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. I felt confident knowing my matters were in their capable hands. I highly recommend Mackey, Butts & Whalen LLP to anyone seeking top-tier legal services for contract negotiations or local planning and zoning matters. They are a fantastic firm, and I will definitely turn to them again in the future.

Jamie Greenwald did an excellent job representing my son. Jamie knew how to play the game and strategize to get the best outcome. Jamie isn't a typical Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 attorney. He reached out on weekends and even as he was returning from vacation. Thank you Jamie, for all that you have done for my son.

Jamie Greenwald is the epitome of professionalism and courtesy. Not only did he provide invaluable legal counsel, but he was understanding of the nature of my case & the unique circumstances I faced, highly communicative, and always advocated on behalf of my best interest. He fought for the outcome I desired even when achieving it seemed impossible, he was accommodating throughout the entire endeavor, and overall, I am greatly appreciative of him and his services. If I or anyone else ever needs legal counsel again in the future, Jamie Greenwald has my utmost respect and is the first lawyer I would recommend!

I hired Ronald Tomlins to file a petition to the court for my ex not securing the correct life insurance policy and to be reimbursed for my legal fees by my ex. During our initial phone consultation, he said the email communications with my ex would be submitted with the petition as evidence. When he eventually submitted the petition he did not include the evidence and said we had to wait until after the court appearance when my ex was found to be in contempt of court. When my ex was found to be in contempt of court Ronald said we had to wait to submit evidence after my ex secured the correct life insurance policy. During the next court appearance reimbursement for my legal fees was brought up and a hearing ensued on the spot. The evidence was not submitted to the court and I was not awarded reimbursement. I filed an objection to the findings and the judge who reviewed the case said that no evidence of my emails were submitted to the court so he couldn't reverse the finding of the court. So Ronald Tomlins misled me into believing he would share the numerous emails that were evidence my ex willfully did not obtain the correct life insurance policy.

Watch out for this guy’s billing practices. The retainer agreement that he had me sign says he bills in 6-minute increments, but he doesn’t honor that. He inflated the time he worked on my case and up-charged every interaction to 15 minutes. He charged me 15 minutes for every single email that I sent and every single response that he sent back, even if the emails contained one sentence. When I asked him to reconsider and charge me for the actual time he spent on my case, he flatly refused. When I asked him why he charged in 15 minute increments instead of 6 he said it was “standard practice”. I checked with other lawyers who said he should be honoring his retainer agreement. They also said most of the emails that he charged me for would never even show up on their invoices. These billing practices are misleading and dishonest. BEWARE!! And don’t send emails unless you absolutely have to.

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! I "highly" recommend you and Priscilla to anyone who need your professional services. God bless you and best wishes in the future! Sincerely, Sharon L. Williams

It was an absolute pleasure having Danielle represent me during my divorce matter. Meeting her the first time for consultation was quite comfortable, she was easy to talk to and she patiently listened to all my concerns. I immediately decided to hire her and don't regret it. She was knowledgeable, super constructive and accommodating throughout the entire process; every step of my case was reviewed, discussed and all my emails/questions were immediately answered. If you are in need of a lawyer, look no further. I highly recommend Danielle Fenichel for the job. You will not be disappointed. P.S. Super affordable!!

I was not expecting much from an initial consultation but Heather was more than exceptional. Her attentiveness and advice on my situation was greatly appreciated given it was the first time we spoke. It would be all to easy to sign me up as a client and take my money but she didn't. That speaks to her charecter greatly. Heather, if I need your help I will be back! Thank you.

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.

  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.
