE I hired him to represent me. I think it says a lot about his character and his desire to help people that get into situations like I did. After retaining Mr. Payne, he walked me through my journey of retirement at age 27. His knowledge of the work comp system is quite impressive. I must also add that I met with 2 other attorneys before retaining Mr. Payne. The others that I contacted just seemed to really be a little preoccupied with other cases. They also were not familiar with my employers medical retirement process. However, Mr. Payne knew all about the medical retirement stuff with my employer. I am in my 4th year of retirement, and, to this day continue to have Mr. Payne represent me. He has a wealth of knowledge because he has been doing his job for many years. I have been to hearings with the industrial commission and was very pleased that he grilled the Vocational Rehab folks. I would certainly recommend Mr. Payne to anyone dealing with work comp mess.

I was having some serious issues with both my employer and L&I, lack of communication with L&I, my benefits randomly getting cut off, total lack of professionalism IMO. I was referred to Sue Holm by a good friend of mine, I contacted her, told her my story, we discussed terms and I signed her on. IMMEDIATELY things got Infinitely better for us, payments came on time, if there was ever an issue I'd send off an email to Sue and it was handled promptly. I tried multiple times to gift her money, gift cards etc, because I felt that she was very under paid for the work she was doing, but she denied them every single time. Sue is very passionate and knowledgeable with her work, she doesn't take any gruff off anyone, myself included. If she felt I was doing something out of pocket, or had any issue with me at all, it was very direct and to the point. Which I absolutely love in a person, no beating around the bush, no guess work. I simply can not put into words the gratitude myself and my family have for what she has done for us in our battle against L&I and my employer, we thought we were going to be homeless, lose my job, even have to pay back almost $50,000. But we had a true warrior on our side, and it was worth every single penny. Even though she didn't get enough pennies. I do not recommend anyone else but Sue Holm when I hear someone is having an issue with work related injuries. And if, good forbid, I ever get injured at work again, even if it's a simple paper cut, I'm not doing any thing first before contacting her. She'll hear from me before a doctor sees me. L&I is not there for the workers, they're there for the corporations, you need someone that's there for you, and there simply is no one better than Sue. If she says "do this", GO DO IT! Communicate with her, and listen to her advice. When you need a dog in the fight for you, Sue is the Cane Corso you need.

I had contacted a disability attorney whose office was close to me. He didn’t even listen to me or return my call. I was distraught. If you’re at the point you need a disability lawyer, you are already in pain and in need, financially. I read the reviews on AVVO on Susan Holm. I took the chance and called her. She screened my case during the call. She accepted my case. She met with me. After sitting with me for a few hours, we filled out what would be a saving grace for me. Susan’s counsel and advice and more importantly, compassion, helped me through the process. There are questions that she asked me that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own that I’m sure helped my case. I guess you can go through the system on your own but I wouldn’t suggest it. Someone like Susan has years of experience that will help give you clear expectations for your case. I was fortunate enough to have my case approved the first time through, within 4 months. I am not expected to return to work given my extensive health problems, but I am glad I will be receiving SSDI benefits to help with my lost income. Having it approved the first time is not the norm, by far. And by no means should you take away from me that your case will be approved the first time, or if it is, within 4 months. What I can honestly tell you is that I have no doubt that the assistance from Susan in preparing the application the first time did help. Susan anticipated what would definitely help. Her years of experience is so valuable in that regard. For me, going to Susan was worth it. I have no qualms about suggesting Susan to anyone seeking SSDI. I would suggest that before you meet with her, you gather all these important items: Doctor’s full names, their addresses, their phone and fax numbers, what they’re treating you for, the last appointment date you had with them, the next future appointment date, all medications you’re taking and for what conditions, ALL possible conditions you’ve been diagnosed with, and a journal of your physical and mental struggles. Also, employer’s FMLA documentation may help as well as the last 6 months of paystubs. I was prepared and Susan appreciated the preparation. Good luck and I hope health returns to you. But in any case, I hope you get the financial help from SSDI. I needed competence in a lawyer. I hoped for compassion considering my circumstances. Susan Holm provides both.

Kenneth Farino was my lawyer on a case that lasted 2 years and 3 months. And while that is a chunk of time, I can only imagine how long it would have dragged on if not for him. No question was ever too small (or too anxiety riddled). This is by far one of the best professional experiences I have ever had, and I am saying that coming from an unexpected awful situation. I am a cup half empty gal but he always had me seeing the cup half full. He is thoughtful, caring, passionate, accessible, considerate, transparent, knowledgeable, tenacious, the list goes on and on. I knew every step of the way I was prioritized. When it came to settling the case, I was in awe watching him work on email. He was relentless to the opposing counsel. I cannot recommend him enough. He gave me my life back. Thank you will never be enough. I will never forget the care you put into this horrendous ordeal.

I was injured at work in 1993 and Mr. Brewer took my case. He made sure the insurance company paid for all of my medical bills and the time I lost at work. I've received a check EVERY week since my accident. This law firm took good care of me and I would highly recommend them for anything! They were on my side when the insurance company was against me.

Mr. Robert Lauver was very knowledgeable about which direction he should take my case. I didn't realize there were so many avenues in a Worker's Comp case. My case was so complex because of my multiple injuries and surgeries with numerous doctors. Mr. Lauver was clever enough to work though all the tricks of the opposing lawyer. He will do a good job for you.

Since the first day that Jacobson and Han took me onto their books they have shown great courtesy, kindness and, indeed, affection. I cannot speak too highly of Ms Gilbert, Ms Han and Ms Jacobson- they have all been wonderful to me. With superb and expert professionalism they have guided me through the complexities of the Naturalization process. The Law Firm has an extremely caring team and I am treated to some of the best legal advice, support and encouragement that I could ever hope for. I HIGHLY recommend them!

Jenna as well as Jacobson and Han firm are the best! Before I signed on with them I looked at many others but it did not take long to realize I was choosing and would be in the hands of the best group of lawyers and staff. The knowledge and personal attention was way beyond my expectation. Even with a case like mine that looked to be tilted completely against me and a 4+ year battle. I was worried after paying off my responsibility in the first year that my case would not be as important to them since I was paid off. Boy was I wrong, the calls, communication, preperation was second to none, their office structure continued like if I owed them money this trully showed the integrity of who Jenna and her staff are. Always there to answer questions, calls and most importantly guidance. Did I find others that would save me a buck, sure on the surface it would of seemed that way but after my personal experience and court victory I knew the pricing was more than fair. It backs the saying you get what you pay for and in this case trust me from my personal experience when I say you get much, much more. A little about my case I would like to share with you.... Facing deportation removal due to my past criminal history, I realized I was facing a steep mountain. I thought my past was in my past but as I found out It was still haunting me. Though my life had changed and turned over to Christ I realized I had to face this and knew I could not face this alone and that I needed a lawyer but not just any lawyer. With the severity of my case I knew I needed a super lawyer. Anyone in a situation of deportation can tell you it is scary, worrisome and stressful. As my case dragged on for 4+ years I saw these worries grow with the time. I didnt want to leave my Wife or my infant daughter or any of my family which is all here in the states but that is where I saw the personal attention and proffesionalism continue and actually grow for 4+ years. I was scheduled for court about every six months, let me tell you they had me prepared for every court date I had. I was fully prepared and counseld every step through the process. All that stress and worrying was made manageble knowing you have God on your side and a top notch attorney and staff. Believe me facing many counts which include attempted murder, gun possesion, drug possesion, gang relation and stolen vehicles all from my early teenage years. Jenna and the Jacobson and Han staff where able to show the person who I am now and the change I had made as a person being able to present all my work in the church and community and the outreach for the youth and tilt that scale in my favor as much as possible. This country has no doubtly been good to me and with the representation from Jenna and her staff I was granted relief and a clear path for my citizenship as well as a second chance to continue the community outreach work I do as well as be a father to my daughter who is playing with her toys next to me as I type, this as well as a husband to a great supporting Wife who is working on being a Detective or Parole Officer. You may not see the tears coming down as I type but I am grateful to have such a great oppurtunity to of found such an excellent lawyer to be by on my side. Thank you! Jenna, Marina, Niki and everyone at Jacobson and Han To be honest after what I went through I could not wait to write this review for others to know what they are getting. I was and still am so happy that I told them they didnt have to sell me on getting my citezenship representation through them. I said their representation during my case did all the selling for them that I needed to see. Cant wait to come back and leave another review after I become a proud citizen of this great country!

It was a blessing that Richard Burke and I were introduced. He has pushed forward everyday since. He fights the fight never giving up! He speaks the truth. He explains things so I can understand, but most of all, no mater where we are on my case, Mr. Burke has always made me feel safe. He really cares. You can hear it in his voice. His office staff has always extended the same attributes. I will NEVER regret my choice to be represented by Mr. Burke. Regardless of what my outcome will be.

My experiance with Mike Cardamone was great. I have turned to him after a long search for help while dealing with work related injury. Doing it on my own was causing lots of frustration and feeling helpless. Finding the right attorney who will take my case and understand me ( as I was so lost ) was a long process Mike was IT ! His expertise and willingness to help me to understand the WC process is beyond any words. His is simply GREAT ! Definitely GO TO person. He took my case to his heart and did a great job. Took time in his busy schedule to explain things to me, made sure I am in good hands, that was what I needed the most: feel that I am not alone, well taken care. We got a nice setttlement too. Michael, thank you so much for your help !

Brad Burnette helped me with my personal injury case. Brad and his team did a wonderful job, they were extremely nice and welcoming! I’ve never needed an attorney for anything so I did not know what to expect. My thoughts on attorneys came from Breaking Bad and Don’t Call Saul. You know, the skeezy, slick talking, untrustworthy kind. They are nothing like that. Brad was very transparent, he kept me updated, Andrea, his paralegal, was great also. She responded to my emails very quickly and helped get me reimbursed for my rental! They handled EVERYTHING! I didn’t have to do anything really, just heal from my injuries! The whole case took less than a year! From December 2021 to September 2022. That is from wreck to check. Im thoroughly grateful to Brad and Andrea! Also Andrea is going to be a fabulous attorney!

Brad was realistic with the outcome of my case from day one. He was honest and very informative, unlike some of the other attorneys I had consultations with. He (or his staff) kept me informed and updated as my case progressed. If I did need to contact him, he responded in a timely manner. I appreciate the justice he got for my son, and am pleased I chose him to represent our family. I hope I don't ever need an attorney again.... but if I do, Brad will be my first call!

From day one it was clear that Brad knows his stuff. I signed on after the first time meeting him and to be honest, he made the whole process a breeze. All I had to do was sit back and be patient. I liked how I didn't have to contact his office to inquire about progress or updates on the case. He kept me informed the entire time through phone calls or e-mails every couple of weeks to a month. Brad got the job done, landed me a huge settlement and I cannot thank him enough. You're the best, Brad!

After I was injured in an auto accident I was at a loss as to how to handle my medical care, the vast amount of paperwork and insurance companies. Jim Dwyer was recommended to me. I never thought I would hire a lawyer but after speaking with Jim I knew I was in excellent hands and needed his help. Jim educated and prepared me for every step towards settling my case. He is honest, experienced and caring. His communication is excellent - he was always available to answer my questions and clearly explained the legal processes I was going through. It is refreshing to find someone that is so professional and caring at the same time. Most of all, I felt that he was looking after my best interest from my first call to the end of my case. Jim saw me through a difficult time and I am forever grateful that I had him as my lawyer.

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.
