My husband and I were considering taking advantage of a franchise opportunity with a California-based franchisor. After visiting one of the established franchise locations in CA, we liked the business model and thought that the service would be well-received in the Cleveland area. We were very close to committing, but wanted a attorney to review the franchise disclosure package. Mr. Dub quickly reviewed the disclosure package and provided a detailed analysis which highlighted a number of things in the agreement which were, "one-sided in needless ways" and which did not, "accommodate the business realities of this new franchisor situation". We shared Mr. Dub's suggested modifications with the franchisor, however there was no room for flexibility with regard to the agreement. In the end, we walked away from this opportunity. While many people could have been successful with the franchise, Mr. Dub helped us to recognize that it was a lot to risk on something that did not fully meet our expectations and requirements. His council was an invaluable investment that undoubtedly saved us a great deal of resources in the long run. He is truly a subject matter expert.

As a real estate investor in the Euclid area I relied on my property managers to ensure the properties were in compliance at all times. Unfortunately there was negligence at the property management company, which lead to the matter being handled by the courts, that could I have impacted me personally as well as my freedoms of movement. The prosecutor was not budging despite explaining my point of view I reached out to Robert based on a Google search I did. Upon explaining my situation, which Robert patiently listened through without being rushed along. Robert gave me the options. I elected to get slate clean. Robert went about it professionally from first contact, communications, document exchange etc was very good. Robert ultimately got the case dismissed which was a really good result and not an easy task with the city of Euclid. Not to forget Patrick, Abby and the team. Super team, super work. I hope I never have to use their services again:) but if I do get into a spot of bother, I know who to call. Fabulous work and recommend them without hesitation

HE didn't put in motions or discovers, and blamed it on the judge saying the judge didn't want him to proceed. I have it in black and white from him..I allowed him on my case when he returned to his office and said it wouldn't cost me anymore also have that in writing. If you want your home saved the passion he might have once had seems to be gone..I had a wrongful foreclosure actually made the pmts..I have sense terminated this attorney and found someone else to represent me.

I hired Attorney Marc Dann in 2012. I also hired him again this year. Why? Because he was very compassionate, he listened and heard my concerns. Marc Dann is a good attorney and has helped a lot of people. He is upfront about his retainer, with Marc Dann, I felt relieved because he and his firm have kept me informed every step of the way. Attorney Marc Dann is a good lawyer and yes I would recommend him.

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.
