Attorney Readyoff represented us in a LL/tenant matter (as property owners) and we are confident his careful and measured approach was crucial in the matter being resolved quickly and without complication. I was angry about the issue we brought to him, and without judgement of my emotions, he suggested a solution that initially seemed very procedural to me, but we fully committed to his recommendation. Once he started the process, things changed drastically with the tenant. In ways, it appeared very little happened, but it made all the difference: we regained possession of the property. He never personally contacted the tenant and reminded us not to engage them. Such matters are never comfortable, but Dan's professionalism and graciousness toward everyone made things manageable. I really respect the way he handled this matter, and I appreciate the outcome. We are grateful for Attorney Readyoff's help.

I have had a mental health condition for over 25 years now and because I often refused to take my medication I racked up a pretty extensive criminal history. A rap sheet. When I received charges of Robbery, Threatening, and Assault I feared I would be doing some more jail time probably like a year or so. Fortunately, a bail bondsman recommended Attorney Klein to my wife. We had a consultation with him. After reading the police report and asking me a few questions Atty. Klein immediately noticed that there was no Robbery and no way that a judge would convict me on that charge. Right away he was going to take the felony out of the equation. He also said that because there were mitigating circumstances he could probably get the two misdemeanors of 2nd degree Threatening and 3rd degree Assault reduced to probation. I was confident in his ability after speaking with him and seeing some of his testimonials on the wall in his waiting room. So we retained him. In the first meeting with the prosecutor, the prosecutor brought to the surface that I had fourteen convictions. I was worried, but confident in my counsel. Atty. Klein did just what he said he was going to do and he got the Robbery charge thrown out. So now we were left with two charges, one of them being violent. Atty. Klein told the prosecutor we could settle with a short amount of probation. I was still a little worried that the prosecutor might not agree to my Attorney's proposal but Atty. Klein informed me that the prosecutor was considering it based on how the victim reacted. So we had to wait longer while the victim's advocate did their job. It turns out God was with me because the victim did not want to condemn me but just to see me get some help. So when all the dust finally cleared after long continuances do to Covid 19. Atty. Klein did exactly what he said he could do in his consultation and the Robbery charge was dismissed and I was able to plead out to two misdemeanors and ended up with a short probation. At the time I was eligible for a public defender, but after years of dealing with court system I know that had I chose to take that course my outcome would not have been as good. A public defender also known as public pretender in the incarceration system and is a state's attorney just as a prosecutor is a state's attorney. In my experience they are just there to facilitate ease of operations between the judge and the prosecutor and the accused. They don't take the time to really hear you out or fight for your case. If you are facing charges spend the money and hire a good private attorney because in the long run you'll be glad you did. And if you need to hire a good private attorney hire Atty. Klein in Hartford. He is a powerful lawyer with almost 50 years of experience. He was able to keep me out of jail and he can do it for you too.

August of 2016 I came to Attorney Davis with a mess involving my teenage son. In the past, I had worked with several attorneys that delivered poor results and wasted a lot of my money. I found Attorney Davis through a referral from another highly regarded Attorney that was too busy to take my case at the time. Immediately Attorney Davis took the case on and began working on the situation within 24 hours of agreeing on the use of her services. Over the last year and a half Attorney Davis navigated my case through the courts and strategically worked with the other involved attorneys on my behalf. While working with Attorney Davis I have found that she is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, thoughtful, strategic, conscious, and a truly amazing person. I can confidently recommend Attorney Davis for family matters involving children. Attorney Davis has been fair and the cost for using her services was worth every penny. I would consider Attorney Davis to be a true adversary of families with a strong moral compass, and passion for giving clients her absolute best work. Thank you, Attorney Davis you are awesome and I truly appreciate all that you do!

Chris Wanat helped me on a very difficult case where previous attorneys were missing imperative details that were holding up a resolution. This was a liability claim against my company and this is what they specialize in. The money was well worth it and reasonable. Thanks to his services, I paid $0 to prosecutor's client and Chris had my insurance pay the entire balance where they were refusing with previous attorneys. This case has obviously brought a tremendous amount of stress to me and my employees and we are forever grateful for them taking the time to analyze the details when it really mattered. Don't waste your time or money with anyone else when faced with this kind of lawsuit.

My child has a learning disability and after being denied by the school board that they would not place my child out of district to be educated to accommodate his educational needs I needed help in getting my child in a school that was appropriate for him.

Before Robin the school my son was attending didn't provide appropriate support and continued to say "no" to everything I asked for. Now my son is in an appropriate setting, with an amazing team, & amazing education plan. This is because Robin provided data supporting counsel and didn't take " no" for an answer. If you want YES results Robins the way to go.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

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.

      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.

    • 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.

      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.
