I had the pleasure of working with Phil Sayles on two separate legal matters, one for myself and one for my son, and despite being based in New York, he was incredibly helpful in resolving both issues here in Seattle, Washington. Phil was responsive, compassionate, and took the time to explain the legal process in a way that was easy to understand. His expertise and attention to detail gave me peace of mind throughout each case. Even with the geographic distance, Phil was always available for consultation and provided outstanding support. I highly recommend Phil Sayles to anyone in need of legal services, regardless of location. His professionalism and commitment to his clients are unmatched.

You will be represented by only the best! Derek Andrews and his team will fight for you and work to achieve the best results. Very responsive and professional. Hired him for a DUI charge and was able to fight and win for a DWAI. He was able to take so much anxiety off my shoulders especially after getting myself into such a reckless mess. I trusted him with my case and will recommend him to anyone in a sticky and difficult situation.

Kevin Gagliano was my real estate attorney hired as a replacement in a crucial time. He was able to review my contract and arrange for signature within the same week avoiding a contract cancellation. Kevin was always responsive and thorough with all aspects of the negotiation between myself and the banker's attorney. I am glad Kevin was recommended to me by my realtor agent. I recommend Kevin Gagliano for realty legal services for anyone purchasing property.

Mr. Papa was very patient and went well above and beyond the call of duty. He took the time to explain to me sometimes more then three times just to ensure I understood what to expect and what could occur as I am not at all savvy with legal jargon. He was always readily available via phone. If I got his voicemail, he would call me late at night or while on vacation even. He cares. This meant quite a lot to me. He took the time to get to know me as a person, not just a client, and lended the "ear" well beyond what most lawyers do. He understood the person he was representing. I couldn't have asked for better representation. Without thought, I highly recommend Mr. Papa. He was wonderful and I am extremely grateful to him for his caring nature, patience and beyond reasonable fees. He is a wonderful attorney. Thank you, Mr. Papa. I don't want to need you in the future, but if I do LOL, I'm going to reach out to you. Thank you for all your help. It's not just because I was victorious, but because you walked me through a very difficult situation and I felt very prepared no matter what the outcome may have been. Best to you. Larissa.

I'm a Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, who now represents a registered nonprofit, that's focused on serving the at-risk veteran population,all of whom suffer from chronic PTSD symptoms. Since returning from war, these vets have been forced to fight for every benefit owed to them, by a public that's forgotten the war, and those who fought it. So when I received news that their VA cases were dropped by an attorney who simply stopped returning their calls, I could not risk losing more of my brothers-in-arms to suicide. This is when we met Christine Clemens. Just a voice over the phone, Christine said she understood the severity of this issue, and without hesitation, accepted responsibility for every at-risk veteran case, pro bono. Within days, Christine mobilized a legal-team that relentlessly pursued justice for every one of our veteran cases, including my own. More than the exhilaration of victory, or the relief of closure, the veterans she's assisted are left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. To know that Americans like Christine Clemens exist, is to know an America worth fighting for.

“I served in the Army and saw combat in Vietnam. I developed a service related disability years after my in service toxic exposure to herbicides, including Agent Orange. With my honorable discharge, I applied for Veterans’ Compensation Benefits. The VA denied me service connection for my disability, so I had to hire a lawyer. I live in Missouri and I called a local lawyer. They told me that Finkelstein & Partners is the best in the USA because they have a dedicated Veterans’ Services Group to help vets get the benefits they deserve. Well, they were right and the best thing I did was to call Finkelstein & Partners. Even though they are in New York, they told me they handle cases Nationwide, so I hired them. It was such a pleasure working with them. They did everything they promised and got me the results I wanted. If you have a service related disability from being in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, or Coast Guard – and whether it is for diabetes with neuropathy or PTSD – I highly recommend Finkelstein & Partners to help with your appeal.”

In May of 2017 I was seriously hurt walking down Cropsey Ave in Brooklyn. I was walking past a busy business when I fell in a hole on the sidewalk. I broke my arm and my wrist in the fall. Everything I went through, the pain and the time and money spent treating my injuries, could have been prevented had the property owner repaired the hole in the sidewalk. Most New Yorkers have heard of Jacoby & Meyers, and after working with them I understand why they’re so well respected. Even though they’re a big firm, the personal injury attorney I worked with, David Akerib, and his entire team handled my case thoroughly and made sure my questions were answered as they spent time working on my case and obtained a great settlement. I’d recommend Jacoby & Meyers to anyone in need of a great attorney and personal injury law firm.

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.
