Daniel made each step of the process straight forward and simple. He clearly explained what each paragraph of my contract meant and answered my questions. I felt much more confident and comfortable with signing the contract after Daniel reviewed it.

If you're looking for a top-notch attorney -- a lawyer who is thoughtful, strategic, committed to clients and their case -- you've found one in Chris Mukon. Chris gets results. He has been my attorney for several years, and I've seen first-hand: He knows the legal system inside and out -- knowledge he used to get me a significant financial award from the NY Court. He's responsive too. The legal process can be long, difficult, and complicated, but every time I had a question, Chris was there to answer my question. He guided me every step along the way. Truthfully, I feel really lucky to have found him. If you need an attorney, I fully recommend Chris Mukon.

I wish I could give Steve 10 stars! I used him for two property transactions, a sale and a deed transfer, and Steve was friendly, efficient, no-nonsense, answered e-mails and calls almost immediately even on the weekends, and was very reasonably priced. My brother and parents used him as well. I highly recommend him!

Well I give five stars because I believe one is great or not. No in betweens. Let me begin by saying this was stressful process for me cause it's a life changing situation obviously but Mr. Katos simplified everything and gave me the knowledge and confidence I was lacking by just one phone call. I called for information on a coop and I was nervous at first because I didn't want to sound stupid and uninformed but like I said Mr. Katos was knowledgeable and kind. He didn't even charge me anything! I'm looking forward to getting serious and calling him in the near future.

Highly recommended.

Richard is an uncanny lawyer in that he breaks the mold. Indeed, he is unlike any lawyer I have ever met and hired. He is a man of impeccable integrity and will not look to take advantage of his clients in any way. He is honest, an attribute which cannot be said of many practicing lawyers in the field. Alas, most lawyers are proverbial sharks who care little about their clients, whose only allegiance is to money and power. Not so with Richard, who always puts his client’s interests first and foremost in mind. Richard is intelligent, can often cite the law by memory, and well connected. His level of professionalism is incomparable and anyone represented by this man should count their blessings. Richard offers counsel that is accurate and he is highly responsive and responsible. He is immensely respected in law circles, and I was amazed by those who admire him for his community leadership and civic contributions. I recommend Richard without reservation. I would recommend him without hesitation for anyone requiring an expert in business and criminal law. The world would be a much better place if it had more attorneys like Richard. He is a saving grace for anyone seeking his honest services. If you have an interest in working with an honest attorney who will do everything in his power to help you resolve your legal challenges, then Richard is your man. He has a heart of gold and you can be rest assured that he will do his very best while representing you. Richard is the ultimate professional attorney who gives credence to the field of law. He is a credit to society and will work hard to fight for you. Seek his law services. He will never, ever steer you wrong.

The positive reviews here echo my experience working with Elias and Ananti. Elias was there for me and my husband every step of the Coop buying process. It can be confusing and stressful as a first time homebuyer, so it is critical to work with patient and compassionate professionals. Elias responded to every question promptly and always provided clarity, putting us both at ease. I will be going back to Elias' practice for future legal needs. He is trustworthy and knowledgeable. Very highly recommend! You could not be in better hands.

In addition, anytime I had a question or concern, he was easy to get ahold of anytime via text or email. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family if they’re looking to buy a place in the city and need representation.

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.
