My experience with Spencer Malone at McConville Considine Cooman & Morin has been nothing short of excellent thus far - he is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, down to earth and ready to help with any legal issues that arise. I would recommend Spencer and the firm to anyone I know seeking legal assistance!

11 Jun, 2024 by Adam stephens

Spencer Malone has helped me with providing consultation and sound advice through some very challenging situations. I very much appreciate his professionalism and legal expertise. You can certainly trust Spencer with your Trust, POA's, Estate and Legal matters.

10 Jun, 2024 by Lisa wasson

I am lucky to have met Spencer Malone through my BNI group and he has been a wealth of knowledge around estate planning. Both my husband and I own businesses and I had know idea on what was entailed for estate planning with both our businesses and personal end. I would recommend seeking out Spencer for any future estate planning whether it be a POA or anything more in depth.

Had a terrible experience with a different Lawyer and Larry came in and handle business like a total professional. Don't think I would have had a better out come if Larry didn't take over

14 Oct, 2023 by Anonymous

As I reflect on my life and all the trial and tribulations that my family and I endured, there has been one constant staple and that is Mr. Lawrence Baker. Larry cared for our family as if we were part of his. Both my husband and I went through divorces prior to be married to one another. Our family faced many losses of loved ones and had to deal with the unfortunate battles within surrogate court. When I went out on a limb to stand up to my employer thru the Human Rights Division, Larry came out on that limb with me. Through it all, Larry never waivered, he remained diligent as our counsel and remained loyal as a friend. In the 22+ years that our family and Mr. Baker have teamed together to secure our family's future, I can firmly state there is no one better to go into battle with than Mr. Baker. Integrity, pure honesty, diginity, loyal, compassionate, etc. The Griffin family is honored that Mr. Baker welcomed us as clients.

02 Dec, 2022 by Chelsea

Larry was exactly the person I needed to help navigate me through my divorce, he looked out for me in ways I never expected him to and I’m so grateful for everything he’s done for me.

I want to take the time to thank Brian Decarolis for representing me for my permit he took his time with me made sure I understood the process my hearing would take an all possibilities he is a very honest attorney I would recommend him to anyone in need of his services thanks again Brian

21 Apr, 2023 by Darren shelton

Brian brings a sense of peace and a wealth of knowledge. His confidence and attention to detail are 2nd to none. I highly recommend him!

21 Apr, 2023 by Keisha trubia

He is very on top of things and knows what he is talking about! What I liked most is that he himself reached out to me to discuss everything instead of having an assistant call me like several other attorneys did. Straight to the point with everything and I was pleased with how my case was handled/settled. Very highly recommended!

Mr. Brevda cares and concerns make you feel he is not only there to help protect rights but that he is part of your family. There is no other I would trust again for any of my family members but David Brevda and his team.

Mr. VanLoon was an absolute godsend and rescued me from the nightmare custody battle I had from out of state. Anyone in the Rochester area needs to reach out to his law firm and trust that he will take your case seriously and work towards what you need!

05 Sep, 2024 by Jerry

I cannot explain how pleased I am with the services of Mr. Van Loon. I hired Mr. Van Loon in my custody case and I knew right after the consultation that he was the right person for the job. He made me feel at ease and he did everything that he said and more. I would recommend Mr. Van Loon 10 out of 10 times to anyone in need of a custody lawyer.

15 Jul, 2024 by Austin

During what was undoubtedly the most unsettling and difficult time in my life, Nathan did a phenomenal job representing me as a father, and ultimately winning my case for primary-custody of my child. Nathan is very well-read and articulate, which was apparent whenever he had the opportunity to speak on my behalf or during cross-examinations. I perceived his calculated demeanor to be completely appropriate for my situation, which required some delicate handling. Should I need representation again somewhere down the line, Nathan Van Loon will be my first call. If you are a parent fighting for the best outcome for your children, I would highly recommend giving Nathan Van Loon a call.

Lisa and her team were incredibly helpful and understanding through one of the most difficult times of my life. From the very first phone call I knew I could count on her. Over a two year period Lisa continued to listen and help me work through the legalities of my divorce. In my opinion, it felt more than an attorney, I could sense she genuinely cared about my case and helped me through every step until we finally finished.

08 Jul, 2024 by John

Lisa was so professional and helpful with my case. She was available whenever I had a question and thoroughly explained ever step of the process.

27 Jun, 2024 by Jessica

Lisa represented me in a criminal manner. She successfully got my felony charge reduced. Lisa expedited my matter and communicated with me throughout the entire process from start to finish. I hope to not need Lisa again, but I would not hesitate to use her, if I should need legal representation again!

There was zero confusion as to what I needed to do. Jennifer and Anne both provided all the information that was required and was patient with me every step of the way

28 Jul, 2024 by Mel

Jennifer was recommended to me by the mediation lawyer I'd worked with previously. I found Jennifer to be extremely clear in her responses, quick to respond to messages, and helpful in laying out all the alternatives with pros and cons of each. I have worked with her twice now and would definitely do so again if the need arose.

17 Jun, 2024 by Anonymous

Jennifer was outstanding! She was very helpful and prompt in thoroughly responding to questions and concerns. My experience was excellent, and I would recommend her services. Although divorces can be costly, I never felt that she was after my money, and I believe we reached a resolution at a reasonable cost to me.

The staff here are extremely professional and friendly and I had an amazing experience working with them. Mr. King was very transparent throughout the case and was not afraid to give me his honest opinion. Overall I felt very reassured having him and his team working on my case. I would definitely recommend King law if anyone needed legal advice.

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:

Verify Their License:
Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
Experience and Specialization:
Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
Disciplinary Record:
Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
Client Reviews and Testimonials:
Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
Professional Memberships:
Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
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:

Relevant Documents:
Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
Written Summary:
Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
List of Questions:
Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
Financial Information:
If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
Contact Information:
Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
Personal Identification:
Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
Pen and Notebook:
Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
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.
