I am still very disturb of her disgusting representation. I know one thing. God is bigger than her. She is color sync. I know that God is doing to bring her down. When she is going down she will definitely remember the people of color whom she stole from and intentionally lost there case. God said he will make Renee Swanson my foot stool.

Renee did absolutely nothing for my case. At one point I believed that the other party had paid her to give me the bare minimum representation. Paid her over 15k and ended up settling out of court. What the opposing party was proposing in a custody case would not have held up in any other court of law, but because Renee was unsupportive, I was bullied into settling.

Terrible Lawyer! He does not return phone calls, emails and has left a dear friend high and dry with no attorney to represent her. Twice he has left her without knowing if she is represented. He has been reported to the ethics board.

Connie is an amazing lawyer she will fight for you til the end. If you need a lawyer that's going to fight and not stand down and that is very intelligent and well spoken she is the one to go to. I wish there was more than five stars I would give her 10 Stars. As for the people that work there as well they're are amazing and very professional.

One the most worst attorneys I've dealt with in my sixty years on earth. Yes, it is very true when people say he treads that fine line without crossing over it. But most importantly, David Greenberg has made a lot of money over his years as an attorney developing friendships along the way that has turned into a culture of attorneys that will protect one another at all costs... especially at the fee dispute board where they offer no diversity. David Greenberg was hired to open a succession. The property had a signed contract for $120,000, but that still wasn't enough to get a status hearing or open a succession or partition by licitation. After #7340, nothing was done for over a year. The only consistency from his office was billing. My belief is that all individuals that David Greenberg has taken advantage of should band together and go to the news media and plead their cases before the public. David Greenberg's treachery has no boundaries. I have every document supporting every claim that I've made in this review. I spoke to the fee dispute board at the Louisiana bar association. I was told that the arbitrator who resided over our case and ruled in favor of David Greenberg didn't have to cite reasons as to why or how he came to his decision. This was appalling considering the fact that David Greenberg admitted he "dropped the ball" pertaining to our case DURING the arbitration hearing. Even a judge in the courtroom gives a reason why he/she rendered their verdict. It seems as though rules and policies are geared towards protecting a culture of attorneys that prey upon their clients without ANY accountability. In what other practice can a person admit to wrongdoing and have zero disciplinary or financial consequences for failure to perform his contractual obligation, especially as an officer of the court? David Greenberg asked the court to withdraw him from our case since we fired him. We didn't fire him. We did give him an ultimatum via letter and wanted to sit down and talk about our concerns. He agreed but backed out the day before the meeting. Overall, we had a horrible experience and would NEVER recommend his services to anyone else.

Very easy to communicate with David Greenberg; he returns calls immediately and was careful to include all of us in his emails and updates. Highly recommend this attorney.

Ms Madere is disorganised and chaotic. She has a problem with communicating and does not respond to emails and phone calls unless she wants to. She was unprepared for court hearing and added stress to an already stressful situation. I did get the result I wanted in my divorce and custody but not thanks to her. She should probably retire, look elsewhere

Counselor failed to answer requests by opposing counsel while under retainer. Failed to file contempt after multiple instances where I didn’t get proper visitation as ordered by the courts. Was completely unprepared for trial, had to request continuation. Hired a PI who informed her evidence we were seeking would need to be attained by subpoena, she failed to subpoena this evidence to be prepared for next court date. Did not communicate with me for over next three and a half weeks leading up to new trial date. Called daily, emailed daily, no response. Charge me for unanswered emails asking if she had the time to work my case! Admitted she couldn’t handle the case and then proceeded to ask for more money. Basically she quit working my divorce, but kept stringing me along. Had face to face sit down where she began to curse at me and tell me what my problem was when I questioned her about the lack of communication and failure to file contempt on multiple occasions. Said we were out of money and told me I was broke and she felt bad asking for more money. That would have been vital information to know she was throwing in the towel in lieu of additional funds. Always added funds every step of the way! Very unprofessional. Do not recommend. Negligent, does things her own way, does not listen, unorganized, procrastinator. Does not have the capacity to go to trial. Seek other counsel!

In what other practice can a person admit to wrongdoing and have zero disciplinary or financial consequences for failure to perform his contractual obligation, especially as an officer of the court? David Greenberg asked the court to withdraw him from our case since we fired him. We didn't fire him. We did give him an ultimatum via letter and wanted to sit down and talk about our concerns. He agreed but backed out the day before the meeting. Overall, we had a horrible experience and would NEVER recommend his services to anyone else.

David Greenberg is a very upfront, informative attorney. We presented him with a case that he understood immediately and found a quick effective path to resolve. Attorney fees were fair and the outcome was successful for us. Very easy to communicate with David Greenberg; he returns calls immediately and was careful to include all of us in his emails and updates. Highly recommend this attorney.

I was referred to Mr. Greenberg after a previous lawyer left me very displeased. Mr. Greenberg and his office always responded to my calls and emails in a timely manner. They explained everything about my case and kept me in the loop as it moved forward. I will continue to refer people to Mr. Greenberg and his staff because they are honest and trustworthy.

One the most worst attorneys I've dealt with in my sixty years on earth. Yes, it is very true when people say he treads that fine line without crossing over it. But most importantly, David Greenberg has made a lot of money over his years as an attorney developing friendships along the way that has turned into a culture of attorneys that will protect one another at all costs... especially at the fee dispute board where they offer no diversity. David Greenberg was hired to open a succession. The property had a signed contract for $120,000, but that still wasn't enough to get a status hearing or open a succession or partition by licitation. After #7340, nothing was done for over a year. The only consistency from his office was billing. My belief is that all individuals that David Greenberg has taken advantage of should band together and go to the news media and plead their cases before the public. David Greenberg's treachery has no boundaries. I have every document supporting every claim that I've made in this review. I spoke to the fee dispute board at the Louisiana bar association. I was told that the arbitrator who resided over our case and ruled in favor of David Greenberg didn't have to cite reasons as to why or how he came to his decision. This was appalling considering the fact that David Greenberg admitted he "dropped the ball" pertaining to our case DURING the arbitration hearing. Even a judge in the courtroom gives a reason why he/she rendered their verdict. It seems as though rules and policies are geared towards protecting a culture of attorneys that prey upon their clients without ANY accountability.

Ms Denicholas will represent you in court. But her word is not trustworthy. She does not follow up with her clints. And when she agrees, get it in writing before leaving the court room. Because she will never take your phone calls or return emails or texts. When the court says shes your attorney after your sentence. You or on your on. Please don't let her do this to you. Don't hire her.

I had a difficult case to begin with. I was suing a dealership for a used truck I purchased and had problems with it from the start. The transmission crapped out on me in less than 500 miles as well as other power train problems. Max was very personable and hands on from the beginning. He was straight up with me and always kept me in the loop. He went for the jugular as far as getting the judgement I wanted. He won my lawsuit and made it look easy in the process. Several family members and coworkers referred me to max with high praise and stories of how he got favorable results for them as well. I was happy I chose him as my attorney. Hopefully I won't have need for an attorney ever again but if I do I won't hesitate to go to max for all legal problems. I highly recommend Mr. Max Chotto

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.
