In my dealings with Mr. Drye, he has consistently demonstrated proficiency, knowledge and business acumen. His area of expertise is in the field of analysis of benefits and risks associated with the purchase of manifold insurance products. Furthermore, he is capable of making unfamiliar concepts, which are sophisticated, even to a fellow attorney, understandable. Mr. Drye is the consummate professional, and I feel comfortable recommending his service to anyone who seeks it.

John represented me in a rather complex case. Because of his preparatory work and organization of information a State Supreme Court Justice in Ohio could see the facts clearly. Although the case was heard over an extended period of time, we prevailed and were awarded a seven figure judgement on a contract matter largely because of John`s work and contributions. He is great.

My case was almost a year long and I must say after I look back, Regina and her team completed one of the most compilated cases I have ever been a part of. In my case we had to go through another states attorney to close out the first part and then her team started to work on my case in Ga. Regina and her team made my case in another state along with one of her fellow attorneys the case was dismissed as easy as it started. Although my case was very stressful Regina and her team remained professional. When I would get upset because things were not happening fast enough for me, they ensured me that everything was on trace. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a Higley qualified and very professional staff Regina Mincey and her team. You could not ask for a better divorce team. Thanks!

Michael Goodman is the greatest lawyer I have ever worked with! I went to him after I got into a really bad car accident. I was worried that opening my case was going to be really complicated but he made it super easy! The entire process was simple, and if there was anything I didn't understand Michael was happy to explain! He worked hard for me, and got me a great settlement!

Alex's firm retained my firm as local counsel to assist in prosecuting a trademark infringement suit in federal court in Chicago, Illinois on behalf of one of Vivid IP's clients against several defendants. Alex's knowledge of federal practice, litigation strategy, and IP was quite impressive! Alex is astute and trustworthy and exudes the competence and confidence of a much more experienced lawyer. I have since referred other trusted clients to Vivid IP who are extremely happy with Alex!

Alex Aron was highly recommended to me by several other attorneys who I trust. I needed a strong IP/Patent referral for one of my best clients. Alex exceeded my expectations from the first client referral and continues to do so with the dozen or so other clients since then. She doesn’t want to push papers and charge for wasting time like other attorneys do. She always delivers high quality work product and provides practical and cogent advice. I am impressed with her ability to quickly synthesize complex IP legal issues and identify optimal solutions. Everything she recommends makes both business and legal sense. Alex and her staff are very professional, well knowledgeable and at the top of their game in IP/Patent law. She is very humble and honest and keeps you informed of everything as she works. After using other attorneys prior to Alex, there's no other better IP/Patent attorney in the country! So, if you're in need of the best IP/Patent attorney to get things done correctly and cost effectively, Alex Aron is your answer. She is the absolute best!

I am a single dad who assumed custody of my children after my divorce. After 5 years of caring for my children and helping my ex-wife out with a place to stay after our divorce due to hardships, she sued me for child custody. I was referred to Miracle by a mutual friend and she immediately began to work on my case with much enthusiasm and professionalism. Outside of the courtroom, I have had numerous setbacks related to the case and Miracle has been very patient and supportive as we prepared for my final hearing. I am very confident in her abilities as an attorney and I think that her outgoing personality is a great match for her winning reputation. Though Miracle is very understanding, she also lends an objective and practical voice and explains the legal process in a way that is very easy to understand. I have been so pleased with my experience with Miracle, that I have referred her to many of my colleagues, associates, and family members!

Ms. Anna Kurien is absolutely a a great defender. She not only works for the Public Defenders office to help those that cannot afford a paid lawyer but she is the definition of a true defender. She sticks to the facts and actually handles her cases unlike some PD's that only want to finish the case load. Ms. Kurien is the absolute best she helped me to end a murder charge which was unjustifiable in a matter of 6 months from her appointed date to my case. I would let Ms. Kurien handle any of my cases because she sticks to facts and will not allow any injustice to any of her clients. She was there for me and my family in any way we needed when she was my attorney and has remained available to me and my family after the case was cleared. I truly appreciate Ms. Kurien and do not forget I am only one chapter in her book of justice. She is dedicated to serving the poor and making sure we receive equal representation. Thank You Ms. Kurien.

And that is exactly what happened. He is very knowlegeable and knew exactly what he was doing. I would not hesitate to seek his help in future if needed. Thank you Jeff!!

After a recent car accident Mr. Saltzman called many times to check on my condition and was very compassionate, kind and showed true concern for my well being,. During those stressful times Mr. Saltzman helped to keep me calm and continually reassured me that my mounting doctor bills could wait and I should focus on getting better. He was so right. The case was resolved to my full satisfaction and was settled in a reasonable amount of time. It was a pleasure to work with him and would highly recommend him.

Bob was the perfect fit for me, so thanks for all the previous reviews that prompted me to call him. The main quality that I appreciated most was that he truly had my best interests in mind, as opposed to just wanting to win the argument or win the battle with the other side. He gave me excellent advice and his knowledge of the law is outstanding. And in the times where I decided to agree to something that was giving up a little too much in his mind, he simply advised that it was not something that he would recommend for his client, but if it made things better for me in the big picture, then he was behind me 100 percent. Bob is also the type of guy you'd want to have a beer with, which makes dealing with a very difficult situation much less stressful. I'd give him my highest recommendation.

Two years ago a friend referred me to Bob Hunter of Hunter Weinstein and Somerstein. During my consultation Bob immediately gave me a course of action I needed to take.

His preparation and hard work showed when it mattered most. Bob couldn't promise me the outcome, however he fought for me like we were family and it paid off in the end. The person that will benefit most from Bob's efforts will be my son and I am forever grateful for that. I am honored to have Bob as my attorney and also my friend.

Will Stone is a breath of fresh air in the legal profession. For one thing, he's super honest. I also like the fact that he will research case law to make sure he's considered every aspect of my particular situation rather than spout a "one-size-fits-all" answer. Over the last few years, I've hired him several times to review and make recommendations on business agreements as well as one real estate contract before I signed on the dotted line. Thanks to Will's diligence and legal knowledge, I'm sure I've been saved from some very sticky legal situations. I highly recommend him.

I had never needed a lawyer in this capacity before so the whole process was new to me. When we did have questions, his responses were always very thoughtful and thorough.They were able to sort out every roadblock that came up in this case successfully and I don’t think most attorneys would have the experience, ability, or fight to do so.

She is slow to speak but precise when she does. We had to get statements from people that was out of state as well as here in Georgia. If the other attorney tries to approach you, just let her know and she will handle it. I was extremely happy with her services and her professionalism.

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.
