What could easily have been the most challenging times of my life wasn’t thanks to services provided by Eric and Blanca. I was 3 months into a separation that led to a child custody case when I suffered an injury at work. Initially I was diagnosed with a contusion by Concentra, the clinic working for my employer, I was given Tylenol and released back to work. Anxiety took hold of me like never before. In one hand, the only thing in life I knew to do was work, thinking I have no choice but to return due to the expenses of my child custody case. On the other hand, I knew there was something wrong, so much more than a “contusion,” and I have a responsibility to keep myself healthy for my son/daughter. Days after I was referred to Eric Gritz, I made the call and kept my appointment. Soon after (one week or so) I began to receive temporary disability payouts from my employers insurance company and was referred to doctors who had my best interest in mind (turns out I had fractures in my lumbar). Thanks to Eric and Blanca I was able to focus on my recovery and remained financially stable to support my family and child custody case (in which I was granted custody of my children). Needless to say, I recommend you call. I did, nothing went wrong and there could have been no better outcome for my situation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

David helped me win the maximum settlement possible after being struck by a vehicle on my bike. He was prompt, responsive, knowledgable, and most importantly, caring. He was easy to work with and took on the complicated process of negotiating a settlement so I could just focus on my recovery. I would highly recommend his expertise and service to anyone seeking assistance after a personal injury.

I was involved in a motorcycle accident in November of last year and my quest for a good accident lawyer was in full effect. David had great reviews, hence why I initially went with him. It was only a few short weeks later he came to me and said are you ready for a settlement? I was in shock with how fast he made the turn around with the car insurance company! Then it was medical insurances, which were very difficult to deal with and David caught them on many lies with his impressive knowledge of the law! He spent countless hours dealing with stubborn insurance agencies, even when it was not to his benefit. He continued to fight for me to maximize MY return. I can’t express to him how much his hard work and dedication to my case meant to me and my family! If you are seeking a confident lawyer, he is your go to man!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal services provided by Elena Smolina and Fair Cadora. From the moment I stepped into their office, I felt reassured and supported during what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life. Attorney Smolina demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and compassion throughout the entirety of my child custody case. Their knowledge of family law is unparalleled, and they navigated the complexities of my situation with ease and confidence. Communication was always clear and prompt, ensuring that I was informed and involved every step of the way. Attorney Smolina listened attentively to my concerns, provided sound advice, and devised a strategic plan that ultimately secured a favorable outcome in court. Their dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. They were not only my legal representative but also a source of support and encouragement during moments of uncertainty. Thanks to Attorney Smolina, and the rest of the Fair Cadora team, I can now move forward with confidence, knowing that the best interests of my child have been protected. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Smolina to anyone in need of expert legal counsel for family law matters. They are truly a five-star attorney in every sense of the word!

My spouse was given sole occupancy of our home after filing for divorce. Then stopped paying the mortgage after insisting to the judge that the payments would not be a problem. 5 months later I was shocked to discover that we were in Pre-Foreclosure resulting from not one single payment being made. After several meetings with potential attorneys, I chose Elena to represent me in this fight for my entire life’s savings and equity. She successfully navigated the tricky court system, a newly appointed judge, an extremely uncooperative spouse, and a treacherous timeline when every day was a ticking time bomb on my life. The result? Every judgement and court order made was in my favor. Every deadline became a lifeline. My worst fears put to rest while the stress that could have killed me, was replaced with confidence, competence, and care by a winning legal strategy. Couldn’t be more pleased. Elena, Thank you for attention and dedication to my life and the preservation of my financial investments.

6 Year Divorce War… I could only afford Mr. Freed for a couple of years. He would probably kill me for saying this… He continued to support me when I had a questions for the following 3 years while I went to trial. I won! I would not have won without his help. Over the course of the last 6 years The attorneys I have opposed have been some of the most vial human beings. He would have taken them all. The best part is that he’s got tremendous heart. He wins with the heart of a lion instead of the trickery of a jackal. Although I’m sure if needed, he could muster up plenty of the latter as well.

I endorse the Law Offices of Richard G. Freed, based on the excellent legal representation they provided me in a very contentious divorce case in 2019. This attorney did everything possible to avoid protracted litigation, but when it was not possible, he was able to achieve extremely favorable results for me on all disputed issue. I am extremely grateful and impressed with this Firm and will recommend Mr. Freed to colleagues, friends and family members in need of a tiger who can walk each client safely thru the jungle of family court proceedings. My case could have easily ended with disastrous results regarding child custody (involving our special needs infant); business valuation, income assessment, alleged breach of fiduciary duties, attorney fees and sanction requests, child and spousal support, against the backdrop of exhaustive discovery demands. Even before the divorce case began, there were restraining orders filed by both sides on the same day. Before hiring Mr. Freed, my family was denied access to my son, and I was not allowed to have him overnight or bring him to my home. It took months to get to the bottom of the false claims against me, and today he spends every weekend with me and a large loving family. Mr. Freed knew how to handle the false allegations against me and I have the exact custody and visitation schedule that works best for my son. Mr. Freed advised me through every stage of the court case. He made helpful suggestions on parenting and the things I needed to do as a new Dad. Mr. Freed helped me set goals that would prove useful at trial, and demonstrate that I was a fit and proper parent to be awarded or share custody of our toddler. Mr. Freed disposed of the restraining orders, he filed my divorce and moved the case along with confidence. This attorney and his terrific staff were there for me every step of the way, instilling confidence, trust and sound advice always encouraging me to do the right thing to best protect my interests and ensuring my ex and her attorneys were not able to bully me no matter how much they tried. New clients know right away that this attorney is a very capable advocate. He brings nearly three decades of experience to the courtroom, along with an organized, well reasoned, logical, and effective oral argument when in court and during negotiation skills out of court. The Law Offices of Richard G. Freed offer serious, no- nonsense, result oriented family law support on all types of cases in San Diego County for select clientele. If your case demands the services of a proven winner, equipped with all the tools needed to get the job done, why take chances? For me, it was one of the most stressful events in my life, and I could have easily lost everything I worked so hard for all these years. I suggest you strongly call the Law Offices of Richard G. Freed to find out why this Firm seems to be different from the rest.

Richard G. Freed was my divorce lawyer in 2010. He did a great job and I couldn't have been more satisfied with his work!! Richard was calm, well prepared and a gentleman in the office. His legal skills are cutting edge and his demeanor is confident but not arrogant. He cut through the red tape in court like a surgeon. I always felt like he was looking after my best interests. The case ended and I said thank you. Seven years later it became necessary for me to hire Richard again. My ex had not removed my name from our house loan or paid his half of our bills. Richard filed paperwork to enforce the Judgment but never had to argue the case in court because he was able to negotiate with my ex who agreed to sign an Agreement in Richard's office. Despite the divorce I get along with my ex and did not want to fight him in court. Our family were all watching and they worried about us. I never wanted any problems with my ex but was willing to go to court if necessary. I was grateful and relieved the case was settled and I would not hesitate to hire Richard in the future if the need arises.

I worked with Lauren Fair and her staff for over a year and a half. The entire time they were responsive, professional, honest and very informative. Lauren walked me through the entire process step by step. When a court date or decision needed to be made. She was honest and prepared me for all the scenarios. Her knowledge and commitment to her work shows. I always received timely responses from her and all staff members. I can not thank them enough for all they did for me. I am now divorced and was granted an out of state move away. I highly recommend Lauren Fair. Not only is she a great attorney but she truly has your best interest at heart.

Lauren was professional, sharp, knowledgeable and definitely made me feel at ease knowing that my case was being worked on efficiently and with clear communication. She empathized and knew how sensitive the situation was for me and worked diligently to ensure we were ready for the hearing. When she spoke for me at my hearing, she presented my case in a way I could not have done on my own with all I had emotionally invested. She was thoughtful in her choice of words and her demeanor in court and was very well prepared. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and my representatives at Fair Cadora, because when it comes to fighting for what you love most in this world, you really can’t put a price on it.

My experience with Lauren Fair of Fair Cadora Family Law is that she is a true professional, extremely capable, efficient and was both connected to and invested in my case … which was the Registration of a Foreign Support Order, from a foreign country. After contacting Fair Cadora, Lauren Fair returned my phone call within one hour. I was heading back overseas, however, upon my return in May 2018, I contacted Lauren again, this time with all my documents and asked the question, “Can I do this?” She must have spent some hours going through all my documents and wrote back – Yes, we can do this. This gave me hope! My contact with Ms. Fair was always quick and to the point and extremely professional and informed. She clearly knew what she was talking about. I also felt that she empathized with my situation. I also felt like she gave me her full attention. This gave me more hope! I felt that I could trust her judgment without question and in fact I absolutely trusted her at her word. I had a positive outcome to my case which is due fully to the efficient handling of my case by Ms. Fair and her associate Lindsay Sudman. I am forever grateful for my experience with Ms. Fair. Clearly at Fair Cadora they are a fine tuned team! I feel super lucky to have “found” Fair Cadora Family Law.

David helped me win the maximum settlement possible after being struck by a vehicle on my bike. He was prompt, responsive, knowledgable, and most importantly, caring. He was easy to work with and took on the complicated process of negotiating a settlement so I could just focus on my recovery. I would highly recommend his expertise and service to anyone seeking assistance after a personal injury.

I was involved in a motorcycle accident in November of last year and my quest for a good accident lawyer was in full effect. David had great reviews, hence why I initially went with him. It was only a few short weeks later he came to me and said are you ready for a settlement? I was in shock with how fast he made the turn around with the car insurance company! Then it was medical insurances, which were very difficult to deal with and David caught them on many lies with his impressive knowledge of the law! He spent countless hours dealing with stubborn insurance agencies, even when it was not to his benefit. He continued to fight for me to maximize MY return. I can’t express to him how much his hard work and dedication to my case meant to me and my family! If you are seeking a confident lawyer, he is your go to man!

Mr. DUBE' was prepared before we walked into his office. He takes a lot of time to ask questions and he listens, he explains processes and with his calm demeanor you feel confident. He confers with outside counsel to take best course of action. He cares and is a true professional. With much graditude and respect we give Doug Dube' esq. Attorney, the highest of recommendation. Great guy!

Mr. Dube' represented me in regards to my being sued by my brother. At our mother's request, I had been appointed Trustee of my brother's Special Needs trust for the previous 7 years. My brother has had a 60 year history of mental problems…diagnosed with manic depressive, obsessive compulsive disorders. He had been in and out of mental facilities for the past 40 years. Sadly this suit was depleting my brother's trust (his only means of support). Mr. Dube' stood by me with level headed advise and respect for my decisions. Mr. Dube' saw me thru the emotional ups and downs that were ever present, as is the case with most all legal entanglements. His fees were surprisingly reasonable due to his level headed handling of issues. His demeanor was one of respect for all involved. His gift is keeping our legal responses from fueling an already difficult situation. If what you want to pay for is a glitzy office and original paintings on the walls this is not an attorney for you. Mr. Dube' avoided a hostel environment where ever possible ~ knowing it would do harm to all involved and serve only to fuel higher attorney bills. Yet his strength was brought to the surface when needed to represented me with dignity. I can not recommend this professional more highly than letting you know that I will continue to recommend Mr. Dube' to my acquaintances and friends.

Finding Patrick McCrary was like hitting a home run for me. There is no one better to represent you in court, and guide you to the best outcome possible. Attorney McCrary is passionate about his work and goes above and beyond for his clients. I was blessed to work with him in an extremely difficult, high conflict case. Mr. McCrary was well versed in the Court system, and very effective in the courtroom. I cannot thank him and his staff enough for everything they did for me and my son.

Very courteous and professional and extremely smart.

  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.

    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.
