Michael Miller was referred to me by a friend when I had an accident with injuries. He proved to be very thorough, dedicated and compassionate with all that I was going through. Michael and his staff were very caring, knowledgeable and easy to understand. Even when everything was shutdown due to Covid, he kept in touch and checked on me frequently. He helped me to stay focused and positive. I hope I never need his services again, but if I do, I will definitely call him!

I had quite a few driving-related tickets and was facing potentially thousands of dollars in fines in addition to points on my license (which would have been even more expensive). I chose Jonathan because of all the reviews that said he was an effective lawyer who was also sincere and patient with his clients, and the reviews were spot on. He was in constant communication with me and made me feel comfortable throughout the process of getting all of the tickets resolved. Lawyers are obviously extremely busy and will often try to push you off the phone or cut the conversation short because they have other things to do. I had numerous questions, mainly because I'd never gone through anything like this before, and he was incredibly patient with me. He gave me thorough, detailed answers to all of my questions, and he was extremely polite as well. As for his efficacy as a lawyer, I ended up having my fines reduced significantly and I ended up with 0 points on my license. Honestly, I didn't know lawyers like Jonathan still existed. I hope I never have to, but if I did, I would work with Jonathan again in a heartbeat.

I highly recommend this firm. They are efficient, intelligent and on their game. I made the mistake of taking my case to a "big law firm" and they almost lost the case. Thank god I switched to Clarke and Fellows.

I hired this firm to represent me In my personal injury case after I interviewed a few attorneys. The reason I went with Mr. Clarke is because I did not feel rushed and he answered all of my questions. He was also extremely intelligent and well spoken. I also liked that he did not pressure me to sign with his firm. He told me to take some time to look over the retainer and to sign it at my convenience. Throughout my case he was extremely compassionate and he always either took my call or called me back by the end of the day. I pleasantly surprised at how he conducted depositions because he was a warrior. I do not think I would have gotten the substantial award I got had it not been for him. He is a true lawyer. I will recommend him to everyone I know.

When I was referred to Grey & Grey, I had gotten hurt on the job and had elbow surgery. The attorneys and staff were so helpful in getting me the benefits I needed. A few years after that I became very sick and was in hardship as I was unable to work. I called Grey & Grey and they did an outstanding job helping my family. The attorneys, as well as the staff have a kind professional attitude, full of compassion and concern. We found them to be complete professionals in the handling of both our Workers' Compensation claims and our Social Security claim. They kept us informed on every aspect of the claim from start to finish. It was incredible how fast they worked and in a few short months I was approved for Social Security Disability. We would definitely refer family and friends to their firm.

Excellent, Knowledgable, Informative and Timely attorney. Mr. Goldman has helped me in various legal areas including Corporation setup, Tax Assistance and Successfull Representation, Estate planning, as well as Competant Advice on numerous other legal areas. I started using Mr. Goldman in 1985 and have most recently (01-09) forwarded a complex legal assignment to him, he was on it right away and had a preliminary result within one week (unheard of). He also refused any up-front moniesfor expenses (trustworthy). There has Never been any problem whatsoever and this incudes the factthat he is Honest and his fee is extremely reasonable. He is Not your ordinary greedy self centered hack with a license to practice. All in all, I would Most Highley recomend Mr. Goldman.

I hired Ms. Fellows to help me with my family estate plan. The experience from start to finish was impeccable. We did not feel rushed and we were even given an explanation of our estate plan on a flat screen television. We were shown diagrams of different scenarios for different types of trusts. What I really liked, is that we came in for what is called a "design meeting" and we were able to read through the trust with Mrs. Fellows so we actually understood it. I ended up choosing a trust that worked for my family at a very reasonable rate. I liked that I was not offered a pitch of bundles packages and yearly trust checks that my friends told me about. We have the right plan at the right price. Thank you again!

I hired Mrs. Fellows and her firm to handle my personal injury claim. I heard horror stories about other personal injury attorneys, but I was very pleasantly suprised at how this firm and handled my case. Whenever I had a question, they would always talk to me immediately or call me back within an hour. I was very nervous about my deposition, and this firm helped me get through it. They did not take any nonsense from insurance company lawyers. The claim settled soon after depositions. I was unsure with what to do with the award. I asked this firm for a recomendandation about an attorney that could help me with my finances now that I had this award. I was unaware that this firm also did Trust & Estates. They invited me to their office to discuss what I should do with my award to save on taxes and other concerns. The first meeting we discussed my concerns. They then designed my estate plan and went over it with me and my wife (who was also at the meeting) and then I came into sign it and take my copy home. With all the knowledge they imparted on me I can actually read and understand my estate plan! Mrs. Fellows and her partner gave me a lot of insight. They were patient and answered every question. Everytime I asked a question they gave me a direct answer. They even used diagrams on a flat screen television to explain my estate plan. I would highly recommend this attorney and this firm. They are extremely intelligent and professional.

Gary was retained to review and advise me on my severance agreement. He quickly reviewed the long and involved agreement and patiently walked me through each of the sections outlining the areas where I should negotiate with my former employer. Gary identified specific issues where I needed to take steps to better protect my interests and made sure that I understood all current and future exposures. Gary's deep knowledge of the law and sage advice helped me to negotiate the needed changes to the agreement and I was able confidently move forward. I would absolutely retain Gary for future work and recommend him to others. He is a skillful and knowledgeable attorney with a great client service mindset.

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.
