Nice place, however would not recommend Kourtney Simmons as a point of contact for an attorney. I experienced her as very quick tempered. Talks more than she listens and gets flustered easily during problem- solving - resolution tasks. I also don’t appreciate her openly discussing the matter in the lobby area of the firm instead of in her office when she got frustrated . Her voice began to rise first , and her facial expressions were flustered . Meaning, everyone in the office heard her and heard us . Not client confidential at all . I believe if she could be more empathic in nature , and patient she could assist clients better with the needs of all parties involved , which could strengthen her reputation for the brand of this office . Maybe it was due to her busy schedule so she wanted quick - cut - paid - deal when I finally got to see her, bringing my dad . There was a misunderstanding - and instead of using critical thinking skills , to identify the root , she immediately jumped into defense . I have an elderly father with 2 strokes, I already communicated that to her , a little slow in understanding , and she tried to spin my questions of clarity into coercion . Other than that, I believe the staff are quite friendly and are awesome at following up and scheduling . I hope in the future Kourtney can treat all of her clients with disabilities and non disabilities , black or white , young or old the same care as it’s given in previous reviews .

My advice to anyone that has to deal with this Chancellor is to run. He is unprofessional he doesn't know what he's doing in his new job as Chancellor. He schedules appearances and then he backs out it happened to me twice. He doesn't know the law and I'm not the only one that has commented on this. IfJudge Butler was still there my experience would never have happened.

Completely new territory to us and we have asked a thousand questions that Mr Teel has answered until we understood. His staff are wonderful and find the answers if they don't have them. It would have been easy to make us feel bad about this situation- they've always been encouraging while giving us the hard facts we needed to proceed correctly. They have told us the truth when it could have cost them. I respect these excellent people and would recommend them highly to anyone in similar need.

Because of financial difficulties resulting from my husband's long-term illness, we contacted our family lawyer who referred up to Mr. Jerome Teel. Mr. Teel is Certified as a Specialist in Consumer Bankruptcy by the American Board of Certification. At our first meeting, I found Mr. Teel to be kind and caring; he put me at eas right away. He is a savvy lawyer: asking about facts; explaining my rights; reviewing my documents. I hired him and he has done a good job of keeping me informed about the process as it rolls along. I am very pleased with him personally and professionally and highly recommend him for your legal needs.

I met Mrs. Teresa during a very dark time in my life and was in complete shambles. After our first visit, Mrs. Teresa made me feel like a person again and gave me hope that I would recover from this unfortunate event. She is very thorough, caring, understanding and very, very good at her job. She made my experience much more of a delight than I thought was possible. I also want to mention her assistant, Mrs Keri. She was also an instrumental part of making my experience a positive one. Mrs Keri is much like Mrs. Teresa with having very strong people skills and so very helpful throughout the entire process. She is a great asset to Mrs. Teresa’s team. We all connected instantly and they inspired me with hope. They literally made me feels like family and I can’t thank them enough!! God Bless!

I have been in a domestic marital circumstance for almost 9 years that 3 other attorneys, either unresolved or did a sub par job, that had me in a bad situation that I needed desperately resolved. After calling Mr. Grant and explaining my complex situation, he spent over an hour in a free consultation explaining his ideas and expertise on my case. Attention I had never gotten in a paid hour with other attorneys. With that confidence, I retained Mr. Grant, and he resolved the issue in 7 weeks without stepping into the Chancery Court. I will never call another Jackson Attorney except Mr. Grant and it was the first time I finished with an attorney and said it was money well spent. Would recommend him to anyone in Jackson with a divorce, custody and support case as complex as mine or as simple as mine started. I wish I called him 9 years ago.

My niece informed me of what happened in the office firm September 27,2024 and I was absolutely shocked and devastated that such behavior would come from a licensed attorney. My niece is 27 years old, educated , articulate and understands ,comprehensively. She was trying to help on the behalf of my brother . Kortney Simmons did not lead by example per what was explained to me. Definitely not a good representation of Casey & Simmons Law Firm . Threatening in tone , condescending to someone younger , cruel to someone with a disability and their ability to process information .

we hired Lisa after someone referred her. Being tired of attorneys that were in our town, they all were in each others pockets. Lisa was fresh and went straight in and took care of the problem. She's not cheap but worth every penny. I will never hire another attorney but her if I need one again.

Ms. Houston is and was very informative, and addressed all my concerns in the proceeding of my divorce; she fought for everything I wanted out of the marriage and I got everything I wanted from the marriage. This was a divorce between two military individuals, so with-that-said she is a go to Lawyer for a military divorce. Good luck with yours, but if you have her in your corner you will be getting one of the best in her field…

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to speak with Mrs. Hill in the summer of 2024. Her exceptional skill in juggling multiple practice areas with ease speaks volumes about her years of experience and dedication. It was clear that she is deeply involved with each client and every stage of their case. What sets her apart is her commitment to personalized service—she even does house calls, which is incredibly rare for lawyers these days {I also do them in Florida, as I practice law in Florida}. She is also committed to her staff, and that loyalty is evident. If you are looking for a lawyer who combines expertise, attentiveness, and a personal touch, reach out to Hill Law Firm.

I have several pieces of advice... First, and foremost, don't get an exwife. Second - get a prenup. Third, if you didn't take my advice on the first two (I didn't) & find yourself searching for an atty - reading this trying to determine who to choose - get Andrea (I did). She can't fix your stupidity (or the consequences that follow) but is excellent in taking your case / situation & getting the best possible outcome "given the circumstances..." I say "given the circumstances" STRONGLY because there's only so much any one person can do given the circumstances, legal precedent, judge, etc... I can't imagine a higher level of service or a more knowledgeable attorney who serves their client better than she did with me. Billing is reasonable, fair, honest, & upfront. I hired Andrea for her advice & guidance - not for me to tell her what to do - which is a different approach than some people take. Use her wisely, & you'll be thankful you did... I won't be getting a divorce again (you can't get a divorce if you don't get married :) ), but will 100% recommend her to anyone needing her help!

She pretty much took my money and sit back and did nothing to help me with my divorce. I thought she was a very highly respected lawyer, but I was wrong. She never would call me back or answer any of my questions. This shouldnt be allowed when you pay people and trust them.

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.
