Scott has been my personal and business attorney since 1985. Iv'e always found him to be very trustworthy, knowledgeable and very thorough. What I most like about Scott is his patience and ability to explain cases on my level. Over the years every case result has been favorable and I have Scott to thank for that. I always recommend Scott to anyone that has had an accident or just needs a good attorney.

I would definitely recommend Mr. Wright to all of my friends and family!

As a Paralegal for 25 years, when I was injured this year as a victim of a rear-end collision, I knew exactly what type of attorney I wanted to handle my case. I know that it takes more than knowledge of the law to be a good and effective attorney. I wanted a firm that was big enough to have any necessary resources to handle the case, while still being small enough to be both personable, professional and easy to communicate with. I was looking for an attorney who would approach my case with fresh eyes and motivation and above all, integrity. I wanted a firm that would not only fight for me, but never forget that I am a human being and not just a file on their desk. I found Hale Law, and was not one bit disappointed. As a matter of fact, they exceeded my expectations beyond description! Not only did they obtain a recovery for me under circumstances that seemed it was impossible, they did so in an incredibly quick and efficient manner. Patrick Iyampillai and Patrick Hale, along with every one of his incredible support staff, did an absolutely amazing job in what turned out to be a rather difficult and somewhat contentious case. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FIRM for any of the practice areas they handle. If you are looking to win your case, look no further.

Byron did an excellent job on the case concerning a traffic accident from start to finish. Negotiating the legal system is a stressful task; Byron made it less so by being available, and taking the time, to answer our every question. He was extremely patient and kept us informed every step of the way. He was able to explain the complex legal process in simple terms to ensure we understood what could happen -- and what was happening. We were very satisfied with the results of the case and give Byron our highest recommendation.

A very nice person to have on your side, I would give him the highest recommendation. His research on other cases showed me that he was on top of everything and took a personal interest in the case.

Unfortunately, it was determined that I wasn't geographically close enough to feasibly have my case represented by Ms. Zitano; however, the level of personal attention she showed to me, listening to my entire case with sincere patience and empathy, complete with professional insight and guidance was top notch and so appreciated. I honestly wish I was closer in proximity to have been able to have to Ms Zitano represent me, without any doubt.

The Smith and Zitano team were a Godsend. We had a tragic medical issue occur to our family. I had contacted numerous lawyers who basically had stated, our case would not have been economically feasible for them. However, from my first interaction with David and Elisa, I knew that they were not only experts in the field, but compassionate individuals. They had spent hours with my family and were the utmost prepared. It was such a relief to know we had them on our side. Even the other lawyers had mentioned how prepared and knowledgeable they were. In the end, we reached a decision that we were completely satisfied with. They treated us with great respect and helped us manage through these terrible times. I would recommend them 110%. They are the utmost professionals and I will be indebted to them forever.

I would like to express my most sincere gratitude for the legal assistance I recently received from Mr. Brian Kim, Attorney at Law during a very tumultuous time in my life. At a time where the “chips were down” and several previous attorneys rejected my case due to its complexity heavy time commitment, and seemingly lack of financial benefit, Mr. Kim gladly/willingly accepted the challenge to assist me with my legal issue. I was amazed at how Mr. Kim was able to dissect a seemingly complex legal issue into a simple and understandable matter. As a layperson unfamiliar with the never-ending intricacies of the legal universe, I felt comfortable and assured knowing that I had Mr. Kim in my corner. Mr. Kim’s knowledge and application of the law, tenacity, brilliance, as well as his ability to develop a well thought out approach/argument ultimately lead to a handsome settlement in my favor. I couldn’t be happier! Mr. Kim’s guidance, patience, professionalism and expertise exceeded my expectations! Its people like Mr. Kim that make the helpless, feel hopeful. He is passionate about his craft and truly is, class personified. I highly recommend his legal services for anyone in need. Sincerely, VERY Satisfied Client

I was fortunate enough to have Mr Huegli as my attorney during my DUI case. My case was difficult to prove because the police officer was not completly honest in his investigation and actually violated the law in order to charge me with a DUI. Mr. Huegli analyzed the events, the investigation and police reports and was able to determine what actually occurred. He then put a strategy together to prove this in court. I was most impressed with Mr Huegli's litigation and delivery during the trial. In the courtroom he was able to examine and cross-examine so that the jury could understand what actually happened. It was obvious that the police officer was not being entirely honest as Mr. Huegli cross-examined him on the witness stand. The jury deliberated for less than an hour and I was found "not guilty." I would highly recommend Mr. Huegli for legal representation.

I won't get into too many details about my personal case, however I can tell you that Todd knows the law inside and out. The D.A. tried to bring in a bunch of evidence that would have really killed me and Todd knew exactly how to handle it all. He did an awesome job keeping stuff out of the trial and in the end I was WAY better off having Todd on my side. If you are looking for a criminal defense or DUI attorney, look no further. Todd is really nice, explains everything to you, and then is a machine in the court room.

Amber is not only an excellent attorney-at-law, but as she focused on our son and his injuries, was scientifically and medically prepared regarding indoor toxic mold and it's affects on the human body.

She was injured and missed some work and we needed help dealing with the insurance company to get medical bills paid, our car fixed and compensation for all our losses. Patrick immediately took control of the situation, got the insurance company to pay the medical bills that it was supposed to pay and helped us get a good settlement overall. We were very impressed with Patrick's work because he always communicated with us, kept us informed and involved us in the process. Patrick handled our legal matter with expertise and diligence.

Lucy Tufts represented me in an extremely complex case involving mortgage fraud on the part of my previous attorney, who converted the payoff money from the new lender to his own personal account and failed to pay the previous lender the funds due. The net result left me holding two mortgages on the same property, with threats of foreclosure and numerous acts of intimidation from the bank holding both mortgages. Ms. Tufts successfully negotiated a stay of action on the part of the bank while seeking recourse through the courts in a vain attempt to collect the monies due.Further research on the part of Ms. Tufts revealed that the bank offering me a new loan had failed in several respects to follow standard banking procedures and its own policies in the signing of certain documents at closing and thus had inadvertently contributed to the ensuing fraud and theft of funds that took place. Ms. Tufts demonstrated considerable skill and legal knowledge in dealing with facts as they occurred. As a legal strategist she is brilliant. As an adversary to opposing attorneys, particularly in depositions, she was courageous and did not retreat from heated dialogue from opposing counsel. At the end of the day, the original lender paid off the previous mortgage and offered me another mortgage for the same term and interest rate as before. In addition, Ms. Tufts negotiated a significant amount from the bank for damages, and obtained a $2,000,000 non-dischargeable in bankruptcy judgement against the attorney who defrauded me. Ms. Tufts was at all times patient in explaining complex legal issues and strategies, was consistently available to me and prompt in returning all telephone calls, and often worked on my case over weekends and holidays. i can only describe Ms. Tufts services in superlatives and recommend her legal services without heitation.

He gave me more than enough information and his consultation was free. He is very experienced and well versed in his field. He took my case right away and went straight into action. He ended up settling everything in less than a week's time. I've never had to utilize an attorney before and wasn't sure what to expect. He stayed in contact with me and keep me up to date throughout the entire process, which was highly appreciated. Yes, the sticker price of his services aren't cheap, but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for", and Mr. Richardson was worth every penny.

Dena entered our lives at a very difficult time. My husband had been diagnosed with mesothelioma, and had just undergone extensive surgery. We had been referred to her law firm, Weitz and Luxenberg. Dena contacted us and arranged to come to Florida and to spend the day with us. She was so sensitive and caring. She had our trust from the very beginning. She explained the process very carefully. She was available any time we had questions. Even after my husband unfortunately passed away, she continued to monitor the case, and to be helpful with advice, information, and encouragement. She had provided her personal cell number from the beginning, so I was able to contact her, even though she had changed law firms. She made me feel that I was still her client, and that she genuinely wanted to assist in any way. She is a credit to her profession!

Ms. Dena Young was lead counsel for my father's wrongful death while employed with one of the largest law firms specializing in asbestos litigation. Ms. Young's legal representation, subject matter knowledge, dedication and client devotion were exemplary. Ms. Young expertly guided my family and I through the technically complicated, stressful and emotionally taxing asbestos litigation process with skill and great compassion - she truly cares about her clients. Ms. Young's experience and legal expertise were "mission-critical" during the activities leading up to and during my week-long deposition, during which up to 15 defendant attorneys were present during the proceedings. I felt confident and comfortable during this stressful event thanks to Ms. Young's meticulous preparations.

At that time, we already felt like we were getting an awesome attorney but now that we've seem him fight for us, we have NEVER been so confident that we truly have someone else fighting their hardest to help us w/ our best interests in mind!! Today was a big/long/hard/interesting day to say the least but it was also a very emotional & day! I have NEVER before seen an attorney fight so hard & from the heart until today! Michael Banks is the most sincere, honest & understanding attorney/person I have EVER met in my life!! He fights for the innocent little people against the huge insurance companies that like to bully & push people around! Today, Michael Banks showed us EXACTLY what a good, kind, caring & amazing attorney does when his client is being pushed around & intimidated by the opposing big insurance company!! Geico was trying to bully my husband & make him feel like his past was about to alter what he deserves until Mr. Banks stepped in & shut Geico right down! If you need an attorney that honestly cares about you genuinely from his heart, Michael Banks is the ONLY attorney I've ever met/seen actually fight for you & what you need & deserve!! WE THANK YOU, MICHAEL BANKS, FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR JUST BEING YOU!! You are the most amazing, kind & best attorney we've EVER had the pleasure of coming across & dealing with! I completely 1,000% recommend Michael Banks to anyone & everyone that need someone who cares!!

On Wednesday April 12, 2017, my fiance & I had a consultation with Michael Banks regarding a car accident we were involved in back in June 2016. I called Mr. Banks at 3:30pm & explained a little of what happened in the accident. His response was very sincere & he told me the rest of his afternoon was free & he'd love to talk to us in person. We were in his office by 4pm meeting with him personally. Not just a paralegal or assistant... The actual attorney! We also met his assistant Annie & she was just the sweetest thing EVER! They both were very caring, sincere, thorough & wanted to right the way we were wronged! We were not only wronged due to the accident but also by the attorney we previously hired. Mr. Banks was very empathetic & understanding! He felt we had a good case & need less to say, before 5pm we were signing the papers hiring Michael Banks to fight for us! He made us feel like we were very important & we felt like we had ALL his attention on us & what we had to say! We didn't feel rushed, he didn't interrupt us once while we were talking, & he made us feel so confident that he was fighting for us & wanted to fix what someone else messed up. He also made it very clear that we are more than welcome to pop in any time we feel necessary or just want to say hi. Unlike most other attorney's who are arrogant, rush you out, interrupt you & make cold comments! I cannot say enough good things about Michael Banks as an attorney & a person! Then there's Annie... She is such a sweet, understanding, genuine, wonderful woman with a heart of gold! She seems to just have this ora about her that can make anyone feel comfortable with her! I would recommend Michael Banks to absolutely anyone & everyone! Thank you Mr. Banks & Annie for caring & we look forward to working with you!

A sum of 2 years ago I was charged with 6 aggravated assault charges, and later the DA felt I got the lesser charges so they decide to charge me with first degree attempted murder. I was arrested October 28, Mr. Reaves came on the 30th just two days after, I was impressed. When we first talked and he gave me a consultation he made sure he let me know that he will fight for me to the fullest extent. I didnt expect to much but I wasn't in full belief because I was in a city that wronged me, but over the course of 21 days in jail attorney Reaves built my confidence by displaying his incentive, knowledge, and determination. I was his first criminal case, so in all other metaphors he took those gloves off and prepared to win. He knew what possible outcomes could take place but his diligence allowed him not to be defeated. Even though I had no criminal history and I was eligible for first offense diversion he didnt take no plea, even when I was reindicted for the higher charge he never gave up on me. During the course of 2 years we had several trials and although he was a civil attorney he went against two of the most respected defense attorneys Memphis had to offer. But Mr. Reaves was prepared for them and surprised them as well. In the end result I can still be an engineer with my clear name because he was triumphant. I owe him so much more then money and gratitude he saved my life and I'm eternally grateful. If you ask me what Lawyer is the best for any situation civil and or criminal I will say attorney Reaves. He knows the value of your life and your possessions and he will fight for them with all he has.

Dave and his office provided my services with the utmost care and compassion. From the first contact to end of the service I was made to feel like family. The personalization and attention to ensuring I had the information needed to make decisions that were best for me was overwhelming. It was never just a case to Dave and his team, it was caring for someone’s life that was someone special to their family and friends. Dave and his team was careful to relate to me in whatever state I was in: pain, worry; discouraged; or even feeling sorry for myself. I would recommend Dave and his firm to anyone who wanted enter a relationship and not be considered a.”transaction.” Thank you Dave for reaffirming that service, dignity, respect and kindness is more than just words, it’s what you and your firm embodies. Thank you!!!

Marco was priceless in helping me navigate a hard legal situation. He was literally there for me with not more than a few hours notice, fighting for my rights in the court of law. The outcome was better than I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend Marco if you need help navigating the justice system. His experience and expertise proved priceless.

I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Marco. My wife and I had a difficult decision to make regarding a new teaching career for her and had some questions that neeed answers. Marco was able to give us the precise advise that bought us time to more thoroughly look at our options. He also followed up with us a week later to see if we had anymore questions. I'd recommend him to anyone.

I was really stressed out after getting a traffic violation and being told that I need to get a lawyer, and that’s when I went to find Mr. Alex Taylor. Mr. Taylor helped ease all of my concerns immediately after meeting him with his outstanding demeanor, kindness, and knowledge. I cannot express enough how glad I am to have hired Mr. Taylor as my lawyer. He took an interest in getting to know me and my life before defending me, which I feel attributed to the great outcome that was given in court. He is very personable, empathetic, and amazing at what he does. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their lawyer!

Matt Taylor and his associate Aaron Miller of Vaziri Law Group have been heaven sent as a referral from another couple of amazing lawyers, Joseph Shirazi and Simon, another incredible lawyer from the same office. They told me that Matt Taylor was THE Personal Injury Lawyer that they would use and recommend. Matt Taylor is brilliant in personal injury law and as an added bonus, specializes in property liability among so many other things. We were and are in such good hand. It is unbelievable and we are so lucky and so blessed to be able to have them and this firm to represent us. They prevented big lawyers from throwing us under to bus for a serious injury resulting in permanent damage to me. Law suits take a while, understand this. But have faith, you could NOT be better represented!! Just gather all the evidence and photos that you can and they will SO protect you from the wolves outside your door. Thank you forever. God bless. We would have been so messed up without you!!!

The offices of Siamak Vaziri are more than professional! They are effective and knowledgeable and very clear on the actions and outcomes that you would hope for you My hats off to Mr. Vaziri, for creating and developing organization that make sure their clients be treated with respect. Not another opportunity to enhance their coffers. Other law often uncomfortable .they were doing you a favor. Not so at Vaziri I was completely surprised when Mr. Vaziri called to tell me the outcome of my case. It was much more than I expected! I've never experienced that before. He, was celebrating with me!.Usually law firms are happy to see you leave. In particular, I want to praised Ruth Marin! I don't think I couldn't have survived with her!! You'll love her also. Although, im not certain or her position. I'm hoping she is the closest thing to being a case manager. I'm thinking, she should be a partner! Mr. Vaziri and Ruth Marin, are extraordinary representatives legal firms. firms should. Sad others don't function in that manner! P.S. this might seem excessively saccharine, but this is no BS job! And if I need legal assistance I'll call them again, call them again! Best Sandy Los Angeles Calif.

I couldn't be happier with my experience. I was referred to him after being unhappy with the attorney I had originally handling my case. So I transferred over to this firm and I am so grateful I did. Got twice as much money from the defendant as the original attorney was trying to convince me to settle for! These guys know what they are doing and they are good honest people.

Mr Naime provided amazing legal representation to me during a tumoltuous child support ordeal with the father of my daughter. Not only was he readily available for case questions, he too was compassionate and kind as well as always willing to work with my financial situation. During multiple volatile court proceedings, he remained steadfast, calm and professional; this proved to be a major factor that benefitted me. I am retaining Mr. Naime again for a separate legal matter because my experience with him was terrific. I absolutely recommend Mr. Naime for any family law matter.

Mr. Naime was my 4th and last attorney in a nearly 4 year divorce. Now I know what makes a great family law attorney. Mr. Naime knows and cares about the law and his clients. He relies on his superior intelligence and knowledge of the law to win your case. I believe he was the only attorney I had who was actually honest with me and worked hard on my case. He allowed me to make my own decisions about my case. The other attorneys I used seemed to keep me dark in order to make their job easier. You are completely reliant on your attorney in a divorce and if you question who's side they're actually on repeatedly, something is wrong. I truly felt Mr. Naime had my back, was honest and forthright with me and actually practices the law with the high ethical standards and responsibility the U.S. public expects from a family law attorney.

Mr. Tidwell did such a great job helping me through my case. He took so much time with me, helping me understand the process and making sure I was able to see the doctors I needed to see even though I didn't have a lot of money to pay the doctors up front. He was more concerned with helping me get better from my wreck than anything else. When it was over, I couldn't believe the recovery he got for me. Not only was I better, but I had enough money to help me get on with my life. If you are looking for a lawyer, you have to call Mr. Tidwell. There can't be any better out there.

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.
