One of the worst trial law firms around. Should be the cheapest firm around but instead very expensive and predatory. Unethical and will blatantly lie straight to your face. Over charges and refuses to follow your wishes.

Back in 2022 attorney Jason was very helpful in the process of Guardianship for my son who has special needs ,the process was very good and he made the process stress free, it was only fair that I would comeback to him again for help with my youngest son who is also special needs. I just want to extend my gratitude in all you have helped us and I hope others can find you I. Such stressful times. Thank you attorney Jason.

My spouse and I are glad to have her to discuss about our divorce. There was no mess & fight, and Linda made our divorce papers in one day! (Actually in 7 hours!) What we needed to is to make copies and submit them to the court. Done! I had heard "a divorce is too long & miserable...." but with her, it never happened! During the discussion, she was very neutral and listened to both of us carefully and gave us reasonable advices. I definitely recommend het. You wouldn't get nervous in front of her, rather she would make you to talk your opinion comfortably.

Divorce is painful. There's no two ways about it. But utilizing Linda instead of hiring two attorneys was a great decision. My ex and I both had pre-conceived ideas of what we wanted our marriage settlement agreement to look like and Linda was a patient teacher, enlightening us multiple times we may not be expecting reasonable outcomes. We were surprised by the complexity of our case. Even our presiding judge commented on how complex our case was and thanked us for having it so neatly prepared and easy to read and understand. He commented on how thorough our documentation and agreement was. Linda was an indispensable asset to us due to her unique expertise and experience, offering us solutions and perspectives we would not have considered. She was even able to break down confusion into simple terms, easier to understand. Especially helpful was her teaching us how the law and court could affect us in the future in ways we could not have possibly conceived. Perhaps her most valuable quality was the ability to bring 2 people with 2 very different ideas, together in the middle, to compromise. At first we had no idea how far from reality our expectations were, and she enabled us to both get grounded with an amicable resolution we could both agree on. It meant we both had to adjust our expectations and once we did we ended up with something we could both live with for our future.

Linda is wonderful to work with! She brings a tremendous amount of value to the table with her experience and ensures a fair & reasonable approach from both sides. She is able to remain impartial, understand both sides of negotiations and aid both parties in protection as well, resulting in an amicable resolution. She can infuse levity into difficult circumstances. A huge money saver as well!! I'm so glad we hired Linda instead of 2 attorneys!

Mr. Rettko and his adroit paralegal Kristine work outstandingly together to expose the flaws of opposing counsel and their case. They discovered data critical to my case that even I had not realize on my own. Mr Rettko demonstrated sagacity and professionalism throughout the litigation process. I was impressed with his follow through in regards to communication. He contacts me immediately with developing information related to my case and explains them in terms I find to be succinct and easy to understand. His experience clearly shows in his polished and confident manner. I.have absolute trust and confidence in Mr. Rettko and i have recommended his firm to several friends. In sum, he is a superlative litigator with an eye for uncovering the seemingly nugatory facets of a case and integrating that information into an effective instrument to expose inadequacies and inconsistencies in the opposing counsel's case. Mr.Rettko explained his fee schedule prior to my retaining him, he is extremely organized and operates with the highest level of ethical integrity.

I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in which I totaled my 2006 HD Heritage Softail motorcycle. The following day I called Cannon & Dunphy to represent me and Brett Eckstein was assigned to my case. Brett did an outstanding job informing me every step of the way on how a case like this would move through the court system and how long he expected it to take. I also had a great experience working with paralegal Athena Rossetti on regular updates on my surgeries, follow up doctor visits and physical therapy. The team there did a great job taking care of all of the medical bills and securing a very satisfactory settlement.

My husband and I chose Attorney Landry to represent us because we saw his already existing 5 star reviews - and I am happy to add another one! He truly is an excellent attorney. He is completely non-judgmental; he simply wants to help you, no matter what situation you are in or how you got there. He is prompt with all information, but also relays it in just enough detail so you understand exactly what needs to be done and when. Throughout our process, not once did we feel nervous or uncertain how things would go, because Attorney Landry made sure to explain everything and guarantee he could deliver on what he said he would do or what would most likely happen. We could text or call him anytime with questions, and he always answered between his other consultations and hearings. His pricing is reasonable and is presented in such a way that you can be rest assured he does not charge hidden fees. Above all his professionalism, he is a down to earth guy that you can feel completely at ease with. I personally guarantee, if you need representation, you will be relieved and glad you chose Landry Law Offices!

Atty Sidney Sodo is an attorney with all the below qualities. Has the ability to call in other Attorneys when needed, is compassionate yet to the point and works for the interests of the client. We are not attorneys and when you need one this attorney is in my opinion one to contact. He and his "firm" will go beyond the call of duty to protect your rights. When hiring a counselor to conduct legal binding decisions the attributes of the counselor combined with his/her. Professional/Personal character is as important as the following, Wisdom has its special and unique benefit in/beyond the courtroom. *May blessing reward the professional that maintains the following attributes: Your attorney must have Studied the appropriate law and provide expert legal advice. Make certain the client receives the benefit of all their rights under the law and does not do anything, which might jeopardize their client's interest. Your attorney must conduct the client's case so that it will be decided on the merits, rendering the highest fidelity toward the rights of the client. Protecting the client's confidentiality. Your attorney must Conduct the case in an orderly and expeditious manner, you lawyer must Obey the law and adhere to professional ethics, Represent you ethically, zealously and within the bounds of the law. Competently analyze legal issues & exercise knowledge of the laws applicable to your case. He or she must communicate with you in a timely and effective manner making sure you understand what, why and exactly the goal. Your lawyer attorney owes you, as the client, a duty of loyalty. Remember he works for you and teamwork is of vital importance to succeed in prevailing. Your lawyer can't represent you and another client due to legal interests conflicting with yours. *An example of an obvious conflict would be representation of both the landlord and the tenant in an eviction action or both the defendant and respondent in any civil actions i.e. domestic divorce, separation, union action etc. For so long as he/she continues to represent you, your lawyer is required to follow your directions in handling your case unless those directions are illegal. Your lawyer must keep your personal property separate from his or her own property, and must keep your money in an escrow account. Any time you demand it, your lawyer must return your money or property. Except in rare circumstances, your lawyer is required to keep client confidences confidential. Depending on the jurisdiction, lawyers may be prohibited from having personal relationships with their clients. Unless he or she first obtains your informed written consent, your lawyer is prohibited from taking on representation that is adverse to your interests. *I.e. talking or meeting with all parties prior to retaining the legal representation of one of the parties he/she has prior confidential information through conversation, which then can be a conflict of knowledge obtained by both opposing sides in any court trial. It is a special Firm that is recognized to maintain these qualities in your employees and solicitors. These are the Firms that have loyal, content and family type list of clients. They are to be recommending in the unrelenting battles in the courts today.

Couldn't have been a better experience. I had contacted two other attorneys before hiring Mr. Kershek. The first flat out told me he/she couldn't accomplish what I was looking for and so didn't want to take the case on. The second reminded me multiple times that I was taking a huge risk by spending money on him/her because it was not likely that anything would change. I called Mr. Kershek the night before I had court. He not only took the case on at the last minute without hesitation, but he displayed the confidence, fervor, and hope that I needed to feel secure in my decision to move forward with an attorney. He went to bat for me and ultimately accomplished what I was looking for. His rates were better than the other attorneys I had contacted as well! I will be forever grateful.

Can’t say enough good things about KDR, especially Attorney Romans. Had the most unexpected last 2 years of my life. Both parents (divorced) unexpectedly passed, with no Will/Trust, nothing in place. After seeing what the executors had to go through, I promised my wife I’d never allow anyone to go through that with our family. I can’t recommend Brian enough. Incredibly thorough, and infinitely thoughtful when it comes to sensitive situations. And, not to mention, a fraction what I thought the cost would be. Wish I could give higher than 5 stars.

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.
