Mrs. Diamond handled my case professionally and delivered all communication to the Medical Board in a way that was respected and well received. I had a unique situation, but she took everything in stride and never made me feel as if there was judgment. I could not have asked for better representation.

Mr. Ray will give you the best advice for your situation. It may not be what you want to hear, but Mr. Ray will not sugar coat anything just to get you to be his client then learn about your case on your dime. Integrity is a trait that I value greatly when it comes to human interactions. Our innate behavior tends to make us want to trust people when we are in need of help. Mr. Ray fully understands this and will tell you honestly he is not the attorney for your case if there is a more suitable match elsewhere. Mr. Ray is also very attentive to respond to phone calls and e-mails, which is important when minutes seem like hours when you are in that situation. If you are looking for an attorney with integrity and professionalism, Jason Ray will not disappoint.

The first meeting I had with Bryan Forman, I knew he was the one I hoped to have represent me in pursuing funds (mostly retirement)
I was not able to get returned by a broker I had done business with for over 10 years. At age 70, I discovered that I had been taken for a ride. Not only could I not get to my money, I could not get any records either, nor was the broker's company or FINRA any help.
Bryan listened, and was able to explain to me exactly what the laws say, what rules and regulations are applicable, and what he could and could not do to help me recover any money. I certainly did not hide my anger since I had already been trying to deal with the broker for 2 years. Bryan, however, acknowledged my frustrations while keeping the focus on recovery of funds. I found that he was very honest in what the actual possibilities were, and I always felt that he was working for my best interest.
I cannot overemphasize how Bryan's knowledge of how a brokerage business works (he formally owned one himself) affected my case. In mediation he brought up a policy that brokerages have that even the experienced, opposing attorney didn't know about which ultimately helped my case and brought some restitution!
I always found Bryan available for consultation and I certainly appreciated his willingness to explain things to me. This was also
true of his assistant, Melody Bounds.
As a result of having Bryan as my attorney, I have received some restitution with a possibility of more to come.

Appears to have excellent knowledge of the laws and procedures that were or could have been utilized in my case. Has many outside contacts locally and nationally to contact for information and for second opinions. Bryan did a good job of presenting, or formatting my case to work best for me. He presented the case well in mediation and linked people to the liability side, beyond the first level. If there was anything that Bryan might have done better, it would be in the area of the settlement amount. The individuals, that were liable in the case, gave there financial positions, which was broke, none of which was truly validated. Settlement amounts were partially based on these, unsubstantiated claims.

Bruce is a terrific attorney and a great guy. He represented my case with true professionalism. He will stand firm when he needs to, but he understands the value of fairness and compromise, as well. It was my pleasure to have Bruce represent my legal needs. There should be a 6th star category for him.

I had the occasion to consult with Bruce regarding a real estate ownership issue as it related to a minority stockholder, and also an insurance question. I felt that Bruce was thorough in his research and knowledge of those subject matters, and gave advice consistent with what was in my best interest. I feel Bruce can be aggressive when he needs to be, but understands the compromise necessary in daily life. Bruce is an accomplished litigator, and was referred by another lawyer who felt Bruce was more qualified in the litigation area.

I hired Jared Greathouse at the suggestion of my CPA.
Jared helped me with numerous years of R+D Credit to save 10s of thousands on my Tax Returns. He went above and beyond in communicating with the IRS when they wanted additional information.
In additional, we consulted with him over several real estate concerns. I found him to be friendly, knowledgeable, and probably the best attorney that I have worked with.
Thanks Jared.

I was referred to Tracy by a corporate attorney and I am writing in now to express my sincere thanks to Tracy for her outstanding lawyer services on my case. I had a complicated civil court case related to custody that went on for far too long in the county court (it was so very stressful) and then resulted in my needing to file bankruptcy (which just added to even more stress), following also an appeals filing to the custody case, as well. The long-story short of it, is that it was a complicated and exhausting process that went on for months & months and I just needed a trusted legal counselor who could help me get to the proper resolution and allow me to gain peace-of-mind. I obtained Tracy's expertise because she came highly recommended and has experience in complicated cases related to appeals and bankruptcy matters; and frankly, I needed her to oversee a couple of attorneys who were not operating at a trustworthy and responsive pace in order to finalize matters on the case(s) to proper resolution. From the moment I talked with her, I could tell she was going to keep me informed, handle the processes correctly and efficiently and the questions she asked me and comments & feedback she provided gave me the up-front confidence that she is very knowledgeable and was going to handle the process all the way through. I needed to get matters finalized and properly executed and Tracy did exactly that (AND she left me with the open-door policy that if anything else was to show up that was concerning, that all I needed to do is reach out to her again to get her legal advice and assistance, if needed, to address it). And for clients, this is a great peace-of-mind. Tracy is one of those elite attorneys who gives the profession of law a great name. What you see and receive from Tracy in professional, dedicated service is what one would expect and hope to get for legal representation.....and that is 200%. I am thankful that I was able to be introduced to her, and I definitely recommend Tracy Willi! And thank you for allowing me to post a review.

Going through a divorce is hurtful but when your ex-spouse goes out of his way to be extremely hateful I knew I made the right decision with Kathryn and Melanie. They were worked with me virtually from Mississippi for the entire process. I highly recommend Savrick, Schumann, & Johnson for anyone needing a divorce lawyer. Kathryn was successful in reaching a settlement and closing this chapter of my life. I’m in such a better place now and moving on with my life.

Dealing with a post divorce child custody suit, I was very pleased with the team of Jim and Taylor through Walters Gilbreath. Taylor provided excellent feedback, and communication throughout, and made sure that I could understand what everything meant, and what it meant to me. He made sure that I had a very realistic and accurate outlook at how the case would develop and an accurate prediction of the conclusion. This is something that I had not had during the divorce process with other representation, and it made all the difference in how I felt about the outcome of this case. I would absolutely recommend Taylor as solid and dependable representation in family law cases, and can speak to the hard work he puts into it.

I contacted Chris asking for some advice on political project I am working on.

I will definitely be using Chris in future if I need further legal advice.

I served as campaign manager for Deb Fischer for U.S. Senate and Chris provided legal counsel to the campaign. He did a great job of answering my questions in a clear and timely manner. It was particularly refreshing to have a lawyer who was very responsive to email or phone calls. He almost always returned emails or calls within an hour, which is very helpful in a hectic political campaign. I would strongly recommend him to someone looking for attorney.

I hired Neema Amini to assist me with a complicated and contentious contract dispute. In our initial consultation it was clear to me I had found my advocate. He was able to quickly assess my situation and develop an effective action plan which we used to come to a resolution. The negotiations took time but he was patient and diligent in ensuring I received a fair settlement.
Neema Amini provided me with professional and courteous representation so I was not taken advantage of. I would highly recommend him if you need representation.

25 Mar, 2014 by Henry
Mr. Amini (though he would insist I call him Neema) is an aggressive and reasonable attorney. By that i mean he has no problems going toe-to-toe with opposing counsel and seems to be downright, coldly comfortable when things get heated. But he is reasonable too, does not lose sight of what the other side might be thinking, and seems to be concerned more with solving your problem than dragging out a case and billing for it.
I hired Mr. Amini because of a dispute with a business partner of 20 years. While we never had any conflicts before, suddenly all we had were conflicts and because we did business on a handshake basis, we did not have documentation for most of our agreements. While Mr. Amini explained I should get everything in writing in the future, he was able to establish the existence of previously denied agreements when grilling my partner in deposition.
Once we had done that, we were in a much better place to settle, and Mr. Amini explained that while we could possibly get more money if we pushed on further, I would end up spending most of that on increased legal fees, and so he suggested I consider settling. I was originally pretty emotional and wanted to go for the win, but I was surprised Mr. Amini suggested something which would mean less legal fees for him. So I discussed it with my wife, we agreed that we would be better off settling and so we did. He negotiated a great settlement for me and my company and now I turn to Mr. Amini for any legal questions I have. I feel like I have found my attorney for life.

I hired Mr. Amini for two cases, the first one somewhat involved and the second relatively simple.
In the first case, which went to trial, Mr. Amini was brilliant with his closing argument. We being the Plaintiff, I expected opposing counsel to speak last, but the judge surprised me by giving us the opportunity for a rebuttal. If Mr. Amini was surprised, he didn't show it, doing a great job with the rebuttal as well.
We won the case. Mr. Amini's preparation complemented his abilities, even working through a holiday the day before trial. I think he really enjoys winning.
As I said, the second case was relatively simple, but it was more important to me and needed to be dealt with quickly (in about a day). I don't know what Mr. Amini had on his calendar when I called, but he was able to work it in and scale back his approach to what was appropriate. Another thing to consider was that the "opposition" was not hostile and could be trusted. Mr. Amini was able to provide reasonable advice, represent me and get what I wanted without alienating anyone.
I feel like I made a new friend. This is just a great guy to have on your side. But look at that photo. Look at that Spock-like exterior. That's what he's like in person when he's working on your case. He's all business, not someone you would want to go up against.

Alex and his team reviewed my case, gave me options, and then went above and beyond to win my case. They kept me informed and up-to-date every step of the way. They gave me advice, opinions, suggestions, etc that they considered to be the best choices. I believe my attorney had new law written because of his diligence in fighting for me! I couldn't be happier with what Alex Conant and John de la Vina did for me and my case.

For anyone who is unsure about seeking legal aid, my first choice would be to send them to Alex's practice. He's especially skilled when it comes to putting a situation in layman's terms and easing the mind of an average Joe. It's something that can soothe anyone's intimidation of the legal process, and give you more confidence. If you're honest, explain your situation, and help him by keeping all your details sorted, then he should be able to help you knock the issue out.
In my opinion, the true measure of any legal practitioner's merit is their ability to apply it in any situation necessary. Anyone can find a dusty bitter old attorney who is painfully adept in the courts, but is devoid of any compassion. It's almost impossible to find an attorney who is just as skilled but can also serve as an emissary for those who are downright daunted.
I was super relieved after receiving his help, and am very grateful for the peace of mind I now have. I've always had a bit of a phobia regarding the courts and dealing with lawyers, but thankfully I've found an honest and relatable practitioner that I know I can trust. I don't often run into any situations where I can utilize his assistance, but I never hesitate to send my friends and colleges his way whenever they're in a bind.
Long story short, go see Alex. He's a really cool dude and knows his stuff!

John represented me in a divorce litigation involving complex business valuation issues that involved two depositions and a final two day trial. John's complete command of the financial and accounting issues in this case ensured that our narrative was communicated in a clear and easily understandable way to the court. John was a strident advocate for my rights in this case and I would strongly recommend John in any case involving complex business issues. John truly stands out among his peers as one of the finest attorneys in Austin, Texas.

To whom it may concern:
John Jacks represented my wife and I in a lawsuit against our builder. I’ve had many dealings with other attorneys and other firms through the years both in a personal and in a professional capacity. I can’t say enough kind words about John nor can I proclaim enough accolades regarding his services. Instead, here are the material facts that I think most appropriately differentiate John from other attorneys:
1) Responsiveness and Customer Service: Rarely did my phone calls (which often occurred daily) go to voicemail and when they did, he almost always called me back before he left for the day. For me this is very important because in my dealings with other attorneys, I’ve always been made to feel like my business wasn’t appreciated and that my calls were unimportant. It’s the complete antithesis with John, and I’m grateful for this.
2) Practicality. John guided us through the process, always with any eye toward the “end game.” Where I might have wanted to pursue a different course, he helped me consider the cost-benefit of the course and adjust our strategy accordingly. To this end he would often consider my ideas for strategy and was never arrogant or dismissive. He was always resourceful, never hesitating to get 2nd and even 3rd opinions from within or outside his firm, hence, he was also seeking out the best strategy.
(3) Aggressiveness. Our builder like many others was as slick as they come, a true deviant with a sophisticated criminal mind. John recognized this early on when problems began to arise. Fortunately for us he had the foresight to pen agreements with the builder so that if anything went awry, as they did, the builder would be personally liable, negating any protections that would have otherwise been afforded to him through his sham construction company. John is a nice guy, soft spoken, personable and kind but don’t let his pleasant demeanor fool you. When it comes time to contest something—in our case, arbitration—John is as tough as they come. In our case, John sought and obtained an arbitration award that included findings for fraud, deceptive trade practices, and several other causes of action, with an award of punitive damages, as well all attorney fees.
(4) Preparedness. John brought in expert witnesses and compiled evidence binders over 200 pages thick. I was frankly in awe. During the arbitration hearing, the builder was lying and contradicting the testimony he gave in his deposition. I exaggerate not in pointing out that John called this builder out on every instance, always prefaced with “let’s go back to you deposition, page …”. John ran circles around this conman and when doing so, only then did I realize how John had anticipated his responses, evidenced by the very questions he had previously asked during the deposition. It’s no exaggeration when I say that during the arbitration, John already new exactly where to turn to in the transcripts!
(5) Reputation. While I have only my experience to go on, it appeared to me that John is well respected by his colleagues in the legal profession, including judges, mediators, arbitrators, and opposing counsel. John was courteous and respectful throughout, and his professional colleagues were respectful and courteous in return and treated him as the honest and ethical attorney he is.

When I first met John, I was worried because my ex-husband had hired a very well known lawyer from Bell Co who has a reputation for raking people of the coals. I was fooled! John is a very polite gentleman with proper manners and ethics. Do not let that fool you. He is a hard worker, very knowledgeable and trustworthy lawyer. I was so emotional during this time, but John was so patient with me. He encouraged me and gave me great advice along the way. He also reminded me he was looking out for me and was going to get me the very best settlement.
John worked late hours and on weekends preparing for court, deposition and mediation. He did not put up with Carol Prater's rude and sarcastic attitude during these meetings. John is very strong at advocating when we went to court and also when we went to mediation. He is a strong negotiator. The end results I received a very good settlement.
The firm of Gray and Becker are so lucky to have John along with his legal assistant Susan Jennings. Susan has taken my calls on weekends and helped me though a few bumps in the road. Not just with getting John informed but to talk me though a melt down or 2!!!
I hope whoever reads this never goes though a devastating divorce like I have, but if you do John is on all levels the person to call. He did not want to just keep dragging this on unnecessarily to trail just for extra money and the extra emotional stress on me. Which is what the other lawyer, Carol was hoping to do.
John traveled to Williamson Co. for court and mediation. Thank you John for all you have done. At this time, I see a new path in my future. I can not thank him and say enough about his good hard work.

I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the superb legal work and representation I received from the attorneys and staff at the TROILO LAW FIRM. I was nervous about my court case; yet their preparation and depth of knowledge about housing contracts and real estate litigation put me at ease, and made things go smoothly with the Judge. The outcome was very favorable, even better than I expected. I have worked with attorneys in the past, but none with the professionalism and dedication of Mr. Troilo and his team.

I recently needed a lawyer for a real estate matter. I was referred to Walter by a Real Estate agent I trusted. I am glad she did. While a lot of firms would have looked at my case and said “You were wronged, but there isn’t enough money in this for us.” Walter, even though he is a high-powered attorney, looked at it as “You were wronged and that upsets me, let’s do something about it.” He cut through all the common hour building legal processes and got to the heart of the matter quickly and efficiently. We asked that he work towards a quick resolve so that we did not have to relive our problem for an extended period. He understood and got us a quick and satisfactory resolution. During this time, I came to really like Walter as a person. He is a good man with strong ethics. If I need a lawyer again for any reason, I will call Walter first.

Our trucking company hired Walter and his firm to defend against a non-compete claim. Walter took a single deposition, filed a summary judgment motion and the other side ended up paying our attorney’s fees. On other occasions, he successfully defended against wage and hour claims. On still other occasions, we were able to resolve matters without litigation. I’m impressed by his ability to cut through the legal nonsense and get results that makes sense. Walter is comfortable in a board room or a job trailer. Walter and his firm are the only attorneys we call when litigation rears its head.

“I was a partner in an energy business. When I left, the partnership was supposed to pay me the fair value of my interest. Instead, the remaining partner wanted to pay about 10% of that value. We had to file a lawsuit, but within a few months, Walter got the case settled at a value that made sense and significantly more than my ex-partner proposed. Walter took the time to learn the facts. He knew the law cold, particularly with respect to how courts interpret contracts. I highly recommend Walter and his Firm.”

I hired Mr. Walters to handle a case dealing with an apartment complex that failed to provide services regarding an issue with hot water. The case went to trial. I have dealt with and hired many lawyers over my years. Personally, I have never experienced a lawyer who is so diligent in their works. Mr. Walters did much case law research and was extremely prepared for trial. During trial he brought forth excellent argument and handled himself in a professional manner. Mr. Walters, I applaud you for your efforts in my case. You did a fantastic job and thank you.

While going through a trying experience I was lucky to have found David Walters. He is positive, supportive and knowledgeable and did whatever he had to do to win my case. His positive interaction with other attorneys and judges was nice to see because it seemed like he was well regarded by his peers. To feel in control of an uncontrollable situation is a rare thing, and he made me feel that way. I don't usually write reviews but a I had to comment about an attorney that is honest and has a lot of integrity.

I contacted Lessie based on her feedback and reviews on AVVO, and I couldn't have been happier with how responsive and upfront she was.
My case was very complicated as it involved a different attorney who did not live up to the expectations of the legal profession and Lessie was more than understanding.
She is an intelligent, caring, and compassionate person who will tell you the facts up front.
If I ever have another case, I would definitely contact her again in the future!
Thank you!

I spoke with Lessie. She couldn't help me but referred me to someone that could. It was awesome how she took the time to hear me out, and so quickly too. It was only a matter of hours before I heard from her.

As a business owner for almost 20 years, I have had my fair share of attorney relationships.
Having Lessie on my team on a recent case has truly given me restored faith in the profession.
She genuinely strived for the best possible outcome no matter what.
Not once did I doubt she had my back throughout the year long process of hearings, depositions, final negotiations & settlement.
It's a huge "added bonus" that she is also extremely thorough and made sure that all documentation had every "t" crossed & "i" dotted.
Don't let this pretty lady fool you, she is relentless and will stand up for you against the best of them, with whatever comes your way.
I am eternally grateful! Friend for life!

When we started expanding our construction business statewide we were very fortunate to meet Mr. George. He was referred to us from the bank that was providing the financing for our work and also from our accountants. The bigger our company grew, the more sucessful we became, the more we found people, that did not want to pay us. One strategy to beat us out of our money, was to sue us for "Deceptive Trade". We personally believed that in the end it was not about the money but defending our reputation and our brand. Mr George believed it was all three. Keeping our hard earned money, our reputation, and protecting our brand. We have a perfect record. Not only have we not lost a case in court, we made history in Bell county by becoming the first company that was sued for "Deceptive Trade" and not only winning our case, but also having the jury find the case completely groundless on any level and to award us our attorney fees. That my friends is unheard of in an age of consumer protection. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Mr. George's articulate and professional behavior has always come through.

I am a financial damage expert and have used James George as my personal attorney and as well as worked with him as an expert witness. I have been retained as an expert by numerous extremely competent attorneys and I have found James to be one of the best. Most recently, he handled a business case for me that involved breach of fiduciary responsibility by the opposing party. He successfully handled this case in a highly professional manner. I use James as my personal attorney and recommend him to anybody who has need of competent, honest counsel..

I had a business relationship with several other persons involving multiple high dollars projects. For years I not get the to deal with us in a fair and expeditious manner. I had tried a couple of other lawyers without success. I hired Mr. Burk and his firm. He was able through a lawsuit and negotiation to restructure my companies relationships, so I would be fairly treated and receive more money from the transactions. Moreover, he negotiated a major discount for us, if paid within the extended time he also negotiated.All of this resulted in my getting a far better economic result than we had hoped. I can highly recommend Mr. Michael Burk and the Burk Law Firm PC to others.

The Burk Law firm represented me in a complex Federal contracts fraud case. MIchael and his team of lawyers did an excellent job in researching, preparing and timely filing of the lawsuit as well as supporting the DOJ in their efforts to understand the full facets of the recent laws applicable to this complex case. Michael is an excellent communicator, and I came to understand that he had my best interests in the forefront of all of the legal efforts. I would absolutely use Burk Law firm again and recommend Michael highly.

The Burk Law firm was very professional and extremely knowledgeable in the contracts and agreements area. They have assisted us with our corporate contract reviews and have brought to our attention several areas of concern, which we would not have identified. Their responsiveness to our requests has also been very appreciative, because some of the partners we deal with need the contracts/agreements turned around in a couple of business days.

my case took 3 years. Arva and the entire staff always calmed me telling me we had the truth. I was always kept informed of events. I always knew we had only a minor accident, but OTHER attorneys were ambulance chasers. Melissa White and Arva Renya took it to another level. they had to protect me and my company. They worked LATE into the night, skip lunch on trial days, never seen any team work so well together. I will never forget these mighty women, and hope there company won't.

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.
