Johnny Sorenson helped dispell some stereotypes I had about lawyers. From day one Mr. Sorenson had my family's best interests at the forefront of he and his teams mind. It was never about a paycheck. They cared about us as people. He was always timely with relaying pertinent information and always kept us in the "loop". He and his team would routinely reach out just to check on my family's well being and if we needed anything. Johnny Sorenson is a hell of a lawyer but he's an even better person and family man. I'm thankful that he took our case but I'm even more thankful that he turned out to be a better person than what was advertised. Would definitely recommend.

Johnny and his team helped me and my husband during a really hard time. We were hit by a drunk driver and didn’t know where to turn to help with all of our medical bills and being out of a car. We were lucky to know someone who works for Johnny who was able to provide us direction. We are grateful for this team who helped us get a settlement and made it very easy and stress free. No one ever plans on needing a lawyer but if you do, he is the one to go with. Thanks again!

We can't say enough good things about Knapp and Roberts. Craig represented my brothers and me against a big insurance company and negotiated a very favorable settlement. The insurance company lawyer was really tough, but Craig was able to keep the discussions on the most relevant considerations in spite of all the opposition's maneuvering. Part of the case included making a winning and precedent-setting argument before the AZ Supreme Court! He was also very pleasant to work with, and very ably explained the topics that we needed to focus on.

aising a child with special needs is a journey. Never in a million years did I expect myself to be in need of an attorney to walk along side of me for another leg of the journey after a horrific incident. I thank God that Knapp & Roberts was the firm we chose to help us navigate an extremely difficulty time in our lives. The dynamic duo of Craig Knapp and David Friedman was a force to be reckon with. Ways I describe Craig: a fearless ethical leader, compassionate, brilliant, trusts his instincts, personally responds to correspondences and provides emotional support every step of the way. David is passionate, assertive, extremely knowledgeable, articulate, detail oriented and caring. Craig and David were so diligent over 4 years that it took to get our case settled. It took going to a jury trial that they handled in a professional manner. They found ethical experts to testify, kept us informed, helped us cope with the emotionally draining days in court and worked tirelessly. We felt genuinely taken care of like family and they had our best interest at heart the entire time. I am so glad we trusted them with our case and would absolutely recommend Knapp & Roberts.

Craig was one of many lawyers I interviewed for the wrongful death lawsuit of a family member at an Assisted Living Facility. From the first time we spoke, he was compassionate, kind and up front about the type of settlement he thought we could receive. He gave me his cell phone number and he was always quick to respond to calls, texts and emails. He was professional as well as empathetic to my loss. In the end he got us a much larger settlement than we expected. I would highly recommend Craig, and Knapp and Roberts, to anyone dealing with a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

After the sudden death of my husband I needed a probate lawyer to help me refinance my home. We thought we had taken all the right steps to insure all the necessary steps were taken so we wouldn't run into any problems. Boy was I wrong. Seems the verbiage was written wrong in our Wills. I was so stressed out from losing my husband, and trying to get this refinancing done in the time frame I was given I needed help. Andre at Pennington Law took a lot of that stress away from me, and ensured me things would get done. Even during this Covid-19 Pandemic Andre was able to file and work his magic to make sure I was taken care of, and this overwhelming process was done, and done right.

I approached Phil regarding my equal pay and discrimination case against a large corporation, after I had a prior conversation with another firm. Because of that, I had a general idea of what were the possible legal venues available in my situation. Phil laid out similar options. Unlike the other firm, I felt that Phil was more confident and had more experience in dealing with large corporations that have a very robust legal team and a strong process to deny any wrong doing. Phil was very professional (a bit cold), but I felt it was appropriate for his role. I felt that I had a very strong case and plenty of supporting documentation. After listening attentively to my situation, Phil put a very detailed demand letter together, laying out the events and including eloquently the laws governing the situation. After a lengthy process, while the company investigated the events, they came back with a very low-ball settlement offer. Phil was instrumental in negotiating a deal and listening to my concerns. It is unfortunate that it is legal for companies to force employees into Arbitration Agreements as a condition of employment and basically force employees into forfeiting their legal rights. Because of that, I don’t feel that the law was enforced, however I do feel that Phil did a good job of listening to my concerns (while keeping an impartial stance) and he did a good job representing me and negotiating in my behalf. While the desired outcome for me would have been fairness and change in the illegal practices displayed by some of the leaders of the corporation, a settlement was reached. As everyone treated unfairly knows, money does not substitute fairness, but it’s what the corporations prefer to offer, instead of accepting responsibility and implementing change.

I was terminated from my job as a long term executive at a large corporation. I hired Mr. Flemming to represent in this matter. I was extremely impressed with not only his knowledge of employment law but his ability to patiently walk me through all of my options. Ultimately, I was able to settle this matter with the assistance of Mr. Flemming. I can highly recommend Mr. Flemming for employment matters.

I was told by my financial advisor the trust my husband and I held needed to be changed since he had passed. I read other reviews about Jeffrey and he was close by. As a revision, I believed it was easier, but he took the time both prior to revising and then during the signing of the final document to explain why there was more to it than a name change. I’ve been to estate planning seminars held by legal firms, and the pricing was the same. I felt more comfortable with a local person and not a big firm where I wouldn’t know who I was really working with. Jeffrey was quick to respond with any questions I sent via email, and I had clear directions on what I needed to do post-signing. I appreciated the estate binder supplied at the end.

To say Florence restored my faith in lawyers is an understatement. I was in search of a lawyer to help me through a civil case and Florence was the only one who took the time to look over my case and respond to my inquires. She not only responded but she responded in great detail. I knew right there she was special. I hired her and we were victorious on that case. I have been consulting with her ever since on various issues. I am now currently involved in another legal matter which she is helping me on. As always, she has been beyond helpful. I ask a lot of questions and she has always been just an email away from answering every single one. What I think is the most amazing thing about Florence, is her communication. She consistently responds within hours, at most, to my numerous emails. I personally find this absolutely incredible. I feel blessed to have found Florence and if I am ever in need of legal assistance, in any fashion , she is my girl!

Navigating bankruptcy was an intimidating and stressful process for me, but working with Diane Drain made all the difference. From our first consultation, Diane was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. She guided me through each step with compassion and clarity, ensuring I understood every detail. Diane's expertise was evident in every interaction, and her commitment to her clients is unparalleled. She was always available to answer my questions and provided detailed explanations, which made the whole process much more manageable. Her paralegal, Jay, was equally supportive and always ready to assist. What stood out to me was Diane's dedication to making sure I felt prepared and protected throughout the entire journey. She went above and beyond to provide not just legal support but also emotional support, helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel. I highly recommend Diane Drain to anyone seeking a bankruptcy attorney. Her skill, compassion, and dedication are truly remarkable, and I am forever grateful for her help in turning a difficult time into a path toward financial freedom. Thank you Diane and Jay!

I found Diane Drain just by going through Google and looking for an attorney who can help me understand bankruptcy. She was quick to reply to my questions and clearly explained what will be expected of me. It was a scary thought for me, filing for bankruptcy because I have always believed that I should he responsible for my debts even if they have been putting me in so much stress that my health started to suffer. But Diane showed me that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that I am not alone in my struggle. Diane and her assistant, Jay, helped me without stressing me more. They made the process easy. They made me feel better and made me learn to accept the fact that I cannot help myself get out of my situation alone, that I needed help. Accepting this fact was hard for me as I have always been an independent person but years of desolation, burdened by debts, have made me so depressed and at the end of my wits. I am so thankful I got to encounter two amazing people who helped me every step of the way.

I highly recommend any issues you may have with your hoa hire him do not try to fight on your own the laws are easily mis leading hard to understand he knew every law Jonathan was able explain why it was not right to me and he was able to have it cleared up fast.

Our HOA sued us over our addition due to a setback violation. We had never had to retain a lawyer before in our lives and suddenly we were in a panic. We contacted Jon Dessaules from Dessaules Law Group and from the first conversation we knew we had come to the right place. Jon knew from experience the possible outcomes and walked us through what would most likely happen. Before our initial conversation, Jon took the time to review the facts about the case and various documents we had provided. We had interviewed 3 other law firms and even started down the road with one of them. The experience with Dessaules Law was night and day. We saw immediate results and even saw a difference in how our HOA began treating us. The HOA went from being arrogant, standoffish, and demanding we tear down our addition to back channeling for a settlement. Jon and his team gave clear answers to our questions and provided straight forward guidance on the best way to proceed with the case. When we gave suggestions or feedback it was incorporated where appropriate. Dessaules Law handled our case in Tucson flawlessly (even though they are 2 hours away in Phoenix). We began the case worried we would have to tear down our entire addition and start over. We ended with a settlement where we did not have to change a thing. We couldn’t be happier with Dessaules Law and Highly recommend them.

Ron recognized this and helped me tremendously. Not only did he help explain the steps and procedures but he also was concerned for me personally because of my emotional state of going through the divorce. Ron always conducted himself professionally. During the pandemic and having to adjust to the virual world was very different. He did an exceptional job in helping me with this.

I hired Ron to resolve insurance co-pays for my last year of Child Support. The original Court Order stated my ex would provide my daughter's insurance and I was responsible for 75% of the co-pays or out of pocket expenses. In 2014 my ex could no longer afford health insurance for my daughter. I took over paying my daughter's health care insurance. My ex waited until 3 months before my daughter's 18th birthday to file documentation with DES for $11,000 of unpaid out of pocket expenses. The actual amount was $4,000. Ron was critical to resolving the issue and my final payment of $4,000. Prior to retaining Ron I had utilized the services of a well known family law firm that was supposed to be one of the best for "father's rights". Ron far exceeded what the original law firm accomplished with my case. Highly Recommended!!!!

Falynn was exactly what we needed during our time of distress. She is extremely knowledgeable and filled our minds with so many great options we had, when we didn't think we had any. Falynn is who you need if you are in need of a resolution while facing a difficult relationship - she is the perfect amount of aggressive! With her many years of experience she is amazing with how she won our case! We are forever grateful for the relationship we have created with Falynn, we are able to console in her in times since our case. She has a tasteful way of being matter of fact.

I had a very positive experience with attorney Yasser Sanchez. I scheduled a consultation and he walked into the room already familiarized with my case and prepared to recommend a solution. He answered all my questions and gave me his full attention. I was very confused about how to resolve my situation and even though, he could have told me to do the work for me and charge me for unnecessary services, he was very honest and suggested me a different path to solve my problem. He also offered me to be ready to represent me if at any point I ended up needing his service that I just needed to call him and that he was going to be ready to step in. I was very skeptical, but he kept his word. I followed his recommendation and he always replied to my messages as I went along. Everything worked out just the way he had explained it. I definitely, would go back to him for any additional work and would recommend him to my friends without a doubt. Additionally, he has a pleasant personality, he is also very professional and confident about dealing with immigration issues.

I needed an attorney and called Mr. Jamal Allen. I spoke directly to him and hired him after consultation. Mr Allen listened to my concerns and explained the legal ramifications of my case. He also asked what was my expectation with regards to case resolution. Mr. Allen was phenomenal in court. He was very professional, had a great understanding of my situation and was experience with his handling of the prosecutor and judge. I wouldn't use any other attorney other than Mr. Allen. Forgot to mention. His price was very reasonable. I was totally satisfied with his services and the court outcome.

I received a DUI first of this year and I was freaking out. It was my first offense, I was panicking and not in a good headspace. So I was stressed to say the least. After seeing what the officer was charging me with I realized I needed a lawyer I could trust that could help me through this messed up situation I got myself into. Unfortunately every criminal defense/DUI lawyer in the Flagstaff area wanted a ridiculous amount of money for my DUI case and were not confident in the outcome. Almost everyone wanted over five thousand to do the case, until I talked to Bryan. He was a realist and didn't promise me any guaranteed outcome, but he was calm and told me he would do everything in his power to help me out. In my time of stress and panic I needed a person like that to calm me down and let me know it was all under control. So I hired him for a reasonable fee and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome, not just because his fee was reasonable but he did an outstanding job for my case. I went from being charged with a felony DUI charge to being brought down to a misdemeanor impaired to slightest degree. Bryan went above and beyond for me and I am eternally grateful for his efforts on helping me during my time of turmoil. If you need a criminal defense lawyer in Flagstaff Arizona for any reason especially a DUI Bryan Antol is your guy!

I was in a serious and first time legal situation and in need of just the right attorney, someone competent and respected, as my initial attorney fumbled the ball so to speak. Bryan Antol came recommended as one of the top criminal defense attorney’s in Arizona, and he absolutely lives up to this recommendation. Switching to him was the best thing I did. He was immediately compassionate and patient with me, offered a very fair fee, and answered all of my questions and concerns with precision. Whether he realizes this or not, he also enabled me to feel safe in the midst of an otherwise very scary time - his calm demeanor and obvious intelligence was just the right mix for my anxiety. He was clear in his approach to my case and helped me to understand the whole legal process (which was all so new to me!). He was able to get the more serious charge dropped, working out a plea agreement that not only kept me out of jail, but was also the absolute most lenient outcome I could’ve hoped for. I am deeply grateful! He was always lightning quick to respond to any of my inquiries or requests throughout my case and his whole staff was courteous and kind. He genuinely cares about his clients and has over 30 years of respected and reputable experience in the Flagstaff area, including over a decade of experience as a former prosecutor. If you want a smart, conpassionate, devoted, and respected lawyer on your side, I highly recommend Bryan and truly cannot thank him enough!

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.
