My experience with Mr. Khan and his firm was very recent. Before speaking with him, I reached out to numerous attorneys and my previous attorney was of no help. I'd lost all hope and thought that my life was going to go in a horrible direction. And then I reached out to Foglight Law. Mr. Khan dealt with me in a straightforward, non-pretentious and down to earth way. Also, he handled my case with flying stars and thanks to his intervention and advocacy, I can say that I am in a far far far better economic position. He is brilliant, honest, ethical and carries a strong sense of justice. When it comes to attorneys, he has surpassed all my expectations. If you need an attorney, I highly recommend T. Khan at Foglight Law. He is the absolute BEST! Thank you so very much, Mr. Khan.

Thanks Foglight! T. Khan helped me with a traffic matter. I was driving and was arrested for a warrant which is a misdemeanor and he got it reduced to an infraction! Even though the DA was being really strict with me trying to give the max fine and penalty.. I'm not sure how you did it but thanks for being there for me!

I hired Mr. Urbanic and his team for a wrongful termination/sexual harassment issue and I am able to now enjoy the fruits of his labor. I was able to trust Mr. Urbanic and his team throughout the process and I always felt that I was in good hands. Mr. Urbanic was always willing to take time to speak to me and explain the stages of the lawsuit which put me at ease. The attention that Mr. Urbanic and his team gave to even the most miniscule of details left me impressed. Mr. Urbanic was able to tear the opposing side's defense piece by piece, it was truly incredible to watch. Mr. Urbanic is tough and fearless against his opponents, he's everything I imagined a highly-skilled and seasoned attorney would be and much more!

I’m writing this, 1 year after my lawsuit, and I’m still in awe of what James was able to accomplish for me. I’m beyond satisfied with the end result to my case, and I want to commend James for his dedication to me and to my case and for everything he was able to do for me. I can say with honesty that I’m not sure where I would be if it were not for him and his team. From the very start of our case, I witnessed James and his team fight for me from beginning to end and I will never, ever forget that. I highly recommend James Urbanic to anybody who is looking for an outstandingly talented lawyer.

I was so beaten down and depressed from the complex wrongful termination from my work, that it was difficult for me to explain to James what happened to me. But I knew strongly in my heart that it was wrong the way that I was treated by my place of work. So with James kindness and patience, experience, and being knowledgeable and an expert in his field, I felt like I could relax, and that I was safe and protected because I was in good hands, and I could trust him explicitly. My case was very complex and James and his Team were experts with gathering and organizing my information. James explained things clearly to me and I was well prepared for my depositions. He was always available. In his depositions of the defendants, he was able to uncover the discriminating information that helped us favorably. It was awesome and reassuring to see how well respected James is in his field. Seeing how well respected he is helped me realize I had definitely made the right choice. But it is just one of the ways. James is so smart and perceptive and is really the Best at what he does!! I will forever be grateful to James for his caring and expert work. I feel very blessed to have had him for my attorney and I will highly recommend him to others that want the BEST help with Employment Law cases. Very Sincerely Grateful Client

Ms. Slavkin has represented me a number of times in business-related matters. I have had considerable experience with lawyers over the years, and would rate her among the best on a number of levels. Of the matters she has had to litigate for me, I have found her knowledgeable, scrupulously honest in her billings, well-prepared and a force to be reckoned with. She is undefeated relative to those matters. In other matters, she has successfully avoided what would otherwise be expensive litigation in favor of a more practical negotiated approach which, in each instance, solved my problem without "leaving anything" on the negotiating table. In those rare instances when my needs have been outside her scope of expertise, she was able to refer me to competent counsel, and continued to monitor that matter nevertheless. I no longer look anywhere else when looking for legal counsel. I heartily recommend her.

Wendy Slavkin has ben my attorney for close to 18 years. She had come highly recommended to me by a prominent attorney and has been an invaluable member of my professional team advising me on a wide range of business related legal issues. A couple of years ago I saw her in action as she defended me in a jury trial in a malicious, meritless employee termination case. She professionally, systematically, and impressively dismantled the prosecutions case and won a decisive judgment in my favor. Over the years, I have recommended Wendy to numerous friends who, like myself, have come to rely on her without reservation. She really is a special kind of person and lawyer.

All I can say is Ms. Toubi is a star. Tenant/landlord disagreement that ran for 6 years. I was the tenant dealing with the most unreasonable landlord. I reported them to agencies and the landlord's attorney to The State Bar. No help whatsoever. Enter Ms Toubi... how she could be in a room with these people I will never know. Despite outright lies from landlord's attorney to her, Ms. Toubi remained professional and on point. The best possible outcome came my way. I won despite the thug tactics of ownership, her management company and her attorney. Ms. Toubi is smart, professional with an attention to detail. She laid out all possible scenarios and worked with me to resolve this matter. I get to move on with my life, and I have an attorney for life!

Mrs. Eideh has amazing communication skills, emailed me almost everyday giving me an update of whats going on with my case. Totally worth it!

I could not have been happier. Every time I called or emailed Seth he responded to me promptly; he answered thoroughly every question I had, big or small.

Why should I spend money on attorney if I can just do it by myself??? Attorney Arnaout is very smart. She talked to meike a real person and understood what I went through with my ex. She was pulling information out of me and telling me what to put in my statement and n she made me get letters from my friends and even helped me to prepare to interview with officer. In the end, I got my permanent green card! I'm so happy I hired attorney Arnaout and did not try to do it myself.

Atty. Madeline was very professional and compassionate for the eviction case against the tenants who used every attempt to delay the process. The tenants used different tactics: covid, avoided service, uninhabitability, and bankruptcy twice. Each time she was able to defend and also, recoup for our losses, and win against the tenants. When I was frustrated, she was reassuring and confident in our case, which reduced a lot of stress and fear due to the situation. I am definitely, glad that I hired her and hopefully, never have this situation again, but would and have gladly referred her to others landlords that need help with eviction and were unsuccessful.

I was faced with a situation where my neighbor had unjustly built a structure encroaching on my property which jeopardized my property. I consulted with a prominent real estate attorney who told me that I had to incur 3 years of legal battles as well as around $100,000.00 of expenses with no certain positive outcome. I was very much devastated, sad and desperate since I thought that common sense and justice should not put me in such a dilemma. Luckily, a friend recommended Valerie to me and I immediately contacted her. She was very understanding, knowledgable and set immediately to remedy the situation to my advantage. She came to my property, inspected it and got first hand information about the situation. She set a date to meet the neighbors and came fully prepared with all kinds of documents that forced the opposing party to agree to demolish the encroaching structure to my full satisfaction. Without Valerie's help I would have not accomplished this goal. I am very grateful to have Valerie as my attorney. I highly recommend her for any issues regarding real estate law and property disputes. She is a real Hero.

I was having a hard time making my son, a college graduate, see that the business deal he thought he had was not really there. So I arranged a consultation with attorney Neil Popowitz who, besides being an outstanding Real Estate attorney, also has an MBA and a lot of business law experience. After the introductions Mr. Popowitz tactfully drew out my son to tell him his business predicament. Mr. Popowitz listened patiently, asked my son some key questions and gave us his opinion. My son paid close attention and so did I. At the end of our consultation my son clearly saw he did not have a good business proposition from "his friend". Another words, there was no real upside potential for him on the proposed deal. So he avoided making a potentially costly mistake. My son and I are sure there will be other business deals for him with real upside potential. Also,Neil provided him with good business contacts. Thank you Neil Popowitz for your excellent business and common sense advise.

In late 2007 I was with a stockbroker from New York. At first everything seemed ok and then everything went bad very quickly. The agent was making unauthorized trades over $1,150,000 on margin when my account had about $ 240,000 in equity. I really did not understand what was happening. When I contacted Richard Stephens, He was very Professional and reassuring. Mr. Stephens. then reviewed the files, did his own investigation and found that the brokerage firm was using an unregistered securities firm, further that the brokers were involved in fraudulent activities and conduct. Mr. Stephens decided a course of action and filed a complaint with FINRA. During the FINRA hearings the brokerage firm was always late, witnesses not available and many other reasons to delay. Mr. Stephens was very aggressive in stopping these actions and bringing out what really happened. Mr. Stephens expertise and presentation to the FINRA hearing officers resulted in a positive outcome for me. From the start to the finish Mr. Stephens was always available and kept me updated at all times on what was happening. .I firmly believe that Mr. Stephens is a honest and fair man. As an Attorney it is my opinion that there is no finer or more capable than Richard Stephens. If I ever need another attorney, I will definitely contact Mr. Stephens. I recommend without any reservation Richard Stephens to any person who needs an attorney or legal guidance. I say this because, after loosing my retirement money, he gave me back my life and I am very thankful.

After a close relative passed away, I needed a probate lawyer who I could trust and be comfortable with. Since I live in Canada, I was not familiar at all with California’s legal system. I needed a lawyer that could offer piece of mind and whom I could trust given the long distance working relationship. I was refered to Alexander by a friend who lives in LA. I found Alexander to be very easy to talk to, professional and friendly. He answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable with the probate process. He always answered my questions in a timely manner and kept me informed as the process moved along. I certainly do not regret hiring Alexander and would recommend to anyone looking for a good, reliable and knowledgeable probate lawyer.

I had a consultation with Alexander Ginzburg on the phone regarding a divorce. He provided me with undivided attention and was very patient and courteous. He talked to me for more than the usual 20 minute consultation, but never rushed to end our call. He provided me with all of the information I needed and was very empathetic. Just want to say thank you once again and would recommend this lawyer to everyone.

Lauren is an outstanding attorney. She was my voice when I did not have one. Her compassion and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I had no idea what was ahead of me and she was there every step of the way. Lauren had my best interests at all times, prompt and open for all calls and quick updates and worked through all of my many questions and issues on my case. She put my mind at ease numerous times throughout my difficult divorce. I would highly recommend Lauren Youngman for your family law attorney.

I don't even know where to start... Lauren has not only managed for me and my (equally stubborn) ex to settle out of court. She has also been absolutely AMAZING throughout the whole process. To be honest I have no words to describe how much she has helped me. She is not just a great, competent lawyer with an extremely high level of professionalism -she is also genuine, great person. Just the kind of person you want by your side dealing with important issues in your life. Even though my divorce and even more so the child support was messed up when I first met Lauren, she instantly got the picture. She has handled the somewhat complicated matter efficiently and also had the needed knowledge of international law as well. All in all, Lauren has always been completely on top of things and I just feel so grateful to have met her. We all know that lawyers in this city can be a piece of work and maybe even add to the drama - and make the bills add up too. So to meet someone as genuine, knowledgable and reasonable as Lauren has been a true blessing. If only I had met her sooner!

Truly an amazing team of lawyers! I worked with Lauren on a family law case, but had a little bit of help from Ron and Barbara as well. Lauren was fantastic to work with. It was not an easy or pleasant process to go through, but Lauren was right there with me the whole time. She worked so hard and was always on top of things and managed to relieve a huge amount of stress for me during the whole process. Not only is she great at her job, but you really feel like she cares, and that she was doing everything in her power to achieve the best outcome for me and my family.

Ryan is an excellent lawyer. He has helped me a few times and has always exceeded expectations. He is helpful and he would walk me through processes and explain things to me in a way that made it really easy to be on the same page as him. He is reliable and easy to get ahold of. I would hire him again and would definitely recommend him to a friend as well.

I live in a building that isn’t well cared for despite rental hikes and I wound up breaking my foot after slipping down some stairs. I met Ryan through a mutual friend and he agreed to help me with my case. I was pleased with how professional he was, responding to me in a timely manner and helping me understand that no, it wasn’t my fault that I fell (the stairs were wet and the roof was leaking). He guided me through the entire process and really allowed me to worry less about the legal matters and more about healing my injury.

Thank goodness for Jackie! My dad recently got a first time Felony DUI. Our family was very scared and had no idea what to do. We knew we had to get a attorney and we interviewed many. Jackie was the only one that made us feel comfortable. She was honest and confident. She was there to answer a million questions that we had. My dad ended up with a misdemeanor. Thank you Jackie for everything! Our family appreciate you!

I wrongfully received my first traffic violation after 15 years of driving, and was greatly concerned about the long-term financial ramifications. I couldn't afford for my insurance to go up. Mrs. Adams assured me, with her help, it wouldn't. Not only was she right, but it couldn't have been any easier. She handled everything from there. And I'm happy to say, the ticket was rightfully dismissed.

Richard is a great lawyer. He handles cases with the utmost care and concern. He also returns telephone calls and responds to his own emails. He litigated my case against a large insurance company when they refused to pay me for my substantial loss. In the end, the insurance company lost all of its motions in court and the case was ultimately resolved in my favor. I thank Richard Rosenstein for all his hard work on my case and I recommend him without hesitation.

  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.

    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.
