Im a little late for a review, but he represented my boyfriend 3 years ago, and I cannot describe how caring, professional, and detail oriented this lawyer was. I felt like I hired a Hollywood lawyer . Definitely recommended

Nick Gomes is amazing. He listened carefully to the details of our case against a solar company that defrauded my husband, tricking him into signing a document that he understood was authorizing a bid but in fact obligated us to a 25 year, $ 25 ,000 contract! We learned a out this only qhen the company dumped the panels in our yard.Nick quickly created a letter demanding damages for emotional distress, prompting the solar company to call is to find out "how to make this go away." We settle the matter quickly. MANY THANKS , NICK!

I will make this short and to the point Mr Mesmar is a con man he has never practiced law for any law firm, so were does he get his experience from. Yes he says he went to law school graduated passed the bar (I wonder how much of that is true,going to research it).It seems to me that law is a job that requires experience by having worked in the chosen field. It’s not like hey you get hired some company and has a6 week job training and then you are judged if you are accepted and can do the job. Law professionals take people lives in their hands much like doctors. You really on their expertise and not their ability to lie and con you into believing that they are knowledgeable and experienced in their profession. If you question him and dig into his marlaki you will see his reactions show his transparency that he really has no clue. He has a great ability to make you believe that he is likeable trustworthy and honest with your best interest in his responses to you. Ask him about how to proceed in the case or how much money he is payed He will not give you a straight answer for his fees,and gets ticked off regarding law strategy. His answer I will handle the strategy not you I have the law degree I went to law school not you. I have spoken to other lawyers and non were so demeaning towards me as he was. They were all respectful listened and responded in a manner that was in line with a client lawyer relationship. He must have missed that class. Well never have I been made to feel like I was a victim and only my money mattered not my life.

I was referred to Anne for my divorce. She is very detailed, empathetic and will dig deep for you. She explains everything to you so you understand. My case had many twists to it but she made sure she had the correct answers and whatever options were available for my best interest. Pleasant to work with, she makes you feel a bit relaxed going over unpleasant details.

I've been working with Anne for the past 1 and a 1/2 years on 2 different cases. It was my first time have to go to court and working with a lawyer. I'm glad my father referred me to her. She is extremely knowledgable and pleasant to deal with. She is very thorough and explains everything so you understand what to expect. I don't think anybody likes going to court and I was very nervous/anxious but Anne seemed to make me more comfortable. Both of my cases turned out good and I was happy with their outcomes.

Through this past great Atty McLean and her staff stayed in constant communication with me throughout this whole process; I never once felt forgotten. Atty McLean was so easy to talk to and took the time to get to know me as a person. She was not only my lawyer and representative, she was also my cheerleader and supporter.

This Attorney was assigned to me to defend me in a case. He has to be the rudest man I have ever met. !!!!!! Everything we talked about he sounded like I was already guilty. I’m innocent. Horrifying. Got another attorney. No stars.

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.
