Our first and we hope our only experience with a lawsuit was handled so professionally and managed so well by our attorney, Sammy Ford, that a stressful event was made much easier to endure. Sammy was able to keep our perspective and expectations realistic by providing continual information and guidance all along the way. We had a very successful outcome in our journey with Sammy and would recommend his capabilities to anyone that needs a trustworthy attorney to represent them.

I was introduced to Sammy through a group of investors that had a challenging situation regarding an investment that each had made individually. Although there were over 20 individual investors involved in the case, Sammy made sure that everyone was kept informed of the status of lawsuit and the uphill battles that we may be faced with. After several years of litigation, Sammy and his team were successful in bringing a very positive conclusion to the issues. While I hope to never be involved in any future litigation, I would definitely turn to Sammy and his team to represent me if needed.

Robert Burford is amazing! I had a business issue and my lawyer from most respected law firms in Houston was handling it. This dragged for months and months: tons of aggravation, even sleepless nights, and over $100K in legal bills. A friend recommended to contact Mr. Burford. First he requested to send him all paperwork. After a week, Robert met with me and my partner on the morning before Christmas. His whole office was empty. He asked us what we wanted as the result of his involvement. He found our claim to be very reasonable. After he wrote a letter to the opposing attorneys and had a discussion with them, my partner and I got everything that we wanted. I'm always very thankful to Robert Burford.

Jason is absolutely Awesome. He is so very responsive and keeps you informed on every aspect of your case. He is one of the smartest people I know and THE Smartest Legal Mind I have Ever Seen. Jason takes hid Oath "The Texas Lawyer Creed" Very Seriously. He is ethical and he will Vigorously Defend you and your rights within the law. He Is HONEST and that cannot be said for the majority of attorneys I have known and used. Over the past few years I have told him on numerous occasions he is more of a friend than my attorney, although he is my great attorney. I would not hesitate hiring Jason for one second. Jason goes "Above and Beyond" in his legal representation. Both of his parents are attorneys and has a wealth of information on the law, friends in high places to consult with and can speak to "the common man" just like a "common man", but Jason is far from common. I cannot say enough GREAT Things about Jason. Hire him and you will see for yourself.

I highly recommend Benjamin. He's smart, quick witted, astute and will do everything in his power to help his client. He's one of the best writers I've ever met and he has helped me with in a number of cases.
He is great at looking at problems from a different angle. It's this kind of broad mindedness that makes a difference in each and every case.

Benjamin recently helped me terminate a contract due to a medical issue which the company was refusing to honor. He researched, informed me about my rights, and assisted me in successfully ending the contract without additional fees. I would hire him again in a heartbeat should I need a lawyer in the future.

Benjamin is a great lawyer! My name was forged on a Vivint account registered in my name for a contract for 3 years, Benjamin stepped into help when Vivint wouldn’t cancel the contract and I was subject to paying thousands; I was selling my home and going through a divorce at the time. He was persistent in contacting Vivint and kept me apprised of the developments every step of the way. In the end, he was successful in cancelling the policy and I’m greatly appreciative for his help. I would recommend Benjamin without hesitation. While I hope to never be in this situation again, should I find myself in a similar predicament, I will call him first.

Bob is a fantastic lawyer. His demeanor is calm yet confident. He's very knowledgable which helps create a sense of comfort. As a business owner you work surround yourself with people you trust. We met Bob in 2011 when our business was sued after 10 years in business. It was a stressful time but Bob's advice and guidance helped reduce the stress of the unknown. We trust Bob and value his point of view. He's definitely one to have on your side. Would highly recommend his professional services.

Jane handled my mediation. I found her to be very professional and extremely knowledgeable on family law. She weighed the risks of my case and made me feel very comfortable about the entire process.

I went in with my husbands lawyer stating to my attorney that we would NO WAY settle today... my husband was asking for a LARGE amount of money and by the time we were done, he settled for less than half and let go of making me pay his attorney fees AND let me keep the stocks and bonds... I don't know what Jane said but it worked. She was professional, honest, open and very patient i never felt pushed or rushed and she had wonderful snacks for us. Her office was beautiful and comfortable. I highly recommend her!

Tony Stergio assumed responsiblility for my dispute with former partners after a very large amount of unproductive time and money were spent with another firm.
Tony was very responsive to my concerns and very informative as to what possibe outcomes I might be faced with. We progressed through the process towards trial and he coached me through the entire process. I made it through the painful process of deposition with my former partners with his help.
My case ended up in mediation where Mr. Stergio assisted me to a settlement that exceeded what I thought I would receive, knowing the people that I was dealing with.
Since that time, I have actually recommended Tony to several other people because of his honesty and integrity in handling the intricacies of my case. I highly recommend him for

Tony has been a blessing to our organization since we hired him about one year ago. While we are his first public emergency services organization client, Tony has responded quickly to our needs from an employment practices standpoint and become well versed in our niche. We are a growing agency, which means our need for a dedicated specialist, like Tony, was necessary to facilitate our growth and to ensure we were handling matters appropriately. Tony has even become involved in some disputes with vendors and been extremely helpful in every way. I would highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a solid employment practices attorney!

Melissa was there for me every step of the way! She held my hand through the process and skated the dragons for me when it got tough. But no matter where I was in the litigation process, Melissa was right there to handle it and manage the craziness that I was going through. She was caring and her staff and legal assistants were always there for me. If I called and she was in court, I could always count on her calling me back asap! Same with her staff. That was a huge co fort to me. Melissa cares about her clients. I am grateful for all she and her paralegal and legal assistant have done for me and my family. I could t have gone through all me and my children went through without her! Thanks Melissa!!!!

I was represented by Mr. Little in a commercial case. After first talking to Mr. Little I knew I was being represented by someone who would do everything in their power to help me. He was direct and honest in giving me advice, answering my questions, and coaching me through every step of the litigation process. Trust and loyalty are values Mr. Little takes very serious and these are exemplified in the steps he takes in representing his clientele. In a world where such qualities go unnoticed or disregarded, it is refreshing to know there are people like Mr. Little who take a humanistic approach in considering other people’s feelings, fears, and desires. Most of us know the legal process takes patience, emotional stamina, and an unwavering positive attitude which, in the case with Mr. Little, was easily accomplished by the constant uplifting communication and the sincere personal concern Mr. Little showed for my well-being. It is because of the character, knowledge, attitude, and novel thinking of Mr. Les Little that I have a renewed understanding and admiration for those who practice law. Considering the professionalism of Mr. Les Little, I have no reservations in recommending him to anyone seeking a lawyer that prides himself in a job well done inside and outside the courtroom.

What a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Can Do for You
A lawsuit or dispute lawyer, often referred to as a litigation lawyer, specializes in handling legal conflicts between individuals, businesses, or organizations. These lawyers represent clients in civil lawsuits, helping to resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation in court. They can assist with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, property disputes, business conflicts, personal injury claims, and more.
If you are involved in a legal conflict and need representation, a dispute lawyer can guide you through the litigation process - from filing or defending against a lawsuit to negotiating settlements or representing you at trial.
When Should I Hire a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer when you're involved in a legal disagreement that cannot be resolved informally and may require legal action. Common reasons to hire a lawyer include:
- Breach of contract: If someone has failed to fulfill the terms of a contract, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit to seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Whether it's a partnership disagreement, shareholder conflict, or a dispute with a supplier or customer, a lawyer can help resolve business-related issues.
- Property disputes: If you're involved in a dispute over property ownership, boundary issues, or landlord-tenant conflicts, a lawyer can assist in resolving the matter.
- Personal injury claims: If you were injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a lawyer can represent you in a personal injury lawsuit.
- Debt collection or defense: If you're being sued for unpaid debts or need to collect a debt owed to you, a lawyer can represent you in court or negotiate settlements.
- Employment disputes: If you're involved in an employment-related dispute, such as wrongful termination or discrimination, a lawyer can help you file a claim and represent you in court.
- Defending against a lawsuit: If you've been sued, a lawyer can defend you against the claims, challenge the evidence, and negotiate a settlement or represent you at trial.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your case is properly managed and that your rights are protected throughout the dispute resolution process.
What Does a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Do?
A lawsuit or dispute lawyer provides a wide range of services to help clients navigate legal conflicts and seek resolution. Their tasks typically include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing the facts and evidence to determine the strength of your case or defense and advising you on the best course of action.
- Filing lawsuits or responding to lawsuits: If you're the plaintiff, the lawyer will file a lawsuit on your behalf. If you're the defendant, they will respond to the lawsuit and build a defense strategy.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting and reviewing evidence such as contracts, emails, financial records, and witness statements to support your case.
- Handling negotiations: Negotiating with the opposing party to reach a settlement before the case goes to trial, which can save time and money.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case in court if a settlement cannot be reached, including presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments on your behalf.
- Exploring alternative dispute resolution (ADR): Suggesting mediation or arbitration as alternatives to a trial, which can be faster and less expensive.
- Drafting legal documents: Preparing and filing necessary legal documents such as complaints, motions, and responses, as well as drafting settlement agreements if a resolution is reached.
How Are Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyers Paid?
The fee structure for lawsuit or dispute lawyers varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of dispute, and the lawyer's experience. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Many lawsuit lawyers charge by the hour, especially for cases that require extensive preparation, research, and trial work. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fee: In certain cases, such as personal injury or breach of contract claims, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win the case, usually taking a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of the settlement or damages awarded.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as filing a simple lawsuit or representing you in mediation, some lawyers may charge a flat fee.
- Retainer: In complex cases or long-term litigation, a lawyer may ask for a retainer, which is an upfront payment to secure their services. The lawyer will then bill against the retainer as they work on the case.
Discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how fees will be handled throughout the case.
How Much Does a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee structure they use. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Lawyers may charge between $150 and $500 per hour, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases requiring extensive trial preparation.
- Contingency fees: If your lawyer works on a contingency basis, expect them to take 25% to 40% of any settlement or court award. For example, if you win $100,000 and the contingency fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000.
- Flat fees: For less complex disputes or tasks, such as drafting a settlement agreement or representing you in mediation, flat fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the scope of work.
- Retainers: Some lawyers require an upfront retainer fee, which can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the case complexity and expected litigation length.
Make sure to ask for a detailed breakdown of fees during your consultation so you know what to expect.
Top Questions to Ask a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer
Before hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has handled similar disputes and is familiar with the relevant area of law. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether they charge hourly, on a contingency fee basis, or offer flat fees, and ask for a detailed cost estimate. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case and potential challenges. -
Have you handled cases that went to trial?
If a trial is possible, confirm the lawyer has courtroom experience. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for resolving your dispute. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Understand who will manage your case and their level of involvement.
How to Check the Credibility of a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary actions.
- Look for relevant experience: Review their website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in litigation or dispute resolution.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for feedback on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should provide references from past clients.
- Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Bar Association’s Section of Litigation can indicate expertise.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Contracts or agreements: Copies of any signed contracts or relevant agreements.
- Emails and communications: Any written communication between you and the other party.
- Evidence of the dispute: Receipts, financial records, photos, or witness statements related to the conflict.
- Timeline of events: A clear chronology of the dispute, including key dates and interactions.
- List of questions: Prepared questions about your case, the legal process, costs, and strategy.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide you with the best legal advice on how to proceed.
