I used Mr. Potter twice for auto mobile accidents I was in. Both times he was extremely forth coming with all the information and data he received in reference to my case. I always felt like he was on my side and looking out for my well being. I would always get a call back directly from him (not a paralegal) when I called with serious questions. He made sure I was financially compensated for my injuries. I would surely reccomend him to anyone! Simply put - I believe he was and amazing attorney. I would rehire him if ever I need an attorney.

Roger represented me for two motor vehicle accidents, and my wife on another. Roger has a reputation as one of the best, and in our experiences, it's well-deserved. He communicated with us in easy to understand terms every step of the way, kept us updated, and I'm confident we received maximum fair value for our claims. Roger's paralegal Mr. Hyde was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, too, and helped us navigate the stressful and confusing world of lawsuits and litigation. We've since referred numerous friends to Roger.

Mr. Pasquale has handled several issues for me. The sale of my house, my divorce, purchase of a second house and a contract issue. He is the person I go to when there is something I cannot handle myself. He is very thorough, knowledgeable and always returns my calls.

Mr. Rhodunda jr. has been my go to guy on everything from the mistakes I made in my childhood to the tragedies I have suffered as an adult. There was a time I had money on retainer with him and a family member was in need of representation. I spoke to Mr. Rhodunda Jr. about how if the family member needed anything (representation) to just go ahead and give it to her. I wasn't clear about how I meant for if she needed anything for her own representation he should give it to her. The family member not only used it on herself ,but also on others. When I asked Rhodunda Jr. what was left on retainer and he was explaining where the money had gone I told him about the misunderstanding. Even though I told him I thought I was to blame for not making it clear he still repaid all of the money used in ways I didn't intend it to be used. He didn't have to do that. I think he did it because he felt that's what was the rite thing to do at the time. When I lost loved ones he offered his condolences. Through all of the more personal credit I've given him I have forgotten to mention the years of my life he has saved me from losing because of his knowledge and ability. As long as he is in practice I will be his client. I could write pages of good things but I think I've made my point. He is a great lawyer and an amazing man who will always have my respect.

Melvyn can get it done --- period. Need an offshore account in the Cook Islands? Done! Need to grow your paltry senate paycheck into some serious cash? Done! Need to keep your son's highly illegal quid pro quo business ventures "at arm's length?" Done!!! There may be nothing Melvyn can't do. He has seemingly been able to turn one of America's worst father into a powerhouse international political broker. Imagine what he could do for you!

I was hit broad side, after another driver ran the red light. I thought to myself, I'm not going to hire an Attorney. I'm sure my Insurance company will take care of everything. I was given a real dose of reality when the bills started coming in, and their insurance company refused to pay! I began interviewing Attorneys. I spoke to six different Attorneys till I found "The one" guy that I felt would do a great job representing me. That "Guy" is Mr. Jim Erisman. He is genuine, an very professional, yet he takes the time to walk you thru, and explain each, and every step of the legal process. After I had ask him to represent me, he immediately stopped the nasty calls from the bill collectors. Then he called their Insurance company, and made them realize that THEY are responsible for the small mountain of bills that I am receiving. Almost Immediately I felt that I hired the right Attorney. An Attorney is only as good as the hard working staff in his office. Mr. Erisman works with a fantastic staff. When you have Mr. Erisman in your corner, you feel like you are his only client! When the time came for the case to go to court, Jim made sure that I was prepared, and fully understood the legal process. He made one promise......That he would be honest, and represent me 100%. What more could anyone ask for? In the end, the outcome was very successful. All my bills were paid, my credit remained intact, and I was properly compensated. The Insurance company has been through this a million times. They have a team of Attorneys. They don't care about you. Your just a statistic. Get an Attorney that will fight for you. Get an Attorney that really cares about you, and your unique situation. Give Jim Erisman a call. Make an appointment. I am sure you will feel very confident that you have chosen the best. Best Regards, Steve Kledaras

Matt will give it to you straight. I will choose Matt every time God forbids that I get into another accident. I would also like to add that Elizabeth Palmatary is also the best. She also will reply to all emails and phone calls.

I hired Ms. Wolf after visiting a few lawyers in Wilmington. What made the difference and gained my trust was her vast knowledge of the law and her honesty about the possible outcomes of my worker's compensation claim. Ms. Wolf first referred me to the best specialist for my type of injury in Wilmington, then she went above and beyond her duty to make sure I was well taken care of financially throughout the legal process and finally she made sure that my well-being and permanent injury were well reflected in settlement. If you want a lawyer with expansive knowledge of worker's compensation law, that will not seek a quick settlement, and is always 2 steps ahead of opposing counsel and insurance companies then Ms. Wolf is what you are looking for.

Attorney Roberts is an expert in Workers compensation. She came to my rescue when my back was against the wall. I put my complete trust in her, something I never do. She was honest, diligent, respectful, super intelligent, paid attention to details and my concerns. I doubt there is a better Workers Compensation attorney on this planet.

He became my family lawyer along the way and continues to help with estate issues that arise when several children are beneficiaries. He has never failed to respond quickly and patiently provide the legal solution.

Tom Shellenberger has been my attorney since 2014 for both my divorce and two child custody issues. After 18 years of marriage, I was looking for an attorney who was not only good but someone I could trust. When you walk into the office you are met by Samantha who is pleasant and then greeted by a confident yet kind Tom. Over the past four years I have had amazing service. I know that Tom fights hard for me but is not rude or unkind to the other side. Samantha keeps the office running and you always know what is going on with her regular communication. If you are looking for an attorney and staff who care this is the place for you.

I had a long pending Divorce case from international court outside of USA. My ex is very vindictive and crazy about money and has been harassing me and my family for over 4 years without agreeing for a Divorce. My lawyers from my hometown have been greedy for money and just minting money from us for 4 years but making no progress in the case. I approached Ms.DiScuillo for legal advice, if I can file my case in USA courts and what are my possible options so i can move ahead with my life. She was very patient, knowledgeable and focused on the goal of the case to get me a divorce. She was not at all money minded and I was relieved I found a great lawyer who really cared about her clients and just there to collect fees. Though Ms. DiScuillo was not familiar with my hometown laws/courts, she took great interest in educating herself and perform the right research. Ms. DiScuillo approached my lawyers back home to find a solution to my complicated case and also hired investigators to get as much information as she could. Ms. DiScuillo was very very approachable, considerate and definitely there to protect/fight for her clients and not for money sake only. I would highly recommend her to anyone who have stuck with cases in life for years and want to move on with a true legal advise beneficial for the clients.

Vicki Shoemaker is an excellent attorney who is knowledgeable and tenacious and who prepares thoroughly. She has an uncanny ability to quickly identify all issues related to a matter and to decisively put a plan of action into effect. She does not waste a client's time or money. Her integrity is beyond reproach and she has a true passion for justice. As the attorney who represents me in a complex litigation, she works with me, listens to me patiently, keeps me informed in a timely manner and advocates diligently on my behalf. She researched exhaustively and prepared fully for depositions and filings and she advanced compelling arguments supporting my position.. She used expert witnesses to great advantage in order to support our case. We have had a number of successes along the way and I am confident my case will ultimately be resolved fairly and in my best interests. Vicki's attention to detail has proved to be of great value because she does not miss small bits of information that can be crucial in winning points and she knows how and when to use her arsenal of information. Her arguments are always reasonable, rational and based on fact. I am happy to recommend her to any prospective client for litigation and business disputes as well as arbitration and mediation to settle disagreements for which she is certified and eminently qualified

I went through multiple lawyers in my case, all of which were happy to take money and get nothing done. Chandra helped me navigate through the mess with family court and was the only one that I felt actually cared about the outcome of my case. She’s responsive, thorough, took the time to go over everything with me, and even though it took a long time, (as I said, case was a mess, I fully expected it to) she succeeded in helping my children & I. The quality and care she put into representing me was beyond exceptional, right from the initial consult. I’d recommend her to anyone.

I hired James Tobia to help me limit personal liability in a civil action against a business. He was honest, readily available, and seemed to genuinely care about getting the best possible result for me -- and the result was to my satisfaction. Unlike some of the other lawyers I had consulted with before choosing James, he understood the scope of the issue which helped keep costs reasonable.

It is my privilege to recommend Mr. David Felice, an excellent lawyer, based in Delaware with the firm Bailey & Glasser LLP. I have know and worked with Mr. Felice on a professional basis for over 10 years after becoming acquainted with him while he was practicing at Cozen O’Conner. He was invaluable in a corporate litigation case that successfully tried a Section 220 (Books and Records) action before the Delaware Court of Chancery, resulting in a court order requiring comprehensive production of corporate documents. Subsequently he was instrumental successfully obtaining a verdict after a jury trail involving breach of contract, fraud, conversion, a misappropriation claims in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Throughout the lengthy litigation process I found Mr. Felice’s superior research and excellent analytical skills gives him the ability to process large volumes of information quickly and formulate an effective strategy. This combined with his exceptional writing skills produced many well-researched and compelling briefs, motions and arguments throughout the case. Additionally, Mr. Felice is a gifted public speaker and represented me in court with skill and professionalism at all times. I hold Mr. Felice in the highest professional regard and would enthusiastically recommend him. I believe his work would, not only meet but exceed your expectations.

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.
