I recently made a call to Alber Sklavos, PC, to speak with my Attorney Alexander Sklavos, with regards my case that was successfully handled sometime ago, but due to some recent events, and new concerns, I needed to reach out to have some questions answered. I felt genuine relief, after receiving a call back from my attorney, and having my concerns addressed. Alexander Sklavos not only remembered me as his client, and despite some time passing since my case, which was resolved, Sklavos was able to retrieve, acknowledge, and address my questions, and concerns for my family, on a human level, in the utmost knowledgeable, and professional manner. One of the first statements I made when I called was, " I know I was your client in past, but I really need to speak with you", the response from Alexander Sklavos was " Vanessa, once a client, you are always our client, no matter how much time has passed". I can not begin to tell you, how comforted I felt with those words. I could immediately feel that my family is safe, and protected always. When dealing with my family's legal needs there's no one I could trust more. Thank you Abler Sklavos law firm for making my families needs a priority, and easing my worries. Vanessa Burrowes

I would recommend Alex Sklavos. He’s very intelligent and sharp. He personally showed up (never sent another attorney in his place) 100% of the time for all of my court matters. My case was very complex and lasted quite a long time. He stayed the course and worked for me every step of the way with patience and attentiveness. Any client will be in good hands with Alex’s services.

When my dog was stolen by an ex, I was devastated. I felt like my baby had been ripped away from me and I did not know how I would survive the trauma. The police and many lawyers told me it was a civil matter and there was not much I could do. Then I found the Dog Lawyer, Richard Rosenthal. He took my case seriously and he knew this was more than a civil matter despite what I had been told by other attorneys. His familiarity with animal law allowed him to bring me justice, and thanks to him, I have been reunited with my baby. I don't know what I would have done if I had not found Richard. He honestly saved me and my dog's life and I will be forever grateful. If you need a pet attorney, this is your guy!

I consulted and hired Mr rosenthal to help me with my divorce, custody and custody of my dogs. My ex was uncooperative the entire time. But even with the ex being as difficult as he was, the whole process went pretty smooth and Mr rosenthal was amazing during the whole process. My ex settled and said to me after that HE should have hired Mr rosenthal.

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.
