I hired Deetza on a number of occassions. She represented me on issues involving child support, housing mortgage issues, power of attorney issues and vehicle and traffic matters. I have also consulted with her many times and she has always been more than happy to assist me. She is always open and receptive to questions I may have. I am absoloutely satisfied with the quality of representation I received from Deetza. Even though she is a very busy attorney, I still seek her services and will continue to do so. She is responsive in a timely manner to my requests and legal needs. Her litigation skills are excellent and I have recommended her to my family and friends.

I am very pleased with my decision to work with Miss Benno. She is a very hardworking attorney and devoted much time and energy to my case, always making sure to explain any questions I had along the way. Miss Benno was very supportive of my goals and worked very hard to achieve them for me. She was responsive and level-headed. I very much recommend Miss Benno!

0 stars. Travis was assigned to me as a public defender and claims you can consult with him by reaching out to him at his office. It is extremely rare to get in touch with him. He doesn’t return phone calls, or messages. Also, I had a clear cut and dry defense against a supposed interlock violation and was informed that I would not have a case to try and defend myself against the accusation. Instead, knowing that I had no knowledge of what the laws were in this situation, I was instructed to take probation for 3 years after being on conditional discharge for over a year already. I was told I would not get a trial, instead a hearing with the judge and DA only, and also was told that I would most definitely lose if I went that route. So taking probation added another 3 years of stress and headaches to my life. Not to mention an interlock device for a total of 5 years. He simply does not care about anyone who cannot afford an attorney, so do not be fooled when he says he has your best interest in mind. He represented me, if you call it that, for 3 months. Maybe longer, and asked me who I was every single time I went to court. He won’t go out of his way, or worry about your rights if it causes extra work for him. I am a first time offender and the charge is misdemeanor. I am suffering through 5 long years of punishment, classes, expenses, rights being taken away, etc. Extremely dissatisfied because after I agreed to the terms he proposed, I found out it was all a sham and I could have had a defense to combat the accusations of an interlock violation. However, it had been months before I found out and by then was too late to file an appeal. Wish there was negative stars to choose.

Travis handled a real estate transaction for me about four years ago. He walked me through every step. I know that he no longer handles real estate but he was very helpful to me during a stressful time. I have had friends that have hired him for criminal matters and have been extremely impressed with him.

I hired Travis to represent me in a criminal matter. I was extremely dissatisfied with his performance and his failing to address, what I believe to be serious issues, pertaining to the case. A attorney has the legal obligation to insure there clients rights are preserved. A attorney has the duty to address all wrongs which have or could potentially have a harmful impact on the clients case. A attorney should immediately address any issue in a timely manner as to preserve any legal time limits which would bar a defendant from raising the issue in the future. Please do thorough research on any attorney prior to hiring, as if you obtain poor representation it could affect you for life.

I called here on 3/30/22 around 4:00 pm to make an appointment about a legal issue. The phone rang twice and someone picked up and hung up on me without me me saying anything. Kudos to whoever picked up and hung up on me. I'll go somewhere else. I'll make sure I won't call here again. I will/won't recommend this place to anyone.

This lawyer is absolutly unprofessional! He was argumentative and had all of the work completed by his secretary and his negligence caused a huge overlook that resulted in hundreds of dollars having to be unexpectedly paid out. I tried contacting him several times about the situation and was once again able to talk to only the secretary who was as helpful as she could be, but could not solve the problem. So disappointed!

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.
