Katie was was recommended to me by one of my best friends who is a lawyer herself. This was one of the most difficult times in my life and Katie’s support helped me through it. She is very proactive in her approach and her legal knowledge was incredibly precise and extensive. From our first meeting to the last, she had followed through everything she said she would and she went above and beyond everything I had expected. If you are lucky enough to have her represent you then I am confident you are in great hands.

Dzifa was recommended to us by our real estate agent and we are so glad to have hired her. We found her to be highly attentive to our needs/questions especially during the pandemic. She was able to keep our home closing on schedule despite potential delays caused by Covid 19. When time came to close she was very amenable to dates and times that worked best for us. We enjoyed her personality and patience since it's been a long time since we bought and sold a home.

Due to the nature of my legal issue's, I consulted Mr. Cohen for his professional opinions on my civil right's suits. He was honest, albeit, an hour truly isn't enough time for any attorney to be able to get the jist of any suit. One quick glance or reading isn't enough time...HOWEVER, since Mr. Cohen's area of expertise is civil rights litigation. His advice was worth the money spent. It's too bad that he's a firm lawyer. I'm sure if he had a private practice, he would have taken the cases on a contingency basis. I would DEFINTELY hire or consult with him. Well worth the money spent!

My experience with Mr. Cohen was less than stellar. Bottom line was money, and lots of it. As I struggled to get together the amount, he did not answer communications repeatedly. My case is one in a million, and would be a nationally recognized win. Damages are recoverable including attorneys fees. However, you actually have to believe in the case to win. I believe he has the intellect, but he doesn't have the heart. If I had his skill, I would feel a sense of obligation to use it to help those who are disadvantaged, as this is what civil rights law is about. Those who have millions don't need protection.

Rick Boorman's law firm handled the sale of my house. I live in Florida and they are located in western NY, so that was a complicating factor. Shannon Bihr was the paralegal I worked directly with and she was fantastic! Not only was she knowledgeable and very good at her job, Shannon was also very friendly and easy to work with. It was actually a pleasure to interact with her. I heartily endorse the Boorman Law office to anyone that needs professional legal services!

Bryan was extremely helpful in all aspects of my comp case. He kept me informed, told me what was going to happen and even advised me to stay calm throughout the proceedings. He is not easily intimidated by the opposing counsel and very thorough in finding out information from myself as the client and on all case matters. He is very up front and tells me what is happening and what can happen within the case. Being frustrated by lies of the people testifying against me Bryan was very conscious of how I felt and was helpful in making me feel calm. I would recommend Bryan Brooks if you are looking for a good attorney who knows his practice and is compassionate and looks for the right and true information and how to use it.

Mr Block was able get a new hearing scheduled against all odds and had my son's license which was revoked, restored to good standing. Mr Block had a small window to process the required paperwork with literally hours to spare. I feel no other attorney in this state could have accomplished what he did given the time restraints. I would hire him again without hesitation and strongly recommend him to anyone needing a attorney whether it for a traffic reasons, injury accidents, or etc. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give Mr Block a solid 10.

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.
  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.
