Michael Mack promised to do all he can to remove an arrest record, which he did in a very professional maner. He kept his word, was helpful and supportive during the process, and was a great moral support during this awful time. My wife and I have great respect for Mr. Mack. How someone, who deals with other peoples problems day in and day out, still can find the heart, to show that he truly cares for his client, is simply amazing and shows the human quality of this great lawyer.

The other review was dead on. Michael handled a case for me a few years ago and went above and beyond what I would ever expect from an Attorney. Very responsive and actually cared what happened to my case. Took alot of time with me to hear every aspect of the situation. Even after the case was over, he filed additional paperwork that cleared my name on all levels. Best trustworthy attorney out there!

Grace was very flexible with my schedule (I work out of town) and kept me informed on the status of my case in a very unpleasant situation with my ex-husband. Her willingness to go the extra mile helped me be able to have the situation addressed and settled in court with most of my requests being granted by the court. Grace even worked on my case while she was on vacation with her family (this was WAY more than I had ever expected). She is a lawyer with integrity and honesty that is not often heard of in her profession. I would and have recommended Grace to other's in need of someone with her skills.

Grace Ogburn represented me in my divorce 9 months ago. It was a very hard thing for me to go through. Grace was very helpful, and super informative. She put my mind at ease. She was very knowledgeable, caring, and SHE LISTENED to me. I truly believed that Grace made it easier for me to get through this. Of course, going through the divorce was still painful, but Grace helped cushion he blow. I recommended a friend to Grace. I know she is in good hands!

Grace Ogburn was professional, caring, understanding and awsome! She listened to me, did not judge, did all she could to help me in my situation, was very honest, fair, up to date with the laws. Let me tell you, she did a GREAT job! I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of my case. Grace stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park! I have recomended her to everyone who I know who needs legal advice or a GREAT attorney. I was so amazed by her great attitude, willingness to help and her compassion. She loves her job and helping people and it truely shows. She responded to ALL my calls, emails, text messages. Her ability to do the job accurate without error or questions was amazing. She knew what she was doing every step of the way. She let me know the progress of my case every step of the way. She went over in length what was going to be done, how it was going to be done and made sure I was comfortable with it, agreed and approved it. She was so honest when she billed me. Shes fair, honest, kind, smart, very kind and a wonderful person to have on your side! I highly recomend her if you want your case to go YOUR way, the fair, honest and descent way.

He is incredible! If you're in need of an attorney, Mr. C Peters is the one! I had hired him on for a case of mine that I don't need to get into but in short, my good nature was taken advantage of which resulted in litigation. If I had gone anywhere else, I don't think it would have worked out the same. I say that b/c, being in business for years prior to this problem arising, I'd hired many attorneys and I'd also usually end up firing them as well. They were useless, to say the least. Constantly arguing with my point of view, forgetful, billing me constantly but could never produce any meaningful bills. It turns out that one of them was actually a friends with the opposing side's attorney! Yeah, that worked out well. For those 2! Anyway, Mr. Peter's was there the entire time. He listened, was intelligent and kind to my money problems during the process. It was pure luck that I came across him but should I ever need anyone in the future, he's the one. Please do yourselves a favor and bring him on as your representation. An all around, wonderful human being!

I enthusiastically recommend Luis A. Barba, Esq. to anyone involved in a landlord-tenant dispute. I had to break my lease due to my landlord's failure to fulfill their contractual obligations, as outlined in my lease. Moreover, the landlord wanted to charge me an unreasonable sum of money to break the lease. Attorney Barba wrote the landlord a letter spelling out my legal rights as a tenant that resulted in the landlord's acquiescence to our terms. Not only is Attorney Barba commendably knowledgeable of the law, but he is also caring towards his clients. He was always very responsive to any inquiries I had. He is, in my opinion, an excellent attorney.

I was involved in a serious auto accident where the other driver was at fault. When I tried to handle the claim on my own, the other driver's insurance started playing games with me. I hired Lance and within a week the other insurance company accepted 100% of the liability. Throughout the next several months Lance worked with the insurance and my medical providers to get me a very fair settlement. Lance and his entire office were professional and effecient. I'm glad I contacted him and decided to have him fight for me.

Since the accident wasn't my fault, my attorney, Lance Rupp was able to get me treated and I was compensated as well. It is really important to document everything if you are in an accident and definitely use an attorney. I would definitely use this law firm again.

I have hired Suanne honey to represent me in a very complex high conflict divorce case. Before meeting her through word of mouth I had dealt with two incompetent attorneys who showed great skill in charging me before showing their skill in Law and neither could be trusted. I was very frustrated by this situation since they neither gave me good advice or helped push my case in the right direction. Suanne changed all of that and got on the case right away and I started seeing result. Her advice from the beginning has been invaluable and her work has been excellent. She knows the law very well and she has many years of experience. On top of that she is very trust worthy, honest and not about the money. She is real and I am glad I have her representing me.

I have been a long time permanent resident for 30 years. In my early 20's I got mixed up in drugs and picked up some very serious drug convictions. My green card was expiring last year so I decided to submit my application for naturalization. I went to my interview and was detained and a deportation order was issued against me. I was detained for 30 days. Meanwhile my family called attorneys and many turned us away with no hope on relief in my situation. Fabian was one of the only attorneys that saw hope in my situation. My family hired him and he showed up in immigration court and I was released on bail. 8 months later I had my first court appearance where Serrato law was able to get my deportation case terminated based on a decision from the 9th district court only 2 weeks before my court date. The government agreed and my citizenship app was approved. I couldn't be more happy with these guys. Highly recommend. These guys know there stuff. Thanks guys!!!

A few weeks ago, we posted that Fred Anderson had quit our friends suit and was quite upset. Later we had found out that Fred Anderson had not quit and was proceeding with trial. My wife and I were there through the first two days of trial. Watching Mr. Anderson through the glass door, you could tell his passion for the truth and his total dedication to our friends situation, and at times could hear Mr. Anderson through the glass getting his point across to the courtroom and to the presiding judge. During this process, getting ready for trial, having to be here or there, Mr. Anderson always kept our friend informed and gave the facts of the case to him, without sugar coating it. His strength, courage and knowledge of this type of the law was beyond, what we would ever think was out there and saw a master of his craft working hard to prove that his client was wronged. To sit with Mr. Anderson you can tell his mind is working constantly, doing every sceneraio that he could imagine, thinking of what ever law he needed to be brought in on this case and kept looking at the trial steps ahead of time. While questioning myself and my wife, Mr. Anderson helped us with the questions, engaging us to relax and think about our answers and answer them clearly as we could recall. Mr. Anderson never made us feel inadequate while questioning us and thanked us several times for standing by our friends side. So to you Mr. Anderson, we sincerely apologize for "jumping the gun" our our last posting. We had been misinformed and just took that information as the truth. You are a man of a fine art and you have the wisdom beyond all others when it comes to the law and helping your client with delicate issues, was well done. Even though that day the court didn't decide in your favor, you still won this case in our minds. We have told several of our trucker friends that if they ever have an issue that requires an attorney, we have recommended you to them. You have a sincere passion for the truth and sought the truth to be told on that day, You didn't promise anything to our friend, except that you'd be there, do your best in representing him and to get the truth to be told once and for all. You are a true and honest man, which is extremely hard to find in these days. We again sincerely apologize to you, for assuming what we had been told was the truth. You taught two older people, not to jump until learning the facts.

It's sad that they don't give 10s in this case, as watching Fred Anderson go from aggressive, to passive, to aggressive on this case, made me scratch my head at times. Watching him was a true art form while fighting for his client and keeping the composure through-out this trial was a rare site. Fred Anderson looked, acted, and dealt with the matters that were handed him in the ut-most professional design. We were a little worried as there were times he seemed out in a zone, but it was that he was searching for the law, the words, the fight, to win this case. He came across as posed and as professional as anyone we had ever witnessed before. He knew what he was up agaist yet, he bowled right through it as he had a job to do. He won this case in our minds, but the jury didn't see it that way, that day. I would reccommend Fred Anderson to anyone I know that has a legal problem. If he doesn't know what he could do to help, he'll help you find some one that will. I certainly am very happy and willing to eat my words on this case. Fred Anderson won this day.

I hired Michael Dawe to handle a lawsuit against Liberty Mutual on a "duty to defend issue". I am a small woman-owned business and Michael Dawe gave me the confindence to take on the "Big Corporate Fish"-Liberty Mutual. The case was heard in Federal Court. It was a jury trial. We won the case including punitive damages. Mr. Dawe and his staff are very professional and easy to work with. They kept me informed throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Michael Dawe and his firm for any of your corporate legal issues, especially in the insuance litigation arena.

Knows the law, knows trial tactics, is highly regarded by his clients and peers and respected by his adversaries. Does what he says he is going to do, when he says he'd do it. Doesn't over-bill. Gets results. Been using Michael Dawe for about 10 years on a variety of transactional matters as well as litigation. No regrets.

I had three attorneys before I hired Edward, and he blew everyone away. He is confident, fair, reassuring, and dedicated. He is the managing partner at his firm for a reason. He was able to see things other attorneys were not able to see in my case, he's very insightful. Fight On, USC and Edward!!!

A person who failed to qualify for founding shares of our company, brought a law suit against the founders, claiming he was owed equity. Lee crafted a defense strategy, executed and delivered a bench trial verdict in our favor. He additionally navigated us to a successful outcome on the plaintiff's appeal.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

    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.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:

      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
