Lynn is warm, professional and organized; she runs closings like clockwork. Lynn handled a title dispute for us that involved a mere 2", yet she persevered until the title was 100% clear. She also quickly got me the settlement statement electronically as well as on paper. Her office is centrally located and her sense of humor is grand. Lynn is awesome! I highly recommend her to every Atlanta real estate agent.

We contacted Mr. Wayne's office regarding evicting a non paying tenant who refused to leave a property we manage. Within a few weeks, we were in front of the judge and Richard was able to get this guy out and return possession of our property. I appreciated his office keeping us in the loop every step of the way.

Angela Forstie, with a colleague, represented me in a legal malpractice claim. Ms Forstie has a wonderfully warm personality and she was excellent in explaining everything to me at all stages of the process, and supporting me personally throughout. Her preparation of the case for both mediation and trial was incredibly detailed and professional. She conveyed the complexity of the case to me in ways that I could easily understand as a non-specialist. This in turn was extremely helpful for me personally in preparation for the trial. During the trial she did not drop a point. In court her questioning allowed me to tell my story effectively and accurately and then her cross examination of defence witnesses was highly effective, as was her grasp of the detail of the law whenever challenged by the defence. The hard work, dedication and skill that Attorney Forstie put into my case over a long period of time, along with her warm humanity and the positive results at trial, means that I have no hesitation in recommending her very highly

I have used John Bellus over the last 3 years. I have found him to be diligent and extremely well versed in the contract and construction law. If I would have used him prior to this I would not have needed his services as much. I found John billing practices to be very fair which I cant say for a lot of the larger firms where it seems like I was always getting stung at any possible opportunity. On a personal note, John likes to win.

The entire process of my case was nothing short of Amazing. Campbell represented me and did an amazing job. I felt like he really cared about my overall wellbeing. He and his team often emailed me to check on my healing in my case. Whenever I had a question he and his assistant was always available to help me understand every detail. The responses were prompt and I did not have to talk to multiple lawyers and assistants. I only spoke with my lawyer and his assistant when he was unavailable. Campbell was also very knowledgeable and professional! I was please with my case, the process, and the time it took to resolve the case. I highly recommend Tobin injury Law.

From the very first time I spoke with Brian after my traumatic roll-over accident, I felt a connection with him. He listened to my story and made me feel confident that he would always have my well-being in mind. He guided me through my emotional, not to mention painful lawsuit for close to 3 years. He always responded in a very timely manner and never made me feel that my questions or concerns were a bother , and believe me- I e-mailed and called weekly...He explained the legal system to me and help me make the right decisions in the end. I will never regret having him as my attorney and urge anyone looking to trust him . He is a breath of fresh air.I could never have gone through this without his guidance and expertise God Bless him.

Amazing Law Firm!!! Jacob Jackson has went above and beyond working on my car accident case from day one. I am a single mom raising both of my teenage daughters myself. Both of my children have an underlying medical condition which requires several doctor visits per year. The impact of this car accident has really seem to make my life feel extremely overwhelming mentally/emotionally/physically/financially at times but hiring Jacob Jackson as my attorney, an attorney who cares about his clients and also listens has been a blessing! I personally know how extremely busy an attorney can be with the understanding updates on my case were not going to happen over night. I will say, I’ve never had to wait countless days or weeks for updates from Jacob. From any and every phone conversation, to emails, text messages to in person driving a hour to meet with me saving me the inconvenience of a travel I was not able to make nor did I have transportation to make the drive. I am astonished by the level of compassion, professionalism, extensive knowledge, and superior willingness to listen that Jacob has provided. Jacob has been the best advocate during this most challenging time in my life! I would highly recommend him and have already recommended him to friends and family. Jacob Jackson has always had my best interest at heart regardless of the dollar amount and his actions have proven it. I would absolutely hire him again because he has something that holds value, he has integrity. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “If you don't have integrity, you have nothing. You can't buy it. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are not a moral and ethical person, you really have nothing”

I was referred to Mr. Pardue by my corporate attorney. My company was being sued by one of our members so our corporate attorney could not help us. We had worked for months to resolve the issue between us to no avail. Enter Mr. Pardue, the first time we spoke we got to know a bit about each other before anything was even asked about our case. I appreciated his interest not only in the issue at hand but his interest in me personally. Once we got the ball rolling so to speak Mr. Pardue handled everything with confidence and enthusiasm. He was able to get the issue resolved for us quickly, not only saving our business but money as well. I will always be grateful for his help and I would with out question recommend David and his legal team.

They were so thorough with our closing, answered every question we had, took care of several liens that were on the first property we were buying with 0 hassle and only took 2 weeks to close from when we signed our contract. The staff that we have encountered were very friendly, addressed us by our names, knew every detail of our closing and were very responsive through email whenever we had a question or concern. We will 100% be using them for future closings! Thank you!!

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.
