My case was a very confusing and difficult case to accept, and most lawyers would have turned me away. Mr. Harwick accepted my case and handled it amazingly. Throughout the process he kept me informed, updated and always returned calls and messages fast and was knowledgeable in my case and in the rare instance he didn't have an answer, one was found in no time. My case concluded in mediation and I couldn't be happier how he handled things. I highly recommend him and the people that work in his office, as they were just as nice and friendly. Thank you Mr. Harwick.

Matthew was recommended to me from another lawyer when I was issued a speeding and traffic control device ticket that I found unjustified. The original charges would have totaled 8 points on my license. We discussed my options and he answered all of my questions clearly. He was able to give great advice about NY driving laws and courses I could take to maybe make the outcome better. He handled everything with the court and even got the tickets reduced to the best possible outcome of 0 points on my license after. He was super professional the entire time and broke everything thing down so fluently. His explanations made everything so much easier to understand. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

She was very knowledgeable of my situation and answered all my questions before I had time to ask them. She was always on time and prepared. Best of all she wasn't cocky, and looked at me as an equal not someone beneath her. I've dealt with some "Diva" lawyers in the past and she was not one she was a breath of fresh air!!!!

I've had a few different lawyers over the past 5 years, and by far Raysheea was the best. She was like an angel in my corner. She was always on top of things and made sure to contact me and kept me informed. She fought to make sure everything worked out best for my daughter and myself. She is not just any lawyer, she really cares. I can't thank her enough. I would highly recommend her, and because of her everything worked out for the best. She is truly a blessing

Raysheea was our attorney for the home my wife and I just purchased. She was very professional and attentive to all our needs in the process. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was correct and to our liking. She consistently communicated with the sellers agent and attorney to make sure they were properly filing their paperwork as well. Raysheea walked us through everything step by step and explained everything so we understand what we were signing. I highly recommend her for your legal needs.

I wasn’t supposed to have a public defender, I even called and was told no, but for some reason Raysheea was assigned to me and thank God she was! She’s professional, tells it like it is, fights for what her clients want and what’s right and goes the extra mile to make her clients feel heard and gives her undivided attention, despite what I’m sure is a huge workload. I can’t imagine my continued legal battles without her and hope I don’t have to.

Christiaan van Niekerk, is not only an excellent attorney, but an excellent human being. My wife and I, had quite a bit of debt, that had been growing, since my heart attack, a few years ago. The only option, that we had, was to use credit cards, which grew, pretty substantially. We thought that we wanted to pay back everything, and got into an agreement, with A debt relief company, paying them $849. a month, but instead helping, it just made matters worth, but when we found Christiaan van Niekerk, he eliminated, every credit card debt, that we had. We were treated fair, and with respect, from Christiaan van Niekerk. More than just a good person. And the price was right too.

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.
