Jim will spend whatever time is necessary to evaluate your case and explain the process to you. He is tenacious and the insurance companies fear him. He is not afraid to take your case to trial if the doctor's insurance company won't pay what he thinks they should. He will invest the necessary time and money to win your case. He and his law partner Charlene, (who has a medical background), make an incredible team at trial. It's no surprise that Jim has been named one of the top 10 best litigators.

Mr. Maycomber was at all times very professional, and resopnded appropriately. It was a pleasure working with Mr. Maycomber; the only frustration, our entire case was accomplishes via e-mail or by phone. It has been a pleasure working with you and your agency. You have been nothing but professional throughout this process, I applaud your support of OEF/OIF veterans and the USERRA issues we are facing. I just wish we could do more to get some Federal Agencies to abide by Federal Laws through their own flawed policies instead of settling as if nothing happened. How are we to affect change of we do not push the envelope and hold these agencies to taks. I am a Veteran who works for the VA!!! Enough Said. Mr. Maycomber is an asset to the Tully Rinckey. Firm.

I luckily was referred to Mr. Barnes by a friend. I needed a lawyer to help with a Medicaid application for my mother, whose funds were running out after she had been privately paying for the senior/nursing facility she was residing in. When I asked the facility upon her taking up residence how things worked when she could no longer private pay, they explained the Medicaid process that needed to happen when her funds ran low. Unfortunately, they gave me an unrealistic time frame as to when that was. If it wasn’t for Mr. Barnes and his legal assistant, Donna, my mom’s life, as well as my own (her daughter) could have been in total ruins. I was in fear that I would have to remove her for lack of payment and that she wouldn’t get the daily care she needed. During my first appointment with Mr. Barnes, he allayed those fears. He immediately assessed the abbreviated time frame involved with my request and let me know what and when everything on his end and my end needed to be pulled together. They got the application in so quickly that I finally was able to breathe a sigh of relief. As each ensuing DSS request came in they were there, quickly helping me to identify what I needed to provide, as well as writing support statements for DSS from me to approve/edit. When nerves got the better of me during this process and the long waiting period, both Mr. Barnes and Donna where there for me. They almost instantly responded, night or day, to all my calls and/or my frantic late-night emails, which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Mr. Barnes services! I also recommend that anyone with a parent entering a senior/nursing facility contact him sooner than later for an assessment and a realistic time frame to prevent any problems personally or financially.

After going through 3 attorneys, James Braman was recommended to me and I cannot thank him enough. He actually read each and every piece of paper, document, articles, depositions, etc. that I gave to him. I truly felt he "knew" and "understood" my circumstances and events that had transpired. I have the utmost confidence in is ability to negotiate for me. I highly recommend him in any administrative law, Department of State matter or real estate matter. He did an outstanding job for me :) 2014

He often goes above and beyond the required services and really cares about each and every one of his clients. Even though we were a startup, Brian still paid us the attention and time that we weren't able to ever receive with previous legal professionals. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Brian.

I cannot recommend Saeed highly enough as a lawyer. He was incredibly prompt and provided outstanding support for my case, even on extremely short notice—less than 24 hours. Saeed’s dedication was evident in the way he completely backed my case and promptly addressed any questions or concerns I had. His responsiveness and expertise made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I would absolutely trust him again and recommend his services to anyone in need of reliable legal representation.

Great Law Firm! I was leary at first and ended up reading the reviews and was judging the law firm based off other people's reviews and exprience but got the total opposite services. Maybe it's particular attorneys but A. Jazembak was assigned to me. Mr. Jazembak has great communication and wants to know precisely information to accurately get the results his clients want. Honestly, if you want a good defense, be ready to have everything documented and ready to present to them EVERYTHING. They aren't mind readers so I think the negatives reviews came from clients thinking that they had to only give the basic information and assumed because it's a law firm they had the ability to make a good case on basic information. If you're putting in effort, they will 100% fight for there clients. The paralegal has excellent communication C. Barrett and the account keeps track of all funds and send an itemized bill accurately H. Myers. Give them a try, ypu wont be disappointed!!

The visa process can be overwhelming but I'm so glad to have found Harris Beach. I've been working with LJ and Brendan during my visa processes, and both made everything clear and manageable. Their knowledge of immigration law and their ability to navigate the complexities of my case, from the O-1 visa to a green card, was invaluable. They were always really responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me.

I've had to use attorneys for multiple things over the years, and I remember being really surprised at the 5 star review for ANY firm, but now that I'm an immigration client, I absolutely get it! I had considered (and even retained) over 10 attorneys in the past 5 years for both personal and business matters, and my experience working specifically with Brendan Venter, a Partner in the Immigration practice, has been simply outstanding. He is the most honest, transparent, and responsive attorney I've ever met. I understand that law around marriage-based / family immigration is actually quite complex, and we immediately felt confident that we were in the right hands with Brendan, and he has not disappointed. You hear horror stories out there, and sadly most are justified. Brendan, and by extension H-B for being smart enough to make him the partner of this practice, have restored my faith in the craft... at least with them! Eternally grateful for his counsel.

I want to thank the Towne Law Firm for assisting me with my issues I had. I have used them 3 times in the last 3 years. Shalini Natesan was terrific during all 3 of these cases. One being a property dispute, another for title/deed corrections, and the last one in December 2024 was for the sale of commercial property. This was over the Christmas and New Year break. Most were on vacation, (including Shalini) I was trying to close on or before December 31st. She worked countless hours handling all the forms needed to make this happen. There were man documents the title company kept requesting, and/or changing. After about 8 straight days, nights and weekends included, the sale went through. I cannot thank her enough, to include the other ladies who assisted on the previous 1st 2 times...Diane, Lynn and Darla. The price was very reasonable, and I would recommend this Law Firm to anyone. Thank you so much. Scott Fisher

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish! I had an exceptional experience with the Towne Law Firm and can't recommend them highly enough. From the reception staff to the attorneys, every member of their team was professional, communicative, and kind. They handled my matter with impressive speed and efficiency, always keeping me informed and answering my questions thoroughly. The attorneys were not only knowledgeable but also took the time to explain everything in a way that made the entire process clear and manageable. What truly stood out was the warmth and politeness of everyone I interacted with — they made me feel like a priority and genuinely cared about my well-being. If you're looking for a law firm that combines expertise with outstanding customer service, Towne Law Firm is the one to choose.

I want to thank the Towne Law Firm for assisting me with my issues I had. I have used them 3 times in the last 3 years. Shalini Natesan was terrific during all 3 of these cases. One being a property dispute, another for title/deed corrections, and the last one in December 2024 was for the sale of commercial property. This was over the Christmas and New Year break. Most were on vacation, (including Shalini) I was trying to close on or before December 31st. She worked countless hours handling all the forms needed to make this happen. There were man documents the title company kept requesting, and/or changing. After about 8 straight days, nights and weekends included, the sale went through. I cannot thank her enough, to include the other ladies who assisted on the previous 1st 2 times...Diane, Lynn and Darla. The price was very reasonable, and I would recommend this Law Firm to anyone. Thank you so much. Scott Fisher

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish! I had an exceptional experience with the Towne Law Firm and can't recommend them highly enough. From the reception staff to the attorneys, every member of their team was professional, communicative, and kind. They handled my matter with impressive speed and efficiency, always keeping me informed and answering my questions thoroughly. The attorneys were not only knowledgeable but also took the time to explain everything in a way that made the entire process clear and manageable. What truly stood out was the warmth and politeness of everyone I interacted with — they made me feel like a priority and genuinely cared about my well-being. If you're looking for a law firm that combines expertise with outstanding customer service, Towne Law Firm is the one to choose.

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.

    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  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.
