I reached out to Mr. Gregory regarding a debt that was owed to me from several years ago that I was never able to collect- until now! In our interactions I found Peter to be knowledgeable and decisive, and he always responded in a timely manner. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a lawyer, I would absolutely use him again in the future.

Peter and the staff in his office helped us with a motor vehicle accident claim. He was always available when needed for questions. He was thorough and on top of everything throughout the process. There was 3 of us involved in the accident and when it was time to file the suit, he coordinated 2 other attorneys from outside his office so we were all represented without conflict of interest. This is a long process but Peter kept us informed throughout the entire process. While it does not help to get rid of the injuries and the pain endured on a daily basis we were able to reach an agreement for settlement with the insurance company. Thank you Peter and Staff for all of your help.

In late 2017 I filed chapter 13 bankruptcy. Ms. Nobile was awesome, because I followed all her instructions to the letter. Because I did it saved me time, additional fees and a possible court postponement. I witnessed another person in my first hearing with the same situation I had, their lawyer did not informed them correctly subsequently causing the person to face a postponement and extra fees - I am soooo thankful I listened to Ms. Nobile. She knew exactly what she was doing. Now mind you I challenged her on some things but shut my mouth and did as I was told and the proceeding went without a hitch.

Ms. Nobile was a very knowledgeable attorney with AWESOME advise. No nonsense, honest and direct...she is a great attorney to have on your side. Always on time, returned phone calls, answered questions and gave me more than I ever expected. She won our case and never lost her cool or raised her voice...(the other lawyer did). She earned her fee and then some. Thank you Michelle, all your work is GREATLY appreciated.

There is nothing more reassuring than having a good lawyer on your side! Larry Schwind represented me in my divorce, he guided me through a tumultuous buy-out of my home from my ex-husband, & he prepared my Will, Power of Attorney & Health Care Proxy. He is fair and provides expert legal guidance in a calm, matter-of-fact manner, and he knows the law. He is extremely accessible, and answers phone calls and emails personally in timely manner; and he works with a great paralegal, Tammy Baker. You are in good hands with this team!

David Wade is an excellent attorney. He is in contact with you as much as you want/need. Mr. Wade walked me through every step of the process making it easier to get through it and understand what was happening. He is punctual and at the end of the day, he saved my life. Had I went with a public attorney for my DWI case I more than likely would have lost all hope for my future career plans. If you do make a bad choice, fix it by making the right one. That choice is to hire Mr. David Wade!

He gave us many suggestions of how to protect our estate. When it came time for my mother to update her will, she also hired Nicholas. He was kind enough to meet us at my mother's home. She is elderly and it is not easy for her drive into downtown Rochester. He reviewed her prior will and had many suggestions for her situation. We were very pleased with his professionalism and knowledge. He was able to answer every question we had. He even pointed out important details that we would have simply skipped by.

I first consulted with David in year 2017 when I was going through a very difficult time in my life, I felt very comfortable with him and the firm he represents (Underberg and Kessler) and immediately hired them to represent me. (was recommended to them through a local attorney) Without going into specifics... David was extremely helpful and knowledgeable through the entire process which ended up being a 2 year ordeal for me. I can honestly say there was never a time that I lost confidence in my representation and in the end the results were more positive than I could ever imagine and I know that this was 100% an outcome of David's hard work and determination.

I was charged with a felony DWI in February 2015 as well as refusal. I hired the the firm Mr. McCarty works for (Fiandach) and he has appeared on my behalf in court as well as at my refusal hearing, which he won. I am absolutely amazed at the work Mr. McCarty has done for my case, not only successfully defending me against my refusal, but always prompt with returning phone calls, and also extremely informative.

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.
