I don't even know where to begin. I was injured 33000+ ft in the air during a flight. I did not know what to do first after dealing with doctors, surgeons, and nurses while trying to heal. I called a large legal firm that advertises in North Carolina to see if they could help me. After being grilled like I was the problem, my sister-in-law who lives in Memphis, researched attorneys in my area and gave me a choice of 2. Well I called James Crouse and the first thing he told me was that he would help me put a letter together for the airline and he would do it for free. Then he said "you don't have to go with me as your lawyer, but you will need a good lawyer in order to handle the big airline." I felt so taken care of and he was very honest about everything from the start. He worked on my case for over 4 years. He prepared my husband and I for everything that could happen. Jim came to our house when I could not walk and he continued to come to the house when I was healing. I could ask him any question and get an answer even if it was one that was not in my favor. I never want to have to go through something like this again, but if I have to, I will call Jim as soon as possible. Even opposing counsel liked him and that makes a huge difference in the outcome of a case. Just FYI...... he has entertaining stories about his life that go on for days! He kept me on my toes. Thank you Attorney Crouse!

I contacted Jim Crouse after my husband was killed in a small plane crash while learning to fly. If tthe accident were due to equipment malfunction, I wanted to keep it from happening again. Jim relentlessly investigated all angles and exhausted all resources while remaining kind and sensitive to my concerns and desires. While we weren't able to determine a cause, Jim obtained a satisfactory settlement with one of the flight instructor's insurers and I am confident our best effort was made. I would recommend Jim for his professional expertise as well as his personal sensitivity. I'm grateful to Jim for his help during a very difficult time.

I had the opportunity of working with Mr. Crause regarding a FAA infraction. The case was complex and required many hours of research and fact finding. Many times I had thought that we had came to a dead end road. These roadblocks had given me the feeling of wanting to give up. Somehow, Mr Crause was able to put it in four wheel drive and go through these road blocks. His knowledge and ability to keep me focused was something I never expected out of a lawyer. He was also able to relay a peace of mind in an otherwise troubling situation for me. Being such a complex case, I was worried about the ability to pay for the services. Mr. Crause was able to consolidate and multi task using every available minute in each hour. These tactics reduced the bill beyond my expectations. We have finished work on my case but still stay in touch over the months. This is just another reason why I am writing this review and recommend him to everyone I talk to in the aviation community.

Recently I engaged Ms. Washburn to represent me in an automobile injury accident in which I was involved. I work in the legal profession with many attorneys, and know how unresponsive and uninterested they can be. Ms. Washburn gave my case the attention it needed, kept me informed, responded quickly to my questions and concerns, and resolved the case promptly to my satisfaction. She was very thorough and listened and learned everything about my case, and then she provided me with the benefit of her legal knowledge and expertise.

As a former owner/operator of two restaurants, I have had my fair share of dealing with lawyers in my lifetime......... That being said, Shortly after my Mother passed away, I found myself in a sticky situation with my sibling and it came time to find a litigation attorney. Lucky for me, the Estates attorney referred me to Greg Connor and his law group. From day one I knew Greg was not only a brilliant attorney but his kindness and compassion for my situation was second to none. He talked me down off the ceiling more than once with his calming effect. He replied to my emails, kept me informed and actually answered his phone when I called. His demeanor in the courtroom setting was stellar! His presence and presentation of my case was powerful! I couldn't have asked for anything better. Greg Connor put an end to my nightmare once and for all.....for that I am truly thankful. I strongly recommend Greg Connor and Connor Law Group if you're looking for a knowledgable, reliable and caring attorney.

Greg is extremely knowledgeable about the laws of is craft in and out of the state; he was my official law book for any circumstance I asked about.

Mariana has represented me for almost a decade starting with my separation in 2013. Unfortunately, I’ve needed her assistance navigating a difficult physical and legal joint custody of 4 children ever since. We’ve been through 2 parental coordinators (do not recommend), mediation, custody modifications and addendums, depositions of my ex and his multiple live in girlfriends (my personal favorite strategy), police and CPS involvement and attempted restraining orders. Much more but after awhile it’s just embarrassing. Mariana has a good memory for my case which is super thick at this point. She once read 8 years of our family wizard emails before a deposition. Mariana has a good working relationship with her industry colleagues (when my ex hires and fires new attorneys Mariana gets them up to speed). Mariana is logical and non reactive. She thinks in terms of moves and counter moves. If you are looking for revenge and want a man hating bulldog that will bury your opposition in motions and BS I would keep looking. Marina isn’t going to be your big sister, BFF or your therapist and charge you for it. If you want a thoughtful, smart, and responsive attorney that will represent your interests she’s a good person to have in your corner.

There is not enough room on this review to point out all the ways Mariana Godwin exceeded my expectations! I am the father of a 6 year old girl, whose mother decided to cut me out of her life. For months, she did not allow me to have any communication, or visits with my daughter. Mariana proceeded through the custody process extremely efficiently. All the email, calls, and discussions were extremely productive and led to a very strong case in court. Mariana is caring, extremely responsive (a rare trait in attorneys, i find), smart, well connected, and delivers results. More importantly, she is also very good at setting realistic expectations and wading through her client's emotions to tease out the facts and usable information. She prepared me well for my court date, always explained each step of the process very clearly, and made sure I was aware of all possible outcomes at all times (which greatly reduces surprises in an already emotionally difficult time). In a scary and emotional time for me, Mariana provided guidance and results at lighting speed. The court awarded me more than I had hoped for, and I could not be any happier. Some people are just excellent at their jobs-Mariana is one of them. You cannot go wrong with hiring her as to represent you in your family matter. It literally changed my life, and my daughter's.

The idea of finding a good lawyer has always been associated with high hourly rates, confusing paper work and unexplained processes. I knew I had found gold when I meet the team at The Law Offices of Jeffrey G. Marsocci, PLLC. They’re a law firm that believes in doing what is right. Their staff is extremely well versed and educated on all areas of estate administration which allows every client to have the highest level of individual planning; planning that fits their personal and family needs. Planning that comes with ongoing and thorough client care. I had the pleasure of working with The Law Offices of Jeffrey G. Marsocci, PLLC almost a year ago. They hired my business, Loblolly Concierge to oversee some work on a foreclosure case they had that was in probate. The staff was efficient, timely and extremely professional. They are a law firm that fights for the rights of their clients, sometimes clients that are unable to fight for themselves. They’re meticulous at what they do and because of this have helped hundreds of people in need of honest and excellent estate planning. I would refer their practice to everyone that needed estate planning, estate administration, and Care Assistance Planning. They’re the best.

Ms. Brumback was the lead attorney on a team that defended a large national Architectural firm in a complicated claim brought by a very aggressive health care institution's legal team. At all times, Ms. Brumback patiently and competently led our firm through the process. Our firm had been very successful over the many years it had been in operation in avoiding such claims and, as a result, required much guidance from the legal team in assisting in our own defense.

Ms. Brumbach represented my firm on two separate occasions. The first as a member of a legal team who defended us against a former client. Rather than meet to discuss the concerns in person, this client was persuaded by an aggressive law firm to resolve the matter through the courts. Their incentive being the expectation of a large insurance settlement from a policy we carried at the time. The second was as our attorney in a suit to collect fees from a client who withheld final payment for work we performed. Rather than meet to discuss, this client ceased communication. In both instances she became familiar with the facts very quickly and developed a well conceived plan for both our defense and the merits of our claim. We would not hesitate to engage her if the need arose once again.

Let's face it, finding a lawyer for any reason can be very stressful. I'm here to say, Mary and her team exceeded my expectations of a law firm. Mary takes every case with a level of passion and dedication that makes you feel very comfortable with trusting her with your case. She reads and responds to every email, document, and question. She made me feel as though I was the only customer. LJ, by far, is the most diligent, calm, and industrious paralegal. I've worked directly with her for over a year and everyday she deposited something valuable into my case. She not only assisted Mary but she was an integral part to my own preparation. No matter how often I called or emailed, they provided quality customer service. This is a very family oriented law firm. They went from being complete strangers to lifelong friends. Being an out of state client, I knew nothing about NC laws nor was I organized with case details. They removed every obstacle, they created organized and detailed binders, and they knew my life story better than I did. I'm forever grateful for such a well verse and dedicated group of professionals that don't look at clients as just clients but as family members.

Mary was very direct and clear about her recommendations, but was also willing to do whatever I asked during a very complicated custody, equitable distribution and divorce process. She was supportive and has a great sense of humor. She has good relationships with her legal counterparts, which ultimately makes the most difference in and out of court. Wendy was also very responsive and helpful. Since this was a complex case, there were some things that did not turn out as expected, but Mary and Wendy were always upfront with me and walked through what the next steps would be. The only feedback for improvement would be occasionally administrative things were a little disorganized (for instance forgetting to correct errors in paperwork, disposing of the wrong document, having to do some things while I waited rather than having it ready), but there was nothing that impacted the case negatively. Overall, they took care of whatever needed to happen and made sure my best interests were covered.

Allison is very professional and great at her job. We would recommend her to anyone needing assistance on their immigration cases.

Glen was great to work with on our estate planning process. Glen was very thorough and asked all the right questions to have my husband and I think through how we wanted matters handled. Estate planning can be stressful but Glen took care of so many of the details that it was a very easy process for us. I highly recommend Glen to all of my friends and will continue to use his services as my needs change over time.

I highly recommend Glen as a Trust and Estate Planning attorney. In 2017, I needed to update my will and establish a trust. Glen listened to all of my needs, drafted the legal document that reflected my wishes, and explained every signature to me in great detail. I now recommend Glen to friends as a Trust attorney.

I give Aaron Hemmings an A+++. I am from Maryland and my daughter was a passenger in an automobile traveling on I-95 coming home from Myrtle Beach where she was involved in a multiple auto collision. She was hurt but recovered after a year. I attempted to deal with the insurance casualty adjuster who made an offer that was insulting. I did my research and found the law firm of Hemmings and Stevens. Aaron took over and negotiated an offer that was nearly double the original offer. He did not stop there. He went after the trauma hospital where my daughter was taken and CIGNA Health Insurance Company to reduce their fees. My daughter is now in college and the settlement will help her with the college debt she is accumulating. Thanks Aaron. I will never forget what you did for my daughter.

Mr Hemmings is a fabulous lawyer, straight forward, honest, confident, and works with a great sense of timeliness. He is an excellent communicator too. I found him by simply googling "insurance specializing" type lawyers and so that's how I found him. I "interviewed" several other similar lawyers found the same way and chose him in an instant after talking with him. If you have an issue that needs to be solved fast, professionally and with a very communicative style, I highly recommend him. I was very pleased and I had used several lawyers previous so I had some to compare him to also.

Attorney Allen was very helpful in overnight advice on a debt collection matter I was facing. She was upfront and did not try to sell me on services I did not need. Rather, she took a few minutes out of her day of helping actual clients to get me on the road to resolving my issue. Hopefully, I’ll never need her as representation in financial issues (bankruptcy) but I am glad to know she would be a great attorney to represent me.

Elliot worked tirelessly on a case for my family. Elliot organized disparate facts and thoughts into persuasive arguments and briefs with appropriate legal citations. When necessitated by pending deadlines, Elliot turned work out in short order, often returning documents late into the night. He was patient with my questions, open to input, and leveraged the resources of his firm as appropriate. Despite the long hours Elliot was investing in work products for our case, he took the time to keep me informed along the way. Through the efforts of Elliot and his firm, our matter was brought to a successful conclusion.

Elliot was part of a legal team which represented my sister in a recent Federal case. I was also indicted in the same case and frequently read Elliot's messages to my sister. It was obvious to me that Elliot was very dedicated to the case by the contents of his messages. I believe that he did most of the research and evidence gathering that eventually led to a dismissal for my sister. I would not hesitate to be represented by Elliot Abrams in any legal matter that may arise. He is dedicated, personable and very thorough.

I've had to good fortune to know Parker since she was recommended to me during my divorce some 20 years ago. Through the years, we've stayed in touch, and I have recommended her to numerous friends in need of help with divorce or adoption. Hands down, Parker is one of the best family practice attorneys in the region. As impressive as her command of the legal ins and outs of divorce, what I found - and still find - most impressive is her command of how to manage the emotional aspects of divorce (especially when children are involved as was the case with my case) with the negotiation strategies that's needed. Parker's advice was spot on about when, what and how I should advocate for myself, and her focus on the long term picture helped me navigate the short-term emotional mess when a marriage dissolves. When I felt indignant or angry over a counter-offer about some minor debt my "future former" and I shared, Parker wisely counseled, "Roger, in the long run this is pocket change. It's not worth the fight because there are more important issues for us to take a stand on." And she was right. Years later that advice to focus on what's really important in the long-run (that helped design a fair separation agreement that didn't engender long-term resentment) helped us work through a particularly thorny financial issue. And Parker was there right by my side again offering just the right guidance to help me come out of that negotiation (we were able to avoid court, thankfully) in a = good place. Moreover, Parker went out of her way to help keep my legal costs to a minimum. Parker's a great attorney, a great individual and I'm proud to say a great friend. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Shannon has been a life saver for me. She took my case when no one else would even talk to me. I was being harassed and bullied by a large company and no one wanted to fight for the “little guy” except Shannon. She was fantastic. The large company was attempting to retaliate against me and she quickly identified they had breached their own contract. Shannon took them on and pushed them back. Shannon was very responsive and has a keen attention to detail. She truly wants to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. I’m sincerely indebted.

Ms Williamson was quick to respond when i was in need of help. She was very intelligible and offered great advice. She eased my concerns when a company i previously worked for tried to argue with me to pay workers comp. with her knowledge of the law, i was reassured that even the small cant be pushed around. in turn i was question no further from the company. If your looking for someone who knows their job and how to do it well this is your attorney, i couldn't have been more pleased and my search for guidance was immediately over. If i have any legal matters she will definitely be my attorney i can say i truly trust she would be the best at the job.

Ms. Williamson was quick to respond to my calls (within a day), which is far faster than other attorneys I've hired in the past. Additionally, she was frank about realities in potential outcomes in the matter and only encouraged the courses of action that were likely to be resolved in a favorable way. She also charged very fairly, not drawing the process out and even advising against work that I could have paid her for but which she felt was unnecessary and might be a potential hardship for my family financially. Many in the law field are cavalier about taking a client's money without it always being the best path for the client, and Ms. Williamson did not do that. In short, she's ethical. And she's also tough and smart. I would encourage anyone with a legal need to call her. I believe her consultations are still free, and she will only take your case or matter up if she's a good person for the particular job.

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.
