Ms Bryant is excellent. She was with us on a long journey to reach a settlement. She is organized and smart. She has a great style. She is firm when she needs to be and flexible but never obnoxious. Her ethics put her above the rest. Couldn't be more pleased. She took on a case that was done poorly by our last attorney and turned it around for us.

I am writing to recommend Tim Lee for legal work. Tim has been my company’s go-to person for legal matters for over seven years. We have used him to draft, review and negotiate contracts on multiple occasions and have always been pleased with the results. He has handled our trademark and copyright filings and advised us on how to protect the intellectual property we have. Tim has also been very helpful with employment matters. He drafted our human resources policies and procedures manual and we regularly consult with him on employment agreements and other matters as they arise.
We have had several matters come up over the years that could have easily ended up in a courtroom, but Tim helped us avoid it. Some lawyers seem eager to file a lawsuit when a contract dispute arises, but Tim works with us, our clients and vendors in an effort to resolve our problems in a manner that minimizes cost and is most effective for us.
In addition, unlike other lawyers, Tim has taken the extra step of learning how our business operates and what our priorities are. We are very pleased with the legal service Tim provides us and hope to keep him as our attorney for many years to come.
Sincerely,
Scott
President/Founder

I met Jenny informally at a meeting and immediately liked her as a person. Our introduction was a lucky coincidence as I had just started a business and happened to be seeking legal advice. I was confident that I could easily find a well qualified and talented lawyer, but I wanted more than that. My business is my passion and my life and I wanted somebody that would treat it as such. Jenny stood out in a crowd of professionals as she was friendly, down to earth, and had a warm, welcoming demeanor. I honestly could not believe she was a lawyer. She is sharp, witty, and extremely intelligent, as many lawyers are, while also being a compassionate, kind human being with a wealth of knowledge and experience, which many lawyers are not. She is an exceptional lawyer and an exceptional person.
Lawyers become lawyers for many reasons, it seems like Jenny is a lawyer because she thoroughly enjoys it. It is her career, her service to the world, and her passion; it shows in her level of dedication to, and consideration for, her clients. She is an excellent educator and I applaud her for being so incredibly adaptable, yet solid in her values and limitations. She knows exactly what she is and is not willing to do in her practice, and is very straight forward with her intentions and statements.
Bottom line, she is an honest, trustworthy person and she is great at her job. She is exceedingly fast at writing documents, and is very efficient with her time. If you write her an email, you are guaranteed to hear back from her as soon as is humanly possible. In addition to providing superior legal protection for myself and my business, she also has a great personality, and manages to be incredibly fun while maintaing a high degree of professionalism. She has earned my business and my loyalty, and I plan to use her services for years to come.

I met Jenny when she was giving a presentation on ip, contracts and business formation at a tech entrepreneurs meetup. The presentation was quite good, and since I'm looking to start my own business, I took note, because I'd been on the lookout for a lawyer I could trust to understand these issues in the context of software development.
As it happens, I ended up landing some contract work, but felt really uncomfortable with the language in it, particularly regarding the ip. As a programmer, this is a really important area for me. Since it was my first time using a lawyer for this kind of thing and it was also a very small contract, I decided to try out oDesk but was pretty dissatisfied with the results.
After wasting a lot time and money, I decided to contact Jenny and to be honest, I'm really glad I did.
At this point, the employer was getting frustrated at how long it was taking to get the contract back to them and I was a bit desperate. I reached out to her, and she got back to me right away. We talked about my situation and concerns about the contract, and she got started immediately, even meeting me on the weekend to handle some paperwork. After a quick turnaround, she walked me through all her changes on the phone, explaining her rationale and patiently explaining points that I didn't understand. Personally I appreciated this, since I always look to increase my understanding on top of getting what I need done.
Since it's in my nature, even though I was having a lawyer look at the document, I did a lot of research on my own regarding software contracts, and what should be in them. Having never done this before, I wanted to be more informed, and I'm glad I did, since it allowed me to gauge that the work done for me off of oDesk was not high quality. That being said, I was feeling pretty skeptical when I hired Jenny, but I couldn't have been more happy with the end result.
She was able to tell me what wasn't standard, what was missing, alter language to make the contract more fair for me and even pointed out certain language that I thought I understood, but I guess in a court of law, does not mean what I think. At the end of it I was quite happy. As unfair as the contract started out, I felt very confident in the end result.
Throughout the whole thing, I felt she understood where I was coming from as a programmer, which was the most important thing to me. I tried to go the cheap route with oDesk and got what I paid for. After going with Jenny, I feel like I got more than I paid for. I'll definitely be going back to her when I need a lawyer in the future.

Carolyn went above and beyond for my case. She made sure to have all the information and facts to best represent me. She was able to make this whole process as easy as possible. Providing excellent guidance and knowledge. I know that I would not have had the same outcome with any other lawyers representation. Carolyn didn't hesitate to seek advise on very specific, yet difficult, parts of my case to insure that she represented me to the fullest existent. As challenges arose they were met head on by her willingness to go the extra mile. She was always professional and made sure to keep me informed throughout the entire case. I have full trust in her knowledge and capabilities. I would not hesitate to hire Carolyn for any legal matters in the future.

Okay, so I made a mistake and got myself into a situation. I was dealing with crazy stuff. I was thinking about the situation all the time, waking up in the middle of the night, work was suffering and in short, life sucked. After putting it off for too long - I called Lance. He calmed me down immediatley, listened, asked for some stuff and went to work. Next thing I know we are settling this thing and now it's all just history. I would fully recomend Lance without hesitation, he is an excellent lawyer and an all around really great guy.
Cheers,

Brooks Schuelke was a huge asset in helping me win back my
music property from a company in Los Angeles that had broken their contractual agreements with me. With finesse, clarity, and swift legal attention, Mr. Schuelke was able to end what had become a huge headache (and heartache) so that I could move forward with my master recordings that I had licensed but completely owned. I would wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Schuelke without a moment's hesitation.

I am a lawyer and represented plaintiffs in a breach of contract case. We used Houchins to help w/ a half-day mediation session with good results at a reasonable price. He was good at understanding the issues, getting to the point in the short time available and bridging the gap between the parties. If I ever need another mediator in Austin, I will call him.

I have used David for various oil/gas concerns over the years (for contractual and litigation purposes). He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and easy to work with. While I don't always like what I hear, I know the advice given is always, without a doubt, in my best interest. He is top notch in the Oil/Gas field and I have the utmost trust and respect for his work. There has been more than one occasion when his knowledge and insight has secured & saved negotiations and business deals. David has also provided great mediation services. He has always been forthright and professional in all situations, my many thanks go out to this guy.

Ms. Griffiths assisted me with my divorce, I believe that I was in the best possible hands during this unpleasant time. She was kind and professional and everything went just as I would hope even exceeding our own personal hopes for success. We were dealing with a custody dispute and international concerns and Ms. Griffiths was knowledgeable and concise. I will be forever grateful for her representation.

Jack recently represented us in a CPS trial. It was a tricky case that involved another family as well as our own. We were terrified but Jack absolutely came through for us. Neither myself nor my husband had ever been involved in any sort of legal problems before and he was there for us every step of the way. As awful as our situation was, we thought there was no way we would lose our case because we hadn't done anything wrong. After an initial hearing (with another attorney that was friends with Jack and referred us after the first hearing), we realized just how serious our situation was. Apparently civil cases don't need the burden of proof that criminal cases do to convict, and with our children being threatened, well, there just aren't words for what we felt. Jack walked us through the entire process and his knowledge on the topic of family law was intimidating to say the least. I hope that no one ever has to experience what our family experienced but if you do, you could not place your trust in a more deserving individual. He absolutely knows what he is doing.
Just to add, I will say that we were initially put off by his office because I think we expected some nice, spacious room with a bunch of furniture that never gets used, plants all over the place, etc., and I think we called him entirely too often because of our inexperience with attorneys but he was never impatient with us and always returned our calls as soon as he was able. Oh, and for anyone familiar with CPS, even though we lost the initial hearing, our case was, for all intents and purposes, over only a month later. Even though we didn't have another hearing for 6 months, we did everything Jack asked us to which showed the Judge that we had nothing to hide. CPS allowed our children home well before the closing date of our case.

When you are faced with hiring a litigator, often it is under unpleasant circumstances. During a particularly frustrating business situation which required corporate legal counsel, I was referred to the Beverly Hills Litigation Group and specifically to Moze Cowper.
Mr. Cowper has a sharp mind that seems to constantly be thinking 16 steps ahead as well as a quick wit and an easy demeanor that kept my team and I smiling through a difficult time. His clear explanations of legalese as well as his razor sharp assessment of the opposition led us to a winning outcome.
Mr. Cowper offers a mix of wisdom and humor that sets him apart from any other counsel I have ever used. He is a brilliant legal mind and has gained my trust to the point that we have moved all of our legal work to BHLG. I cannot say enough about my experience with Mr. Cowper and feel extremely lucky to have him in my corner.

Ms. Welborn has represented me in several pieces of litigation and there are not enough superlatives I could use to express both my pleasure and gratitude for the work she has done on my behalf. She is hard-nosed when she needs to be with opposing counsel but also brings a sense of calm reason to every situation in terms of managing expectations for what possible outcomes could be reached.
She is willing to fight for her clients but not simply to build a file for her firm. She has consistently put the best interests of my company ahead of all else.
Ms. Welborn methodically prepares for the cases she handles and has always developed a legal strategy that is both workable and works.
In the end, if you find yourself in need of a litigator you want a pit bull that is savvy, compassionate, committed, intelligent and tenacious. Ms. Welborn is all of those things but, more importantly, she wins - which is never a bad thing.

Steven Levatino is one of the best attorneys I know of for a wide range of legal representation - from estate planning to aggressive litigation.
The corporate work he has done for my company has been highly professional, carefully researched and thought out, and quite successful. I have been particularly impressed by the level of his commitment to his clients, his personal integrity, his knowledge of the law, and his track record of legal victories. In my experience, he and his firm are dedicated to helping their clients meet their legal needs and, if necessary, to win in court.

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.
