Doug is an experienced divorce/family law attorney and counselor. He's extremely smart and very knowledgeable concerning divorce law. I was in an extremely messy divorce involving custody & child support. He was a good listener and sympathetic - yet tough when he needed to be. He didn't sugar coat a thing, and for that, I'm grateful. He made sure my children got everything they deserved. He's outstanding & I highly recommend.

This is the second time I’ve used Howard Bender’s legal services. Both times the result ended with a positive outcome. As before Howard’s performance was outstanding. From the first consultation I felt a sense of security knowing that, through Howard, a competent and logical legal approach was being applied to my situation. Further, he has great personal communication, I always felt in the know and at ease. I full-heartedly recommend his services.

We found Howard on the last day when we needed to file an answer and he did not have a problem with that even in such last minute. It turned out he found the party's lawsuit baseless and convinced them to dismiss without ever going to court. I wish more attorneys think like Howard as he is very good in details and understanding of Biz agreements. I will use him again if ever needs arise. I am very thank full we found him as he did the right approach to the case. Keep it up Thanks again.

I have retained Howard for many transactions including lease negotiations, sale of a business and customer bankruptcy advice. Every time I worked with him he was right on the money with his due diligence, sound go-forward advise, expert research and drafting skills. Each transaction has ended with the result I was seeking. I would highly endorse Howard for his calm and cool demeanor and shark mentality, always resulting in a positive end game

Amy helped me and my ex-wife divorce by mediating. After we failed at trying to divorce with lawyers in court, we took a pause. Court was ridden with conflict and tremendous fees so we went to her. She was able to help us understand the process and accomplish what we needed. If we had gone to her first, we would not have wasted almost $50,000 in fighting in court with lawyers that only wanted to cause more disputes. Thank you!

Mrs. Slotnick was referred to me by a friend whose divorce she mediated. She came highly recommended from someone that I consider to be very meticulous. She helped me with a small business issue. She was my second lawyer after firing the first one for not knowing the facts of my case. Needless to say that Amy was awesome, saved me a ton of money by avoiding a court battle and she out negotiated the pants off of the other lawyer. I cannot recommend her high enough. She just gets it.

When faced with a family crisis, I consulted Donna Drumm, because she is compassionate, understanding, and without hesitation, went that extra mile for my family and I, which in this day and age, means a lot. knowlegable, sweet, and so understanding of my family situation with a solid foundation in the law, really put my mind at ease. I can't thank her enough. All lawyers should take example from her, because besides the law, she's a human first, and puts others before herself.

Steven is one of the few attorneys in the whole entire Universe that will give Pro Bono Legal Advice. My partner and I faced so many issues with the Land Lord Tenants through the years and Steve was the only attorney that heard us out and also told us how to proceed without asking for anything or hitting us with an invoice as we know that is what attorneys are known for. I am grateful to have met Steven and looking forward to working with him now and in the future.

Steven Weisblum is the most capable attorney that I have had the pleasure of dealing with in years. I had other attorney's tell me that my case could not be won and it was an uphill battle to say the least. Then, along came Weisblum, he is brilliant, charismatic and most knowledgeable about landlord tenant law. He outlined exactly what he planned to do to win my case and he followed through. To say I was very pleased to have him on my side is an understatement. Thank you Steve, a job very well done.

Robin is an outstandingly knowledgable and thorough leasing attorney, assisting in the review of a somewhat complicated tri-party lease assignment.

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.
