Jim Penney has successfully assisted with multiple unfortunate civil issues encountered here in Southeastern Arizona. In a government position, a female co-worker made bogus accusations that she had been sexually harassed. When it came time for the deposition, she suddenly had a severe case of amnesia and in fact became quite angry when Jim caught her in her insatiable scenario of lies. At a retail store, a female manager kept using unwelcomed words of endearment such as “hon, daring, sweetie…” when we were not dating. After multiple requests to stop such conduct, termination was the ultimate punishment. Jim was able to obtain a “Right to Sue Letter” from the E.E.O.C. An H.O.A. President felt it was OK for females to enter the Men’s shower facility unannounced. An effective but diplomatic warning from Jim took care of that problem. Another employer felt it was appropriate to terminate an employee for reporting serious health and safety issues on the job site in addition to known sex offenders hanging out in the children’s area. His representation earned an unemployment insurance claim. Jim has been a straight shooter when it comes to a projected case outcome and finances. He returns the majority of phone calls within 24 hours. Thus he has truly earned “The Best Civil Attorney in Southeast Arizona”

My experience with Mr. Penny begin about 10 years ago when he was selected as someone to help me during an injury. He successfully provided an opportunity for a fair settlement due to that injury. My experiences with him provided his expertise and assistance at a very emotional time. He went on to provide other necessary services and information as needed in the past 10 years. Always professional, friendly and helpful. He is highly recommended by me and my husband.

My son and I were in a terrible 3-car accident in Tucson. I went to Hollingsworth Kelly Law Firm and they really came through for us. The staff is professional and experienced. I was pleased with our settlements and that they were able to reduce our hospital liens. Hollingsworth Kelly also set-up a conservatorship for my son. I whole-heartedly recommend the attorneys at Hollingsworth Kelly.

After my car accident, I experienced pain that kept me from performing even easy everyday activities. I was fortunate to find an outstanding attorney, Louis Hollingsworth, to represent me in my case. Louis and his staff took care of all the details related to my case--they dealt with the insurance company, resolved my medical liens, and were always available to answer my questions. I was very pleased with my settlement and with the professional and caring way I was treated by the Hollingsworth Kelly Law Firm.

Mr. Gattone and his staff are caring about the issues that affect the our population today. What most people do not realize is that the issues he goes to court for affect the rest of us. When a lawsuit comes it puts everyone on notice that the behavior won't be tolerated and the other people involved do not sleep so well. Change happens with a lawyer willing to fight for what is right these lawsuits can then be used in other cases. This is how the fight for justice marches on. This is what this office is about.

I recently used the services of Michael B. Halladay for a pre-marriage contract. Mr. Halladay was outstanding in every sense of the meaning! He was very knowledgeable about the issues of such a contract, knew the various laws that are unique to an Arizona marriage, and he took the time to completely, and in a down-to-earth manner, explain the details of how the contract should be written ... and why. I would not hesitate, at all, to recommend the services of Mr. Halladay for any probate, personal, business or family legal issues. He was simply outstanding!

Maricela handled my case very well. She expressed she cared and was always well prepared. I was extremely happy with the outcome of our court hearings and she pursued my requests despite our differences in opinion. I was delighted with the outcome of her approach and was motivated by her boldness in court. My ex-spouse seemed to back out of a continuance that was scheduled part due to Maricela's performance. He was quite adamant about having his way at the beginning, but later Maricela's persistence helped push him to come to an agreement. I was very well pleased with Maricela and how she presents herself before the Judge and how she uses good judgment in her approach. I have to say although I'm happy it's all over and I won't be going through more heartache in court with my ex-spouse, I'll really miss her! Rest assured that Maricela will address your concerns! I felt she was reasonable in her billing and fair minded in her approach. At the end of it all, I loved having her by my side!

Family Law issues are probably one of the hardest situations to deal with, especially when your children are involved. Ms. Meza was recommended to me by another attorney, and I could not have been happier with her services. She specializes solely in Family Law matters, so you are getting a true expert in the field...not someone who dabbles in it. She is very knowledgeable, intelligent, and passionate about what she does. She will give you a very fair assessment about what she thinks the potential outcome of your case will be. You can feel confident going in to a courtroom with her representing you. If you are looking for a fair, ethical, intelligent, articulate, and exceptional attorney you will not go wrong selecting Ms. Meza.

I consulted with Mr Hopkins, in an effort to figure out the options I had, to help my troubled nephew. Cedric took my situation to heart, going out of his way to be sure I completely understood mine and my nephews rights, during this tragic time in our lives. I am proud to share with you, that because of his knowledge of the justice system, as well as personal attention to my nephew's legal and personal well being, I was able to get my nephew the legal help he needed and into a narcotics rehab program. I know this would not have been possible if Cedric had not advised me, in regards to proceedings and handling of such a sensitive and tragic situation.

From the minute I stepped into his office he was very kind straight forward and very professional. I could tell that he wanted to help me in any way that he could. When the process got started he was on it 100%. He always kept in touch explaining every little thing every step of the way. I was very pleased with the ending result.

Calm, consistent, and receptive to facts and insight even late in the process. A deceptively low key demeanor in court allows Goncalves to position his questions and evidence where they do the most for a client. A study in "less is more" in cross combined with a sense of wonder about facts conveyed to the jury at closing makes Walter perhaps one of the most lethal trial lawyers currently working in Pima county if not the south west today. This tremendous trial capability is built on a stoic foundation and no-nonsense pre-trial preparation regimen that informs his client and constantly reassesses the facts and discovery as the client becomes more "legal literate". Under Goncalves's guidance, the client becomes empowered, learning to consider and contribute facts in a rational constructive manner and move beyond the early panic of arraignment. Quite simply the best defense lawyer in Tucson that money could buy, if he wasn't working for the public defenders office. The Pima county DA's office can only hope and pray that someone in the private sector will eventually headhunt Goncalves, until then they will continue to lose cases when Goncalves is retained for some broke defendant like myself. Acquittal, life and family saved.

We hired Mr. McFadden for a child court case. We reside out of state, so finding an attorney to represent us was initially very difficult. The first time I spoke with Mr. McFadden, I knew he was the attorney for us. He was always very responsive and readily available to talk to. He helped ease our anxiety and concern and knew the law extremely well. He was knowledgeable and fought hard for us. He made suggestions and helped us understand Arizona law. He was wonderful in court and we are so very happy with the outcome. We now have much more parenting time with our children and the other parent is now more cooperative. We have Mr. McFadden and the judge to thank for that. If we need a lawyer in Arizona in the future, we will definitely be going back to Mr. McFadden. He can be very blunt at times, but in my opinion, that was what was needed. He holds nothing back and is aggressive in the courtroom. He is exactly what we needed.

Renee has facilitated the best interest for me in an ongoing case that cannot specifically be discussed. He is very focused, direct, and effective. The terrain of my case is treacherous and complicated, facing many pieces of evidence based off of preponderance and hearsay. He's avidly spoken out against the speculation and here say that is pitted against me. His approach has been concise and direct. I have enjoyed him as my attorney foresee reasons and foresee success in clearing all of the slanderous allegations. His expert advice and direction in the case is helping to turn things around in many ways. I potentially damaged my own case with a very defensive stance and allegations against those that would support the hearsay it against me. This Council has been invaluable. Thank you, Renee.

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.

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.
