I went to Mr. Sawyer for two different cases. He stayed in contact and updated me on everything that was going on with both cases. Both cases were resolved in the best way possible and I really appreciate everything that he did for me. If I ever need a lawyer for anything else, I will definitely give him a call.

I had the opportunity to work with H.K. Sawyer, a specialist in debt collection law, and I have been extremely satisfied with his services. Mr. Sawyer demonstrated exceptional expertise in navigating the complexities of debt collection, providing clear and effective strategies that yielded positive results. From our initial meeting, Mr. Sawyer was thorough, professional, and attentive to every detail of my case. He clearly explained the legal processes involved and set realistic expectations, which was incredibly reassuring. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Sawyer maintained excellent communication, keeping me updated on progress and promptly addressing any concerns or questions I had. Mr. Sawyer's persistence and skill in negotiating with debtors and handling court proceedings were evident in the successful recovery of multiple outstanding debts owed to me. His commitment to achieving the best possible outcome was unwavering, and his approach was both ethical and efficient. I highly recommend H.K. Sawyer for anyone needing assistance with debt collection. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to his clients make him an outstanding choice for handling even the most challenging debt recovery cases.

Mr Sawyer was the perfect person for the situation I was was facing two citations, the second one being a misdemeanor. I am not familiar enough to represent myself in this matter. Even though at times, I was clueless about the process of the proceedings. Mr. Sawyer handled everything with flying colors and was able to get the misdemeanor dismissed and paid the fine on the first citation. He walked me through what was going on and even answered emails in a reasonable time. I thank you very much for helping, save my livelihood. Your friend, a truck driver.

When I was faced with the impossibility of prevailing in a head to head battle with a seasoned DA. With absolutely no legal knowledge, support, or experience facing the nightmare of unethical conduct and retaliation for not tucking tail against misconduct and collusion by my own attorneys. I felt my words were being ignored or misinterpreted in the numerous pro se motions i drafted as I learned the legalities and procedures. This man did what no other judge or attorney had the backbone to do, he believed in me. I filed til my time ran out all while being in exile from the injustice that had been inflicted by unethical men and their weaponization of the law against a poor defenseless but determined individual. When one attorney answered a grievance i filed this year he informed the state bar an order existed in which compassion and clemency was granted 2years prior and my sentence and probation had been terminated. Justice did ultimately prevail for an injustice that cost me nearly a decade of my life and did a number on my health all bc of a dirty DA that was caught red handed concealing proof of my innocence but he would never admit it like a man. Thank you RVP you are a truly noble and honorable man the justice system needs men like you and the discernment you possess to bring judgement and most of all compassion to this evil and corrupted world. Youve changed my life forever and for that i am truly grateful and humbled. SRoach

WORST DEAL...He's ok to hang out with (1 star) but I contracted Ken (McCracken) Poston 8/17/22 and today, 4/16/2024 means it has been 1 year and 8 months. Bogus CPD charges are easy to refute by video and contradictions, unless you slap a lawsuit on them. Ken NEVER would file my requested motions and after demanding for progress he would NOT even file subpoenas after the Judge indicated it was time. He moved a hearing over 3 months against my will! He thinks his strategy is the best, but I feel it's about his pet project book. I asked for 50% because he fails Model Rules of Professional Conduct in my opinion, but he is fighting me so it will get interesting. I feel free with other advisors but feel free to use him if he is a good fit for you. SEE CHATTANOOGA POLICE ASSULT EVIDENCE@ E-VAN.ORG Rev. Timothy Meyer

I was in a very bad legal situation that I got caught up in. I didn't think I was going to make it without jail time. My ex wife was trying to ruin my life and prevent me from seeing my kid, but Ken Poston did into let that happen. He was there for me the whole time. There where a couple of court dates that had to be rescheduled, this is because he was wearing down the prosecution. I made it out totally unscathed with his representation. And I still get to see my son. Mr. Poston is the only attorney that I have ever met that will not just give you lip service. He really does care about his clients and will be there for you every step of the way. Hire this guy if you do not trust most attorneys.

His name was originally pulled out of the phone listings for a small issue. After looking over my sons divorce papers, he told me I (POA) needed to hire a good attorney. When the time came, I hired him at the price he quoted. He failed to mention further costs if more was to be done on the case, which I declined due to financial issues. At his recommendation my son followed to the letter what Mr. Mills said to do. In ONE (1) years time, I have received ONE letter of communication, and it was incomplete!! Mr. Mills has not stayed in contact concerning my sons case. I will call and leave a v/m only to have no response... ever! I've had to send and resend my POA at lease twice, Why??? I don't see how he's gotten so many great reviews! This is insane. No excuse for an Attorney to never return calls. I had to give at least one star, but in my opinion, he doesn't deserve that! No excuse AT ALL for this type of so called professional behavior... no matter who the client. If he's taken my money, he should do the job and stay in touch!

Hired Mr.Mills to help me with my custody case still in process. So far I have no complaints about the communication level I have received of this attorney and his paralegals Logan they are very polite and kind. If you're looking for a lawyer for a better communication and understanding this is your guy Mr Mills. So far I believe that Mr Mills and Logan will do their best to fight for your outcome to be favorable as much as possible.

Wrote up a will while my dad was terminally ill with heart failure and stage four lung cancer and stage 2 rectal cancer. He was on multiple pain meds: will was signed while he was on pain meds. Both witnesses were related to the other witness. He represents a woman who uses men for money and pulls the cord and plans a funeral before her boyfriend is even dead. That’s who he represents. He presented them the will while he was spending his last 3 weeks in the hospital. I even have the drs notes of all the meds he was on at the time of signing and if he really could have been clear minded while he had just been given them every 3 hours. Answer was no.

I found David to be pleasant to work with. He is honest with his clients. Settlements do not come over night and it takes time to work through the system, all of which are beyond the attorneys control. If you aren’t willing to listen to the attorney, and are in a rush to get a settlement then you need to call J.C. Wentworth. If you will be patient, you will get a good and fair settlement.

If you get your feelings hurt easily, if you expect immediante replies, and if you expect to see him at your appointed time then Renzo is not the lawyer for you, BUT if you want someone who is direct and honest, someone who will give you their undivided attention when you are in their office-even if it makes others have to wait, someone who will dilgently and thoroughly search out your unique circumstances to make sure every angle is covered, then I would highly recommend Renzo Wiggins. He has a refined way of balancing compassionate with tough "love". He may not always tell you what you want to hear, but you can count on him to tell you what you need. He stepped on my toes a time or two and I stepped on his, but in the end I believe we have a mutual business respect for each other. He is not an easy person to make contact with, but when you do it is worth the effort when he handles your case.

After we paid Shawn Bible, his interest in our case was drastically reduced. At first. Before payday. He was all about everything he was going to do to help us. After the cash was paid. He lost interest. I just don't believe he had the knowledge in family court he made out to have. The other attorney had nothing. Yet he still mopped the floor with Bible. It was pathetic really. He simply didn't do his homework. Not like the other attorney did anyways. This is why hands down. As of now. One star. I'd give zero if I could. Being in a small town corrupt court doesn't help matters any either. Maybe you should learn to play golf with the judges like all the other local attorney's so as to gain equal favor.

Originally, I retained Mr. Bible because my grandson had been taken into custody by DFACS. Mr. Bible had my grandson placed with me quickly. I now have legal custody of this awesome little guy. I ran into a legal charge I wasn’t guilty of and Mr. Bible saw me through it without a spot on my record and I never even had to miss work because of it. All I had to do is provide him with the evidence he needed from me. He handled my divorce. I hear horror stories about divorces. It only took about 15 minutes of my time and was a done deal. Mr. Bible, I truly believe, will not take someone/a case, unless he believes in them/it. But if he will take your case, you can know that you’re in good hands and trust he will protect your best interests. The one time through it all that I had to take the stand, he made sure that I knew what to expect and how to handle the situation and I was not intimidated at all by the other attorney nor the judge when the time came. And to top it all, Mr. Bible did not break my bank. I’m not wealthy and he charged me very little for his services compared to the enormous amount of positive changes his representation had on my life. I am very blessed that he chose to represent me and I will want him to handle any and every legal need I ever have in the future, as well as any legal needs of my family.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We were out of state visitors in 2009 to the area when my husband was charged with DUI and child endangerment. We had been in an argument while parked at a gas station. Our daughter was asleep in the backseat. Police officers who happened to be nearby came to make sure everything was OK and they wanted my husband to take a breathalyzer test which he refused. He was arrested and charged and I bailed him out the next morning. We went back to our home state and I consulted with several attorneys over the phone before choosing Mike Giglio. He seemed very professional and knowledgeable. When the court date approached we flew to the area and showed up at the courthouse only to see a sign on the door that the courthouse was closed and all cases for the day had been postponed until further notice due to weather. Mr. Giglio failed to let us know anything at all, and when I finally did reach him, he was very nonchalant about the whole thing and did not care that we had flown all the way from Washington for nothing. The appearance was rescheduled for a couple of months later, and we flew back once again. The judge reviewed footage from body cams and gas station cameras, he heard my testimony, and he heard my husband’s testimony. The judge acknowledged that my husband had not been pulled over for DUI and that we were parked in a parking lot and that the officers had not witnessed my husband driving, and he also acknowledged that there was no chemical proof of intoxication since my husband refused the test. He decided to dismiss the DUI charge because my husband did pass the physical field sobriety tests given and because there was no chemical proof of intoxication, but he said that he was going to keep the charge of child endangerment because we had been arguing in the car in her presence even though she never woke up at all during the argument. We had no idea that in Georgia a child endangerment charge is an automatic DUI charge, so when a person is charged with DUI and child endangerment, in reality there are TWO charges for DUI because the child endangerment charge has an automatic DUI charge with it. So the original DUI was dropped by the judge but the child endangerment charge stuck. Mr. Giglio told us that we were good to go, and we were very thankful to him for his work. He never told us that we were not free and clear of any DUI charges. My husband still had physical possession of his license, but two and a half years later when he went to renew his license, he found out that his license had been suspended for all that time because of a child endangerment DUI charge. I called Mr. Giglio to find out why everything wasn’t cleared, and when he finally answered my call after multiple attempts, he nonchalantly told me about the child endangerment conviction having an automatic DUI attached to it. It didn’t make any sense to me that the judge threw out the original DUI and kept the child endangerment charge simply because we were arguing. Since he didn’t see enough evidence of intoxication to convict my husband of the original DUI, then why did he keep the child endangerment charge knowing that it had a DUI attached to it? Mr. Giglio should have advised us of this fact and should have appealed it or pushed to have the child endangerment downgraded to reckless driving. At the very least he should have told us because my husband was driving around on a suspended license for two and a half years. This guy was so flippant and blasé about the whole thing, and he had the audacity to try to make me feel stupid for not knowing this stuff, when that is what we hired him to do!

I would not recommend this lawyer. Run in the other direction! He was more focused on being friends with the other lawyer apposing my case. He didn't keep up with my case. He made a bunch of promise and held up none of them. He didn't return emails and basically just wanted the money. This is the worst experience with a lawyer I have ever had.

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.
