I was referred to Gerard through a friend who I whole heartedly value . Gerard and his firm were honest professionals and got the job done. He was professional in all off my my expectations. They handled a tenant eviction in my home and they were true to their word and got the job done. Gerard’s office personnel answered every phone call and email professionally and I never felt like I was intruding on their time. I would highly recommend his services if you are in need . I had many emails and conversations with his paralegal Maureen who answered all my questions and concerns. The moving company that they recommended as well lived up to all my expectations. You can take comfort in knowing that if you are in need of an eviction attorney, Gerard is the one that you should hire.

Mr. Shelsky was incredibly easy to work with, why? Because he makes it easy. That's the telltale sign of an exceptional professional. We closed on our first home just a few days ago and our team, because of Mr. Shelsky, out-classed the other team by a huge margin. I cannot recommend Mr. Shelsky high enough. Look no further than this man.

I entered into what seemed like a solid business venture but one of my partners quickly revealed his true colors and things kept getting progressively worse. The business was a mess and I didn't know where to begin to turn things around, but I knew I needed to get out of this partnership. I felt trapped, my business was now a breath away from complete failure and I thought my significant financial investment was lost. Mr. Clark quickly honed in to the heart of the problem alaid out a strategy to make it right without going to court. These were some of the most stressful months of my life, but in the end everything happened exactly the way he said it would. While I took a hit, financially, the problem was solved. He is a tough deal maker and I am glad he had my back on this one!

More than a year ago my family was faced with the reality that my mother’s health was failing. After some time it was apparent that we needed legal expertise in order to get my mother the services she needs. After a short conversation with Nicole , the stress and pressure dealing with the legal aspect of assisting an elderly family member was put to rest . Nicole immediately outlined all aspects of what was needed to maintain my mother’s dignity and some kind of financial independence. Nicole’s office walked me through each step of the process making a difficult situation , much easier . Kudos to Nicole and her team for all their expertise and experience.!.!.!!

Matthew Fella is certainly the best. He was my lawyer when I fell in a large chain store, which caused me to need surgery. He dedicated his time and efforts to my case, especially when the large chain store refused to reply to him. He continued to work hard for me and never gave up. Less than a year later, I received a great settlement, more than him and I thought even possible. He worked so hard for me and I would refer him to everyone who wants a lawyer who is dedicated, hardworking and very caring.

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.
