Mark took the time to get to know me, my needs and respected what I wanted and what I felt comfortable with. He kept me informed and treated me as if I was his only client. He is respected by his peers as a tough but straight foreward opponent. That goes a long way when it comes to negotiations and in the courtroom. I whole heartedly recommend Mark to you.

I've been fighting IRS for 8 years. My Tax Preparers had done fraud on my returns for 3 years, not knowing about it until the end of the 3rd year. I had tried to do the right thing on my own, but nothing seemed to work. Then I found Stephen Boulton & his associates. They made progress fast, resolving the issue within months. Never giving up, they were very aggressive, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. Finally my IRS nightmare came to an end with the help from Stephen. I can breathe again! Thank you!

Mr. Boulton has been advising me with my new business that I started this year. After Mr Boulton payed close attention to my federal irs issues I was facing as a start-up business. He educated me on the things the irs would not. And for that matter, no other lawyer in Phoenix was willing to guide me to the things Mr Boulton did. In my opinion he went into action on my problems immediately. That shows me he genuinely cares about his clients.

Facing an overwhelming barrage of intimating communication from the IRS, Mr. Jojola calmly and expertly guided me through a very difficult time. His keen knowledge in dealing with the taxing entities was instrumental in the resulting positive outcome. Facing life changing tax burdens that alter everyday thoughts through fear and despair, can take a heavy emotional toll on every aspect of ones well-being. Mr. Jojola’s thoughtful and supportive nature helped to give me the confidence that, “All would be ok” in time. He was right. A resounding endorsement from a grateful individual.

He is a consummate professional. While others viewed it an impossible situation, Gary systematically looked at every possible contingency and developed alternative plans supported by his keen understanding of the law. I can't imagine going through a horrible situation without such a competent attorney. Gary is a great advocate; honest, exacting, knowledgeable, and intellectually gifted. A fantastic lawyer!

Gary is an amazing attorney. He was actually referred to my family from a different attorney who does the same work. When the other attorney heard what we were trying to accomplish, he said we needed to call Gary because he is the best and he is absolutely correct! We were able to quickly get a guardian/conservator in place and he certainly turned a very difficult, stressful situation into a manageable one. He got things done with lightening speed as I'm sure this could been a long drawn out expensive case. It says a lot when another attorney will turn down business to refer you to best. You will not go wrong hiring Gary to represent you and we certainly appreciate and thank him for everything he has done.

We obtain the services of attorney Ellison who took her case and assisted us ultimately leading to the judge granting us actual litigation. That means a lot to a small business attorney Ellison was fair his costs was reasonalve. He communicated all actions of the litigation and informed us of what to expect after the litigation.

I would classify my divorce as really messy. But it didn't start that way. My ex wife and I entered into a decree together by agreeing to what anyone would deem as a good deal for both of us and then within a few months she wanted more, like a lot more. She wanted my pension, more alimony, more child support (which I already was deviating UP) and that is just to name a few. Basically she wanted to have a "take me to the cleaners party' So without knowing anything about him I hired Jonathan Brooks. I was worried because I had actually gone above and beyond to take care of my ex even though two of our daughters were living with me. And had I lost the case it would have really hampered my ability to live. What worried me the most is that I kept great records and I needed a lawyer who could understand exactly what I was saying --- No I didn't hide any money and here is my proof. No she agreed to not take the pension and here is the proof. No her claim of not knowing anything about the finances is wrong and here is why. Yes she had access to all the finances despite her sayings she didn't and here is the proof. Yes she is lying about this and this and this and here is the proof. There was a lot for my attorney to learn and I mean a lot. But he was thorough with his notes and that is what I needed. Someone who could make the judge understand what I knew. I had three priorities 1) keep the alimony the same 2) keep my pension 3) keep the financial arrangement the same. Due to Jonathan's hard work the judge denied my ex wife's motion for a new trial and I won my case. We went to mediation on a few minor issues and I was totally happy with the result of those. In a nutshell I thought I won in a landslide. My lawyer was just better than her lawyer. I would be willing to speak with any of you if you have a question and I am sure Jonathan knows who I am so if anyone asks for a reference from this post and goes through Jonathan i would be more than willing to give you more information but because of what I do for a living I am going to keep this post anonymous. But to close I was completely satisfied with the results I had using Jonathan Brooks and you would be wise to consider him for your divorce.

Look no further if your ever in need a the BEST Defense Attorney in AZ! I live in California and was so scared when I was trying to find an Attorney for my son who made a very stupid mistake. I was referred to John by another AZ Attorney who didn't have time for my son's case. As soon as I spoke to John, he made my anxiety attack disappear. I knew from the start he was experienced and could get us through this nightmare; and he did. John kept in touch with me throughout the whole process and answered all of my questions and made me and my son feel at ease. John also worked with me on his fee. I know this kind of hard work is expensive, but John worked out a very reasonable fee and saved us money. Thank you John, for all your hard work and dedication to my sons case. We appreciate you!

I cannot stress enough how much John Moore did for me in a time of crisis, frustration, fear and stress. From the minute I called his office and talked to his partner, they were both very responsive, friendly and started looking into my case right away, before even meeting with John in person. During my initial meeting with John I was a complete wreck. I was nervous, embarrassed, about to cry, and my mind was all over the place. From the very beginning of him offering me water and walking me to his office, I already felt better knowing there was NO JUDGEMENT and that he really just wanted to listen to the details of what had happened during my free consultation. John was very friendly and easy going, and didn't have that "cocky" lawyer appeal I had seen before and didn't like might I add. He was very honest with the fact that I did, indeed, need a lawyer and that it would be expensive but that he would charge way less than other "big name" lawyers. He gave me the time to shop around and said to contact him if I decided to move forward with him as my representation with absolutely no pressure. He was exactly right! I went to 3 other lawyers and he spot on about the price (competitors being anywhere form 3-6k more)! Not only was the price at others TOO high for me to afford or pay, but the environment and personality's of the others I visited were dreadful. One was a complete salesman and then asked me for 10k, another was basically falling asleep during my consultation and then said, "well, there isn't much I can do," and the third was so unmemorable that I can't even recall anything about him! While money was a factor in choosing the right lawyer, I am a big "gut instinct feeling" type person, and knew that I would ultimately choose the person who best resonated with me! I feel lucky and blessed, because not only was that person John, but he was the most affordable as well. I truly believe it was destiny for me to find him. Specifically, once hired, John kept me in the loop at all times and more importantly- did everything I needed him to do. He asked the right questions, gathered all of my information, handled the court dates and mostly, kept me calm. I kept asking him if there is anything I should do, or how worried should I be? His response was always calm and with a smile, "Don't do anything and don't worry... you really don't have to worry." This was so hard to hear because I WAS worried. Worried about my future, going to jail and just in general, was a big ball of stress. He totally helped calm me down and even assured me it was okay for me to cross the US/Mexico border to go on a retreat I had already planned! Not only did he tell me to go, but he told me to have a great time! About my case, he handled it well... beyond well... COULDN'T HAVE GONE BETTER! I was charged with a Felony 4 for a first offense shoplifting case. I was so afraid of reading about my future and what being a "felon" would do to my life. Not only did he get it dropped to a Misdemeanor, but he also pushed up on the prosecuting lawyer to allow me to take the shoplifting diversion program, in which once completed, the case would be closed. Oh happy day! He did it and all I had to do was show up to court, plead "no contest" and then agree to complete the diversion program, which I did within two weeks! In my opinion, John went ABOVE AND BEYOND what he had to. I learned more in his free consultation than the other three free consultations combined! In conclusion, if you are looking for a lawyer I CANNOT stress enough how perfect John is for the job! While he was my criminal defense lawyer, I am confident that whatever your legal issue he could help and do so with confidence, a smile and grace! He was honestly the best person to help me navigate around a legal system I know nothing about! You will not be sorry if you need to hire him for any reason!!!

I cannot even begin to describe the gratitude I have for Steven Meyerand. As I am sitting here a free man looking forward to every waking moment with my family. He and Jared are an amazing legal team to have on your side. I was charged with a class 3 felony for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon which carries a minimum prison sentence of 5yrs in Arizona. I did not do what I was being charged with but I made some critical mistakes in not fully cooperating and antagonizing law enforcement on the night of the incident. I was completely guilty for contempt of deputy but not for what I was being arrested and charged. Needless to say when the State refused to let the case go we went to trial. The trial took 3 horrible nerve racking weeks to get through with hours upon hours of testimony. His guidance and reassurance during the trial helped me and my family get through this trying ordeal. At the end of it all he convinced the jury I was Not Guilty. Arizona does however have what is called lesser included charges, which for this case was a class 6 felony for Disorderly Conduct with a Deadly Weapon. The lesser charge if found to be dangerous would have been a minimum of 1.75 yrs in prison. I was found Guilty for the lesser charge but since he convinced the jury it was non-dangerous it was left as an undesignated felony with 3yrs probation, which means I can work to get it reduced to a misdemeanor. See! that is how amazing he is, I know all of this now because of his commitment, knowledge and professionalism to making me understand my rights and options. Steven guided me through every phase with a full understanding of what was happening with honesty and integrity. I feel this was the best possible outcome short of a full dismissal and I have him to THANK.

I would highly recommend Steven Meyerand of AM Law Firm for any and all DUI Cases in Arizona. He was very understanding, easy to talk to, thorough and very professional throughout the entire process. My DUI case was very unique due to the fact that it was a "re-opened case." Steven's knowledge as a former prosecutor was extremely evident when he was able to have my case "DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE". He always made me feel that my case was a top priority and really helped me throughout this emotional and stressful experience in my life. Thank you Steven and AM Law Firm!

My husband and I highly recommend Gary to anyone who is overwhelmed trying to handle the aftermath of a car accident. Gary has brought us safely though two totaled cars, serious injuries, and the tangled web that is insurance/health care. We found Gary to be conscientious, effective, and an excellent communicator. He provides a reasonable overview of the initial claim, and the case as it evolves, which is crucial to a solid resolution. Having Gary navigate our insurer and the other driver's insurer made all of the difference to our being able to rest and heal from our injuries.

With my case he always had a back up plan and made sure I was updated once information has arrived. It was easy to get into contact with him which effective communication is crucial amounts your lawyer and yourself.

I had the opportunity to have a consultation with Mr. Gross about a legal situation I am currently in. He was extremely helpful to me. To me a genius is someone who can take information that would be impossible to understand and make it accessible to anyone. So when I consult with an attorney I expect to hear ...this is the trouble your in and this is how much its going to cost. I do not expect to want to take back the last ten years of my life and become an attorney myself to join the good fight! I think they call that inspiration, and that is what you need from a lawyer. And getting a genius doesnt hurt..

Adam and the DM Cantor team were incredible in handling my DUI Case. It was my second time getting a DUI and the team was successfully able to get my case down to a first time offense. I ended up with a first time fine, home detention and ultimately a reduced penalty in the State of Arizona for a second-time offense. The result of my case was a very favorable considering that a normal second time DUI requires a minimum of 6 days in jail and 24 of home detention and more significant fines and fees. I can't express my gratitude to Adam and the DM Cantor team enough. I would recommend them to anyone.

Melissa and her wonderful team helped me during very trying time with my divorce challenge case. My previous attorney had warned me that I would most likely lose. Melissa however from the get go was confident and based on the facts knew I had a solid case. She quickly helped me in responding to motions and fending off the unreasonable legal attacks I faced. Thanks to Melissa, we would win complete legal victory in court and I was vindicated. I would definitely work with her for any family case if ever needed and would highly recommend her services.

I am thoroughly impressed with the way Melissa Benson and her team handled my highly complex case. Melissa was able to identify the most cost-effective solutions. When the opposing side unnecessarily escalated the conflict, her advice and resources became pivotal in turning the tide of my case. It was clear that Melissa has earned tremendous respect among her peers and, most importantly, judges, due to her extensive knowledge, integrity, and outstanding reputation. Having Melissa represent me in this challenging situation not only increased my confidence but also alleviated a considerable amount of anxiety that had built up over three years of little progress. Remarkably, she was able to resolve my case in under a year and effectively thwart the opposing side's attempts to revive the conflict. I highly recommend Melissa Benson for anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled attorney!

Jimmy D. Rohde is the best attorney I have ever worked with and I was so fortunate to find him. I was overwhelmed trying to settle my mother’s estate she died unexpectedly, witout a will. I don't live in Arizona, so I had to find an attorney who could help me “long distance”. After making numerous phone calls, I found that most attorneys either didn’t want to tackle my particular situation, or they wanted money up front before they would talk to me, I found Jimmy Rohde. My first “meeting” with Jimmy was by phone. I had so many questions to ask i.e. where to start, what can I do and not do etc? He immediately seemed to grasp my situation, and explained things clearly and thoroughly. I never felt rushed, nor did he limit the number of questions I asked. After the 1st phone call, I knew Jimmy was the person I wanted to consult. When I flew back to Phx. to meet with him, Jimmy took the time to understand the "difficult dynamic" that is my family. He was 100% professional, but exuded a warmth and friendliness, that made me feel totally relaxed during that meeting. He displayed an exceptional level of expertise and provided me with clear explanations. He encouraged me to ask questions, no matter how insignificant or simple I thought they were. Since I'm out of state, I wasn’t sure what papers of my mother’s I needed to keep vs. what to get rid of, so at that 1st meeting I brought a box "filled with folders". Jimmy didn’t say a word, he just looked over the “mounds” of paperwork (most of which he probably didn’t need to see), and gave me sound advice. He asked detailed questions, and then gave me several options on how to proceed. He explained everything in terms I easily understood. I left feeling well informed and having a clearer direction of how best to proceed. It was clear from the onset that Jimmy was very knowledgeable and truly wanted the best for me. After the estate was "settled", family (from another country) entered into the scene. I was ruffled and emotional. Again, Jimmy was a Godsend. He was calm and empathetic while remaining professional. Jimmy's legal experience, along with his warmth and kindness, gave me hope at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a good resolution seemed next to impossible. He went above and beyond his obligation, and I couldn’t have asked for better advice or services. I know this is a long review, but it comes from the heart. I would recommend Mr. Jimmy D. Rohde to anyone needing a lawyer for probate and/or trust law without reservation.

My case was a contentious guardianship/conservatorship dispute, where some members of the family were trying to block my mother with Alzheimer's from getting memory care. It was a heartbreaking, traumatic, and long-drawn out process. Jimmy literally saved the day, by doing everything legally possible to ensure that my Mom got the care she needed. Throughout it all, he was kind, thoughtful, and committed to seeing the right thing happen for my mother. He is excellent at this work. Very strongly recommended!

Nancy was a life saver when our lives got turned upside down in a ugly real estate battle with a mentally unstable, unethical, crazy woman and her family. I don’t know what we would’ve done if we didn’t have Nancy! We are so grateful to have had her on our side while we went through this terrible situation. It starts with my husband and I driving through our neighborhood in seeing the most adorable house with a “FOR SALE” sign in the front yard. We love it. We make an offer on it. They except it. We put our current house up for rent, we find a tenant she signs a lease agreement, she’s packing her bags getting ready to move in. We are about 2 1/2 weeks into the escrow process, we receive message from the sellers real estate agent that our seller has decided she doesn’t want to sell her house anymore. Yes, we know that real estate contract is a legally binding contract. Seems like she has to go through with it… Thing is, she simply will not cooperate now. Her mother gets involved calls our loan officer threatens him. The home appraiser needs access into the house, they won’t allow him access. They won’t reschedule. And they won’t give a reason for backing out. And we wanted to be agreeable, we’re reasonable people, but now we have nowhere to live we have already put our other house up for rent the only option for us was to hire an attorney. We end up hiring Nancy, and even though these people are crazy and unreasonable and become nasty she works it out! and we get our “dream house” after all.

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.
