Very disappointed. Their website says they are compassionate as they know their clients are going through difficult times. We were respectful, conscientious and even apologetic in our verbal and written communucation to Ms. Grear and her secretary, Heather. However, unfortunately, Ms. Grear just let us go as clients, refunding part of our retainer fee because we allegedly called her secretary too often.

Ms. Grear handled my estate issues with empathy, helpfulness, and ease. She was responsive to my questions with promptness and care. Her expertise in handling all matters was exemplary. Approaches to handling estate matters were easy to understand.and easily put into place. Only regret is that I did not consult with her earlier.

Linda and her staff were an absolute delight to work with. My matter was very complex with multiple siblings and a lengthy will left by my father. Linda made sure to keep me informed about my case and always responded to my questions in a timely manner. Anyone can tell what a passion she has for her job right away. It was nice to deal with someone so caring and knowledgeable during such a difficult time in my life. I would recommend Linda to anyone who has estates and trusts needs.

For many years I have used Brian's services and have recommended him to many of my clients. Brian has always been very accessible and has always delivered a favorable result and his fees, unlike many other attorneys is very fair and are within the original parameters that we discussed when he was first engaged. Feedback I received from others is that they were very happy with his service. If you want a top notch attorney without the high fees and endless billing I highly recommend Brian.

Mr. Winspear is the most experienced tax lawyer around. My accountant was not equipped to deal with the IRS for an audit so I looked for a well qualified attorney. Mr. Winspear was the right choice. He is extremely knowledgeable, very professional, and made me feel at ease through this very stressful process. When I called him with questions he either answered the phone or got back to me very quickly. I also found his fees very reasonable. I hope to never have to deal with the IRS again, but if I do I feel much better knowing that Bill is just a phone call away.

For half my life, it seems, I have been battling with the taxing authorities. Being a small businessman is hard enough, when it comes to the taxing authorities often your best is not good enough. That is to be expected, I suppose, but when they get you in their crosshairs, "Look Out!" After living in fear of opening my mail, countless audits, and visits from revenue agents, I finally found Mr. Winspear and he resolved my issues in short order. He was fair, even handed, and not a rip off (not something I can say from some of my past dealings with attorneys). Thank You, from me and my family, Mr. Winspear, you saved my life.

If this is your child's attorney contact the legal aid bureau and get a new child attorney does child attorney I have watched on multiple cases she handled one of my cases did a horrible job I watched on a few other cases when I was still going through my stuff because I got rid of her and I hear the same thing from all the same people about her that she picks the parent with the most money that she belittles the other parents regardless of proof or anything so basically if you have more money than your spouse she'll believe everything you say and shall be little you therefore she fails to look out for the safety of the children not only that on numerous occasions I heard from people that she has also lied about stuff in the courtroom that hasn't been proven yet but will be proven eventually I bet within the next 6 months because karma is real. So for anybody looking for a decent child attorney passes page don't even look further this child's attorney is horrible you could probably pay her 10 grand and she'll tell you you'll have your kids 99% of the time and at the end of the case the other party will have the kids 99% of the time you'll have them 1% and then social say that's how the balls rolled I guess you know so she's just takes your money and basically doesn't do any work for it I wish I could have a job like that for God's sakes I had to do all my own work I should be a child's lawyer I had to do all my own homework she didn't do nothing for me I literally had to get all my own affidavits and everything yeah horrible worst lawyer ever.

Nelson Torre is a lawyer who assisted me with a traffic ticket for running a STOP sign, which was connected to an accident. His fees were reasonable, and he was readily available to discuss my case. If he wasn't available, his associate would gather all the necessary details and provide assistance. Nelson responded to my emails promptly and kept his word throughout the process. Thanks to his efforts, my case was dismissed as he had promised. Here’s a bit more about my experience: When I first received the ticket, I was worried about the potential consequences, especially since an accident was involved. I reached out to Nelson, and he immediately put me at ease with his professional yet approachable demeanor. He carefully explained the steps we needed to take and reassured me that he would handle everything. True to his word, he stayed in constant communication, updating me on the progress and responding to any questions I had without delay. Even when he was busy, his associate was there to help, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. In the end, Nelson’s expertise and dedication resulted in the dismissal of my case, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his support.

I have been with Sawer & Sackel for 3 separate workers comp claims and have been very unsatisfied until recently. Up until Holly took ownership in my cases I was left wondering what was going on. I was the one that had to initiate any and all inquiries into correspondences from the insurance carrier. And I rarely spoke with a lawyer and it was Never the same individual. Since working with Holly things have change my thinking entirely. She has taken ownership in my case and has gone above and beyond my expectations (or at least what my expectations of a law firm should be) and have reaffirmed my choice in a workers compensation law firm. Holly will initiate and follow up on all inquiries and respond in a timely manner. I have enjoyed working with her and look forward to a positive outcome in my pending cases.

I’ve been with Sawers & Sackel for a few months. From day one, they have been professional and answered all of my questions. Going through this process has been difficult. During a phone call, Holly was so supportive. A few days later, I received a letter from Holly, with handwritten encouragement from her! It brought me to tears. I’ve never heard of a law firm that cares this much, to not only work diligently on my behalf but to take an interest in me personally. Bill and Julie have also been so supportive to me I would recommend Sawers & Sackel to anyone!!

Scheduled quickly for an appointment, office ended up closed presumably for snow, I was able to call and make another phone consultation for later in the same week. Mr. Friedman was knowledgeable and understanding of our situation. One area that we need assistance with he is not able to address himself however will have us set up with his colleague to discuss this matter. Thank you for your time and quick response.

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.
