What disturbs me as that this Ida attorney doesn’t return phone calls. In a years time I talked to her twice and called 3 times and also sent emails and don’t get responses. I think I’m gonna switch firms cause they take part of your money and she definitely hasn’t earned it. Very disappointed

Do not retain for Social Security is my recommendation. I don’t believe this is the highly recommended office that it once was, that my friend recommended. I had a denial of continuation of benefits and am appealing. This place has caused one big nightmare for me. What should have been getting payments, until a decision is made, then waiting, has been a catastrophe. I went 2 months without proper pay, now my Medicare is cut off. I have reached out to my Congresswomen. When the case worker tells you that they don’t have anything to do with you not getting paid? That’s a serious situation folks, when the first step is to continue benefits. Stressed beyond belief.

For the 10th time I called LEGAL AID seeking legal assistance as a senior citizen since 2014. Never do they service, whatever, my issue is. This time I was referred to JUST CAUSE, who talked over me, and abruptly hung up in my hear when I said I'd just been on hold 40 minutes to ask and receive the same answer from Legal Aid; "DO you provide assistance applying for Social Security Disability?". No. They help you appeal. If you apply correctly 1st time, it would reduce the need for appeal. Legal Aid and Just Cause are REDUNDANT in their services, wasting my tax dollar. The issues I have at 60, 70, 80 are different than at 20, 30, 40. Where is the courtesy, respect and assistance we seniors deserve. Rude, rude and rude!

I gave this attorney my personal injury case, and because she was running for public office, she and her assistant ignored my case. I ended up going pro se, and settling the case myself, with the company's chief legal officer.

For the 10th time I called LEGAL AID seeking legal assistance as a senior citizen since 2014. Never do they service, whatever, my issue is. This time I was referred to JUST CAUSE, who talked over me, and abruptly hung up in my hear when I said I'd just been on hold 40 minutes to ask and receive the same answer from Legal Aid; "DO you provide assistance applying for Social Security Disability?". No. They help you appeal. If you apply correctly 1st time, it would reduce the need for appeal. Legal Aid and Just Cause are REDUNDANT in their services, wasting my tax dollar. The issues I have at 60, 70, 80 are different than at 20, 30, 40. Where is the courtesy, respect and assistance we seniors deserve. Rude, rude and rude!

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.

      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:
