Overall, we had a good experience. They did have wrong information in the documents at first, and they were late in getting me the proofs, and I do have trouble understanding Mr. Miller sometimes. However, I checked around, and I found Mr. Miller's expertise in this area to be superior to other attorneys. He was kind enough to answer my questions, even sometimes my repeated questions, on a couple of consults, even before we hired him. And his office staff was kind and eager to help us.

My husband & I have known Wendy for several years now. She is not just a lawyer, she is a friend whom we think the world of. Dedicated to her job, she throughly answered all our questions & concerns. Ensuring we understood every detail. She spent quality time with us, that's something. As busy as lawyers can be, she never denied us a moment of her time if we needed her or had questions. She has one of the biggest hearts we have ever seen. We would choose her over any lawyer in the state of Alabama, simply because we know she will get the job done right. She will take the stress off of you & leave you so much more at ease knowing she has it all handled. We could never have asked for a better lawyer. She was God sent. She is REALLY that good. Thank you Wendy, for being not just a lawyer, but a friend.

Bruce Adams exceeded my expectations in assisting my family with my elderly parent's estate planning. His compassion and knowledge in this area made the situation much less stressful than we had imagined before meeting with him. The entire office staff is amazing and the experience was quick and painless. I would highly recommend Bruce for any end of life planning needs. My advice (based on our situation) is not to wait to solidify protecting your parent's assets.

We hired Mr. Adams to help us with our estate planning and set up a special needs trust for our disabled child. We are not rich people. We wanted to make sure our child was provided for in the very best way after we were gone. He held a series of meetings with us and explained the estate planning process every step of the way. We were never rushed. He gave us all the time we needed and answered every question we had. We feel that we got the best service we could have gotten, and we are very comfortable with our final plans. We recommend Mr. Adams to anyone who has any estate planning to do, whether large or small like ours.

We are Thankful to Mr. Ghee for what he was able to accomplish with such a difficult case. This area of law practice takes a special person with experience, knowledge and wisdom to navigate. It was my pleasure to meet such an accomplished person who has the compassion to navigate the stormy weather of family law. Yes, these cases are often unfriendly due to what is being lost or gained. It is a struggle that needs someone who can do their best to achieve as close to what the courts will allow. You may not always understand the system or the courts but you will understand that you have lawyer that does. Lastly, he knows what he is talking about. Yes, I highly recommend Mr. Ghee.

I am so thankful my friends recommended this law firm to me. I have been very pleased with the excellent service I have received. The lawyers in this firm are well respected by their peers and obviously by the judges. Mr. Ghee and his daughter, Wendy Draper, handle my case in a professional, competent, and timely fashion and got results that exceeded my expectations. Wendy's secretary is also very helpful and friendly. If you need an attorney in Anniston, Alabama, you can not go wrong with any of the attorneys in this firm.

My experience so far hasn't been horrible but I have had to educate oh our state laws and regulations on family court and also our state guidelines and policies and then turn around and basically had to teach Fred... I hired Fred back in December of 2015 and I still currently using his services. My case started in 2008 so it's already been 10 years, now I can can say he will work with you financially, also he is my 3rd attorney, but the first win I had in all these years is all because Fred. But I'm having to push him and stay on him to get anything done. I'm needing an attorney that isn't scared to fight for what's in the best interest for my son's, especially when they are being abused verbally and physically. I have pictures, but Fred won't even tell the judge about it and it is a lot more to this.

Miss Tiffany saw the woman I could be and she was court ordered to be my attorney and she treated me as if I was her only client. Thank you for how you helped change my life.

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.
