Quite literally the best DUI lawyer in the state in my opinion. He’s very kind, and knowledgeable but even better he gives you the benefit of having your dui Defense on auto Pilot, you won’t have to stress every second about your case because while he’s handling it for you, he will also keep you up to date with everything going on and do whatever he can to get you to win your case. I spoke to a lot of lawyers and chose Brian over all of them simply because he’s good at what he does and he’s very impressionable.

My husband passed away cutting my income into half & I was unable to pay my credit card bill. They were suing me for over $3200. I contacted Tadross Law. George was great. Tadross Law deals with Midland Credit regularly and he was able to successfully win the case for me. I didn't have to be there which took a lot of the stress off of me. Tadross Law's fee was less then a lot of the others I looked at & George worked it so the court fee was included in with their fee which made this whole process much more affordable and stress free then I could have ever hoped for. I give you my word it was a great experience & if you feel like the underdog & no one has your back, ir luck just didn't cube your way, , please reach out to Tadross Law and talk to them. They will prove you wrong. I promise you will not regret it! Sincerely, T. Strassel (Very Appreciative & Grateful customer)

My name is Jeri. I recently had to stop working because of ongoing medical issues and a surgery. I applied to have my disability reinstated back in February this year. It was one headache after another. I went to the congressman office in my town, they even made things difficult. I did think about getting a lawyer and didn’t. The final straw was when I called Social Security and they actually hung up on me! That same day I reached out to the law office of Marzzacco Niven & Associates. They did not hesitate. They were very kind and understanding. After the phone call I received some papers to sign and they went to work. It wasn’t even a full two weeks that passed. I decided one day to check my bank and there it was my payment! Also that same day I received a letter from the congressman’s office confirming. Called the law office to let them know and to get confirmation. I was so grateful! I would recommend them to everyone. And I just want to say thank you all so much.

Dennis is an exceptional lawyer and truly the best I’ve encountered. As an IMG, I felt incredibly uncertain and anxious when faced with an issue involving ECFMG that could have jeopardized my medical career. Dennis’s expertise was invaluable—he helped me reorganize my approach and thoroughly prepared everything, which gave me tremendous reassurance. He was always highly responsive, provided clear and detailed answers, and demonstrated extensive experience by offering constructive solutions at every step. His warm, personable demeanor and sense of humor helped ease my nerves, even in such a high-stakes situation. Thanks to his support, my case concluded with a very satisfying result, and I believe Dennis played a pivotal role in this success.

Me and my husband are very happy with our decision hiring Jeffrey as our lawyer. We had to deal with seller's non-disclosures and we didn't really know where to start. At first we had a consultation with different lawyer, who charged us 150$ for a 30 minutes talk, was very unprofessional and left us with more questions than we had before. After that we decided to get a free consultation with Jeffrey, and were so pleased that he spent over an hour with us and was able to explain everything in details, answered all of our questions and suggested the directions we should be taking to solve this case. So we had no doubts that he is the right person for our case. He handled entire process of a real estate litigation very professionally , and we were very impressed with how knowledgeable he is in this field. He was able to settle our case within few months and without us having to go though a trial process, which saved us a lot of time, money and made it a lot less stressful than it could of been. Thank you so much Jeffrey. We really appreciate your hard work and dedication.

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.

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.
