I recently had a phone consultation with Viridiana about my situation. She was very straight forward and honest with me. I explained to her my situation and she completely understood and was knowledgeable immediately offering me great advice above and beyond the previous attorneys I had spoken with. I could not afford lawyer services at this time and was honest about it, but still wanted to be prepared for when I can in the near future. With other attorneys I contacted, that was the end of the conversation. Viridiana still offered me advice that would help me and put my mind at ease. The immigration process can be very stressful and intimidating with all the forms and variables involved. Her knowledge and demeanor has taken a load off my shoulders.

When I found Ms. Koefod, I was really frustrated as I had consulted with a few other attorneys who did not seem to take me seriously. I started out with an e-commerce business and launched a Marketing firm but am pretty young and it is all online. I felt like Ms. Koefod was not only really well versed on what I needed, but also took me seriously and gave me great advice about suggestions to protect my business. She took care of my business formation and got my trademarks filed. It was nice to know the fee up front since everything was a flat rate and I got office hours and personalized attention that was focused on my specific business needs. She was very responsive and helpful and I now use her as fractional General Counsel so that I have an excellent attorney if and when things come up as my business grows! I felt really comfortable working with her. She wasn't stuffy and spoke to me in a clear way. The office is also really up to date on technology so I could do all my communications with them through my phone since I am on the go so much. I am suggesting Ms. Koefod to friends who are starting businesses and even side hustles and was excited to hear that the firm services can grow along with my company. It felt like a very tailored bespoke solution.

Mrs. Foggs is a dynamic attorney who is very well prepared to defend her clients. She has a powerful presence in the courtroom that demands attention. Her cross examination will leave your head spinning in awe. Her performance is based solely on the facts, without prolonging the case with frivolous arguments & motions . Mrs. Foggs delivery is impeccable! She is very knowledgeable and takes pride in her work. Her presentation is remarkable! She is like a pistol in a skirt! I highly recommend Mrs. Alycia D. Foggs-Anderson.

Just wrapped up a case with Calanit. Despite the ongoing pandemic, which threw a monkey wrench into just about all litigation, Calanit was extremely professional, great at communication, and easy to work with. She advocated fiercely for her clients, but was still open to discussions. Wish there were more defense attorneys out there like Calanit.

Mr. Cheng was very attentive to every detail of my love ones case who was facing deportation. He offered his services with many options. He is truly the real thing.

Selecting an attorney is a very personal decision, but I could not have been happier with my choice. Mickey Ross thoroughly exceeded my expectations; I really did not know that working with an attorney and being involved in a legal matter could be such a pleasant and stress-free experience. You would be hard pressed to name Mickey's greatest strength because he is singularly well rounded; he manages to combine genius with compassion, thoughtfulness, professionalism, and OUTSTANDING communication skills. If you are overwhelmed and looking for someone you can trust to offload your burden to, Mickey is it. I felt 100% at ease with him because aside from just being as sharp as they come, he kept me in the loop while still taking the initiative on things; I was confident deferring entirely to his judgment from day 1. Within a week of hiring Mickey, I started sleeping well again and honestly increasingly found myself waking up every day consciously grateful to have him in my life and on my team. I was able to effectively turn my brain off and just relax; Mickey took care of everything immediately, emailed me back immediately, cc'd me on everything, was always available to meet or call if necessary, and always sought approval before acting despite my repeated total faith and deference to his opinions. So, Mickey Ross really is the total package; he is truly a gentleman and a scholar. I am probably still understating my delight with his services, but I will say this: you deserve to be positively euphoric about your representation no matter what, and for me, I found this with Mickey. I cannot recommend anyone more highly; Mickey is supremely, distinctly, phenomenally, exceptionally capable and a delightful person to boot.

We are currently involved with a dispute with an insurance company and a forensic engineering firm. We have retained Michael Weinstein to represent us in the civil suit.

Mr. Welch works his craft with precision and grace. A true Master at work, and he comes prepared. Mr. Welch dominated the courtroom in my case so much that after I testified, the defense attorney requested a settlement of the full amount that we were suing for. I simply cannot say enough good things about Michael Welch, he rules with an iron fist, yet strokes with a silk glove. The best of the best. Mr. Welch has become an asset to my business and I am very grateful for him. Mr. Welch is very honest and direct. Hire with confidence.

Attorney Ken Franklin took my call to assist me with a serious legal issue related to Internet Marketing, and Internet Advertising. Even though he wasn't able to take my case, he took the time to get me in front of the person who could. He is very professional, and more importantly it seems like he cares. He cared about his client enough to not loose track of what he needed to do, but cared enough about me to help me find someone who could help. Thanks Again, Chris, Atlanta GA

Ms. Case helped me transition from an agency to forming my own business, and I was forced to challenge my employment contract to do so. Throughout the process, she kept me informed and educated me on all the legal aspects of my situation. She took the time to understand my perspective and I was very proud to be represented by her in my discussions with my former company. Ms. Case was the perfect attorney for my situation, and she took great care to make sure that I got the best outcome possible.

Elissa was great, this was my first time being involved in an accident where I needed an attorney. I didn't know what to expect, but she kept me informed throughout the whole process. She was able to answer all of my questions, and make me feel comfortable. She was always responsive with returning phone calls, and very present when discussing my case. I would definitely want to work with her again, if I was in another accident of this degree.

I came to Peter with a difficult case involving a dispute with former business partners who were reaping the benefits of my hard work without compensating me at all, despite my my significant ownership of corporate stock. It was an emotional deal for me, but Peter kept me focused on what was important to getting what I was due. He was able to do this with compassion and I never felt bullied into accepting his suggestions. Additionally, he listened to my suggestions as well. He was never arrogant or condescending. As I mentioned, my case was somewhat complex, but Peter immediately zoomed in on the legal weaknesses of my former partners and formulated an excellent strategy to force them to settle the case by buying out my stock. He educated me well on the law behind our case. This was fortunate, as it allowed me to recognize actions taken by the other shareholders that would strengthen our case, and provided us with great ammunition. We ended up forcing the other shareholders to do the right thing and buy out my shares, despite many legal maneuvers on their part. I always felt that Peter was diligently watching my back. I honestly felt that he understood the situation and was as indignant towards my ex-partners' unethical behavior as I was. Peter Hasbrouck has my unconditional support and endorsement. I know that handing out an excellent rating on all five categories may seem excessive, but in my case, he earned every star.

Simply an outstanding experience. I've always been averse up giving money to a lawyer, but my experience at Taylor English Duma teaches me that when life calls for professional help, to call professionals. Matt Rosenkoff is now a most trusted advisor. When I have a need for guidance of any kind, I will consider calling him and asking. I am so glad I found him, and so glad that TED provided such a great place for us to work together. Thankfully there is some extra time left for my retainer. While I could just walk away and bank the money for the time I didn't use, I look forward to the next time I can get stellar legal services with Matt and TED!

Kirby Clements is a simply outstanding attorney. He handled my case with professionalism and candor. I was very nervous about my case and its outcome, but he was right there with me every step of the way. He never missed a court date, kept me updated on every situation regarding my case, stood his ground before the opposing counsel, and developed an excellent rapport with the presiding judge. It wasn't too long before he had the opposing counsel ducking for cover and the judge eating out of his hand (smile). I would definitely refer Kirby to anyone (except the opposing side) looking for legal counsel. E.

I am very pleased with the way Mr. Clarke handled our case. He kept us abreast of what was going on and spoke in very plain English. His approach to the case was slightly different than others as he was not looking to litigate the matter but was more than prepared to do so. Instead he convinced us to sit down and mediate with the opposing party so that we could all gain a better understanding of the issues from both perspectives. Doing so enable us to reach a decision without getting the courts involved.

We faced a nuisance suit from an uniformed widow. We felt we could win at trial, but wanted/needed to avoid costs of discovery, motions, and trial. Kim and her wonderful staff were able to gradually convince opposing attorney that victory was very unlikely, and that even if they won, our current financial status would make a significant judgement noncollectable. This entire process dragged out for over a year, yet Kim kept our fees extremely low. She didn't waste fees "holding our hands" or communicating when not necessary. And she virtually always used very abbreviated emails to keep us informed. Kim is my first attorney experience where concern for my costs was paramount. And she WON by settling for only a symbolic amount!

Paul really went the extra mile in our case. We hired him for a drug / controlled substances case. Well, it was more like three different cases in two different counties, including a probation violation case, a new controlled substances violation case, and a different controlled substances case (where a gun was also found, though it wasn't his, but the DA might have said who knows what). So, this was an extremely difficult situation, with three felonies in 2 counties all being processed at the same time! It took a lot of juggling! And on top of all that, our goal was to get the person into rehab, in order to get better, versus just to have time in jail. Paul had so much work to do to make this happen! He worked evenings and weekends without any complaint or reservation. He went above and beyond, helping to identify rehabs that the judge would approve, that the probation officer would approve, that the DA would approve. So many parties to liaise with! Then, he helped to call all the rehabs (due to our limited time to help)! He found out which had availability when. How much they cost. Which offered financial assistance. Even he helped to set up the initial call between the patient/inmate and the rehab facility, which was way harder than we anticipated. Without Paul, it's highly likely that we wouldn't have had an acceptance letter before the hearing, and that might have been the end of his chances of going to rehab versus prison. Paul was professional, courteous, and hard working. He got it done. We are very appreciative.

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.
