Brendan represented me in a case where I was involved in a traffic accident. He was always there for me and explained everything in a manner that was simple. He covered all necessary bases and minimized any further issues as a result of these alleged criminal and civil charges. He was able to get them dropped and reduced to a manageable fine and probation. The best possible outcome for a case of my kind. Brendan was the best choice for me and I would recommend him to anyone out there. He will be able to give your case the attention it deserves opposed to other overpriced overworked lawyers who only concern themselves with their biggest money cases and brush you aside. Try him out, you will not be disappointed.

The entire process has been themed by communication, explanation/education of the process and a sense of care regarding our case. So far, it appears details are being considered and brought to light to help with the success of the case as well. Guidance in regard to sources we can supply to have the best possible outcome for the case as well.

Mr. Colon represented my wife in a personal injury suit resulting from an auto accident. Although the other motorist was found at fault her insurance coverage did not adequately cover the damages sought. Mr. Cloon sought an award through our carrier. He clearly informed us of the law and went to great lengths to seek a just settlement through mediation since court dockets were badly backed up due to the COVID 19 pandemic. His perseverence led to a surprisingly fair settlement after considerable effort on his part. During this time he regularly kept us informed of his progress and proved a diligent and considerate couselor. We would recommend Mr. Cloon without hesitation or reservation.

I am not sure I can adequately put into words about the service and care Bryson Cloon provided to my husband and I. He was very detailed, professional and spoke in language we could understand. If we had a question or concern he would within minutes. I know he worked long hours because my husband had thousands of pages of medical records he had to review. I pray nothing like what happened to us happens again but Bryson will be one of the first people we call. Thank you Mr Cloon for advocating for us.

From the beginning when I 1st called John Campbell he was very concern in what I was explaining , that was very important to me because I had never been in the situation that I was experiencing, I went to meet with John and when he began explaining, he did it with great consideration to speak to me where I would understand, that let me know I could trust him and know he would be great as my Attorney, with that being said I would highly recommend Mr. Campbell.

My first contact with John Campbell was very pleasant. He patiently listened to my concerns and addressed every one of them. Our meetings were always positive and hopeful for me as I had been struggling with this legal matter over four years. No matter how many times I needed to contact John, either by phone or email he was always kind, never acted like I was bothering him. He told me to contact him anytime and if I had questions, ask. He never made me feel like I was uneducated about the law. He always explained all questions I had. After going through an investigation, a 3 Lawyer panel inquiry and a Supreme Court Hearing (that lasted over 3 years) I had almost lost all hope but John shown a light on my case and reached a settlement for me. I have nothing but praise for John, the way I was treated and the way he handled my case expeditiously.

Richard P Hadel has held the position as my legal support for many years and has acted as a trusted consigliere in every situation. Whether it be centered around family and volatile emotion, or as simple as preparing a will, he has always maintained open, honest communication and professionalism. In every interaction, it is always apparent that the client is priority one and that he cares about, not only the job that he does, but the results that he achieves. He has had to play "devil's advocate" at times to help me take the emotion out of situations in order to deal with the facts. He has helped me achieve the needed outcome and lessen the collateral damage, every time. Whenever anyone that I know has been in a situation where they have had to "lawyer up", Richard P Hadel has always been and will always be the person I recommend. Even if it is not something that he handles, he always provides direction and light at the end of the tunnel. He's the person you want in your corner.

I have never particularly been in any substantial trouble with the law, but last year my life nearly turned upside down when I was faced with a false sexual battery accusation that would have left me, an innocent law abiding man, with over a decade on the sex offender registry had it not been for the exemplary support of Jerry Merril. Not only did Jerry go absolutely above and beyond to cover every possible issue in my case, spending countless hours going through piles of evidence, conducting investigations and research, coordinating work with experts, filing strategic motions, etc., but gave me an absolute steal of a deal in fees that essentially ended up equaling the value of three lawyers for the price of one. Furthermore, Jerry explained things thoroughly and clearly to me every step of the way, making sure that I understood every decision that was made that eventually led to my full innocence. Jerry is not only very easy to speak to but also shows genuine care and concern for his clients, and I am proud to say that I am now free to live my best life thanks to his astounding efforts in my case. I would absolutely reccomend him to anybody facing any legal issues; 5+ stars!

Jerry Merrill is a great defense attorney. He recently represented my son, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend Jerry Merrill to anyone needing a dedicated and caring professional attorney. One of Jerry's finest attributes is his keen ability to understand people. Jerry is a good listener, who is easy to talk with, and will spend the time necessary to answer questions, or address any concerns. Jerry will work hard for the best possible outcome for the defendant.

Jerry is a diligent, compassionate, and committed lawyer. I got into some trouble for the first time in my life (I am in my 5th decade) and he understood that the only fair outcome for my case was complete and utter eradication of the charges. He didn't promise that but said in certain cases that could be achieved. I had interviewed another attorney prior to meeting Jerry who I am sure would have been competent, but I don't believe would have gone the extra mile that Jerry went to acheive my goal of expungement. Not only did he achieve that goal but he kept me informed every step of the way so as to reduce my anxiety. He thinks outside the box so that in working the complex and frightening criminal justice system, I was not left to become a statistic but an innocent vindicated citizen. I would recommend Jerry to anyone who needs an advocate.

I unfortunately, waited too long to finally take that first step to obtaining some legal assistance from a vehicle collision. If I had it (which I hope I do NOT) to do over again, I would have sought the legal advice immediately after I noticed pain as result of the accident. Although, I was reluctant to obtain a lawyer, I couldn't be more satisfied with the services and advise Mr. Geren provided. He is knowledgeable, willing to listen, and works diligently to understand his client's needs and demands. Most of us just want to be treated fairly when unfortunate situations arise that are beyond our control. Mr. Geren will thoroughly explain your options and do all he can to make you feel comfortable while doing so. He can turn a very difficult and sometimes unfair event into a more positive experience. Mr. Geren is compassionate and does his best to show you that you are important, and regardless of what kind of pain and suffering you may be going through, he shows you that you don't have to be doing it alone, nor do you have to "accept" what has become- as a result determined by the insurance companies involved. I believe he deeply cares about each of his clients. He does what he can to make things right. Most importantly, he does this with integrity, compassion, and with care. If ever you find yourself not feeling the same as before an accident, and you have exhausted the resources the insurance companies first give you, seek legal advise from Andrew Geren. I assure you, you won't be disappointed or regret that you had. He will guide you through the entire process, explaining thoroughly every detail along the way so that you understand completely. There will be no pressure, only guidance and suggestions and very good advise.

There is no way to express in words how amazing Ethan was. We had dealt with a different attorney prior to hiring Ethan and the minute we had our consultation with him, we knew Ethan was the attorney we should have hired in the beginning. He is very detailed and explains things so there is no stone left unturned. Ethan always answered our questions as quickly as possible and showed us respect, kindness, and investment in our case. Ethan knows exactly what to do and is confident and direct with his counsel. The professionalism and attention we received from him are beyond excellent. I am extremely grateful for what Ethan did by representing my husband and essentially, our family. He was able to help us win the disability case we had been fighting to win for two years and also secure benefits for our children. I can't say in words how I will always be grateful to Ethan.

I give him a 10 star rating and I want to thank AVVO for putting his firm on the list to contact. I waited for three months and was not getting medical care. A week after retaining his firm I was getting the care I should have in the beginning. We have a ways to go yet but I am no longer worried about it because I have a firm who cares about me and my family. They care about the law and the rights that are so often deprived of people.

It’s 2020. We were in a pandemic AND we had a stalker problem. On the advice of responding law enforcement officers to yet another harassment report, we submitted petitions for Protection from Stalking to the court. We clearly didn’t know what we were doing because we were unsuccessful in obtaining temporary orders. We were feeling vulnerable and afraid in our own home and we needed legal advice. David J Brown came highly recommended by multiple people familiar with our situation with this caveat: “He isn’t cheap but he is worth every dime.” My husband and I wanted to know the following: Did we have a legitimate case? How could we most effectively represent ourselves at the hearing? Would our evidence stand up in court? David listened carefully to our concerns, reviewed our material evidence, and assured us that we should indeed seek Protection Orders. He helped us feel prepared to represent ourselves in court. He advised us to seek a continuance should the stalker appear with an attorney so that we had time to retain counsel. We retained David J. Brown to represent us. It took an entire year before our case was fully tried. David helped us obtain temporary orders midway through the year. The stalker continued to harass us and the residents of our small rural community. Because we had temporary orders, the stalker was charged with contempt and criminal violations of the protection orders. His criminal trial is still pending. Once our case was finally fully tried in court, we were able to obtain Final Orders of Protection from Stalking and begin our healing process. Ours was a highly unusual and difficult case rife with challenges the likes of which none had ever seen before. Not only did David J Brown set legal precedence during the course of our highly stressful and unusual year, he did it during a pandemic! Talk about unforeseen difficulties requiring creative solutions on the fly! Zoom court anyone? We got to know David over the course of our very difficult year. He was highly responsive to our needs and the demands of our case. He demonstrated an honest respect for the legal ethics that guide his practice and he cares deeply for the people he represents. He is an excellent attorney and a genuinely nice human being. We are incredibly grateful to David for helping us navigate through uncharted legal waters during uncertain times. Thank-you David J Brown! You should know that you and your staff are highly respected professionals! Even the Sheriff's officers that we have encountered over this last year said we were lucky to have you as an attorney. When the law enforcement types sing the praises of your long-haired "hippie" lawyer, you know you've got a good one!

When I made the determination to retain a lawyer for my divorce, I paid the money for three separate consultations to ensure I would get the best legal representation possible. Save yourself the money and hire Paula from the beginning. When I read the very first letter from Paula to the opposing counsel, I knew immediately that I made the right decision. Between that one single letter and the threat of the exhibits Paula intended to use, the opposing counsel agreed to settle the case without going to trial. I was even surprised to receive money back. Paula did a fantastic job.

Paula instantly made me feel safe and taken care of when I became her client. She and Julie are highly organized and knowledgeable about my case. Paula was prepared for anything the opposing side threw at us, reacted professionally and timely, and remained in complete control of the case. I never felt like the opposing attorney took control of my case. Paula knew exactly how to keep my kids safe, and made sure to provide proper evidence to the judge to do just that. She also provided all my options to me and explained them (and the possible consequences) to me when I had any questions. She was my voice of reason many times, which was so reassuring to me. I am very grateful to have Paula as my attorney. My case is now complete, and I am so peacefully relieved. She and her team did an amazing job.

Hiring an attorney who is going to play, what I would say is the most important part in protecting your parental rights and the best interest of your children can be a huge challenge. To make a long story shorter, I had met with three other attorneys and initially hired a firm who had a great marketing campaign and a good pitch man on site, I spent over $1800.00 and all that I got in return was aggravated, before I parted ways with them. I spent a lot of time on line looking at reviews and reading bio's and talking to a few attorneys over the phone. I can't say exactly what it was that made me decide to go and meet with Paula, but I can tell you that it was the best decision I could have made. I walked into the office and Julie, Paula's assistant (also a rock star) handed me a questionnaire, I filled it out and waited about 15 minutes and then was walked back to Paula's office. She asked me to tell my story, eventually stopping me, because I rambler and it would have cost me a lot of money, b the time I ran out of words. I mentioned the other attorneys that I had met with... They all told me that my ex wife had my boys the majority of the time, but Paula said "You have your boys 52% of the time, I disagreed and told her she was wrong, she slid a printout across the table and said "Is this your schedule?" I told her it was, she said "Then you have your boys 52% of the time. I hired Paula, because she cut to the chase, she didn't waste my time and didn't allow me to waste my time, by rambling on about things that weren't relevant to my case. I left her office and before I made it back to my house, she had already contacted my sons private school, to verify what I pay for their school and informed me that I shouldn't be paying any child support. I had been paying for 9 years. The first firm I hired had figured it at $519.00 per month. Also, after having my boys pretty much every Thursday through Sunday for 8 years, the judge would have set temporary custody for every other weekend, but Paula stood up and said "You can't do that your honor" and we were able to maintain a better schedule. Todays date is August 21st, 2020, I hired Paula in February of this year. We went to trial August 19-20 and I couldn't have been more pleased. She was prepared and to say she presented a very organized case, would be an understatement. I knew that she and her assistant Julie had worked really hard, but I was really in awe of what had culminated from their efforts. Paula was very aggressive in her presentation and didn't let the apposing counsel get away with anything. We won't know the outcome of the trial until the judge reviews the case, but I can't imagine anything, but success, based on Paula's performance, both in the court room and before. I would highly recommend hiring Paula for any family law issues.

I don't give a lot of services 5 stars because, quite honestly, no one is perfect but, JEB nearly is! He is very personable (an admirable quality in an attorney), caring and knows his stuff. You are not just another case number with JEB, he is a good attorney and a good man - period. I would recommend him to anyone out there looking for a qualified lawyer who cares.

I reached out to Ms. Kingston on two different occasions regarding situations with two different employers. On both occasions, Ms. Kingston analyzed all of the facts involved and put together brilliant strategies and responses. Subsequently, both situations were resolved by Ms. Kingston without need for further litigation. However, if the situations had moved forward, I have no doubts that I was very well positioned for very favorable outcomes in court. Ms. Kingston is extremely knowledgeable and knows the law backwards and forwards. Also, you will find that Ms. Kingston actually cares and will take time to explain your situation with all possible ramifications. 5 star rating plus for Ms. Kingston. If you find yourself in need of legal help regarding employment law, you owe it to yourself to contact Ms. Kingston first. Truly amazing!

It’s 2020. We were in a pandemic AND we had a stalker problem. On the advice of responding law enforcement officers to yet another harassment report, we submitted petitions for Protection from Stalking to the court. We clearly didn’t know what we were doing because we were unsuccessful in obtaining temporary orders. We were feeling vulnerable and afraid in our own home and we needed legal advice. David J Brown came highly recommended by multiple people familiar with our situation with this caveat: “He isn’t cheap but he is worth every dime.” My husband and I wanted to know the following: Did we have a legitimate case? How could we most effectively represent ourselves at the hearing? Would our evidence stand up in court? David listened carefully to our concerns, reviewed our material evidence, and assured us that we should indeed seek Protection Orders. He helped us feel prepared to represent ourselves in court. He advised us to seek a continuance should the stalker appear with an attorney so that we had time to retain counsel. We retained David J. Brown to represent us. It took an entire year before our case was fully tried. David helped us obtain temporary orders midway through the year. The stalker continued to harass us and the residents of our small rural community. Because we had temporary orders, the stalker was charged with contempt and criminal violations of the protection orders. His criminal trial is still pending. Once our case was finally fully tried in court, we were able to obtain Final Orders of Protection from Stalking and begin our healing process. Ours was a highly unusual and difficult case rife with challenges the likes of which none had ever seen before. Not only did David J Brown set legal precedence during the course of our highly stressful and unusual year, he did it during a pandemic! Talk about unforeseen difficulties requiring creative solutions on the fly! Zoom court anyone? We got to know David over the course of our very difficult year. He was highly responsive to our needs and the demands of our case. He demonstrated an honest respect for the legal ethics that guide his practice and he cares deeply for the people he represents. He is an excellent attorney and a genuinely nice human being. We are incredibly grateful to David for helping us navigate through uncharted legal waters during uncertain times. Thank-you David J Brown! You should know that you and your staff are highly respected professionals! Even the Sheriff's officers that we have encountered over this last year said we were lucky to have you as an attorney. When the law enforcement types sing the praises of your long-haired "hippie" lawyer, you know you've got a good one!

  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.

    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?

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.
