My experience with Alan Silverberg was very professional. He was knowledgeable and delivered exceptional service. He maintained a high level of composure throughout the very long, difficult, and expensive process of divorce. The outcome was not necessarily considered a "win," but was positive as I moved forward with my life.

Alan has been my attorney for 14 years in an on going custody case. He has always followed through with his promises and has always been professional. He is not only an excellent attorney, but also a friend who has been supportive these past emotional 14 years. There's no other attorney I will ever work with as long as he is in the family law business. Not only have I hired him as my attorney, my father has hired him as well to help with a workman's comp. complaint. My father was very pleased with his work as I am.
He's is the best of the best and knows the law in and out!

Amazing services! From my experience he went out of his way to get things handled and as quickly as possible. A weekend trip out of town turned into a two month stay In central booking with no bail and considered a flight risk. By our second court date I was on my way home! This man got up and educated the judge and the da on the law to the point they had to go over it in court, and realized at that point they no longer had a case due to an error on their side. When my case was dismissed and charges dropped the DA was not happy and said they would still be pursuing other route’s. When I made it back home the Da had already reopened new charges. I was states and states away and he put it to rest yet again. I was never charged everything was dismissed. He is definitely someone you want in your corner during a tough situation.

Ben’s professional expertise and calm demeanor are unimpeachable. Ben navigated many challenges during the course of my case, overcoming each twist through a combination of experience, analysis, research and well-articulated rebuttal. Our discussions were not just absent the “wall of arrogance” that too often accompany attorney / client interactions, they occasionally included a welcome dose of humor. I would recommend Ben to anyone seeking expertise with bankruptcy law.

Bill recently helped me through a Workers Comp case. He was extremely communicative, and as I struggled to understand the different elements involved in Workers Comp, he was reassuring and supportive. He never failed to answer any phone call or email, he demonstrated dedication to the specifics of my case with efficiency and concern for a good outcome. He also gave periodic updates as to how things were progressing at multiple points throughout the five months he represented me. His experience in this area of law is very helpful, as he was able to draw upon past experiences to guide us in the right direction. When you're going through a difficult case, and you add to that the Workers Comp piece, you want someone who communicates. Bill did, in spades. Couldn't recommend him more highly for all he did for me.

I hired Mr. Herbert to represent me because my employer discriminated against me and fired me because of my disability. He helped me file my case with the EEOC and then represented me in my court case. Not only did my job reinstate me but I got full backpay. I highly recommend this guy.

In life we never really expect to need an attorney. When/ if that time comes like most people I was scared of what to expect, the trustworthiness, the knowledge of my specific case, how long would this take.. All of my questions were answered, and answered timely. I never felt like I was "bothering him" Nick took time to understand my point of view, understand the case, he remembered facts. Yes part of this was "his Job" but above and beyond his job was the kind tone I heard on the other end of the phone each time I called, the rapid response of answering emails . The time he took to explain the details of my case to me. Law is not my area of expertise. I was confused and uneducated at times during this process, he made sure I understood each step of the way. He let me decide how to proceed with his guidance. He explained the benefit of each possible out come of my case. I never felt forced to make a decision to get my case over with. Each time a document that we were waiting on came in, I knew it arrived. When struggles arose in the case I was made aware of that as well. When appointments were needed, example a doctor appointment, I knew why it was needed and what to expect while there. When I had to sign documentation that looked like it was in a foreign language, because it used terms I did not understand, Nick broke down every sentence when I needed him to. He never treated me as though I was just a client, or beneath him if I did not understand what was happening he and his team always took time with me . I had a clear understanding of this process. Nick and his team were educated, helpful, understanding, and patient, . The guidance they provided went above what I expected.

Andrew Torrez is, in my opinion, one of the most knowledgable, kind hearted, and over all talented member of the legal profession I've ever had the privilege to come into contact with.
As the manager of a multimillion dollar company for 10 years I dealt with a lot of the "big" firms and lawyers with similar credentials to Andrew. Not ONE of them hold a candle to the personal touch, the kindness, and the general professionalism with which Andrew Torrez has and continues to handle my business.
From reviewing contracts, to managing my LLC, andrew is the first person I call...ALWAYS

Jeff was like the third lawyer I had for my case.

Dumped me off on Jeff. I think in Jeff coming and cleaning up was better than the others by far!

I recently worked with Scarlett Croll and Myers regarding a chapter 7 Bankruptcy and I worked mostly with Michael Myers. Both my husband and I are very thankful that Michael went above and beyond to take care of my case. He was not only thorough but he was compassionate, it really made me feel good to know that he was doing whatever it took to help me. The firm genuinely cares about their clients and that in itself was worth every penny we spent. My outcome was positive and I have them to thank!

I highly recommend Vadim Mzhen, Angelica Carliner, and their law firm, regardless of how large or small your case may be, whether straight forward or complicated. They have the knowledge, experience, patience, persistence, and network of medical experts to ensure you have the best outcome for your case, whether personal injury or the untimely and preventable death of a loved one. Vadim, Angelica, and the entire firm will work diligently to represent you.
Vadim and Angelica successfully represented me in a very complicated three-part wrongful death lawsuit against an Assisted Living Facility and its large insurance company, represented by a very large and prestigious law firm with tremendous resources.
At all times, Vadim and Angelica were accessible and very responsive to my questions and concerns, communicating directly with me to explain strategies and the legal process honestly and clearly. They kept me informed and explained the legalities as the case progressed, while maintaining compassion and sensitivity to my loss. They truly worked for me, achieving a very favorable outcome and they will do the same for any of their clients.
I will always contact Vadim and Angelica for any future legal needs I may have and I am so very grateful for their tireless and unrelenting efforts on my behalf and justice for my dear Mom. Thank you so very much!

Ms Griffith represented my son in a criminal matter. I was extremely nervous and fearful of the whole ordeal and she made me feel so much more at ease after hiring her. She explained everything and told us all the possible outcomes and allowed my son and I to play an active role in his case. The charges were ultimately reduced and his record is clean. I was very happy with her services.

After six months of handling my own case I decided to seek outside help. Based on recommendations I called a handful of attorneys. The office of Mr. Ostad was the only one who readily had a paralegal available despite the fact it was Friday afternoon when most other offices were closed. Within a few minutes I was speaking directly with Daniel P. Connors an Associate at Ostad Law. Mr. Connors helped put things in perspective and immediately offered a lot of comfort.
For months I've gone at it alone and now I feel like I have an army to back me up. I usually turn to attorney Erica Bazzell whom I've known for 25 years for my legal dealings. I met her while she was still a law student at Columbia University Law School. Needless to say, turning to anyone other than Ms. Bazzell was difficult. However, my case is in Baltimore City and Ms. Bazzell is licensed to practice in Philadelphia not Baltimore. Based on recommendations I got in touch with Mr. Ostad's office and I'm glad I made the right decision.
My case involves a distribution broker hired by General Mills. I'm 100% confident that Mr. Ostad and Mr. Connors are more than capable to take on corporate giants without missing a beat. Moreover, I feel I can rest easy and not be sold out. The firm has my best interest in mind.

I've been working all of my adult life--40 years-- and it was not easy for me to have to admit defeat and file for bankruptcy. Joe (Selba) made it easier to face. He is so warm, personable, professional, knowledgeable, caring, trustworthy, sincere and honest. He laid out my options and we discussed and pros and cons of each possibility. Joe's commitment to excellence -- a job well done -- strong work ethic, is reviled by none. Joe (Selba) is my "goto" person for all matters legal. I feel that I not only have an Attorney for life, but a friend for life. I want to be very clear -- this is NOT a paid endorsement. This is first person, honest, from the heart! Thank you Joe for everything! With all good wishes for good health, lasting love and prosperity to you and your family! Always, Amy

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.
