Maria Markou is the best lawyer not only for her strong legal ability and high ethical standards but also because she is a winner. She is the most loyal, dedicated, reliable and trustworthy person I have ever met. I feel so lucky to be her client. Thank you Maria for working extra hard in order to ensure our success, for your overall and continuous support and for always being there for us to talk and help us through all the challenges that come along in our life. You always go above and beyond and that is what makes your law firm services ideal and separates you from the rest.

I have never been disappointed. His legal advice is superb. He always kept me apprised of the situation and progress on the case. He is very easy to talk to and always available.

I consulted with Elan about an arbitration case and breach of contract. He was extremely thorough and took the extra time to explain the process and all options available. He was extremely caring and helpful. We discussed the different state laws on arbitration. I would highly recommend, especially for cases dealing with arbitration and/or mediation. I feel less stressed after consulting with him.

I truly cannot speak more highly of Jason. He is such a wonderful and knowledgeable lawyer. Jason guided me through the entire case, answered any questions I had, and overall, made me feel confident in choosing him as my lawyer. He truly went out of his way for my case, and I am forever grateful. Please look no further than JK Law Group if you need a lawyer, they really are the best of the best! Cannot recommend Jason enough!

I recently had a consultation with Ali Shahrestani and I can't recommend him highly enough. He was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain everything in detail, clearing up so many questions I had. His professionalism, patience, and ability to break down complex legal matters made me feel confident and well-informed. I truly appreciate the time he dedicated to ensure I fully understood my options. Thank you so much, Ali Shahrestani for your outstanding service!

Attorney Peng is my second lawyer during my immigration application process. She's diligent and responsible. What I like most about her is her high efficiency, timely communication, smooth process, and her ability to provide the best solutions from a professional perspective and from the client's point of view. In the end, my application was successfully approved. I'm so grateful to her and her team. Highly recommend to anyone who needs professional immigration services.

I’ve worked with many attorneys about so many different stuff, this is definitely the most responsible, caring and affordable attorney I’ve ever worked with. They are professional, they know 100% what they’re doing, they actually cares about my case, they answers follow up question for me even after my case, they are patient, compassionate and definitely honest people. I appreciate them a lot truly, very hard working people.

Outstanding support, customer service if you will, which is rare these days. Communication, a response from Zach, was rapid, thorough and effective. I would trust him and this firm 100%

07 Aug, 2024 by Barbara king

My experience with Zackary Meyer was incredible. He made me feel comfortable in explaining my litigation matter that had been going on for over 5 years. You can’t imagine the frustration I’ve been dealing with for that long period of time. I explained my side of the story as he reviewed my case and he understood exactly what was going on and agreed to take my case. He also explained to me he didn’t offer any promises or guarantee on the outcome but he said he would do his very best. When this firm offers to do their best “look out” because that is exactly what you will get. On my trial date at court, I thought I would be nervous but I wasn’t because a very polite young man by the named Ali Jaffery partner of Zackery Meyers Firm attended. He presented the facts in a very dignified manner. The facts were proven for this trail and the lawsuit against me were dismissed at its entirety. I am so grateful for this firm. If you are ever in need for a law firm that gives a client 100%, I highly recommend Sutton Sacks and Meyers. The expertise of this firm is one that I am so grateful for and will be long lived. Again, Kudos to Zackary Meyer and Ali Jaffery.

First starter he is very easy to work with! I never worried about my case. He makes you understand every single detail. I got my greencard as short as 7 months and we didn’t even go through interview process. He is so professional and knows what he is doing. You can always reach out to him very easily. So grateful to work with him after hearing all this bad stories from other people. You won’t regret to work with him I can tell you that. Definitely highly recommended!!! Thank you for everything David!

Steven and his team were extremely responsive to my questions and concerns. There was not a time that Steven did not respond to any of my questions the same day. It took 18 months for my case to be settled and he kept in the loop the entire time. If it wasn’t for Steven’s kindness, I don’t think I could have done it.

Thank you for making what can be a challenging task so simple. I'm very appreciative!

There is no way for me to express how grateful I am for Ms. Sanderson’s help and service. She is truly a gift sent from god, she truly cares and will go out of her to take care of her clients and stand by your side. People like her are what give me faith in the American justice system because you can always count on her to do her best by you. She saved my life and I owe my second chance at life to her. If I can give her 10 stars I would, if you’re looking for council that you can trust to have your best Interest at heart, Ms. Sanderson is who I would recommend.

I am grateful to God for leading me to D'Emilia Law. I had to help a family member with a legal problem. I called the number after hours and Paul returned my call directly within minutes. Not only is this firm very professional, but Paul and his team have empathy. I knew after the first conversation within minutes that I was working with the right person. Excellent firm and I highly recommend their services. Thank you so much Paul.

I asked Jonathan to review my employment agreement. I sent it to him on a Sunday, and he gave an answer in 30 minutes. In our follow up discussion at 9 PM (!) two days later, Jonathan was very thorough. He pointed out a number of flaws in the agreement. Ultimately, he put my mind at ease on the matter. It is evident that Jonathan has many years of experience and great insights. I would definitely engage him again and I would highly recommend him to everyone. Bottom line: Jonathan has great experience and knowledge and works 24/7 for clients - what can be better than that!

I was referred to Jonathan by a former colleague who also negotiated a settlement with my employer. From the minute that I reached out to his office Jonathan was responsive, helpful and sympathetic. I was initially taken aback by Jonathan's aggressive style but as we worked together we developed a good dialogue and rapport. I followed Jonathan's advice and I trusted him to manage the process and he delivered as promised. I have already recommended him to several other colleagues who are in similar situations.

I was referred to attorney Hardaway by a few MBA school classmates that had several good experiences working with attorney Hardaway. He was successful handling high stakes litigation and transactions. Johnathon is a genius, the most intelligent and strategic thinking person I have ever met. At our first meeting he listened patiently, thereafter he outlined a six-month plan to resolve how best to negotiate and sell my corporation and the commercial property it sits on at or above my desired price. Then he delivered methodically. When there were unforeseen problems he resolved them quickly. I recommend Johnathon Hardaway to anyone seeking a great business lawyer and strategic thinker.

Johnathon is simply the best! He is diligent, intelligent, and prompt. Every time I had to go to court, Johnathon was there by the time I arrived. I won my case! I am very satisfied and would highly recommend Johnathon.

I hired attorney Johnathon Hardaway to negotiate a $11 million restricted unit agreement. He did an excellent job. Thanks to his understanding of the law and "I am only asking for what is fair" negotiating style, I got a contract that far exceeded my expectations. He accurately anticipated the other sides moves. I recommend attorney Hardaway to anyone seeking an attorney.

Danial Alter left No stone unturned for my case. I don’t believe I would have won my case without his experience and knowledge in bankruptcy Law but what separates him from other lawyers is that he treats his clients like family. Your problems become his problem and he will not stop till you get the best outcome. If your looking for a bankruptcy lawyer I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Alter.

I had an urgent legal matter that needed immediate attention. Without any delay whatsoever, on the day of the issue arising, Russ was able to strategize on the correct actions providing multiple options, and we selected the optimal strategy moving forward in order to deal with the problem. The turnaround was astounding, impressive, and much needed. The issue was resolved the same day, and the immediate connection and ability to speak directly greatly helped everything within the process. Unlike other law firms that you have to work through an army of admin assistants, working with Russ was easy, fast, and I received expert-level resolution without any back and forth or time wasted. I always prefer working directly with the experts due to efficiency and getting the right answers instead of wasting time or any miscommunication and Russ's law practice was able to to resolve my issue efficiently and exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Russ, for all your support and expertise!

I was terminated by my employer and I thought I had a case. I was either ignored or turned away because of "conflicts of interest." Russell came by way of a referral from a Labor Rights website and I am so grateful. He really looked into my case and listened to me. When Russ believes in something, he's passionate about it. I don't know anything about law and he made sure to explain each phase and had multiple courses of actions so I always knew all my options and was fully involved in each decision. At first, I was so worried. My employer had a team of legal professionals and a lot of money to pour into litigation and I definitely do not. Russ was a one man army and handled each interaction with tact and grace. In the end, we won the claim and I know it was all due to 2 things; the truth and Russ. I will continue to recommend anyone having any issues with current or former employers to Russ. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for all your patience and mental fortitude!

I was living a nightmare for almost four years. I sold my home and the buyers' attorney fell for a scam e-mail, wiring my mortgage payoff to a fraudulent account at my servicing bank. All of the funds were completely withdrawn from the fraudulent account in a few days. I had no idea that any of this happened until the bank deducted a mortgage payment from my account weeks later. After my real estate attorney discovered what happened, the bank was notified of the fraud and told me not to worry, and that they would freeze the account until the situation was rectified. The buyers' attorney refused to take any responsibility, claimed to be a victim, and never notified the buyers that their home was subject to a lien from an unsettled mortgage. The local police and the FBI were notified and investigated and found that the scammers succeeded in getting the funds overseas. Everyone involved in the transaction denied responsibility and then the bank denied saying that they would freeze the account and referred me to collections, destroying my credit and putting my security clearance and livelihood at risk. I hired Tim and PLG to represent me in this matter, and when the bank refused to even discuss what had happed, he filed a civil suit on my behalf. Tim and PLG were relentless in fighting for me and helping me navigate through dealing with my employer as my clearance was in jeopardy. Were it not for Tim, I would have lost my clearance and my job. Unfortunately, there is little recourse for victims of this type of fraud and it is impossible to fight major banks, insurance companies, and attorneys without having the best on your side. I was lucky to have Tim and PLG on my side and I received a favorable outcome. Tim is passionate about what he does, seeking justice for his clients, fighting for "the little guy"! I hope no one ever has to go through what I did, but if you do, you need Parlatore Law Group in your corner!

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.

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.
