I was in a bit of a tough situation last summer. I was up against a potential OVI charge after being pulled over late at night with a .7 BAC. Being just a few months shy of turning 21, I was more than a little freaked out at the potential damage that this could have on my record and future. I was incredibly fortunate to have Dayle as council in this situation. She was very frank with me from the get-go, not sugar coating anything and being very straightforward with what I was up against. She walked me through exactly what steps I needed to take as well as how the court process would work. Ultimately, my charge was lowered to a reckless operation, and I have very much been back on my feet ever since. Dayle is a kind, smart, and helpful individual and I could not more highly recommend her for her legal services.

Dayle understands the depth of the problem at hand. She has always acted as if she had a personal stake in this matter. I feel like she is looking at our issues from our shoes. She has been able to tell me my legal rights, while tempering me with the truth about what I might/might not get in the courts. We had some surprising and upsetting decisions, but she had the tenacity to keep on fighting until the right outcome happened.

Katrina was extremely professional in handling my client’s estate planning needs. She was thorough and had a very good understanding of the client, their wishes, and their situation to develop an estate plan customized for their situation. She took the time to walk through all of the estate planning documents and explain in layman’s terms each section of each document and how it related to them and their estate plan. I would highly recommend her services to those in need of an estate plan.

Mr. Sinclair represented me when I got charged with a DUI. I did not want to fight the case in court but I did want to get the best result possible when making a plea of no contest. He was able to get me a reduced charge to reckless operation. It will allow me to get the charge expunged in a year. He was good at returning phone calls, and answered all my questions.

I work for the courts so I've seen dozens of attorneys at work. I can say with complete confidence that Mr. Rust is significantly more prepared than anyone I've seen on civil cases. He covered a personal real estate issue for us. He forced the plaintiff to admit insufficient cause for their financial demands. I hope we don't have a future need for representation, but if we do I would choose Mr. Rust again and again.

I was hit by a car coming off an off ramp, a few days after the accident I soon realized that there was a lot of in's and outs to having to file a insurance claim. This is what lead me to looking for a personal injury attorney, after call some of the law firms around town I found Gregory S Young's website and number. I called his office as I had the others before, but this time things seemed different, more of a warm and caring welcoming on the phone where the others had made me feel like just another number. After speaking with one of the lawyers on staff ( who meet with me that day at my house ) I could tell things would be taken care of the right way, this took a lot of stress off of my shoulders, needless to say that in a word they held my hand all the way thru the process answering all my questions quick responses on the phone and a clear picture of what was going on with my case thanks

Only met with him once prior to trial. Had several calls and much more reachable than any other attorney I've hired in the tristate area. Joe was very tentative to the situation and more interested in a fair end result for both parties than hanging anyone out to dry. He was able to get the resolution I wanted for defense with no further legal issues or repercussions for either party. He was recommended to me by a friend and I have since recommended him several times to friends and acquaintances.

After losing all of my appeals I contacted Tiffany Smith in regard of a clemency project. Tiffany took time and patience to Investigate my case. She went on to write a Clemency that rightfully describe every aspect of my situation. As a part of a clemency project it involved numerous attorneys and other women that were incarcerated for killing their abusers. Myself and five others were granted hearings by the parole board. I received a unanimous vote from the parole board leading to The only clemency granting immediate release by Governor Kasich in 2019. This is all due to the hard work and determination of Tiffany Smith whom I love and respect going much further than my attorney but my friend And Family.

I can not speak highly enough of Andrew Kimble as my attorney. He represented pizza delivery drivers with myself (the class representative) in a wage and hour suit. Andrew is passionate about his work and made every effort to stay in continuous contact with me during our case. At the beginning of the process, I did some research online of other similar lawsuits. I found many other lawyers grasp and thoroughness in filings... lacking, compared to Andrew Kimble. I could tell Andrew understood labor law very well and was quite engaged and thorough in his fight for us. I know it seems overboard but this is the man I would hire for any labor law needs.

An unfortunate incident between my neighbors dog and my dogs resulted in 3 injured dogs, huge vet bills, my eviction by a family member, and me with criminal charges on top of all that. "Failing to Maintain a Dangerous dog" which didn't seem too serious at first so, I tried to handle it myself in the early parts of the case. I briefly retained a Public Defender but eventually decided to hire a paid attorney after reading the neighbors statements. Since I hadn't worked with any criminal lawyers for 15 years I sought a referral from a reputable Attorney I know and he referred me to Paul Laufman. During our initial phone conversation Paul and I went over some details of the case and set an appointment. Between our initial phone call and our first meeting Paul did some preliminary research on my charges and when we met he had a good understanding of what was going on and he had some ideas for a defense strategy. He collected some evidence from me and we were set for pre-trial. At pretrial we couldn't come to a favorable resolution so it was set for trial. Paul and I set another meeting for a few weeks later. At our final meeting before trial Paul made sure to explain everything in detail to me and in a way that I could understand. He gave me several possible scenarios and I decided to follow through with a bench trial. Paul made no promises to me but said he was going to look into every possible defense to resolve the case. Well the good news is I was "acquitted" and I am so very glad I stuck to my principals and decided to hire a very capable criminal defense attorney named Paul Laufman. At trial Paul's performance and the outcome were excellent and both ran parallel with his expectations for the case. I have worked with approximately 20 lawyers in various specialties over my lifetime. The services and performance I received from Paul Laufman are in the top 10% of the 20 lawyers I've worked with collectively and the BEST by far among the criminal defense attorneys I have worked with.

A few years ago I found myself facing a contentious divorce. Richard was a relatively new attorney. His warmth, professionalism and attention to detail comforted me. I later learned my estranged wife’s attorney was a seasoned veteran and local prosecutor. I looked Richard in the eye (at our next meeting) asking if he was in over his head? His response was similar to “From what we’ve seen so far I’m confident the opposition isn’t on top of his game”. Sometime later I found myself fighting for my financial life. After intense negotiations I walked away with all my assets, and less than $50.00 in additional court cost. This counselor is by far the finest attorney I’ve ever known!!!

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.
