I cannot recommend Miguel Garcia highly enough! From start to finish, he demonstrated authentic care about my case and his incredible expertise, dedication, and attention to detail was evident from our very first meeting. He took the time to understand every aspect of my case and provided clear, insightful guidance every step of the way. He answered every question I had, and his calm, confident demeanor gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond, Miguel is the one to go to. Thank you again Miguel.

She did a good job with my immigration paperwork but to see her might take you up to 2 months and not accomodating at all. Slow to respond to emails and you will never find her over the phone to even answer a question.

I had to call him several times to set-up an initial meeting. He was a no show and had to reschedule. He was supposed to send me a retainer but couldn't even do that. I tried to contact him but has been MIA since.

Mr. Del Rio is the best lawyer ever. He represented me twice, once for not completely stopping at the stop sign and he got the points down to zero and all I had to do was pay the fine. The second time I was going 20 miles overs the speed limit and once again Mr. Del Rio worked his magic and and got my points reduced to NOTHING and I just paid the fine... I would recommend him to everyone.

Worst attorney ever you will never get any information from him. He will demand money but he will never deliver. He will miss court dates. He will never inform you that he missed the court date. You will get one-sided judgment as I got . he will tell you that it was the judge decide to do it on his own since most of the people are not lawyers or have much knowledge of law. He will keep you under wraps. if you ask anybody at his office, what’s going on nobody knows anything there is a new secretary every week. That means nobody knows what’s going on. You will never get a hold of this guy. He will never tell you what’s going on in your case. I promise you in your case there is gonna be a point when you gonna start wondering is this guy working for you or for the opposite party?

He failed to represent my father. We paid the retainer fee for him to specifically represent my father on a violation of probation case in which all probation time was served. The only thing that he did wrong was leave the country but he was unaware that he was still on probation and had to notify the probation officer. My father has memory deficit, all probation conditions were met, and the three years of probation was served. Mr. Campagna pushed back the date for my father to see Judge Moniyhan for 20 days after being held so he can gather "facts" and then saw my father 2 weeks after we hired him and the day before seeing the judge he failed to prepare my father for what to expect the judge to say and how to respond. The day that my father went before Judge Moniyhan Mr. Campagna did not represent him at all. My father spoke for himself and was very nervous and did not know what to say and did not respond well to the Judge's response. When Judge Moniyhan asked Attny Campagna if he wanted to say anything, he stated, "No and thank you" after Judge Moniyhan gave a court date of May 16th another 20 days for my father to await sentencing. When we asked Attorney Campagna why he chose not to say anything or to present termination of probation or reinstate probation or why he didn't explain to the judge that my father was nervous, he state that my father already messed himself up by saying too much. We paid him for nothing and wasted our money. He seems to not be a compassionate attorney that would fight for his clients. We wasted money on him when he could have received a public defender and saw the judge much sooner and perhaps be home with his family right now.

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.
