I had a very positive experience with this law firm. They were able to get a complete dismissal of the ticket i was concerned about. No points or traffic school at all. They communicate very clearly and i felt confident well before the trial date; that i had put my trust in the right firm. They did not disappoint.

If you're in a situation where you need a conservatorship, you already know how difficult and upsetting it can be. Alexis absolutely helped us understand our options, demystified the process, and managed our expectations about what could and would happen. She worked incredibly hard to make a rocky road into something we could traverse, and all with kindness and compassion. I cannot recommend her enough if you're in this situation!

I was referred to Michael Caldwell by a prominent firm in SF as that firm was not accepting cases like mine. From the beginning to the final settlement, Michael walked me through each and every step of the process. I had a minimal claim which didn't deter Michael from helping me to get my case settled. I am forever grateful to Michael for his calm and competent handling of my case and would highly recommend his services to anyone in search of a stellar attorney to represent them.

I was shocked to speak with a lawyer who doesn't listen when others speak. He treated me as less than human, this is a disrespectful person who thinks his intellect makes him better than the rest of us. Well sir, I am of the 98th percentile intellectually. I'm sure you have enough money to not have empathy.

I was wrongfully sued by a former contractor who had helped build my house. Richard was indispensable in helping me WIN that case. Instead of BSing around in arbitration, my case was transferred to superior court, where the judge found for me, WITH PREJUDICE. How often does THAT happen??? I intend to use Richard again, soon, to help me get all my assets into a revocable living trust, because I want a very specific line of beneficiaries prioritized in a bit of a non-traditional way, and I know Richard can provide more than the boiler-plate forms so I can rest easy that my estate will be properly distributed.

Worst lawyer I have ever dealt with, overcharged for minimal work. I even had to locate the applicable case law for him. Of some of the work product produced I ended up throwing a majority out as it was completely unusable before i fired him I found an another lawyer for literally a fraction of the price While working with him he refused to bring my demands to the opposing side claiming they were "unreasonable", Oddly enough when the case was settled they approached me offering, If not exceeding, what he refused to present. Could've save thousands of dollars has Richard Paris presented my demands when requested

Work Comp. is STILL making my life hell and here 3 years later, my knees, STILL have NOT HAD ANY SURGICAL PROCEDURES. All Work Comp. has done for me so far is to get me terminated, from my 60,000 dollar a year job, for being gone so long. (3 years) I Salute Linda Joanne Brown, for her ongoing and unwavering vigilance and professionalism, for helping injured Employees to receive the proper health care and end case resolve.. The Mega Profiting Work Comp. Companies, labels and treat you, as though you were a "MOST WANTED CRIMINAL," because of your injury, Apparently, it affects their millions and billions of dollars of profit.. They get paid, to NOT pay You~!! Linda "SHOULD BE AWARDED" a "MEDAL OF HONOR", BY THE PRESIDENT, OF THE "UNITED STATES"~!!!!!

in 1996 I was referred to Ms. Brown by several medically retired L.E. Officers. I was going through hell with my city on Worker's Comp, that's until I retained Ms. Brown, everything then did a complete 180 degree I didn't feel any longer stressed about my medical benefits or the city's workers comp. trying to do their best not to give benefits and at one point forcing me to retire. When I say she is no nonsense, she looked at my file and told me; She's never seen a more accident prone person in my profession this was right in front of my wife too. She was even more aggressive and truly professional when dealing with the city and it's workers comp carrier. I did have to retire but on my terms and she made sure I was taken care of 100% medically afterwards. I recommend her without a doubt to any public safety person in need of an Excellent WC attorney!

Her protection of law enforcement and fire personnel is great. When you are faced with a disabliliy, loss of your chosen profession, loss of your life-style and retirement, Linda is the one-friend you can count on. The "Defense" can hire a team of lawyers, claim administrators, private investigators and so-called medical experts. You, the injured person, can only count of one person. In my case, that was Linda , ...and I didn't make a bad choice. She will watch out for you and your rights, when everyone else has turned against you. Linda saved me a lot of grief. Linda is up on the current law changes, and legal requirements. With all the changes in California, law enforcement officer need a smart attorney. Additionally, Linda does not let the large defense firm push you around. She would submit items to me, before I would ask for them. My case was involved and a total mess, but Ms. Brown took control and watched out for her client. Thanks Linda.

I interviewed a dozen or so franchise attorneys before going with Rob. After our first chat, I knew I wanted to work with him - he wasn't pushy and really just wanted to give me sound advice from the start. It was so refreshing to work with someone who was really genuine and thoughtful. Now back to his work. We were new to franchising but not new to business - in fact, our team has a few serial entrepreneurs. That said, we knew enough to know that we needed an expert to guide us through this process as franchising is a completely different ballgame. We engaged Rob from the beginning of the process (reviewing our FDD) to final execution of our franchise agreements. Here's what I liked most about Rob: 1. He was SHARP on details - Rob pointed out a number (and I mean a lot) of issues that we needed to address. Franchise agreements are really setup to be one-sided in favor of the franchisor and Rob helped us navigate through many onerous terms to either eradicate or shape them to be more favorable. 2. He was very PRAGMATIC - Rob did a good job of reviewing our agreements and coming up with a good game plan for negotiations. Some attorneys will fight tooth and nail for an all or none solution - this rarely ends up favorable for anyone. In fact, in my experience, this will likely end up with the client walking away from the deal with a lot of attorney's hours. NOT Rob, he respected everyone's time and our budget. He helped us figure out the best approach to getting a deal done. 3. He was EXTREMELY EASY TO WORK WITH - I work with many attorneys across different industries and I can easily say that Rob would be one of the friendliest. One of the challenges I faced talking to other franchise attorney's was that they were very "unapproachable" - almost giving the sentiment that I should be lucky to get their time. Not Rob, whenever we spoke, it was all about me and what I needed - no condescending tone. Going into any new venture can be kind of scary. With Rob, we felt very confident the whole way through. We continue to work with Rob today and would gladly give him a glowing recommendation.

Sarah Wright, ESQ was recommended by a WC attorney, and with good reason! From the beginning, Sarah Wright clearly explained the process and what to expect so there were no surprises down the road. From day one, Sarah has displayed extreme compassion and patience, as this was quite an emotional case for our family. We felt that she was in our corner the whole time, going the extra mile to secure information and evidence, and explaining the reason in simple language, for each process of the case. when my sister has needed to call or email her, she has promptly and consistently responded throughout this case. I admire anyone in this field that really knows their business and takes being an attorney seriously and with pride, yet stays down to earth when working with and believing in their clients, like Sarah Wright! To summarize, Sarah Wright is honest, dependable, knowledgeable and compassionate! I would highly and swiftly recommend her to anyone needing her legal services. Thank you so much!

I was an innocent consumer victim of the anti-consumer practices of Chicago Title and RFC (an arm of the Bank of Chicago). The Sturdevant Law Firm fought for my rights as a consumer and the rights of other victimized consumers, winning a class-action settlement in our favor and sending a clear message to the real estate industry that consumers rights under federal and state law must not be violated. Kudos to Jim Sturdevant and his staff and associates for not giving in to the BIG-MONEY corporate giants! This is a highly ethical and trustworthy law firm. They are the best!

My case was back dated almost 2 years, which got very frustrating for me. There were many continuances, due to covid, and some I think were strategic. He charges a very fair rate (for misdemeanor crimes at least). In my opinion he is a very good lawyer and should hire a legal staff that will be able to 'do the little things' for him. Sometimes I felt like I had to remind him of certain things. But he's busy so I get it. All in all, Mr. Pickett is a very good lawyer and worth the money. He was able to get me a very favorable outcome to my case, given the multiple misdemeanor charges/cases I was facing. He will fight for you until the very end!

I hired Mr. Humber to help me out in a legal matter in which I already hired an attorney. With Mr. Humber’s assistance, the legal matter was resolved this morning. I have used Mr. Humber’s services periodically over the past thirty years. His legal knowledge, emotional intelligence, his interpersonal skills, empathy, compassion, and negotiation skills are amazing. He has made my life easier on so many levels, and I truly appreciate him.

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.

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.

    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.

    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.
