Mark embodies the quintessential sleazeball lawyer; it is astounding from where he got his degree. He is ridiculous and embarrassing since all he does is make ridiculous, false promises and believes he is above the law. I could continue but not even this brief review is worth my time.

I’m to the point of finding a new lawyer. Mr. William has yet to get anything done during my divorce and it’s been going on for months. They forgot to send over paperwork to me as promised only to find out he will be gone yet again for another couple of weeks. I barely hear from him the only time I can get in contact with anyone is through his staff. I’m truly disappointed in this company and do not recommend.

I met Ms. Finkelstein when I consulted with her on a family matter. She took her time with me as I was emotional during our consult and answered all of my questions. I followed Ms. Finkelstein's advice and ended up not needing to hire an attorney, but if I did she would be the one to hire. I have and will continue to recommend Ms. Finkelstein to any family, friends or anyone who may need some Legal help.

I called Ms. Finklestein’s office to discuss an important matter and to ask for advice/representation. I spoke with her assistant who said she’d call me back. She didn’t call for a week so I tried again. Same thing. “I’ll give her the message”, her assistant said. Again, another week went by with no call back. On my third call I actually did get a call back. When I spoke with Ms. Finklestein, she rapid-fire asked me a bunch of seemingly irrelevant questions without letting me get a word in to describe the help I needed. The call lasted only a few minutes and I asked if she could advise me. She gave me what I assume is the standard reply in this office “I’ll call you back”. Well, surprise, she didn’t call me back and my motion return date passed. She really hurt me badly through her negligence and I professionalism. I advise all to stay away to avoid the same.

He didnt care about my case or the details !! I should of just went a different route and obtained a different lawyer. Throughout my case my lawyer never showed any concern for me or my case. He never asked any important questions a decent lawyer would ask to defend the person they are representing. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.

I'm a colleague and friend of Mr. Murphy, and I can attest that he is an organized and competent attorney. He actually helped me pass the bar exam by suggesting a unique approach for studying for it. I've also had an opportunity to work with him over the last several years, and he is unfailingly helpful - readily available by phone, and diligent and reliable in going to court and making a good presentation. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney in Rockland County, I can't think of a better person for the job.

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.
