From the beginning, Rajiv explained the process and timeline, which was very accurate. He is experienced and very good at his job. He went above and beyond to make sure my tenant eviction came through. It was a complex case, and he was very compassionate towards my family. Highly recommend. His assistant is also very pleasant and great to work with.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MR.BART TO ANYONE. MY EXPERIENCE WITH DAVID BART WAS TERRIBLE HE WAS VERY RUDE AND DID NOT CARE ABOUT MY FREEDOM. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU PREPARE TO GO TO JAIL IF HE IS ON YOUR CASE. I EVEN OVER HURD DAVID BART ON THE PHONE DISCUSSING MY CASE DETAILS WITH SOMEONE WHOM I DID NOT KNOW. I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU NOT TO HIRE MR.DAIVD BART AS HE WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, DISRESPECTFUL, UNCARING, RUDE AND MUCH MORE. (MR.BART ALSO DRESSES VERY UNCLEAN AND OVERSIZED FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THAT IS A VERY BAD LOOK ON DEFENDANT TO THE JUDGE.)

Mr. Justvig is a very honest man who will spell out all of your options and "never sugar coat it." Sometimes lawyers want to make decisions for you with what is in the "best interest of the case" or in the "best interest for themselves." My experience with Mr. Justvig was that he was fair and knowledgeable as well as sensitive to my questions and concerns and followed up with me in a timely manner. Plus, with the bad economy, there aren't too many lawyers doing pro-bono and he made a huge difference in my life. Thank you.

I truly dislike having to leave anyone a negative review as I know life happens, but I feel compelled to inform those considering hiring Mr. Gottesman about the challenges we faced with communication and the significant time lost during our specific fraud/breach of contract case. Despite our efforts to reach him over 7-9 months, we missed crucial trial dates, updates during the investigation, the opportunity to speak at the hearing, and more. This setback could potentially jeopardize our ability to file suit or receive any restitution EVER!! It's important to note that our agreement with Mr. Gottesman was contingency-based, and no funds were paid upfront.

He took our money and did NOTHING. He never ever returns calls or responses to emails or letters. I had to proof read his documents because neither him nor his entire staff could do it. Even names in the documents he got wrong. These are legal documents going to a count which for the tiniest error could cost us the case. When we hired him and felt we no longer had to deal with the furstration of trying to deal with the situation on our own. Soon afterwards we then had two problems instead of one. The original situation and dealing with Anthony Mordente. I have the emails and letters where he promises to do better my us but he is also a liar on top of being incompetent and a sorry excuse for a human being. I will be taking my case to the American Bar Association. He should be disbarred. A class action lawsuit should be taken against Anthony Mordente.

This guy is 100% in the wind and MIA. I retained him for a coop litigation and he took 5 weeks to return a simple phone call. He is also rude to boot, claiming he was on vacation for 5 weeks and me calling him was annoying. Stay away from this guy, I fired him after 2 months.

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.
