My husband and I attended an information meeting sponsored by Attorney Gill’s group, and we were so impressed with the clarity with which he explained the benefit of a family trust. Since that time we have set down with Mr. Gill and created a trust which we think organizes and protects our assets. We very much want our family to understand this process, and Mr. Gill has been kind enough to share the same presentation about trusts with our son, and help him understand the process. It is so very comforting to have provided each of our children with Attorney Gill’s contact information and to know he has a copy of all our powers of attorney (health, etc.) If ever we should experience a medical emergency, each of our children carries one contact card—Attorney Gill’s. We know that Gill’s office would fax to anyplace in the world, papers that are pertinent to our care, and they have established a relationship with our children. His materials have also helped us organize contact information regarding our property, insurance, etc, and provided a way we can communicate to our children about our end-of-life wishes in as non-emotional way as possible. Meanwhile, we are blessed to be active and healthy at 70+, and we intend to stop by the office often to keep our records up to date and to be responsible with the resources the good Lord has provided.

She was very professional, and I always felt that she had my best interests at heart. Her billed time was very fair and efficient, and I never felt like she was just interested in running up my bill. Her suggestions for resolution of our settlement agreement were excellent and thorough. I consider myself lucky to have found her to represent me.

Leaving St. Thomas More Church in Chapel Hill I was unaware of the posted speed. I received a citation, was to appear in court two months later. I was unable to attend, I live Cape Cod Massachusetts. The citation caught up to me two years later, on the renewal of my Massachusetts driving license... I contacted Attorney Goldston. He returned my email promptly and reassured me not to worry. Not only did he reduce my speeding violation, he stop my suspension. Thank you Attorney Goldston for your professionalism.

Note that I am experienced in hiring lawyers for personal, business, and real estate dealings. I also have two immediate family members that are lawyers in Atlanta. Mr Goldston has my highest possible praise for the way in which he: (1) Handled my case. (2): Conducts the business affairs of his law office. (3): Responsiveness of his communications with me as his client. I will positively hire Mr Goldston in the future if I have the need for an attorney in Durham.

I can't remember how many lawyer jokes I've heard in my life, but I honestly don't believe any of them can apply to Ms. Farrin. What sets Bailey apart is her genuine concern for her clients well-being. I have consulted with Ms. Farrin several times about very serious automobile matters. Her knowledge of the applicable ordinances, and the best way to move forward were clearly evident. What was equally impressive was her concern about how I felt during the process. She really eased my anxiety about the situation and made me feel that she cared about how the entire experience could be managed.

We had a lengthy conversation about the case and, while waiting for him to conduct other business, I had a chance to observe the goings on in court. I hired Mark and he immediately got to work, even working into the night (the 1:30 am text let me know). The outcome achieved in court was, I believe, the best possible. I will recommend Mark to friends, and I will retain his services if needed in future.

I first retained Mark Simeon 15 years ago, referred by my auntie. He handles all the traffic tickets for my whole family. We all knew he was an excellent lawyer, but after what he just accomplished for my fiancé, I must say he's the absolute BEST!! Long ago, some people in town started calling him "Houdini" because he can make license suspensions disappear off drivers' records. Now I see why -- my finance's license was suspended PERMANENTLY, several time over, and now, all the PERMs are gone! It took some time, and honestly, more money than we can afford, but it was so, so worth it. Simeon has a system, and it works. I hear he recently started a nonprofit law firm for NC driver license restoration so that he can help people who can't afford him. Let's hope they get the grants and donations they need to stay afloat because it's too many people out here driving on revoked licenses because they just don't have the money for lawyers like him. Anyway, Mark Simeon gets my top vote. I'd give him ten stars if I could!

Jack Rockers was a godsend. My husband and I initially contacted two other attorneys to help us navigate the process involved in changing my husband’s immigration status from TN to green card, and we were feeling demoralized by our experiences. The first attorney was nonresponsive; the second was ill informed and exploitative. Soon after we had consulted the second attorney, an acquaintance of mine recommended Jack. He was the perfect fit for us: friendly and accessible, professional and easygoing. His fee was reasonable, and being able to rely on him in helping us prepare and submit our application eased the stress and sense of uncertainty that my husband and I were feeling. We placed our trust in Jack, and he did not disappoint. Our initial meeting with him was on May 22, our application was finalized and mailed by June 12, and my husband was granted his green card on September 10. With each development along the way, the support staff at Hatch Law Office kept in prompt and constant touch. Moreover, Jack was honest with me when I asked if he thought my husband and I needed him to accompany us to our interview at the local USCIS office. He said that because our case was straightforward and we were so well organized and informed, he did not believe we needed to spend the extra money to have him accompany us. And he was right. I appreciate Jack’s integrity, and I strongly recommend him as an immigration attorney.

She organized our Estate Wills, Living Wills, Financial POA's, Health POA's, Trust Fund, Medical Disability, Guardianship Plans (if needed), etc. The entire WLG team follows up with our questions, concerns, and provides legal advice and suggestions beyond our goals. We have the utmost respect for the whole WLG team. They are sensitive to our needs, compassionate, and demonstrate their knowledge to the highest degree. I had already learned that attorneys having experience with special medical and medicaid needs children are very rare. WLG's attributes are rare, too! We highly recommend the WLG team without any hesitation. Their services extend beyond the walls of their office. They are involved in community activities and speeches due to their sincere desire to help others. Five Star Plus Rating!!!

Where do I begin? Well first and foremost I didn't know anyone in NC let alone legally to represent me. I came across Frazier and Griffin. Everyone from the staff or paralegals were very nice caring and professional. I chose them because I can tell they went above and behind to try to help me even before I retained them. I can't say beyond words how professional efficient and compassionate this law firm is. I've never been in serious trouble like this and not only did he help me but the outcome that Mr Griffin was able to get helped me gain control back of my life and be free from all the allegations and charges I was facing. If you are ever in serious trouble whether criminal and child custody matters. Please call this law form today and trust my recommendation to Mr. Griffin YOU WILL be taken care of, aware of all your case information updates and he will look out for your best interest and use his expertise as an attorney to make sure you get justice.

I contacted Mr Griffin about old driving charges that were preventing me from obtaining licenses in another state as I no longer live in NC. He handled my case in a matter of days and I had a license by the next week. He saved me so much time and & from having to come back to NC & miss work etc. He was in constant contact with me through the whole process.

I can't sing enough praises about this kind and knowledgeable man !! My sister is the executor of my mothers estate. I was already having issues with her taking advantage of her position. I was pretty disappointed that she would even do this ... but before I called out the Marines, Doug went thru some options that he wanted me to be aware of. Clear headed thinking is always the best.

Mr.Koenig was knowledgeable and professional as we reviewed policies on home ownership rights and problems. The need to possibly change or transfer the deed, the pros and cons associated with any change; the other possible options: refinancing or sale of the home. He provided specific facts and costs of each options, facts of NC law relative to each option, and positive and negative financial and/or personal consequences related to each of those options. We reviewed local housing levels of care options for seniors, from rentals to assisted living. Lastly we reviewed the NC law on tenancy; the right to rent out a room to either stranger or family; when and how one might evict if necessary. Mr. Koenig provided dates of upcoming appropriate information sessions. He explained a remedy to an incomplete Will and Power of Attorney. I surely will recommend him to others and will return to use his services as needed.

Beyond this, he offered suggestions that we had considered and were glad to accept to ease future estate settlement. He also made appropriate adjustments in our POA's and Directive.

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.
