Attorney Latuga represented me in a wreckless driving case in Norfolk 2024. Attorney Latuga skillfully convinced the Judge to reduce my violation to a defective equipment citation. No misdemeanor, no points off my license and most importantly, no jail time. I highly reccomend Attourney Latuga.

Jim is extremely knowledgeable, and if you have concerns about your VA waterfront property, I'd recommend you give him a call.

23 Aug, 2022 by Masonry design

I am a business owner who uses attorneys from time to time. Jim Lang is the best. He helped me fix a big problem I had at the VMRC on a matter of great importance to me. This was not a simple case so it turned into a 4 year journey. Over that entire time Jim was always smart, tenacious, experienced, a great listener, and (most importantly) caring. A lot of road blocks popped up over the life of my case. Jim figured out a way over, around or through each one. Jim's deep contacts at the agency, and the credibility he has built up over his many years representing clients before the VMRC, turned out to be a resource that was very helpful in getting my case resolved in highly favorable terms. Another thing that I liked about Jim is that he kept me informed all along the way. I always knew exactly what was going on with my case. This attorney is a quality human being who is very good at what he does. Highly recommended!

He made sure to keep me up to date with everything going on in my case and made sure I was a part of every decision he made and did not move forward with anything unless I agreed. I would recommend Abernio Law to anyone who needs a caring and understanding lawyer! James and his team are one of a kind! Thanks for everything

There is no feeling like when you know the law, know you are on the right side of it, and yet are being taken to trial. That’s how our family felt when my sister was wrongly accused of four car pile up that was due to someone else’s negligence. Enter, Mr. Abrenio like a breath of fresh air. He took his time in preparing us for trial, with a disarming confidence and meticulously created plan of action that rang true when we won. He is definitely worth his weight in gold. If you need an attorney— look no further. 5/5, 10/10, 100% recommend

Mark Krudys is an exceptional lawyer who I am very thankful to have crossed paths with and who I highly recommend. Mark and his team was there for me in the most difficult time. They are very compassionate, knowledgeable, and really took the time explaining every step of the way. If you ever get the opportunity to see Mark in action you'll understand why I would easily call him a super lawyer. The Krudys Law Firm are truly a praiseworthy, go getter firm. I appreciate them greatly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I have been working with the Krudys Law Firm for over a year and a half on a civil rights case, and I couldn't be more impressed with their exceptional service. Mark Krudys is an exceptionally talented lawyer with a proven track record of success. His thoroughness and diligence in handling every aspect of my case have been outstanding. He keeps me well-informed and explains everything in layman's terms, ensuring that I understand the legal proceedings. In addition to Mark, I have had the pleasure of working with two paralegals, Will and Claire, who are truly the best. They possess excellent communication skills and have been incredibly understanding and compassionate towards my situation. Their support has been invaluable as I navigate through this challenging time. While my case is not yet resolved, I have full confidence in the Krudys Law Firm. Win or lose, I can say with certainty that they are the best at what they do. I highly recommend their legal services to anyone in need of dedicated and skilled representation." Nicholas Tierney

Sammy Kim, Tax Attorney & here legal assistant, Anna, were extremely responsive, knowledgeable and were able to walk me through a complex set of Tax, bank and even work-related issues. Everything was done rapidly and thoroughly to resolution. I don’t spend a lot of time writing reviews, but I felt compelled in this situation. I had no idea how complex my case was going to be. Sammy Kim took the time to understand the details, laid out a plan and did a great job helping make sure I navigated through complex legal and financial challenges. Her office’s Korean knowledge helped me with issues that had potential US and Korean tax implications. Not only did they help me with the case, but Sammy and Anna also took the time to help me with advice in areas that went beyond the immediate case to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. My brother is a lawyer so I have some visibility into what the day in a life of a lawyer and how busy they can get, so this level of service is rare. There’s no one else I would go to, especially if it spans US and international tax law.

18 Mar, 2022 by Scott

After fighting the IRS for over a decade with several lawyers to no avail, I finally made the right move and hired Sammy. She listens, she is articulate in her answeres and knows the nuances of dealing with the IRS. If you have tax and IRS problems, Sammy is the one to turn to. She is very good at what she does.

When I contacted Ggoch Saem Sagong Kim for my tax concerns, she responded same day and gave me clear answer what to do. She explained line by line with patient. Many Thanks, Sammy Kim.

When we needed to learn how to manage our sister's anticipated inheritance, it didn't take long to settle on the Farr Law Firm for advice. Their reputation as the experts in elder law and estate planning preceded them. After a thorough review of our situation, they revised my mother's revocable living trust and prepared a Special Needs Trust for my sister. There was some urgency as my mother was nearing 100 years of age. Thanks to their knowledge and depth of experience they were able to complete the work in a matter of days. Trusts are complicated and in the course of administering them, I've had numerous questions for Mr. Farr or a member of his staff. Without fail, responses are clear, comprehensive and delivered without delay. Working with Farr, I know I can count on things being done correctly and to our best advantage - and that adds up to great peace of mind.

20 Oct, 2021 by Mr. & mr. f.

Originally we chose Evan Farr and his law firm based on his clients' reviews. Our initial appointment with Evan only confirmed all the excellent reviews we have read. Three specific qualities set Evan apart from other attorneys practicing Elder Law: his vast knowledge, excellent listening skills and offering of continuous education for his many clients. We much appreciated Evan's help in navigating the complex and stressful process of setting up our legal documents. We also appreciate Sara Entis' efforts to finalize this colossal task and to make the important signing appointment totally flawless. In addition, we want to mention Sierra Kolasa's willingness to help every time we needed assistance. Our entire experience only proved that choosing Evan and his firm was the right decision. We highly recommend Evan and his firm to everyone.

12 Sep, 2020 by Nick

Evan is a first rate attorney and he’s always generous with time and knowledge. His contributions to other sites, the legal profession and the community as a whole are invaluable.

He was very prepared, professional, and capable of adjusting his strategy as the situation required.

08 Jul, 2024 by James r.

For anyone like myself who found himself caught in the DWI system, let me share a two-word answer: Dave Albo! He is a meticulous professional who immediately stood out from the other attorneys I checked out. Dave is unique as a DWI lawyer because he handles only one client per day, so he is focused on your case and your case alone. He is also relentless when looking at all the evidence. In my case, Dave was able to get both charges dropped from my case, and I walked away with a simple reckless driving charge. His fee was one of the best investments I have ever made.

After consulting with Mark Krudys, we hired him to represent my son in a medical malpractice suit. He took on his case when I had almost given up hope on anyone taking it. He listened attentively to everything we said. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He was also kind, considerate, and compassionate. Mark or Anna was always available if we had questions or concerns, never cutting us off short, or making us feel like we were a bother. I just cannot say enough good things about Mark or the Krudys Law Firm. Mark and Anna worked relentlessly to get my son the justice he deserved. I will always be grateful to them, and would highly recommend this firm.

I will forever be grateful to Mark Krudys. He diligently worked on my complicated white collar case for three years. Mark’s skills made him the perfect lawyer to deal with all of its aspects. His knowledge of civil, criminal and bankruptcy law was invaluable. He took the time to make sure I understand the various proceedings and always made me feel like a priority. In addition to being extremely dedicated to his clients, Mark is the epitome of ethical and professional.

08 Apr, 2019 by Stacy

My case is a civil rights one, and I was extremely impressed with Mr Krudys’ knowledge and practicality in a brief phone call. He himself answered the call, which in itself is absolutely above expectations. While I wasn’t thrilled with his opinion (i.e., I’ll likely not win my case for which he gave solid reasons), I appreciated his honesty and practicality. I would absolutely go to him with other matters.

18 Jan, 2017 by Anonymous

Wow! Working with Mrs. Stewart was one of the best investments I've ever made-next to investing in real estate! The service I requested was a contract review and she pretty much dissected the contract and exposed sinister intention. She explained how contracts should be construed in accordance to the locality/state of the party. She offered great advice such as being able to exit a contract under your terms and that it shouldn't be unilateral or in the favor of the other person. There is so much more I could write, but I have to go to bible study now!

She responded promptly even though she did not express an interest in the matter of concern. I feel it is very nice to respond anyways. Thanks and wish your firm the best of luck. We consulted this firm.

Attorney Spindle is simply an awesome lawyer. He literally went to bat for me on the legal frontier at the Loundoun courthouse. What a day to remember! Knowing that I wouldn't have to see the inside of a jail cell was blessing enough but to go the extra mile and further negotiate with the tough police Officer to reduce pending court charges on me was for lack of a better word phenomenal. Attorney Spindle went from persuading both the Commonwealth attorney, Cop and Judge that a "not guilty" plea was in my best interest accepting all fault to winning the court case for me when the judge, the final authority decided an improper driving infraction was my charge. That was a slam dunk of a court conclusion given I had been charged with reckless driving and an accident. I don't advocate for what I did, in fact I apologized to the judge but to have the blessing of a Spindle will always go a long way. Definitely highly recommend Attorney Spindle's legal brilliance. Was blessed and plan to maintain! Thanks Attorney S for granting a husband and career man a sound opportunity to life.

30 Jan, 2020 by Mr. blue

Mr. Spindle represented me in a matter that was "unique" to say the least. His former life as a magistrate helped very much and enabled the issue to be resolved in a favorable outcome (the charge is being dismissed). I highly encourage anyone needing an attorney they can trust (there really is such a thing) and one who will work for them, hire Mr. Spindle, you will NOT be disappointed!

28 Oct, 2019 by Bryan

Mr. Spindle helped me out tremendously. I had a very bad DUI, where the victim was pushing to go to trial and attempt to get me upwards of 30 days jail time. Mr. Spindle was able to get me only 5 days jail time, after a continuation, and with all facts pointing against me. One of the best and would highly recommend.

Over the course of the last 14 years I have used four different attorneys for the various issues that have arisen regarding custody of my child. Throughout my cases I was left wondering what my counsel was really doing. My attorneys were hard to get in touch with and I never really heard from them until a couple of days before the case went to court. I felt completely in the dark. With Kellam, things were different from the start. He was very honest with his assessment of our case. Time was of the essence in my case and he hit the ground running. I had access to all the documents he had in my file through his internet-based case management system. I got the updates for our case as soon as he got them and I knew every step of the way how things were going. If I needed to ask a question, I got a quick response to my e-mails. With his diligence things happened quickly for us and we are in a good place right now. This was a very sensitive time for my family and I truly felt through it all I had someone in my corner.

My wife and I sold a property and reported the capital gain incorrectly to the IRS. We went to Russ and within a few minutes he knew what happened and what needed to be done. He did not hesitate describing the situation and his confidence put me at ease. Russ indicated we could complete the necessary forms ourselves and send to the IRS. We opted for Russ' help. The issue was resolved quickly and Russ kept in touch with us each time an action occurred, generally from the IRS. He saved our butts and we appreciate it.

14 Dec, 2016 by Anonymous

When I met Russ, I owed a lot in taxes, and had poor representation. Russ Haynes gave it to me straight, and laid out a strategy to get through it, safely and deliberately. In the end, he was extraordinary, saving me tons of money, and allowing me to work with the IRS, with a plan that worked. After a long process, and many payments to the IRS, I made it through. When it comes to taxes, you don't want to mess around. Russ is the best, and he will get you through it. Don't waste your time with anyone else who is not professional, and doesn't understand the situation better than Russ.

I was the victim of identity theft. Someone forged my signature on loan documents. The identity thief stopped making payments on the loan shortly after the account was opened. The fraudulent loan accounts appeared on my credit reports. As a result, I could not refinance my home and credit limits on my existing accounts were being reduced. I sent numerous letters to the credit reporting agencies and the banks with limited success. I was ultimately forced to file a federal lawsuit to protect my rights, my credit and my good name. I was able to get the fraudulent accounts removed from my credit reports and settled my case before trial. I signed separate settlement agreements with each named defendant. The terms and amounts of each settlement agreement are confidential. John helped me through the entire process. He also took my case on a contingency fee basis. I did not have to pay any money out-of-pocket. John was a beacon of light in a very dark time of not knowing and I would recommend him and use him again if needed.

An identity thief stole my identity and used my name and credit to purchase a house that belonged to his ex-wife. The identity thief only made a few payments on the property and let it go into foreclosure. The foreclosure appeared on my credit report as well as a homeowners association judgment for past due HOA fees related to the property. Needless to say, my credit scores were low and obtaining credit was nearly impossible. I did not know where to turn until I was referred to John Bazaz. He was able to walk me through the entire process. He was able to get the judgment vacated in state court. He then helped me dispute the foreclosure and judgment that still appeared on my credit reports. When the credit reporting agencies and the bank refused to delete the inaccurate accounts, he filed a federal lawsuit against them. John was able to get the foreclosure and judgment accounts removed from my credit reports. We settled with each defendant separately before trial. The terms and amounts are confidential. As an added bonus, John took my federal case on a contingency fee basis. He was paid only after I was paid. I strongly encourage you to contact John if you are the victim of identity theft. Liz

Emily Kennedy is a hard working lawyer who strives for excellence for her clients . She thoroughly reviewed my credit reports from the three credit bureaus. She discovered many errors and provided letters for my signature to correct them . My mortgage was included in my bankruptcy and was not being reported since I filed bankruptcy . All payments were paid every month and paid on time . The credit bureaus all responded everything was fine and all errors stayed the same . She followed up three more times with letters for my signature to the credit bureaus . The result was the same each time . She then seeked litigation from the three credit bureaus . She met with all credit bureaus and the mortgage company and the results were in our favor . All errors were corrected and compensation was given due to Emily's persistence and knowledge . Emily more than met our expectations and I would recommend her to anyone who needs her expertise .

An honest lawyer and truly decent human being. We have a combination real estate/consumer issue and met with Ed. He is known as "one of the good guys" (as we found out through a mutual friend AFTER we found him). He met with us, advised us and we were happy to put him on retainer, but after further reviewing our case, he felt it would make more sense for him to refer us to another attorney more focused on real estate (as he is more focused on consumer protection). But, he transferred our retainer to the new attorney and said he would weigh in later if needed! Can you think of the last time someone transferred your business AND funds to a colleague because they had your best interest at heart? We couldn't! But now we can after having met Ed. We have been taken for ride by a company and its empty promises and although Ed referred us on, he helped us immensely by being the honest, straightforward person he is. We would hire him in a minute. When you are a hard-working, honest person and are taken advantage of by a company like we were, it can make you wary of all people and how they conduct business. It makes it very hard to trust anyone, including lawyers. We are incredibly grateful to him for restoring our faith in people and how they conduct business. If you have an issue that falls inside his wheelhouse, I don't think you can go wrong.

Ed reminds me of a lawyer I had in 1991, Douglas Bywater. Ed got the foreclosure and publc auction allegedly performed by Wells Fargo on my real property VOIDED!!! He put up with me, a five year Pro se bank fighter, all while remaining calm and my counsel (not an easy task). Ed deserves major reco.gnition for his contributions to

We were very pleased with the attention and excellent customer service that Jay provided to us. Our case was small but he was extremely attentive and always quick to respond. We quickly developed a good rapport and felt we could trust his advice. If we were to need representation in the future we would call Jay. I have also recommended the firm to friends.

I had the good fortune to work with Mr. O'Keeffe closely over the last several years in a very complex real estate matter involving the location of a high-voltage power line across a residential subdivision. The dispute involved state laws and regulations, local subdivision ordinances and entitlements, and the determination of business damages to future development. The case was highly unique in that the subdivision property across which the power line was to be located was entitled to development while not yet developed. Mr. O'Keeffe combined and synthesized these details into a world-class briefing that laid out the case as clearly as one could hope for. The facts were presented, arguments based on governmental actions and entitlements made, and ultimately a conclusion reached that was easily understood and provided the strongest arguments to our benefit in a well-written and well-thought out way. I was amazed at how clearly the law was laid out and the intelligent work before us. Suffice to say, one week before trial the power company agreed to a settlement that far exceed my expectations. Mr. O'Keeffe's work speaks for itself in that sense, and I could not have been more pleased with the results. Mr. O'Keeffe is an incredibly intelligent, thoughtful and well-spoken attorney and the great success we had in our case was a direct result of his skill and ability to take complex matters and lay them out in a powerful and easily-understandable format. I would encourage anyone looking for an outstanding appellate or business litigation lawyer to consult with Mr. O'Keeffe. His intelligence, strong communications skills, ethical and friendly approach put me at ease during our case and ultimately resulted in a settlement greater than hoped for.

I have had the pleasure of working with both Dawn and Lori and they are both extremely knowledgeable, personable, and skilled, especially when facing complicated trust and estates and tax matters. I highly recommend both Lori and Dawn as they are incredible assets to have in your corner.

When I called Sage Trust Law with questions about the best way to transfer property in my trust, Dawn Dale spent a serious hunk of time asking questions, figuring out my particular circumstances, and explaining my options in understandable detail. Once we decided how to proceed, she began lining up the info needed for our appointment and discovered I had (accidentally) on my own completed the required steps. I was profoundly grateful to have my questions answered by a pro and my concern solved with such expert advice, and I was astounded when she did not charge me for the consultation. If that weren't enough, she spent additional time comforting me about my son's illness that she'd learned about during our fact-finding conversation. So, Dawn Dale is knowledgeable, super-competent, honest, beyond fair, AND compassionate. In today's world, that's pretty much of a miracle, and you absolutely can not do better than that.

Tim McEvoy and Richard G. Cole were exceptional counsel. I highly recommend both lawyers.

23 Jan, 2015 by Robert

Tim McEvoy represented the interests of us co-executors in a Fairfax County Civil Court trial regarding a dispute over interpretation of a Will with respect to the distribution of assets from the sale of my step-mother's house. He was engaged, prepared and knowledgeable in the interpretation of the legally dense articles of the Will. I highly recommend Tim to any executors facing a Fairfax County Commissioner's hearing or a trial defending any exceptions thereto.

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You

A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.

Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.

When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:

Fraud or deceptive business practices: If a company misled you into purchasing a product or service under false pretenses, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.
Defective products: If you purchased a product that was unsafe or defective and caused harm, a lawyer can help you file a product liability claim.
False advertising or unfair pricing: A lawyer can assist if you were misled by deceptive advertising or charged for services or products in a way that violates consumer laws.
Debt collection harassment: If you're being harassed by debt collectors or are facing illegal debt collection practices, a consumer protection lawyer can enforce your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
Credit report issues: If errors on your credit report are affecting your financial standing, a lawyer can help you resolve disputes with credit reporting agencies or creditors under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Predatory lending practices: If you've been subjected to unfair loan terms or practices by payday lenders or mortgage companies, a lawyer can help you challenge the loan and seek a resolution.
Data breaches or identity theft: If your personal information was compromised due to a company’s failure to protect your data, a lawyer can help you recover damages related to the breach.

What Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Do?

A consumer protection lawyer provides a wide range of services to help protect consumers' rights and seek compensation for harms caused by businesses. Their role may include:

Filing lawsuits: Representing clients in lawsuits against businesses that have violated consumer protection laws, whether through fraud, deceptive practices, or negligence.
Negotiating settlements: Working with businesses or their insurers to negotiate fair compensation for damages caused by unfair practices or defective products.
Pursuing class action lawsuits: When a company harms multiple consumers, a lawyer can represent a group of plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit, seeking collective damages.
Advising on consumer rights: Helping clients understand their rights under various consumer protection laws and advising on the best course of action.
Handling product liability claims: Representing clients who have been injured by defective products and holding manufacturers or retailers accountable for the harm caused.
Defending against debt collection harassment: Enforcing the rights of consumers under the FDCPA and other laws that protect individuals from abusive or unlawful debt collection tactics.
Resolving credit report disputes: Helping clients correct errors on their credit reports that may be causing financial harm or affecting their creditworthiness.

How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?

Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:

Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.

It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does a Consumer Protection Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a consumer protection lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal service required. General cost estimates include:

Contingency fee cases: For cases handled on a contingency basis, the lawyer typically takes between 25% and 40% of any settlement or damages awarded.
Hourly rates: Hourly rates for consumer protection lawyers generally range from $150 to $500, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases involving complex legal issues.
Flat fees: For specific services like contract reviews or handling a small claims case, flat fees may range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the scope of work.
Class actions: In class action cases, fees are often paid out of the settlement or damages awarded, and individual plaintiffs usually do not have to pay upfront.

Make sure to ask for a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to avoid surprises and to understand how much you can expect to pay.

How to Check the Credibility of a Consumer Protection Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable consumer protection lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
Check for experience in consumer protection: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to confirm they specialize in consumer protection law and have handled cases similar to yours.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their ability to handle consumer protection cases.
Look for industry affiliations: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) can indicate that the lawyer is committed to protecting consumer rights.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a consumer protection lawyer, come prepared with all relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

Details of the product or service in question: Bring any purchase receipts, warranties, or contracts related to the product or service involved in your claim.
Documentation of your complaint: Provide evidence of your complaint, such as email exchanges with the company, photos of a defective product, or a timeline of events related to the dispute.
Communication with the business or debt collector: If you’ve communicated with the business or debt collector, bring copies of letters, emails, or phone logs.
List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes for your case.
Information on damages: Be prepared to discuss any financial losses or harm you’ve suffered as a result of the unfair business practices, including medical bills, lost wages, or emotional distress.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer understand your situation more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed with your case.
