In February of 2014 I needed an attorney to help me deal with an issue that I wasn't able to get anywhere on. After asking around I was referred to Katie Icenhauer-Ramirez, she was prompt, friendly, competent, and extremely helpful. She is very easy to deal with, if your issue isn't in her wheelhouse she will help you find an attorney who can help you. I feel completely comfortable saying that she is my first call if I need legal assistance again. I highly recommend her.

Rola, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your professional services, outstanding legal, and personal advice at a time of my life when I needed it the most. Mine was a case with a landlord in which I felt that I was being backed into a corner without any options. I'm completely satisfied with the outcome of my case. During the entire process I never had any doubts that things wouldn't turn out all right and I credit that to you and your determination. I am deeply grateful for all of your time and efforts. Thank you for what I feel was going above and beyond and most importantly caring.

Mr. Sessums got us the legal and emotional closure we needed. He went above and beyond by taking the time to find and provide answers to all our questions in a way that we could understand. He did amazing research and found answers we didnt even know to ask the questions about. He always had a positive attitude that kept us going through a difficult situation. The outcome he got was beyond what we had ever hoped for! I strongly recommend him for all your real estate related needs!

I am a corporate landlord owner. I was presented with a discrimination complaint from a tenant to avoid eviction for nonpayment. I was not aware of the seriousness of this complaint until my banker overheard my conversation and she suggested immediate legal representation. I contacted Mark with very little time to prepare. He was able to delay a site visit and prepare enough documentation to get the matter dismissed with no fault.. Thank You Mark, You will continue to be my only legal representation

I am a Senior Claims Manager for a roofing company. Mark was actually a client that I provided a roof for. I had an ongoing Child Support issue. Once I found out he was a Lawyer I asked him for advice. At that time my legal issue weren't as serious. He gave me good advice free of charge. But a short time after, I was in a situation that took a nasty turn. The Attorney General's Office had set my child support at a fair rate, I thought... I was told we would have to come back because the mother wanted legal advice... when we returned, what was originally agreed upon, dramatically changed... I was facing the Judge. Instead of the attorney who was just used as a negotiator the other times I went there... from what they were telling me, it was sounding like I was going to be paying possibly double to tripe what was originally agreed upon. This would have had me deep in debt and most likely ended me up in jail, as it truly wasn't fair legally to my actual income. At this point I knew I needed a lawyer. Mark was the first person I thought of. Mark has a great approach of trying to avoid the courtroom, if possible. Although we did have to go into the court house, Mark had turned all my anxiety into relief very quickly. Days before my court date, with very little notice or much time for Mark to work with, outside of the courtroom, Mark was able to negotiate... First, with the Lead Attorney, at the Attorney General's Office, and then with the mother. He not only negotiated a fair and reasonable child support for me, he negotiated it in a way that totally satisfied the mother as well. Mark's price was fair too! He also has really worked with me on payment, because I was already in a pretty tough financial situation. Mark provided me with much needed relief and total satisfaction! He also is a great guy and easy to work with, which is an added plus. I would strongly recommend him!

I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the superb legal work and representation I received from the attorneys and staff at the TROILO LAW FIRM. I was nervous about my court case; yet their preparation and depth of knowledge about housing contracts and real estate litigation put me at ease, and made things go smoothly with the Judge. The outcome was very favorable, even better than I expected. I have worked with attorneys in the past, but none with the professionalism and dedication of Mr. Troilo and his team.

I have referred many of my clients to Susan Gleason at SAGE Settlement Consulting. The most consistent feedback I receive from these clients is that they feel "so well taken care of," so "well listened to," and "so well educated" by Susan. As the attorney who has usually spent many years with these clients to obtain settlements and verdicts, it is extremely important to me that a careful and competent professional assist my clients with the second phase of the process. Susan works in partnership with attorneys and injured clients to preserve access to benefits which are vital to the health of seriosuly injured victims, and to invest the settlement or verdict funds in a way that increases value and/or sustains the needs of injured victims for as long as possible. Susan works in partnership with attorneys and clients and she is a true professional. She is confident, caring, honest, and accountable to her clients, and this industry. SAGE should be extremely proud to have her as one of many excellent team members of this company.

I highly recommend Carole Callaghan for estate planning and probate. She provided excellent service when we were making our estate plan and answered all of our many questions with patience and understanding. Carole has helped many people I know with their estate plans and probate, and they have also been happy with her performance. She thought of issues that never occurred to us and helped save the beneficiaries of our estate future time, money, and aggravation by dealing with them upfront.

Carole assisted me with a problem with a landlord retaining my security deposit and seeking an additional almost $600 above and beyond the security deposit for "repairs" to my previous apartment. My landlord threatened my credit rating if I didn't pay the additional money within 10 days of receiving the notice. The landlord didn't provide a list of damages, just a list of costs to repair things in the apartment. Carole sent my previous landlord a super strong demand letter. The landlord almost immediately dropped the request for additional money and agreed to "settle" my account by zeroing it out--keeping the security deposit, but not charging any additional money. Carole would have gone further for me, including filing suit to seek the return of the security deposit, if I had asked her to. But I'm a college student and just didn't have the time to follow through. My main concern was protecting my credit rating. Carole was incredibly responsive to me and handled this problem for me professionally and promptly. I know this may not sound like a big deal, but I'm about to enter the job market and employers these days often check credit ratings. Without Carole's assistance, my credit rating may have been damaged because I couldn't have afforded to pay the extra $600 my landlord was demanding. Thanks to Carole's help, I don't have to worry about that and can just focus on graduating! Hook 'em Horns and THANKS CAROLE!

My ex-wife filed for divorce and then proceeded to try to have my family and friends removed from my kids lives. She made up numerous lies about me and even at one point attempted to sue me for a large sum of money in addition to the divorce proceedings. My attorney was Craig Lusk and not only did he disprove all of her bogus claims. He got the suit dropped and NEVER lost in court 1 time (we went to court about 8 different times). The proof is in the pudding...the last time we were in court was over a year ago yet my ex-wife is presently posting false negative reviews against Mr. Lusk. She is a very vindictive and angry person, even posting negative reviews against the 3 lawyers that fired her as a client. Her false review titled the "Worst of the Worst" (posted by Adrianna which so happens to be the name of my last girlfriend) Is a completely fake review full of false information. That review states Mr. Lusk sent his Junior Associate to court in his place. Mr. Lusk handles all cases himself and does not have this person in his office. I hired Mr. Lusk in 2010 and last went to court with him in 2014 and he personally was there every time. Mr. Lusk is a very professional, dedicated, responsible attorney. He takes care of his clients...He is very good at what he does and if I had not hired him I would have not had the custody of my children that I have now and would have suffered more from her unethical tactics and deceit. My divorce was very ugly...If you are attacked you need to protect yourself and Mr. Lusk can do that. He protected me so well, my ex-wife is slandering him 12 months after the case is over!

Things don't happen quickly in the courts but Craig is always on his A game when time comes to be before the judge. He helped me with my divorce after 32 years of marriage and everything went according to plan. I would not want to get another divorce but if I did I would use him and would recommend him to anyone.

I was referred to Will during the messy aftermath of my car accident. I knew that I had been hit and that it was in no way my fault, but I did not understand the legal implications of my situation. From that point on, Will employed what would become his characteristic demeanor throughout our professional relationship: alerting me to all potential options I had, and advising me on the likely outcome of each potential scenario. Will always responded thoroughly and honestly to all my questions, guiding me step by step through the process. The ultimate outcome was more money in my pocket than I ever thought possible. I have since recommended him to anyone I have encountered who might need legal assistance, as his knowledge and expertise, combined with his humble demeanor, provided me with the peace of mind that my situation would be handled optimally.

I recently needed a lawyer for a real estate matter. I was referred to Walter by a Real Estate agent I trusted. I am glad she did. While a lot of firms would have looked at my case and said “You were wronged, but there isn’t enough money in this for us.” Walter, even though he is a high-powered attorney, looked at it as “You were wronged and that upsets me, let’s do something about it.” He cut through all the common hour building legal processes and got to the heart of the matter quickly and efficiently. We asked that he work towards a quick resolve so that we did not have to relive our problem for an extended period. He understood and got us a quick and satisfactory resolution. During this time, I came to really like Walter as a person. He is a good man with strong ethics. If I need a lawyer again for any reason, I will call Walter first.

Our trucking company hired Walter and his firm to defend against a non-compete claim. Walter took a single deposition, filed a summary judgment motion and the other side ended up paying our attorney’s fees. On other occasions, he successfully defended against wage and hour claims. On still other occasions, we were able to resolve matters without litigation. I’m impressed by his ability to cut through the legal nonsense and get results that makes sense. Walter is comfortable in a board room or a job trailer. Walter and his firm are the only attorneys we call when litigation rears its head.

“I was a partner in an energy business. When I left, the partnership was supposed to pay me the fair value of my interest. Instead, the remaining partner wanted to pay about 10% of that value. We had to file a lawsuit, but within a few months, Walter got the case settled at a value that made sense and significantly more than my ex-partner proposed. Walter took the time to learn the facts. He knew the law cold, particularly with respect to how courts interpret contracts. I highly recommend Walter and his Firm.”

Mr. Garcia was recommended to me when my daughter was arrested on a first-offense DWI charge. Soon after our initial phone conversation, he went to check on my daughter and to reassure her, which was a huge thing for us in these uncharted and very scary waters. Throughout the confusing and overwhelming legal process, he handled matters professionally and with genuine concern for my daughter, serving as our focal point of stability and help. He made himself available at any time to advise us, and he unfailingly answered our questions thoroughly and accurately. Best of all, he creatively worked with the judge to negotiate on my daughter's behalf. Make no mistake - there is no "free ride" in a matter such as this. But Mr. Garcia represented my daughter extremely well, and, after fulfilling the terms of her punishment, she will be able to go forth with a clean record and without damage to her career. I recommend Gus Garcia without reservation. As the saying goes,"The proof of the pudding is not in the eating but in the second helping." When it comes time to work through the process of having my daughter's record expunged, he's the attorney I'll engage.

I think he actually cared about my case. He really went to bat for me. And got it done! I could not be happier with his service. Was so grateful I even baked him a pie. I highly recommend this guy. If he's not the right attorney for your needs he freely makes recommendations. My previous experience with most lawyers is that they are just greedy-get-my-money types, with no real concern for justice and no interest in your personal situation. Not Gus. He's the real deal.

Tim was referred to me by another attorney that I had previously worked with in the Real Estate law sector. Tim has a wonderful reputation in town serving his clients with excellence and bringing a calm and peace to a process and time in life that can be quite tumultuous. I found Tim's knowledge of the industry and resources required to bring our case to a close to be incredibly helpful especially when the process would stall at times. Tim would bring ideas, team members and strategies to keep the process moving forward, which was invaluable! I consider Tim and his team a trusted resource that truly had my best interests at mind. If you have to go through this process as many of us will have to do, consider taking the journey with the Nicest Attorney in Austin, who will be a peaceful guide by your side - doing right by you and your family. Wishing you the best! It does get better on the other side and there truly is a brighter future as a result of this process.

Tim has represented me over the last 6 years during my divorce and a few ongoing child custody and support issues. His demeanor and desire to seek an amicable resolution to my divorce as well as the ongoing custody and support issues made the process that much more palatable. I am very happy with the outcome. Divorce sucks but Tim and his team made it less painful while ensuring I received equitable treatment and splits during the process.

I hired Mr. Walters to handle a case dealing with an apartment complex that failed to provide services regarding an issue with hot water. The case went to trial. I have dealt with and hired many lawyers over my years. Personally, I have never experienced a lawyer who is so diligent in their works. Mr. Walters did much case law research and was extremely prepared for trial. During trial he brought forth excellent argument and handled himself in a professional manner. Mr. Walters, I applaud you for your efforts in my case. You did a fantastic job and thank you.

While going through a trying experience I was lucky to have found David Walters. He is positive, supportive and knowledgeable and did whatever he had to do to win my case. His positive interaction with other attorneys and judges was nice to see because it seemed like he was well regarded by his peers. To feel in control of an uncontrollable situation is a rare thing, and he made me feel that way. I don't usually write reviews but a I had to comment about an attorney that is honest and has a lot of integrity.

Dal Ruggles represented me during a very tough time in my life. Not only did he significantly improve the outcome of my case, I also could tell he truly cared. He was always responsive and constantly worked hard to improve my situation and ensure I was getting the best outcome possible. I can say with 100% confidence that I received the best representation possible. Not only was he a fantastic lawyer, he also was an amazing help and influence on my life during that time. Even after, he continued to follow up with me just to see how I was doing. He went above and beyond in every way possible and I hope anyone who is in a similar position that I encountered can have him in their corner. I highly encourage anyone who is needing a lawyer to speak with him as soon as possible! Dal, thank you again for everything you have done for me!!

Dal has represented my child, who has struggled with serious mental illness and substance abuse, for the past eight years in the juvenile, municipal, and county court systems. His knowledge and dedication have been invaluable. At all times he has focused on obtaining the best possible outcomes, with great success. Dal has not only navigated the legal system for my child, but also helped my child and ourselves (the family support) group connect with the social and therapeutic resources we needed. We will always be grateful for his professional ethics, dedication, and kind manner.

I've known Mr. Ruggles for approximately 3 years and he's been amazing at taking my various cases through the juvenile courts as well as district and county courts. I find him to be most ethical, works very hard on my behalf, and kept me informed of my various cases. In addition to being my attorney he gave me exceptional "life learning" advice. I hope I don't need him again as a defense attorney for criminal cases, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a good lawyer.

I was sent to Adam Ward by the Lawyer's Referral Service for my Personal Injury Case and help dealing with my insurance company. I left a message on a Friday afternoon and received a call back ON THE WEEKEND, on Sunday afternoon, and had an appointment Monday morning. As my case has some difficult aspects, frankly, I expected him to reject the case. Instead, we discussed the problems, none of which seemed to phase him, and he told me he would give it his best shot. I found Attorney Ward to be warm, friendly, understanding, compassionate, and straight-forward. I recommend him without hesitation!

Adam Ward is a brilliant atterney. I have used him many times due to the crazy drivers in Austin, and he has always done well by me. I have recommended him to both family and friends and he has done a great job for them, also. And Lorrie, his paralegal, is awesome! She knows what to do in all situations and I feel very confident that Adam will know what's going on when I talk to her. I totally recommend this team for any accident if one hopes to win in the arbitrary court system.

In September of 2016, my car was totaled and I was injured after being hit by a large moving truck. Mr. Heilala was recommended to me by a friend, and that was my second phone call I made while watching my car being towed away. Mr. Heilala was thorough and attentive toward my case from the moment I called him. I would not only recommend Andrew Heilala to others, but I would not hesitate to contact him if I needed attorney services! He obtained a fair settlement for me, and explained everything throughout the course of my case.

After endlessly searching for an attorney in the Houston area to take my dental personal injury case and having zero success, I located Andrew. I suffered injuries when a dentist extracted an incorrect tooth and then proceeded to perform a root canal on an infected tooth which resulted in the loss of that tooth as well. Due to the current laws which protect dental negligence in Texas, I could not locate an attorney willing to take on m case. Andrew was the exception and I am grateful to have found him. He took on my case with a passion and was both diligent and assertive in negotiating with the insurance adjuster to ensure I received the most benefit from my injuries. Even after becoming inpatient in the lengthy process, Andrew assured me that by continuing negotiations it would better my outcome. He was absolutely right. I would recommend Andrew to anyone who encounters an injury such as mine. He was able to recover not only the cost of replacement teeth but also compensation for my pain and suffering which went on continuously for months. If you are searching for attorney who will go the extra mile, Andrew is outstanding.

Mr. Heilala is an excellent lawyer. He is an attentive listener and makes every attempt to respond to my questions and emails in a timely manner. He has gone above and beyond for my custody case (considering he had to travel to another county) and work with me long distance.

I was on the receiving end of false reports which led to charges against me. It took 3 years until the charges were dropped, but Ken stuck with it, patiently answering my questions and holding power to account along the way. The adversarial system isn't designed to be easy, but even by those standards, it was a slog. But working with Ken was a large part of making the process tolerable as we eventually got to the correct result. Thanks, Ken!

I was indicted for multiple felonious charges stemming from an on-duty shooting while employed as a police officer. Ken Ervin & Doug O'Connell fought aggressively to show the case had no grounds for prosecution. The case was ultimately dismissed and the charges expunged. Their cumulative track record of winning jury trials, specifically for law enforcement made a huge difference. I'll forever be thankful for their relentless defense and outstanding communication along the way. 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.
