Unfortunately over the past several years I have found myself in sticking situations and needing the help of a lawyer. Peter Green has proven himself time and time again to be an excellent criminal defense attorney. He is always my first phone call because I know I can always trust and count on him to not only give me the best advice but to give me and my case the full attention it deserves. His prices are more than affordable and hiring him is definitely worth every penny! I would highly recommend calling him before calling any one else!

I'm a single father with sole custody and sole physical custody of my daughter. Peter's hard work and dedication to the case made that possible. Through the long and lengthy court proceeding, Peter was very informative and was on top of the case. The case was on going for 13 months with 26 days of trial. Peter worked very hard for me as I'm absolutely sure he does for all his clients. Not only is he an attorney he has a heart. If you are looking for a dedicated and very knowledgeable attorney, Peter is the guy for any case. Not only was he my attorney but he was like a friend through it all. He fights hard for your rights and listens to everything you say. I can't find, nor will there ever be any words that I can say to thank peter for what he has worked so hard on. I only hope this review can help someone else who is looking for a dedicated non judgmental great attorney on there side for any situation they are in.

Mr Ziemelis in my opinion, is an invested Attorney. I have retained him a few times. Each and every time he took the time to know the ins and outs of my case. He remembers details as if he were personally involved. He isn't a lawyer that just takes your money and runs. He always responds to emails and questions. His approach is a very honest and real one. He isn't afraid to tell you when you are wrong and sure isn't afraid to argue for your side. Ultimately, he will not take your money if he does not believe you have a case, just to make a quick buck. Honesty and integrity at it's finest with Mr. Ziemelis is what you will get from start to finish.

Brittany Kessler is an incredible lawyer and human, for that matter.  I had a very unfortunate and upsetting experience in which I was booked for speeding, being on my cell phone and a DWAI.  I blew under .08 so wasn’t booked for a DUI but what a DWAI means for your record while not criminal is still a terrible blemish.  I was visiting NY from CA so there was the added layer of my being from out of State. Brittany was ALWAYS available to answer my questions and concerns and was kind, empathetic and patient when explaining the way the system works.  She even contacted a CA attorney to clarify what may happen to my license there, should I be convicted.  She was amazing and I couldn’t recommend her more.  She is so professional but also truly cares.  She made the process bearable.  Because of her good relationship with the Court, she was able to have my DWAI dropped and replaced with two much minor tickets.  She put together a thoughtful, well researched and powerful case in my defense and I feel so grateful and lucky to have had her in my corner.  She’s the very best.  I’d like to add that Brittany’s firm Larkin Ingrassia was also supportive and a pleasure to deal with. I hope I don’t need Brittany’s help again but if I ever did I know exactly who I’m calling!

Brittany is amazing. During my DWAI case she was extremely responsive to all of my texts and calls and answered any questions I had. She lead me through each step of the case and I never had a doubt that she didn’t have my best interests at heart. Even when I was freaking out, she was always there to explain everything and comfort me. She was kind and was never judgmental about my situation. Even when she was asked to go to another court hearing on the day of my court hearing she declined so she could be with me. That meant the world to me. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a top tier lawyer. She will always have your back.

Very aloof, dismissive, and arrogant. He immediately told me it was $400 an hour to retain him, and I told him his office told me there was a free consultation. He said, "sometime yes, sometimes no. in this case you just need to decided whether you want to start a new business and then retain me if you want." If you are going to be arrogant in this business, you better know what you are doing and know more than the prospective client does and, frankly, I honestly believe in this case you did not.

Would have closed on my dream house by now but this lawyer is unresponsive, lies and does not follow through on anything. She's not my lawyer but the seller's. My lawyer is awesome. Took this one over 4 weeks to get the contract for us to sign after much follow-up and threatening to search for other homes. She lied and said that the seller wouldn't do any of the fixes required by my lender. When we reached out to the seller he said everything was taken care of. Now we've been waiting for the fully executed contract for a week after sending my down-payment. My lawyer contacts her daily and still no response. Things that should take days take weeks and months with this office. AVOID LIKE A PLAGUE if you want something done.

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.
