Working with Joe Neal was my first time ever working with a lawyer regarding an accident. I didn’t know what to expect or how to go about the process. I needed someone I could trust and make things super easy for me as I experienced a tough time. He is very kind and knowledgeable. He doesn’t under or over communicate. He communicates as he receives updates or other information I needed to know. He was also very patient and thorough throughout the entire process. The amount of stress I experienced prior to meeting him was lessened by the trust that was formed. I valued his advice and support throughout my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for resolution after an accident. Prayerfully, I never have to work with him again under those circumstances. But, I’d choose him again if ever needed. Thank you again Joe! For everything.

“Life is short. Get a divorce.” So says the billboard for this firm off the highway. This seems an unwise perspective to take on a procedure that tears so many lives apart. I have seen the disclaimer that they give, claiming that they do not advocate for divorce, but the firm has not denied ownership of the billboard to my knowledge, and thus the claim is simply untrue.

Her willingness to help in any way she can truly sets her apart. Attorney Anderson is a vital part of our community and deserves recognition for her numerous achievements. She handles every case—whether personal or professional—with the utmost care and has consistently proven herself to be trustworthy.

I called Seretta for my daughter before paying the retainer. I wanted to know if she was familiar with dealing with a Narcisisst. She assured she was well aware of the personality defect. My daughter needed modifications to the original Court Order due to many many violations of the Oder by the Defendant. Absolutely nothing was done but another Court Order stating everything in the original order must be abided by, which was basically no change. We were charged a healthy retainer and after the Court Order, got another bill for more charges. I would have reported her to the bar for charging so much for doing little to nothing, but she has not enforced the additional bill. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I had allot of faith in her. I believe if you know anything about a Narcisisst, there is absolutely nothing that comes out if their mouths that is the truth, they are the world's best at manipulation and they will falsly build themselves up to make the other person look bad. It appears he did a goid job if thus yo his attorney and that attorney carried the Narcisisst traits over to Syretta.

After a false allegation was made against my family, we hired Nathan to stand up for us and take on an incompetent state agency. Nathan surgically and methodically exposed their weak case, incompetence, and bias leading to a swift and decisive dismissal in our favor. If you are facing a government agency and need help, hire Nathan.

I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone. All the glowing reviews seem contrived. This man was rude, spoke down to my family, sloppy looking and totally unprofessional abd sloppy looking. His no nonsense appriach can be construed as brash. Not to be redundant but U can't stress this enough. In addition is fee was astronomical for an obviously simple case. He could not wait to usher me out of his office with the attitude that I was supposed to be impressed with his large irrepressible ego. I highly recommend that you find a respectful induvidual because every person deserves this at the very least.

Pam was very professional in assisting me with my entire divorce process. She explained the steps, explained what to expect, and what to do in the worst case scenario if my divorce filed on adultery did not get the judge's acceptance. She said it will be a flat rate, and was true to her word. I highly recommend her. She is prompt in replying to her email as well as getting back through phone. I am so glad I hired Pam to go through this otherwise painful process.

I was charged with a DUI. Normally, I would have just used any attorney but unfortunately due to my employment any type of blemish on my driving record would have meant immediate termination. I did my research and consulted with three attorneys in the area that specialized in this area of law. I really did not want just any lawyer representing me. I did find that many lawyers were willing to take the case but really did not do a lot of DUI cases. I was quite apprehensive about being in a situation with an attorney who normally does not do a lot of DUI work. After consulting with Steve I found him to be candid and straightforward. He early on told me the positive points and negative points in my case. A close friend of mine had referred me to his office. I decided to retain him upon consultation. Steve and his office staff definitely went to "bat" for me and my case. In the end, I attained a dismissal due to various circumstances surrounding my case. I have never been in a situation like this before in my whole life. I felt much more confident knowing I had Steve and his office by my side. While I do not intend to have any more problems in the future I would always be a client if the need arises. When it is important and a lot is at stake, I would highly recommend anyone to use him as their lawyer.

I am writing this review as a warning to others so they will not have to go through what I went through with Jim Tucker and his firm. Divorce is already hard enough and drawn out, if you hire Mr. Tucker it will only bring you more stress and a guarantee that it will be drawn out for far longer then it needs to be. I hired Jim in July of 2016. He took on my case and assured me it would be an "easy case". After he took my money I didn't hear back from Jim for over 3 months. After countless emails and phone calls I reported the money spent to my credit card agency to try and get a refund. After getting this notification he apologized and seem interested in taking on my case again with a significant discount. Finally over a year later we still haven't even made it to mediation. Separation paperwork wasn't filed till end of October and my spouse didn't get served until January of 2016. I still to date have never seen my spouses response to the separation claim. 6 MONTHS after it was filed with the courts!!! It was like pulling teeth to get a response. The guy didn't seem to have a care in the world about my urgency and it seemed my case was the least important to him. I had to fire him and hire another attorney because it got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore. He was never prepared for meetings. Lost emails and paper work I had sent in countless times. Would NEVER respond to my emails or phone calls in a timely manor. Literally months would go by and I would maybe get an email from his paralegal that didn't even address all the questions I had. The divorce has gotten no where and it has been a year and a half sense I moved out and began living separately. Do yourself a favor and hire another Attorney. Lindsey Dasher is great and it has been night and day working with her compared to Jim Tucker.

Mr. Tucker and his associate where outstanding with the help they gave me securing my granddaughter and bringing her back home. I live in NC and my granddaughter was taken to SC by her mother at a supervised visitation. Mr. Tucker was very knowledgeable on the state to state laws and within a day we where able to find my granddaughter and bring her back home. The care they put into this was unbelievable. They made me truly feel that they cared as if this was their own family member. Going through a circumstance like this is no fun but Mr. Tucker took a lot of the worry away. Highly recommend him and the law firm.

I paid the $250 consultation fee and met with Mr. Black and had a good conversation. During our conversation he gave very clear expectations on what he would do to move things forward. I never heard back; I've reached out multiple times, but his office will not respond. I understand that he has no obligation to take my case...that's completely understood, but why not just indicate that? It's a horrible business practice to "ghost" potential clients who just invested their time and $250 into a 30-minute consultation.

First meeting for divorce she made me wait 30 minutes then fell asleep several times during consultation that I paid 350 for. She admitted it was due to personal issue with son’s school. No respect for me or my situation. I was left by my husband of 32 years and her response was to tighten the belt. I would love to see her tighten her belt. I switched lawyers after having to borrow more money. She lives up to all the bad adages about lawyers.

This lawyer went above and beyond to help me. I was charged with breach of trust and was guilty as charged. Mr. Sample worked out a deal to clear my record. I would never be able to get another job if not for his help. I see some bad reviews here, but I find it hard to believe they are real. I guess anybody can post a bunch of vindictive BS here with no consequences. Maybe the posts are from people that were on the other side of Mr. Sample and lost their cases.

Worst attorney I've ever been around in my entire life. Totally unprofessional - his office is an absolute mess, unprofessional in every way. Literally papers and folders scattered all over the floor that it's not a wonder that he could never remember any of our case details when we would speak with him. I felt like he couldn't care any less about us. He returns phone calls with emails and letters (who mails letters these days for important, time sensitive information? - LOL). No one ever answers the office phone during business hours. Most importantly, he gave us completely false and inaccurate advice that cost us thousands and thousands of dollars. This is a file, pay and move on type of bankruptcy attorney. These guys are fine if you don't have anything special going on. But if you need ANY other type of assistance other than run-of-the-mill chapter 7/13 filing, before, during, or after your case, then do NOT use this attorney. He seemed completely disinterested as soon as he was paid - my opinion. Seriously, if any of the above sounds like something you want to trust your financial future with, then perhaps Mr. Matthews is your guy. Otherwise steer very, very clear. In summary, he fit every imaginable terrible stereotype of every bankruptcy attorney, ever.

Very unprofessional. She called me back after receiving my voice message, although I left detailed information who I was and why I called in my message also she responded to my profile on LegalMatch as I was looking for an attorney, she was extremely rude, hung up on me after shouting questions at me, when I said my kids are not minors and not disabled she rudely hung up on me. I texted her back calling her unprofessional and she responded with "F... off!..."

She was hired without reference for a basic will. Her communication was terse and sparse. She was even unfriendly- to paying clients. Her emails barely had a signature, more like texting. No bedside manner whatsoever, no timeline, even nasty about a typo. Do not use her.

    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.

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.
