For over six months, I've been living in terror at 6823 NW 4 Ave. Every night, I dread returning to my own apartment. The lot next door, supposedly an investment by this law firm, has become a haven for illegal activities. They house the homeless there, who smuggle and uses drugs right under our noses. It's a shameful and dangerous situation.

To put this in words it will not fully convey the appreciation I have for Sandy and his team. During the most difficult time in my life Sandy provided me with extraordinary legal expertise but more importantly the emotional support that I needed. His entire team (Aileen Sinclair, my angel in disguise) was always available, transparent, dependable, and extremely compassionate. They were exactly what I needed, and I can't express the gratification, admiration, and appreciation I have for all of them. Thank you, Sandy, Aileen, and team.!

I highly recommend Mr. Becher. He is the number 1 Attorney to get the job done. He took on my case 2 years ago when I had no clue of what my next step would be for my son I. My son is Disable and I was not getting any assistance from the other party but he assured me of what the outcome of the case would be and that was what he delivered. May God bless you and your family. Mr. Becher is very professional and has a heart for the job. He deserve 10 stars.

I was severely injured in June 2020 by a fall in a hospital over a bench that was not visible from the turn in the hallway. In addition, three visits to the ED and 2 hospital admissions which included surgery twice Rubenstein Law upon consultation immediately accepted the case. I was working with their local attorney and was pleased with our discussions The local attorney was to handle the personal injury portion of the incidents and they were to review the medical care as it took 3 ED visits and 2 hospitalizations to handle the injuries suffered in the same facility where I was injured I had 3 fractured ribs, an 8 inch tear in the intracostal cartilage, a head injury, wrist injury and in the 2 hospitalizations 3 liters of blood surgically extracted from my chest cavity plus a 19cm hematoma that was dissolved. The diagnoses were acute kidney failure and acute respiratory failure due to large effusions in both lungs caused by the fall. Additionally, after 2 months, I’m still on oxygen 24 hours a day. Last night, a Friday night at 8:30pm, I received a call from an assistant at the headquarters office in Miami. I was advised that the hospital’s insurance had denied the claim for the fall and they had decided not to take the case further and they were closing the case. Hell, they had not even received my medical records yet. Not had the malpractice group reviewed anything regarding the errors made in my care decisions. I had been told at the onset that the insurer would likely deny the claim and at such time they would have to file the intent to take the case to the next level. Instead, they just dropped the case. Simply because the insurer denied the initial claim This leads me to wonder who’s pockets have been lined. Why accept my case in the first place? A total scam and failure

If you’re seeking legal representation, look no further - this lawyer is an absolute gem. I had the misfortune of having a complaint filed against me at my university while being only about a month from graduation. From the moment I engaged with Sherri, it was evident that her expertise and knowledge was unparalleled. Before I had even hired her after my consultation, Sherri drafted a challenge to my university’s unwarranted intermediate measures against me - she’s fast. She’s also effective, because we not only won on that challenge, but we won the case! One of the standout qualities of this attorney are her exceptional communication skills. Sherri was able explain legal concepts to me in a clear and concise manner, ensuring that I fully understood every aspect of my case. Whether in person, over the phone, or via email/text, her responses were prompt, thorough, and highly professional. Sherri actively listened to my concerns and provided valuable insights, instilling a sense of confidence and trust throughout the entire process. What truly sets Sherri apart is her unwavering dedication and commitment to her clients. She treated my case with the utmost importance, demonstrating a genuine concern for my well-being and a determination to achieve the best possible outcome. Sherri’s work ethic was evident in the hours she dedicated researching, strategizing, and preparing my case. Her attention to detail was extraordinary, leaving no stone unturned. Ultimately, the measure of an exceptional attorney lies in their ability to deliver results, and Sherri did just that. With her remarkable legal acumen and strategic approach, she navigated my case with precision and tenacity. Sherri left no room for doubt that she was fighting for my best interests. Her advocacy resulted in a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations, and I am immensely grateful for her exceptional representation.

She was quick in her response but she was unable to assist me. I would refer for some one who’s looking to see if she can take the case, wouldn’t be able to refer in more of a way because i was unable to see how she worked and how successful she is. Quick responding but she was also unable to refer me to someone else who might be able to take my case.

Mr. Benjamin truly came to my rescue today - I was very nervous about my eviction of a tenant. I spoke to him several times by phone and he guided me through the legal procedures and when I asked him to represent me (at the last minute - day before Court) he graciously accepted and handled my hearing magnificently and obtained a win for me. I would recommend him to anyone he wants a polished and cool under fire counsel.

In this hectic time, it is very difficult to find a caring and highly qualified attorney who will take it on himself to get a job done for the client, beyond what is expected. Ari Good is such a find. He is diligent, caring, strong and reasonable. I have been in business for over 45 years and I have dealt with no less than 1000 attorneys in my career as a real estate developer and broker. My son in law is a good attorney. I have recently had the sincere pleasure to work with one of the best in the field of IRS problems. A very troubling issue and most difficult area to work on, but Ari Good made be feel confident and comfortable, gave me great advice, took on the IRS issue directly, and found a very reasonable solution for me, with the least amount of time, effort and cost. He listens well, prepares well and executes the plan even better. I recommend him to anyone who has IRS issues and needs help.

He followed through with workers' comp in NC (state of residence), working closely with a NC attorney, so that I was able to pursue the lawsuit in Tallahassee.

His website makes the misrepresentation that it is a free evaluation which makes people believe an attorney will be evaluating the case. They charged me $150 for a telephone consultation but claimed it was for a telephone evaluation (Misleading. I never received a valuation I only gave info. and schedule the telephone consult). Then the attorney Joseph told me that he would refund any unused retainer funds during the telephone conversation but when I got the retainer agreement, it stated NON-REFUNDABLE retainer of $12,000+ and that the money was earned upon receipt. When I asked him to remove the NON-REFUNDABLE term from the retainer, he refused and declined to represent me. It is my opinion from my initial dealings with him that he was not honest with me. And that he and his firm are very much aware that people are being misled to believe the term "schedule your free evaluation" is a "free consultation" by an attorney but they play on those words to get people to call the firm then they do a BAIT-N-SWITCH. Response to Reply Below I appreciate the immediate response. But the reply does not negate the true facts above.

When I asked him to remove the NON-REFUNDABLE term from the retainer, he refused and declined to represent me. It is my opinion from my initial dealings with him that he was not honest with me. And that he and his firm are very much aware that people are being misled to believe the term "schedule your free evaluation" is a "free consultation" by an attorney but they play on those words to get people to call the firm then they do a BAIT-N-SWITCH. Response to Reply Below I appreciate the immediate response. But the reply does not negate the true facts above. Nevertheless, as of today Oct. 13, 2023, I did NOT receive a refund of my $4,850.00 the reply claims was refunded.

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.
