In 2005 I found out what dire straits I was in after my divorce. The business I had built with my ex-wife had dissolved and I was left with well over $100,000 in tax debt. I called Elizabeth Fletcher and after she thoroughly researched my records and my tax history, she was able to obtain an offer in compromise for me. I was able to pay off my tax debt in a couple of years rather than decades. I will never be able to express my sincerest gratitude for all that she accomplished in such a professional and expediated manner.

I was having financial issues with creditors, and one had served me with court papers. I hired Elizabeth to assist me. We weighed our options and decided on a bankruptcy. She and her paralegal Karen have been there even during this time of social distancing to guide me and answer my questions. She has had my best interest at heart and has done an excellent job in handling my case.

Erin did a fabulous job of helping secure our purchase of our new home after the seller wanted to back out just before our closing date. She took steps necessary to get us back on the closing track, and saw us through until keys were in our hands. We were, and are still very grateful for her work and effort in our difficult closing situation.

Once I hired Erin as my divorce attorney it took 9 months! (previous attorney could not close the case, took 31 months total). Erin is a passionate and detailed attorney. She analyzed and took time to research all the history in my case. She advised on a plan and was very informative on next steps. She was also upfront with costs. She entered my case 22 months in as if she was the attorney from the beginning. She didn't take any nonsense from the opposing attorney (whom was difficult, slow to respond, caused unnecessary friction). I have already recommended Erin to others.

A good lawyer in getting my case resolved quickly through settlement. I brought in this firm in after another firm, outside of the venue in which I had civil action, took full advantage of making as much as they could in discovery. Thankfully this firm came in with little to do other than show up in court a few times and work out a settlement. I was encouraged from the onset to settle, which I found to be fair and ethical, particularly given how it had been previously handled.. Jim did a stellar job in working it out. I was given a last-minute bill via a crude email without any details, to the sum of five figures in the final hours of our settlement. After numerous requests for an itemized invoice with hours spent, phone calls, emails, etc., I finally received an one, but it was not itemized. While I will never truly know what I paid for (I like knowing exactly where my money goes), altogether the outcome was good and I have no other complaints.

John has been hired to assist with the distribution of a trust and real estate transaction. Is there a "bedside" manner for attorneys? If so John has it. Calm, professional, thorough. Explains complex scenarios so that they are easily understood. Gives broad spectrum of "what ifs" that might come into play. We couldn't be more pleased to have him by our side during a difficult time. We highly recommend John Mannix Jr. and are grateful to have been referred to him.

Mr. Richard DeVall helped me through a difficult divorce. He was caring, friendly, and highly professional. He was easy to reach by phone or by just walking into the office. With over 30 years of experience, he seemed to know divorce law and family law better than most. He did special research for my case, and did an appeal for me, which I won. He was good with communication and he made me feel confident about my case. My first consultation with Mr. Richard DeVall was free and confidential. I was looking for a divorce lawyer whose office is discreet and quiet. Richard DeVall fit the bill. He has since helped my son with traffic tickets. I would go to him again if I needed advice. He practices all kinds of law. I highly recommend him.

He was able to get me exactly what I wanted!! I have the best custody schedule in Clinton County, He was able to make sure that both myself and the baby were protected, they got me a 3 year order of protection against the child's father and were able to get the visitations supervised every other Saturday at Family Connections. I was very happy with the family atmosphere that they provided. Michael made the process so easy for me, all I had to do was provide him with all the facts and with that he was able to get me to what order I have today. The prices are fair and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a good attorney!!!

I gave this firm 5 stars because that was the highest option available, they deserve 10. Theresa and Karen are truly wonderful and go above and beyond for their clients. My family has had multiple stellar experiences with these ladies which is why I chose to deal with them, my personal experiences with them is more than I could have hoped for. While handling the estate of my dad after his unexpected passing, there was so much to do and I had no idea where to start. I wasn't even sure how to become the legal executor to begin handling his affairs, never mind dealing with his portion of my deceased grandmothers estate or his home, vehicles, debts, insurance ect. These incredible ladies took my over whelming feelings of uncertainty and fear and gave me confidence and peace knowing everything was being taken care of. I've called and emailed more times than I can count inquiring about anything and everything and the response is always quick, clear and delivered with a happiness to help. I can't say enough how amazing this firm is to deal with. They don't treat you like you're just another job, they truly care about their clients and that's something that is rare and priceless.

She made me feel comfortable. and cared for. It was very nice. to have someone to communicate with. whom would listen to my concerns. Answer all of my questions. Let me vent when I needed to. Sometimes the divorce you need to met once in a while. Marissa was a good listener. I have had excellent communication with Marissa since she took up my case. I would recommend.

Prompt communication. Very caring and comforting. Flexible communication options. Flexible availability. Made the effort to assist me in all ways I asked. Really took the time to understand what was important to me and provided guidance in line with that. Matched me with a specific attorney that was extremely well suited to all aspects of my situation, and although that's what matters, I think they also matched me with an attorney that suited me socially / energy wise, if that makes sense. Extremely professional and also made efforts to not waste resources (save me money). I called about 20 law offices, they actually called me back, took me seriously, and made the effort to stay in touch and provide updates every step of the way. Would recommend and use again. L* and K*, thank you so much for taking the time to help me.

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.
