Our family has the deepest respect for this law office. Stasia’s excellent attitude, preparedness, and patience streamlined our estate planning. She made us feel very confident in our decisions and unafraid to ask questions at any time. This was the most comfortable I’ve ever felt signing so many documents and talking about my own death. Thank you for your kindness and expertise.

A neighbor highly recommended Stasia to us after she made a house call to conduct estate planning for their elderly mother. It was our pleasure to work with this attorney. She made the estate planning process easy to understand and economical to accomplish. It turned out that our childcare fell through on the day of our initial meeting. Instead of asking us to reschedule, Stasia welcomed our children with snacks and prepared a play area for them so that we could concentrate on the task at hand. In today's fast-paced world, it is a pleasure to meet someone so willing to go beyond. Highly recommended.

We retained Ms. Demos in the context of a foster adoption proceeding. She came alongside our family during a legally (and emotionally) precipitous time. Her responsiveness, knowledge, attention to detail, and compassion were indispensable to us (and the flowers she brought for our daughter on the day of her final adoption hearing were a final affirmation that we had chosen just the right advocate). We recommend her regularly to other foster parents in the community and anticipate a continued relationship as we now move forward with estate planning.

We were crashing on a deadline, and she was busy during the work day so she called us at 10PM after a full busy day of her work and family activities. We certainly appreciate her helpfulness.

I moved back from overseas with my daughter to fight for custody for my child. Caitlin and her team were wonderful in every aspect. She faught for us when I didn’t know what to do. She constantly stayed in contact with me throughout the process, went above and beyond in research and dedication to my case, truly making me feel like her family. She was extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of her job. She helped settle our case to my liking and when I asked for it to be reopened about a year later; Caitlin was right there. If I needed her now, I know she would only be a phone call away. I truly could not have it without her. She saved my family.

2015 I was a single mom going through a horrific divorce . I wasn’t getting anywhere with my previous lawyer and fired that non experienced lawyer and contacted Hunt Hassler Miller law firm. I spoke with a nice paralegal named Jolyn. She gave a brief description of each lawyer in office . Caitlin Miller description stood out to me. She explained kindly Caitlin’s protocols and I knew she would be the one I would want to interview for my case . After meeting with Caitlin, I instantly hired her . She was so understanding and I could tell she personally cared about my situation and most importantly that office treated me like family. She is very detailed , thorough , and she listens . She knew how important my kids meant to me and keeping them safe . She did exactly that! She kept us safe ! She even seen me struggled financially through out the few years and bought diapers and wipes for my 3 kids . Her office set up payment arrangements with me which was a great help! She was such a blessing to my family! Especially when the father of my children stepped out of their lives , she stepped into our lives ! Couple years later , I am remarried and we have hired Caitlin again for our adoption case ! Again, her services have been outstanding. She has offered advice , emotional support and has been there to answer any questions we have had . I give this lawyer 10+ stars ! #CAITLINMILLER #1

I hired Jill after having my first consultation with her, to help me get through my divorce. I knew that my ex would try to run me over in court and as a male I was going to be in for the fight of my life. Jill was very understanding and so helpful throughout the fight. She helped me keep my time with my kids and helped me to get what I was deserved but being denied by my ex. After the divorce was final my ex made my life even harder and put my children in a situation that was even more dangerous, so I hired Jill again to help with the custody battle. After much fighting and a huge uphill climb she helped me gain full custody of my children and keep them safe. I owe so much to her and am so happy that I made her my attorney, she truly was and is a life saver!

Both my wife and I had hired Jill as our attorney for different areas and were very satisfied with her professional services. This was our second marriage and each of us worked with Jill and seperate issues. I can say that she was excellent to work with. Jill was very easy to talk to, very knowledgable, and provided me with excellent legal advice. She was very responsive and returned calls and email immediately. Even though the outcome of my case didn't go in my favor, it was of no reflection on the part of Jill. I would highly recommend her for legal assistance and would use her services again if needed.

I have been represented by Jill Swope on several occasions for custody/support issues. While these issues were not very pleasant to deal with, the end result of each situation was successful. Her return communications to me (emails/phone calls) were prompt. More importantly, Jill was very professional and knowledgeable. She was candid with me as to what my options were and I appreciated that. Should I require legal representation in the future, I would definitely return to Jill Swope.

I can’t adequately express how thankful I am for Derrick Wilson. Having him in my corner has literally changed my life! Before hiring Mr. Wilson, I spent 5 years feeling like a victim and being scared of my ex-husband. Co-parenting was a nightmare. When I finally couldn’t take anymore I decided I needed an attorney. When I walked into my first consultation meeting with Mr. Wilson I was a jumbled mess who felt powerless. Derrick listened to my concerns and provided excellent guidance on my parental rights and possible next steps. By the time our meeting was over I felt confident and ready for the road ahead. It’s been a year since that first meeting and Derrick has been by my side every step of the way! I can confidently say that hiring him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I no longer feel scared or powerless thanks to Derrick’s help! He exceeded all of my expectations and has provided a sense of peace that I didn’t think was possible. If you are considering hiring an attorney, Derrick Wilson is the one you need!!

We found Anna well qualified with her training and experience to guide us, to follow up, and address any problems or answer any questions in a very timely manner.

He and Adam worked well together and caught several discrepancies in the opposing legal filing which proved it was false. He presented my case concisely before the judge. Very professional. I was pleased with how Matt was sensitive to extra expenses which would be incurred if we took a certain route, which we eventually did not; that to me is a mark of integrity. The matter was resolved exactly as I hoped, and I will definitely recommend this team to anyone who needs an attorney.

Matt represented me regarding contempt charges against my ex for his refusal to follow the conditions of the divorce decree and turn over assets to me. Complicated and difficult case and I am so very thankful he was on my side representing me. He argued on my behalf so brilliantly and fiercely that my friends who attended the hearing to support me told me afterward how impressed they were with his tenacity, skill, and knowledge. He stood up for me and did not let the opposing attorney get away with a single one of his attempts to twist the truth. Cannot praise Matt and his firm highly enough! I could not have endured the very long and extremely contentious hearing without Matt on my side fighting for me. I don't know how he could argue so well for so long (2 hours!) without making a mistake or showing emotion with what the opposing attorney was claiming, but he did. So instead of feeling completely stressed, I was able to sit back, relax, and let him handle it all. I feel If had hired a lawyer from another firm, I truly would have been in trouble. I hope I never need legal representation again but if I do, I will call BlackClay immediately. Honest, reputable, knowledgable, and fight very hard! Highly, highly recommend!

I highly recommend Matt (BlackClay). He and Adam took my issues seriously and were very quick to respond to every phone call and email, usually within 2 hours. They are honest, dependable, knowledgable, responsible, and have great integrity. I am extremely thankful they represented me in an extremely difficult situation. Do not hesitate to hire Matt and Adam. They are the best attorneys I have ever worked with!

My husband and I went to 4 attorney's outside of Grant Co. and no one seemed to understand what we were going through.. I desperately posted on a FB group about needing an attorney experienced in the type of child custody issue such as ours and it so happened his staff commented with information, I called and set an appt., 1st thing Todd doesn't bullshit he tells you if he can take your case or not, he tells you what you need to move forward without rushing you out the door... my husband and I were trying to obtain custody of his then 5 year old son due to allegations brought to us of abuse and neglect, Todd and his staff explained to us we needed the solid evidence not just he said she said... it took me almost 1 year to obtain everything needed and during that time we had to of visited the office 4-5 times for consults Todd never charged us for. He always gave us advice and we moved forward with that until we were able to gather everything we needed, once the case was on its way to the courts Todd Glickfield and his office worked with us on payments for his service never forcing an astronomical amount on us! Every step of the way he was with us in a professional and supportive manner. February of 2017 thanks to the guidance and advice from Todd Glickfield as well as support from his staff my husband was able to drive to go pick up his son whom he hadn't seen since 2014, March of 2017 thanks to hard work of attorney Todd Glickfield we were granted full custody with no restrictions... sometimes I think people are more offended that they are spoken to in a matter of fact instead of being bowed down too, I am very grateful for the no bs, no sale, not being treated like just another buck from Todd's office! if it wasn't for his amazing work and advice we wouldn't have our son, I recommend his expertise 110% but just keep in mind... don't go in there expecting a butt kissing because you think you have a case haha lol sit and listen! its worth it in the end!

Mr. Glickfield is different. He isn't going to tell you what you want to hear, he will tell you how he sees it. Refreshingly blunt. I found him to be highly intelligent, well versed in the law and his community. I believe him to be a very capable lawyer. I recommend him without hesitation.

PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST is the best credit repair company I have used so far, my first feel for their service is a recommendable experience; I wasn’t charged an upfront payment on getting my credit report fixed, which is unlike other credit repair companies, a friend recommended this to me when she got her credit fixed by them, I embraced the idea of no upfront payment, to meet the eligibility requirement I opened an account with them for a reduced rate fee, I had bad credit back then and thought I wasn’t possible to get my good credit report, but I got it all thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for their service, before this I went to several other credit repair companies but they were not eligible for it not until I found right one, thanks for existing for people like me, I strongly recommend PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST.

He worked hard on my case (which I was told I would have to agree to prison time with other attorneys) and as a result I am free and clear. Completely aquitted from a situation that was not my fault.

So happy to be able to check "get new wills" off the "to do" list. My husband and I had wills drawn up about 30 years ago when the kids we young (and we were too!). Needless to say many things have changed since then I knew the old wills were outdated but never seemed to get around to doing anything about it. A quick email to Mr. Schwemmer changed all that. Drafting, and filing the new documents, was easy and painless with with his guidance.

I've known Mr. Schwemmer since 2008. I've always regarded him as a very knowledgeable, and kind person. I was always welcome to ask him questions. In late December, I was leaving my job. The day I told my boss when my last day was, my boss told me that I had to pay a fine, and lawyer bill from an incident that I had caused. I panicked. I did not make enough to be able to pay such money, and I didn't have anything saved up. After communicating with my family, I was told I should make sure I was legally obligated to do so, just in case. I turned to Mr. Schwemmer for advice. I didn't know who else to turn to. I'm glad I talked to him. He was very attentive to my situation, and asked a lot of questions. He knew to get all the facts first. He was quick, and informative. He helped me even when it wasn't in his area of expertise. He made sure to cross-reference his information, and he gave me quotes of the information for my own use. What impressed me most was that he helped me even though he knew we would not gain anything from it, other than my deepest thanks.

Chris Schmidgall handled my expungement and sealing cases in Indiana relating to charges that were either dropped or dismissed by the Court. While several other attorneys would not even call me back, Chris immediately stepped in and took initiative to help me and my family out. Specifically, he thoroughly investigated all the legal elements of my case and frequently consulted with his legal assistants on the matter to prepare the best motions and petitions possible. To say it simply, his legal motions are excellent and he strongly argues the law. In addition, he sends copies of everything to the client for his/her review and incorporates that feedback into his legal framework. Aside from the legal arena, he has a very friendly demeanor and is always asking what he can do to help. Without any reservations, I would strongly recommend Chris Schmidgall to anyone needing criminal defense assistance or other legal help for which he is qualified. You will not regret it.

He kept us out of court and got the prosecuting attorney to drop charges.

What John Barrett did for me is barely something I can describe in a small review box to be frank. I went to him in somewhat of a frantic and panic state and needed help and thats exactly what he did. We filed for modification of custody for my daughter in a case that legally seemed impossible but for my daughter and I was the most important thing in the world and Mr. Barrett realized and never gave up on us. He helped me every step of the way and took my seemingly endless phone calls and questions and at the end of the road, we won. My beautiful daughter is now happy and well on her way to healing thanks to whom I just do not consider an attorney, but as well a friend.

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.
