Ms. Black is competent and very knowledgeable in her field. She demonstrated a profound and accurate knowledge of the immigration laws. Her dedication to us the client was also profound as she was available to us each and every time we called upon her for assistance, answering our calls within minutes or hours, not days, even while on vacation. Ms. Black went above and beyond handling our Attorney/Immigration needs right up to the conclusion of our case. I will always recommend Ms. Vanessa M Black Esq. to anyone with immigration needs.

I have gone to many other offices and got the run a rounds and or poor customer service. Came to ABC Immigration and LOVED the customer service and my attorney Vanessa Black is very knowledgeable and committed to my case. At no time did I feel I was just another case or that they just wanted our money prices are reasonable as well. Loved the fact that I was able to have one on one conversations about my case with her she never came across rushed and actually listened overall Great experience and our waiver and petition has been approved. My husband is back home thanks to Vanessa's hard work and dedication. Have already recommended this office to friends. Don't waste your time looking around I already did that and this is truly your first and last stop.

After several failed attempts to have IEPs updated with meaningful and functioning goals, I was refereed to Rebecca. She had our IEPs for two boys with ASD revamped. The goals were practical and not redundant as they had been. Our youngest was potty trained in 2 months because he had the full support he needed at school to understand such an important life skill. He was also moved to a lower functioning class without any Prior Written Notice. This was immediately remedied and our son is now in the best placement and thriving. After several years of being told our older, non-verbal, son didn't qualify for ESY, Rebecca made it happen. She reminded the school district that he was at a Critical Stage in communication and not only did he qualify, but they also needed to purchase an Aug Comm. Device as well as the necessary software he needed to be successful and have a voice. The school district purchased it and trained staff to be able to accurately assist my son and his needs on a daily basis. Both of my children are now in better placements and have the tools needed to progress. I would not have been able to get them this far with the run around from the district, my anger and fear for their needs not being met, or without Rebecca's level headedness when I couldn't think clearly. She is an absolutely amazing advocate and lawyer.

Rebecca was wonderful when she came to a Pediatric Epilepsy Support Group meeting that I go to. She answered everyone's questions, from "what should be in an IEP" to "what's the difference between an IEP and 504". In this crazy special ed/IEP world, her knowledge and expertise was SO helpful and very much appreciated. I'd love to have her come back again, and I have referred her to many special needs moms.

She was very concerned and it was very important for her to make sure that my child got the services and tools they needed to have in everyday education. She is very consistent and always making the situation less stressful for the parents,which was amazing. I go to her for any questions and concerns I have and she always has answer and very knowledgeable. She is amazing and i would recommend her to anyone.

After 40 years of dealing with attorneys, Lisa is, by far, the most competent, honest, focused attorney I have retained. She is fair but direct and is your advocate throughout the process. Many attorneys will tell you that your case is their number one priority only to be disappointed by the absence of representation and lack of understanding your needs. With Lisa, you are not just another file on her desk but a priority. Hire Lisa and it's handled...don't...and I wish you well because you'll be disappointed. Great attorney!

Lisa Counters represented me with my disability benefit claim on my private disability insurance company and with my Social Security Disability Benefits claim. Lisa was with me from the start of my disability claim application providing knowledgeable advise, assistance with the many forms, and real answers to my many questions. The disability benefit claim process is intimidating and confusing. I could not have completed the disability claims process without Lisa's insight, expertise and aggressive work ethic. Lisa Counters was able to secure disability benefit awards for me from both my private disability insurance company and from the Social Security Administration. The disability benefit awards have improved the quality of my life. Before my disability, I was a businessman for over 30 years. I worked with many lawyers and law firms on a variety of matters. Based on experience, I can truly say that Lisa Counters and The Counters Firm provides excellent legal representation and remarkable service to clients like me with disability benefit claims.

He went to court for me when my work schedule did not permit me to be in person at the hearing. He was honest, professional, straightforward, easy to get ahold of and above all affordable. He worked with me from start to finish and made the complicated DUI process in Arizona easy and stress free. I would recomend him to anyone, he is definitely the guy to go to.

Above all and below none! Mr. David Kephart's intelligence of the law, and the swag he displays inside the courtroom is simply marvelous! Mr. Kephart litigated for me at a trial on 09/18/2014 where I was facing a Misdemeanor Charge (3 Counts) of Interfering with a Judicial Order/Domestic Violence. I knew in my heart that I did nothing wrong and Mr. Kephart fought aggressively to confirm my innocence. The court room is definitely Mr. Kephart's stage! Definitely the "Michael Jackson " of the court room. Mr. Kephart has great morals and values and is not afraid to let it be known as to what they are. This is the attorney you want legally representing you, but don't be surprised that you feel also as though you met a new best friend. Just a great honest and direct overall "heavenly" sent human being! Thank you again Sir and may God continue to bless you with the skills to help others.

When two of my kids needed a lawyer, David proved to be a hero. A year ago, my college-age daughter was charged with giving alcohol to a friend who was a minor. For a future teacher, this is a serious charge which would have kept her from ever receiving certification. David worked something out where her charge was reduced and she took a class. My son, who has had multiple legal problems due to marijuana use, recently retained David when a public defender was giving him poor advice. David got the more serious of two DUI charges removed and I think my son finally understands that pot-smokers in Arizona will pay a heavy price for their choices. David usually returns emails and texts promptly. He is generous with advice and his rates are fair and affordable. Be careful of major law firms that ask how much money you possess and then take everything you have. Go to an honest attorney instead. I can't recommend this attorney enough. He has been a hero to our family.

From my will and trust, to a simple demand letter, to representing my small business corporation she was there when I had questions, fought for me when I needed it, and provided the legal guidance using everyday language without sounding too legalese. Her rates are reasonable (her estate planning isn't much more than the do it yourself stuff available) and she always made me feel like an important client. Highly recommended.

I reached out to several law firms and so fortunate to select Richard Traulsen and his paralegal Coleen. He seemed the most knowledgeable and experienced in motorcycle injuries and the settlement they fought for me showed this through. His paralegal Coleen was phenomenal she steo by step walked me through all the documents I had to gather and answered all the questions I had promptly. They fought long and hard for me and won me a settlement that far surpassed my expectations. 10/10 would recommend this law firm for Motorcycle accidents.

Tyler is the absolute best lawyer that I could have used to represent me. Knowing that Tyler not only competed and won numerous awards when competing in mock-trial in college, but is also a coach for the ASU Mock-Trial Team, I knew that I was getting a lawyer who is top tier. Tyler took the time to understand my concerns, go through all of the details leading up to my hearing, and prepped me well for the day of the hearing. When my hearing came, I was extremely nervous, but he reassured me that everything would move forward smoothly and there would be nothing to worry about. Tyler was phenomenal with his execution of our opening and closing statements, as well as with his cross-examination of me to bring to light the facts that may not have been known to the board. Tyler's knowledge and expertise is the reason why my case was won, and I know for a fact that if it weren't for him, I would not have had the favorable outcome that we hoped for. If you want a lawyer who doesn't just know how to win, but also understands how to comfort and support you amidst the entire process Tyler from Doran Justice is your guy. And if you need any extra reasons as to why you should choose him, look at his resume and his willingness to give back to and help coach the future lawyers of the world -- as it is evident that he genuinely cares about every person that he helps.

Mr. Jamieson went above and beyond the call of duty from day one. I'm one to ask a lot of questions but he didn't mind at all. A matter of fact, he always answered my e-mails immediately. His answers were always explained so that I could understand and then some. Mr. Jamieson always would do what he said he would do. If he wasn't able to address one of my questions at that particular moment, he would say so. He was completely up front and honest about everything all the time. Mr. Jamieson, definitely has renewed my trust in attorneys. I wish there were more like him out there. Thanks Mr. Jamieson for all the hard work you put into my case. Words can never express how much I appreciate all you did for me. Kathy

I recently had to short sale my investment property and enlisted the help of Mr. Robert Nagle. Real estate to me is another language that I don't speak so I wanted to make sure I would be protected and have the guidance and support of a professional to help me make the right choices. Mr. Nagle was able to answer all my questions and provide a few solid options on our first call. I was then able to execute the short sale of my property with Mr. Nagle's assistance. He was able to catch several pitfalls in contracts and deeds, saving my money and not to mention a lot of headaches down the road! Many people do not realize how many potential pitfalls they can run into when short selling their property so enlisting an experienced individual like Mr. Nagle is absolutely necessary. I would highly recommend Mr. Nagle. He was worth every penny and more!

It seems unfathomable that an honest individual’s hard work and smart investment decisions can become their emotionally imprisoning liabilities. However, this is exactly what can result from the individual’s naivety and via an unfair “justice” system and I experienced it firsthand. I found Doug’s website as a result and he and his staff's skill, compassion, and attention to detail gave me the assurance I needed in safeguarding my unprotected investments. Doug developed a protection plan tailored to my unique situation, significantly minimizing the threat exposure of my unprotected investments and increasing the likelihood of their availability to beneficiaries I select. If you are fortunate enough to personally own any assets other than a homesteaded property and/or a retirement account, don’t take that ownership for granted. Instead, ensure your continual control of those assets by putting a solid protection strategy in place developed by the best there is- call Doug Lodmell.

Without a doubt if you are looking into purchasing an asset protection trust, Mr. Lodmell is your answer. As a professional in the healthcare industry, one is always unsure of all of the hidden land mines that one encounters on a daily basis. From the predatory attorneys, the employee's of your practice, the non stop governmental regulations, and the day to day risk of working on patients, asset protection is a must in this day and age I did a ton of research before deciding on choosing Mr. Lodmell. I too was skeptical on picking an attorney who lived in a different state, but after talking with Mr. Lodmell several times ,and personally hearing from several of his current clients, it was clear that I had found my asset protection attorney. Mr. Lodmell has always been there to take my phone calls, and too answer any questions that have arisen throughout the years. He is highly respected from not only his peers in the legal field, but in the healthcare field as well. The piece of mind that one has after obtaining an asset protection trust through Doug has been priceless, and should not be overlooked. Not having to look over your shoulder or constantly worrying about people trying to take what you have worked hard for during your career has been one of the most valuable features of his trusts. Don't be fooled by people who are offering asset protection trusts that are lower in price. Remember, you get what you pay for. I wanted a family insurance policy to protect my family ,so I only wanted the best. Doug is the best of the best, and I highly recommend him to my fellow healthcare providers.

I am writing this as a mother of 4, two of whom grew in our hearts and were grafted into our family through adoption. Kathy was indespensible in our adoption journey. Not only does she have decades of experience in adoption law, and has placed over 2000 children in the arms of their parents, she is honest, trustworthy, ethical, humble, wise, authentic, a fighter, gracious, brilliant, and is able to see all angles and perspectives involved in adoption situations. Without a doubt she was the most crucial and instrumental piece in waking my family through an unexpected, very trying, long, hard and complicated legal journey. She is focused and uncompromising in seeking the best interests of children first. She cares deeply for the hearts of adoptive and birth families alike, and she practices law at the highest level, morally and ethically. She is the first resource I refer anyone seeking to adopt. If you are just beginning the adoption journey or in the middle of it Kathy brings wisdom, insight, and expertise. We could not have walked the road laid out for us without her counsel and friendship.

When Isabel first took our case it didn't look very promising. Our mother lost her job and insurance benefits in the summer of 2016 and she passed the following winter. She did not successfully transfer her life insurance to a separate policy so we didn't expect to receive anything. Isabel fought with the insurance companys to get our family the life insurance, and she went above and beyond when it came to making sure all our affairs were in order. She communicated to us every step of the way, and even if we didn't get the payout I would still highly recommend Isabel and her firm to anyone needing legal assistance.

Nat is a sharp, diligent and DEDICATED attorney. He gave me a very quick history on precedents of my legal issue, gave me some options, made recommendations and came up with a plan. He was instrumental in not only resolving a frustrating experience with my HOA.....but also set the scenario up so that if they *didn't* acquiesce, then we would be in a particularly advantageous position, legally speaking. Fortunately, that never had to play out, but he was ready to be there. If you want a lawyer who will listen, take your side, tell you your options and potential/likely outcomes, and is thinking multiple steps ahead of your adversary, and it willing to be generous and judicious with your/his time....then, hire him.

Supreme! It is unarguably true that this firm’s dedication, professionalism, and skill are without equal. As lawyers, as professionals, and as people they are of the highest kind, quality and order. There is no possible way I could fully express how wonderful Gary and Hanna of this firm are both at their profession and as human beings. I had heard so many horror stories about attorneys in the past that when I found myself in the position of having to find a family law attorney I was consumed with panic and concern about finding the best firm to take on my case. After researching multiple firms of the area I came across Gary Frank P.C. and I decided to call. I was surprised when Gary himself answered the phone, it wasn’t a receptionist or a machine, and in that moment I knew that this was the type of firm I needed to help me navigate through this difficult time. Gary listened attentively to me in what I could only describe as the most panic-stricken state I have ever been in, he never rushed me off the phone, nor did he turn me away despite my being without a stable form of income and his knowing that there was nothing that could guarantee that he and his firm would be compensated for their work aside from my promise to him. Gary set a meeting two days after we spoke and there I met both Gary and Hanna, his co-counsel, and they were very adept at explaining all of my options and providing suggestions that made the most sense for my case. They were open and honest every step of the way and regardless of the day or time they made themselves available to me whenever I had a question or concern. I remember many times calling Gary and Hanna on a Saturday or Sunday during lunch or in the evening and they always took my call and took the time to listen and work through whatever was happening. I consider this a rare and incomparable form of practice and a testament to the fact that Gary and Hanna truly care about their clients and the cases they choose to take. They are not only experts of their field they are also skilled at understanding the needs and concerns of their clients. The entire experience was made easier because of them. They were thorough and competent but most importantly they understood that this case was not about myself or the father of my child but about protecting and fighting for the best interest of the three month old little boy they would be representing. Most lawyers are complaisant and simply follow what the client wants but both Gary and Hanna never hesitated to tell me when they felt we should take a different approach ensuring I understood the importance of every decision we made. They were logical and rational while still understanding the needs of the client throughout the entire process. Most importantly to me I felt like my child was in the best legal hands from start to finish. These are the types of people you want handling your case without question or hesitation your best option for any child custody matter. We we were granted relocation and legal decision making for custody of my infant son.

Gary was recommended to me by a relative. I was in a long term abusive marriage and had had enough and was ready to put an end to it. while being "ready" i was scared to death as i was someone with low self esteem and so afraid of how my Ex would respond. Gary gave me courage to stand up for me and helped me work thru my insecurities so that i was able to testify in court and breath. He walked me through all the steps of what we were going to do so that I understood. he was always ready to answer any questions/concerns i had in a timely manner (and i had a lot). I have recommended Gary to several friends going thru divorce and i will continue to do so. I can't thank him enough for his help and what he has done for me.

He is aggressive when he needs to be, but he is always pragmatic and solutions-oriented. And he's not afraid of going to trial and fighting for you (he's very skilled inside of a courtroom). He promptly returns phone calls and emails, understands the law, and will give you candid feedback, even if it is not what you want to hear.

My wife and I had done quite a bit of research as to the ins and outs of the laws pertaining to an employment contract. As a result, the further we researched, the more questions we had, so we finally decided we needed professional input. We contacted James Cool and made an appointment for an after-business-hours telephone call. Within 30 minutes of our conversation, Mr. Cool had not only answered all of our questions but answered using practical examples that were easily absorbed.

I have seldom written a comment like this on an entirely unsolicited basis. However, in this case I was so impressed by the customer service Mr. Stephen A. Johnson provided that I felt compelled to go on record with my praise. I have worked with Stephen for over 2 years now; I have observed him in action defending clients on jury trials and I believe he truly deserves this praise. In an era where exceptional one-to-one customer service excellence has virtually disappeared especially from the attorney-client industry, the passion for Mr. Stephen A. Johnson’s job truly shines through and should be held up as an example for others to try to emulate. What has particularly impressed me about the level of customer care was that Mr. Stephen A. Johnson seemed truly passionate about his work. In closing, Stephen is confident in his abilities, but also takes realistic assessments of his weaknesses. He seems to see beyond his own perspective. A great lawyer, needs to be able to see cases and situations from the perspective of not just his client, but also that of the opposing counsel, judge, and jury. And this is what Stephen does.

We all run into personal challenges throughout life and things happen. When I first engaged with Stephen he was soft spoken and young, which raised red flags for me. In our minds we all want to think of our personal legal defense as bull dogs, right? Well, I soon realized that our perception of what we want is not at all what we NEED. After talking with him, I was quickly introduced to a new approach. For example, if the top rated attorney (pit-bull) walked into the courtroom and everyone hates him you have to ask yourself how far you really think you'll get come time for negotiating? On the flip side of that, Stephen walked into the courtroom and there were smiles all around. I mean clerk of court, judges clerks, assistant prosecutor, and other attorneys. How far do you think you'll get if everyone loves your lawyer? Exactly! It's about finding the right fit with an attorney that has a relationship to leverage. People love this guy and want to work with him which will help your case in the long run. Stephen is very friendly, charming, quick witted, genuine, but more importantly - he cares about his clients. Stephen was excellent in negotiating and got me what I was hoping for (anger management classes). When I 1st walked into the courtroom for the final disposition, he was actually on his personal cell phone using my home address trying to research the closest location for me - that's the kind of lawyer you should hire! I will continue to recommend Stephen Johnson to anyone who seeks a criminal defense attorney. Stephen would be an asset to any case and any defendant who needs a trusted legal counsel. He is very easy to work with and truly amazing at what he does. Let's hope I don't run into another legal situation, but in the event - I now have him on my side.

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?

  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?

    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:
