Mr. Neuman was instrumental in getting myself and others a settlement in a fraud case, hard working, willing to do conference calls to explain everything to all involved. He is still working on some of the claims. Confident, very busy but worth his fee, he got for us what others would not touch. Grateful to have found him. Would highly recomend him.

Working with Gladys was an absolute relief during a very difficult period in my life. From the start, she was highly responsive, always quick to address my concerns and answer any questions I had, no matter how small. Her professionalism and dedication to my case gave me a sense of confidence and reassurance throughout the entire legal process. Her communication was always clear and consistent, making sure I understood every step. The results she achieved were nothing short of excellent, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better legal representative. I am beyond grateful to have had Gladys in my corner. If you’re looking for someone who is not only knowledgeable but also truly cares about their clients, look no further. Highly recommended.

Harry Katz, and Victoria alike are both incredible people,and outstanding lawyers. Harry has been recommended to me from many people over the years, therefore when the time came for me to need an attorney, I turned to Harry. Harry is an up front type of guy, and will not waste your time or his, if the case is not something worth fighting for. He is currently representing me in a difficult case, and I KNOW I'm my heart that both him and Victoria have got it all under control. I HIGHLY recommend these two incredible, caring attorneys to anyone who needs perfect representation.

John Messer is my guardian angel! what an amazing person, and lawyer. John is the only reason I am in my home today: he worked tiressly I mean put in hour and hours of unpaid work to make sure we triumphed in my real estate purchase. I was going through a contentious divorce, needed to find a new place to live, borrowed money from my parents and found the building that was perfect for me. However first I was using this really poor real estate attorney recommended by the mortgaging bank and I almost lost the deal at the last hour! I implored John who had been working with the realtor, to help me please! I was going through real trauma already due to the divorce and there were endless problems trying to get me a mortgage and sell the deal with the crazy buyer and his old time crochety lawyer. John stepping in a took over. He was ALWAYS available phone and ALWAYS returned my phonecalls: if not him than someone in his office: in fact I got to know them there, and remarked on this once and they said, "well, you're family now! and that is exactly how I felt, treated like family. I felt that John took a personal interest in solving my situation and he brought his experience in banking to bear in solving my problem and seemed to know the right people and methods to use to push things through. John: THANK YOU!

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.
