Justin helped me with a situation that I was not aware of. While helping a member of my family I was able to reach out to him for assistance and questions and with doing so he was able to get me the money that I should have received over a year ago. He takes the time to explain with you how certain processes work and actually cares about his clients he takes on. From this point forward if myself or someone I know is involved in my same situation he will be the first person I reached out to or refer to a family member or friend.

After my motorcycle accident I was focused on my recovery and knew that I needed good legal representation. Once my research was completed I selected Law Tigers and I have been very pleased with Geoff Trachtenberg and the Law Tigers team. Geoff has always been very accommodating and has made himself available when I have had questions. I'm especially pleased with his ability to explain legal terms and lay out a strategy for success. The entire team has been very supportive and I would highly recommend Geoff Trachtenberg to anyone who finds themselves in need of awesome legal representation!.

Where do I begin with writing this review? Since my motorcycle collision with an F150 truck back in September 2013, I have sought closure and compensation for the incident. I was pulled out in front of by this said F150 truck with no warning. After my couple of week stay in the hospital and quite a few large hospital bills later, I needed immediate representation to try and retrieve compensation for lost income, damage to myself and my motorcycle. I found this by a recommendation of a family friend when they referred me to Levenbaum Trachtenberg and the Law Tigers. When I first called the Law Tigers, I was greeted in my home as I was out of work at the time and could not really travel. They assured me that they would fight for me in the very best possible way legally. After many obstacles and some time later, my case went to trial and we won. I have this law firm to sincerely thank for this and I want to especially thank Mr. Henry and Mr. Trachtenberg for representing me during the toughest times during this case. These guys will fight for you and they are genuine, sincere and respectful. I have nothing but praise for the Law Tigers, thank you, you guys are AWESOME!!!

My work permit was lost in transit, and after 10 months of arguing with USCIS, I got my new work permit with approval date of July 2020. I had Arcelia's cell number on speed dial and every time I called she would answer, She became such a good friend, that I even invited her to my wedding next month. Thanks for everything and soon we will be working on my residency papers.

I want to thank this office, and especially Arcelia. I filed my DACA in February 2017, my work permit expired in July. I never got my work permit, Arcelia did tons of service request they would always email me back to tell me I would hearing from them in 15 days never did. Went and got a copy of my money order and Immigration cashed it on March 3, 2017. After arguing for a couple of months and showing the proof. I got my receipt in August 5, 2017, took my fingerprints and finally after my Attorney's office calling immigration and doing a total of 16 Service request I got Card last week. I was really frustrated and upset but one thing I can say is that every time I called Arcelia she would answer my call, and if she was busy she would tell me I will call you back and she did even if it was at 7 or 8 at night. Thank you very much. There was a point that I honestly thought I wasn't going to get it.

Originally, I was a client of the firm 24 years ago. Sadly, I had a need for an injury claim a second time in my life and had such a wonderful experience, that I reached out to them again. This time I had the pleasure of working with Joseph D’Aguanno and Matin Mathers. They have a wonderful team of lawyers and I was so lucky to have them at my back. I am exceptionally pleased with the settlement as well as how low they were able to negotiate my medical expenses. Due to their hard work, their fees as well as my medical bills, came out to less than just my medical bills would have been without them. Amazing. I would recommend this firm, and specifically Martin Mathers, to anyone needing an injury lawyer. Thank you all so much!

My divorce wasnt a mutual one, so I had to hire an attorney post my ex had already looked around the part of town I live in. It was a blessing in disguise as I traveled farther away to find Deshon. I knew she would be perfect for me in this hard time in life in just one meeting. It wasnt only for her compassion but her advise. She didnt tell me what I wanted to hear but what I should hear. Its always expensive to go through attorneys but if you employ one who is smart you get most out of your money. Her entire team is smart and paid a lot of attention to detail. It sometimes is hard to find time with Deshon but you will always get the right answer. I truly appreciated working with her entire team Staci, Sara, Natalie, Jessica, Lisa etc. It took over an year to get the final judgement and all settlement with custody etc. and I have no complaints. I was really impressed with Deshon at the hearing, she was against another 10 rated lawyer in the town and the opponent was totally out of her element and Deshon was smart, poised and eloquent in her part of defense. I am glad i had her on my side. Thanks!

I retained Attorney Barber's services to assist me with a good-cause exception for a fingerprint clearance card through the AZ Board of Fingerprinting. While I was ultimately denied a good-cause exception, it was not for lack of effort or legal skills of Mr. Barber. He took time to get to know me and understand the complexities of my case. He represented me in filing the initial paperwork to the Board, representing me at the administrative hearing, and filing a reply to the Administrative Law Judge's recommendation. At each stage of the process, Bretton was willing to help and put forth a really good effort to try to get my good-cause exception approved. Unfortunately, I believe Mr. Barber was correct in his assessment of the law as it applied to my case in that the Board should have granted my petition, but we don't live in a perfect world. I think my experience may signal the need for the legislature to take a closer look at which misdemeanor offenses should even be included on the statutory denial list and draft legislation that is fair to petitioners so simple misdemeanors cannot be grounds for denial in the first place. Based on my experience with Bretton Barber, I would not hesitate to recommend him to individuals facing situations that require good-cause exceptions or any other matters related to fingerprint clearance cards. Thank you for your representation, Bretton!

It's been several years since I had to use Jim, but all I can say is there is literally no one better :) If you think that some miracle can come along and take you out of your circumstances stop praying and call Jim. I owe him everything, I'd have lost my job like most, lost everything I owned, lost everything I know. But from a lot of research and prayers I met Jim. And that was that. Nothing sort of a miracle. And what's crazy is I referred my best friends nephew to him with even more severe and worse circumstances than I faced and he preformed another miracle for him as well. I honestly know he has a God given talent and if it's just you against the world and you got one call to make, than you sure as hell better call Jim E. Simpson. This guy is not like other high priced attorney's that send the bell boys with no idea what your facing to fight for you in court. He'll come in person with all his God gifted powers, knowledge and research and will bring you nothing short of a miracle . He's the best! #1 and worth every cent he charges!! I owe him everything I have, and I owe him my freedom today 5 years after using him!!! Thank you Jim E. Simpson!!!

Pat Gitre is the quintessential genius in the legal field. She is the epitome of a guardian angel and the attorney for any integrous human pursuing justice. Ms. Gitre embodies the fundamental qualities to fight and care for others’ human rights. Gitre’s legal brilliance is unparalleled, with a distinctive drive to circumspectly achieve the principal outcome. Her unremitting passion in the diligent pursuit of truth displays a level of tenacity and grit directly aligning to presenting an infallible case for her clients. I, a naïve novice to the unethical underworld of one’s capacity to make false assertions, engage personal political agendas, and crave unwarranted greed, ensued a necessitated need for Pat Gitre’s aptitude. Immediately upon the first conversation with Gitre, an inner certainty was established to aid my desire for sureness and ultimately substantiated such thorough investigating with my case. She worked with me personally, communicated with me directly, and cared about me genuinely. Ms. Gitre sought critical particulars and unapologetically asked direct questions to gain an all-encompassing depiction of what transpired with the false accusers. I instantaneously consumed a knowing that God placed her in my life, at this exact moment, to traverse my case proving my innocence. Justice consummated by Gitre’s relentless, unwavering, and uncompromising exertion for truth and rightness. She vigorously and victoriously achieved favor of the Court to grant a motion to Remand a Grand Jury indictment. Ms. Gitre’s persistence for aptness in a fair and unprejudiced representation fueled the drive to attack an area of legal proceedings that most rarely venture, much less conquer. She continued assertiveness to influence the dismissal of all deceptive charges brought against me, further corroborating that Pat Gitre was indeed my miracle vessel from The Lord. Pat Gitre’s keen awareness of societal behaviors, her ability to examine the most obscure details, along her presence of mind to professionally piece together an otherwise unidentifiable puzzle has earned her the rightful highest praise. She is direct yet compassionate in her steadfast approach with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. I solemnly advocate the recommendation of Pat Gitre and urge any human, necessitating such paramount justice, to retain the services of Pat Gitre, by far the most promising experienced attorney.

Patricia is very professional and straight to the point. She was very helpful and thorough in my case. She explained everything to me in detail. Thanks to her my charges were dropped from several possible felonies of transportation and sales of cannabis to a misdemeanor for possession of cannabis. I don't intend to get in trouble again out in AZ, but she would be the first person I call!

My wife and I have exclusively relied upon Pat for all of our legal needs, throughout our 14-year marriage. Pat successfully prosecuted all claims for us, and successfully defended all claims made against us. The opponents simply could not keep up with Pat's legal prowess. Pat is very thorough, and very smart. She can see way down the road, and much further than the opponent. She is truly a tremendous attorney. I recommend Pat without reservation. Mark

I contacted Nicole when my own Living Will attempt on one of those "do-it-yourself" websites went awry. I had started the living will and trust, but needed to make changes. The online host was not open to making changes, so I found and contacted Nicole. Given the circumstances of stepping into the middle of my self-perceived mess; Nicole was an ace in straightening everything out for me and getting the new documents back to me toot-suite. I fully trust Nicole's capabilities and will gladly use her again, as needed.

I went to Nicole looking for help with estate planning, and she was exactly what I needed. She explained a different options, gave me advice for handling tricky situations with various family members, and ultimately created a great set of documents. After reviewing the drafts and sending in some questions, she was very responsive--timely answering my questions and making changes to the drafts. The process was much quicker than I expected, and I am very happy with the results. I have already given her contact info to some of my friends. If you need help with your estate planning, I highly recommend Nicole.

I almost lost out on a lease to another prospective tenant but Nicole rushed to get my contract reviewed so that I was able to quickly sign on the perfect place! She walked me through everything and was very diligent. I was so impressed.

Kevin was assigned to my case as a public defender. If I had the money I would still definitely choose him. I had a criminal charge that I was worried would interfere with future schooling/job offers. I was so happy that he got the prosecutor to dismiss the case. He's very good at his job and honest. Straight to the point about how he wanted to approach the case. I appreciated his honesty and prompt responses if I'd leave messages for him on the phone. Would definitely recommend him to anyone in a bind.

Finding myself in the worst situation I have ever been in, Kevin was there with me through the entire process. It would be almost impossible to describe exactly what he means to me and my family. The first time we met, he was very open and honest about what I was facing and more importantly what he intended to do for me. This never changed throughout the entire process. He is the only man that I would ever trust to represent me or anyone close to me in the courtroom. I won't go into many specifics in this review but I quite literally would not be able to be home writing this right now if it wasn't for Kevin. He is an incredibly dedicated lawyer who cares very much about the success of the people he represents. I have now fulfilled much of my obligation to the courts and am satisfied with the resolution we were able to come to and I know that none of this would be possible of it wasn't for him. Even now, over a year since our first meeting, we are still in contact and he has always been incredibly supportive of my recovery and helping me to put all of this behind me and move forward with my life. And again, this is the life I get to live today because he believed in me and worked every single day to ensure my freedom.

Im glad I was lucky enough to end up with a lawyer as cool and good at his job as Kevin. I walked into this entire process blindfolded and really didn't know what to expect but Kevin helped me out big time by going over the process and helping me understand what to expect. Also, because I lived out of state Kevin did a great job of keeping in touch and giving me suggestions as we went along! Kevin was also a huge help by showing up for me at my first few court hearings working to get my case dismissed. Great guy and I reccomend his assistance to anyone looking for help with the court system!

I worked with Connor and AJ with Cantor Law firm on my family law case, and I was very impressed with their level of expertise and the quality of representation. Connor and AJ were extremely knowledgeable, thorough and excelled at writing motions, which really got my point across. I believe this made a significant difference in my case, as their clear and compelling arguments helped strengthen my position. Connor was extremely well-informed about every detail of my case, even recalling critical information from months prior. His remarkable memory and dedication demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and ensured that no detail was overlooked. While the quality of the service was excellent, the fees were more than I expected going into it. Despite the cost, I believe the representation was worth the investment because, in the end, my children are all that matter. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also excels in effective legal writing and strong representation, I highly recommend Connor but be prepared for higher-than-expected costs, as high-quality legal representation can come at a premium.

My husband and I are very glad to have used Cantor Law Group's attorney services! From the very beginning and in our initial consultation, we were cared for and recommend the best lawyer for our particular needs. This was the first time we hired a lawyer, and Andrea Banks made the whole process easy to understand and very efficient. She was always on top of our needs and wishes being completed, and would regularly check in with us! We were so happy to have a lawyer we could call immediately if there were any sudden questions we needed answered, or any concerns we had. Andrea and her assistant Kendra are a wonderful team to work with and get the job done as soon as possible! We HIGHLY recommend this law office, but more specifically these two wonderful women who made sure we were well taken care of in our particular case!

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.
