Nina is a very good communicator, good with difficult clients or partners, a good negotiator for the business and a great person. Nina is able to take direction on risk vs business reward, sensitive areas of the business negotiation and on going more general coaching. Nina does good solid work.

I have worked on multiple projects with Nina related mostly to corporate contracts and contract renewals. I consistently found her to be responsive and very instrumental in helping to close many of my deals. She does a great job with the client and I never hesitated to bring her into a conversation with my customer and their counsel. What I think makes Nina unique is that she was very easy to work with and could simplify the most complex of legal issues so customers and even myself could understand. I recommend Nina and have the utmost confidence that she would benefit any case she is given.

Cannot say enough, great things about my experience with Steven. I’ve had several lawyers throughout my life, and majority of them are terrible. They don’t communicate, they don’t pay attention to details, they don’t HEAR what you have to say. So many just feel like paper pushers. Not Steven. He was available within a day if I ever needed to talk, but I was so comfortable leaving the case with him (which I felt his compassion right away) and just not having to think anything about it that I never had to reach out. He was great at keeping me updated throughout the process, and the case ended with a great success! Very very highly recommended.

Steven was a competent and passionate attorney while representing me. He really went out of his way to maintain all level of professionalism, empathy, and kindness. I was most impressed with his continual efforts to always maintain active communication. I was never left questioning or doubting, and he always got right back to me via email or on the phone. He also showed me that he was experienced and could hold his own in his respective areas of legal expertise that concerned me. I would highly recommend Steven, and I would use his services again in any applicable future legal matters.

I could not have been so successful in my personal injury case without Steven's expertise, guidance, and generous support. Steven held my hand every step of the way through my complicated case, and guided me with patience, thoughtfulness, and confidence. Not only did Steven help me win my case, but he helped me reach a settlement amount much higher than I had dreamed of. He was always available by phone or email to answer my questions, and explained complicated legal terms in simple, easy to understand language. I have the highest regards for Steven and I could not recommend him more highly!

Navigating the sale of my business was one of the most stressful experiences I’ve faced, but Vincent Tong of TONG LAW made it manageable and even seamless. Vincent helped me establish a thorough strategy, drafted necessary contracts that protected my interests and walked me through each step of the process, ensuring I understood all the details. Vincent is also an expert in the area of employment law; Vincent helped me with a separate situation with an employer. Vincent's expert advice and calm, steady counsel turned what could have been an overwhelming ordeal into a smooth and successful transaction. Thanks to his guidance, I felt confident and assured every step of the way. If you are a business owner, especially one who is considering buying or selling a business, or if you are an employee or employer dealing with an employment issues, I can’t imagine a better legal partner than TONG LAW. :)

The journey through the immigration process seemed daunting and choosing an attorney seemed perhaps even more daunting.
After a first consultation with Kevin,
the process just appeared very straightfoward.
All the information he gave was clear and concise, bringing alot of needed reassurance.
He consistently remained accessible during the entire process with upmost patience answering any new questions that would arise.
There we're some complex aspects to my case that required in depth law expertise and Kevin went above and beyond to finalize brilliantly!
I couldn't have found a better attorney!
For the success of my applications but also for the extra kindness demonstrated along the way.
I also want to mention how Immigrating is and can be a very costly journey to embark on. Affordability and unseen costs we're a concern. I have appreciated that Kevin kept all fees transparent and consistently fair from go to finish!
I think he could charge more in regards of his time offered, so many other attorneys do so ruthlessly but this too reflects kevin's integrity and dedication to helping others.
I classify Kevin in the world of attorneys as a rare gem and find.
He's been a blessing on my journey 🙏

Ravi is a top-notch attorney. Very knowledgeable in the Heggstad petition and helped me so much during the process. He checked in often & kept me informed during the process. His cost was incredibly reasonable. I had two other consultations before I chose Ravi and I couldn't have asked for more. If you're in doubt, don't, hire him, you won't regret it.

Ravi helped us file a Heggstad Petition, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with his service. He was patient, attentive, and quick to resolve any issues. Ravi specializes in Heggstad Petitions and charges a flat fee. Most of the attorneys we contacted charge an hourly fee, but we appreciated the transparency of knowing the costs upfront. Another standout feature of Ravi’s service is his guarantee for petition approval—something we didn’t find with any other attorney.
Ravi was prompt, proactive, and completed the entire process in just three months, which was much faster than we expected. Thanks to his expertise, our petition was approved without any complications. We highly recommend Ravi to anyone needing an attorney for a Heggstad Petition, estate planning, or trust administration.

Bob and his team brought their wealth of experience and expertise when handling my case. I wasn't happy with the outcome, but it's not at all their fault -- I have nobody to blame but myself. I am at least grateful that I have a chance to show the world how much remorse I have about my bad decisions; I'm only able to do this because I was able to stay out of prison. THAT part I do credit to Bob and his team!

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.
