Fred was my attorney in my divorce case the most horrible thing anyone has to go through. Fred was there by my side and guided me down the legal path in getting the outcome that was best for my six year old son. Fred is always there and goes above and beyond even in my final court appearance I was emotional and Fred asked for time to check on his client. Patting me on the back Fred asked If I was ok. Fred is the only choice for your lawyer and if your looking elsewhere your looking in the wrong place!! Fred made the most difficult situation in my life easy and we got the outcome that was best for my son who is as happy as he can be with his mom and and dad splitting up. Call Fred you wont regret that decision I personally Guarantee it.

Wonderful experience. Mark helped us with both our property sale and purchase. He was prompt, provided us with his cell and made sure we knew he could be contacted at all times. He even called me directly on a day where the firm was closed and he was also sick to let me know our closing was good to go, just so we didn't have to wait. Explained everything throughly and in lain man's terms, didn't feed us jargon. The entire staff was helpful at the firm, every phone call was picked up or called right back and every email was answered promptly.

A Super Lawyer 5.0 If I had to cross mountains and rivers to have Counselor Metzger again, I would do without thought. He is a remarkable lawyer and made sure my son was compensated by a careless action of a business that denied any responsibility which caused serious injury to my son. With unrivaled expertise he provided premium communication from start to end and relentless pursuit for protecting my rights. His skillful mastery of the law made this process quick. It's one thing to provide a qualitative service and it's another thing to care. He does both.

He is accessible when you need him and great with communication. I am thankful he successfully sued for me in the face of overwhelming opposition. He's a great guy.

I supported my mother in finalizing her estate planning. She was able to receive the service as part of her retiree benefit package. Mr. Angelino was responsive, knowledgeable, respectful and accomodating to her needs as a senior person. We were both present for the signing of the documents. He spoke directly to her as she was the client, addressed her questions, and explained all details in layman's language. The receptionist/notary was patient and represented the office in an exceptional manner. We were both pleased with the outcome and grateful to be patrons of a local business owner. Many thanks to the Angelino Team!

I hired a few attorneys in my day for different issues. I have to be honest. I was never 100% satisfied with any of them. It seemed to me like I was just another client to that firm. I recently had another issue and was hesitant on calling any of those lawyers back. I was referred to Mr. Pisanelli by a family member, who told me I would not regret using him. I was very sceptical at first, even though a family member referred me. Not only was Mr. Pisanelli a great attorney, he is a gentleman . I got more out of my case than I actually expected. It was a family issue. So that meant more to me than anything. Thank you once again to the law firm of Gerard Pisanelli for giving me the piece of mind I needed to carry on my life. God Bless You

Dear Gregory, I received your letter, in addition to the document from the judge pertaining to my Chapter 13 case. I am thankful and grateful to you for accepting my case and ensuring that I felt comfortable during this "extremely" difficult time in my life. After losing my mom and sister on Christmas Day and the following New Years Eve years ago, my overall debts were overwhelming. Your patience, listening without making me feel as though I was a burden, caring, professionalism, sensitivity and counseling was far beyond my expectations, especially since I had never been through a bankruptcy. I can't say thank you enough for your encouragement, positive words, updated information to assist me, and determination to see me through this journey. You are amazing!

Christopher Ragucci and his team are all great! For my first time dealing with a personal injury lawyer, I’ve had a pleasant experience for what it is. Christopher, is respectful, understanding and most definitely hard working with persistence! From the moment I entered his office I was comfortable and at ease thanks to everyone’s positive attitude and concerns. Between him and his assistants I am always kept up to date on my case and they frequently check in on my physical condition. Although my case is not settled just yet, Christopher is working hard to get the best compensation possible for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer!

I had the pleasure of working with Mackey, Butts & Whalen LLP (specifically Cara and Josh) for both contract negotiations and local planning & zoning approvals, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Cara, Josh, and the rest of the team at MBW are all incredibly thorough, proactive, and always kept me informed throughout every step of the process.

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:

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.
