I had a great experience with Sullivan Law and associates. I highly recommend it. Richard Sullivan is the best, he is a very professional attorney that properly represents his clients. Richard is very caring and treat you as family. Steve Ra also has very professional representation. I am so glad that I found this firm, they have done so much for me. They handled my case perfectly, their hard work helped me finish my 5 year case.

Wow, anyone need divorce attorney? Checkout Richard Sullivan. My spouse and attorney was doing everything possible to delay and obstruct the divorce process. After 3 years and trying couple attorneys, I found Mr Sullivan. He was the only one who got my case moving forward and to the end I noticed that some attorneys are just pushing papers, which is great for an easy-going divorce. However, reaching a settlement it’s always within your control. And I play that no one has to go through what I have. But if you have, or just want to avoid it, give Sullivan Law and associates a call. They continued to negotiate up to the last day, to avoid a trial and settle out of court. But Richard Sullivan is a trial attorney and sometimes you need a trial attorney to avoid a trial. Live well, and be true

It was the first time I needed to seek an attorney and I’m more than pleased I came across Jesse to help me with my workers comp case. It took about a year and several months in my case, but throughout the entire process Jesse and his staff were communicative, friendly, and answered any questions I had along the way which made it feel less stressful overall. All matters were handled patiently and professionally! My expectations were exceeded and I’m satisfied with the outcome. I would 100% recommend The Law Office of Jesse Melendez to help you with your case!

Klein and Wilson exceeded all expectations in handling our legal malpractice case. Mark Wilson and Joe Miceli did an outstanding job reviewing all applicable case law. They were very accessible and their follow up was outstanding and prompt. They frankly ran circles around defenses council and were superstars in deposition. When deposed individuals tried to avoid or not answer vital questions they rephrased and pinned them down They were also very helpful in developing sound strategies that enabled us to get a settlement above actual dammages without having to go to trial. You have to pay to get the best, but it sure pays to have the best on your side. They are indeed superlawyers and it's no suprise their firm is ranked in the top 20 nationally in their areas of expertise I highly recommend them!

I was referred to Mark Wilson from a friend and called him to see if he could assist on a current case involving a family member. Mr. Wilson called me back within the hour and after office hours and took the time to listen to the details of the case. He provided me with free legal advise and then referred me to a collegue of his that would better help my needs. When I offered to pay him for his time he refused to accept any money from me. Mr. Wilson is a highly knowledgable attorney with honesty, integrity and compassion. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a professional with integrity. Thank you again Mr. Wilson

Mark Wilson and his firm successfully represented our company in a breach of contract dispute from the filing of the arbitration demand through the collection of the award. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of the case and would recommend Mark's services to others. Joe Miceli, Melissa Reyes, and Manoah Marton performed substantial work on the case and I was similarly pleased with their work as well. I can't say enough about the firm's communication. If you take nothing else from this review, please understand that any time I had a question or concern, I could call or write and be met with a rapid response. While this may sound elementary, in my view it was as valuable as it was the cornerstone of our success. In our matter, we were matched against both a defendant that significantly outspent us and opposing counsel from renowned firms that outnumbered us at every hearing and at trial. Yet, it was evident that Klein & Wilson was more experienced and better prepared than our opponents, and ultimately that experience was instrumental in deciding the outcome. Accordingly, I feel confident that Klein & Wilson was the right choice.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Richard from our first zoom call to our follow up visit signing our trust documents. He did not rush us and he spent a considerable amount of time answering questions about things we needed to know about our parents trust as well as the one he had written for us. He spent time explaining each part of our trust and what we needed to do to "fund" our trust. I liked his organized way of presenting the trust in sections that were easy to read! Richard is fun and adds humor to his work, we would highly recommend Richard B. Rudolph!!

James Sweeney is unparalleled in his professional and easy-going handling of his cases, the meticulous research he engages with, and the drive to success in his cases. I can say that because he won my case. He aims to win and has the drive to follow it through to the end. If you need an attorney to go to bat for you, James Sweeney would be welcome on any team as a pinch hitter to get the job completed with everything given to that goal.

If you are ever in a tough bind, I would highly suggest Ashley Daniel as your Criminal Defense Attorney. With his previous experience working on the other side of the opposition as a District Attorney, he is able to view things holistically as other attorneys would lack experience in. In return, this would benefit the entire situation, whether or not the allegations are true. Ashley makes every effort to go above and beyond for you. He tries to help people genuinely by earning an honest living. His prices are reasonable to his scope of practice. His dedication is over the top with his clients and it shows in his tenacious approach. With that said, it is always best to consider an attorney who will listen to you as a friend and will provide you with the help you are in. Give him a call and I am sure it would not be regrettable.

I can’t thank this man enough! I’ve had terrible experiences with lawyers and law enforcement but Randy is different . He makes you feel so comfortable has no judgment for any of your wrong doings. He is a great lawyer for complicated cases that have multiple moving parts . He is a good lawyer for anyone. Take his direction and advise he doesn’t tell you what you wanna hear but he tells you what you need to hear. He gives you his game plan and educates you on your own case. He’s open to listening and considers your opinion and any facts you think are important . I felt he took a real genuine interest in my case and the passion showed at trial . He’s vicious in the court room and really keeps jurors interested. His office is beautiful clean well organized and Chris is the man in the bat cave handling all the affairs while Randy is in court winning cases ! Chris is super professional , relatable, organized and patient ! He stayed on the phone as long as I needed and always called back as agreed. It’s true Randy Collins is the best lawyer in Orange County! He has earned his 5 start 1 case at a time, he can beat Goliath ! Forever grateful

My previous experience with lawyers was really bad but Randy really came through for me and my family . The case was a shitshow to say the least I had a lawyer refer to the case as “some Jerry springer stuff” there was mountains of documents and evidence from my end and multiple solid witnesses against me . Randy filtered through my evidence and was able to focus me on what was really important and removed all the non factors I was fixated on proving . He and Chris condensed my evidence and helped me truly understand the concepts of my case And how it would be presented to a jury . He’s not scared to call out dirty cops , bad investigators, or poor conduct from law enforcement. The trial was nerve wracking for me but he remained cool collected and focused throughout. He was very verbal with objections when needed and he questioned people in a way that had them frazzled to say the least. Randy is a made for TV kinda lawyer he’s so magnetic he had the jury whiplashed between his questions and the witnesses responses. His questioning gets intense and heated really quick.. edge of your seat kind of thing .

Pay the man !!! He is fantastic, Worth every penny! Don’t keep looking for lawyers Randy is your guy. He will actually care about you and your case. He’s passionate about what he does. He’s kind and genuine. Plus his paralegal Chris is amazing. The first Step is call Chris at the office number. He will take in your information and listen to your case. Help pull the documents for it and then schedule for you to talk to Randy either in person or on the phone whichever you prefer. Randy will either sit with you in person or discuss your case in general over the phone and give you his opinion/any obstacles he sees could be an issue and give you his legal advice. Then you Callback and hire him!! Chris will send you the contract. Trust me you need to sign it. Randy is in your best interest and Worth the price you get what you pay for. He will set up your case, if possible to be at a convenient time for you and for him. You don’t need to have constant contact with him. He is working on the backend with Chris on your case just give them everything you have and any other supplemental information you think could be of help to them. Randy doesn’t tell you everything he’s doing but in reality he’s Working on your case slowly until the trial date. He will have a sit down with you where he literally goes through the evidence and what he’s going to be doing how he’s going to approach the case what you can do to help him all the evidence against you and all the evidence he’s going to bring to defend you. He will watch videos and audios with you. Literally spend a few hours just talking about your case with you. At trial He is amazing. There’s just no words the way that he communicates to witnesses and to the judge is fantastic. He will crush a lying witness to the point where I saw him makes multiple people admit to lying and one even start crying saying she never wanted to come to court again !! He’s like a lawyer out of a TV show the tone of voice the mannerisms the presentation the wit and sharp replies . He’s got it all. Needless to say, he won my case and I thank him by recommending him to anybody and everybody who needs a criminal defense lawyer. Randy is definitely the best criminal lawyer in orange county !

If I could leave a negative review, I absolutely would. My experience with Sharman and her team has been deeply disappointing. Despite being entrusted with my case for nearly a year, no meaningful progress was made, and the situation was made worse due to her lack of preparation and attention to detail. Sharman clearly never took the time to study my case, which became evident through her repeated oversights and lack of understanding of critical details. Her inaction and carelessness have left me and my family in over $20,000 of debt. Worse, when I retained a new attorney, they discovered that critical documents—like the initial dissolution petition—were missing from the case file Sharman’s team provided. The contrast between my new attorney and Sharman’s approach is stark. My new attorney is working diligently to fix the damage caused, and the difference is night and day. Sharman’s lack of care and effort has turned my case against me, which no client should have to endure. I share this review not out of anger but to inform others of my experience. Single parents and vulnerable families deserve better than to be taken advantage of. Please do your research before retaining this attorney or firm.

Mr. Mor has been a very helpful and generous soul this weekend. I am currently on unemployment and my unscrupulous former employers decided to challenge my approved claim. Mr. Mor was a cold call and he informed me I did not need to hire him and he spent about 40 minutes counseling me why and explaining some tips. He then had me send over a 40 page document involving the case and gave me another complimentary consultation regarding his thoughts. WHAT LAWYER IN THE WORLD WOULD DO THIS ALL FOR FREE? We had no prior relationship I simply google'd him and he was this kind to me. He specializes in wrongful termination and EDD/unemployment matters. I HIGHLY recommend consulting with this gentleman should a matter arise for you. What a great and caring man. Full disclaimer I had never met him before the cold google call. Sincerely, Mike M.

I want to express my deepest gratitude and highest recommendation for Johnathan Reza. He expertly handled my DUI case with professionalism, compassion, and unwavering dedication. His extensive knowledge and expertise in the field are truly impressive. Johnathan Reza took the time to explain every step of the process, addressing my concerns and answering all my questions. His strategic approach and skilled representation resulted in the best possible outcome for my case. I was originally going to get charged with a DUI and he got it reduced to a reckless driving which saved me! He made this process so easy for me because he pretty much handled everything for me which left me with no stress or worry. It was 100% worth it trusting in Johnathan. If you're facing a DUI charge, I strongly recommend Johnathan Reza. He will fiercely advocate for you and guide you through this challenging time with empathy and expertise. Thank you again, Johnathan Reza for your exceptional service and support!

If you can avoid family law litigation, that would be my first recommendation. However, if you must litigate, I strongly recommend Michael Morris and John Murillo. Both have represented me in court and are outstanding. I have a very combative ex (and unreasonable....she explicitly rejected settlement offers that were better than both court judgements and expert recommendations) so I have needed their help repeatedly over the years, and I believe I have received the best representation possible. I don’t think there is ever such a thing as winning a custody case, but Mike helped me secure the desired end result.

Joe and his team were great, they went above and beyond from the start, even visiting me in the hospital to assess my situation personally. His professionalism and thoroughness were evident throughout the entire process, despite having to face unique challenges in my case. I feel like Joe exhausted every possible avenue to secure the best outcome for my case. He was also able to reduce my medical bills and liens, and even went as far as reducing his firm's fees to ensure I received as much compensation as possible under the specific circumstances of my case. Throughout the process, the team maintained great communication, explained the entire legal process clearly and thoroughly and helped me through it step by step. Their dedication, empathy and guidance definitely made a challenging situation much more manageable, which i really appreciate. Joe is someone who combines legal expertise with genuine care for his clients, I highly recommend him and his team for anyone needing legal representation. Thanks again for everything!

At the age of 22, I was sentenced to 50 yrs. to Life. I felt hopeless, sad, depressed and not wanting to think about freedom anymore. It was a miracle when I met Cori. Throughout my 20 yrs. of incarceration, Cori have been by my side for 15 yrs. She provided hope, encouragement, and most importantly support. Due to Cori's hard work and effort my 50 yrs. to life sentence was reduced to 40 yrs. to life. But Cori didn't stop there, she believed and cared about me and eventually I was resentenced to 15 yrs. to life. Within 6 months, I was scheduled to appear before the Board of Parole Hearings, and Cori continued to be there and represent me. Ultimately, I was found suitable for parole on my initial hearing and I am FREE today because of her. Without Cori, I would've been lost, not knowing what to do, and still feel hopeless. Many people who are system -impacted have a mistrust for attorneys but for me I trust Cori. She is determine, committed, and compassionate. I am forever grateful to have Cori as my attorney. You are an amazing attorney and human being, THANK YOU.

My mom set up a trust 20 years ago when she was a single mom with 3 kids and absolutely no time. When I sat down with her recently to review her estate plan, she was shocked to find the trust was not set up at all the way she thought she'd instructed the lawyers to do it. She wasn't even sure what law firm had originally set it up because there hadn't been any follow up from them in all that time. She also had only partially funded it and most of her assets were not in the trust's name. I was very happy to find Meier Law to help her restate the trust and get her full estate plan in order. They walked us through every step and helped her feel confident in the plan and how things would be set up to achieve her goals. They also provided detailed instructions on funding the trust and have a plan to check in every few years to see if any updates are needed. Meier Law is probably not the cheapest option out there, but an estate plan is worthless if it isn't actually set up and funded correctly. So personally I think their prices are a bargain for the level of support we're receiving and the peace of mind to have this all in capable hands.

Klein and Wilson exceeded all expectations in handling our legal malpractice case. Mark Wilson and Joe Miceli did an outstanding job reviewing all applicable case law. They were very accessible and their follow up was outstanding and prompt. They frankly ran circles around defenses council and were superstars in deposition. When deposed individuals tried to avoid or not answer vital questions they rephrased and pinned them down They were also very helpful in developing sound strategies that enabled us to get a settlement above actual dammages without having to go to trial. You have to pay to get the best, but it sure pays to have the best on your side. They are indeed superlawyers and it's no suprise their firm is ranked in the top 20 nationally in their areas of expertise I highly recommend them!

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.
