Patrick Wilson did an amazing job defending my son. He was not only totally professional at all times but completely understanding and compassionate towards a mother's concerns. Patrick's expertise brought about results that delivered more than we hoped for. We are more than grateful and highly recommend Patrick Wilson.

5 stars do not do this man justice. Professional. Authentic. Honest. Patrick Wilson was introduced to me by the senior partner of the latest law firm that I had hired. I was informed that Pat is the DUI specialist in the firm and he would be taking the lead on my case. At this point I had already hired two other criminal defense attorneys and spent 3 years in county jail on a no-bond pretrial detention order. Pat came to see me at the county jail and I explained to him my situation. Right away he asked me a series of questions that the other attorneys never did. His experience in his profession and criminal defense cases shined through right away. During our consultations, he provided a lot of insight about my case. Unknown information is the greatest contributor to fear. Pat very quickly earned my trust because he was honest, hardworking, and unique. He did not make promises or give me unrealistic expectations and was not afraid to deeply dissect situations and entertain the possible outcomes. He made me feel less afraid in the toughest moment in my life because he gave me hard facts and not theories. I received more useful information through his consultations than I did with my other paid attorneys. The discussions were clear and the proposed outcomes were realistic. Which in turn created a bond between Pat and myself that soon turned into a friendship. The best thing about Pat is that he is the type of attorney I could trust— both in character and skill sets. At this point Pat and my legal team came in for a conference as usual. We went over depositions, expert witness preparations, and strategies. After an exhausting couple hours, I was informed that Pat had far exceeded the rate of growth that the firm could sustain and would be opening his own practice. As you can imagine, my heart dropped here. I am in jail and the shooting star of an attorney that was handling my case was leaving. Well, that was not the case because Pat assured me that he would see my case through to the end. Throughout the process of court, Pat was always by far the most enthusiastic and engaging attorney. This was true throughout the multitude of court dates. One court date in particular, Pat recognized an opportunity to speak to the ASA to negotiate a deal even if he felt at the time that it was difficult. He went for it anyways. His ability to sense and seize an opportunity is due to his experience and his confidence in his skill sets. Pat did not turn away from “difficult” and “uncomfortable” situations; he was able to land an unheard deal for me. Every dollar spent on hiring Pat was more than worth it. I cannot be more satisfied with his service. He is an honest professional who truly keeps his client’s best interest and outcome in the highest regard. Today I am able to live my life in full again because of him. I highly recommend Patrick Wilson.

I couldn’t be more grateful for Mr. Clark, Sharon, and the countless others that worked my case. Going through a divorce and a custody battle is not easy and took a lot longer than I would have liked, but Mr. Clark did an incredible job every step of the way. He answered every single question I had (and trust me, I had a lot) and he made sure that I understood everything that would, and could, happen throughout the process. He didn’t sugar coat anything and kept my expectations realistic, while also ensuring he would do what was needed. If you want someone like Harvey Specter from Suits to work your case then Mr. Clark is definitely your guy. He makes sure he is completely prepared before he enters the court room, is completely professional and doesn’t even let the smallest of hiccups effect him. Thanks to him and his team I was able to walk out of the court room completely satisfied with the outcome. Hopefully I will never need his services again, but if I do then I know that mine and my sons future is in good hands. Thanks again Mr. Clark, your expertise is unmatched and I wouldn’t be surprised if you open up your own law firm one day.

I had the privilege of working with Fernanda and her outstanding team at Melga Law, and I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional service. They helped me obtain my EB-1A visa and Green Card in record time. Their professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were second to none. From our first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. Fernanda took the time to understand my unique situation and needs, and they worked tirelessly to ensure that all aspects of my application were thoroughly prepared and submitted on time. Throughout the entire process, they were always available to answer any questions I had and provide guidance and support. Their communication was clear, prompt, and always professional, which gave me the confidence and peace of mind I needed during what could have been a stressful time. Thanks to Fernanda and her team, I was able to obtain my EB-1A visa and Green Card, and I could not have done it without their expertise and dedication. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of immigration services, and I am grateful for their outstanding work.

When you're dealing with a situation related to immigration you will most certainly find yourself lost in the drudgery of research, dead ends, missed steps taken and absolute frustrations. Gina will be your guide. She has an ability to take such an arduous journey and show you the path clearly. It still won't be a fun process but if you trust in Gina you will certainly get through it. She is efficient and very fair. I used the word "Human" in my title because working with her is much more like chatting with a close friend than dealing with a lawyer. She is one of the good ones!!

I am extremely thankful to Gina Polo. My case situation was very difficult – with almost no hope of a positive outcome – but Gina responded in a way that not only was able to help with the case, but almost miraculously turned it in to a positive outcome. Because of her knowledge, professionalism and incredibly quick action - and because of her great advise and counsel, my delicate situation was solved in a matter of a few days - which was unheard of in my particular scenario. She is very trustworthy, professional and knowledgeable. I recommend Gina Polo very highly.

Mr. Ramey has handled several traffic issues for me in the past - alleged super speeding, school bus passing, and red light violations (among other things) – and my charges have always been dropped or reduced (no points!!). I'm a busy girl with more to do than attend hearings, and I'd rather not admit guilt by paying the fine (and risk upping my insurance), so I always consult Mr. Ramey no matter how minor the ticket. (Rolling stop, fender-bender...I've called up his office at least a half-dozen times over the past ten years and have recommend him just as often.) A girlfriend of mine recently got into a bit of trouble. Not to get into details, but the charge was more involved than my usual petty ticket, and I (of course) referred her to Mr. Ramey. Mr. Ramey was not able to work on the case directly, but his associate, Gregory Bianco worked magic and got all charges dropped. She could not be happier, and I'm just glad Mr. Bianco was able to provide the same level of service I promised her Mr. Ramey would.

Divorce is stressful and he made my experience much better by reassuring and guiding me to make the best decisions. I recommend him highly. Thank you Brett.

From the moment I met Brett Schultz I knew he was the attorney I needed. He guided me through my divorce from start to finish and even accompanied me to the County Recorders office for my Quit Claim Deed when my divorce was finalized. He made a painful experience less intimidating and I'm forever grateful to him.

Practicing the profession with passion, knowledge and dedication is not something that all professionals can develop throughout their career, I have found Barry to be the most serious and responsive immigration lawyer. During a process of exactly 2 years he has accompanied me, and guided me to accomplish the legal goals of an immense and at times almost endless road, but his professionalism and ability led me to obtain the best result. Eternal thanks to Barry and his team for the immense accomplishment of having me become a Resident of the United States.

Hace tres años fui a la oficina del abogado Barry Lieber. Hoy por fin obtengo mi Residencia Permanente. Han sido tres años de mucho trabajo, paciencia, perseverancia, ayuda, terapia, pero el objetivo se logró. Vine al Sr. Lieber por recomendación y mi caso fue difícil de ganar, pero lo hicimos. El Sr. Barry sabe lo que hace, es muy inteligente, capaz, estratega, audaz y nunca ha perdido un caso VAWA. Lo recomiendo 100%, haga todo lo que sugiere para ganar el caso. Los casos de Vawa son largos pero seguros. Deben tener mucha paciencia, dejarse guiar y ayudar por el mejor de Florida, Barry Lieber. Lo que más me gustó fue la honestidad del Sr. Lieber, desde el primer día me dijo que este era un caso difícil pero no imposible, y también me dijo que el tiempo mínimo era de dos años (COVID19). Mi recomendación es que elija al Sr. Leiber como su abogado de VAWA y ganará su caso. Three years ago I went to the office of attorney Barry Lieber. Today I finally get my Permanent Residence. It has been three years of hard work, patience, perseverance, help, therapy, but the goal is perfected. I came to Mr. Lieber on a recommendation and my case was hard to win, but we did it. Mr. Barry knows what he's doing, he's very smart, capable, strategist, fearless and has never lost a VAWA case. I recommend him 100%, do everything he suggests to win the case. Vawa's cases are long but sure. They must be very patient, let themselves be guided and helped by the best in Florida, Barry Lieber. What I liked the most was the honesty of Mr. Lieber, from the first day he told me that this was a difficult case but not impossible, and he also told me that the minimum time was two years (COVID19). My recommendation is that you choose Mr. Lieber as your VAWA attorney and you will win your case.

I Contacted Mr. Larry McMillan As Well As Five Other Attorneys For Consultion. As A Result I Chose Larry Due To His Eager Interest In My Case. His Prepartion From The Beginning To The End Of The Case Was Phenomenal. I Was Looking At A 10 Year Mandatory Sentence Plus 5 Years Coming To A Total Of 15 Years. After Many Attorneys Told Me I Would Not Be Able To Get A Better Plea Then 10 Years. Larry Got On My Case And Faught For Me, I Ended Up Receiving Credit Time Serve For 12 Months Credit And Probation. My Point Is That Larry McMillan Will Fight For You, Anwser All Your Text, Calls, E-Mails And Questions Until The Very End To Assure That You Are Satisfied With The Plea. He Keeps His Word And I Can Honestly Say He Is One Of The Best Defense Attorneys In Miami Hands Down. Thank You Larry

I was charged for the DV injunction. it was the first time I had to go to the court in my life, so everything was not easy for me. I walked into his office and explained him my case. He listened to me and explained what he will do for me. He didn't seem just an attorney, but someone who cared about me and my future. At the same time, I also consulted with several other attorneys to select the best possible attorney for myself based on my situation. You know, when it comes to our future you want to know that our lawyer is doing his all for us. After considering several parameters, I realized he is the best lawyer for me and I have more chance with him to win. He put enormous time and energy into helping me and finally my case was dismissed. I believe he saved my future and my life. I really appreciate his help and I will never forget him in my life. Even after the court, I still need his services and his advice when I am filling out some forms and I don't know how should I answer some questions regarding the background check. He still answers all of my questions in a timely manner. His advice and service are priceless for me. Mr. Larry Mcmillan provided outstanding services for his client. I believe he has vast experience with dealing with civil and criminal cases. I highly recommend Mr. Larry Mcmillan to the reader of this review.

Cant say enough about Greg. He always had time for me, even when he didn't lol. On more than one occasion we spoke during a federal holiday, which at least for me, goes to show the level of commitment he has to his clients. Any questions or concerns I had I could always reach out to him, and know he'd get back to me as soon as he could. He was also quick to make sure I knew things as soon as he did, and I never once felt left in the dark. He also really made me feel like he was on my side, not like an atrorney, but more like a friend. That said, Greg was always extremely professional and never sugar coated things. As much as we both hoped for the outcome we ultimately got, he made sure I was aware of all the posibilities that existed, and educated me in a way that made me feel as in control as I could in a moment when things definitely feel out of one's control. Although I hope I never have to, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends or family finding themselves in need of his services. Thanks again for helping me through everything and ultimately getting me the outcome I/we wanted. You're the best!

He was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for us. From our first meeting, he explained everything in terms we could easily understand and was always very responsive when we had questions outside of our meetings. Needless to say, the case against my husband was closed quickly afterward in his favour!!! We would highly recommend Patrick to anyone facing wrongful criminal charges

At the time, in 2008, I had been served with divorce documents and I found myself with nowhere else to turn and found myself overwhelmed with the situation and downturn of events. It was then that I was referred to Attorney Patrick McGeehan by an acquaintance. Attorney McGeehan took the adequate time to discuss what I was facing and clearly explained the options that were available to me. Eventually, the matter was confronted and resolved with Attorney McGeehan's expertise and dedication to my case. Attorney McGeehan was always prompt to answer and or return my calls or texts. He also always arrived early to court to defend me before a judge and in front of an aggressive opposing attorney. I was later faced with two other personal court matters of which Attorney McGeehan also defended me with those cases of which the results were advantageous and in my favor. I am truly appreciative of Attorney Patrick McGeehan's professional legal services and of course, I most definitely recommend him to help you with your unforeseen personal events which require his legal services. Thank you for all of your help and understanding with those cases Patrick... Freddie...

James is 100% a Top Notch attorney. He is extremely detailed and personable. He will analyze every detail of your case and knows exactly what he is doing. I thought no one would care about my cases and the effect they have had on my life as much as I did but James is the one to have in your corner. I interviewed many attorneys including the big box names. I was very close to hiring the big box because of the "clout" and win rate they tout. The folks you are talking to at the big box are sales people very rarely an actual attorney prior to hiring. I got a taste of how that was going to work and after working with James I have no doubt my experience at the big box would have been much different. James fully cleared my name. If you are concerned about your case just talk to James once and you'll see why he is your hire. AJ

After years of having two baseless complaints on my record I decided to hire James. I could not look at my U4 anymore knowing that the claims were not true. Throughout the process I was well informed as to what was needed on my end, the timeline of the expungement and had no surprises. James also discussed the outcomes and as they cannot be guaranteed, I feel that how James managed my case and kept me informed throughout the process, was a factor in my favorable outcome. If you are reading this and thinking about trying to remove a complaint, I would highly recommend James. Complaints do go away by themselves; you must act.

Hi. Vanessa has represented me for about two years and I could not be happier with her service / counseling / support and why not... with our growing friendship. I am a physician, but I had just finished my residency and money was a big struggle when I first hired Vanessa. However, my children'swell-being was a cause worth fighting for and investing my time, energy and limited resources. I read about Vanessa right here, at Avvo. Having had a good share of legal fiascos with previous "highly recommended" lawyers that only put me way deeper in debt with not real results, I was skeptical and afraid as my decision at the time was time sensitive and had no margin for error. I am glad I decided to hire Vanessa. She was considerate and very reasonable with legal fees and truly I felt she treated my case with the heart of a mother/father and advocated for my children as she would have done for her own children. She mounted a surprising case (at least to me) and recommended steps that no other lawyer had mentioned to me before and time proved to be the right strategy. Vanessa got my WHOLE case resolved in less than a year and pretty much I got every item I was hoping I could offer to my children such as: equal time share (50/50) with both parents, consistent and well structured time schedule, attendance to best possible school, common sense and fair things such as place for pick up/drop off, among other things. Vanessa was against an experienced and thought lawyer... and she shined. I must tell you that I did my homework and had everything ready at every step, saved emails, receipts, text conversation, etc... I did this over a period of time and I'd advise you do your work as well. Finally, after many years of back and forth visits to court, my case was resolved... and the legal cost at the end was not significantly different from our first calculations. I imagine every case is different, but Vanessa really try to help client's cost by deferring much of routine interaction to her secretary and/or paralegal which were both really nice, courteous and very professional and cost a fraction of a lawyer's fee. Even better and unexpected news... I believe Vanessa (maybe indirectly, too complicated to explain here) also helped to improve my relationship with my ex which has been a blessing. My kids' mom and I just celebrated our son's birthday party together for the first time and it was a blast. I am very thankful to Vanessa for what she has done for me, my children and my family. Note: I usually do not write reviews, mostly due to lack for free time, but this review is truly important to me. It is a way to show gratitude to my lawyer and equally important possibly help someone desperate for help (as I was) to make the right decision. I believe Vanessa has her heart in the right place, something difficult to find nowadays. Best wishes!!!

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:
