Mr. Stokes is an exceptionally brilliant attorney who will zealously advocate on your behalf. In any interaction I've had with Mr. Stokes, he comes across as extremely intelligent and knowledgeable about the legal questions one has. With over 25 years of trial experience, there aren't many lawyers in the Bay Area who can match his expertise. I would highly recommend him for any legal needs.

I was involved in a car accident that left me in a wheelchair, unable to work and worried how I was going to deal with everything that was happening. A friend recommended Mrs. Kravitz and said she would handle my case and help me figure out the myriad of worries I had. I met Jovita and was immediately impressed with her professionalism. Equally important to me I was simply impressed with her as a person. I suppose any attorney is capable of doing the legal side; I was worried about being treated as another number by an attorney. With Jovita that was nor ever has been the case. She was empathetic as well as knowledgeable which personally was important to me. My case settled in what I felt was a timely fashion all things considered. Additionally, I was happy with the settlement Jovita was able to obtain for me. Further, even though I'm no longer her client she took the time to follow up and ask how I was doing after recovering from my injuries. That gesture was greatly appreciated. I hope I never again need the services of an attorney but if I do I would hire Jovita again without hesitation.

Jovita Kravitz handled our case with personal care and attention. When my husband was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle, not only did we have to deal with and worry about his recovery and the intensity of his injuries but to top it all off the driver of the car was irate, unreasonable and just downright rude. Jovita was professional, prompt and courteous. But beyond that she was sensitive to the emotional turmoil my husband and I were both in and handle her case with care as well as speed. We highly recommend Jovita and have since referred her to numerous friends and family members who ever all had excellent experiences using her legal services.

I retained the services of the Kravitz Law Firm as the Personal Representative for a family member. From the first visit with Jovita, I was impressed with the amount of time she spent with us, knowledge of the numerous legal issues at hand, and the level of compassion she showed to and for our loved one. At a time in which we were dealing with great sadness, grief, numerous medical situations, and of course raw emotions, Jovita was patient, walked us through the process every step of the way, and answered our numerous questions and concerns. Jovita and the Kravitz Law Firm communicated with us in a timely manner and provided a level of personal care and legal background that was much appreciated. Our case was well represented with powerful expert witness testimony and effective research. Jovita was extremely knowledgeable in the many facets of our case and defended our loved one in truth. She was determined in defending our case and her defense of our loved one commanded attention due to her effective delivery. Justice prevailed for our loved one and I am grateful to Jovita and the Kravitz Law Firm for their patience, diligent work, and their personal support of our case.

From the moment I walked into Jon Coats office and had my first consultation I knew I was in the right place. When you meet Jon it's like you've known him forever. I've referred friends and family since and we all agree. I was referred to Jon through a friend for my Forclosure which is a horrible thing to go through but Jon made it practically effortless on my part. He handles everything while answering all my questions and explaining the situation so clearly and patiently leaving no room for confusion never making our time feel rushed or "on the clock". I can't say enough good things about Jon coats. I will be calling and trusting him with any legal needs in the future absolutely.

I was on the verge of foreclosure when I contacted Jon. He had come highly recommended by my realtor. Jon reviewed my mortgage and the documents from the lean holder and recommended doing a short sale. He handled all communications and negotiations with the bank, keeping me informed at every stage. His professional knowledge and excellent advise lead to a successful closure. I again obtained Jon's service when I required advise on another matter. Again, his consultation was spot on. I highly recommend Jon and would use him again if the occasion should arise.

A rental agent had misrepresented the apartment and it was a disaster. I needed to immediately get out of the lease contract and management charged me an unfair termination fee. This attorney reviewed my lease agreement and drafted legal documents arguing my position. She was able to negotiate with the rental community, getting me out of the contract with no termination fees and a refund of my security deposit. She was professional and wasted no time in handling the matter appropriately and effectively. I highly recommend her.

Ms. Adriana M Dinis is not only knowledgeable and dedicated but, patient and supporting. My experience as her client was above all possible standards. She proved her professionalism and work ethic by providing results many other lawyers were incapable of. Before meeting Ms. Dinis I had sought legal representation many times and paid too much on consultation fees, all to no avail. On 2009 Ms. Dinis represented me and worked my case with USCIS through Gulf Coast Legal Services. Her analysis of the case was thorough and feasible; she discovered that I was a U.S Citizen by birth right. Her organization skills eased the flow of the overwhelming paperwork all leading to positive results. My family and feel blessed and are utterly grateful for meeting such a fine person with such a great heart and devotion.

The case involved requesting the court to assign an independent professional guardian to manage my aging mother's health care and finances, in place of a family member who had a financial conflict of interest and also lacked health care expertise, resulting in rapid erosion of mother's health and mental capacity. The incumbent family member counter-petitioned the court for guardianship. The result, thanks to Ha, was that the judge assigned a guardian who is independent of all family members and is doing what is in the best interests of my mother.

To All Current and/or Future Clients, I've know Richard McKyton off and on since 2002/2003. Overall, he is a decent individual and seems to be a competent attorney. Unfortunately for him and his partner, my specific issue is with his female office assistant. In this context, I recently stopped into the office on Central Av. just to ask Richard a few questions. Upon walking into their office I made contact with said female assistant and things went south rather quickly when she repeatedly demanded my full last name. Furthermore, she stated something to the effect that if I didn't give her my full last name that I was to get out or she would call the S.P.P D. on me. In turn, I reluctantly decided to comply with said female's unreasonable and somewhat mean spirited demands for me to leave the office. In closing, I even tried to call the office post incident which was suggested by a male on site, but when said female answered the phone I wasn't able to get past her rude and one-sided interrogative type behavior. End of Review.

A severe hail storm rolled through our neighborhood in the summer of 2020. That following spring, several of our neighbors had their roofs replaced due to damage inflicted by the storm. We reached out to a contractor who worked with our insurance company so that we could also replace our storm damaged roof. Over the course of a few months our contractor went back-and-forth with the insurance company showing them time and time again—proof of significant damage which had left the integrity of our roof compromised. Meanwhile, more and more of our neighbors we’re having new roofs installed just about every week. It was infuriating. It wasn’t until we reached out to Michael Labbee with PHL for help and guidance as an intermediary in the process that we made any traction. In fact, it was almost immediate. Not even a week after we had reached out to them…they came back with a significant settlement from our insurance company. We will now be able to join our neighbors and replace our roof appropriately. 10/10 would use Mr. Labbee/PHL again for any issues that may arise where they could be of assistance!

After 18 years combined federal service between active-duty military and federal civil service, my health military service-connected health conditions quickly began deteriorating, making it quite difficult for me to remain productive and reliable in my current job. But at only 46 years of age, I knew early FERS retirement wasn’t an option for me yet with my current employer. After contacting attorney Barszcz; however, I quickly learned that I had hope … that disability FERS retirement would be an option for me based on my conditions and my time in service. Attorney Barszcz was very attentive, professional, and patient with me during my initial consultation and has been in in every subsequent phone conversation from there on forward. Attorney Barszcz was quickly able to assess my circumstances at the beginning seeing a potential positive outcome to my situation and was able to thoroughly advise me on how to proceed with the application. And boy, was he right! After moving forward with my application, having him represent me throughout my entire OPM FERS disability retirement process, I was able to get an approval with the initial submission just 6 months later! Attorney Barszcz was always able to give me an answer to all of my questions and always responded in a timely manner. Thank you, attorney Barszcz. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without your help!

Hi Mr. Barszcz: I am extremely grateful to you regarding your honest response, professional integrity and high ethical standards unlike many other attorneys who asked for fees ranging up to $5000. One of them took $2000 from me and billed me for approximately $1500 within three days and then wrote to me in his email that he has been frustrated with OPM as usual dealing with their bureaucracy while trying to contact OPM to inquire about the status of my case, and strongly recommended me to contact my congressional representative asking them to intercede with OPM to expedite processing my case, as they are frequently very helpful in getting OPM’s attention. I am already under such financial and mental distress that I can’t describe. I have contacted local congressman and senator and also two accountants are helping me to put together a response. The accountants found big flaws in two letters that I received from OPM. I probably never sent you the second letter dated 10/25/13, where now OPM claimed that pay for my position in 2011 was $162,343 and not $120,343, and the 80% income limitation was $129,874 and not $96,274 as previously stated in their first letter dated 7/3/13. But they are now telling me that the income that I made was not $96,949 but $163,809, so I am still over and have terminated my disability as of last year June 2012. The Social Security on the other hand has already issued me a letter dated 10/23/13 with my new earned income as $89,187, and my accountants can’t figure out how OPM got to the figure $163,809. So I am now going through the Congressman/Senator. I hope this is resolved soon. I am sorry to have taken your time again, but I couldn’t resist to appreciate your honesty and high moral standards. My father was an attorney back in my home country, Pakistan and he held such high standards as you did and you just reminded me of him. I truly became tearful thinking of him when I was reading your email. He had passed away in 1979. I salute you for who you are ….. I wish I could post this on either your website or some blog place so people can see what an incredible human being you are !!! Thank you very much for your advice.

Collin prepared my 2017 tax returns for me and did a great job. I had some unusual circumstances and he handled them with attention and care. He was extremely responsive to my emails, including when I bombarded him with multiple emails late at night, always responding in less than 24 hours. He was patient, kind, and explained everything. Highly recommend!

I was in a car accident when I was pregnant with my third child. I was rear-ended in my Lexus ES300 by a Dodge Ram truck. Not at a high speed, but enough to herniate discs in my cervical and lumbar spine. The person who hit me only had $10,000 in coverage, which was quickly exhausted with medical bills. The first attorney I hired worked with the other driver's insurance company to get me the maximum of their policy, then we went to my insurance company for the $10,000 in coverage that I had for uninsured/underinsured motorist. That first attorney rarely returned phone calls and, after about six months after the claim was filed with my insurance company, urged me to settle for under $2,000, which didn't seem right to me. I was told about Cameron Brumbelow through a mutual acquaintance and decided to switch attorneys. Once Mr. Brumbelow took my case things proceeded very quickly. He routinely returned phone calls within a few hours, and always returned them within a 24-hour period. In about 2-3 months he had my insurance company agreeing to pay the full amount ($10,000) of my uninsured motorist policy. I highly recommend Mr. Brumbelow to anyone looking for an attorney who cares about his clients and is willing to fight for their rights.

Wow--- completely blown away by Nate's skills as a mediator. My case was extremely complex and went on for many years. We had already been to mediation several times before and parent coordination. We had not been able to have any movement or agreements on our case. Mediation was required to attend before we could go to trial so I didn't think we would reach any kind of agreement. I was so wrong. Nate is extremely skilled at what he does and was able to help us get a full settlement after being in a divorce and custody battle for YEARS. I'm grateful for his creativity and flexibility. He is QUICK thinking on his feet and stayed hours after he was supposed to because he saw we could reach a settlement. I would recommend him highly to anyone as a mediator or as an attorney. You can tell he is there because of his passion and his talent. He is not someone who just collects the money. He brings results.

I hired Gregory to reopen a 16 year old probate case, as an error needed to be corrected through the court and the attorney who originally handled the probate is deceased. I was under an extremely tight deadline and was very stressed about the situation. Gregory quickly met with me, calmed me down, and assured me he could have the error resolved by month end. He handled my case professionally and expertly, and it was completed earlier than expected. I will definitely hire Gregory again if the need arises and recommend him to others.

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.
