We first hired Jack because he seemed very competent to represent us in Court. It was a difficult case and we were feeling very vulnerable. As time went on, we were even happier that we chose him because not only he will be your lawyer, he will HONESTLY do what's best for you. He will give you many advices (some you might not wanna hear but he will say it anyway because it's necessary) and he will always make sure you're up to date with everything going on and the options you have. He honestly cared about us and our situation. He CARES. Jack became more than a lawyer, we consider him our friend. My husband and I highly recommend him. He knows what he is doing and if you let him do his job, you'll realize his choices and the way he handles your case are much better than what you had in mind. Not only he helped us with this court case, whenever we had a legal question related to anything else, he quickly got back to us and was always very helpful and informative. So if you are looking for a SMART, COMPETENT, CARING lawyer, Jack is definitely your man and I promise you that you will not regret. Thank you Jack for everything you have done for my family and I. Thank you for fighting with us! We couldn't have won without you!

Neil Lebowitz came to the rescue. My attorney I was using went MIA not returning my phone calls or emails. I called Neil to ask for his opinion and advice. No hesitation he guided me. The work that Neil Lebowitz put into my real estate transaction after taking it on from another was outstanding!

Bob Hafner is simply an outstanding attorney if you need assistance with real estate transactions, wills, healthcare proxy’s, and legal help with your business/corporation. Bob Hafner has represented my wife and myself in 3 different real estate transactions. Recently We sold our primary home and purchased another primary home locally. He was outstanding in those two transactions. He responded to emails and phone calls promptly, the wife and I were reassured knowing we were well represented. Bob has also helped me purchase a 6 family property over 3 years ago and had the exact same experience. The wife and I have been so pleased with Bob that we also used his services for our wills and healthcare proxy’s, and he assisted us with a restaurant we used to own for our legal needs. You cannot ask for a more honest, ethical, and caring attorney in this area.

I recently reached out the this law firm to cover a lawsuit case where a local gas station was the cause of severe damage to my BMW. Every single last detail is in my favor and I even have Corporate Sunoco on my side as I'm not the only one who reported a problem with the gas. The person I spoke to on the phone was extremely helpful and seems sure that the attorneys she worked for would want to take something like this on. Needless to say it wasn't 24 hours before I got an email stating that they were not willing to take my case without even a phone call or a conversation about any details to the case whatsoever, what documentation I have, what investigations I launched into the gas station...nothing.

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.
