Michael represented me in a personal injury case. He was very professional and highly skilled. Michael was thorough and kept me up to date every step of the way. I never had to call him to ask for the status. Any time I had a question, he immediately returned my phone call or email, and he patiently listened to what I had to say. He was very logical and methodical in his approach and explained the process to me in detail. I was very happy with the outcome and I would hire him again and recommend him to anyone who needed the services he provides.

I am very grateful for Attorney Eugene Kruka's assistance in resolving a matter with Ford. I had not one but two bad engines that needed replacing and this process dragged on for months with no end in sight. However, things were rectified when Mr. Krukas and his team intervened. His frank assessment of my situation and his legal expertise enabled me to receive a fair settlement. I highly recommended Mr. Eugene Krukas.

Eugene and his partners were very nice and answered all my questions and never once was rude and testy especially since I had never done this before. He always answered my calls. My husband and I had the car for 2 weeks when the brake booster broke as we were driving down the road. We were able to drive it home and then up to the dealer. They told us that it would be about a month before they got the part. They gave us a rental and we actually had to wait 5weeks before we got it back. We still had to make 2months payments on it. We definitely would hire Eugene again if need be.

Book this lawyer if you like being yelled at, ignored and losing your case. Guaranteed. He acts like you are in high school and is yelling at his student. He forgets that he is doing his job for money, not disciplining his kids.

I recently worked with Rachel on closing my house, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The entire process went incredibly smoothly, and Rachel deserves a lot of credit for that. She was always incredibly responsive to my questions, no matter how small. I never had to wait long for a reply to my emails, which gave me great peace of mind throughout the closing process. This was especially helpful for a first-time homebuyer like myself, who had a lot of questions and concerns. Rachel's clear communication and prompt responses made a stressful situation much easier to manage. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive attorney to handle their real estate closing.

I hired this lawyer to handle my divorce. She rarely returned my phone calls. She rarely returned my emails. She did not respond to my husband's attorney. She refused to meet with me before a 4 way meeting with my husband and his attorney. When we went into the meeting, she was unprepared and hadn't even reviewed the net worth statement I was required to prepare. Big mistake- she failed to reduce to writing an agreement that my husband would pay weekly towards the marital bills until the matter was resolved. Because of this huge mistake, I didn't get money for MONTHS, and then it stopped entirely. I discharged her and hired another lawyer, who got me a court order for temporary relief and then settled the matter within months. She is a very nice person but she doesn't LISTEN to her clients (at least, not to me). Discharging her was the best thing I ever did. Divorce is a sad and scary time. It is devastating- and you need a lawyer who listens and supports you. This is not that lawyer.

I hired Mr. Schwartz to help me with a divorce. He charged me a very large retainer which I believed would cover most if not all of the matter. I told him I was low on funds and he said he understood. The first session he came off as kind and compassionate. However, he began to nickel and dime me as soon as he cashed my check. He would make phone calls to me that he would call "updates" even though nothing was going on with the case. Then he would bill me for the phone call, no matter how short it was and then on top of that charge send me a $112 dollar letter which said everything that we discussed in the phone call. He would do this with everyone he talked to on my case. I think these follow up letters ate up half the retainer. Six months into his representation, the whole retainer was gone and I was not even close to getting a divorce. I had to hire another attorney who said he could have done the entire matter with the original retainer and I probably would have gotten a refund. I did not feel like a client with Mr. Schwartz. I felt he took advantage of my vulnerability, tried to make my spouse out to be an adversary when he wasn't, and tried to get as much money out of me as he could.

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.
