I was in a wreck and not only was my husband injured, but my new Jeep was totaled. The insurance company wouldn’t pay for my Jeep because of “depreciation”, and I ended up getting sued by the finance company! Evan went after them for me and got the whole case resolved. Had their case thrown out of court. He didn’t even charge me. I would definitely recommend Danno Law Firm in Kalispell if you have an accident or a problem with an insurance company. Michelle Aquino

I was attacked and bitten by a vicious german shepard while at a friends house. I hired Evan Danno, who tracked down the owner of the dog and filed a claim with his homeowners insurance company. Evan and Kimber took care of all of my medical bills and the entire claim. My hand was permanently deformed from the bites, and they had the insurance company pay for all of that, plus my fear and emotional distress in the settlement. This is the “go to” firm if you need a personal injury lawyer! Deborah Strozzi A couple years after my dog attack, I was rear ended by a truck on the highway and my whole right side was injured. My truck was out of commission. I hired Danno Law Firm again. Evan and his paralegal, Kimber, got me a rental truck for over a month, got my mediccal bills paid, required the insurance company to pay my lost wages periodically, and got a good settlement for my pain and suffering. They were both very compassionate and helpful in dealing with my injuries, hospital and medical billings, and the three insurance companies involved in the case. I didn’t even have to go to court. They were on top of my claim from beginning to end. Thanks also for helping me deal with the emotional pain and suffering, and for answering all my questions. I highly recommend them for any legal help needed. Deborah Strozzi

I had several meetings with Kraig discussing the merit of pursuing a personal injury claim due to a rear end collision I was unfortunately involved in. Kraig was super patient with me explaining the process with the at fault insurance company.He was very candid about was it in my best interest to hire him, or not, he continued on to give me some very helpful free legal advice ,I even offered to pay for his time, but he declined. I found Kraig to be a genuine individual . I would not hesitate a moment to refer him to family or friends!

How refreshing. We had a ton of questions for a Workman's Comp/Retirement issue and only had one day in which to make our decision. We called Kraig late in the day on a Thursday afternoon and he was beyond patient with us plus took the time to explain everything in great detail. He explained that in our particular case we probably wouldn't come out ahead to hire him, but did give us tips on how to negotiate ourselves with Workman's Comp. Who does that? He did not try to up sell us, sign us or give us grandiose expectations, simply straight talked and gave us our best options. Thank you Kraig. We choose your law firm at random from internet listings but will recommend and choose your law firm in the future because of your compassion and the professional interaction we had with you. My husband even commented how nice it was you didn't seem like you were trying to get rid of us once it was determined we weren't hiring you. It is really stressful trying to figure all the Social Security, Retirement, Workman's Comp, etc. for a lay person; you answered all our questions and then some plus eased our minds that we were making the right decision. Highly recommend.

When she was a public defender with a huge caseload, she always had time understood everything. I was struck by how intelligent she was. I drove without a license but I was signing my daughter up for hot lunch and it was too far to walk especially in winter time. I've never had a dui it was just unpaid fines, anyways have a license now and drive a 2017 Honda Accord Sport now. She fought like Johnny Cochran knew the law like F Lee Bailey. Seriously it was like watching the Michael Jordan of the 90s destroy everyone, Thats here in court i haven't found someone better on YouTube, T.V. or any other medium. At the end of the trail I had no fees, and the court understood. I couldn't believe it! A Public Defender was the Babe Ruth of law. I could go on, and on, but I have a life just like people to know about Mrs Rapkock. You're welcome.

I was in a car accident and like an idiot didn’t go to the hospital because I thought I was fine. A couple months later I started experiencing symptoms which my chiropractor called dormant injury and said was common. I hired Becky Henning and even though I waited a couple months she was able to get the insurance company to pay for all my medical bills plus a lump sum of cash. Thanks Becky!

I contacted the law firm after many attempts to other firms that denied my claim. I had an over the phone consult and within no time I was asked to come in and have a meeting with them. I instantly felt relief with them, they made me feel comfortable and content. They worked so hard on my case and kept me up to date with all the details. They won my case when no other firm would take the time to care. I would highly recommend Rebecca and her firm they truly treat you like family.

I just called and the receptionist said they don't deal in tenant/landlord issues. Mine is extreme. One tenant has assaulted me twice, the landlord drills into my locked bedroom and steals things. He takes photos of other tenants driver license' and screenshots them, then emails them in a group chat, he's broken the no contact order for the physically violent tenant and let's her back in the home and I'm in fear. I told this receptionist to remove the tenant/landlord issues from the website. It's false advertising.

Andrea represented me in my divorce a couple years ago. She was professional, easy to work with, and good at both mediation and going to court. We were able to settle the parenting part of the case in mediation, and I felt she did a great job representing my interests there. She was knowledgeable about the law and did a good job of informing me of my options while checking to see how I felt about things. I am very happy with the parenting plan we came up with. We ended up going to court on property and she was prepared, knowledgeable, and nothing short of a zealous advocate for my interests. We got a great result. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs legal counsel.

The situation began in July when we met with a Gravis attorney to update our estate documents which they had provided several years earlier, because we had moved and thought that it would be a good idea to update our address and phone numbers. We figured that request would be a simple task and we paid $200 for that meeting. At that time we were told that a paralegal would update the address and phone numbers and call us in a couple weeks to set a signing date. A month later we received an invoice for $160, which we assumed was the paralegal charge for updating the documents, but we were not notified to set a signing date. The next couple of months we called the Gravis office several times regarding a signing date, but they were not available and didn’t return our calls. Finally in November a paralegal called to set a signing date and emailed us the documents to review before the signing date. When we reviewed the documents we noticed places where the address and phone numbers were not updated, so we had to return the email and note the errors for correction. After the signing we were shocked to received the invoice for $1450. The invoice included a charge for attorney time which we consider not necessary, a second paralegal charge to update our address and phone numbers, a paralegal charge for time to correct their errors, and charges for digital copies which we never received. We sent the Gravis attorney a complaint letter but never received a response. We considered fee arbitration, but the cost of an arbitration attorney would probably be several hundred dollars which we can’t afford. We believe that we only owe the time required to meet and sign the updated documents.

Since I had used him before to represent me on a Dui charge before and he did do great work with that one and seeing as he is so highly recommended I decided to hire him on a current situation. This time was different. He did very little as to trying to contact witnesses and basically waited for the prosecution to offer a deal that did very little to my benefit. I believe he could have done better in my case and after talking with other attorneys ( after the fact)(more than one) feel that after the money was exchanged there was little that was done on my behalf for my case. At which point I could not afford to hire another attorney and couldn't get the money back from him as his contract states if you fire him he keeps it or if he decides to quit he keeps it. His assistant/secretary was very helpful and returned my calls and messages promptly and kept me informed. He had canceled meetings more than once and didn't actually get ahold of witnesses not once. He was also very rude to my wife on more than one occasion and she very much so wanted the money back almost from the beginning but it was too late as contract had been signed already.

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.

      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.

      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.

      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.
