I feel really lucky that Smith Law Group represented me. I have heard so may horror stories related to friends of mine going through a divorce and not having a good attorney. This was not the case with me. I most certainly was well represented and supported. Most importantly if it looked like something may go sideways or we could not get an agreement Jen’s office was able to calm the storm and get us back to settling the case. I am very grateful for all their work on my behalf!

Everyone told me I would not get custody of my kids because I’m a father living in Washington State. Well, that is not true! I hired Jen and her office to deal with some difficult custody issues in my divorce. Jen was very clear as to what I could expect. She was also very clear in how I needed to move the case forward. I listened to her and she made it happen! If you are a dad going through a divorce with children do not trust your case with anyone else!

It was a total pleasure working with Jim to get my gun rights restored. He goes above and beyond for his clients. After the Judge signed the order, Jim sent copies directly to WASP, so I could apply for my concealed carry permit sooner than later. He is very kind, caring, and incredibly professional. If you are looking to get your gun rights back, look no further. You are in good hands with Jim. Thank you, Jim. My family and I are truly grateful for your business.

She was very knowledgeable, helpful without reservation, generous with her advice and time, and worked to earn my trust and respect as opposed to portraying she deserved it by simply being an expert. It takes time to find a good attorney in any field - Jill Collins was definitely a great find!

While walking through the crosswalk with my family I was struck by a vehicle and injured. It was a difficult time made more complex by the fact that I had no experience with the legal system or how medical billing for injuries work differently. My massage therapist recommended I hire an attorney and it was the "you won't have to talk to the insurance company again" part that sold it. Carter is an expert at what he does: detailed, persistent and a clear communicator. I'm grateful to have hired him. He told me exactly what the process was going to look like and followed up well. As a former admin I respect how well Carter kept track of details. At one point I was upset to receive a large bill from the Physical therapist that Carter was able to sort out for me. Without his expertise I would not have understood my rights, or gotten my settlement, which was sizable. Carter is a shrewd negotiator but more importantly, he is a quality human being and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Carter hick helped me a lot after I was in a bike vs car accident. He helped me get my bike replaced in a matter of months, set up a pip claim under my insurance since the person who hit me didn't have pip and then once I was done with all of my medical treatment he got the pip claim reimbursed in addition to the settlement I got from the other persons insurance. During the process I had an ER visit, appointments with my doctor, x-rays, CT scan, chiropractic care and massages done to help with my recovery process and Carter was able to make sure that I didn't have to pay out pocket for any of it. He worked with me over the course of a year or so and made sure I was informed about everything and felt confident with his expertise. Very nice guy and very approachable.

Autumn helped me through a high anxiety divorce from a narcissistic ex husband. She has a very personable approach; I felt heard and supported the entire process. She keeps it very real; fights like a bulldog but also let me know when I needed to reign it in; she was very down to earth on what the judge would and wouldn’t like for the best outcome. I had consulted with 3 other seasoned attorneys, and felt pretty defeated by the lack of connection; When I found autumn, I was honestly hesitant, as she was newer to the firm but instantly connected and she blew my expectations away with her meticulous depositions, financial facts down to the cents, and the heart she pours into her work. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking top-tier legal representation.

I was traumatized and injured after my car accident in which a person decided texting was more important than driving. Getting barraged by insurance company calls while trying to heal was incredibly stressful - especially during the pandemic. That’s when I reached out to Terry Church. From Day 1, he and his team were amazing. They were responsive, personally accessible, experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled at negotiating. I appreciated their solid integrity and the fact that they are a local firm. I felt cared for throughout the process and trusted Terry and Joey explicitly. The end result was a more than fair settlement along with having all of my medical costs covered. I am super grateful I chose this firm and I highly recommend this team of legal experts.

My wife and I came to Terry after we had the misfortune of being hit by distracted drivers. We had never been in an accident before. We were nervous about litigation, but our insurance company was bullying us into prematurely wrapping up our medical treatment. Terry explained the litigation process in simple terms. He was readily available to answer our questions. He got our insurance company to pay our medical bills. He prepared us for arbitration and trial. However, thanks to his expertise and skill, we were able to settle everything outside of court. Our settlement was more than double what we anticipated. Working with Terry Church and the Church Rietzke firm was an absolute pleasure. Terry and his staff alleviated our stress. Terry’s calm, kind demeanor was extremely refreshing. However, Terry has the tenacity and assertiveness to yield big results. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude. I recommend Terry Church to anyone who has been in a car accident, and I strongly encourage anyone who has retained his services to relax and let Terry and his team handle everything. I trust his discretion, expertise, and professionalism.

Other than wanting me to "go with the flow" instead if challenging CPS allegations which I fully regret, I can't blame the lawyer, only my own decision. Mr. Desmond is very professional and an outstanding attorney as well as his team of lawyers.

We found Drew because another lawyer told us he was good at taking cases that are unusual. That he knows how to fight these cases that nobody else wanted to take. Drew was straight forward with our case and the costs involved during our consult. Drew is straight forward no sugar coating the situation. I appreciated this because I knew he was authentic. We had to put in work but Drew told us if we did some things on our own it would save us a lot of money. It also helped us in remembering some details that we may have forgotten. Drew is intelligent and at times I felt dumb not understanding him but not to worry he would break things down in layman’s terms until we got it. At times I was unsure of communication as he wouldn’t answer emails as often as I would have liked but he is a busy attorney and this didn’t stop him from knowing all the details of the case and looking up laws to fight it. Drew knows his stuff! He was determined to win this case by using his knowledge and knowing the law. I was amazed watching him represent me so well. Literally couldn’t have found a better lawyer. We are grateful we found Drew. If you are searching for the right attorney for you, look no further. Drew is the best. Oh and we won!

Five stars simply aren't enough to reflect the level of service Mr. Lousteau provided - from the very beginning of my case right through to the charges being dropped and the case dismissed. He's thoroughly professional, kind (and kindness really does matter), and his expert guidance made navigating a difficult process and system way less scary than it would have otherwise been. He's great to work with and I am so thankful that he represented me.

You should try to avoid a DV arrest at all costs. You get ordered out of your own home by a judge, you are presumed to be a violent person which is humiliating. If this happens to you, call David Lousteau. I did, and am very glad I did. David skillfully steered my court case into a diversion and my charges will get dismissed with no jail, no conviction. I am back home. He also personally kept my head on straight during this highly stressful episode. Thank you, David!

Nine felonies and three misdemeanors charged, no convictions. What more can you ask for? My case was heavy. With ode to my own safety and privacy, I can only say so much about it. The odds were stacked against me. Someone I thought I could trust decided to frame me, falsely accusing me of grievous crimes that had the potential to land me incarcerated for, at the very least, five years in prison. David Lousteau made sure that didn't happen. David is a dilligent, studious, tactful, reliable, highly effective attorney. He's as passionate about law as he is experienced in it, and steadfast in getting results for his clients. If you need more information to convince you he's right for your case, talk to him and you'll understand why his work begets these positive reviews!

It was a total pleasure working with Jim to get my gun rights restored. He goes above and beyond for his clients. After the Judge signed the order, Jim sent copies directly to WASP, so I could apply for my concealed carry permit sooner than later. He is very kind, caring, and incredibly professional. If you are looking to get your gun rights back, look no further. You are in good hands with Jim. Thank you, Jim. My family and I are truly grateful for your business.

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.
