I hired Stephanie to represent me in my civil case. Although I was very nervous as I had never been through this sort of thing before, she was calm and reassured me that she had a plan. She does not have a large office or tons of staff to answer every call, but I never felt as though I would lose mycase due to that. In Court she was very professional and was able to talk me through it although I wanted to lash out. I'll just say that she always seems to have a plan, even if you don't realize it! Thankful for all she has done for me so far!

Here I sit seeing a five star reviews for this place and asked myself, how could that be. One of the attorneys Patrick Flanigan was an attorney for my children and ex wife. He was pro mother and helped alienate my children from me and their indigenous culture. That's called assimilation, exactly what the Caucasians do the most. So not only was his goal to deny my children their language culture and ways of life, he decided they should be denied that and be assimilated. As a first generational residential school survivor, I can this needs to stop happening. They have created new ways to steal from us now that the residential schools are closed, it is their way of doing things. He recused himself from the case after after I filed a complaint, and one where I tape recorded the whole conversation we had. He was very biased in the way he conducted himself and could have cared less what the children wanted. If your a dad and a minority like myself and he gets assigned to your case, be careful he's a person who considers only one race of people to be able to parent.

Honestly Lisa was a god send for my child. She listened to my child and took her feelings and opinions into consideration even though she was younger then what people seem to think the appropriate age is for a child to have their own feelings and desires. Lisa always acted in the best interest of my child and took the safety of my child very seriously. Many people may get upset over the outcome of family court because they did not get what they wanted but sometimes what someone wants isn't in the best interest of the child and it is Lisa's job to determine that and do her possible best to make sure the child grows up in a loving safe environment and I feel as though she does her job extremely well. Children have feelings and a voice and Lisa is their voice and she takes her job very seriously. Couldn't have asked for a better law guardian. Thank you lisa

The family court judge is biased and should be removed from the bench. This Cornell educated clown, will violate the constitution, your civil rights and is a proud supporter of assimilation of indigenous children. He will violate your rights without impunity. The loser he is, , he would never run for any other office and nowhere else but podunk county would vote for this 🤡 Also if my son was arrested for DUI, I would think that would reflect on the judges own ability to be a parent. Must be Frank didn't teach him right from wrong, or probably raised him like Joe Biden raised Hunter. Come to think of it, if Joe Biden had been a judge he would be just like Frank Revoir.

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.
