Mr. Muller is the best lawyer I have ever hired! This guy is extremely knowledgeable about the law and knows how to treat his clients. Mr. Muller has excellent communication and he was more than willing to answer any questions that I had. If I called him and he wasn’t available the day never ended without him returning my call. I recommend Garon Muller for anyone that wants a fighter and looking to receive excellent service. Without Mr. Muller’s hard work I stood the chance of being paralyzed for life! Mr. Muller got me the surgery that I needed. I can’t express the level of respect I received from Burnside Law Firm! I will never hire anyone except Garon Muller!

Mrs. McLeod represented me in a medical malpractice case I was involved in. It was my first time being sued and so I had no clue what to expect. From the time of our initial contact, Mrs. McLeod not only did an amazing job representing me, but also explaining the "process" and helping me navigate through this immensely stressful situation for the first time. Her professionalism was exceptional, but what really surprised me was her empathy and compassion. I could truly tell she wanted a good outcome for me almost as a friend would hope things went well for me. She did amazing and helped me get a great outcome in my case. I would have no problem strongly recommending Mrs. Mcleod.

Bill Keogh was very helpful in resolving an issue between myself and the Ashbrooke HOA. The Association tried to deny my right to fly/display the American Flag. After many failed attempts to resolve this myself, with only one attempt from Mr. Keogh, the issue was resolved without taking the HOA to court. He is very helpful, knowledge and quick to respond to my request.

In this "Age of Communication" where responding is virtually impossible NOT to achieve, the Evans, Ga. branch of this Law Firm are professionals at being rude and condescending. It does not take 7 days to pick up a phone and return a phone call unless your building was demolished by a tornado. Professional courtesy, due diligence and good manners have not been displayed to (us). I have no doubt that others have had a better experience therefore I would have to say that prejudice falls into play here. To choose and select whom to help and dismiss others due to the size of the "purse" is immoral and unethical.

I met with Nathan in regards to pursuing litigation against my HOA. When I met with Nathan he seemed extremely interested in pursuing my case. We had clear evidence of mismanagement of HOA funds and both agreed this was worth taking on. We agreed on a set initial price of 1,000 dollars for Nathan to send my HOA a certified letter demanding for my HOA to disclose their financials records (this is required by law for them to do so.) Upon leaving his office, Nathan advised me that if I didn’t want to pay all 1,000 up front, he’s completely fine with monthly installments while the initial phases were getting underway. Although we didn’t agree on any set monthly amount, I was unsure of Nathan’s record and skill as an attorney, so not knowing what to pay, I decided to go with 250.00 a month.
Over the next 30 days all Nathan did was send an email to my HOA requesting their financials. My HOA essentially laughed at him and never replied. During this time I checked in with Nathan to explore what our options were going forward if they didn’t respond. Nathan was vague about his explanation and stated he would send a certified letter to them advising them that they had 14 days to respond. 14 days came and went, they simply continued ignoring us. 16 more days went by now approaching the 60+ day mark, I pay another 250 dollars. Nothing still was done.
At this point it’s almost 75 days in, and I again ask Nathan what’s the delay in him sending the certified mail. Nathan then completely changes gears saying he doesn’t think we have enough information to do anything, despite him making his case clearly to me and my HOA that they were in violation of by-laws by not providing us with the financial documents. Despite these crystal clear facts, Nathan then advised me that he would need 5,000 dollars up front in order to be comfortable going forward with the case and discussing pre-trial.
Having seen Nathan’s lackluster performance thus far (having not even sent the certified letter in 60+ days) I advised Nathan that I wasn’t confident in his performance thus far and would only be comfortable paying 5,000 on a contingency basis if we were to win the case (plus whatever fees he required) as any reputable attorney who’s confident in their abilities would do. After sending that email, Nathan emailed me the next day stating he would no longer be able to help me with my case.
I cannot explain the rapid change in confidence and behavior, maybe he was intimidated by facing a company of this size? Either way, he got completely cold feet and stated he wanted out. Despite my immense frustration with my time and money being wasted this whole time, I accepted his resignation and requested my 500 dollars back because he decided to part ways with me not holding up his end of the bargain which was sending the certified letter.
After seeing that I requested my money back, he claimed he was charging me by the hour (which we never agreed upon) and apparently typing up his two paragraph email came to 500+ dollars worth of “labor”. Seeing how Nathan failed to meet our agreed upon goal I pushed back and advised that if he wanted to take advantage of my kindness, I would simply contact my bank and file a dispute of the charges for services failing to be rendered.
After sending that email Nathan called me and began screaming and cursing at me. He was using Profanity that I haven’t heard since I was in the Navy. Seeing this come from a “lawyer” was quite shocking I must say. After repeated requests for him to stop cursing at me, he then accused me of being poor. He said: “You couldn’t even afford the first 1,000 how are you going to afford 5,000 more?” Laughing in the irony to myself that it was HIS recommendation for installments. After more yelling he finally agreed to give me my money back. My recommendation? Find a lawyer that’s reputable and knows their stuff. This guy was hitting out of his league and decided to blame me for his failure.

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.
