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 loved the idea of having this outside of your office for the people in need of it and also for all out there that are in need to have a hat or scarf to stay warm for the cold winter days coming.

**Excellent Traffic Lawyer – Highly Recommended!** I recently hired Joe to handle a traffic case, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the start, Joe was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and transparent about the process. He took the time to explain all of my options in detail, answered all of my questions, and provided realistic expectations. Joe's expertise in traffic law was evident throughout the case. He communicated with me regularly, ensuring I was informed at every step. Thanks to his hard work and attention to detail, we achieved a favorable outcome that I’m very happy with. If you’re in need of a traffic lawyer, I highly recommend Joe. His dedication to his clients and skill in handling cases sets him apart. You can trust him to deliver excellent results!

Great experience and excellent outcome; I would highly recommend this firm. I hired John Harwick following a bike accident in which I sustained multiple injuries. John was flexible and extremely responsive – responding to my texts and making himself available for phone calls on weekends and late into the evening. In addition, John was supported by top-notch paralegal, Stephanie who took care of many details. John clearly described the process, my options and the possible outcomes every step of the way. I felt confident that I was in good hands with John and his team. John handled my case expertly and obtained a great result. He was professional and patient and clearly well respected in the local legal/medical community. I cannot thank John enough for his effort and kindness throughout the process, and for the excellent outcome.

There are no words that can adequately describe how grateful I am for Opal’s help with my case. She advocates for her clients and shows them such kindness. If I could rate her higher than five stars I would. I would recommend that anyone who needs an attorney to retain Opal immediately. She ensured that with my child support case that I was actually given credit for what I provided for my child. Even when they were not trying to give me credit. I wish I had retained her earlier. I am eternally grateful that my coworker gave me her information, and that Opal helped me.

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

      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:

      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.
