In late November last year I was driving my motorcycle to work on my daily commute every morning. Unfortunately on the way an older woman pulled out in front of me in the middle of the street and I was unable to stop or swerve around her in time. I collided with her vehicle and flew over it, causing three herniations in three separate spots in my spine. Found out afterwards that she had a stop sign, I had the right of way. Immediately, I contacted Peter Briskin. Who within a day, had me set up with physical therapy, pain treatment, and a primary physician to monitor my spine health. The entire case process was rather quick, simple and effective. Super knowledgeable, always very nice and quick to answer. Not only is my back feeling much better, but I was properly financially compensated for the back problems I will always have now. All my thanks and deepest respects to Mr. Briskin.

Mr. Mondello handled a matter in his area of expertise, “Crimmigration” and Post-Conviction Relief, and he and his staff were excellent! The possession of marijuana and guilty plea have been vacated, and the immigration issues have resolved. As a lawyer myself, I can really recognize the excellent job attorney Ron Mondello did for us, and I will continue to recognize him in the highest possible terms!

Ron was a true expert in being able to "un-do" a multitude of my legal missteps from over 20 years ago! He removed convictions and vacated other pleas that were not in my best interest. Moreover, he was expedient in what he did. Because immigration cases are a time-sensitive. My family and I could not be happier with the representation that Mr. Mondello provided! He was , to coin a phrase, worth every dollar. My immigration matter was serious, non-violent, but serious and he made it all go away.

Ron was asked to represent a family member of mine. He proceeded to go above and beyond all expectations. The final result was a ruling in our favor. Will never consider another attorney in the future.

I first came to know Mustafa Cetin through a referral from trusted community members. My appointment was consultation for immigration options for my 80+ year old aunt. Mustafa immediately gave us time, listened carefully understanding the circumstances & advised us accordingly. We also then hired Mustafa to gain clarity with Covid 19 visa travel for her. Mustafa was patient, informative & very helpful with assisting us figure out option for her & then guiding us in filing required application in a timely & correct manner. Would highly recommend Mustafa Cetin to others.

I highly recommend Marc Berman as a personal injury lawyer. After incurring large medical bills from an injury, I kept getting stonewalled by the responsible party. I reached out to Mr Berman frustrated. He advised me on the steps to take, explained my options in understandable language and handled all communications on my behalf. He was always available for questions and successfully brought my case to an end. Mr Berman clearly excels at what he does. I only wish I had reached out to him sooner.

Mr. Makarov represented me on 4 related traffic violations that had serious implications including potential incarceration and steep fines in NJ. Mr. Makarov calmed me down and helped me understand my rights and the potential outcomes. He helped me post bail and handled all interactions with the prosecutor and judge in multiple court proceedings. He was able to build a solid defense and reasonable doubt in order to have the charges negotiated down with the prosecutor. I am really grateful. He took a hands on attentive interest in my case which made all the difference as the circumstances of the case were key in this case. We need more lawyers like Mr. Makarov who will go to war for their clients and are truly able to empathize!

I received a 5-point speeding ticket and was in jeopardy of losing my license. Not only did Michael help me avoid a license suspension, but he also managed to reduce the violation to 2 points. Michael handled the entire process in a professional matter. He explained my options, and was realistic about what I could expect. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and made me feel at ease. I was pleasantly surprised when Michael informed me of the deal reached with the prosecutor. I highly recommend Michael to anyone in need of a conscientious attorney.

Josh represented our family in a real estate purchase. Unfortunately the deal turned sour when the sellers refused to honor the agreement. I was concerned that josh wouldn't be able or willing to help us because much of the transaction was handled by his paralegal. But when things went bad he stepped in and really made us feel like we were his only client. He was strong he was compassionate and he had our backs. Most of all, he was available to talk through a very scary ordeal. We now have an attorney for life.

I generally do not write reviews but I am compelled to write about my experience with this law firm. It is so hard to put in words what the Elphant Rickett Law Firm has done for me and my precious daughter.  Esq. Rickett gave me back a sense of relief, peace and most of all hope. For too long my life seemed to be in shambles. Darkness and despair hovered over and almost took a grip on me. After two and a half years of no movement from my previous lawyer, Esq. Rickett agreed to take my case and immediately produced results. She fought for me as if we were family.  Her energy, heart and legal knowledge was what I had been praying for.  Esq. Rickett and Ms. Anne Graney, her paralegal, were not only efficient and comprehensive at producing required legal documentation, they led with kindness, compassion and patience.   It was a long and painful divorce process for me because of my ex-husband's many covert tactics.  Nevertheless, Esq. Rickett never wavered in her confidence that she would get a fair outcome within the laws for me. I believe the work that they do daily is healing and extraordinary.  I am so grateful to this firm and my good friend for recommending Esq. Rickett. Please do not look further if you feel taken advantage by your spouse and a system dedicated to preserving the rights of others who do not contribute to society.

If you want a great lawyer that will fight for you, you have found her! I cannot express how amazing Rosa and her team were while going through my divorce. I was dealing with a Narcissist and Rosa knew exactly how to handle that type of personality. Rosa is a no nonsense professional with years of experience. This is the hardest thing I have ever been through in my life. When I felt overwhelmed she calmly walked me through every step of this process with empathy and understanding. Rosa has a way of reassuring you that everything is going to be ok. She is always available to talk, gives you great advice and cares about what you are going through. This is the person that you want on your side. I am so thankful for everything she did for me in this emotional and difficult time. SHE IS AMAZING!

I recently concluded a 2.5-year-long divorce process, and I must say that Laura and her team were instrumental in helping me navigate through what was a very challenging time. The professionalism and dedication shown by Laura were exceptional. She provided clear guidance and was always available to address my concerns, making sure I understood every step of the process. Her staff was equally supportive, always responsive and willing to go the extra mile to ensure I felt supported. Yes, the legal fees were significant, and it was financially challenging for me, but I understand that maintaining a top-tier law firm requires resources. A firm that invests in its staff and infrastructure can provide the excellent service I received, and that’s exactly what Laura offers. While the costs were high, I believe it was the price I had to pay to regain my life and move forward with my children. If you are looking for a law firm that delivers quality service with professionalism and care, I highly recommend November & Nunnink LLC.

Horrible lawyer my father past away in 2021 and he was the lawyer handling the estate. There was family issue with the administrator. Mr. Miller made accusations that were false.I told him I can email proof on situations that he accused he didn’t know nothing about but did. He took more money out of my half for property that was sold. I had to call him out on that. He also has money from the estate that have not been distributed so call the administrator wife get it before the only living heir. Unfortunately the administrator passed away. I called him to have him release the bond so I can take over my father estate as stated by the courts. He stated that it will cost money to handle the estate. I am the only living heir. I have emailed him and left messages with his staff no return call yet. I reported him hopefully I finally can get justice for me and my family

I used Catherine for a bankruptcy case. She failed to submit the proper paperwork on time, which led to the proceedings to initially be dismissed. She was NOT supposed to include my vehicles in the bankruptcy, but again failed to file the proper documents which caused themto be included. Also failed to advise of the payments due to the trustee which caused more problems.

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.
