Andrew was a complete pleasure to work with, and took on my case quickly and professionally. He communicated all steps of the process to me in a timely fashion and made sure to check in with me along the way as needed. I never questioned that I was not in good hands and things were worked out easily. I felt comfortable asking any questions I had along the way, and was never made to feel dumb for not knowing certain things. Both Andrew and his paralegal were extremely helpful and professional throughout, and I would absolutely use Jones Law Office again for any legal needs.

Legal issues can be very intimidating for those of us who didn't attend law school but Andrew explained everything to me in a way which was understandable but not patronizing. His knowledge of the law, quick response time and genuine care for me as a client were comforting and the outcome of the case was better than I could have hoped for. I will use Andrew for any future legal needs!

I am both a client and a colleague of Chris'. I have referred him to numerous clients from my financial planning business and they have all had nothing, but good things to say about their experiences - even the few who decided not to go through their Estate Planning with Chris. I take my business very seriously and I am very careful with who I send my clients to; Chris is reliable, professional, and thorough in his approach, so I am always confident in referring him. Finally, I am also a client of Chris! He has walked me and my wife through our Estate Planning and we both feel so much better about our future. Even though we are young, Chris crafted an Estate Plan that fits our needs and one that will grow with us through his constant attention to it and through our regular meetings. I am so happy to have Chris as my Estate Planning Attorney, both as someone I can refer and someone I can count on if something were to happen to me.

Chris has been wonderful in helping my husband and I plan for our future. We are a very young family, and some of the topics we have discussed are things that my husband and I hadn't really thought about, but are very important to consider. Chris has been very informative and educational, especially since this is the first time we are learning about some of the legal documents and terms. I feel much more confident knowing that our medical care, kids, and finances will be taken care of according to our wishes should the worst happen to my husband or me.

Even though my wife and I had a will, our life had seen many changes since the last will was prepared, agreed upon and signed. Since then we had started our own business, our children had grown up and left the nest plus grandchildren now had entered into the picture. She thoughtfully took us through several scenarios concerning the business, family, potential divorce situations, existing and future grandchildren, adopted, future children should our unmarried son marry someone already with children....adopted or not adopted. Did we need a trust.... was explored. Scenarios we had not thought of were explored with Janet's keen guidance. Most importantly, although I knew Janet through our mutual group for the last 4 years, my wife, who had never met Janet, was very pleased with her and came away confident that when the will was executed it would be consistent with our desires. I strongly recommend Janet. She is a pleasant, professional, thorough and competent lawyer.

I hired Ms Homann to help me negotiate and remove myself from a corporate structure and real estate LLC. The contra side of this transaction were challenging to work with. I just wanted out. Jackie was able to both work with the other side as well well as walk me through different parts of the many parts of the transaction. She was also able to make sure that I got the correct indemnifications and releases while simultaneously not giving too much on my side (in interest of just GETTING OUT). She was also very helpful in explaining the 'legal-eze'. I appreciated her candor and ease of speaking with and 'hand-holding' when parts got stressful. I will definitely be keeping her number close for further advice/transactions in the state. If you want to get more granular feel free to contact Jackie and if it makes sense she will pass along my contact info.

I worked with Brian on the acquisition of our company by an overseas company. The negotiation on the sale/purchase agreement was fairly drawn out, and Brian gave excellent advice to us on the details of the agreement to make sure the deal ended up being favorable for us. Brian has also advised us on many other matters including employee and contractor agreements, compliance with securities laws, supplier agreements, basically on all legal matters that most companies face. We found Brian's legal advice to be well-thought out and pragmatic. We also really appreciate that he writes contracts in a more practical way than most attorneys, using more straight-forward language and structuring rather than traditional legal jargon.

It is my honor and privilege to recommend Michael P. Misch Attorney at Law for your legal issues. Two years ago I retained Mr. Michael Misch regarding an American Disabilities violation issue. I remember my first interview with him as if it was yesterday. Mr. Misch presented himself in a very professional manner and yet you could tell he was empathetic and interested in my case. He sat and listened to my story without interruption. I myself believe this was probably difficult to do as it was an exhaustive story. However he did so with patience and did not make any judgments against me or make me feel as if I had done something wrong. It was then that I knew he was the right attorney for me. During our second meeting, Mr. Misch could repeat the entire legal issues. Defendants and witnesses regarding my case without looking at any notes. I was very impressed. I found Michael Misch, Attorney to be ethical, knowledgeable and brilliant regarding the law and his application of the laws that are in place to protect people from those who choose the law to hurt and harm others. Mr. Misch met with me and set a course of action for the remedy of my complaint. Michael Misch never gave ne false expectations, he was always truthful and forthright in our plan for resolution. I found that if I had a question, no matter how trivial it was Mike Misch or one of his excellent staff members would get back with me. Mike Misch, Attorney practices due diligence in every aspect of his work. I know from personal experience, having worked with the criminal system for almost 24 years that hiring an attorney can be a difficult decision and choice. After 24 years of working criminal justice I had my doubts about pursuing any legal action. I had lost faith in the judicial system. However, after I met Mr. Misch and we worked on my case, that all changed for me. As I now know that you cannot judge everyone by a few that taint the profession. When my case was resolved, I walked way not only with a resolution to my case, but a new found faith in the judicial system, and Mr. Misch showed me that I could trust in our legal system again. Mr. Michael P. Misch governs his practice with a nonjudgmental attitude and with reason. Michael is a class act and proves to be so in his practice of the law. This is important. whet it comes to having the right attorney, & Michael P. Misch is the RIGHT Attorney.

Mr. Phillipoff was amazing. An apartment complex falsely claimed I signed a lease and broke it, so I was in desperate need of getting out of a $7,000 bill that was wrongfully put on my lap! I had dealt with another attorney for a couple of months who told me to just settle and pay half to get out of it even though I had more than enough evidence to prove it was not my signature and work time stamps proving I couldn't have been there at signing. I then sought out Mr. Phillipoff and in just two weeks from meeting him the issue was resolved and I was released from this false claim! Very happy in giving my money to him versus a fraudulent company. He was efficient, professional, and communicated clearly and concisely.

I've worked with Tim many times over the last several years, after I switched my business's legal accounts to his law firm. He's the most responsive lawyer I've ever worked with and he always gives us rock solid legal advice. He took about 6 months visiting with my management team and learning our operations (but didn't charge us for any of that!)--in order to get up to speed and learn our business, so that he could better advise us on legal issues. That really impressed me. I work with many, many lawyers and Tim is at the top of my referral list.

I met with a few other attorneys before Mark but they just didn't feel right... I was very nervous and embarrassed to file bankruptcy. Mark Telloyan and Eva made me feel some comfortable, answered all my questions, and made the process very easy! I highly recommend him and his team for your bankruptcy needs.

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.
