There is no more professional and considerate law firm out there. They will keep you informed and make you comfortable with every step of your case. They go over and above to make sure that you feel safe and understand everything happening through the entire interaction and even follow up after. They do not make you feel like every interaction is just billable hour by any means. They take into consideration how you feel and help you make the best decision for you and your situation. I will forever be thankful for having Eric Lane as my lawyer.

Lane & Lane helped me with a prenup and were fantastic. From being upfront about what the costs would include, why not to go with much cheaper, online options, and then the follow-through, I was in good hands the entire time. This can be a delicate/difficult sort of agreement for a couple, and Lane & Lane were courteous, professional, and detailed. Highly recommended.

Phil Mazur has handled several matters for my company as well as for a few people I know, and he has always been knowledgeable and efficient at getting results. From contracts to litigation, Phil is very savvy and practical in figuring out the best way to approach a situation. I particularly like that he takes the time to really explain to me, as a client, "why" we should take a given approach. In one litigation relating to a commercial real estate matter, he knew how to use just the right approach to get the other side to settle the matter, saving all sides wasted legal expenses. He did what was best for me, the client, even if it kept his bills to a minimum. Phil is knowledgable, ethical and cost effective... its not so easy to find counsel like him these days. MC

Don't be fooled by small number of reviews. First of all, Ms. Anna Sullivan is great managing lawyers and details. Mr. Coyle is a "gray hair" has started his own law firm after years with big law firms and with partners. He has had the right jobs and the right experiences. Impressive background. My wife has been a plaintiff in a complex case of employment discrimination in federal court but now it is in Morris County Superior Court. I happen to own my law firm advocating for those alleged to have committed wrongdoing and for military and veterans at CitizenSoldierLaw and I've been at it for 30 years. We are at a preliminary stage of the litigation and John's filings and grasp of the issues have been stellar. He and his associates are very prepared and John Coyle is certainly the go-to lawyer for you if you are aggrieved in a religious liberty case. Shot out to Lili Caparoso for assisting in this important religious rights case based upon conscience, violating one's temple and refusing the so-called COVID phony injection and Experimental Use Only-approved faux vaccine.

I was injured at work in 2015, Mr.Ricciadelli responded quickly to my request to review my injuries. That was the ONLY TIME he responded quickly. There was never a time where I called the office after the initial meeting where I was able to speak Mr.Ricciardelli or get any answer about anything from his Staff. He runs his office on a need to know basic; meaning he does not allow his legal secretary or his Par-Legal answer any questions. This shows a lack of trust in his staff.. Ultimately, My case was awarded a Monterey amount but it was long 5 1/2 year’s. Ohh, I nearly forgot to say he threatened to Quit on me at worst time of my life. This happened after I pressed a bit for some answers and was met with the worst compassion I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. Mr. Riccardelli knew at this point I was nearly broke and had to sell my house and move in order to survive. Lastly recently I emailed his office about changing my name/address after getting married, I asked his office to update their records also to please give me the information on how I can change my name and address in order to have my payments from the Workers comp insurance sent to my new address and guess what? Nothing no help at all. Calle any other ambulance chaser there is nothing special about His office.

Mr. Ricciardelli (Manny) is the best by far. Workman's Comp is a slow process and at times can be very unsettling. Manny explained things in layman's terms. He as well as his office staff are very professional and listened to my venting at times. I couldn't of asked for a better lawyer. I have had lawyers from big corporations and felt like a number not an individual. Manny and his staff will be like family from the beginning. Thanks Manny and the office staff. It was a pleasure

Gives Poor Legal Advice until almost 2 years later at my time not to follow through. Discusses his Other clients with you and calls them terrible, hurtful names. I don’t know other than “ his friends” would give this “ Attorney “ a 5 star review. YOU Obviously didn’t deal with him. Run, find any other Attorney fast. I’m going to have to Report him to ETHICS as I have tried to resolve this. Try- he hangs up on you- I don’t have time for this. His a Liar, a Thief, a Domestic Abuser and doesn’t have a clue!

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.
