I had a very hard case and Mrs. Hipes and her team were on top of it all. She understood my case and her team made it much easier as I was going through a very long process. She even gave her options on wording and advise on what her thoughts were and made me feel important and heard. My case would have never been solved WITHOUT the professional, compassionate and legal minds of herself and her staff. This is the attorney and staff you want behind you when you feel you can't fight for yourself. I thank you Mrs. Hipes and your great people for helping me when I thought there was no end in sight. If you are reading this, PLEASE call her first. She is the law firm for you.

Mrs. Hipes dug right into my case. She quickly understood all the details and worked tirelessly to help me find a win. Prompt responses, carefully articulated, and with deep knowledge of the law. I could not have worked with a more kind, professional, and responsive person. As wonderful as she was to me, she was however very tough on the defendant; relentless to ensure they understood what truly happened to me, uncover the truth, and find resolution. I would absolutely recommend Mrs. Hipes for your case.

David E Oles is by far the most effective attorney that I have seen in action in the dealing of child custody. He worked tremendously well (using his Harvard education) enhancing my local counsel in Colorado with his excellent leadership helping the productivity of the time spent in the local court. I have been through a highly litigated divorce/battle for over 7 years as the result of trying to exercise my minimal court ordered time with my children against horrible opposition. I have never felt the court has completely heard my side or ruled in any way to assist me with this until now.
My children have been severely alienated and were used as weapons by their mother. It has been her goal to undermine, brainwash, lie, and do everything in her power to try and stop me from my weekend visitation with my children. She has used the school, church, friends, public court system, child protective services, restraining orders and numerous false police reports in attempt to achieve this and was very close to getting this done. Through the past three years I was reported to child protected services 9 times unfounded. These reports were carried out by a violence advocacy group counselor 6 times, 3 times by the mother and her friend’s. Previous court orders have only empowered the mother of my children to do this. When David entered my case in May of 2012 my oldest son was refusing to see me and the younger two were in the process of doing the same. From that time to date there were emergency motions to stop my vacation time with the children twice, once from the mother and once from a biased anti dad child legal representative.
All denied by a very wise magistrate. This would have never happened if David Oles didn't intervene with motions and repeals to protect my parenting time. In the final hearing there was contempt along with a motion to modify. David Oles went against 3 female attorneys (2 that specialize in high conflict custody from Denver) and a CLR (who was extremely biased against me) all with the goal to diminishing my time with the children to supervised parenting time and tripling my child support. They combined had twice the court time that we did. Under severe time constraints David got all the important evidence that the magistrate needed to hear and crossed every important point leaving the mother the liar that she is, exposing the un-ethical counselor for what she was and discrediting all of their witnesses. The opposing party had us two to one and left with their heads hanging and the truth prevailed which is not easy in this kind of case.
Thanks to David working with and leading local counsel, my parenting time is significantly increased and the following has been ordered to happen. The court has found alienation to exist by the mother (doesn’t happen often in my county).
My child support didn’t change in fact went down a little. We won a sanctions/contempt with double the make-up time and attorney’s fees. The un-ethical counselor was rejected by the court (no longer aloud to see the children and found to be coaching the children practicing dual relationships) with enough evidence to go after her legally if necessary. The mother is required to get therapy with the threat of custody change if she continues this behavior.
I feel that David E Oles is not just an attorney. He is an attorney that truly has found his niche or calling in life. He commands a presence against all odds in stubborn courts that have a hard time with doing things out of the norm of what “local society likes” and sees as correct. Man or women I would recommend him to either, my one regret is that I didn’t find him sooner.

Words alone cannot express just how great David Oles and his staff have been. A family member recommended I speak with him based on other professional recommendations. I have found his firm to surpass every expectation of service, professionalism, experience, knowledge, and attentiveness. He also has outstanding court room presence and is an amazing litigator. He has always been expertly prepared and has never failed to deliver less than exceptional performance. Due to an exceptionally violent and litigious ex-spouse with multiple personality disorders, the past decade has required me to be in court an unfathomable number of times. This has placed me in the unfortunate position of being able to offer a very informed opinion. While most of the attorneys I have worked with are very good and dedicated to their cases, David stands out as a true expert in comparison. He is a recognized expert by his peers, and that alone is worth its weight in gold. He has never failed to provide guidance when needed, and that is absolutely critical when the stakes are the safety and well being of your children. His staff is the best I've ever seen, hands down. David has not been just an attorney, but a true advocate for my family. I hope no one ever experiences the difficulties that we have, but should you find yourself in need of the very best, look no further than David Oles.

McCalla handled our files expertly, reasonably. Kent assigned files to an associate for economy, yet was always available and supervised the work. Years after we got a judgment, Kent personally tracked us down when funds were later available. Can't recommend this firm enough. Treated us like a substantial local client, though we're only a small mortgage investor, 700 miles away, and only had a few Georgia files. Their fees were fair, their approach was practical, and their results were excellent. What more could you want from a law firm? They all promise service. Kent & company delivered.

I JUST WENT THROUGH A BANKRUPTCY WITH MATTHEW BARRETT AS MY LEGAL REP. HE IS VERY DOWN TO EARTH AND ALWAYS HAD TIME FOR MY MANY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS. HIS OFFICE STAFF WAS ALSO WONDERFUL AND WOULD SIT AND GO OVER EXTRA INFORMATION WITH ME TO MAKE SURE I WAS UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS AND WHAT WAS NEEDED. HE PREPARED EVERYTHING THE COURT ASKED FOR RIGHT AWAY. I COULD GO ON AND ON. I AM JUST VERY GRATEFUL THAT DURING SUCH A DIFFICULT TIME WE HAD SOMEONE WE COULD TRUST AND THAT WAS DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR BEST INTEREST.

I am grateful to have had Mr. Calabro represent me. The circumstances surrounding my case were grim from the start nevertheless, he ensured that I was covered for my "day in court". Though my case did not have a favorable outcome, I endorse Mr. Calabro for doing a magnificent job with minimal resources in a metaphoric, David vs. Goliath scenario. The tenacity that he exhibited in arguing my case and in putting his record on the line speaks volumes for the great attorney that he is.

Mr Sanford WAS my lawyer for 6 month in a business litigation. He was signing legally binding agreement without our knowledge, surrendered sensitive documents without our permission (in fact we agreed not to expose these documents), and had a very limited narrow understanding for my case. We ended up in finding another law firm to limit the damages that Mr Sanford was causing to us.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You
A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer
Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases. -
How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.
How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer
To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
- Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
- Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:
- A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
- Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
- A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
- Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
- Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
