I can’t speak highly enough of Monroe Mann and the incredible support he provided during my divorce. From day one, Monroe demonstrated not only deep legal expertise but also genuine compassion for my situation. He was always available to answer questions, explain complex legal processes in a way that made sense, and offer guidance during what was a very difficult time in my life. Monroe’s strategic thinking and attention to detail were key in ensuring that my interests were fully protected, and he worked tirelessly to achieve a fair outcome for me. His negotiation skills were exceptional, and he handled every aspect of the case with professionalism and integrity. Throughout the process, Monroe made sure I felt supported, understood, and confident in the decisions we were making together. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also empathetic and dedicated to achieving the best results, Monroe Mann is the attorney you want on your side. I am incredibly grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of legal representation in a divorce.

I was recommended to Mr. Fremer’s firm by my uncle who has also been a client of the firm. I was involved in an auto accident when I was making a left hand turn and was broadsided by the other driver. I was determined to be 75% at fault by my insurance company and was sued by the other driver. Mr. Fremer aggressively represented me in the matter and was able to settle my case for the entire policy limit of $100,000 in a timeframe that exceeded my expectations. I hired Mr. Fremer because my uncle said that he’d fight for me. My uncle was right. I am very happy with the results and absolutely recommend his firm.

Mario Demarco represented my wife in court and was a pit-bull among poodles. We won our case and the counter suit was abruptly dropped. :-) We would recommend Mario anytime, every time. Thank you, Mario DeMarco.

Bernard helped us handle every detail of a long and involved condo negotiation in the city. In the end, we were able to close on a contract that was favorable to us, and all sides agreed to terms. Could not have done it without Bernard's advice and guidance every step of the way. Thanks, Bernard!

I met Mr. Mario Demarco over 20 years ago. I interviewed over 7 Immigration lawyers who were charging my husband between between $15,000 to $25,000 to get his immigration status straight. Mr. Mario Demarco was honest and straightforward to us. Never hesitate to explain to us the legal process. Mr. Mario never took advantage of us like other lawyers did from all the different counties in the rounding areas in NY. (Long Island, Brooklyn, Queen and N.Y, N.Y.) My husband received his alien card 4 year and two months earlier than expected due to the Immigracion delays. I have not check his record for recent year. I will do! I hope he still be the lawyer I met over 23 years ago.

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.
