Rear-ended on a freeway on-ramp on the way to support my boss at a work event. Not only did I not expect it to happen, I was not ready to have injuries that would change my life and career going forward. Enter Cory Santos, Attorney. From day one he made sure my health and well being was taken careof. Linking me up with the best therapist and doctors while also handling all the Workman Compensation correspondence so I was not bothered and could focus on healing. Sometimes it got quiet, but Cory assured me things were under control and to be patient, always checking on how I felt. I’m not sure how many barriers he had to push out of the way, but Cory got me a six figure settlement and made sure the therapist I worked with showed me how to care for myself going forward with the injuries I sustained. I have no regrets, I am so grateful that I made the call to team up with a truly caring, compassionate, knowledgeable human being/attorney. We are never ready for something like this to happen, but I do know if it ever happens again, I’ll be ready to call Cory Santos to represent me. Highly Recommended

Cory gave me a PHENOMENAL consultation. All the while, giving me over an hour of his time. He was so incredibly helpful and wanted to make sure I knew all the necessary steps to take, as I am unversed on the topic. His help made me feel much more educated about my situation.

There are lawyers and then there are great lawyers. Kale Brock is one of the few great lawyers out there. He is diligent, knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. I have consulted with Mr. Brock on several issues over the past couple years, and each one, he has offered sound advice and helped navigated the situation. I highly recommend him as both a lawyer and as a person, and I know that whatever difficulties are presented, Mr. Brock will be able to find the best path forward. If there are any questions when deciding on a lawyer, Mr. Brock is the answer.

Stephanie is a cross between Princess Diana and Erin Brockovich. She is beautiful, kind, selfless and endearing. She is also a fierce litigator who will do whatever it takes to get justice for her clients. My husband and I endured the most difficult times of our life when my husband and his business partner decided to part ways. From the second we met Stephanie, she made us feel important and like she genuinely cared about our case. She went above and beyond what you would expect from a lawyer while fighting and fighting until she won us what we had spent our whole lives earning. We will forever be indebted to her for what she has done for our family.

Lyn was our attorney when our insurance company denied the care my husband needed. We appealed to the insurance company and the next level and we're still denied. We hired Lyn to assist us in going before an administrative law judge. Lyn gave us great advice. She handled the appeal with the judge and she won. We were thrilled because we were not optimistic the entire process until we hired Lyn. We highly recommend her services..

I would definitely recommend Lyn. I had Lyn file a motion for an early termination of my probation after I was told by parole and probation I wasn't going to be able to be released early. Lyn was very nice and very professional. She had my motion filed very quickly and about a month after our initial meeting she had already recieved the court order terminating my probation and dismissing my charges. Her price was very reasonable. She was very responsive and kept me up to date on every aspect of my case. If ever in the future I am in need of an attorney, Lyn would be the first one I would call.

My wife and I went in to see James to see if we were able to deal with me losing my job because of an injury at work. This was something I had never in my life had to deal with and he helped us with advice and honesty. I would recommend James to everyone going through any actions as he has a sympathetic ear and was so very helpful for us to walk us through the trauma. As it worked out we did not have to use him professionally but I will always think of him as a gift to us.

I want to let you know of my experiences with Mr. James A. McCarty. Sometimes, people are eager to write letters or make phone calls to complain, but I wanted to take the time to write to let you know that I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of James. Throughout my case, he was always very quick to respond, made himself available during times that most would consider after hours and always patient in explaining the status and developments of my case.
Before coming to James, I gave up hope to win my case. But it was James who made the case win. He made the settlement process smooth and comfortable as possible. Every step along the way, I was kept informed of the progress. I thank and commend James McCarty and his company Beckett, Yott, McCarty &Spann for truly being helpful.

I had a workers’ comp claim which my employer and insurance company denied. Seeing their name in the web I contacted Laurie who deals personal injury cases. She referred me to James McCarty for handling the workers’ comp. James handled my case from the beginning to the end. He made my dead case to life with his thoughtful and brilliant legal knowledge. I’m happy to the positive outcome of my case.
He is an excellent mentor and an excellent workers comp attorney. I strongly endorse James as an attorney for workers’ comp. If you have an issue with accident, you need James McCarty on your side.

Jarrad is very pleasant to work with, and more importantly he is very knowledgeable with regards to the law and does his "homework" to know and understand all that is taking place with our business issue.
Jarrad always makes himself available if we need to speak with on the phone, or if we communicate by email he is quick to answer. He also has an excellent paralegal who works closely with him, who is always available to discuss matters with or to pass on information to Jarrad.
In my opinion, Jarrad offers excellent advice, and represents us as if he were a part of our company. I highly recommend Jarrad to anyone who wants an intelligent and caring attorney.

At a difficult time in my life, I had the pleasure of working with Kenton Karrasch and his paralegal Sharon Ellis. They were both very knowledgeable, professional and understood my situation and how vulnerable I was during this time. They offered guidance to me and suggested different scenarios we might come across and how to be prepared for them. With their expertise, my case was finalized with everything I had asked for. I highly recommend them knowing they will work their absolute best for you as well.

My experience with Kenton Karrasch and his paralegal Sharon at Surratt Family Law was amazing. Words cannot express that enough. Nobody can really anticipate or ever really prepare for the nightmare a family matter can be. I began my case journey not knowing what to expect and feeling lost, scared, and clueless of what to expect. Kenton and Sharon both made me feel so comfortable and made me feel heard. Not a single question or concern went unheard. They both valued my time and valued my peace of mind. They both went above and beyond. Kenton fought for fairness and fought for my rights and gave me the sense of security I deserve.
I am so grateful to have worked with the amazing team Kenton and Sharon are at such a great law practice. They truly are the best!❤️

I have not retained services from this lace nor will I ever. Unfortunately they representing people who commit clear and blatant fraud. Could never understand why injury firms have a bad rap until now. Shame on this firm. These comments are backed up with facts so I know I would not use this firm ever. Unless I plan to break the law

I am a client who lives out of state and have found that distance does not matter. I will happily recommend Shawn Pearson to anyone who is looking for an east to work with and capable attorney. His staff of Cassy and Nikki are great to work with.

My dad passed away and my brother, two sisters and I had no idea where to start as my father left no directions. We consulted with several firms before coming to Anderson, Dorn and Rader on a recommendation. Mr. Rader had a remote conference with all of us (we're spread all over the country), listened to us, addressed our concerns in words we could understand and agreed to work with us. Rather than telling us to surrender our father's estate to someone we'd never met (as several other firms had) he encouraged us and agreed we should be involved. Throughout the process, Monica (Senior Paralegal) was phenomenal - always answering our questions promptly and accurately, even making suggestions on how to pursue items I wasn't aware we should be looking for. My siblings and I always felt we had an advocate throughout the process and that we'd been lucky to find the firm. They earned every penny they asked us for and they did not add on additional fees or hire external agents as we'd been quoted by other firms. Thank you so much and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

After an injury at work, I mistakenly thought the doctors that workmen’s comp sent me to would help me recover. Instead, I found that their loyalty was to the insurance company paying the tab.R. Trent McAuliffe helped me get the medical treatment I needed when workmen’s comp kept trying to close my case. It took a few years to go through the process, and I am grateful that I got the surgery I needed. I’m very satisfied with the results of Trent advocating for me. I wish I had consulted him when I first got injured, instead of several months later. Get a consultation with him as soon as possible, it’s in your best interest!

I received a DUI in a very small town in northern Nevada after allegedly running a stop sign. My wife and I were on vacation from Arizona and it was a very stressful series of events. The closest lawyers I was able to find was in Reno and there were not too many choices. After thoroughly reviewing each profile of the lawyers that were available I chose to hire Lee Hotchkins. Lee was known as being fierce in court and he had years of experience defending cases such as mine. The trial eventually occurred 9 months after the incident. During the 9 month period Lee made many motions to dismiss and the prosecution opposed each motion. The case file containing emails back and forth with the DA was substantial. No video evidence was ever turned over. Lee continued to push to the point where a different prosecutor assumed the case after the original prosecutor became frustrated. On the day of the trial the DA made a deal to drop the DUI to a reckless driving citation. The plea was very unexpected and surprised Lee almost as much as it surprised me and my wife. Lee Hotchkins is admirable, a man of his word who fights fiercely for the rights of his clients in a passionate and forceful manner. Lee will not beat around the bush and will astutely advise you in your own best interest. My wife and I gave Lee a very big hug after the trial. Without his council the ramifications would have been much more severe. If you are in the position that I found myself in, I would highly recommend that you call Lee Hotchkins and get him on your case immediately. Trust me, you can't afford not to. Thank you, Lee.

I strongly recommend RJM&W to anyone in need of legal services in any of their practice areas. The entire staff is friendly, professional, and a pleasure to speak with. I know this not only from an internship with the firm, but also as a client. I highly recommend Rich Williamson - He has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a brilliant legal mind, projects a calm confidence, keeps client cost/benefit considerations in mind, and treats everyone with the utmost respect and professionalism. He has been a valuable voice of reason in a variety of areas and I look forward to working with him for years to come.

These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.
Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.
When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:
- Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
- Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
- Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
- Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
- Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
- Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.
Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.
