Thank you Mr. Pogosian for your help and guidance during my hearing. Although my court hearing was stressful and I was nervous, as I had never gone through this type of process before, Mr. Pogosian guided and supported me the entire way, from our pre-court phone conversations, our face to face pre-hearing date meeting, to our time after the hearing. Mr. Pogosian explained the process to me in detail and helped clarify all of my questions and concerns. Not only was Mr. Pogosian knowledgeable and helpful in all aspects of my situation and the hearing process, he was kind, caring, and empathetic to my story. Thank you so much! We received a Fully Favorable response from the court regarding my hearing. I'm so grateful!

Mr. Pogosian was very professional. I arrived 30 minutes early for my court date because I was very nervous but Mr. Pogosian was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable. If you did not understand something such as a legal terms or procedure he would explain it in away you could understand. That really helped when I got in to see the judge. I was very impressed with him and if needed I would hire him again. Thank you for assigning Mr. Pogosian to my case!

I thought Jack did a good job. I understand that he is all over the country with these hearings and it is not feasible to meet with every client. How ever from my side I've waited for over 2 year for this hearing and it would have been a little more reassuring to meet with the representative earlier then 10 to 15 minutes prior to the hearing when I have concerns. He did a pretty good job preparing me over the phone and telling me what expect and the outcome was good.

I've worked with Judy on several cases and have found her to be a pleasure to work with. She is knowledgable, thorough, patient and considerate. She takes a real interest in her clients and the circumstances they are facing. She handles even the most challenging circumstances professionally, rationally and successfully. She's a great find.

I highly recommend Ms. Leffew to hire her as your lawyer. She tries her best to take your side in any possible way. When the judge becomes stupid that is not Ms. Michelle fault. I have hired her as my lawyer to fight for my restrain order that was issued under my name. And she tried her best to fight for it and brought good points to the attention of court but the judge was unfair. I gave all the credit to Ms. Michelle and Mr. fine for representing me and both of them are great lawyers. Hire them without any regrets.

I had a high speed chase with the helicopter and was charged with a felony and a misdemeanor, I was possibly facing more than a year in prison and this pit bull of a lawyer got it reduced to a misdemeanor with a little bit of community service and a very small fine. I was referred to her through a friend who had gotten himself in some hot water as well and she also worked her magic for him. She’s super cool and her communication is excellent, I couldn’t be happier. If you’re in serious legal trouble you need her on your team, trust me.

Michelle was very professional and new exactly what steps to take throughout the whole process, she also helped me prepare myself mentally and emotionally and made me feel confident about her and the whole situation, and when we concluded and finalized my case I was so happy that she was my attorney and wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to help me get through a situation like that. Thanks to her I am able to move forward in my life and take care of my family.

I was very fortunate to retain Claire Lightner to represent me in my Divorce a few years back. I must say she couldn't make me feel more secure and really handled my Divorce flawlessly. She was always available and accessible and I never felt like I could not reach her for any questions or concerns I may have had. Claire is very detailed oriented and was so prepared for every situation that was thrown at her. My Divorce was a very stressful situation for me but, she was aggressive and she proved that she was there to comfort me and make me feel at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a solid Divorce Attorney and I have done so many times since!

I can't say enough how grateful I was for the excellent legal representation I received from Claire. Going through a divorce was one of the most stressful events in my life and I couldn't have been in better hands. She had to work with a very difficult petitioner who had a very challenging lawyer. I was so impressed with how she wouldn't to allow the legal expenses for useless actions brought on by the petitioner to get out of hand. She was excellent in the courtroom and always well prepared. She always made sure I understood what the legal actions I was facing and was well prepared on how to counsel me on my options. Her legal knowledge, care for her clients, professionalism, honesty and integrity are at the highest level. I highly recommend Claire for any family law needs.

First off, no one asked me or suggested I write a favorable review for my former Attorney Claire Lightner (pause to raise right hand and solemnly swear). This is just a small token of my appreciation for her taking on my train wrecked case, knowing that there would be no big pay out at the conclusion. The other reason I'm writing this review is for those conducting their due diligence in seeking a strong female divorce attorney who is scrupulous, smart, and a true advocate. (I went through 3 attorneys prior to finding Claire, two of which were women and neither one held a candle to Claire.) I know that's a big statement and I wouldn't say it if it weren't true - especially after the WAR I went through (4 years) in total. After my horrific experience with the painfully slow family court system, and attorneys (1 especially who represented me for 9 months who truly earned the rep that most attorneys are blood suckers), I felt folks should know that there is an attorney I would recommend and I'm sure other clients of Claire's would as well. My only regret is I found her so late in my case that much of it was not repairable. That said, she fought hard to right the ship as best as she could and I and my children will be forever grateful. Claire and her paralegal Dorothy work well as a team and are meticulous with details. Expect nothing but sheer professionalism, don't expect hand holding, a shoulder to cry on or therapy (not that they aren't sympathetic), they are, but they are not about wracking up billable hours - which is a good thing! They stick to facts and the law and present them in a clear and convincing way. Advice or consults are good as well - if you want to start there. I feel Claire is honest in her reaction in hearing the details of the case and also predicts an honest scenario of expectation too. Even if it's not best case for you or what you hoped to hear. Now that I think is the mark of TRUE professional with morals and values! In the more often than not ugly divorce business, I think that's really something. Good luck!

Mark, has helped us very much through trial times of losing some of our retirement investments. Keeping us informed on our case has been his biggest asset. His knowledge of our case has helped as well. When you are going through a lawsuit it is important to have a lawyer who communicates to you and has the knowledge to let you know where you stand in your case. Mark Brewer has done this for us!

I left a firm three years ago and almost one year to the day, my old firm decided to take me to arbitration. Your first thought is, how will I get through this mess and your second is how will it turn out? I knew I needed someone to walk me through the arbitration process. My wife and I started interviewing numerous lawyers to represent me and when we met Mark he demonstrated that he had a firm grasp of what I was about to go through. And when we hired him he developed a comprehensive plan of action to represent me. During the arbitration process Mark was reassuring and continually updated me. Because of his personal approach to my case I felt relief knowing he was the best. He did not represent himself that he was going to win my case but he told me that he would do everything he could to ensure we came out well on the other side. I hope nothing like this happens to me again but if it does Mark’s office will be the one I call.

Mark laid out a scenario and timeline for our case which proved to be extremely accurate. He prepared us for the legal complications and the emotional stress of our case. Our experience was first rate with no surprises. This was because of Mark's preparation and professionalism. When we got nervous, he made himself available to talk us through the anxiety.

I had been in law enforcement for thirty-five years before retiring in 2014 and have owned a New Jersey Private investigation firm since 2016. Early this Spring, I needed to find a California Private Investigator in order to assist me in conducting a multi jurisdictional investigation. I received multiple recommendations from my colleagues in New Jersey that John Munoz owner of Trusted Eye Investigations was the go to investigator in Southern California. Following the advice I was given I reached out to John and immediately could tell he was a cut above many investigators I had ever worked with Over our three month investigation found John was professional, knowledgeable in investigations as well as being able to think outside the box. John is determined to do a good job and never seems to get tired. I suggest if your in need of a private investigator, at minimum you should give John a look, you are gonna like what you see.

Ever since Vikram passed away about a month and half ago, I only received one call and that was letting me know Vikram had passed away. And someone new would be charge of my case. I had court today 3/28/2022. No one was there to represent me. Prior to my court for more then a week I would call the office to speak to somebody. No one would return my call. I had a good experience with Vikram. But someone was supposed to be in charge of my case after him passing.. I payed alot of money for what so no one could represent me.. Thank God I spoke to a Public Defender and told them mu situation while I was there at court thinking someone would represent me. The public Defender took over the case. And got my case Dismissed. I think I should be allowed a refund of my continuance fee .

They work fast and efficiently to get you the best results possible.When your freedom is in jeopardy and your truth is being questioned having someone fight for you and win is more than an outstanding feeling which is exactly what Mr.Kersey delivered.

Unprofessional and quite frankly lazy. Not experienced enough to take on actual cases. Can only represent a cut and dry case that any attorney can win.

Before I hired Haeggquist & Eck, LLP, I interviewed five of the top Employment law firms in San Diego. Haeggquist & Eck was the firm that spent the most time with me before I hire them. They wanted to make sure they responded to all my questions and I understood the process that awaited me ahead. I am so grateful they represented me. They were always very promptly at communicating any case updates and they always got back to me right away whenever I had questions. I have no family in the United States and I felt very lonely at the beginning of my legal process, however, Haeggquist & Eck truly made me feel like I had somebody knowledgeable, caring and with a lot of experience on my side. One of the law firm's partners came to my house to get to know me better and to assure me that I really matter to them. Also, they provided a therapy counselor to go over empowerment exercises with me. This exercise really helped me since I was feeling pretty low due to the lost of my job. I believe the outcome of my case was excellent due to the persistency, strategy, great care and great experience of Haeggquist & Eck, LLP. I think this firm is very inclusive and I would recommend it to anyone and to all my dear friends and family. I am a Hispanic woman, and I felt very embraced. Thank you so much Haeggquist & Eck, LLP for all great work and care. Special thanks to Amber Eck, Sarah Pike and Jill Kleinman.

I highly recommend this law firm if you’ve been harassed or need support from an illegal work situation. I have worked with this firm on two separate occasions, unfortunately, as their work is in high demand. Not only do they win most of their cases, they are fearless and skilled. No client is too big or too small. They take justice seriously, and their all-female team will hear you and believe you - something you won’t get at most firms. They helped me settle a case out of court, saving me the pain of a public trial, but at the same time, helped me negotiate a fair settlement.Call them, you won’t regret it.

The Zalkin team changed my life, and they feel like family to me. They expertly navigated the rough waters of a difficult and lengthy lawsuit -- all the way up through trial preparations -- and negotiated an out-of-court settlement to the satisfaction of both parties. They brilliantly researched and applied a little-known clause in the Servicemember Civil Relief Act to my case, which was unprecedented, significantly extending the statute of limitations and allowing my lawsuit to continue. Other military members then derived benefit from this clause in their cases, from what I understand. Their team -- I primarily worked with Ryan, Devin, Lisa, and Irwin -- is spectacular. Their compassion, empathy, and professionalism substantially comforted me through arduous and punishing depositions and negotiations. I knew at each step in the process that Irwin and team had my back, had the plan, and had utmost confidence in their strategy. So did I.

The Zalkin Law Firm is an incredible group of people who are not only skilled as attorneys but are passionate advocates for their clients as well. They take their time to educate their clients, and are patient with questions, needs, and the unavoidable emotion that comes up in the process of seeking justice. The entire team is invested. They make their clients feel less alone, and do everything they can to empower them. The firm's commitment to my case, and to me as a person, changed the trajectory of my healing and ultimately, my life. For the first time in my trauma story, I felt seen, heard, known, valued, and encouraged that action was being taken and that I was worth the fight. In the course of my relationship with the Zalkin Law Firm, I learned to stop asking for heroes and start asking for a sword. They handed it to me every time - with enthusiasm, passion, and support. Two years later, I consider this group of people as some of the most important helpers in my story and will forever be in gratitude for their role in my life. If you are seeking representation, you will be safe with the Zalkin Law Firm.

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.
