I recently sold my condo - my home for the past 34 years! Given it was so long since I had purchased my home, I had many questions and concerns about the process - I must say I had the absolutely best attorney representing me in Laura Fisher - she is professional, caring, patient and does the utmost to represent her clients - I highly recommend her if one is looking to buy or sell a property - her office staff were top notch as well - I could not have asked for better representation. I will always be grateful for her professional advice and expertise.

I was looking to buy my first house and reached out to Michael. He was very calm and composed and explained me the complete process of home buying and made me feel at ease. I decided at that point itself that he will be my lawyer. The home buying process is lengthy and complex but Michael was always there to explain each step in the process and guided me whenever required. Also he provided great insight which really helped me and negotiated on my behalf with the seller so I can get the maximum sellers credit. He and his team really made the process smooth and kept me on track to close the house much sooner than the offer closing date. On the day of closing there was last minute issues that came up but Michael was quick to identify a solution which really helped me to close the house. I will strongly recommend his services to anyone looking for a lawyer and would be definitely reaching out to him again if I ever need a lawyer.

Worked with Jason Weiss twice this year, once when I bought a house in the spring and again when I sold a house in the summer. He is exactly the kind of lawyer you want working on real estate transactions: He is sharp, incredibly responsive — a huge advantage in today’s fast paced real estate market — and gives you honest feedback when you need it. I also really appreciate that he is closely involved in all aspects of transaction and doesn’t rely excessively on paralegals, which you sometimes find with larger firms.

My attorney fought for my freedom as if it was his own. He constantly stayed in contact with me, kept me informed about my case and what he was discussing with the prosecutor. I was facing 7 years in prison while being represented by previous council. When I hired Jacob he immediately told me that he would get that reduced. Our first court appearance he spoke with the prosecutor and pointed out every flaw in there case, said if they can’t work something out he’d be filing motions to have everything dismissed. My next court date I was offered probation with no jail time at all. Jacob is very professional and focused.

I walked into John's office one day after finding out that my landlord was charging me more than the legal rent-controlled rent. John was incredibly well versed in landlord-tenant law, rent control in particular, and immediately filed a lawsuit for treble damages under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. We ultimately prevailed and I recovered more than three times the amount that I was overcharged, plus all of my attorney fees. I am very satisfied with John's high level of service, expertise, and professionalism.

I first contacted John when I found out that my landlord had overcharged me for my rent-controlled apartment. He was very well versed in rent control law, and advised me to sue under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. In less than one year, the landlord paid me three times the amount that I was overcharged and all of my attorney fees. I highly recommend John for his knowledge, professionalism, efficiency, and trustworthiness.

She always explained everything I needed to know about my case and answered any and every questions without making me feel stupid like other lawyers I have dealt with. She was very honest and kept me updated with my case throughout the whole year it went on for. Not only was she on point but she got me a great settlement. I really thought I had no case since the vehicle that hit me, backed up into my car, I sustained some injuries but had no hope of any compensation, she gave me hope and at the end I got a better than I expected settlement.

Although my divorce was extremely amicable and my ex-wife and I had pretty much decided and agreed on everything prior to the papers even being filed I felt the need to have an attorney review our property settlement agreement to ensure that I was protected and I chose Ms. Aschoff. Ms. Aschoff was extremely knowledgeable and ensured that I was protected in all aspects of my divorce. Additionally, she was extremely patient with me regarding all the questions that I had during the process and explained everything to me in a way that was easily understandable while making me feel comfortable with the decisions that I had to make throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ms. Aschoff to anyone who is in need of an attorney for any family matter.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Shervin Abachi! I initially applied for an O-1 visa with another attorney, which resulted in an RFE and ultimately a denial. Shervin not only turned my case around but also secured an approval—without even receiving a Request for Evidence (RFE). Shervin’s responsiveness and commitment are truly remarkable. He always got back to me promptly, answered every question with clarity and patience, and made me feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. His professionalism, respect, and determination to deliver the best results truly set him apart. I am incredibly grateful for his expertise and dedication, and I now recommend him enthusiastically to all my friends.

I contacted Koles, Burke & Bustillo,L.L.P because the firm I was using prior had made so many mistakes on my case. I couldn't get appointments with physical therapists, doctors or anything else - the firm wouldn't even get back to me when I called, this went on for so long and i had enough. The week I hired Raoul Bustillo he was like a whirlwind. He took over my case and got things done right away! That week I was going to PT and to the right doctors. He had changed the whole case around in my favor. I was so stressed out before and when he took over I was able to relax and rely on my new attorney to work on my behalf and work for me instead of feeling like i was doing everything and someone else would get paid. I am so happy and satisfied at the job that was done for me. What a wonderful firm! This is a firm that puts you at ease and fights for you.

I can't speak highly enough of Aurel. I told my client to call Aurel for his services for the sale of his property and am beyond happy I did. The sale started off pretty easy and quickly turned into a nightmare due to a lot of unforseen circumstances. It took us three times to get the property sold and Aurel stuck with us the whole time. He is an absolute professional and knows his craft in and out. Not only is he an excellent lawyer but he is a down-to-earth, great guy. He didn't heavy hand us because he was the lawyer and we weren't, he spoke to us with respect and came from a place of wanting to do his best to help. I don't know what we would have done without him for this deal. In my opinion, the legal world is a better place with someone with his attitude. I will never use another attorney for any business in this state. If you are looking for a lawyer that really knows his stuff, cares about his clients, and cares about getting the job done, then this is your guy.

I'm still dealing with and it won't probably end soon to make things right for my daughter. I went through many lawyers and it was an emotional nightmare. Just when I was about to give up somehow I found Mr Gerber. We just started together but he cares, works hard, loaded with easing information and an amazing person. He has made my horrible experience feel like there's hope. I hope and wish everyone going through this tough time finds him faster than I did. I highly recommend Mr Gerber. Good luck.

Matt handled my divorce proceedings simply and efficiently. He thoroughly and promptly answered my many questions, made all requested modifications to the agreements, and communicated with my ex and all officials so that I didn't have to. The filing and court procedures changed significantly during the pandemic, but Matt took care of everything without issue. From start to finish my divorce took about three months and I was very happy with my financial outcome.

If you need any help with your TRO trial. You need to contact Mr.Gerber. As a defendant attorney, He is straight like an arrow and tell you how everything is with his experience. His preparation, and his work amazed me. He gave me great confidence and the results I wanted. I did my homework on searching for attorney over the web. And he was my #1 candidate.

I would be the first to recommend Jeff as a lawyer if you want someone who goes above and beyond. He takes the time to make sure you understand things through every step of the case. Additionally, you can tell with how thorough he is that he has the experience necessary to help get you the best possible outcome. My family and I are extremely grateful and blessed to have had an amazing lawyer like Jeff represent us, and we truly believe that we would not have gotten the same outcome without Jeff’s hard work and dedication.

We couldn't be more please with Chirag's services. He made our experience buying our first home feel very easy. Anytime my husband and I had a question or needed advice he quickly answered us even while he was on vacation in India. Chirag's attentiveness to detail really helped us through the process. He diligently followed up with our realtor and the mortgage company to make sure everything was handled appropriately, and once our offer was accepted, he made the process easy to understand and made sure everything was handled appropriately the first time. We would recommend him to anyone!

Over a half a year ago I was charged with a fourth degree felony due to simply being at the wrong place at the wrong time as I never looked for trouble my entire life. In my case, I found myself in a situation where trouble found me. Never having worked with a criminal defense attorney, I wanted to make sure I found one of New Jerseys most reputable. My search ended with the Tormey Law Firm and an opportunity to have attorney Chirag Mehta work on my case. Attorney Chirag was extremely dependable and showed up for all my court appearances on time and when he could not for good reason, which happened only once, he made sure I was in good hands with another one of his fellow attorneys. Attorney Chirag worked hard and was very knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout my case. Whenever I had a question or concern he was able to answer with confidence and provide me with reassurance. By the end of my case Attorney Mehta was able to drop my case down from a fourth degree felony to a boro ordinance, which is an extremely huge jump! Lastly, I would definitely recommend hiring Attorney Mehta and would not hesitate to hire him again, god forbid that life throws me another curve ball and I end up having to deal with Norwood Municipal Court bureaucrats ever again! Thank you attorney Mehta of the Tormey Law Firm!

I hired Ms. Nelson to assist me with child support and alimony issues after my divorce. She handled my case in a professional manner from the start. There was never a time that she was not there for me. My questions and concerns were always handled in a timely manner either by her or her office. She fought hard for me through out my case, which did take considerable time. Over that time, I came to think of her as a friend, someone who truly had my back and not just my attorney. I have since recommended her to others in need of an excellent attorney. If the need ever arose in the future where I again needed legal representation, I would pick up the phone and know Ms. Nelson would step up and do an amazing job.

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.
