My family needed an attorney for a zoning issue we had with Indianapolis. We had worked with another attorney prior to hiring Joe. Suffice it to say that they had not instilled confidence, and in the end they caused more problems than they solved. Joe was recommended to us as being the best in town, and he agreed to take our case. Joe jumped right in, and immediately made us feel like we had hired the right guy. He met with the right people with the city, negotiated with them on our behalf, and got our problem resolved so my family could get back to our lives. He has a calm demeanor and is friendly and easy to work with. Can't recommend him enough.

I had an accident in the beginning of this year(2020). Very scary time for me, full of uncertainty. I hired Renata, and I am so pleased I did. She was there for me every step, even came to see me in the hospital! She was always easy to reach, extremely responsive, and was able to resolve my legal issue very quickly. highly, HIGHLY recommend Renata Vizental, especially if you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you, and support you, and get results!

Asst. DA Siobhan M. McHale assisted with intake information regarding my daughters sexual assault when she was younger while building on another recent violation to a family member. She made this horrible experience so easy to share. She was focused, kind, compassionate and detailed. Without her patience and empathy we would not have been able to proceed as easily as we did with my own daughters case. Her follow through was seamless and detailed. What a blessing she's been.

Bill was recommended to me by my financial lawyer to advise me legally regarding my drawn out divorce. He has literally been the most supportive, available, reliable and knowledgeable resource during this very draining process. Divorce is already messy, but with Bill's help I was advocated for effectively and aggressively. He accepted my calls and personally went out of his way to represent me, even discussing legalities outside office hours when it was the only time available. He would go over paperwork with me on the phone and made sure I was covered in the final agreement drafted by the mediator. I cannot recommend him enough. Esp to single women. His prices are more than reasonable for the care and experience he has and gives. There are A LOT of lawyers who take advantage of women in the frail emotional state of their divorces and charge them exorbitant hourly fees for hardly any real advocacy or work done on their part. Esp in NYC. So do your research and keep your lawyer on a tight leash if you decide to not go with Bill. Every time you talk to your lawyer, keep track of the length of phone calls, meetings and keep a paper trail. That way, when it comes to final invoicing, you've got all the documentation to show how much he/she should be charging. I was overcharged by one such lawyer and wrote a review about him on Yelp. Keep costs up front and talked about each time you speak with your lawyer. It's not personal, it's business. You have to think of it as a game of chess, and leave your emotions at the door. Lawyers are not therapists so don't get your time with them confused with talking about anything other than legalities and your case. I truly hope you hire Bill though because he is absolutely a gem in the midst of a lot of greedy Wall Street wolves. Good luck and stay smart ladies. I know how tough divorce is, so keep your support system strong cuz you cannot do it on your own. Bill will be in your corner the whole time and keep putting those boxing gloves on you each time until you get the best settlement possible. A paralegal friend of mine told me, "Lacey, you will not get the settlement you want. No one gets the exact settlement they want. But you can walk away with the best one, and when it's drafted, take it".

Having Wanda as my lawyer has been the best thing that has happened to me, responsible, helpful, always answers the calls, the means of communication with her are very accessible, even if you are not in the country you can always be in contact with her if you have any Ask she will answer you immediately. It is important to feel safe in every legal process you are going through and feel that the results will be successful and fast. After consulting several lawyers, and meeting Dr. Negron, feel free to work with her, I feel very safe and know that she is very well prepared in each and every one of the areas I need, in addition to the office of Dr. Negron has very skilled people in the legal area and they make your process even easier, they are very friendly people just like her. I strongly recommend this great lawyer, she achieved all the best for me and the results were very beneficial for my children and for me. Working with her has been a blessing, because she has not only been my defender, but also my director in all other stages of my life, personal and professional. If you want great results, look for great lawyers like Wanda Negron.

We needed help with a case regarding my father and Mr. Lach was a very patient, understanding, & intelligent young man. He was able to quickly resolve our case and unlike previous lawyers we had dealt with, he stayed on top of everything. We didn't have to chase after him! He explained all of our options to us and answered all of our questions without hesitation. If we ever need legal help again we will definitely use Mr. Lach. We highly recommend him.

I found Jason through a friend who went to school with him at Brown. i was first a bit skeptical because he called him self a "concierge" lawyer which meant he came to me or did most of the work over the phone or via email. I gave him a chance and Jason worked so hard for me. He was available night and day whenever i needed. His price was reasonable and he was willing to work with me. He is very knowledgeable in not only law including trademark and copyright issues but business and management matters.. I highly recommend him. 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.
