Jason Abrams took my retainer and then refused to speak with me for more than a year. In my opinion, I don’t see how this isn’t stealing. And the craziest part, he was referred by a good friend of mine that lives in his town. If this is how he treats friends, ask yourself how he might treat you. Stay far far away. Unbelievable that he still has a bar license.

It's my pleasure to submit a positive review for attorney Dan Murphy. Dan brings integrity to his profession, something I suspect he demonstrates in his personal life as well. During my 13 month divorce, he continually coached me on the value of restraint, always concerned with how any action might be perceived should we head to trial. His patience, coupled with his relentless attention to detail, resulted in a positive outcome when my divorce turned from amicable to litigious. Dan successfully reduced my now ex-wife's settlement demand by 85%. Her lawyer tried an aggressive approach that Dan's experience and coolheadedness was able to navigate and resolve using the facts of our case. While I am grateful to settling only weeks before our trial, part of me wishes I could have seen Dan litigate -- his tenacity and willingness to fight on my behalf was a preview I got to glimpse during deposition. Thank you, Dan.

Dori-Ellen is great! In our pre-trial meetings I always felt understood and left with clarity about my position and the legal process. In the courtroom Dori-Ellen is total bad ass. She carries her self with confidence, communicates effectively, and uses her experience and knowledge of the legal system to get results. I have already recommended her to people in my life who need a family lawyer.

Irina has successfully helped me and my family with removing conditions on our green card. Irina and her team have prepared an extensive documentation package and filed it right on time. It was prepared so well we even had our interview waived when it was reviewed. She helped us understanding many most critical aspects of our specific immigration route and supported us every step of the way providing guidance when needed and was available for consultation both on the phone and in the emails. Whenever her office received a document from USCIS it was forwarded to us promptly with an explanation of its meaning. I highly recommend most excellent immigration services of Irina and her office to anyone being serious about achieving their immigration goals - you will absolutely have a great experience and results!

I tripped and fell and hurt myself on an uneven driveway.   I hurt my knee, wrist, nose and had abrasions on my face.  I was bleeding heavily.   I tried to contact the building’s owner’s insurance to make a claim but got nowhere.  I was referred to Attorney Kevin Hoffkins by another attorney.  He put together all of my medical records and bills and put together a demand for the insurance company.   He got a very good very good settlement that I am very happy with.  He is a great attorney.

We were hit with a situation that we had no idea how to handle. Justin was recommended to us and he was phenomenal. He called us back quickly, was a great listener and gave us very thoughtful responses. Justin proceeded to do a lot of research, and concluded that another attorney, with experience in our case, was better suited to help us. He was right – the attorney he found for us was exactly who we needed. Justin was professional, compassionate, thorough and beyond helpful. We are so impressed with Justin and highly recommend him.

If I could offer 10 stars, I would. Trustworthy, responsive, ethical, considerate, fair, real, honest, reassuring, committed, gritty, and a perfectionist to the very degree you need him to be is how to describe Eric Bernheim at FLB. But most of all.. overwhelming dedicated and intelligent. We were able to win a highly complicated, intense, and non-favoring case (involving residential property rights x easement x utility company x conservation) because of his unwavering focus and exquisite strategy. Eric came highly recommended to me from the Brody Wilkerson group and I’m grateful for their referral as I know we could not have won the case if anyone else but Eric represented my family and I. I’m grateful to every last end for his help and recommendations along the way which ended in a win. Google Eric Bernheim and you will find him to be one of the best. Here’s a quote of his I found online of his that I can verify first-hand to be true as one his clients…. “My primary motivation is to ease the burdens of my clients and help them to be successful in whatever they are pursuing. It’s my job to minimize their risk so they can maximize their potential. By providing sound legal counsel in an atmosphere that promotes collaboration, I put them at ease so they can address the other priorities in their businesses and lives. My goal is to always try to provide them peace of mind when it comes to their legal challenges.” Highly recommend.

It’s my job to minimize their risk so they can maximize their potential. By providing sound legal counsel in an atmosphere that promotes collaboration, I put them at ease so they can address the other priorities in their businesses and lives. My goal is to always try to provide them peace of mind when it comes to their legal challenges.” Highly recommend.

It's my pleasure to submit a positive review for attorney Dan Murphy. Dan brings integrity to his profession, something I suspect he demonstrates in his personal life as well. During my 13 month divorce, he continually coached me on the value of restraint, always concerned with how any action might be perceived should we head to trial. His patience, coupled with his relentless attention to detail, resulted in a positive outcome when my divorce turned from amicable to litigious. Dan successfully reduced my now ex-wife's settlement demand by 85%. Her lawyer tried an aggressive approach that Dan's experience and coolheadedness was able to navigate and resolve using the facts of our case. While I am grateful to settling only weeks before our trial, part of me wishes I could have seen Dan litigate -- his tenacity and willingness to fight on my behalf was a preview I got to glimpse during deposition. Thank you, Dan.

Dan Murphy is an incredible lawyer. He is well organized, extremely intelligent, and a wonderful communicator. His ability to add a human touch to a challenging situation is admirable. He made me feel safe and I trusted him throughout the entire process, knowing that he always treated me like I was his only case despite having many other obligations.

Going through a divorce is stressful enough. Do not bring this man into your life unless you're looking to make it more stressful, and lose all your money while you're at it. Towards the end of the literal YEARS I was stuck with Dan (got too far in and couldn't afford starting over with another retainer somewhere else), I really started to believe Dan was a malicious person. As some years have passed and I have more perspective on it now, I see he is someone who is simply just lazy and in it for the $$. To pay this man $500/hour is both sickening and laughable when I think about what he actually did during that time. A whole lot of nothing. He is arrogant, overpriced, and just a lazy man. There's plenty of decent overpriced lawyers on the Gold Coast. Go find one, because Dan Murphy isn't it.

I have known Tom for a few years. When I decided to put together a Trust I looked him up and saw that his focus is Estates and Trusts...I called him and he spent over 30 mins. asking me questions and advising me. i did my own research online and decided he was the one that could help me. He was courteous, kind, understanding, and most of all thorough and well versed. He built my Trust and Living Will etc., I highly recommend Tom Drew.

My experience with Attorney Drew was extremely positive. I found Mr. Drew to be very responsive, professional, and reasonable in terms of expenses. My mother's estate turned out to be much more complicated than we expected, and the CT Department of Social Services was unusually thorough and sometimes difficult to deal with, but with Mr. Drew's assistance, we reached a very positive outcome. His assistance was invaluable and he did a great job in advocating the interests of my mom.

I’m an unsatisfied client of Tom Drew who I hired for Estate Planning. He didn’t invest the time or have patience to properly educate us about his estate plans and was intolerant to accommodate and address our concerns. His estate plan could have been better formatted with articles headings, an index, more definitions and key words notations to easily reference subjects and to facilitate comprehension. We couldn't go forward with the estate plans he submitted. The relationship was terminated and not in a pleasant manner. We lost our $2,215 advance.

He was ok. Recommended through a family member. Professional, yet reserved. However, I can't really feel genuinely grateful toward him after learning a year later that he initially didn't want to take my case, as if my case was "beneath" his stature. In retrospect, he didn't really fight for me as much as I would have wanted. Still never received justice for someone vandalizing my car or the supposed victims harassing me back then. He did just enough to tolerate my case.

My family and I can’t say enough great things about Attorney Bamonte. We have had multiple interactions with him working through a few land use, zoning and land appraisal issues. In addition to having a deep understanding of town regulations and process, he has a keen ability to quickly understandthe facts that are most relevant to your circumstance. It was a stressful time dealing with these land use matters, but we took comfort knowing that Nick’s attention to detail and dedication to our case would ultimately result in a positive legal outcome, which it did! Nick is a great listener and was thoughtful, diligent and pragmatic on how to approach the legal issues and town interactions. My family and I highly recommend Attorney Bamonte for any of your land use or zoning needs!

Livia is smart and she came recommended a while back. I sense over time that her business has shifted or slowed down for whatever reason (definitely does not have as many clients as before) since changing firms. She's gotten so aggressive with her approach to cases, and it also trickles down to insane amounts of billing. Nothing is focused on resolving issues, only on litigating and finding excuses to drag out conflict and bill more. Having had attorneys who gave me straight talk and encouraged me to be reasonable and, when appropriate, at least try to settle, I know a red flag when I see one who does not encourage this in their clients--its a sign they need to bill more hours. Unfortunately this comes at the expense of your case.

I entered the office to sign paperwork and forgot the lawyers name I was working with. Upon asking for a minute to look it up, the receptionist said "how do you come to a lawyers office and not know who you're seeing". I'm a highly educated professional but given the emotional situation had difficulty with name recall. A lawyer's office should be a place to help people in difficult positions. This receptionist is condescending, rude and it's embarrassing to have this type of staff in the front of the house. I would recommend they reconsider who is greeting and directing their clients.

I recently hired Susan to handle a divorce that was uncontested and had a post-nupt guiding the entire divorce proceeding. Susan often called with confused questions forgetting the details of my case. Her continual delays in creating the divorce paperwork were inexcusable. Her overall gruff manner and lack of communication are infuriating. She neglected to file the post-nup in accordance with the law and left me at great financial risk. If she was so remiss in my simple case, you should be very wary of using her for yours. When confronted with this egregious error she agreed to return my retainer - and then reneged on that agreement by claiming her error was easily fixable. Be very careful. She is not a woman of her word and her legal skills are clearly are highly suspect.

Attorney Moch gave my case the diligent energy and unwavering devotion to fight for what was right for me. She was trustworthy and ethical in a setting where these qualities can be hard to find. Susan provided the organization and control I needed in a pretty chaotic situation. She is tough, experienced, and clearly knows how to get the best for her clients. After experiencing the work of other lawyers, I can honestly say I am deeply thankful that Susan Moch was on my side. I don’t know where I would be now without her defense, wisdom and guidance.

Grain of salt: this was my husband's lawyer in a no contest and previously amicable divorce. I was never notified of any court appearances. If this lawyer had actually done what said she would do, there would be no issue. But either inept or a straight up liar, she went against my express wishes, never redid the paperwork, and incorporated lies. Cost for me to undo it will be $1500. Plus, she actually caused a delay in the divorce, made tons of extra secret motions to get more money from my stupid ex husband.

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.
