Jim did a fantastic job on my traffic tickets. I originally appeared in court with a different attorney that wasn't getting offers from the DA that I found acceptable. I hired Jim, and he took care of it in one appearance. As I write this I am in the process hiring Jim for a Divorce and also a civil lawsuit.

I can’t say enough good things about Cory Dalmata. He’s helped me on countless situations pertaining to my son and custody & a couple of other matters as well. Everything he has advised me on he was always 100% spot on . Cory is a straight shooter and will tell you exactly how it is. He’s very fast to respond to phone calls & emails. He’s always been quick to get things done and will fight tooth and nail for his clients . One of the many things that I respect about Cory is he will always talk of the importance of co-parenting and when possible court should be a last resort. Great attorney great human being! Will use Cory and his firm for any legal matters that I may have in the future . Thank you again Cory for everything Alex

Katelyn is extremely lackadaisical and does not fight for what you are entitled to. In fact, she sides with the opposing side and wants you to settle the case without fighting for what you are entitled to. Honestly, I know more about the law than she does and caught many costly mistakes that she made. Do not hire her on any account. I believe she failed the BAR more times than JFK, jr!

She had my family court case and she didn't represent me she let the other party throw me under the bus she didn't speak up for me in court at all the case is a mess because of her she even lied and said she filed some petitions for me so I checked with the courts to see if the petitions. Was filed the court told me no petitions was filed it was all a lie she avoided me Everytime I call her or text her and when she call me back she says she was busy with a client or something else just a whole bunch of excuses I would not recommend her to anyone I know not a good lawyer but a good liar. I fired her got a new lawyer.she is very unprofessional she lied to me the whole time she was assigned to my case always on the other party side.she took her time fileing petitions or just didn't do it at all and the other party attack my daughter while the case was still on the calendar she didn't do anything about it but lie and said she filed the papers and when she got questioned about it she try to convince the courts she did file which was I lie.shame on her I would not recommend her to anyone.

I could not have asked for a better lawyer. She won me custody of my children & acquired a favorable outcome for my criminal case. Her rates are beyond fair & she guided me in a multi-faceted manner through the toughest times (plural) of my life. She made me feel comforted, supported & confident about the entire process; Opal will be my first call whenever the word “court” is mentioned (Sorry Opal)!

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.
