I was lucky to find him as my mom's disability lawyer. His work was extraordinary. He's very professional and friendly. He responded to our call/message directly and in timely manner. He provided details information, got us prepared well for the court appearance. The process of disability application and review is well known for being long and exhausting but with his guidance and endless support, we could keep going and finally got approved. Thank to Mr. Cutter that my mom now got the help that she's been waiting for.

I first became acquainted with Scott Cutter through a friend who was aware of my situation & recommended I contact Jennings, Linscott & Cutter. I immediately found Scott to be very personable, easy to talk with, conscientious & sincerely interested in what I had to say. He demonstrated a broad range of professional expertise, most notably, an in-depth knowledge of Social Security Disability law & the ability to accurately/clearly articulate how the entire process would work. He also suggested “homework” necessary to be effectively prepared for the hearing, while thoroughly/promptly addressing any questions or concerns of mine. I am both, ecstatic & relieved about the successful outcome of my case & enthusiastically recommend the lawyers of Jennings, Linscott & Cutter, without reservation… A Satisfied Disability Recipient

When our car was repossessed, we were astounded. We had no idea what to do or how to deal with the situation. We knew we hadn't done anything intentionally wrong, but we knew we needed representation. Enter Samantha Orlowski. Sam was a vocal and engaged advocate for us from day one, guiding us through (for us) unfamiliar territory. She went above and beyond in terms of her investigative work and it all worked in our favour. In the end, we reached a satisfactory resolution. Thank you to Sam and Sparks Law Firm for their continued good work!

Samantha responded to me quickly when I contacted her with a legal matter involving my totaled car. She was very helpful and provided assistance. Samantha was patient, kind and a great listener. She explained things in a way that I could understand. Her guidance allowed me to get much more money than the insurance company initially offered. I would definitely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer.

I found this lawyer for my younger sister who was injured in a car accident by an intoxicated driver. My sister was intimidated about hiring a lawyer and going through the legal process, but Samantha made it very simple for her. She explained the process each step of the way and was quick to respond to our questions. She was very courteous, knows how to do her job well, and exceeded our expectations. My sister received a settlement that was a great deal more than we expected. Samantha will fight for what you deserve and takes great care of her clients. I would highly recommend her.

Marc Jacob of the Jacob Law Firm, LLC has been my real estate and business attorney for over a year and a half now, and I have had many attorneys over the years. Since becoming involved with my business, he has guided me to avoid potentially disastrous deals, helped review and simultaneously pursue multiple potential real estate financing arrangements, and has both confidently and competently negotiated with much larger law firms and bank executives. After a long, arduous negotiations process, he was also able to close a very complicated, time sensitive and contentious deal remotely, while out of the state on vacation! He works effectively with me, my staff and with all the various professionals who were key elements to finally getting a critical deal done. I look forward to continuing to work with Marc Jacob and his associates at the Jacob Law Firm on other future business and personal matters. He has proven himself capable, honest and loyal. I consider him a trusted advisor and a friend.

Six years after my home was built I hired a outdoor sprinkler company to install there system. One week latter I discovered that a finished section of my basement was flooded. I met with the insurance company that covered this company and showed them the damage. At that time the insurance company inspector told me that the damage was not there fault. He said that the company that built my home was at fault. By now I had a local plumber dig up the area that the system connected to my water source found the leak and had the pictures to prove that the system was not properly installed and was leaking into my foundation wall causing the flooding. I hired Ken Heinz. After a series of phone calls and letters Ken got the insurance company to pay for the entire cost of redoing my basement...new carpet, drywall, wood trim and paint. I along with my entire family have used Ken for wills,trusts and real estate transactions.

The Council and I relied on Mr. Heinz for all legal issues with the city, legislative and litigious. His research was always thorough and ensured that the city was on solid legal footing. Ken helped me organize my personal papers and make my wishes known for my family. I also had a dispute that required me to sue to recover funds owed to me. Ken was able to recover everything and in a timely manner. In short I trust Ken Heinz with all things legal and have not been disappointed.

My company was involved in a contract dispute. A vendor was attempting to collect for a service that was sold based on false performance claims. Being a more experienced attorney, Josh was able to capitalize on a number of technical errors by the opposing counsel. One such error the counselor made was with respect to introducing a witness, effectively resulting in his dismissal. He also identified--and subsequently had thrown out by the judge--provisions in the contract which proved unenforceable in Missouri, effectively eroding their case and resulting in the case's dismissal. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

She takes on what she can do and she does an amazing job! I really appreciate a professional that works within their realm of competence and has integrity in their work.

I was referred to Anjali by a good friend at a time when I was making a big change in my career. Unexpectedly I had legal issues involving my ability to obtain a job that had been in discussion for quite some time. I really needed assistance with my healthcare employment contract. I was very concerned that it would be difficult to find someone that I could trust and had the same urgency to help to relieve my anxiety as well as help to resolve my issues. Fortunately Anjali was as trust worthy as my friend who had made the recommendation. She spent a great deal of time discussing my case with me from the moment she learned of my situation. From that point on there never seemed to be any delay in a response to my questions or concerns. I believe because of her previous work experience and life contacts she was able to discuss things with individuals from my field of practice, while still keeping everything anonymous in my regards. Even now months after helping me to a very satisfactory resolution she is available for questions. Once I saw that I had the opportunity to give a review and make a recommendation for Anjali I jumped at the chance. Even with being the busiest I have ever been in my career, thanks to my new position I wanted to make sure I took the time to express how much I appreciated Anjali's help. I will continue to recommend her to colleagues and feel she would give the same effort with any aspect of her career as she did for mine.

I have been the recipient of an angry ex who has dragged me and our children thru the court "ringer" for over 2 years. I started with attorneys that touted many awards and years of experience. I wrongly associated high hourly rates with superior service. I couldn't have been more wrong. Frustrated with the family law system, I was going to go Pro se in family court to preserve any finances for an appeal that my ex had filed with the Western District. A quick manuever from the opposing side landed me with 4 motions to take place in one day, within 1 weeks notice, during a time that I had a pre-existing conflict. I contacted Elisha and explained my situation. She herself had very little time to prepare, but showed such compassion for me and my situation that she agreed to represent me. Wow! Words cannot explain how wonderful she has been. She demonstrated an excellent understanding of Missouri law. She told me what my options were with such limited notice and the inability to be present for that specific hearing. She then proceeded quickly to set me up for success. She filed the correct responses/motions within a couple of days. At the hearing, she genuinely spoke on my behalf expressing to the court everything that I wanted to say, but in superb legal lingo that I would not have been equipped with. Her phenomenal representation resulted in all of the motions going the way that I wanted. Impressively, Elisha also used her quick thinking and ability to grasp what was in my best interest; to handle a curve ball that the opposing team threw at the hearing (having not been discussed between us prior). I wish I had found Elisha years ago. I have no doubt that she would have prevented so much of the extra heartache and grief associated with my previous choice of outrageously priced attorneys who cared very little for me. I believe that my previous attorneys just saw me as a cash cow. Over two years too late, this lesson wasn't learned in time for me. But for anyone reading this, maybe it can help you. If you want someone who actually cares for you, respects your money, and fights on your behalf using incredible law knowledge- then I highly recommend Elisha Gilmore.

Matthew Radefeld is not only an amazing attorney but a kind and attentive person to his clients. He is keenly aware of the law and makes it his mission to be the most prepared person in the courtroom. He will make sure that there is nothing that comes up in court that he is not ready for and able to handle. When hired, his clients are his top priority and will always be available. Like some other large well publicized St Louis defense firms, you will not be passed off to the newest law clerk and he will not strong arm you into a plea deal just to get the easy money. He believed in my innocence and fought with me at trial all the way to a less than two hour not guilty verdict. Bar none this is the best defense firm!!

He worked tirelessly to assist me as I navigated a situation with an insurance company, constantly communicating the steps he was taking in a clear and understandable way. He seeks feedback because he is the type of person that always strives to find a better way to accomplish a job. Give him a direction, or even an idea of a direction, and he will be sprinting towards an answer. Not only did he handle the delicate balance of personalities (doctors offices, insurance companies, etc) involved with my case with the utmost professionalism, he also consistently kept the best interest of of his client in mind.

Atty Embrey was a God-send. My parents were facing foreclosure due to unpaid HOA fees. A family member recommended Atty Embrey. She responded to my voice mail in a timely manner, explained the process thoroughly and communicated each action she took frequently. She pushed me to follow up on what I needed to do and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Her price was fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend using her services.

Shameeza is sharp, knowledgeable, direct, creative, diligent, compassionate, communicates and is a generally exceptional human being, I hired her on a landlord/tenant matter and she was everything I want in legal counsel. She was on top of everything. She communicates, something that eludes a lot of other attorneys. She’s creative in doing her research and finding solutions. And she’s just really pleasant to deal with. Hire her. Highly recommended.

Spoke to Diane Metzger who was one of the nicest and friendliest lawyers I've talked to over the phone. I cannot comment on her work directly because I have not used her services, but based on our phone conversation I would definitely recommend.

My dad had just passed away and we did not know how to proceed with estate. Everybody in the family was getting conflicting information. A friend referred me to The Hartung Law Firm. After a consult with Nate, we had enough information about the process that we were able to move smoothly through the small estate process.

Jacki helped me out with amending a speeding ticket in KCMO. She made the process easy, all done over the phone and via email. She even got the ticket extended for a bit so I had longer to pay it! Will definitely use her again for all future tickets I get!

After having a very negative experience with two attorneys previously, regarding a civil case my husband and I were involved in , I learned of Attorney Natalie Phillips, quite by accident. Immediately upon meeting with Natalie, I could tell she was very different from the others. I was struck by how personable she is, as well as the way she intently listened to our issues and concerns, without making a snap judgment or jumping to conclusions. She took her time in speaking with us during our initial consultation, and offered reasonable advice and solutions to our immediate pressing issues. She worked closely with us to find a viable solution to our on-going, nearly four-year nightmare, and she did it quickly, professionally, and was able to complete it all within our very tight budget. Natalie Phillips ALWAYS returned my calls or emails quickly, and was able to do in 3 weeks, what the other attorneys we worked with were unable to do in nearly four years!!! Had it not been for Natalie’s willingness to step up to the plate on our behalf, our nagging legal issues would NEVER have ended. My family and I are eternally grateful to her for her assistance. I would NEVER hesitate to utilize Natalie’s services again, if needed. She is TRULY the best of the best! If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, professional, helpful, proactive, and actually cares about the clients they represent, look no further. Natalie Phillips is not only a wonderful human being, she is truly a one in a million attorney!

  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?

    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

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.

    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.
