Mr. Peacock, and his wonderful team, were able to assist me through my recent divorce. I was referred to him by a friend who had retained him previously, and after my initial consultation decided to go with his office for legal assistance. His office was able to explain the legal jargon in an easily understandable fashion, assisted me with my required paperwork for the legal filings, and were empathic in their approach during a very stressful time for me. They were prompt with their responses to my questions, and reached out to help remind me of specific deadlines we had to meet. In the end, Mr. Peacock's office was able to help me complete my divorce case promptly and secure my personally desired outcome for the case. I cannot recommend his office highly enough, and Mr. Peacock will be my first choice should I require help navigating any future legal issues.

I needed Mr Peacock once before when he came through for me and helped me when I believed all was lost. He told me not to talk if I was ever arrested. I was recently wrongfully arrested and remembered Stan’s advice.. When I was finally able to call Stan, it was my friend who answered that phone. He was professional and direct. Made recommendations that I immediately followed. Timely suggestions that took the burden out of the criminal matter and helped me take first steps in civil litigation. Hearing Stan’s voice and answering his questions gave me clarity and provided peace in a confusing and extremely stressful time.

Mrs. Thacker prepared wills for my mother, my husband and myself, years ago. Upon my husband's recent death, Mrs. Thacker has re-written my will so as to update it, which includes a trust for a disabled child. She has given me strong legal advice regarding the reading of my husband's will and the disbursement of his estate as well as dealing with one of my husband's disgruntled children. This took such a burden off my shoulders during this unfortunate situation in my life. She is handling the probation of my husband's will. She has such a big heart and so knowledgeable about many things. I would recommend her to anyone!

Chad Templeton is by far the best attorney I have ever had the privilege of being represented by. He went above and beyond to handle the multiple cases I had and I could not be any happier or satisfied with his performance and exceptional capabilities. The way he pursues his cases is hard to come by in an attorney and his persistence is unbelievable. Not only do I recommend Mr. Templeton, I strongly encourage anyone having criminal legal matters to obtain his representation. Thank you for all the hard work you put in for me, Chad.

Mr. Young was more than an excellent lawyer as he was there for us as a Christian friend. I still to this day text, e-mail, and face book with Chris. I consider him to be a life long friend and my attorney.

Rick's experience, especially with immigration law, made a huge difference. His firm handled my case with professionalism and care that was both reassuring and effective. What really sets them apart is how upfront they are with costs. They offered the most value and even provided flexible payment plans. If you're looking for someone who knows their stuff, gets results, and genuinely looks out for your best interest with transparency and affordability, Rick Shea Law is it. Five stars all the way.

This was a DCF case involving our grandchild & when I tell you everything that could possibly go wrong...it did! I guess you could say with all the twist & turns in this case, it is by far one for the records. We retained Mr Ogburn in what most would say was, "The Witching" hour. Very limited time to make mountains move in favor of the future of our grand baby. Mr. Ogburn came in did his job above & beyond expectations. Which in turn lit the fire under others whom did not do their job like they should have from the start. Accountability & progress was made when he stepped in & finally progress was being made. Our only regret is not retaining him sooner. He is tough & will tell you things you may not want to hear but all I can say is, "suck it up" because he knows what he is doing & is only helping when others falter with truth, facts, & justice being served. He is & always will be a blessing to us for helping save our grand baby to what could have & almost was a life where she would have been yet another sad story & statistic. Because of Mr Ogburn's knowledge & tough court room demeanor we can say without a doubt that he helped save our grand baby's life who will now have the life that this innocent baby deserves with a loving & bright future ahead. To God be the glory for leading us to him & bringing hope and justice for this baby's future. Thank you Mr. Ogburn!! A++++++++++++++++++

From the moment they took on my case on July 1, 2021, it was a long journey, but the outcome has been more than worth it. Vincent Bruner is truly your go-to attorney! He fought tirelessly to secure the settlement I deserved, demonstrating incredible dedication and expertise. Vincent consistently communicated every detail of the case, ensuring I was always informed and reassured. I must also highlight the outstanding contribution of Kimberly Priddy, who joined the team at a crucial point in my case. Kimberly was an absolute godsend, providing invaluable support to both Vincent and myself throughout the process. If you need a reliable and tenacious legal team, I wholeheartedly recommend the Bruner Law Firm, and Vincent Bruner in particular, for any lawsuit, big or small.

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.
