We were first referred to Anthony Russo in 1993 when we purchased our home. From that experience and several others through the years, I must concur with every accolade I have read in all the other reviews. Anthony's "desk side manner" is compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient: everything one needs in what might otherwise be a stressful process when working with a lawyer. This also applies to every one of his staff with whom we have had contact. On the other end, he is efficient and proficient at the law with minimal stress to his clients (specifically myself and my husband) he gets the best outcome with seeming ease. 35 years later, from the experience of purchasing our home with his help, I carry great affection for Anthony and his team.

First time home buyer. Erik made this process as comfortable and as easy as can be. Extremely knowledgable and was able to hash out any issues with our contract negotiations. I’m recommending him to everyone I know looking for counseling. He’s simply a great guy who wouldn’t suggest anything he wouldn’t for himself. You’re in great hands hiring him.

Jackie Giorgio represented us when we sold our house. Jackie is very good at communicating what needs to be done to make the process run smoothly. If we called her office and she was not available, she would return the phone call without delay. It was a pleasure working with Jackie and would highly recommend her.

Where do I begin , on top of being one of the best lawyers..., And is amazing in every way. No matter how bad the situation that you might be facing Timmy just has this calm about him. That makes you feel at ease in the courtroom and out of the courtroom. He generally cares about every client that he takes on and we all know how many clients he has. But always finds the time to make sure you know what's going on with your case. I recommend him to every person that I ever meet I previously lost my fiance this past year and he knew what a difficult time I was going through mentally financially physically. I can never explain in words how grateful and appreciative I was looking enough to have him to represent me. To everyone there reading this don't let the long gray hair fool you lol. He's definitely one of the top lawyers in Nassau county Court. I will always be forever grateful that he beat almost all my charges. A++++. Anyone thinking of hiring him to represent them in court no need to think any further he is the best I'm internally grateful for everything that you have done for me .

Timothy Aldridge is by far the worst lawyer I’ve ever seen. Please, refuse counsel if he is your only option. I’ve seen this man ruin countless lives because all he cares about is how many clients he has, does not care about his cases. He automatically enters a plea deal without even looking at his cases. He makes his clients seem like their only option is a deal or prison. He drags on cases for months or even years. I’ve seen multiple people run up to him and beg him to do more for their cases only for him to say “he’s busy” and run off. Yes, he’s busy because he has 100 clients at a time. And those clients unknowingly about to get their lives ruined by him. He’s license to practice law should be revoked

Beth is amazing. She helped me with purchasing my first home and selling it. She is very knowledgeable and broke everything down to me so that I understood the foreign language of contracts. She made me feel confident and I knew she had my best interest in mind when both buying and selling my home. She is very professional and responded to all of my emails and phone calls. She made this extremely stressful process painless and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with. Everyone buying or selling their home should have a Beth in their lives!

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.
