I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by George Costopoulos.He represented my son with unmatched expertise, dedication, and compassion. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, George demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal system and a relentless commitment to our case. His ability to communicate complex legal matters in an accessible way was incredibly reassuring. Thanks to his hard work, we achieved a favorable outcome. I highly recommend George Costopoulos to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate defense attorney.

I had a very complicated, potentially criminal case that started with a custody dispute. The challenges were multiple and sometimes appeared insurmountable. Shawn’s slow but steady guidance through the process led to complete exoneration. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Attorney Stottlemeyer took our case at the 11th hour, after listening to a desperate message I’d left with his office. Our custody case had been extremely complicated, beginning in Perry County and continuing for almost 8 years with an highly combative ex-spouse. I had almost lost all hope of getting it resolved in a healthy way. There was an escalating domestic abuse situation and my children were in danger. Not only did Shawn help us get the protection we needed from the court, he took time out of his busy schedule to speak with both my kids, as well as myself in order to secure a guardian et litem to help them have a voice. My kids are now thriving and have been in a stable, safe environment for almost 3 years now. All thanks to Attorney Stottlemeyer and his hard-working team at Mooney Law. We are very grateful and couldn’t have done this alone. Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Atty Shannon Costa on a very important case involving CYA that could have had a very big impact on my career. Atty Costa was very professional and made sure to get all the paperwork in on time even emailing me at the start of her vacation to make sure everything was complete. Her fees were very reasonable and she made sure to get the job done and see it through until the end as CYA ended up dropping everything. Thanks Shannon for everything!

When I was looking for an attorney to assist me in obtaining custody of my child, I met with 6 attorneys prior to Michelle. She was the only one who genuinely seemed interested in helping me gain custody of my child. She knew the laws, other attorneys in the case, and the judges we encountered and thoroughly prepared me for what I could expect. Michelle fought for me and I ultimately got shared custody 50/50 of my daughter, exactly what I was seeking. I highly recommend Michelle Sommer as she was an amazing attorney for me in my child custody case, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.

I have used Bayley Law for over twenty years and have always been satisfied with the representation I received. Mark Bayley has a great depth of knowledge in criminal defense and enjoys respect and a good reputation with prosecutors, judges and fellow attorneys. I have found him to be patient, personable and thoughtful. Although empathetic to your situation he is straight forward and provides you with options in understandable everyday terms. Bayley Law and staff are competent in other matters of law besides criminal defense and will always be my first choice for representation. Mark Bayley is honest, fair and capable of navigating the most complex matters of law when needed most. I highly recommend Bayley Law.

I have known and dealt with this attorney for 15 plus years. Of all attorneys I have known he is by far the easiest to talk with, always quietly pleasant, bright, and willing to listen. I found him exceptionally knowledgeable and clever in dealing in real estate matters, and equally astute with accounting, numbers, and tax matters. I highly recommend him in those arenas. I would, in my experience, stay within those areas for his services, and have no hesitation in highly recommending him for same.

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.
