I was very nervous leading up to our court date but Sylvia made me feel very calm. She was assigned to our case and exceeded our expectations. My husband and I were suing our landlord and we sent Sylvia all the evidence, met with her before the trail to go over everything and she was just amazing! She represented us well, I would 1000% recommend this law firm based on my overall experience with Sylvia Itzhaki. Thank you all!

When I first contacted CG Song Law Firm, I was in a state of uncertainty. I was facing harassment, stalking, and attacks. It was an emotional rollercoaster, to say the very least. But just when I didn’t know what to expect, Sylvia Itzhaki, Esq. was assigned to my case. She took control with remarkable skill and leadership as the brilliant attorney that she is. She remained a consummate professional against even the most hostile of opposition. I am more than satisfied with the outcome of the civil dispute. Thank you to Danny, Ms. Grace Kim, and the rest of the team! I highly recommend CG Song Law Firm, especially my amazing attorney Sylvia Itzhaki!

From start to finish we had an amazing team in searching for our home and David was a huge part of that! Our situation was not an easy one and David stuck by our side through it all offering sound advice, support and a calming attitude. Davids professionalism, knowledge of the law and experience helped us through the minefields and believe me there were plenty. We felt as we were dealing with a friend more than a business colleague, he honestly cared about our situations. Because of David and his extended team we ended up in our dream home! It would never have happened without them, they are all the best in the business, period!

I was fighting a hostile situation with an unfit landlord. Until I met David. Everything turned around for the better. After my experience with him and his firm, I do not hesitate to share that I found David's knowledge, professionalism and tenacity to be at the top of his profession. DAVID = RESULTS. My case had many layers and numerous complications, but he applied his expert knowledge of the law and provided a successful outcome. Watching him in the court room or in deposition was a true form of art. I knew five minutes after our meeting that he would give me 100% and I was right. He treated my case with the personal attention it needed to get the job done. I wanted to take a moment to share my amazing experience with David and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be where I am today! Thank you so much!

I and my family have been dealing with David Wecht for many years. I have employed his services for various real estate dealings and business related issues. He has handled the buying and selling of different properties. He has helped negotiate business leases as well as issues that have evolved. I recommended him to another friend who had him handle his personal divorce and was very comfortable with the way it was resolved. He also aided me in a law suit against a contractor that I dealt with who took my money and attempted to scam us.

Attorney Finkel handled my litigation case quickly and efficiently. What was best is he did not waste a lot of time (or money!) and got the job done with great representation. Very quick response to my phone calls too which is hard to find these days in lawyers.

Savy Grant is smart to some extent, but I must emphaze that she Is too rushy. Her choices in Court are bad. She smiled when she got Probation for a client, but you don't smile when a Judge is doing something that he wasn't going to do in the beginning. She kept Discovery away from me, after repeated requests. I ended up pleading guilty to one charge that I didn't even do. The other two I did though. Communication is minimal. Bad Lawyer.

She will find a way to keep your money , I was selling my property but the sale fell through before going to closing . I asked for a partial refund multiple times for few weeks and kept getting the run around until she finally told me that you get nothing . not to mention it takes forever to get anything accomplished . It was a terrible experience

Savy is awesome. I’ve been a PPE broker since March 2020. I was unable to close transactions. Every time my deals went a2a, I never knew what was happening, and the deal would never close. Something had to change. Another broker group recommended her, and our group decided to use her as well. Instead of submitting our orders to the Seller’s brokers or Seller’s attorney, we now submit our docs to Savy, and she takes care of the rest. She verifies the buyer, works with buyers attorney to revise the as needed. She also works with the buyers banker to verify funds prior to submitting the order to the Sellers attorney. she’s present at every a2a. She knows all the players involved, and she made all the difference! Thank you Savy !!!

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.
