Where do I start? When I contacted Ryann, I called him to take my case against a former employer, this was due to a work injury and Worker’s Compensation dispute. Since day one, Ryann was always, kind, and understanding to my situation. He was very clear, and informative and kept me up-to-date on my case, and how it was progressing. Throughout my case just like any other case, I’m sure there was a lot of ups and downs, but no matter how hard the case got Ryann never gave up on fighting to make sure I won my case. I can gladly say that after 2.5 years of fighting tooth and nail with the defense attorney, Ryann WON my case. If anyone knew how hard this case was, you would understand that this WIN was not easy at all. I can’t express enough, to how good of a job Ryann did and how much a FIGHTER Ryann is!! So DO NOT make a mistake by going somewhere else, contact Ryann to HELP YOU!! you won’t regret it!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RYANN!!

We were referred to Ryann Embury by a few people in our community and we are so glad. He went above and beyond to help us. We were impressed with not only his knowledge and expertise but also his caring and thoughtful manner. He genuinely cared about our situation, and it showed through the handling of our case. We will be using Ryann for any of our legal needs in the future and will be referring him to all of our family and friends. If you are looking for a good attorney, I would highly recommend Ryann.

Ed is a common sense business lawyer with impeccably good judgment. Based on my experience with him, any person buying or selling a home should consult with Ed prior to listing or signing on with an agent. I sold my home with a fantastic listing agent, but the experience was still extremely stressful and I felt a listing agent was necessary because I was unfamiliar with the transaction. As nice as my agent was there was always the uneasiness of knowing his interests were not always in line with mine -- it's just the nature of the beast. When it came time for me to buy a new home I spoke with Ed first. I learned from Ed that working through an agent was not always necessary and that engaging a homeowner about selling prior to listing with the help of a lawyer like Ed is the most prudent homebuying strategy. Ed and the title company he works with were able to handle all the technical/legal aspects of the deal and answered all the questions that I would have ordinarily directed to my agent. The eventual deal I made was better for both the buyers and sellers; it was a win-win deal because neither party had to endure the work and stress of the open market, and the ultimate sale price netted the seller more money and had us paying less. By paying a flat fee Ed's duties as a lawyer were owed entirely to me and were not influenced by other factors. Also, Ed's expertise goes way beyond for-sale-by-owner transactions. Anyone doing real property or commercial transactions should consider retaining Ed and give him a call.

In 2019 I sold an investment property to my long time tenant. While I had a built in buyer, it was still a very complicated situation for a variety of reasons. Ed negotiated the sale and handled everything for me, and he made a difficult situation much, much better. He handled everything remotely, including signatures -- we never had to meet in the office -- he was extremely responsive and reassuring the whole way -- and most importantly, I saved thousands of dollars by not using a realtor. I continue to work with Ed whenever I need an attorney -- I would highly recommend him.

My husband and I sold our house "by owner" and it could not have been an easier process! Everything was done virtually and we saved thousands of dollars by not having a realtor. All paperwork was signed electronically so we did not have to take time off work. Everyone was very responsive to our questions and helped us understand the process. I can't say enough good things! -Brittany Schrock

Kristyn is an absolute rock star!!!!! She handled my divorce as well as a child/family matter. My divorce was tricky as there was a child involved that was not my child and Michigan state law says I would be held accountable as the father. In my divorce hearing the judge complemented her on how well she structured my case and explained that any other way of doing it likely would have been denied. In my family situation, she was so well prepared; I was truly impressed. My file was three times as thick as the other side of the isle, and before the hearing she was rehearsing her opening statements. This made me feel like I was in the hands of a true professional and someone who cares. After getting to know her a little bit through all of this, I can whole heartedly tell you that she does care and will stand up for you in the most honorable way! She gets my 5-star vote, and undoubtedly if a situation arises that I need her expertise in the future I will be calling her!

When you are going through something so difficult, you are desperately looking for someone that helps ease your mind, spirit and soul like a true friend would. Elena, Amanda and the entire Wilson Kester team feel like family. Family that will fight for you and what is best for your future. Your new chapter in life! I could be full of anxiety, depression and fear walking in but never once felt that way walking out the door. I am so grateful that of all attorneys I was guided to Elena and from the first moment we spoke I knew without a doubt that I had made the best decision! Thank you all so very much!!!

Unfortunately, I had to utilize their services again after my divorce to settle a dispute about personal property. Fortunately, Matt Motley is a great attorney and really provided sound guidance. It was a very difficult and unexpected situation that Matt directly took care of and it ended up being settled all most exatly the way that Matt predicted would be the probable outcome. Matt Motley and Lorraine Smith both are great professionals and I'm glad I chose Wilson Kester as my attorney during and I'm this case, after my divorce.

I hired John Scheuerle of Newmann Law Group to assist my son with a legal issue. John was extremely knowledgeable and professional. As a former prosecutor, he was instrumental in helping my son navigate a sound defense that paved the way to a much better outcome than was initially anticipated. I would highly recommend John and the entire staff at Newmann Law Group.

Entering into a high conflict divorce was stressful to say the least. I googled ‘best divorce attorney in Michigan’ and this firm was closest to me. Eric and his team were compassionate, professional, and hands down the best! Google was not wrong, they are an amazing team!

Very unfriendly staff, asking for a consult and she (Molly) hung up on me because I did not want to answer personal questions without a confidentiality contract after agreeing to a $250/ hour consultation fee.

We worked with Morgan Shier on a complex international adoption case, and the expertise and guidance she provided allowed us to seek the exact solution we wanted. Our case was difficult as it involved a delicate navigation of US citizenship requirements, international adoption criteria, and Jamaican and US family-law knowledge. She provided quick and expert opinion that allowed us to take care of a child in need as soon as feasibly possible. Morgan is awesome, and we highly recommend her and the Eric Phelps law firm for your adoption/family law needs. The Oliviers.

Jonathan Hagy was amazing with putting our family’s estate planning documents together in a short time frame and for a great price. I used to work for an estate planning lawyer in another state, so I have a rough idea what I’m looking at, and the documents he put together for us were top notch, and very clearly spelled out everything. I also called virtually every other lawyer in Traverse City, and his prices were far more reasonable than what some of the other lawyers wanted. He was very helpful with explaining the whole process and suggesting what to do for our situation. Highly recommend! Thank you Jon!

After doing a fair amount of research, I chose Laura Liberty to set up a trust for my husband and me. There were quite a few glowing online reviews for her, and I am very happy to say that we had an outstanding experience with Ms. Liberty. I suppose that most trusts have some kind of complication to them, and ours was no exception. We own property in two states, we don't always live together, we've got the usual pension and retirement funds, my brothers and I share a summer cabin that is held in an LLC, and we have a family comprising children from two marriages. Laura didn't bat an eye. She gave me a list of the documents that were needed, and once I rounded them up and supplied them, she got down to work and drew up our trust. I had a million questions, since this was my first experience with a trust, and Laura very patiently answered every one of them. Sometimes twice, because financial things often confuse me. What a competent, pleasant person! And then, after everything was all set up and she had moved my condo into the trust, I encountered a banking issue which required me to temporarily move the condo out of the trust. I panicked at the thought of trying to do this, but then realized I just needed to call Laura! I did that, she squeezed me in for a consult on the same day, smoothed me over, calmed me down, and efficiently handled my problem for me. It is impossible to overstate what a great trust attorney she is! Don't hesitate; call Laura Liberty!

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.
