I had an EEO case and felt very lost. I reached out to a previous law firm before Pitre and Associates, I did not have much faith in them. I continued researching and came across Pitre & Associates. My case was lengthy but it was handled and walked away with what was necessary. My dignity, and being able to apply for the gov with a new, clean SF-50. Overrides all they (the opponents)attended to do to my career. Was also compensated for damages. Pros: you will come out with something good amd benefitial with Pitre & Associates. Cons: It can get costly. Stand up for what you believe in, but be ready to spend some coins. The great thing is Mr. Pitre fights for you to get that money back. Thank you God!! I would certainly hire the firm again. I recommend the firm to anyone feeling lost and dealing with an EEO, Harrassment, hostile work environment, discrimination. I pray, I never get in a position like that again. It was emotionally draining. Michelle was my fave attorney, although I did not have her for too long. It is not just a job to her, she cares for people. I sensed that. Mr. Pitre is extremely knowledgeable and extremely responsive; he became my other fave at the end. My wish is: I had found them sooner for some advice before I had even attempted to deal with this. I was high risk pregnant in a very unhealthy situation. Some professional guidance would have helped. They are on my emergency call list if I come across something like this again.....God willing.

When I arrived to US in 2014 , I met Mr Bauer and his coworkers in his office to discuss my family legal immigration process , Mr Bauer was highly knowledgeable and gave me the timeline for each and every step. My case was very complicated , but thanks to him and to his instructions, everything went smooth and very well done.. I highly recommend Mr Bauer for anyone who just start the immigration process , as you will be dealing with someone knows exactly what he do, and discuss the entire process with all difficulties that you might face .. At last , simply my family couldn’t make it without Mr Bauer and his coworkers effort..

Had a good experience to work with Serge and his team. They’re honest, open, real. My immigration case was a lot of work and they were very specific about every detail, they made me gather as many documents as I could. Probably that’s why I received my green card even without interview. Such a relief. So grateful to Serge and his assistants.

Mr. Bauer helped our family with obtaining green cards more than a decade ago, and last year, he assisted with the green card application for my mother. The whole process went very smoothly, and my mom received her green card within 8 months. Ms. Rachel Cupelo, Mr. Bauer’s assistant, did an excellent job, being very meticulous and responsive. Knowing Mr. Bauer’s high professionalism, we have recommended his firm to our friends over many years and will continue doing so.

Ben was both highly knowledgeable on the various legal and tax implications of the move and very quick and efficient at executing the change. Ben also structured the changes and explainedeach step clearly, so that each contract and document was easy to understand. He made what could have been a long and complicated process, one that was easy for us and complete within no time at all. We would absolutely recommend Ben for others seeking a lawyer with experience working with small companies and expertise in U.S. business and tax law.

I am a father of two kids and a project manager. My divorce was the first process in my life that I had no idea how to manage despite having a career working with people and two advanced degrees. My (then) wife simply dropped all communication and I could not get her to talk about the roadmap for separation and divorce even though we still lived under the same roof (and it was her idea). After being in this situation for over a year, I was getting depressed. I had consulted an attorney who had recommended me to just give my would-be-ex everything that she wanted. Then I found Ms Moheyer's support group and it changed my life. Every other week, for years, she has led this call-in forum for fathers at different stages of their divorce situations - pro bono, as community service! That group gave me the knowledge of what's possible and the confidence to be able to move things forward. In addition, I took an online workshop (the best $100 spent in my life) and got the tips on establishing dialogue with the partner that leads to re-establishing the degree of mutual trust enough to complete the divorce. Several month later, we were able to nail down some bullet points that were appropriate for us and helped us avoid litigation. We filed for mutual consent divorce with property separation and shared custody, and several more months later this was done. I still can't believe that in a matter of nine months, Ms Mohyer's support group and her workshop resources helped me get from a very dark place to personal freedom, stamped and approved by the court in MD. I still attend the support group to discuss the challenges of co-parenting, and this experience is invaluable. Here is why I would recommend this attorney: *she never pushes services on you. Instead, she lays out the options and I saved a lot by doing the things I had an option of doing the prep work by myself (like collecting some paperwork) that another attorney would have done at a handsome hourly rate). *She uses psychology to provide tools that enable some kind of dialogue between parties, making the process less painful and less expensive. I have recommended Ms Jennifer Moheyer to a number of friends, and now that my divorce is in the past and the "paper is dry", I hope someone in a similar situation (in DC, MD, VA) can get assistance.

I have known Jenna since 2008 and have always thought highly of her. I learned the INCREDIBLE value of her legal skills a few days ago. My wife has been abusing our marriage for 2.5 years. Jenna helped me level the field in 2 days!! She first cleared the fog, and helped me see the abuse clearly. Then she strategized with her team, came up with a plan and gave me clear instructions. It was extremely helpful, I could not be happier with how it turned out. My divorce is pending, and I have no doubt it will turn out the way I want with Jenna's help. Very highly recommended!

Ms. Axmith is a lawyer who most definitely stands out. I called her office to leave a message at 10 pm and was surprised to find she picked up the phone because she was working late on a case. She gave me some initial advice that put me at ease, and didn't charge any consultation fees. My initial impression of her is that she is a very experienced and no-nonsense lawyer who would go to bat for you if you were being threatened or intimidated. I really liked her from the get go because I felt she was on my side without judging me or making me feel small. I walked away feeling empowered and less befuddled. I would definitely recommend calling her if you are in a bind and she will help you or steer you in the right direction. All the best to you, your clients and your endeavors Ms. Axmith.

Since I was the only White Collar member of the Blue Collar Union Local which I helped form to protect the people who work for the Motor Vehicle Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor Michigan, when I needed a Lawyer I went to the President of my Union. He recommended Edward Passman who is a Washington D.C. Attorney. I selected A Washington D.C. Attorney because my case should be adjudicated to help not just me but all other people who have been assaulted as I have been by the USEPA and other Government Agencies and must be settled in Washington D.C.. Mr. Passman turned out to be one of the few Attorneys I have met who I could trust 100% and we thought so much alike that we could complete each other’s sentences when we were working together, though I have never met him in person. If I am really lucky some day I will meet Mr. Passman.

I retained Mr. Passman to represent me for disability discrimination in my federal workplace. Mr. Passman was extremely thorough, honest, fair, professional and always looked out for my best interest. Mr. Passman’s billing is beyond fair as he does not nickel and dime his hourly billing. There are many times Mr. Passman either did not charge for communication, or charged a fraction of what should have been billed. Mr. Passman looked out for my best interest instead of dragging out the case to better suit his firm financially. Mr. Passman’s experience and confidence was apparent in all aspects of my case. He has an outstanding reputation in the area of employment law and his reputation preceded him when he worked with my agency to settle the case. If you want outstanding representation and someone you can trust, Mr. Passman is the best choice.

I had the opportunity to seek advice from Mr. Passman and his professionalism, knowledge and honesty were beyond appreciated. Mr. Passman was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls and listened to my concerns/questions without interrupting or providing hasty advice. Mr. Passman's advice allowed me to move forward with confidence and he answered all of my questions thoroughly and without reservation. I am thankful I did not have to pursue a case against my employer, however, I would not have hesitated to retain the services of Mr. Passman if needed. I would recommend Mr. Passman without hesitation to anyone seeking counsel who needs experienced, professional and honest representation.

My lawyer, Andrellos Mitchell, is an outstanding litigation attorney. He represented me in a real estate case involving my condominium where the Condo Association and its Management Company breached their contractual obligations after a fire damaged my unit. The defendants hired very large law firms. They tried to get the case dismissed, but were unsuccessful. Mr. Mitchell is ethical, knowledgeable, and aggressive in the litigation process. He fights hard for his clients, but he isn't cheap. In the legal profession, you get what you pay for. While Mr. Mitchell does not make any guarantees of success, he does promise to give you his best efforts and seek a positive outcome for you. All he asks in return is that you cooperate with him, assist him with your case, and pay your bill.

Mary A. Mr. Mitchell is an excellent employment lawyer. Ignore the fake negative reviews. Mr. Mitchell was hired for my employment case in state government. He responded quickly. We met for a business lunch. He is very articulate and thorough in his interview and review of your documents. He quickly contacted my employer in writing and is handling the matter. I have not had any more harassment at my job to date. In fact, my employer has tried to offer me a promotion. For Your Information (FYI): The negative reviews are from fake clients. 1. Real clients don’t make “inquiries” when they contact a lawyer. That’s not how the legal business works. 2. Real clients pay money for a consultation fee to meet with the lawyer. 3. Real clients sign a retainer agreement and pay a retainer fee for representation. 4. Fake/Broke clients don’t want to pay for legal services. 5. Google and some other sites allow anyone to make reviews without proof that the person actually hired the lawyer. So the sites can’t be trusted. 6. Fake reviewers are trying to blackmail my lawyer for money. Not going to happen. 7. Don’t believe the fake reviews, Mr. Mitchell is a great lawyer!

Eric Singer has changed my life in ways that words cannot begin to describe. He took my case and to say it was an uphill battle from the begging is an understatement. Eric also sets realistic expectations, he describes the complexity of the case, his approach and different path going forward depending on the outcome. His prices are amongst the fairest in the field, his ability to work with Clients with financial constraints compares to none. I paid the deposit, set up monthly payments and believe it or not, he started on my case the very next morning. My case went through so many Immigration Court in Virginia, USCIS matters in Baltimore and Florida, he was there every step of the way. The scope of the work we covered is rather sweeping: litigating and succeeding in vacating the absentia order of removal, understanding and undoing the damage done by two prior attorneys, getting removal proceeding dismissed, getting the I-130 approved and interview prepping. I am now a legal permanent resident of the United States ( feels so good to say that) and none of it would have been possible without Eric Singer

After speaking with two other law firms, we decided to hire Eric Menhart, Esq. to represent us when dealing with a copyright infringement lawsuit. We hired him because he was by far the most experienced attorney we talked to in dealing with this type of legal issue, and found him very easy to relate to. He was very professional and responded promptly to all our questions either via email or by phone. He dealt with all the issues involved in our case, and clearly explained our options at each new development during the negotiation process, which took about 2 months to resolve. We are very satisfied with his representation and the outcome of the case.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Mr. K. Lawson. I was referred to him by a trusted connection—my sister’s friend, who is also an attorney. Unfortunately, this turned into a regrettable ordeal. First and foremost, he misrepresented himself as a civil attorney, claiming to be qualified to handle my case. Despite this claim, he never gave me an opportunity to explain the details of my situation. He was dismissive, condescending, and seemed to predetermine the outcome of my case without listening to or reviewing all the facts. His approach was stern, rude, and entirely unprofessional, leaving me feeling disrespected and unheard. To make matters worse, when my attorney reached out to address the situation and request the return of my funds, he never responded. His refusal to communicate or resolve the issue speaks volumes about his lack of accountability and professional integrity. I would never recommend his services to anyone. Legal matters require a degree of trust and understanding between attorney and client, and that trust was completely broken in this case. If you’re seeking legal representation, I encourage you to look elsewhere for someone who will respect you, listen to your concerns, and act ethically in their practice.

I was searching for a tax lawyer to amend some tax returns for an error made by my previous accountant and luckily I was able to find Mr. Rackett. The level of service that Kent provided was far beyond my expectations. Mr. Rackett is a proactive, responsive, effective, and extremely knowledgeable tax lawyer and tax accountant. In an era where exceptional one-to-one service excellence has virtually disappeared, the work that Kent did for me should be held up as an example for other tax lawyers to try to emulate. What particularly impressed me about the level of service provided by Mr. Rackett was that all the work was virtually done from one day to the next one. This allowed the expedited processing of all my time-critical amended tax returns. His outstanding knowledge of tax law also allowed me to save thousands of dollars and his fees were very reasonable and fair with a very simple and clear billing system that had no hidden fees or costs. Mr. Rackett was also very punctual, returned phone calls and emails promptly and was extremely generous with his time and advice never rushing and always ensuring all my questions were answered to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Mr. Rackett to anybody who is looking for an honest, knowledgeable, effective and highly professional tax lawyer who will get the job successfully done for a very reasonable fee.

In the second, retaliation case, Mr. Vernia obtained a substantial monetary settlement from the company. In the third case, Mr. Vernia tirelessly defended me, my family, and my small business against a large company who filed a meritless strike suit in their attempt to take my business down as its only competitor. Mr. Vernia filed dozens of motions and fought to the end against the company and its 21-person team consisting of fourteen lawyers. As a result of Mr. Vernia’s effort and his knowledge of the Defense Trade Secret Act, we won the entire case on summary judgment, while exposing the company’s lies and fabrications.

Ben Vernia’s is an absolute gem of a lawyer. His calm personality made me feel safe when everything was falling apart. He took care of me like no other attorney has ever done. He got me the outcome I wanted and I highly recommend his law firm.

He literally saved the case. I found myself in a bind: headed to a notorious Circuit Court and the senior attorney I had hired had pawned my case off to a junior associate who had botched it all. In fact, we were weeks from submitting the brief and they were totally unprepared. I was given the name of Ben Vernia from successful attorneys in that circuit and called. Most folks aren’t interested in federal whistleblowers who did the right thing but aren’t likely to yield lots and lots of cash, but Mr. Vernia cared more about saving my dignity and preserving my case. Mr. Vernia got right to work on my case and impressed me in several important ways. He was transparent about his fees. He estimated hours in advance so I could plan approximate costs. This kept my anxiety and budget within control. Mr. Vernia was calm and compassionate. He listened to me. He was respectful. He helped me understand the process we would be engaging in so I could know what to expect. Mr. Vernia was skilled. He developed careful arguments and delivered them expertly. I was so impressed. I would happily employ him as an attorney in the future. He is a wonderful person and professional.

Mr. Sparks is the most awsome lawyer you can ever hire!! He was able to settle my personal injury case with ease and set up a structured settlement on my daughters behalf which will accumulate 10,000 extra dollars towrads her settlement portion by the time she is 18. This was at no extra cost to me or my daughter and he handled it perosnally. Doug really cares about his clients by showing compassion and empathy and does everything in his power to get the maximum amount of money for his clients. I would definitely recommend Douglas Sparks to anyone!!

I was rear-ended by a pickup truck and suffered serious back and neck injuries. Unfortunately, the driver that hit me had a relatively low liability insurance policy. But Mr. Sparks got that insurance company to settle for the driver’s maximum limits. Then, he got my insurance company to pay a lot more because I had a much higher underinsured policy coverage limit. I was very happy with the final outcome. My family and I suffered a lot in the accident’s aftermath, and Mr. Sparks stood by me every step of the way. He is an incredibly detailed, skilled and accessible lawyer … and a really good human being too.

Mr. Sparks took the time to make our situation a priority, we got emails and phone calls right away, he is available when you need him!! He is extremely professional and takes his role very seriously and can be trusted to the utmost degree. He does not make you feel like you are a hassle for asking questions or that you are just a paycheck like many, many others we spoke to. I would recommend Mr. Sparks to anyone that has even the slightest doubt that they may need representation, there is no one I would want or trust more to have in my corner.

From the initial in-person consult through the settlement process, Mr. Shaibani and his team have been nothing but top notch! Through out the process they made themselves available to answer any questions (phone and/or email) and provided me with status updates on my case.

Ms. Denny went toe to toe with the lawyer of the national luxury housing corporation of which I was a tenant of after my roommate (who was on probation for attacking someone and whom physically attacked my close friend numerous times) had threatened physical violence against me on recording. Under DC Code § 42–3505.07, the leasing office is required by law to release tenants who reside with someone who has harmed or threaten to harm them--however the lawyers at the leasing office would not recognize me under the law when I went about it on my own. After Ms. Denny got involved, the dispute was settled out of court within a couple short weeks (which had previously been going on for months) and I was eventually released from my lease at zero expense to me. I certainly would not have achieved that outcome without the help of Ms. Denny.

Prior to meeting Al and Pat, our case had already been underway for a couple of years with another firm, and it was in need of additional expertise and resources. Despite being faced with the unprecedented challenges of litigating during the Covid-19 pandemic, Al’s patience and tenacity were unwavering. He worked intensively with the defense council and negotiated a settlement. The final outcome provided us with a great deal of closure and consolation. It was a long road, but Al was certainly the best travel partner anyone could ask for.

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.

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.
