Mr. Nichols recently represented me on an OWI 2nd offense. He worked tirelessly to reduce my charge to an OVWI and eliminate my other charges. I was facing jail time, but with his advice, I was sentenced to probation and sobriety court only. He also went out of his way to make my family feel comforted and involved in the legal process. Overall, an amazing lawyer and an even better man. This should be your first choice in an attorney.

I hired Todd for a very serious charge pertaining to operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. This was a Felony matter and the possibility of an extend jail sentence was real and highly probable. From the first visit with him in Oakland county Jail he was honest and upfront with me on what he felt he could bring to the table. I couldn’t be happier with his services from the day of retention all the way through to sentencing. He was always very responsive and fought hard against the prosecutor when they tried to make a case for a harsher punishment. Todd was also very fairly priced for the experience and knowledge of the Judges and Prosecutors in Oakland county. I truly believe he got me the best possible outcome in a situation that could have turned out very ugly. Great guy and a great lawyer – worth every penny!!

After a very long struggle with defense attorneys who were uncaring, non-responsive, just "throw you to the wolves" kind of people and steal your money, we needed an appeals attorney. We contacted many many appeals attorneys and it became a coin toss between Mr. Carron and only one other attorney. We did not hire him, but we're hoping we made the right decision. Mr. Carron was very knowledgeable , responsive, caring and listened to any concerns or questions we had. We would HIGHLY recommend him if you are in the unfortunate position to need an appeals attorney.

Coming to this site I had little hope, I had been on several different sites, Ask an attorney? Get legal advice? I was givin misinformation each time. So basically I was gonna give it one last try lucky for me Dana answered my question unlike all the other attorneys that I had asked he actually knew what I was talking about. In fact Dana had handled some cases like mine. So he began looking into this for me. We have been corresponding for several days as he was doing research for me. But unfortunately he ha d explained that I had misses the deadline to file a claim by 3 days. My heart sank if I hadn't gotten so many bad answers in the past by professionals who really had no clue & didn't care enough to do some research i would have been able to file a claim. So unfortunately we couldn't continue with my suit at this time. But Dana reassure me he will look into extensions for this deadline & if he can do it he will get a claim filed in my behalf. So this is why I say he is 1 in a million a rare breed because who does that for people? Spend days trying to help them even at home going far beyond what he needed to. So I do know that with Dana Carron not only do u get a smart guy who works hard you also get a guy who gives a damn & actually cares for his fellow man. So thats a win win. .....

Stephen is *the* expert on how the US taxes foreign accounts. He has substantial public commentary on questions such as the US filing requirements for UK pension accounts, which shows both (a) that he knows what he's talking about and (b) that he's happy to share his knowledge. I didn't end up needing to hire Stephen, but that's only because he had a quick and easy answer for my situation that he was happy to provide. I would have hired him in a heartbeat if the situation had more complexity, and I plan to do so if the need arises.

I did not know at that time that Steve had written a book on offshore taxes, and had been practicing in this field for decades. He assured me that there was no need to worry. There were many people like me who were in this position. He helped us with offshore taxes, which consisted primarily of inheritance. There were many complicated scenarios in the distribution of my inheritance. He was a very careful listener and was very prompt with answering my questions. Steve should be one of the first people you should call if you have issues with offshore tax.

Not many times these days do we find our expectations exceeded! Venar Ayar is the exception! He is a wise, confident attorney...smart, responsive and a good listener. As we shopped for the right legal partner everyone wanted to "sell us"...not Mr. Ayar! We contacted him because our current tax service did not meet our expectations. He recommended that we not walk away. Instead he told us how to move forward and not spend extra money! He didn't want us to increase our legal expenses. Imagine we were ready to hire him but he was looking out for us. He provided us with good counsel, insight and advice but refused to take money for his service. He said the first visit is a free consultation. He gave us the advice we needed and it cost nothing! Most legal firms would have taken advantage of a disgruntled client and signed us up....instead he gave us the knowledge to move forward with our current tax attorney. He gave us all the time we needed! I would trust Ayar Law firm and I wish I could give them more than 5 Stars!!!!!

I have needed to get legal advice to navigate dealing the the IRS three times. I have talked to other attorneys but each time I relied with confidence on Venar Ayar. Not only was I successful in dealing with the IRS every time, the last two times I was not charged for the legal advice. Instead, I was advised that I could easily execute the remedy without paying them, the steps were throughly explained and I was encouraged to simply do it myself. I did and it went exactly according to their advice. Mr. Ayar’s associate Wendy even said if you have any questions just call and I will guide you. I showed up to their office with my check book ready and willing to pay them to just do it for me. But they are very honest and do not take peoples money like many of the other “tax relief” companies advertised. I was in a pickle with the IRS and I was scared. I heard a comercial about Optima Tax Relief and I had called them first. After an hour long phone consult they were going to take care of the situation for $4000 which I needed to pay UP FRONT over the phone so that they could assign me to one of their attorneys. I hesitated. It was all remote, nothing local. Then I heard a radio ad for Ayar Law and they were local so I felt better about that and called them. At least I could see them face to face when handing over $4000. But as I explained above, I PLEASANTLY learned that I had avoided a scam. I was kindly advised to keep my $4000 because I could easily do it myself, I was offered support if I needed it and it worked out perfectly - I prevailed. I really can’t say enough about how important it is to KNOW FOR CERTAIN that your attorney is an honest person who truly has your BEST INTERESTS in mind. But I can say that about Venar Ayar and the team at Ayar Law with all confidence. As I have said, I have, unfortunately on my part, needed to call on them three times over a seven year period and I have only paid once and then it was only a few hundred dollars and I have always come out on top in my tax dealings. And though Ayar Law is a business relationship it has the feel of friendship. You won’t find a better legal counselor. THIS GUY IS HONEST, FAIR, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, CONSCIENTIOUS AND EFFECTIVE. He’s also a gentleman.

Even though I live out of state 600 miles away and could only make one trip to his office in person, he kept me well-informed on the status of the case via phone and e-mail, and completed all the necessary tasks without my physical presence including court appearances, which I greatly appreciated.

When my therapist finally convinced me to apply for disability I had already eaten through my savings in denial and was in a pretty bad place (though thankfully was safe and had a roof over my head, but I wasn't doing very well otherwise). I was overwhelmed and not sure how to proceed. My mother is a nurse so she asked around for colleagues who knew about the process, and one recommended Mr. Silverman - that was the best stroke of luck I could have asked for. He was thorough and businesslike, on top of everything, kept meticulous records and chased every possible avenue. But he was also patient with me, sympathetic, and possessed of a humanity and no-nonsense humbleness you wish you could get in your doctors let alone your attorney. I probably felt more embarrassed about my situation than he did, and he tirelessly did the necessary research not only to know exactly what to do, what I was entitled to by law, and how to go about it, but also what things I needed to focus on to make sure the proper authoritative channels understood my situation in a way that was meaningful to them (important when you're an adult with a late ADHD diagnosis- he sifted through my chatter and knew which things were the needed information and which were not). Through the whole long process, he was there getting things done, rolling with the inevitable snags and figuring out how to get over those hurdles, and keeping me up to date on what was happening, even letting me know now and then he was still on things just because it had been a while and we were still waiting. I never could have done it on my own, but I'm also confident he went above and beyond and strongly recommend specifically this man to help you out with legal advice. Knowing I had him in my corner kept me calm through the journey and I recently got my first disability payment, which hopefully will be the start of me getting a better handle on my health now that the millstone of supporting myself is lifted from my shoulders. When he told me these reviews helped others find him I couldn't click the page fast enough. Hire him, I promise you won't be sorry, and I want him to be successful and happy forever because he really helped me out through something very difficult, and I don't care if it is his job I'll be grateful forever, he did a great job and he's a good bloke in my book.

I highly recommend the services of Access Legal Care Law Firm and specifically attorney Bert Whitehead and his team. Throughout my custody hearings, they provided exceptional guidance and support, ensuring that I had a clear understanding of the process and assisted me in filling out the necessary paperwork accurately and submitting it on time. One aspect that impressed me was their attentiveness to my needs and preferences. Despite their busy schedule, they always made sure to allocate time for my phone calls, which was included in the payment. I initially found the strict time window for calls a bit disconcerting, but Attorney Whitehead promptly addressed all my concerns and ensured that I received the necessary attention and guidance. What I appreciated most was the transparency in terms of payment. Whether it was a straight upfront payment or a payment plan, they provided a clear rate, ensuring that I knew what to expect. Despite opting for a payment plan, the level of service and dedication extended to me was no different from those who paid in full. Attorney Whitehead and his team were meticulous in their approach to my case, going above and beyond to set me up for success. They ensured that I understood my responsibilities and provided updates on the progress of the case, including reminders and calls the night before court hearings to ensure my preparedness. Although I never met Attorney Whitehead in person, our communication through Skype and phone calls made me feel like he was my personal attorney. The entire team at Access Legal Care works tirelessly, often working seven days a week, demonstrating their commitment to their clients. They genuinely care about achieving the best possible outcome, regardless of payment plan or payment in full. They never left me hanging and consistently provided assistance and support throughout the ups and downs of the case. Attorney Whitehead and his team are not only proficient in navigating the legal system but also in finding cost-saving alternatives to reach a favorable resolution. They understood the gravity of my case and approached it with efficiency, grace, and precision. I cannot express enough gratitude for the positive impact they had on my life. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was able to achieve my desired outcome, although it did take some time and patience. I fully believe that no other lawyer could have done a better job, even if I had paid them in full. Access Legal Care, led by Attorney Bert Whitehead, is an outstanding law firm with a compassionate and skilled team. If you are in need of legal assistance, I strongly encourage you to reach out to them. I have personally tried various internet sites, consulted with different lawyers and experts, and Access Legal Care stands out as the best choice. They will make the seemingly impossible possible and restore your hope in a successful outcome. They certainly did that for me, and I will forever be grateful. Thank you once again to Burt Whitehead and the entire team. Stay blessed and stay great! Sincerely blaise

Bert was very knowledgeable and help me thru this and appreciate his professional service to me. I like the on the line system- modern technology is so amazing. I never had to drive to his office (like my ex-wife did- traveled 45 minutes each way to talk with her lawyer) to get access to him but did everything thru on line and telephone. Set up an appointment time slot on his schedule that he has available and then he calls you back at that time. Be organized and write down your content you want to cover as the time flies by quickly. He was 4 times cheaper than the first lawyer I had a consultation with to see if I was going to hired her her Thank you Bert. You are a great lawyer. I wouldn’t hesitate in using you again.

I had a consultation with Bert, he was informative and honest even when it meant he might not make as much money from us. He provided candid feedback on my issues and he was clear and easy to understand. While we didn't hire him right now it is likely that we will be working with him down the road.

Mr Sherman is very thorough in his work and explanation. I hired him for my H1B paperwork and Green card filing with my previous employes and consulted him regarding green card needs when i moved to new employer. He is always available and proactive. He is very good with paperwork and you as a client will be assured and have peace of mind when he is on your case. I will definitely recommend Mr Sherman for your visa/Green card needs.

I have known Mike for several years now. I was first introduced to him through employer for my H1b and since then Mike has worked on my H1b and through permanent residence. He has always been on the top of the things. His work ethics and professionalism are outstanding and made me very comfortable in dealing with him. He was very approachable and despite his busy schedule, he was prompt in his email correspondence. He has excellent knowledge and he answered any questions promptly that arise during the process. He made sure that he was there with me every step of the way during the process. He is very diligent in his work, dedicated and personable, which sets him apart in his field. It was a great pleasure knowing and getting benefited from the expertise of such a great professional and above all a very humble human being.

I know Mr. Sherman and his team for more than 10 years now. I have to confess that my immigration case was one of the most difficult and sophisticated cases that may happen for any attorneys. I worked with other attorneys too before and during the last 10 years and by far Mike is the best. His knowledge, professional attitude and kindness are exemplary. Honestly I am always overwhelmed with his passion and kindness to go over and beyond his line of duties for my case which started 10 years ago and now finally all my family and I succeeded to be US citizens, only because of him and his dedication. I have no hesitation recommending this strong, passionate, knowledgeable lawyer and his solid team as your best friend along your way for any immigration legal cases you may have. And I believe he is the best bet for you in these difficult and stressful situations.

My wife and I met Mike at two DFCU Financial seminars which he presented. Mike is very personable with a disciplined eye for detail. Mike has been great answering our questions and advising us on the pros and cons of some specifics we had asked for. We have already recommended Mike. Having our estate plan in place is very reassuring. Knowing that it is very well done adds another layer of comfort.

I contacted David Soble for advice regarding a legal matter and he was both responsive (calling me back after hours) and helpful. As it turned out, I didn't require his services, but he contacted me for a follow up call to make sure that my legal issue had been resolved and offered to help should I need his services in the future. His office staff was also extremely courteous and responsive. I would definitely contact him should I require legal assistance in the state of Michigan.

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.

    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.

  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.

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.
