I had a frustrating experience with this company, mainly due to a call with a representative named Dory. She informed me the call was recorded, but then insisted everything I said was binding because of the recording, which made no sense. When I tried to clarify, she became argumentative, and the conversation quickly turned into a heated exchange. I felt dismissed and made it clear to other representatives that I didn’t want to deal with her again. This unprofessional interaction left me with a very negative impression of the company.

Bonneville doesn’t purchase debts from their creditors. My dad worked with Matt and he went around and avoided answering all of the questions my dad asked. They claim I owe over $500 for a medical bill that the medical provider has no record of it NOT being paid. It was paid through the provider and Bonneville is still trying to make me pay it through them plus the insane fees that they’ve racked up over the last year and a half. Scam of a collection agency

Mike was suggested through a company provided legal referral program. We had a case involving a incident with an animal. I would normally have gone through our regular attorney but given that my pay goes into the benefits at work I thought I would give it a chance. Mike is abrasive and egocentric, and has very little base (in my opinion) to back this stance up. I did more than I should have to collect and gather data for our case and he merely showed up to court. Though in his appearance there was no pretense of effort or alertness. At one point we met in his office which is a absolute disaster, and he couldn't find the information he had called us over for (which, by the look of his office was probably common). He casually handed us un-redacted court documents telling us that he "shouldn't" but did so anyway. I am no professional in this field but freely giving a individual information which includes the social of those they are up against doesn't seem like a wholly safe practice. Fortunately I am benign and would never forfeit my integrity to ambition. He also made a comment that the legal services don't "pay him enough money" for his effort. If that is the case it sounds like Mike should not involve himself in the referral process. The act of agreeing to provide a service for some compensation then not delivering calls your integrity into question. Eventually we lost the case and had to move the remainder of our dealings over to our normal attorney. Who did the job Mike could not. My suggestion would be to avoid Kulchak even if you are given a opportunity to have it at no cost to you. This was a lesson learned, abide others advice and heed an investment. You couldn't have paid me for his representation.

As my lawyer Doug was very aggressive and very proud of how combative he was with the judge and the other lawyer. His pitbull antics actually made my situation much worse and ended up costing me far more money and stretching out the case much longer than it had to be. He made the judge mad on several occasions because he thought he was smarter than the judge. He made the attorney on the other side mad because he thought he was smarter than the other attorney. I filed a bar complaint against him and have thought about suing him for malpractice. He made my situation much worse, not better. I should have hired anyone but this guy.

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.
