Mr. Thompson is competent, experienced, and a zealous advocate for his clients. He is actively involved as a leader in Gwinnett County, and respected among his peers. As a fellow attorney, I would recommend him for any civil and criminal legal matters you may have.

Mr. Thompson took my small personal injury case, and got me a really big settlement. What was really nice is that he always took my calls and told me what was going on. I would use him always.

I was charged with a DUI. Mr. Thompson clearly walked me through the process, and made recommendations for my actions. His handling of the case resulted in the charges being lowered and no jail time. Certainly, every case is different, and he never made any guarantees to me. I found Mr. Thompson to be extremely knowledgeable, and well-known and respected by the court. I have no doubt that without his assistance (with any other attorney), the outcome would not have been any where near as simple and successful as it was.

Fakiha's knowledge, courtroom abilities and pre-trial preparation helped me get kids custody as well as a just and equitable division. She was instrumental in being able to communicate to the court my side of the story with facts and witnesses where required. There are no winners in family court but she did a great job in representing and fighting my case. Anyone going through a difficult time can always connect with Fakiha and get consultation and make a decision on their own to retain her services. I can highly recommend her based on my experience.

I retained Ms. Fakiha Khans legal services earlier this year. My sister was going through a very difficult divorce with her ex who was extremely conniving and abusive during the marriage. We had changed several attorneys , and the case had still not been finalized in 3 years! I lived in another state, my parents lived over seas, and my poor sister was left all alone to deal with this bad situation. Being a single mom with two little ones, she was thousands of dollars into attorney fees, not to mention the aggravation of dealing with the court system. Overwhelmed and disappointed, she did not know where to turn to when our last attorney started asking for more money. A lady at the salon my sister went to recommended Fakiha Khan. The lady had gone through a similar experience with a controlling ex. We spoke to Fakiha on the phone, and immediately retained her services. It was the best decision we made!! Let me start by saying , Fakiha Khan is an amazing human being! She's has been there to guide us and advise in every step of the way. She has made herself available to listen to us and help us every time we've. needed her. This is a quality we have have been unable to find in any other attorney we have dealt with in the past. During our court trial, Fakiha was a shark! She was so well prepared, articulate, to the point, made sure she addressed all the issues important to us, and with minimal words and perfect examples was able to portray my sisters ex as he was. She also put up with no bullshit from the opposing attorney. And of course we won the case! Trust me when I tell you, she is fantastic! I expect for my sisters ex to create problems for her in the future, but I also know who I will be calling up when that time comes. Fakiha, thank you for all you have done for us! My sister and our family are very grateful to you. Whoever is reading this review, i guarantee you will be not be disappointed. I know this is a very long review, but I can't put into words how blessed and grateful we feel to have found someone as smart, kind and compassionate as Fakiha.

Ms Khan, has been my attorney for the past 2 years and every time, I’m so grateful that I found her to deal with my difficult and frustrating divorce!! Ms Khan is intelligent, knowledgeable and extremely efficient. She grasps the situation at hand quick and delivers. She has also represented me at court and did an amazing job in winning my case. She dealt with tact and being a bull dog of an attorney, which I required her to be at the same! Time again & again, she has impressed with her outstanding compassion and kindness! She is an asset to her firm and I’m so happy I have her to represent me!!

Joseph wolenski is exactly what you want in a lawyer. His dedication to each client is unprecedented. Every step he took was discussed with me first as to avoid any "unexpected" situations. He works quickly and efficiently, and still manages to make personal contacts, not once did I hear from someone other than Mr. Wolenski. Joseph Wolenski went above and beyond what I had expected from any lawyer. Not having Joseph Wolenski represent you in court would be like not having water in the desert. I highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to avoid confusion and constant call backs from "personal assistants"; if you would like to be treated with respect and get your moneys worth then Joseph Wolenski is the attorney you want representing you.

Mr. Land helped me through a custody battle that was over two states and lasted over 10 years. I had a vicious and litigious ex-husband. The thing I liked best about Mr. Land is that he is always calm, does not tell you what you might want to hear but tells you exactly what to expect. I've worked with lawyers that like to get you inflamed so you will spend more time in litigation. Mr. Land was able to get this case closed!

The most non-empathetic group of people I have ever met! They are like robots. My financial advisor recommended them and I am so disappointed in their professionalism. They are only out to make money and do not have any care or concern about a family’s special needs. They are VERY expensive and make sure that once you give them their money you will NOT got any portion back no matter your situation. ROBOTS with no emotional connection to their “clients”

Initial Review: I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service I have received from Meriwether and Tharp, LLC. From the moment I made my first phone call, I was met with professionalism and care. Julie, who took the initial call, was attentive to all of my concerns and ensured they were passed on to the appropriate partner, Ryan. Ryan's guidance was invaluable, providing me with clear direction and the expertise I needed. Andrea, the senior paralegal, further exceeded my expectations by taking the time to walk me through the entire process, ensuring I understood every step along the way. Finally, I am deeply grateful for Alexa, my attorney, whose expertise and efficiency have been outstanding thus far. She has consistently delivered on everything I asked of her in a timely manner, demonstrating both remarkable intelligence and dedication. The level of professionalism and dedication from each team member has been truly impressive. I am incredibly appreciative of the work that has been done so far in such a short amount of time. It’s rare to find a law firm that combines competence, clarity, and a genuine commitment to their clients, but this firm has certainly achieved that. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of top-tier legal assistance.

Faye is an exceptional attorney who has exceeded my expectations at every turn. While our case is still ongoing, her expertise, strategic thinking, and dedication have already made a profound impression on me (and my case). I consulted with dozens of attorneys, and as soon as I found Faye, she immediately stood out as the clear choice—her professionalism, knowledge, and confidence were unmatched from the very beginning. What sets Faye apart is her ability to combine deep legal knowledge with a genuine commitment to her clients. She not only crafts smart, effective strategies, but she also takes the time to ensure I feel informed and supported throughout the process. Her belief in me and her willingness to go the extra mile have meant so much to me. Taking legal action can be daunting, but Faye has been a shoulder to lean on, my #1 cheerleader, and a strong advocate. It’s clear she is deeply invested in achieving the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Faye to anyone seeking an attorney who is skilled, tenacious, and truly cares about their clients. She has my complete trust and gratitude!

Definition: A relentless fighter is a fighter who is determined and refuses to give up, even when faced with an unpleasant or cruel situation. They are unstoppable and never take no for an answer. Attorney Faye Rosenburg has demonstrated her dedication to pursuing justice for her clients, specifically myself. Navigating such a challenging situation for the first time in my life, I felt fortunate to witness her advocacy on my behalf, as if she were the claimant rather than just my attorney. As a minority woman who has witnessed the stigma surrounding how large partnering attorney firms often overlook or exploit those without substantial income, I can confidently say that Attorney Faye Rosenburg alone defies this stereotype and fights fiercely for her clients. I look forward to writing a second review as we work toward achieving justice!

With maximum efficiency and minimal cost, she went to bat for me with an tireless intensity that let me know that she seriously cared about the outcome of my case. Never relenting until a favorable resolution was obtained. Assertive yet resourceful, driven yet ingenious. I would highly recommend her services to any and all that would inquire.

Initial Review: I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service I have received from Meriwether and Tharp, LLC. From the moment I made my first phone call, I was met with professionalism and care. Julie, who took the initial call, was attentive to all of my concerns and ensured they were passed on to the appropriate partner, Ryan. Ryan's guidance was invaluable, providing me with clear direction and the expertise I needed. Andrea, the senior paralegal, further exceeded my expectations by taking the time to walk me through the entire process, ensuring I understood every step along the way. Finally, I am deeply grateful for Alexa, my attorney, whose expertise and efficiency have been outstanding thus far. She has consistently delivered on everything I asked of her in a timely manner, demonstrating both remarkable intelligence and dedication. The level of professionalism and dedication from each team member has been truly impressive. I am incredibly appreciative of the work that has been done so far in such a short amount of time. It’s rare to find a law firm that combines competence, clarity, and a genuine commitment to their clients, but this firm has certainly achieved that. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of top-tier legal assistance.

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.
