Angel Kane and her superb team made a very trying time pass as smoothly and painlessly as possible. I often had responses to my questions within minutes and if not by the end of the day. I even asked Mrs. Kane once if she ever takes a day off because she would answer my emails from all hours so quickly. The entire process was handled with a high degree of professionalism.

I was going through the hardest time of my life with fighting for the custody of my daughter. Mr. Maynard and his staff went above and beyond the call of duty! He took time to make sure I understood everything that was going to happen and every option that we could possibly face. I got custody of herAND Mr. Maynard was the 2nd attorney I had hired to represent me and my daughter. Even coming in six years after my divorce, he handled my case with professional courtesy and commitment to care and justice. I have thus since used him in two other non-family cases and he excelled in both with a positive outcome. I will always be grateful for his help and support.

Mr. Whittle is one of the best attorneys in Wilson County, who actually cares about what happens to his clients. He represented my husband in a 2017 Criminal Court case and kept his best interest first priority throughout the case. His experience, professional knowledge, and down to earth character are just a few of the reasons I recommend him. He also takes time to make sure his clients are knowledge about their entire case. He’s always available to his clients and he’s worth every Penny you give him. Great Guy. Great Attorney.

Steve is a great guy and very knowledgeable. He represented me while I was trying to settle my father's estate. Due to my father's girlfriend and her half ownership of his house it was stressful and tricky. Steve was there all the way. He addressed the drama so I didn't have to. He explained in detail what my rights were and how probate works. In the end I was able to preserve my father's memory. Steve was a major part of helping me do this.

She met with Mr. Brown and found so much comfort in what he had to share with her. He took charge, explained things that a lay person could understand. We were so very fortunate that Mr Brown was recommended to us. Although we miss our loved one, we have found someone willing to go 110% for us.

Tyler Whitaker is a weak, lazy attorney. He had an easy case to win for me, but he laid down and did nothing. He will not work hard to defend you. His line to get you to hire him is, "I golf with Judge Kane." Let me tell you, this guy works for the state. He could have easily had my case dismisssed,but instead he made excuses and quit on me. If you want a do nothing quitter, then hire Tyler Whitaker. If you want a guy that will work hard to win your case, DO NOT HIRE Tyler Whitaker!

What can I say...Chad is more to me than just my attorney. My case was long, drawn out and very emotional. Not only was he able to get me an outcome that I was very happy with, he was always there for me when I just needed to "vent". When I was looking for an attorney, I literally opened the phone book and ran my finger down the list of names and called the first one I stopped on, it was Chad. I truly believe that God lead me to him particularly because He knew that Chad was the only person that could keep me calm and grounded through my ordeal. If you need an attorney who will take a personal interest in your case, then Chad is the one for you.

My husband and I are from out of town and found ourselves in need of an attorney in the Nashville area. We consider ourselves fortunate to have hired Cody Johnson. He went above and beyond to research our situation. He proactively communicated with us throughout the entire process. He fought very hard for us and we ended up having what I would consider a “best case scenario” judgement. I would confidently recommend Cody Johnson to anyone I know in need of an attorney in the Nashville area.

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.
