When my husband was laid off from work, the timing could not have been worse for us financially. We had been through a few years of unforeseeable financial issues, and were somewhat overextended as a result. The total loss of income meant there was no way to meet all obligations. We researched bankruptcy lawyers online, and talked to a couple. It was clear from the initial contact with Ms Tanner that she is very knowledgeable in her field, is a clear communicator and is able to obtain what information she needs from a client in order to give the best advice, and is very compassionate. We chose to retain her as our attorney, and from the very start, she gave clear, concise instructions as to how best to navigate the best course of action. Within a year, all was taken care of, without any unpleasant surprises. The staff was also always very responsive and helpful throughout the entire experience. All in all, Ms. Tanner made this as painless as it can possibly be to go through bankruptcy, and we are very grateful for her representation.

We did not expect our situation could be resolved with just one appearance in court. But our lawyer, Thomas Jarvinen, made that happen to our utter surprise and relief. At that one and only court appearance we needed to be present for, we had no idea what to expect. But a few minutes later, our lawyer told us the prosecuting attorney now wishes to drop all changes (against me) and strike all court records (so related to my case). How in the world Mr. Jarvinen was able to persuade the prosecutor against me to do this (essentially throw in the towel), which would totally clear my name is still a mystery to us. Who would have thought what we felt to be a complicated issue that no doubt, or so we assumed, would involve discord and arguments my and God knows what all else, especially as our particular problem had us pitted against a U.S. corporate giant, that we had so little as even a snowballs chance being cleared of anything negative involving a corporate giant and just little old me, but the jaw dropping summation of it all for us was indeed legal victory. So yes sometimes even we common citizens prevail over the almighty power of the girded bastions of corporate advantage, whether it be political advantage, financial advantage, advantages related to corporate claims of equal rights under corporate personhood laws now enacted, or anything else. As a just published book on "Am***n" states : "The Rich Dont Always Win..." Granted, our case was "small potatoes" in most other citizens' opinions, in comparison to many others, but even small victories add up. Too us, we find what's more important than "how" he won our case is "that" he won our case! We, husband and self highly recommend this lawyer, whom even other lawyers have commented that he did a really good job for us, and we also recommend the Russ Crumbley Law Firm where he is an active legal professional along with Russ. Russ used to be a coworker of my husband at the hospital where they were coworkers together. But quit some time back, while holding his full time radiology job along with my husband, Russ felt a call to learn and practice law, and boy is he good at it! As are the partners he's chosen, and just as he was as my husband's collegue in hospital radiology practice. I give ten thumbs up for Russ, Thomas, and all members of the Russ Crumbley Law Firm They have a well appointed, very nice two story red break colonial office building on the service road for Memorial Parkway South, set very close to that service road, with room for customer parking at the direct front of the building. They are located north of Parkway Place Mall and are easily accessible.

He kept me informed throughout, ensuring that I was always up-to-date and explaining the process to me. In the end, he was able to completely settle my legal issue to my complete satisfaction.

After sustaining a work related injury in February 2014, I quickly realized that I would need legal representation. A friend and work colleague recommended Mr. Blackwell. Mr. Blackwell and his paralegal, Nicole Brown, take every case very, very seriously. Mr. Blackwell is able to explain the complicated legal process in very simple terms. Mr. Blackwell and Nicole, dedicate themselves to providing the best legal representation available today. Mr. Blackwell is a fighter and uses every strategy possible to win the best settlement possible with the evidence and material at hand. His attention to detail is what makes Mr. Blackwell such a great lawyer. It should be noted that, Mr. Blackwell doesn’t advertise on television, billboards, plaques or other media outlets. He relies solely upon references from his large list of satisfied clients. Rest assured, Mr. Blackwell will take a case to trial if need be, to get the best possible outcome for a case. All of the lawyers you see advertising on the various media outlets, avoid going to court at all cost and will settle a case, out of court, often at the expense of their client. Mr. Blackwell is well respected as an injury lawyer by his peers and Judges alike. In my case, opposing council was well aware that Mr. Blackwell would take my case to trial if an amicable settlement couldn’t be reached. That said, Mr. Blackwell forced opposing council to meet his demands to the letter. After Mr. Blackwell was satisfied that we’d achieved the best possible settlement, opposing council, Mr. Blackwell and myself went to open court to have a Judge review and approve the settlement. In front of the Judge, I was interviewed by Mr. Blackwell and opposing council with regards to the settlement. Then, the Judge interviewed me to make sure that I was in agreement with the settlement too. After the Judge was satisfied on all counts, he addressed me by saying that he knew and respected Mr. Blackwell professionally and that he’s an outstanding injury case lawyer and that he believes that Mr. Blackwell has brought my case to the best possible conclusion. In closing, I will personally recommend Mr. Blackwell and his staff to anyone that has an injury claim and needs the best possible legal representation.

Jeff Blackwell and his associate, Jennifer McKown, did an excellent job on my case. They paid attention to every detail of a complex case and were always one step ahead of the game. They are very knowledgeable, excellent lawyers, and are also kind and caring people. They have good, professional relationships with other lawyers and judges, which gives them good leverage in negotiating. Their professionalism and calm demeanors made the process smoother and less traumatic than it could have been. They also secured a very good outcome in my case.

It is going to be difficult for me to find the words to express the level of heartfelt gratitude I have toward Mr. Thomas S. McGrath’s law firm. I am a single mother of 2 small children who was seeking to purchase a home and found herself being taken advantage of a Real Estate team out of Madison, Alabama. They were in the process of trying to manipulate me into buying a home that they had not repaired as promised and time was running for me with my apartment lease. I had to make a decision to stay in my apartment or take a chance on a house that may never be repaired as promised. I knew I could never afford to take on the repairs they were trying to leave behind. I was receiving threats of being taken to court for not wanting to purchase this home and with their disregard for my situation could have very well lead to the kids and I being homeless. They did not care no matter how much I tried to explain my situation. Needless to say I was scared and was losing hope quickly. I decided it was time to seek legal advice. I was able to speak with a few lawyers in the area but I only got very “broad” answers if you will, which didn’t give me any comfort or direction. Luckily, Mr. McGrath was recommended to me and within a few days his team had me scheduled for a consultation. The day of the consultation, Mr. McGrath’s demeanor was unmatched and his genuine concern for the situation was overwhelming. He is very direct and will tell you the truth about the severity of the situation and the projected outcome based on facts presented. His efforts are 100% the entire time. I had been dealing with this situation for weeks on my own and I finally felt like I had solid support. Mr. McGrath has been practicing law for 27 years or more and is well versed in Real Estate, among other things which is very comforting also. He went the extra mile to ensure I was secure and understood the plan of action he had. His skill and attention to detail helped me retrieve the mutual release and earnest money I had deposited within a few days even after the real estate company had denied my request of release several times. Mr. McGrath projected how they would respond and always had a plan of action in place at all times. The kids and I lost our opportunity to purchase a home this year but I can guarantee you I will be confident next year knowing I can call Mr. McGrath if another agency tries to corner me into a bad buy again. He is extremely knowledgeable and has high moral standards. You will not find a better person to support your legal needs. I hope Real Estate teams who tend to lean toward unfair practices are well aware that there is a lawyer in the area who won’t allow it and is very capable of discerning good and bad real estate practice. I thank the McGrath Law Firm from the bottom of my heart and will be forever grateful!

I met Brad Ryder over two years ago. At the time my mother was in the hospital because of care that she failed to receive while a patient at a local nursing home. Brad and his staff took an active interest in my mother’s situation. Over time my mom’s health deteriorated and Brad made sure that he visited her on a regular basis. I remember Brad bringing his son to the hospital on Christmas day, so that he could meet my mom before she passed away. I could tell that this was important to Brad. Brad and his staff always kept my mother and me informed of what was happening. They worked hard to help bring my mom’s case to a conclusion. After many hard fought battles with the nursing home and their attorneys, Brad was able to help us settle my mom’s case. My mom and Brad enjoyed a very special relationship. I still consider Brad to be a member of my family. He is honest and hardworking. Brad is also someone who cares about his clients.

When you hire a lawyer the most important thing is trust, you must trust what they are telling & selling you! Jon told me from the day I walked in and before I paid what he was going to do. I remember how confident he was lol, and I was like…. Really??? cause I was so nervous! I called Chelsea all the time asking the same questions over and over, she was so patient, kind, & understanding though :) My cases were an A-2 DUI, Failure to properly yield, & No Insurance (which I had). We pled not guilty, the case was continued three times, and the fourth time we went to trial in district court. Well Jon was not there that because he had a doctor’s appointment, so Mike Morenilla filled in for him. (I was like wait, where is Jon, I hired Jon). But Mike did the trial and simply nailed it! Not guilty all 3 counts!! So impressed! So in a brief description the whole team is just wonderful to work with, I am so pleased with the trustworthy, friendly, experienced, educated, confident, & passionate service I received.

Bart's counsel, guidance and advice combined with his ability to navigate the legal system and use his knowledge of the law were the reasons we won. His willingness to listen to the complaint then find the flaws when the responsible party attempted to avoid reponsibility, were expert level. His ability to untangle a complicated situation and find a way to assure proper justice and secure victory when I thought it was hopeless, far exceeded expectations.

I know Caleb would have prepared an solid response at the next level, but I was not willing to continue. His rates were very reasonable. The value for the cost was excellant.

While working as a Social Worker I was both sexually assaulted, raped and physically beaten. Then and this is what a lot of people find more shocking then what actually happened to me physically is that I was sued by the County for being raped. If that is not nasty enough they hired private investigators to follow me around to and from my doctor appointments. It is hard very hard to get over being attacked the way that I was it does not help the healing process along to know that you are being followed again. All by being assigned to case that did not meet our programs criteria. I had met with my supervisor three times that day explaining how this case did not meet our safety parameters for predominantly the children of the case I was given but time and time again she chose to keep her case numbers high and safety of those we were sworn to serve secondary at best. Even after all of this you will have a hard time finding an attorney willing to one go to court secondly go to court against a municipality like a county. I went through several prior to meeting Tara that just weren't up to the challenge for one reason or another. I really had began to give up on finding an attorney that had the inner and outer fight needed for this kind of case. No attorney was going to make a lot of money of this case it was just a matter of finding someone that would do the right thing. If there is anyone better then Tara and more dedicated I have yet to meet them. She is a fighter, her record is amazing and most of all she really cares. Not quality's you find in many people these days. can't imagine recommending another attorney for anything.

I had a very hard and difficult case that was not going to make Mrs.Helms a great deal of money but was going to require a great deal of hard work and willingness to go to court which a lot of attorney's do not want to do in fact I went through three attorneys prior to meeting and deciding to go with Mrs.Helms. She is a fighter and will work tirelessly to win all the cases she takes. Her record is impressive her dedication remarkable. It is my belief after meeting and going through several local attorneys regarding my case that you will not find anyone better nor more professional.

We had a problem when a government contractor failed to pay our invoice. All of our efforts to collect were met with stonewalling and deception. Todd was of great assistance in getting this situation resolved. Throughout the process he was responsive and answered all our questions as they arose. The final payment has been made and the issue resolved in a very reasonable time frame.

In selecting an attorney, my top priorities were accessibility, responsiveness and well-rounded perspective. Mr. Howard and his staff at the Rahmati Law Firm exceeded my expectations on every level. He has become a trusted advisor for my personal household matters as well as for my business needs. My relationship with Mr. Howard began with real estate contracting. He provided comprehensive recommendations and thoughtful perspective on our individual matters. In every instance in which we worked together, Mr. Howard demonstrated a deep working knowledge of real estate law and how it applied to my individual contracts. He went above and beyond in terms of research for our individual questions. He is continues to be accessible for our current portfolio as well as for household matters. What I enjoy most about working with Mr. Howard is his ability to put us at ease in any situation. He answers questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. He translates his applied legal knowledge into recommendations that are easy to understand, and most importantly, incredibly thorough. I have referred both business clients as well as real estate contacts to him, and will continue to do so.

Donald Christian has helped us with two legal issues. The firs involved an incident with a car that was loaned to someone and the car was wrecked. Don took my call on a Saturday and provided very clear and understandable direction on how to handle the situation. We followed his direction and resolved the situation without any further problems. Don not only provided sound direction but was a calm reassuring voice in a very stressful situation. Don also prepared Wills for my wife and I. The Wills were prepared in a very professional and expedient manor via email. We did not have to go into his office except to sign the final Wills.

Mr. Christian spent as much time as l needed on the phone. I would strongly recommend him, whether you are needing a lawyer or just an answer to an important question regarding a situation you may find yourself in. He spoke to me as though he knew me. He didn't hurry me off the phone, and didn't feel intimidating or make me feel uncomfortable.

Mr Bailey replied to my question almost immediately. He was knowledgeable, & not only gave me information on my son's case, but was actually willing to look up the case. Part of the issue involves something in another State. Mr Bailey is not licensed in that state so we can't go any further with him, but now we know what to do.

I live across the country and needed a Lawyer in Huntsville to Probate my Mother's Estate and I was fortunate to find Mr. McCartha and his wonderful wife Jennifer. They walked me through the process very thoroughly and gave me excellent advice and information every step of the way. I found them to be very genuinely nice, caring people and felt like I could trust them as soon as I met them. They went out of their way to expedite the initial filings so that I only had to make one trip to Huntsville and made me feel confident that they would continue the process expertly - which they did. I highly recommend Mr. McCartha and would not hesitate to contact him again should I need to.

I have consulted with Maureen Cooper for two different issues related to divorce and alimony . In the past , the thought of consulting with any attorney was one associated with fear and dread . I have had contact with lawyers in the past who had no genuine desire to help me quickly resolve a problem or to provide straight answers . I had never consulted with an attorney who genuinely wanted to earn the respect and trust of others as much as he wanted to take advantage of my problem for his own profit . Ms. Cooper is a rare gem because she is competent , straight forward , not manipulative and earnest in her desire to assist people and not exploit their problems to advance herself in an unfair way . She is a good person , and if someone needs an attorney they can trust who will not take advantage of them , she is the first person to call . I hold her in high esteem and feel thankful to know an attorney of her caliber in competence and human decency . I asked another attorney who was too busy to consult with me for a name of an honest and capable lawyer . She spoke highly of Maureen , and I must agree she was correct in her assessment of Maureen Cooper.

Aaron helped me with my contentious divorce. He communicated regularly with me, responded quickly to emails and phone calls, and made sure I understood everything that was happening. He didn't mind explaining things and answered all of my questions in detail. Unfortunately, we had to go to trial (not at all his fault, the ex refused to negotiate a settlement) but Aaron did a great job for me. He was very calm and sure, and presented my case very well before the judge. In the end, I was awarded almost everything we asked for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aaron for anyone needing his services.

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.
