We just want to express our sincere thanks to Colin Fitzgerald at Doran & Murphy. From our first conversation with Colin we felt as if he truly understood everything that we had been through. He represented our interests well and kept reassuring us that he was on our side and what we were feeling was comepletely normal and justified. Colin understood railroad law, standards and policy. We feel the communication was top notch. If we had to use just 4 words to describe Colin they would be Honest, Compassionate, Ethical and Knowledgeable. We trusted his guidance and he did not let us down. Thank you again.

Professionalism is the first word that comes to mind when I think of my experience with Mr alba! Would absolutely recommend Mr Alba to anyone looking for a great attorney! Very thorough! He took my sisters accident case, and the day he took her case he went to see her in the hospital! Grade A++ attitude and an amazing attorney overall! Thank you so much Sam!

This is no bs Carol Brent is the real deal helped me obtain ssdi in a matter of months. The contract i signed with her was a 1 page fee agreement very simple to understand searched around for other lawyers they had multiple pages they wanted to charge you fees above what is aloud other lawyers took weeks to get back to me to see if they would take case they pawn you off on there paralegals to handle your case and charge extra. My advise to you take your time to search around for a good ssdi lawyer but I already did that for you go with Brent law firm. carol does her own work answers her own phone calls you meet with her she calls you back in a matter of hours or next day she takes her time to answer all your questions helps after your approved. But remember your dealing with the state carol does everything in her power to get quick result. Call carol before you do anything on your own she likes to do all the paperwork from the beginning. Other lawyers tell you to start the paperwork on your own bs see Carol first. I highly recommend Carol but if you would like to roll the dice and go with someone else I wouldn't recommend it. I have had a very good experience with her. Her favorite saying is no worries she kind of keeps you unstressed through the process be patient 01/28/2022

Carol Brent took my case on and boi she didn’t even know that she restored my faith, her confident ability, dedicated demeanor, and professionalism spoke volumes, I was tired of fighting, I fought to stay alive, I fought to make it out the hospital and Carol fought for me and my benefits and We Won!!!!!! It took time and denials yet she didn’t stop and she gathered every document and details needed, she treated my case like it was her only one, she is by far one of the most amazing, dedicated, diligent, hardworking professional I ever met. If you choose her just know you have chosen the best of the best, her work speaks for itself, she doesn’t need a commercial or a billboard just meet with her and you will see for yourself!!

David Coombs saved my career, passion and livelihood. My initial request for information from him received a quick and thorough response. After retaining David, he quickly went to work. Once I saw what he was doing on my case, my stress levels decreased significantly. David was a true advocate for me. He worked hard and was always reachable. Best of all, he is experienced, knows the military legal system very well and had the respect of the members at the Flying Evaluation Board as he is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve with over 20 years of service. David’s use of technology was also very helpful. I enjoyed using the collaborative website that allowed me to see and track the work being done, witnesses contacted and communications with the Command. This system was user-friendly, excellent for organizing the case and streamlined communication between the two of us. David Coombs has my highest recommendation if you need someone to fight for you and your career. He is highly skilled, responsive and dedicated to his clients.

I am so glad we ran into Mr. Coombs and that he, agreed to take our case. My daughter is an active duty U.S. Army soldier serving in South Korea. She was wrongly accused of multiple charges under a 15-6 investigation, this case was a real juggernaut, a 32-page indictment with all kinds of twists and turns. Mr. Coombs quickly reviewed the case and gave us his initial assessment. Even though we were over 6K miles apart, he always made us feel like we were right next door, access, communication and feedback was quick and insightful, questions were tough but reflected his interest and commitment to the case. As the case progressed, we started to realize his defense strategy, its was simply brilliant. At first, I was a little hesitant to engage a lawyer without a face-to-face meeting, but he definitely have proved me wrong. He never over promised but was clear on the direction and kept us informed on possible courses of actions. The final outcome was a complete vindication, this was a relief for our entire family, I was, to say the least, very happy......none; not a single recommendation from the Investigating Officer against my daughter was validated by the decision-making authority, the entire case was basically discarded, she got her career back along with another chance to move forward thanks to Mr. Coombs' outstanding defense. BREAK; I would like to take this opportunity express my most sincere gratitude to Mr. Coombs, first and foremost for taking our case, asking the right (tough) questions and putting such a brilliant defense into action. We would not have had this outcome if it were not for his hard work, dedication and expertise. Again, thanks David for all your support, now I know how to find you the next time we need the very best legal representation in all military matters. V/r Gil

Karl did everything he could for me from the minutes I've seen him. He found out how serious my situation was and was able to assure me of my options. His analyst was super accurate and he helped me with all of the supplement situations I had surrounding my incident. Even the ones that didn't involve him! That kind of closure u won't get from another attorney. He "walked" me through, and I mean walked, the steps I need to take to make sure that my whole situation is correct...not just one part or a piece of the situation. We have a great friendly relationship as he is a funny guy also. He also understands situations that you or any other person may go through, and helps the best he can. I get out of court quickly...way quicker than a public defender or being by yourself can get you. He's made follow up calls with me and help me in ways the court would not allow me without him.. the best lawyer you can have!!

Florina has constantly found the best ways to bring trial advocacy alive for her students and inspired many, including myself, to pursue careers in the law. She has found and continues to find interesting and engaging ways to introduce the students in her class to the intricacies of law, the legal process, the ways a lawyer builds a case, and how to effectively argue the law in a courtroom.

I hired Dan Schuller to help get Medicaid for my mother. I live in Canada which complicates things...and this was a very difficult case. I interviewed by phone (due to the pandemic) four lawyer firms. Dan was the only one I had confidence that could succeed in getting Medicaid. Dan's knowledge, professionalism and sincerity won me over the first time I talked to him. The other lawyer firms outright said, "They couldn't do it." Dan was always available by phone or email to answer my questions. He never made me feel inferior for asking for guidance. He was a pleasure to work with. Dan succeeded in getting my mother her Medicaid in an amazing timeframe. I give Dan the highest recommendation for anyone looking for an Elder Law Attorney!

Even with the pandemic the total time the divorce took was approx 6 months.. She was attentive to all information sent yo us from the other attorney. She has a nice way about her but she can be a " bull dog" if it was required - from what I have heard from other attorneys she is well respected in the in her field .

Chris O’Brien (& his team) are incredibly honest people and tenacious lawyers. After working with him for ~2 years, I can confidently say they’re in this for the right reasons and you want them on your side. I was viciously attacked by a dog (leaving permanent scarring even through layers of clothing) — and the dog owners not only showed no regard for my injuries they tried every trick in the book to avoid taking any responsibility (including moving out of state after the bite was reported). Chris didn’t give up on fighting for me — and ultimately was kind enough to even waive his fees given the final settlement value. Chris truly cares about the well being of his clients, which is something you’ll need when you’re at your most vulnerable. He’s a straight shooter yet also very charismatic — I would recommend him to any of my friends & family.

He advised and worked with me through one of the lowest points of my life. He's an excellent writer, and crafts legal arguments clearly and concisely. When the administration repeatedly mishandled my academic grievance, he articulated the shortcomings and mistakes I encountered on a level I would not have been capable of without him. I can tell it is in alignment with his values to help fight for what's right, and he did his best to help me wherever possible through this difficult chapter of my life.

They were sympathetic and non-judgemental which really made me feel comfortable in such an uncomfortable situation. They always kept me informed either by phone or email, and was always available to answer any questions. They didn't "candy-coat" any possible outcomes of my case so I knew what to be prepared for. They really fought for me, and much to my surprise, my case was dismissed (not typical). The Rossi Law firm didn't just meet my expectations, they truly exceeded them.

Facing criminal charges was one of the worst life experiences I have ever encountered. I knew I had to hire the best criminal lawyer in Buffalo. I did extensive research into law firms and lawyers. I decided to hire the Rossi Law firm based on their reviews and their credentials. This was one of the best decisions of my life! Nicholas Rossi represented me in my matter and was able to produce the best possible outcome. He is a brilliant lawyer who went above and beyond my expectations. He is a master researcher and extremely knowledgeable in criminal law. The work that he produced during my matter, I don’t think any other lawyer could match and this is why I had the outcome that I did. Nicholas Rossi is extremely professional and ethical - he will not make you promises which some lawyers try to do. He always provided me with detailed information about the matter, explaining everything factually, allowing for well informed decisions to be made. He was always available in a very timely fashion to answer questions and he always provided me the time to explain things very well. He was also always in communication with me to provide me with updates throughout the process. Lawyers are expensive but I can guarantee you that you will get the best value for your dollar with Nicholas Rossi as a result of his outstanding work ethic; his commitment to the best outcome; the quality of his work; and his knowledge and expertise. The Rossi Law firm has an exceptional billing system in place that is so detailed allowing you to see exactly how your money is being spent. Also, comparing the time spent on the work and the work that is produced, you can clearly see that Nicholas is an extremely honest, fair, highly skilled intelligent lawyer. Again, Nicholas Rossi exceeded my expectations and I hired him believing he was the best.

I want to take this opportunity to thank both Nicholas and Michael Rossi and their law firm for their exceptional representation while defending me in a recently concluded DWI case. From our first consultation, to planning our strategy, through several court appearances, to the final court decision, they were very professional and provided excellent legal advice and guidance. They treated me with constant respect and courtesy, not as a criminal. Nicholas was the primary litigator and did a great job in the courtroom, while Michael assisted providing additional counsel. It was a rather long drawn out process due to the Covid-19 impact on the legal system closing down the courts, but Nicholas kept assuring me our case was strong and to be patient, and it paid off. The court agreed with our defense motions that the traffic stop by the officer was illegal, which rendered all evidence inadmissible, which led to the dismissal of all charges against me. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend Nicholas and the Rossi Firm for any DUI/DWI legal representation. Great job guys ..... Thank You !!!

This is my first time retaining an attorney. I did not know what to expect or how it would go but from the first conversation I had with him on the phone he calmed me down immediately and explained the law whenever I had a question and was extremely patient. One important thing I want to point out if you're shopping for an attorney is that Andrew answers the phone and responds if not immediately very soon and never leaves you hanging. He went above and beyond not just the facets of the case but also made sure that everything was good regarding my job. He took time to answer any questions I had and made sure I was satisfied. I was impressed with his calm demeanor and he fights till the very end and does not even waiver. I recommend him highly.

Kurt Saccone is absolutely one of the best lawyers in Buffalo, New York. I was placed in deportation proceedings and he was able to adjust my status to permanent resident. Mr. saccone goes the extra mile when assisting his clients. He was able to go back to my home country and gather evidence for my case and also put my family at ease. I would advise anyone going through this process to exercise patience even though it would seem very difficult. I was detained throughout that process for a very long time and it is easy to lose hope. Kurt was able to keep myself and my wife positive through that difficult time.

I suffered a knee injury at work 4/2018. Over a period of months my knee weakened & I was told by my doctor, I needed a replacement. My employer disagreed. I had no idea on how worker’s compensation worked. I sent the same email to 7 attorneys. Only one responded-Jeff. My email was full of dates & names of who was told what & when. It also contained my employers responses. Jeff said the detail & amount of information in my initial email made my case. Jeff walked me through the process. After the first hearing establishing my case, my employer denied my claim. Jeff told me exactly how to respond & what to fill out. He was caring & patient. He returned calls & responded quickly to email. He Took time to call & explain what forms were coming in the mail & what they meant. It took a couple hearings & an IME to authorize my claim & get my knee replaced. Jeff was there the entire time. He was patient & explained everything along the way. I will tell everyone who needs a worker’s compensation attorney to call Jeff. He is just a nice, humble & honest guy. He made this ordeal far less stressful & easier to understand. In short, he’s awesome. If you’re new to the system & need a beacon, let Jeff be that light.

After much frustration in trying to find a patent attorney that I felt would look out after me, and my idea for a patent, I had just about given up. I looked into doing the process myself, but quickly got lost and overwhelmed in the world of patents. Realizing I could not do it myself, I narrowed it down to a couple of patent attorneys and prayed a lot about the direction to go. The answer I felt I received was Stake, and the first meeting with Joshua Mertzlufft was a confirmation of that answer. Josh is very good at what he does, patient in explaining the process, very detailed orientated, insightful, and humble. The process became fun and exciting instead of frustrating. I now have my first patent and another one pending. Thank you so very much Joshua!!

Howard worked beyond expectations my expectations in providing me with quality services. He was professional in all instances and spent time to understand the details of what happened to me and how I was injured. I would use him again, but I hope I don't get hurt at work again.

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.
