Needed a small desk appearance ticket resolved without taking off of work for me and my buddy from out of state. Spoke with Jaime on the phone and was in within the week to retain. Simple, seamless process. Everyone was a pleasure to work with. Ended up taking care of it no issues. Jaime, Chris, and the rest of the team, Thank you.

I didn’t judge the fact that his business has been closed .. I thought he seemed like a good man .. He took the case and has been unreachable for over a year. This has torn apart my entire family ! If he just responded to any correspondence or court request this could have been different.. He ignores everything and I have researched and he has been playing these games for years … Please stay far away from this man in business and personal life ..

From the start, they made a stressful situation much more manageable. They were not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate about my case. The lawyer took the time to explain the entire process in detail, ensuring I understood each step. They were always available to answer questions and provide updates, which gave me peace of mind throughout the process. What impressed me most was their thorough approach. They left no stone unturned, gathering all necessary documentation and evidence to build a strong case on my behalf. Thanks to their hard work, I was able to get a fair settlement that allowed me to focus on recovering from my injury instead of worrying about legal complexities. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is dedicated, responsive, and effective, I highly recommend

I hired this attorney to handle my mother's estate with a reverse mortgage . I was left to deal with the reverse mortgage company on my own. They have no record of speaking with her. She only asked me come into the office to sign a waiver to speak to the mortgage company a couple weeks before the house went to closing. She and her assistant had told me that she had been communicating with them all along which according to the mortgage company was not true. I lost my job due to the immense stress of solely keeping the house from being foreclosed. The people in the office don't communicate the way they should, and iwhen I brought it to thier attention, the attitude was indignant, and they told me that I misunderstood when nothing was explained to me to begin with. I found a cash buyer for the house in hopes of the sale going smoothly. As mentioned before, I had lost my job, and needed the funds to pay my debts, including rent, that were piling up. Ms Romeo went away right before the closing and did not give anyone power of attourney to sign a check to pay me at closing, so I am now in even more financial trouble while waiting for her to return from her trip. The word incompetence has been used by several people involved with regard to this attourney. After my experience, I would not reccomend this attorney to anyone. It was a terrible experience for me.

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.
