Brittany was fantastic, she is very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had with confidence which really made me feel at ease. She really made me feel comfortable throughout the process. One thing that really impressed me was her honesty and willingness to help. From my experience when Brittany says she is going to do something expect she will give it 100% and then some.

Brittany Mehl has provided me with excellent services. She and her staff were very polite and very professional. She explained in great detail what I could expect with my case and made no promise or guarantee, other than she would do the best for me. True to Brittany's words, she did a great job. I highly recommend Brittany Mehl! Thank you for all your hard work.

Brittany MEHL was amazing thru my discrimination lawsuit. I am a African American and had some issues with my ex employer. I wasn't for sure if I had a good case are not but she gave me hope and we settled the case for more than I expected. I would highly recommend her if you are dealing with any discrimination case.

We received amazing legal representation from Brad Kendall (Kendall Law Group LLC) and Scott shachtman (shachtman Law Firm LLC) who were trustworthy, very caring and sensitive throughout the entire process. In addition, they were outstanding in fighting for my Son and his rights. Due to their extreme diligence and exceptional expertise the outcome was very successful. I will always appreciate their determination and attention that they gave me and my family during this difficult time. Yvonne

When I hired the #1 lawyer in KC, I had certain expectations in mind. But Ms. Hale Robinson EXCEEDED these expectations. She helped me with a divorce in getting outcomes I never thought possible. She's also currently helping me with a car accident case I suffered. Will continue to use Suzanne in any situation I need help in!

There is a reason Suzanne was voted the best in KC. She did an excellent job in my custody case. While it was stressful in nature, Suzanne was efficient, resourceful and persuasive. We were very happy with our results and her knowledge. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend people to her regularly.

Steve Gorny is a refreshingly honest attorney, especially in a field that unfortunately has a lot of shady practitioners. He is always responsive, and he's really good at explaining legal issues in simple, clear terms. He handled my particular case with both impressive confidence and expedition. I'm happy with the results, and will work with him again.

Ive had the pleasure of working side by side with Steve Gorny with my malpractice case for the past couple years. The whole time I always felt informed. I completely understood things, but if I didn't Steve would explain things to be sure I did. I believe not only was Steve extremely professional, but he has heart. He cares about the people he represents and does his absolute best to win! He has a huge amount of respect from my family. I felt completely comfortable and reassured throughout. I am entirely pleased with hiring Steve for my case. I would recommend him 1000 times over. In daily life alone its hard to find honest, compassionate people...but to find a legal representative who has those same qualities and does what he says he will, is truly humbling. Steve is an amazing lawyer, human being and I can't say it enough. Thank you.

As General Counsel for Newport Television I knew we needed an excellent bankruptcy counsel as we navigated the pool of various clients who filed bankruptcy while owing us money. Mike and his team at Husch Blackwell did a tremendous job and they were especially great about explaining complex bankruptcy issues in an easy to understand manner. I would recommend Mike's services to anyone who asked.

I was general counsel of a large bulk mineral products company. With a large customer base, there were always changes in their financial situations, including bankruptcies. Michael proved to be very innovative in maximizing our recoveries, even after a customer had defaulted and filed for bankruptcy. Because of his results, he became my go-to attorney for creditor's rights in any U.S. bankruptcy proceeding. I recommend Michael highly for bankruptcy issues and especially for creditor representation in bankruptcies.

Michael Fielding has assisted me with some difficult legal questions on several occasions on a pro bono basis. He has ALWAYS given me his complete and thorough legal expertise without skimming or hurrying over any aspect of analysis and potential risk. He returns calls and emails promptly and treats me not only with great courtesy but also with compassion. It is evident he has a clear understanding of the issues. What surprised me was his foresight into potential areas of further legal complications that I hadn’t envisioned, and the thoughtful and kind way he explained and counseled me in ways to handle my unique position that was bound with others in a tough situation. With his legal guidance, I was able to resolve the looming legal hazards. He is a man of highest integrity and honesty. Although he has been honored by peers and received other accolades, his most outstanding characteristics, for me, are his brilliant mind coupled with his heart. That is a rare combination in an attorney. I can unequivocally recommend him to you.

My son and I were in an auto accident July 2023. I reached out to several firms before I came across Foster Wallace online. After reading many reviews from other clients I knew this was the right firm to go with. Michael Foster was very caring, professional and responsive from beginning to end. He always made time to check in with us or answer any questions that we had. All of my text and emails were always answered almost immediately and if he wasn’t available, he’d set a time to be available to answer any questions. He even stopped by my office just to check in. It meant a lot that he would take the time out just to stop in. The entire team was very helpful and professional. This was my first auto accident and didn’t really know what to expect, but I had full confidence that Michael would get the best result for my son and I. Which left me worry free. He did not fail! If you’re in need of a tentative, knowledgeable and caring attorney Foster Wallace and their team are the best. Michael, thank you again for your help! We truly appreciate you!

Michael and his team were a true blessing for us throughout this entire process. From our first contact with Michael, where he took the time to fully understand our situation, to the very end, they were consistently responsive to our concerns—whether it was after hours or on the weekend. The financial outcome that this firm was able to secure for my family was beyond our expectations. However, what truly stood out to us was the exceptional level of service, the genuine care, and the unwavering commitment to making us feel heard and fought for. This personal attention and dedication were invaluable. A heartfelt thank you to Michael, Claudia, Tonia, Abbie, and the entire Foster & Wallace team.

I want to take a moment to highly recommend Foster Wallace for anyone in need of an attorney. After my car accident, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to do, but Brian immediately put me at ease. He was incredibly attentive, always making sure I was okay and thoroughly explaining each step of the process involved in resolving my case. What stood out the most was how helpful he was in answering all of my questions. No matter how small or complex my concerns were, he took the time to ensure I fully understood my options and felt comfortable moving forward. His professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care made a challenging situation so much more manageable. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also truly cares about their clients' well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Brian Wallace, Michael Foster and their incredible team. Their advice and expertise were really valuable and exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation during such a difficult time.

Kirk was an extremely great attorney.Kirk won the case for me.I could not have had any better representation in my case. The only problem was the jury selection was not good, the jury didn't understand the clear directions they received from the Judge. I believe that false accusations of racism swayed the jury against awarding damages due to me.The City of KCMO which were the defendants have never addressed the acts of retaliation against me and continue to look away from any of their problems in Management.

Michael was always thinking ahead for us cause we were dealing with a defendant who clearly knew the legal system and had done this before. Michael would communicate with us and keep us posted at all times and he would explain everything so we could understand it, many times attorneys will talk in their own language and you don;'t understand anything......not the case with Michael. I really appreciate him breaking things down so we couls understand what was happening with the case. He also does NOT drag on the case he does everything he can to wrap it up which is very refreshing. I've had many attorneys that seem to keep filing paperwork that just extends the case and I just keep paying lawyer fees, Michael is NOT that guy.

Sophie helped me on a personal injury case. She was great. Very professional and very honest. She never tried to push me in any direction, offered honest guidance and specific legal advice. She always made me feel like my small case was just as important as any of the big cases. Sophie is also very down to earth and easy to relate and talk to, things that I feel are a huge asset to developing a great attorney/client relationship. Sophie walked me through each step of the process so I was never caught off guard. And she fought hard, really hard, to get me the best settlement she could. I think the best review I can give would be that while I hope I never have to use an attorney again, if I did it would be her.

Ms. Woodworth was responsive to my needs. Her law firm was highly recommended by another attorney. I needed someone to negotiate a severance agreement for me. She was extremely knowledgeable and was able to offer me all of my options in the initial meeting. She was able to help me resolve my issues in a very timely manner and was able to get a great outcome for me. I was able to settle with my former employer in less than two weeks. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has an issue with a former employer.

I hired attorney Joshua Wunderlich after being wrongfully terminated by my employer. After consulting with Mr. Wunderlich and having him review the facts and documentation I was able to provide, he accepted my case. Although he couldn't make any promises, he worked tirelessly and diligently to bring about a favorable outcome. He kept me informed and updated throughout the entire process, and was always prompt in getting back to me when I had questions. He was thorough and stayed on top of things. I felt like he cared about me personally and was committed to seeing that justice was brought about. I highly recommend this attorney.

Keith is non-judgmental and understanding. He kept me well informed during my long, drawn out case. I know that his passion, dedication, and expertise is why I am able to pursue my dreams.

I had an automobile accident which was my fault. The policeman that gave me the citation told me I was looking at a fairly large fine, probable points on my license and possibly driving school classes. To make matters worse, I totaled my car and knew my insurance rates would skyrocket. I was surprised that my court date fell on a Saturday, but Mr. O'Conner was in court with me early on a Saturday morning. I ended up paying a lowered fine, no points off my license and my insurance rates didn't go up very much. Mr. O'Connor has worked for the DA's office, so knows the system and how it works, from the inside out. He is always professional but is also a very kind and caring person. He is a highly energetic gentleman who knows how to get things done. I highly recommend him for anyone who needs an attorney,

I contacted Mr. Adler in March 2021 about a car accident I was in the year before. I was frustrated from trying to set myself with my insurance company who deduced my injuries to my age (I am 42). Immediately he asked if he could contact me which stood out from nearly every other lawyer i contacted that week who was calling me like a bill collector. As soon as I spoke to Mr. Adler he was kind and honest. I met with him a couple of days later, where we started the process and literally by June he got me my policy amount of $100,000! Thank you Mr. Adler.

He was real with us from the start. Other lawyers told us they didn't know how to handle our case. Or that I didn't have enough evidence to go forward. But he knew there was a shot at it and when we dug further we knew that the risk was worth the shot and we could win big time. This lawyer knows his stuff. And he's humane meaning if he helps you, it's because he knows he can. If he can't he will let you know from the start and not just take your money. Every case is different. My case was a little complicated at the beginning and no lawyer wanted to help me except him. Even the 777-7777 lawyers turned me down. Famous ones on tv. But this lawyer tried to dig in and see if there was a chance instead of asking a couple questions and immediately declining. Everything you could want and more in an accident personal injury lawyer, he has.

If I had to recommend an attorney to anyone else--friends, family, or acquaintances--it would be Brian Franciskato. In working with Brian for almost three years, I found him to be the most complete legal representative anyone could ask for. His work was meticulous, his replies and explanations were immediate and complete, and his friendly demeanor reinforced his commitment to our lawsuit. We never doubted his determination to succeed or his certainty that he would. Any questions on our part were answered immediately and in detail, with Brian's usual good humor and understanding. We never had occasion to criticize any of his dealings with us or with his goals to resolve our case successfully, which he did. From Day One and my first conversation with Brian, I had complete confidence in his experience, his abilities, and his years of successful representation. And all of this was enhanced by his winning personality and dedication to those he represented. We do not live in Brian's home state of Missouri, but that was never a consideration or a problem for him, or for us. He was even a guest in our home in our introductory meeting. Despite the usual pitfalls over the time frame of the case, Brian never faltered or foresaw a failure. And in the long run, he did as he had promised when he achieved an entirely suitable settlement. When our case closed, it was capped by an exchange of mutual respect and goodwill. If a situation was ever to arise that required legal representation again, I would not settle for any attorney other than Brian Franciskato.

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.
