I can't express how grateful I am for Mr. Boris! After receiving a reckless driving pink summons, I felt scared and worried about the consequences. I reached out to several attorneys, but none of the money-driven firms gave me the confidence that Mr. Boris did. From our very first phone call, I felt like I was speaking to a friend who genuinely cared. His attentive listening and commitment to fighting for my best interests made all the difference. He took the time to explain the entire process and answered all my questions, which eased my anxiety significantly. Thanks to his professionalism and dedication, I received a dismissal of my case today, just five days before my court date. I couldn't be more grateful! I highly recommend Mr. Boris to anyone facing legal issues. He’s reliable, affordable, and truly the attorney you want on your side!

I was referred to Darmin Bachu by a co-worker when my husband was charged with assault. Darmin Bachu immediately returned my call and made an appointment for us to come in and meet even though it was on a Saturday morning. He listened first and then spoke in a clear and concise manner. We didn't have to think twice about hiring him tobrepresent my husband who was eventually cleared of all charges. To this day, I highly recommend attorney Darmin Bachu to all my friends and family.

My son got into trouble and I didn't know where to turn. My cousin recommended Bachu & Associates. Mr. Darmin Bachu stayed late in the office to wait for my shift to end. He allowed me to speak without interruption and then calmly explained the procedure to me. At this point I knew what I needed to do and what I shouldn't do. Since this was a high profile case he was able to contain the press and keep my son's name out of the papers. At the end I have to thank Mr. Bachu for his expertise and not overbilling as many attorneys are so good at.

I hire Mr. Ramos in 2009 to file my divorce. This is an uncontested divorce. I am still waiting to this date for him to complete the job (08/02/2011). I have tried calling him, he does not pick up nor does he return your calls. I file many complaints to the Bar Association, still to this date nothing was done to this attorney as he is still allowed to practice, taking clients money and not doing what he is paid to do. I have left thousands of messages none has he return. I have been to his office and met many unhappy clients there who says the same thing about him...does not return your calls, takes fee and does nothing, dont expect correspondence from him, you literally have to sit outside his office and stake him out. I am writing this review to make people know the kind of lawyer this man is...NO GOOD!!!!

Mr. Ramos is so irresponsible that I have to call and leave angry messages (after several normal "call me back" messages). He promises to do everything yet I end up doing what he said he was going to do like make phone calls he was supposed to make among other things. The man doesn't even have a secretary so when I finally do get in contact with him he doesn't know anything because he "doesn't have my folder with him" and that he will call me from his office. But he's never in his office! He gives me an appointment to meet him there but he never shows!! I try to just show up and catch him there but surprise surprise he is never there! I can keep on and on but why bother?! So i really DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LAWYER!

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.
