Mr. Kuehne did not take any actions that were in my best interest. From outward appearances, one would believe he was representing the opposing party.
Mr. Kuehne talked to me in a harsh and condescending manner constantly. On multiple occasions he told me that we were attending hearings for certain purposes and upon arriving at court, he would meet me in the corridor, having entered into agreements with the opposing side and basically force me into stipulations adverse to my best interest.
The negative impact of Mr. Kuehne's representation has cost me the only assets I owned and I have zero quality to my life now.
Almost every communication with Mr. Kuehne was recorded or a third party was included because he was so abusive and lied so much that I relied on back up.
People are astonished by this counsel's neglect and abuse in the handling of what should have had a positive result for me financially.
On a couple of occasions he "quit" my case and within moments, he contacted opposing parties and informed them of actions that were being taken on my behalf. He would then put himself back in the role as my counsel.
On one occasion, after forcing me into a stipulation, he told me that my compliance was necessary because he "had to pay the firm's electric bill." He has also remarked after similar adverse stipulations that he "hated what he had to do for money."
Mr. Kuehne's bio states that he is a scholar and gentleman. That is hiprocracy. He is rude and sneaky.
Shy of pursuing legal remedies, there is no chance for even a normal existence for me. He sacrificed me and worked for opposing side. In fact, opposing party stated that Mr. Kuehne had been compensated on their behalf.
Mr. Kuehne's staff is very nice. It would be unsettling to find out that they are knowledgeable of his unscruptulous tactics.
I hope this post helps folks with choosing different counsel. I do not wish my outcome on anybody.
In closing, I do not know how Bruce Kuehne sleeps at night!

Working with Bruce and his team was such a positive experience. My case had a lot of history and involved work in multiple states. Bruce coordinated the entire process from start to finish with professionalism and integrity. I was kept up to date with the progress and options were presented to me so that I was able to make an informed decision. I appreciate the personal approach and the consideration for my individual needs.

Bruce handled my divorce. My divorce was atypical from the very beginning since my husband had made off with our financial records (long story). I hired Bruce because I had heard he was an excellent litigator; as it turned out, there was no litigation involved. He was also excellent at working a case through to completion. His drafting of the documents involved, alone, was copious work.
Bruce was patient and good-spirited throughout. He always responded to my phone calls promptly. He understood that it was an ordeal for me and that money was tight. Opposing counsel was most unpleasant, always raising a ruckus over some tidbit or another (like when he assigned an associate in his firm a small portion of my case) but I could still laugh her off -- I knew I had the better attorney in my corner.

I've worked in sales and in restaurants most of my young adult life. The most important rule I learned while doing so is that anything sales, anything even if it's an annuity is you're selling yourself. You might offer a service but in order to perform said service you sell your client on the idea of YOU. The ladies at reception don't seem to understand that concept at all, and if I was one of the attorneys who had those ladies as my assistants I would do some serious reevaluation. I've never been spoken to or disrespected the way I was by these women. I would highly recommend usinh any other ANY other litigation attorney.

Hired Mr. Bolton to handle medical case. He gave the case his full attention and worked hard to get a good result. He was steadfast in his representation and never backed down. The case was not easy, and the results were excellent.

I hired this firm and attorney to recover money on an investment I made in Tiger Manor Condominiums. My investment was at risk of great loss due to improper and posibly illegal behavior of Stirling Properties due to their recently purchased majority interest in Tiger Manor Condominiums and unauthorized changes they were making to the Condominium Regime. He continuously misrepresented the efforts he and the firm did on my behalf. I ended up loosing a lot of money due to their inability to correctly represent my interests.

Lazy is an understatement. This lady should not be allowed to educate law students. You have to constantly contact her to insist that she files documents in timely matter IF she answers or returns your call. Very costly for absolutely NOTHING. I hired Cynthia Reed to file my divorce as a result of her laziness, my divorce was granted in favor of the defendant because she did not answer his response to MY petition for divorce within the 15 days given by LAW (which she teaches) go figure. Of course all monies were due prior to filing, so things I requested in my petition weren't granted bc I was held in preliminary default. She worked against me, on my dime. Divorce was one of the hardest trials of my entire life. To go through something so life changing, you definitely want someone who has your best interest in mind. Don't hire Cynthia Reed.

She does not answer phone calls or respond to them in a timely manner. You have to call her for everything and she will only keep you in circles. She’s lazy and basically wants you to do everything yourself.

She was utterly unprepared for trial. In addition to her practice she teaches at the SUBR law school. All of our meetings took place here. I should have known when she missed an appointment that she had previously scheduled a d the rescheduled that she wasn't taking my case seriously, but she had agreed to a very cost effective retainer and I already had a trial date set. Although I filed for a custody agreement and made my goals clear, she ultimately didn't seem to be on my side. It felt more so that she was in favor of the mother getting custody that I should be satisfied with anything since I previously had nothing. I would not recommend her to anyone for a family court/father's rights case.

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.
