Lisa was incompetent in handling my case. She let the defense walk all over her and barely said a word in my defense. Not only that, she was difficult and rude to work with. I would never recommend her to anyone else. Beware and do not be fooled by the other reviews.

I had spent 6 solid years in family court over child custody and related issues. I had used prior respected legal counsel. I used my life savings being in court constantly instead of working to provide real solutions to end all legal matters that were in the best interest of our child and to provide a final Order that both me and my ex-spouse could live with and begin to co-parent. Lisa Mobley quickly, respectfully and affordably helped to settle all legal matters out of court. This was a huge task because I sought her legal counsel in the middle of a custody battle. For years much of the focus had not been in our child’s best interest. She provided real solutions and worked to settle all matters outside of court which saved all parties money and emotional strain on both the child, us as parents and those that love us. Lisa’s years of experience as a family court attorney, a Guardian Ad Litem and a prior social worker brought wisdom and final closure to the many years of being in court and constant turmoil. She provided resources and guidance to be able to now successfully co-parent and bring peace and healing to our families. Lisa and her legal team provided wise solutions and resources to help us heal. Me and my ex–spouse can now focus our time, talents and resources to our child. This is something that had never been possible in the past. No other paralegal and legal team compare to the staff at Lisa Mobley's Law Firm. Superior rating in every area! I am forever grateful to Lisa and her experienced staff that was able to stop the crazy cycle of family court litigation, so that me, our child, ex-spouse and our families can experience real peace for the first time in 6 years. She was a real blessing! Thank you for a job well done. I am forever grateful.

I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the Mobley firm was. They work very hard to be professional, and courteous offering services exactly as requested. They have awesome staff and I had exceptional and fast results. I highly recommend this law firm. The attorneys are delightful and personable. I could not have asked for better services.

Unprofessional, couldn’t answer any of my questions about tenant/landlord dispute despite saying he’s been handling it for 12 years…. If I could have him 0 stars I would have. He didn’t even have a computer at his desk…. He’ll take your consultation fee, give no advice and not feel bad about it at all. A total joke.

I would definitely recommend the Crangle Law Firm. I couldn't ask for a better result.

In April of 2023 my husband was charged with PWID. Quickly into the case we knew we were going to be dissatisfied with the public defenders work and started saving for a lawyer. In that time, me and our daughters returned home to Nebraska but my husband had to stay in SC until the case was resolved. By February of 2024 we still had no idea what was happening with the case or when my husband would be able to come home to us. Out of all the lawyers we contacted, John was the most cost efficient for us and ended up being the best money spent! Within 4 weeks of hiring John, he had my husbands charge reduced, his sentencing complete and my husband back home to Nebraska. I could not be more grateful for all of his efforts, his endless communication, his compassion and care for his clients and our family. 1000000% recommend to anyone who is in need of some help through the justice system. Thank you John, for everything.

Larry Crane represented me in both state and federal court and went so far above and beyond anything I could have hoped for in representing me, he was honest with me about what I was facing and in court I was so pleased with the outcome I have been recommending him adamantly ever since! He's wonderful and I'm with my family today and not in jail because of his extra efforts.

Mr Crane falled to defend me instead he make a deal with DA for me (one already offered to me before he was hired)and when I refused it he tried to intimidate me into taking it anyway. I told thim he was fired and he said I couldn't fire him. He continued to go ahead without me and go to court. I had talked with judge and said I wasn't able to come to court due to an illness. He had put hardly no time in case and as I had no written contract with him and he would not give me billable hours he put in on case.

I engaged the services of James Calmes to complete a legal matter. When complications occurred, his fee tripled over the initial amount that he had quoted. When I asked for the work that had been performed and that I had already paid for, he and his office did not respond to calls, emails or a registered letter to comply with this request. I wanted to present the information to another attorney to get their opinion and it was information that I had paid him to research and compile. I was unable to do this. I had to terminate the services of James Calmes and hire another attorney without receiving the information that I had paid for months before. Bottom line – I hired a different attorney that charged me less than half of what James Calmes had quoted to complete the job.

Please think long and hard before having this man as an attorney he will sail you down the river without a care in the world . Not only will he ignore what you saying but being your attorney he will make his own judgement and act accordingly to that if you can’t afford an attorney and they assign him your best bet is to wait until you can afford to get an attorney or represent yourself. He will never reach out to you unless he’s trying to get you to plea to get you off his stack load of cases on his desk. I pray for anyone who has this man as their attorney.No fight in him at all!!! He will buckle under pressure!!! No Aggressiveness at!!!! Tell you one thing in person and do the opposite in the courtroom

I obtained the services of Lucas Marchant on behalf of my son who is a high school student. Mr. Marchant was very genuine and walked us through the criminal justice process, as well as, the public school procedures involving disciplinary action. Mr. Marchant always kept me up to date on what was taking place and came to the best resolution for our situation that we feel like we could have come to. I would definitely recommend The Marchant Law Firm and would retain his services again if I ever find myself needing a lawyer again.

Handled a trafficking case for me in 2012/13. Took a $25000 retainer, then came back for another $10000 5 months later, ostensibly for federal representation. Let me get interviewed by dea without counsel present and justified the fees by implying all along he could get Judge Verdon to give me an illegal sentence. Was ultimately sanctioned by the Disciplinary Counsel of the SC Supreme Court for his handling of my case and the plea he arranged has been withdrawn. I only had to spend 3 years in prison and my family had to spend about another $50000 to achieve this.

I hired Attorney Silver and his firm to represent me in a chapter 7 Bankruptcy case. Initially Attorney Silver was very forth coming and thorough; this all changed after all the fees were paid. Attorney Silver will regularly go out of the country to manage his other business abroad which may cause any court dates to be rescheduled to meet his personal schedule. This firm filed all the documents required for the chapter 7 Bankruptcy and the amended filing on time and in accordance with the law. Attorney Silver was present at the rescheduled court date as required. A couple of months following the chapter 7 Bankruptcy dismissal I was contacted by one of the creditors listed and discharged in the filing; they actually placed a lien on my property and subsequently removed the lien. They are now planning to file suit against me personally for charges that were discharged, late fees and attorney costs. Attorney Silver office unwaveringly denies includes the charges in the filing even though I have written proof that his firm included the charges. Attorney Silver office also claims to have negotiated an all-inclusive settlement to save my home; this would have included a first and second mortgage. A year later I received a notice inquiring as to why I have not been paying the second mortgage which is actually a down payment assistance loan. I was informed that it was never included in the settlement agreement; Attorney Silver office said it was included. Why it took a year for the lien holder to contact me is unknown but the fact remains that I have to pay the money back. Now I have two payments due each month. I cannot understand why Attorney Silver office whom I paid in full up front to represent me in what should have been a simple case is not standing by the services or lack thereof services that they rendered?

THIS WOMAN SCREWED ME LEFT AND RIGHT. SHE TOLD ME A LIE EVERY TIME SHE OPENED HER MOUTH. SHE WOULD ATTEND SCHEDULED HEARINGS THAT I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT, AND ACT AS IF SHE HAD INFORMED ME OF THE DATE AND TIME, BUT NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING.SHE MADE DECISIONS WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH ME. SHE AGREED TO SEVERAL CHANGES IN THE COURT ORDER, AND WOULDN'T NOTIFY ME. I WOULD HAVE TO FIND OUT BY RECEIVING A COPY OF CHANGED ORDERS IN THE MAIL 1-2 WEEKS LATER. SHE TOLD ME THAT I JUST NEEDED TO GIVE UP AND NOT WORRY ABOUT TRYING TO FIGHT BACK. JUST TO GIVE HIM WHAT HE ASKED FOR. BUT THE WORST IS THAT SHE SAID THAT I AGREED TO GIVE MY DAUGHTERS FATHER SOLE CUSTODY OF MY DAUGHTER, WHICH I HAVE RAISED HER ALONE SINCE BIRTH. THE FATHER WAS NEVER A PART OF HER LIFE CONSISTENTLY. THE DAY OF THE FINAL HEARING I WAS TOLD BY DAVIDA, THAT IF I DIDN'T AGREE TO WHAT THEY (THE FATHER AND HIS ATTY) WANTED, I WOULD GO TO JAIL. SHE REFUSED TO TELL ME WHAT THE AGREEMENT WAS, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE SHE HAD PUT SO MUCH FEAR IN ME, ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO LOSE CUSTODY OF MY BABY. I REQUESTED A COPY OF THE TRANSCRIPT FOR APRIL 29, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE ONLY 7-10 DAYS TO PREPARE THE TRANSCRIPT. AND THAT I WOULD GET A COPY IN THE MAIL. WELL I GOT A COPY ALRIGHT, ONE THAT SHE HAD REVISED TO MAKE IT LOOK AS IF I GAVE UP AND GAVE HIM EVERYTHING!! LONG STORY SHORT, ON APRIL 29 AFTER I WAS RELEASED FROM THE LEC, MY DAD RECEIVED A CALL FROM DAVIDA, AND SHE WOULD NO LONGER BE MY ATTY. THIS LADY CALLED AND FIRED HERSELF BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT EVERYTHING SHE DID AND SAID TO ME WAS WRONG, AND SHE KNEW THAT SHE HAD MESSED UP. TO ME IT SEEMS AS THOUGH I WAS PAYING HER TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER TAKEN AWAY FROM ME AND HER BROTHERS. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT GOD DOES NOT LIKE UGLY AND IT WILL SOON CATCH UP WITH YOU, AND HE WILL HANDLE YOU AND HAVE YOU GO THROUGH A STORM WORSE THAN WHAT SHE PUT ME THROUGH. I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, DO NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN TO REPRESENT YOU IN ANY SHAPE, FASHION, OR FORM FOR ANYTHING!! SHE IS A MONEY HUNGRY PERSON, SHE WILL LIE TO YOU AND TRY TO TAKE EVERY PENNY YOU HAVE.

We went showed Id ad it took several phone calls and threats by mail and email to finally get our names removed which was 45 days later. Which he had it posted on the law suit it was being removed at the request by me by a letter and NOT the document we signed in his office some 45 days before.

My husband went to Tyler for legal advise as we felt we were paying too much in child support. He ran some numbers and made us feel we had a good case. He sent out a demand letter to his ex-wife and she came back attorney represented. No surprise there. He pretty much tells us that he doesn't want to go up against her attorney and recommends others. We felt thankful and duped at the same time. Thankful that at least he was honest before sinking $$ into him but duped as we we felt he left us hanging.

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.
