Mrs. Lila Ayers is the best lawyer I met. I highly recommend her services as an Immigration Lawyer and I will still go to her if I ever need her future services. One thing I learned working with her is to trust the process as well as trust your lawyer. The first time I met Mrs. Ayers were last summer 2019. I consulted her about my Immigration case and she already understood what she needs to do with it and I hired her immediately as she is knowledgeable, professionally detailed person, and trustworthy. She work on my immigration case every step of the way and when pandemic were rampant I thought my application were halted but thanks to Mrs. Ayers nonstop leg work on my case I was able to do my biometrics before every offices closed permanently due to Covid-19. She gave me update as well as encouragement that everything will be fine. She helped me understand my immigration case althrough out our journey together. I am forever greatful to her as she gave me the best Christmas and New Years gift last year. My family and I were happy to have her as my Immigration lawyer. I am blessed and grateful to meet and have her as my lawyer. Thank you Mrs. Lila for your great services.

I highly recommend Joyce’s real estate attorney services! I cannot recommend them highly enough! I needed to sell my apartment within a short turnaround time as I was relocating for work and had a deadline to receive related benefits. Joyce was one of two attorneys referred to me, and from our first exchange, she demonstrated the highest level of responsiveness and precision that she maintained throughout the duration of our working together. There were a number of bumps along the way, and Joyce remained thoughtful, conscientious, solutions-oriented and client-centered at every step. She ensured every stakeholder in the home buying process remained engaged so things could move forward with efficiency. Because, in large part, of her tireless efforts and quick action, I was able to close on my apartment with just enough to secure my full relocation benefits. If you are looking for a knowledgeable expert who can remain focused and truly partner with you on a shared goal, Joyce is the perfect choice!

Mr. Davis represented my son in a serious criminal matter. I was a little hesitant to pay the fee requested, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Mr. Davis went to trial and my son was found not guilty on all counts. I owe my son'slife to Mr. Davis.

I will never forget Mrs. Shako and i hope the most high blesses her for assisting me save my younger brother life.

Mrs. Shako was the best attorney I have ever come across because without her, I would be under the jail right now. From day one I had confidence in her and she walks me through everything and she took the time to answer my many questions. Her fees are reasonable and she provide zealous representation and that combination is hard to come around. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a defense attorney.

I needed their help regarding an eviction case that was brought against me but because of an alleged disagreement between myself and the attorney at LSHV I had to represent myself. Needless to say I am very disappointed with the fact that no one would represent me or even give me any useful advice. I would also like to point out that George Asante who is in charge of the Mount Vernon office promised to help me with my case but he didn't help at all. Janani Sritharan discussed my case with me but she did not give me good advice and did not help me to better represent myself. Honestly it felt that both these individuals expected me to beg for their help even though they never intended on actually helping me. I hope my experience is unique because it would be a shame if other residents of Mount Vernon had to deal with such unprofessional and uncaring people.

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.
