I recently had the pleasure of working with Law Offices of Robert Brennan, and I could not have been more impressed with the level of professionalism and expertise that they brought to my case. From the moment I talked to Lilli, I knew that the information I was providing would be taken seriously. Having a company distort your financial record can wreck once life; as one can imagine. Lilli not only made me feel welcomed but also at ease. Throughout the entire process, Sergio (Paralegal) kept me informed and up-to-date on every aspect of my case. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had, no matter how complex the question. Never once, did I feel out of touch with the law firm. His responses were always timely and never left me with lingering questions. I cannot speak highly enough about Robert (Bob) Brennan. Not only did he take the time to fully explain my case, but was also a great negotiator, who had my best interest at heart. I can not thank him enough for all the work he and his team has done for me. I was truly impressed and believe they achieved the best possible outcome for me. Their dedication to their work, I believe is the reason for the outcome of my case. Their tireless work on my behalf, showed that they truly cared about my case and my well-being. In the end, their hard work paid off, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would highly recommend Robert Brennan to anyone in need of legal representation. They are truly the best in the business, and I am grateful for everything they have done for me.

Bob and his team are true professionals and handled everything for me. I had two cases going simultaneously, one for car dealership fraud, and the other was a traffic collision caused by a drunk driver. Bob lead with coordination, communication, and advice that could not have been better. Both cases ended very successful for my family. These were not quick settlements. Bob walked me through the system and explained why documents were needed. They really took care of me and my family. Thank you Bob to you and your team.

Christie Asselin Helped me in the Breach of Contract Claim. I had made a personal loan to a friend that stopped paying mid way through the payment schedule. From the beginning, Christie was a voice of confidence, professionalism, clarity, reliability and understanding. 10 minutes after my first conversation with her I felt very confident I had contacted the right person to help me deal with this emotional situation. For the first time in months, I felt that someone really WOULD be able to assist me, and she did. Due to a strong work ethic, Strong communication skills and a meticulous nature, She was able to keep this matter out of courtroom, and I am now receiving monthly checks again. Thank You Christie Asselin! I will definitely be recommending her services.

I went to Ms. Badalyan after my accident. Not only was she easy to talk to but it really seemed like she cared about everything I had to say. But beyond this, she was extremely knowledgeable. I have a lot of friends who had hired other lawyers for their accidents and they were so upset because they were never kept in the loop about their case and their lawyers would not return their calls. I never had this issue with Ms. Badalyan which is why I recommend her. She was a pleasure to work with, she made a stressful situation easier but above all she was a wonderful advocate.

I went to Mrs. Badalyan for my personal injury case. She was very professional and listened to all of my needs very well. She was quick to resolve my case and went above and beyond in every regard. She got me way more than what I was looking for and she zealously defended my interests against a ruthless opposing attorney who did not want to play fair. She almost kept me in the loop very often throughout the entire process and was incredibly honest with me about everything. I could not have asked for more from an attorney. I would recommend her to everyone. I don't typically write reviews but I felt compelled to write this one because of how happy I was with her representation. Thank you for reading my review!

James was a pleasure to work with. He's intelligent, knowledgeable, and a detail-oriented professional that's truly on your side. His background in working with children that have disabilities is very impressive. He understands first hand of what children that have challenges go through day to day. Not only in the academic setting, but in their personal development as well. He works in the best interest of his clients, and produces great results knowing more than just the legality of the matters at hand. James represents his clients with more of a personal understanding. He demonstrates care and compassion. He practices with emphasis on how important it is to meet the needs of those with disabilities, and how it impacts their all-around development. When seeking an attorney to advocate for a child with special needs, it's important that the representing Attorney understands the systematic issues to better address them.

I had been traumatized by a prior lawyer who was a disaster, so I approached this with a lot of skepticism. But George and his team restored my faith. I cannot express how grateful I am to have been referred to George at Paijuk Law. After being involved in two rear-end accidents within the past two years—California drivers, right?—I was devastated and overwhelmed with stress. George and his team were incredibly attentive and communicative throughout the entire process. No headaches, no guesswork, and no need to push them to get things done. They were on top of everything, making the experience completely seamless. If you need a lawyer, do yourself a favor and contact Paijuk Law. You won’t regret it. Ya'll are amazing!

If anything is a testament to the brilliancy and legal acumen of Metis Law group, during mediation, the mediator informed both me and Zhana the settlement for my case was one of the highest he's ever seen given the nature of the main complaint. Unlike the corporate firms whose business model is sustained through a case load of high-volume but often low-settlement offers and less customization for clients , Zhana personalizes each case and actually puts in the work to get you, the client, the MAX settlement. This is the difference between a couple thousand dollars and a six-figure settlement. Zhana also answered several of my emails and calls a day in order to palliate and absorb my high-octane- stress levels from the psychological warfare of my disreputable landlord. Not only is Zhana an excellent attorney, but she also has become a friend to me too.

It's not easy to find a firm that can represent you as if it was their own family, Arpa and Zhana did!! When I felt lost, with no hope for justice, these 2 STRONG and DETERMINED women didn't allow my brother and I to get bullied, taken advantage of by scumlords. They do their research, and make sure to keep in constant domination with us. Thank you for always replying to my emails, for calming me down when the memories of what our landlords put us through angered me. Thank you for fighting to make SURE we get as closed as possible to the policy limits. Romel was such a patient person during discovery responses, so compassionate and understanding of my anger towards this unfortunate situation. His excellent way of explaining the questions and scenarios were so helpful. Natalie is such a compassionate and patient person. She's GREAT at keeping us posted with any changes. Both Romel and Natalie possess something that no collage can teach .... GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. THANK YOU METIS LAW GROUP FOR WINNING OUR CASE. We will recommend them to anyone have problems with their landlords that feel no hope for justice. Love you all SO MUCH!!!! THANK YOU!!

We hired Surisa Rivers after being referred from a friend. It was the best decision we could've made! Ms. Rivers is professional, kind, prompt, and works well with the opposing party. She always kept us informed and was always available to explain anything to us. What is truly remarkable about Ms. Rivers is that you can tell she truly loves what she does and loves helping people. She will represent your child with an assertive attitude and get the very best results! We were so pleased with the outcome of our case and now our son is getting the education he deserves. We can't thank her enough for what she did in such a short period of time. Our experience was remarkable!

I was in a car accident last year and things have finally settled. I was rear ended, two cars were involved and both were fighting over who's fault it was. This was becoming complicated and it became clear I needed help. I was referred to Armen's office through my doctor that I went to go see after my accident. Armen himself got on the phone and explained the process and answer any questions I had. I was able to get treatment for my injuries, get my car fixed and compensated for my pain and suffering. Thank you Armen and Erick for all your hard work and keeping me up to date through out the process. So thankful to have someone work through this mess with me.

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.
