My experience with Mr.Raj Singh is wonderful, he is very well knowledged and mainly he is confident on his cases, and if he gives his word, it means 100% deal done. I highly recommend anyone to choose him for your cases, if you want to solve your problem.

Last year my business partner and I purchased some equipment from an out of state vendor to expand our services. The equipment turned out to be faulty. We had no clue how to seek a proper refund or what course of legal action deemed necessary. We hired Mr. Singh to help us with our demand letters and what route to take legally. His legal mind and swift assistance in our case was not only helpful but rewarded us a full refund for the equipment plus damages. Mr. Singe laid out all of our options in layman"s terms and was very easy to deal with. I hope we don't need an attorney again in the near future, however if so, Mr. Singe has gained our trust and business. The personal touch he gave our case made it relaxing in such a stressful time. A family man who is well beyond his years, thank you Raj.

I was very pleased with Mr. Honse. I was scared, but he was always so positive and upbeat. El Centro is a small town and it helped having an attorney, like Mr. Honse, who was well-known and obviously very respected. He knew just what to do and who to talk to. Two months after the case was over I had a problem with my insurance company. I called Mr. Honse and he was glad to help me and told me there would not be an additional fee. I could not be happier.

I was falsely accused of domestic violence. My girlfriend admitted that she had lied but the police still would not drop the charges. Mr. Honse was very calm and reassuring. He kept saying the District Attorney would not take the case seriously unless I was willing to go to trial and fight. On the day the jury trial was scheduled to start, the Distict Attorney told the court they did not have enough evidence and they dismissed the case. Thank you Mr. Honse. I was ready to give up but you refused to allow me to plead guilty to something I did not do.

The California DVM revoked my son's driver's license for not getting a medical exam as recommended to them by a California Highway Patrol Officer nearly a year a half ago. He was never notified to get a medical exam or that his license was revoked. Last December he was stopped for a stop sign violation. Surprise, my son's license was no good. He gets a stop sign charge (which he pleads guilty) the license he has in hand gets taken and the car is towed to the impound yard. He gets charged with a misdemeanor. My son got his license reinstated. Mr. Harter straightened the legal requirements out and met with with court at each step of the way. No charges were upheld by the court.

Ken Baker is a "down to business" attorney that took charge of my legal matter with the confidence of a true professional. He helped me when I was in a dire situation. I originally contracted the services of another attorney which turned out to be a nightmare and a waste of time and finances. I was in desperate need for someone capable that would not over charge me and Ken Baker answered the call, he went above and beyond. He was able to explain the law in a manner that I could easily understand, but more importantly, he kept me updated through the entire process. After spending (both in time and money with the original attorney) 5 months with my original attorney, Ken Baker was able to start and close my case in a matter of 30 days. Unlike my original attorney, he was always available for advice, updates and requests always returning emails, phone calls, and even text messages. I was very pleased with his services and I definitely recommend him to whomever needs it.

Ms. Cotugno - Martinez is very knowleadgeable in family law. She argued my case in front of the judge with passion and made an impression on myself and some spectators who asked " where is this attorney from? " " she is good, you're lucky to have such a passionate litigator ". I highly recommend her and my child is living a happier life and healthy life thanks to this attorney. If I had to hire another attorney again or recommend an attorney, she would be the one. My family could not be in better hands than with Attorney Angela Zinn Martinez.

I got a speeding ticket recently as I was traveling on I8 headed Eastbound on my way to Arizona. I live in San Diego so this was a major inconvenience. I searched diligently for attorneys in the El Centro area and found Andrew Williams. He was very personable and I appreciated how he took the time to answer all my questions. He went to court 3 times on my behalf since the judge kept continuing the case (the officer wasn’t cooperating with the declaration process). Andrew’s knowledge of general principles as well as subtle details is stellar. He is very organized and approached the case in a systematic way which would catch even the best prosecutor off guard. His overall technique was flawless which led him the win the case! If you need a great attorney, I highly recommend Andrew Williams.

When I went to Childers and Associates I was living a nightmare. I had to resign my dream job in law enforcement, I was facing felony charges, and a potential prison sentence, and I hadn’t done anything wrong. My ex-wife had falsely accused me of domestic violence, she’d promised she ruin my life and now she was attempting to do it. In our first meeting, as soon as Mr. Childers and I began speaking he put me at ease, and unlike some lawyers he was easy to understand, and he took the time to listen to me. I made it clear that I would not plead guilty to anything since I had done nothing wrong, and Mr. Childers agreed he would fight my case until it was dismissed or we won at trial. In court, at our first hearing with witnesses, Mr. Childers was able to cross-examine my ex-wife exposing her lies, it went so well that at the end of the hearing he was able to convince the judge that my case should not be a felony and it was reduced to a misdemeanor, this was a big win but we weren’t done fighting. For some reason, the DA would not budge on my case, so we had take my case to trial. I have never been through anything like this before, it is stressful, but it always made me feel good that Mr. Childers was confident in my innocence and in his ability to convince a jury of it too. My trial was nerve wracking but also so enjoyable watching Mr. Childers skillfully expose lie after lie after lie being told by my ex-wife. He used text messages I had given him and confronted my wife with them after each lie, and with others he used voicemails, taking my ex’s own voice and using it to expose more lies. It seemed like Mr. Childers was running circles around the DA. Every time the DA tried to do something my lawyer was prepared and knocked it down time after time. As I sat through the trial, especially Mr. Childers final argument to the jury, I knew I could not have made a better choice for my lawyer, I knew I was getting my life back. I was right, the jury took less than an hour (45 minutes) to find me not guilty. At the end of the trial I knew that I wasn’t just a case to Mr. Childers but he actually cared, and I’m grateful that he worked so hard to help me. I’m sorry this is such a long review, but so much happened that I don’t know how else explain it. Let me finish by saying, I can say without any doubt that if you need a lawyer, you have to hire the best and there is no question that Mr. Childers and his firm Childers & Associates are the best.

En 10 años que llevo siendo demandada injustamente por el padre de mi hija, sintiendo temor por sus amenazas, al ser yo mexicana y el padre ser americano, en todos estos años y varios abogados contratados, el licenciado Childers es el mejor abogado , realmente estudio y resolvió con ética y humanidad el caso .Gracias! For over 10 years I've been the father of my daughter has been sue me with false declarations, causing me fear of loosing my daughter to him. I've had many lawyers until I came across Childers. Thanks to Mr. Childers we won this battle and I feel much safer. I highly recommend his firm. He really takes time to study your case very carefully, advising you well and finding the missing pieces to solve the puzzle. Thank You!

I gave Ryan Childers and Associates a FIVE star rating for their extensive knowledge of the law, the compassionate demeanor of Mr. Childers and his entire staff, and the great lengths he goes to, putting his all into the cases he takes on. My case is a very rare and complicated legal matter. This fact has not slowed down Mr. Childers or his staff a bit. Mr. Childers and his team thrive in the law field and do an outstanding job with their legal research, filing of proper paperwork, and writing professional responses and petitions. They also strive to understand ever detail of the case. They really go above and beyond for their clients. And when the time comes for trial, Mr. Childers' performance is very impressive. Aside from his witty tactics in court, he also continues to research and look over details during recesses. I'm telling you--Above and Beyond!!

Went to her back in March of 2021 and she wanted a $2,500 retainer fee a couple of days later she called and said that due to the circumstances of the case, she would need another $2,500. She told me it would take about 3 months for my divorce. Today, 12-20-2021, 8 months after she told me it would take about 3 months, I called her office and was told that she no longer works out of that office and was given a new phone number for her. I called her new number and i had to repeat my first and last name to the person who answered the phone about 5 times and was told afterwords that they would get back to me also sounded like either her daughter or some high school kid doing part time work answering the phones. one got back to me and this was approximately 6 hours after i called to find out about my divorce case status. Very unprofessional and over expensive, but even though i have not gotten any updates on my divorce status, I have gotten invoices for services rendered which have been none, except taking my money!!!!!

I hired Scott Tepper for a case filed against me for parental rights/custody and visitation. I interviewed another lawyer who told me I had no chance to get what I wanted. When I went to interview him he said... well is this what you want or are you settling? Let’s fight for what you want, you have a strong case. He is a very knowledgeable experienced attorney that brushed off the other “attorney’s” silly views and attempts at submitting paperwork. He stepped up when he had to, but also knew when to allow the other “attorney” to destroy himself, which he did for the most part. And we won my case and I got everything I wanted. I won’t go to anyone else for legal advice except him. Thank you Scott!!!

Worst Attorney EVER. He will never contact you to give you any updates on your case. Good luck if you hire him. You will have to call 30 times before someone comes back to you with any information. All he cares about is money. Thanks to this Attorney my uncle lost his case because he never told him he had to go to court and neither him or my uncle showed up. Anyone else had the same issue contact me. I guess this is not the first case someone loses for not giving correct information. He is a lazy liar and will NOT FIGHT for your case. Like another review said. He will ONLY agree on everything. I will be getting signatures with proof of who else lost there case thanks to this thief not moving a finger. I actually had to get information on the other parties Attorney to tell ME my uncles attorney didn't fight for anything and that to be honest he was only taking my uncles money. It was an easy case he said because he didn't fight for my uncle. Don't tell me you didn't get my uncles case because I will expose EVERYTHING with proof on social media. Zero communication from you and when my uncle finally got ahold of you you would give him an attitude threatening you would leave the case. Yes of course after my uncle paid you for doing NOTHING.

Mr.Garcia did a great job defending me in court and assisting me in receiving my Restraining Order. The only issue with his services was the time he took to file my court documents. Our last court date was in early December, when I was granted my restraining order, and he did not file it with the court until the first week of February. I know Holidays made things delayed, but he could've filed the documents the same day of our last hearing. His justification was that the court gave him issues filing, which I honestly don't believe. Mr.Garcia also took several days to respond to my emails and calls which made me feel lost and upset. For the amount of money, I paid I believe he could've done a better job.

A few years ago I had a case where she had to represent me against an abuser (don’t wanna go into too much detail) but I had another DA first who moved out of district so at some point, this DA was then part of my case. I never knew when and never heard from her UNTIL the abuser/criminal in my case was having his sentencing date. She agreed to a plea from their side without reaching out to me AT ALL. Very disappointed and already felt very unsupported throughout my case. She then gave a whole speech about how my cases don’t work out for the best and I need to just settle. She was very rude about it and was speaking very passive aggressively towards my mom and I. Then in court on the sentencing day we pointed out some of those things and we again were disappointed in how things went and then she began to get all loud and defensive before accusing my mom of not believing me of the situation and saying she just let things happen. As for that, it was not true. Truly disgusting behavior. I got thrown into this crazy life matter and into this traumatic experience and for her to act the way she did and make me see clearly how unjust the system can be and make me feel that unsupported was really sad. Highly recommend DO NOT hire her if you have that option.

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.
