Recommendation for Mr. Mark as an Exceptional Family Lawyer I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction and gratitude for the exceptional legal services provided by Mr. Mark in handling my recent divorce case. It was truly a pleasure to do business with Mr. Mark, and I am delighted that he represented me throughout the entire process. His depth of knowledge and expertise in family law were evident from the outset, and he consistently provided me with invaluable legal advice that guided me through this challenging time. One of the things that stood out to me about Mr. Mark's approach was his ability to cut through the complexities of the case and get straight to the heart of the matter. He was always honest and transparent, never hesitating to tell me whether it was worth fighting for certain aspects or not. Furthermore, I was impressed by the clarity and transparency of Mr. Mark's billing statements. Each statement provided a detailed breakdown of the services rendered, making it easy for me to understand and track the costs involved. Based on my personal experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Mark as a family lawyer to anyone in need of expert legal representation in a divorce case. I have no doubt that his professionalism, integrity, and dedication to his clients will ensure the best possible outcome for anyone facing similar circumstances. Once again, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mr. Mark for his outstanding service and support throughout this process.

I was referred to Mark by an attorney on a related matter as a trusted partner to discuss my concerns and current situation. Before I was able to reach out to his office, he called me directly and asked questions to assess the landscape and provide a recommendation on how to proceed. He was unusually patient and thorough in his analysis, both speaking in simplified, non-Legalese terms without being reductive; realistic and objective without salesmanship. As a working professional, I deeply appreciated his 360° approach. He additionally, without request, gave me thoughtful pointers that were directed toward not only how to position myself for a positive outcome, but in the best interests of creating a productive plan forward for myself and my family. While it currently remains as a consult, he will be the attorney I will call when it's time.

Mr. Dennis Hershewe made a big difference in my life with his professionalism in handling my case. Thank you Dennis for taking my case. It made a difference in my life when I was serious down and made homeless. His staff always kept me informed on my case and provided information needed to proceed through my case in a timely manner. His staff set me up with great doctors who always treated me with the utmost high quality in care. Mr. Hershewe is a tough, no nonsense attorney who didn't let big insurance companies lawyers dominate the case. He is highly respected by his peers in his field. It's been over 7 years since settling my case. I've had plenty of time to reflect upon my experience of going through this traumatic experience that I went through. I highly recommend this law firm. They made a difference in my life. Thank you very much Michael & Cilla Hughes

Mr. Hershewe is a very good attorney. He is very knowledgeable and the best part, he is HONEST. He doesn't get back to us as much as we'd like but he does follow up with us via mail every time there is an update, change or if he has scheduled something regarding my case. He is extremely aggressive and that is what one would love to see in an attorney. I'd recommend him to anyone.

I spoke with Ms McClane and, while she wasn't the attorney I needed, she hung on a call for 5 minutes with me and explained how to get a proper referral through the California bar. So this is a caring person. She didn't ask for a dime and I would have gladly paid $100 or more for the advice. By the way her advice worked out great. So thank you for paying it forward.

I met Christine McClane after having gone through 2 divorce attorneys who not only cost me a lot of money, but left me disillusioned with the entire process. Christine came across as knowledgeable, down to earth, hands on, and most importantly caring and comforting. Unlike my previous attorneys, she understood my concerns about having an amicable divorce through mediation. She was straight forward, always reachable & communicative with both of us. I am grateful & happy to recommend her services.

It has taken me some time to figure out what to write in regards to Mr Spear because no matter what I say its going to be an understatement of how amazing of an attorney he is. He joined my very difficult and dragged out dissolution case later on but picked up on the essence of the case, the issues and both parties strategies immediately and he started moving all matters forward. Mr Spear is fair, brutally honest, efficient, caring, very respectful and will represent his clients with integrity. He is very experienced and knew exactly how to proceed with the issues we had, he puts his clients first and will always ensure his clients are in good standing with the opposite party and the court. I can't rave enough about Mr Spear, I have spent more than 2 years fighting a lengthy complex battle against my ex husband and I am finally able to breathe knowing Mr Spear is handling my case. Best dissolution attorney out there.

Esther represented me in the formation and signing of my pre-marital agreement. Throughout the process, she was extremely prompt, thoughtful, and professional. She followed up with me regularly when things were stalling with my fiancé's counsel. She explained the ins-and-outs of our agreement to me patiently and confirmed with me multiple times to make sure I understood what I was signing. She was timely in every response. If my fiancé's lawyer had been even half as conscientious as Esther, the process would have been much quicker. I highly recommend her.

Esther represented me on visitation Modification Hearing order. She took my case about two weeks before the hearing and worked with me to get the supplemental declaration that needed to be prepared and submitted before the hearing. With only two weeks to prepare she was amazingly over prepared, confident and aggressive and did a great job. She had things finished well before the deadline and made it, so I didn't have anything to worry about. I was really impressed. She was available immediately by phone and email she never hesitated to give 100%. Esther was good at listening to me and knowing what to say to get the judge to see what was really going on. she was genuinely concerned about what was in my child's best interest and was very fair. She explained step by step the paperwork and forms to make sure I was comfortable and confident in what I was saying and filling. Family court issues can be highly emotional and stressful, but I felt totally secure during my case. Esther produced the exact results that I required, skillfully and efficiently. Esther is a very professional attorney yet has a warm and approachable demeanor. She remained well-composed, professionally aggressive, consistently on task, and always with a clear focus. She is very passionate about what she does, and it really sets her apart because she really connects with her clients! She handled my case with exemplary professionalism and helped me get through a very emotional and difficult time in my life. She was never tardy in responding to any questions I might've had, she always replied in a timely manner and always had an answer for whatever question I had. She made me feel like I could trust her and had my child's best interest. I also learned from her, how to handle the issues with knowledge and wisdom. The court sided in my favor! I could not be more satisfied with the intelligence, professionalism, and sheer determination of Esther Bitar. I am very happy to offer my highest recommendation to Mrs. Bitar. Thank you!

I was hit by an uninsured motorist. Fortunately I carry uninsured motorist coverage. I suffered an injury that required treatment. I went back and forth with my insurance company for a fair settlement to now avail. I reached out to Mr. Lieber, who contacted my insurance company on my behalf. After a couple of phone calls by Mr. Lieber, I received a payout hire than what I was asking for. Mr. Lieber was very professional, kept me well informed, and got a quick resolution where I had tried for a month before. I have highly recommended Mr. Lieber to family and friends since.

My young daughter was mistreated at a local hospital and she asked for my help in locating an attorney to represent her in an alleged malpractice lawsuit again the hospital and its two surgeons. After a lot of searching, we opted to retain Mr. Borison who appeared to be a very competent attorney. He agreed to take my daughter's case, and she formally retained his services. He appeared to be very professional and compassionate about my daughter's mistreatment. After gathering the medical reports and other pertinent facts, he issued a professionally written demand letter to the hospital and doctors and told us that he would have to wait for their response. After several months of no activity, he called my daughter and told her that he did not realize that CA had a two year statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice action in the Superior Court. Further, he told her that because of not filing the action timely, that she would not be legally able to pursue further recourse against the hospital or the two surgeons. He offered no compensation or other relief to my daughter, other than to say he was sorry. I wrote Mr. Borison asking him to consider compensating her for his oversight. He never responded. We are consulting with other attorneys concerning other options now to get my daughter the compensation she so deserves for almost losing her life (according to her family doctor) at the hands of the hospital and doctors. Not understanding the statute of limitations appears to be a serious oversight. I am a licensed (by the United States Treasury) enrolled agent representing clients before tax agencies nationally and internationally. Being intimately familiar with statutes of limitation are an integral aspect of my profession. It was reasonable for my daughter and I to expect the same of Mr. Borison. Unfortunately, we were wrong in believing this. My daughter and I have spoken with other attorneys who have confirmed the statute of limitations, and affirmed that my daughter has no legal grounds to pursue recourse against the hospital or the doctors.

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.
