I was injured in a car accident on April of 2011. I found George Najjar online randomly and boy was I glad that I did! George did everything he told me he would do for me and my case. He kept me informed with ALL matters of my case, as new information came in. George was always very professional and made me understand all aspects of how bodily injury cases are handled. I was NEVER mislead in any shape or form by him. George went above and beyond for me, on my case and got me the money that I deserved. I highly recommend George for any bodily injury case! The bottom line is George is a genuine guy, who will not beat around the bush with you. Thank you George for everything you did for me with my case and G-LUCK with your LAW FIRM! Best regards, William L.

Where do I even begin? Ryan Carlson was one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. Ryan is hands down a tactical lawyer who understands the law of the land. Throughout the entire process, Ryan was a phone call away, ready to answer any questions, and give any guidance he could about my case. Overall, Ryan’s guidance, knowledge, and layout not only gave us a victorious result but also left me with a feeling to say I can count on them again if ever needed. Ryan is a fighter, who remains in the moment, and has empathy for the process. If you are looking for an attorney and looking for a good firm in regards to your business, or whether you are looking to get advice from an ill experience from a business - Ryan Carlson is your guy.

I filed a wage claim against my previous employer and decided to hire an attorney for the labor board hearing. After speaking with several attorneys, I chose Ryan for his friendliness, intelligence, and broad knowledge of labor law. He also recognizes when he doesn't know something, and instead of making assumptions, he finds out the facts. I really enjoyed working with him as we developed the strategy for the hearing. I also felt the amount of time he spent on the case, and therefore how much I was billed, was very reasonable. It was worth not only the peace of mind I had, but his presence there was instrumental to me winning my case. I highly recommend Ryan as counsel for any legal matters regarding labor law.

Working with Ryan has been a great experience. He's extremely professional, diligent, and will not rest until the task at hand is complete. I recently needed to revamp an employee handbook with labor law revisions and knew Ryan would be the perfect person for the job, even though it was extremely last minute. He broke down into layman's terms each part of the labor code so I could easily understand it and address any questions my employees might have. I highly recommend working with Ryan and know we'll be needing his services again in the near future during these pertinent growth stages.

Erik has represented me as my business attorney for a little over a year and a half now. I have been involved in a very complex litigation dispute with my business partner and Erik has been extremely helpful throughout this entire process. I honestly don't know where to begin. He is professional, honest, trustworthy, strategic, knowledgable, thoughtful and sincere. He truly cares about his clients and their situations in the sense that he makes himself available to them 24/7 for emails and phone calls. In the military, we like to use the term "fire-and-forget" to describe professionals such as Erik. I would literally tell him my objectives and desired outcomes while involved in litigation and I could just forget about it regardless of how stressful the situation was because I know that Erik would get the job done and far surpass my every expectation in doing so. I am proud to have him on my side and would highly recommend him!

I first approached Haeggquist & Eck with my very complicated employment situation after being impressed by their defense of plaintiffs against Trump University. Upon evaluating the merits of my case, I was very fortunate that Alreen Haeggquist agreed to represent me. During each step of the lengthy process that ensued, Alreen and Jenna Rangel were my tireless advocates. They were extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of employment law; astonishing in their ability to master the immense amount of evidence in my case; and strategic in handling its myriad complexities. Importantly, Alreen and Jenna were always tough-minded, yet supportive and empathetic towards me. They made me feel that we were in this fight together and their convictions never wavered. I felt their strength all along, which remains a lasting bond. I give my strongest endorsement to the Haeggquist & Eck law firm where you will find professionalism, legal mastery, tenacity, responsiveness, empathy and strength among everyone on its team. You couldn't do better than having a powerful, skillful, professional and empathetic advocate like Alreen Haeggquist.

This Cadillac of men, not only did everything I was told from the first time meeting him, he went above and beyond what I thought a lawyer would ever do. This man GENUINELY cares about his clients and he was nothing short of a zealous advocate in regards to my case and my settlement funds. If you have an inkling you are getting done over by your employer do not hesitate to call this physical manifestation of an inter-stellar being with and uncanny amount of knowledge of his practice. He won't BS with you, he won't whisper sweet sweet nothings in your ear to appease you; this is not a "yes man" this is Jason the fight for your rights "Ass" Whooper!

I have hired Mr. Vent to deal with several different matters and, in fact, have referred a friend to him. Sean is extraordinary in several areas, notably comprehension of complex matters, retention of details, ability to assess the legal aspects of a case and explain it to the client, as well as in his ability to provide information that allows the client to settle or to move forward. Of great importance to me is that he actually answers the phone or responds to a message the same day, often the same hour. This is unique amongst all of the MANY MANY MANY attorneys I have hired over my long life, regardless of the area of specialty.. Being involved in ANY legal issues and/or litigation is always frustrating. I strongly recommend Sean to any person looking to limit the aggravation of dealing with attorneys, litigation and legal matters, yet be thoroughly satisfied with the highly competent and professional representation that he offers. Call him NOW. You will be happy with his representation. We certainly were!.

Yes, even attorneys need a good attorney sometimes…. Thank you, Vent Legal! While in law school, I was hit by a car while riding my bike. My expensive bike and laptop were ruined, and I quickly racked up some chiropractic bills. A hired a "big shot" personal injury attorney who sat on the case for 2 years before getting disbarred. The deadlines for my case were expiring, and my claim was sinking faster than the Titanic. A friend recommended I call Sean Vent for help. Sean allowed me to explain my case and its issues, outlined realistic goals, and quickly developed a plan to save my claim. Sean took on the big insurance company that believed it had all but buried my case. Sean's communication with me was excellent, as he continually kept me in the loop on all aspects of my case. He took a 2.5 year old sinking claim, and settled it to my satisfaction within 3 weeks. Sean's fee was very reasonable. In addition, he worked with my chiropractor on the bill. If you're in need of a personal injury lawyer, especially for a car accident or bike accident, then I definitely recommend Sean Vent of Vent Legal.

I am the plaintiff in a pending new wrongful termination case. I am exceptionally well documented in my evidence against the defendant. So, when I 'shopped the case around' with several attorneys by phone & email, there was much interest. But Mr Olsen showed much more than interest in my story; he was invested in it. He was genuinely aggrieved and indignant that my company had fired me after I caught management forging my inspector's stamp & signature on FAA certs. That was just what I wanted. I hired him immediately. The case is just beginning but to this point Mr. Olsen has shown himself to be a motivated and aggressive attorney. I'm glad I found him.

This is a guy who touched his 9 year old daughter during/after the shower and videotaped her while she was changing her clothes, and who withheld medication and night-guard from his 8 year old son, who developed migraine/headache and grinding teeth after DVTRO was filed.

When I came to Sara I had hired and consulted another lawyer to handle a paternity suit that was sprung on me while I was visiting the USA after residing in another country. This was very difficult, as I could not leave the country with my child and go home to my husband and my child's stepdad (whom she views as her dad). I was very scared because I had single-handedly raised my child and I knew no one else should have the right to keep me from traveling anywhere, as this person had not even contributed to my child's birth or upbringing in any significant way. But, that being said, the reality was such that I was being advised by my first lawyer that I should respond to the paternity suit with a move-away trial as I had barely missed dismissing the case with a jurisdictional claim. I felt something was off though, because this case was so clear and cut (my ex was not on the birth certificate, he had not emotionally or financially supported me/the child in any significant way). **I saw the light when I spoke to Sara. She confirmed my intuition with her expertise, immediately confirming that I indeed could file for a termination of parental rights. She lay my fears to rest. We met and I presented her with the facts of my case. After assuring me she would not take my case if she did not believe she could help me, I released my other lawyer from duty and hired her. What a great decision!! She lived up to her reassurances: it took perhaps longer than the move away trial, which was inconvenient only due to my particular case of being in a country we no longer reside in, away from my husband and our new life abroad, yet so worth it so that, a) my husband could adopt my son; and, b) to get the ex out of our hair so that he could no longer make our lives difficult. I had faced a lot of disempowering conversations amongst not only people, acquaintances, etc. but also lawyers: people discouraging me from doing the termination of parental rights just because it sounded "mean" and so "final" to them. I knew inside of me, however, that the way my ex was handling this was unhealthy and selfish towards my child, with a paternity suit (after I had tried SO many times to civilly settle for some kind of visitation, yet he disappeared whenever he wanted, was inconsistent, and really only looked after his own interests and not my son's, who needs consistency in his life) and not being agreeable to reaching some kind of settlement (other than keeping my child after he had NEVER had custody, ever, or even seen him more than a handful of times/hours in his years of life). The point is--Sara empowered me. She never once questioned me, she backed me up 100% and was a strong ally. She understand completely what I wanted, why I wanted it, has a child herself and understood my protective feelings toward my child, that I was 100% committed to her best interest. She did her job diligently. I knew I could count on her to show up at the court appearances, and made an uncomfortable situation even pleasant. She wrote the briefs in such a way that made complete sense to me. She has ample expertise on the topic of stepparent adoption and termination of parental rights. She knew a lot of the staff in the courts/ offices we were in, and they knew her. She was personable, kind, compassionate, prepared, in communication, easy to get a hold of. Her offices made it easy and pleasant to pick up/drop off documents. Also, when I told her that I was looking to get budget-oriented towards the middle of the whole legal situation, she was so cooperative and helpful with this. We won our case and just got word the appeal was dismissed as well. Cannot recommend her enough if you are in this sort of situation. She certainly seems like *THE* lawyer to hire in any kind of similar situation. I recommend her fully.

I never imagined being in a situation where I needed to take such extreme measures in order to fight for my child's right to play outside our apartment complex. One day as my neighbor and I were supervising our kids, the on-site manager approached us told us that the kids could not be playing outside. She stated that our lease agreement indicated that kids were not allowed to play outside. We continued to allow our kids to play outside. A few days later the on-site manager's husband went to my neighbor's and my apartment. He said we CANNOT continue to allow our kids to play outside. I asked him where he wanted the kids to play and his response was, "you are lucky we live right across the street from a park, so take him there." I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I decided to escalate it and give the management company a call because I knew they could not prohibit our children from playing outside. Boy was I wrong! The management company and the property owner supported the on-site manager. There were so many feelings that we were going through anger, alone, scared, the not knowing. We felt as we did and used everything in our power to try and to reach out to someone because we were crying out for help! How can managers get away with such a thing and allow them to feel like they have all the POWER in the world? One day my neighbor received a 60 day notice to leave the apartment and we received a verbal threat that we were next. I did my research because I could not allow the managers to continue to intimidate us nor our children. I reached out to a few attorneys and all they'd say was we "really" didn't have a case or that they can send the manager a letter. I felt as if the doors were shutting and that the manager may be right after all. When I Craig Fagan's website, I had tears in my eyes. My neighbor and I decided to give Craig a call. He is SUPER understanding, kind, family oriented and most important makes you feel like everything is going to be fine. If you talk to Craig, it is obviously because you have been discriminated and do not know what to do. All I can say is, fight for your right and stop allowing discrimination to continue. The thought of the entire process sounds scary, but TRUST me it's the right thing to do. You are not alone; Craig is with you through the ENTIRE process. I normally do not write testimonials but I had to for this because it has honestly been the best decision we could have made and I want EVERYONE to know that there is hope! Best of luck to you!

I was a client of craig and he settled the case in a timely manner and we were very happy with his knowledge. we were being discrimnated against for letting our daughter to play outside of the apartment the only time our daughter could be outside was if we were leaving to go somewhere which was becoming old very fast. But we settled out of court for a good amount and we were very happy with the outcome. keep up the good work craig.

I would recommend Richard to anyone! He took over a case for a personal injury because another lawyer was not treating us right. Richard is amazing. I can usually get him to call back right away, unless he is in court and responds to every email I send. He is prompt with delivery of updates and sends copies of any contact to all parties involved with the case. He is very dependable and easy to talk to about things. Really is a pleasure to have someone who actually believes in you to represent you. I have nothing but good things to say.

I have used Richard Fahey for several different concerns, including a dispute arising out of a construction project. He is also very knowledgeable in working with agencies pertaining to social services. Richard is an extremely honest individual. Prior to retaining him, he listened to my problems and attempted to help me via several phone calls without charge. After it was evident that I needed to retain an attorney, he has always displayed the utmost in professionalism. Richard is versed in a wide variety of subjects, however should he need additional resources, he meticulously researches the area in question. He is able to be assertive when necessary and has excellent writing skills. In aquiring the information necessary to represent me, he was meticulous in ensuring that he received all the important facts prior to our hearing. I would recommend him highly.

I had a very complex case in San Diego , which required a lot of research, I received a letter from Dept. of Child Support saying I owed $80k, (from owing $0 Support ) I knew I had to get a lawyer right away to fight . I was paired up with Mr. Miller because of his patience and excellent research ability. With his help we were able to bring down a simple misunderstanding to a fraction of what they were demanding. Not only was I impressed but the judge also commended Mr Miller for the research he presented. I also want to mention, I live In Sacramento and did everything thru phone & email with no problems. I would highly recommend Mr. Miller

Among the three family lawyers that I èxperienced during my extended divorce proceeding, Jeff was, by far, the most accountable, honest, and effective. Unlike the other lawyers and associate lawyers, he fufilled his promises and maintained his professionalism throughout the process. I would highly recommènd interviewing Jeff before making a decision to hire anyone else.

Sophie took my case with short notice and came through with an excellent plan, careful coaching and a thoroughly convincing presentation. With her help, I won my unemployment reversal, and I could not have done so without her. She listened carefully to my situation, formulated our strategy and provided me the guidance I needed to bring about a reversal of my claim. She outlined a series of carefully directed questions to layout a clear path of the events, the path that the judge could follow to make the determination in my favor. She reached out to me promptly with her plan and coached me repeatedly and reassuringly. She was calming and thoughtful when I was suffering from serious anxiety. Sophie is the kind of professional I would recommend to anyone looking for excellence, character and integrity.

Ms Geguchadze only had 10 days to review my case prior to my hearing. Within that time she was able to formulate a great plan of attack. She gave me excellent coaching on how to properly respond to the questions. During the hearing she was prepared, calm & collected, and able to think on her feet. Very responsive to all my emails and phone calls. Great experience working with her. I was very worried about my unemployment claim not having a good chance but with her hard work we were able to win. I would not have had victory without her.

Frank Clowney was recommended by a San Diego lawyer friend of mine when I had some legal concerns at work. That turned-out to be one of the best recommendations in my life. He advised-me accurately and provided documentation, feedback and followed-through to completion. All-in-all I'm much better-off since I met Frank.

Frank Clowney is an excellent attorney and has the respect of judges within the profession as evidenced by a judges comment as we appeared before him for arbitration. The judges first comment was "You have a good one here", referring to Frank Clowney's reputation in appearing before him. His next comment was equally telling. "How much do you want" in response to settling the arbitration case.

My wife and I found Bob Weaver with a Google Search because we needed a lawyer to deal with a disreputable contractor that was trying to extort us for purported work he had done on investment real property we owned in San Diego. This legal work to stop this illegal activity was way beyond what we were expecting. He is good! Later, he helped us with our home search as our real estate broker and with the mortgage process. We have the highest regard for Bob and the services he offers to clients. Highly recommended.

Danny is generous with his time, forthcoming, and attentive to clients' needs. I appreciate his knowledge, his willingness to help, his stature and his seriousness when it comes to even the smallest of legal problems. He will make himself available and he will tell you how it is. I used Danny's services to set up a Trust, I relied on Danny when I had a business location issue, and I called on Danny when I had a labor dispute. Each time, Danny was there for me. He told me how it was and helped me to the fullest capacity. Danny is not the type of person you meet and instantly want to hug, but when he comes through, guns blazing, you won't stop hugging him. He's not a bullshiter, he's a doer, and everything he's done for me was quality work and didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I really appreciate Danny as an attorney and as a friend.

I worked with Mr. Doyle on an internet privacy case years ago. He is definitely not what I expected from an attorney. He is generous with his time. He is excellent at making complex legal concepts easy to understand for non-legal folks. When internet privacy law was basically non-existant, he was fearless when going up against the big boys. Having his number in my cell phone means that the legal world is not quite so scary. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I worked with Kyle Nordrehaug and Jon Zacharias on a case concerning unpaid overtime wages. They were extremely knowledgeable about this matter. The attorney, Kyle, was very easy to talk with and knew exactly how to handle my case. They were very open about how they wanted to handle this, what the information I was providing was being used for, and also how the case was progressing. What's important to me is understanding the law; Kyle and his assistant, Jon, did an excellent job of explaining the law to me and how it related to my personal experience.

I feel lucky to have found Steffan. After a bad experience with a high-priced law firm, I turned to Steffan to draft an operating agreement. My experience with him could not have been better, and I will absolutely call on his services again. Steffan is a business owner himself and he keeps costs down because he doesn't want to see other business owners pay more than they should. He also approaches law from a more practical angle than many lawyers I've dealt with, probably because he has a working knowledge of real world consequences. He knows the law well and communicates clearly, and he is knowledgeable, honest, and responsive. I cannot recommend Steffan highly enough.

Good Morning Steffan, I would like to take a moment to thank you for exemplary performance managing our defense as well as the counter claim. Your ability to quickly come up to speed on the scenario, particularly coming in mid-stream, was appreciated and impressive. From the earliest communications your clear, concise definition of both the legal steps to maximize our leverage as well as the psychological mindset provided exceptional confidence. Understanding when and how we planned to transition from the defense to an offensive footing was particularly powerful. All of our queries were quickly and competently answered. Your direction, input and understanding of the negotiation allowed us to quickly come to an agreeable outcome eliminating unnecessary delay or cost. I would be confident recommending you, as well as the entire team at Romero Park for any corporate legal needs. Sincerely, -- Nate Collins

I found that Ms. Scott was knowledgeable when it came to the custody case. Ms. Scott was always professional and genuinely cared about my dayghter and and myself. She was always informing me of the status of my case and different possibilites of the outcome. If I had questions I could call anytime and if she was not available she would call back as soon as she was able. Ms. Scott showed up to court dressed very professional and understood my wishes for custody. She would talk to me about an agreement and if the agreement was bad or not to my liking then she would voice that and not agree. Ms. Scott never pressered me to do or agree to anything, instead she recommended that before I would discuss anything to contact her. I had talked to a few lawyers in the area and all of them seemed to busy to sitdown and discuss my case, others would purse an expensive case. Ms. Scott made me feel comfortable and eager for me to dicuss my case. Ms. Scott would also inform me if doing something was a bad idea and educate me on a different approach, that was effective and saved time and money. I will use Ms. Scott to represent me in the future and I would recommended her to anyone needing legal assistance for a fair price and comfortable no pressure representation.

I am a father and I could not have gotten my daughter back in my arms without the tremendous work done by Alexis Scott. I now have my five-year-old daughter back in my life AND with full custody after her mom abducted her and fled the state in 2009. I wasted precious time and money with the wrong lawyer for over a year. When I hired Alexis and Tony Solare they fixed the mistakes made by my previous lawyer and covered all the bases to ensure that I received full physical and legal custody of my daughter. It can go unmentioned how extremely difficult it is for a father to receive custody of his child, but she did it! They were great to work with and very flexible on money matters. I recommend them with 100% confidence; my only wish was that I went to them first, so I wouldn’t have wasted time and money with my previous lawyer.

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:

    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.

    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.
