Jim Ball worked with me thoroughly and professionally through my troubled times and was exceptionally understanding of my feelings in the matter. I received Jim's contact from multiple friends who went through a similar situation and I am grateful they connected me with him. For anyone reading this, mistakes happen and we hope to learn from them, but in a time where one is stuck with the consequences of their decisions I would highly recommend Jim Ball to help you navigate the legal system. He will give you the honest truth and help you get through the process to the end. His team is responsive and thorough and great to work with. I couldn't thank Jim and his team enough for helping me.

Save yourself and your money and *do not* give this firm, specifically Boyd Hawkins, your business. After I thoroughly explained the situation to the rather kind intake woman at their firm, Boyd took my consultation appointment at his rate of $150 per hour. Unfortunately, he clearly didn’t listen to a word I said during it, he kept going off long-winded tangents about matters that I was not there to discuss and I had to repeatedly ask him to stay on the actual topic. I cut the meeting as soon as it was glaringly apparent that I couldn’t trust him to represent me in this legal matter. He wasted over $100 hard earned dollars and even worse, MY TIME.

I want others to know how pleased I am with the collections effort made by James Colborn on my behalf. He was persistent, tenacious, even-tempered and just kept doing his job until he collected on an unpaid debt. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Colborn to others who find themselves in a bind with a collection debt. Thank you James for a job very well done!!

James resolved an odd case for me in which the address on my title was switched with my neighbor over 15 years ago, and despite the neighbors property being sold twice since then it was never caught. I live remotely and had never met James, I was fortunate to find him on the internet and am very glad I ended up working with him. I tried to resolve this myself and got nowhere so I reached out to James. First he gave me advice on how to resolve it myself and offered to help if I wasn't successful. After failing to resolve it I went back to James and he agreed to help. He was able to find the original title company even though I had lost the documentation and pursued a solution through them. Simultaneously he pursued an alternative solution with the owner of the other property. Timing was important because the property next door was set for foreclosure with my physical property listed as the legal address on the title. James kept me up to speed on all aspects of his efforts. He was courteous and professional in resolving the issue, and ultimately when the situation demanded it, aggressive enough to gain cooperation to resolve the problem. James resolved the problem, clearing my property from complications with the foreclosure, correcting the information with the county and solving the problem. He did all of this remotely as I no longer live in the area and never met face to face. I found James to be professional, competent, and fair. I was very glad he was representing me and was very satisfied with his work and the outcome. While it is never inexpensive when you need legal advice, I felt his fees were fair and that I got a very good deal for the work and results. I would rely on James for future real estate work without hesitation and would recommend him to friends and colleagues. Working with James was a very positive experience.

I had a brief but very positive interaction with John Kormanik this summer and I would highly recommend his services to anyone. He was attentive, knowledgeable and honest in our communication. I was impressed that John did not try to push his services in order to meet his "agenda. His advice was not motivated by his personal gain, rather by what was best for me and my situation.

Ryan Henson and Millie Ibarra with Bevis, Thiry, Henson & Katz helped our family with a sensitive family law matter. They were patient, kind and available to answer our many questions. They guided us through the unknown and complexities of the legal system. They helped us understand the criminal proceedings and how best to engage with the Prosecuting Attorney's Office. They were strong advocates for our daughter and grandson. Ryan was open with his communication and helped us be prepared for each step through the lengthy legal proceedings. Millie was there to help us understand with dedicated ongoing, open communication. Phil and Krista also provided their views and assisted when needed. They are an excellent, dedicates team. We highly recommend them when you need a strong advocate with experience.

I came in for a consultation and Sam listened to me and gave it to me straight. This is exactly what I needed. To understand what I wanted to accomplish and how I may need to compromise. He gave me alternative situations and advised me that I may not get exactly what I was looking for because of my situation. But he also explained that what I was looking could be accomplished down the road if it didn’t work now. The consultation was so informative he even told me I might not even need him and I could do it myself. I knew this going into it. (And was relieved to know he wasn’t just trying to get my money. As I’ve heard other previous horror stories from friends and family when it comes to other Lawyers.) However my other Co-Parent had already hired a lawyer, I wanted the peace of mind Sam brought to the table. Also his firms reputation was nice. And it shined through in his professionalism and timely communication. In the end it went exactly how Sam and I discussed it would happen. In six months I will be 50/50 Co Parent. Thank you Sam!!! And my Son thanks you as well!!!!

I went through a high-conflict divorce that involved false accusations and threats around taking away custody. It was a stressful process, but Sam guided me through it, kept things in perspective, always had a game plan, and somehow managed to add in some humor through it all to lighten the mood. We won literally everything I asked for in court - I'm so glad I trusted him with one of the biggest decisions of my life. Highly recommend.

Sam is great. I would not recommend another family law attorney to anyone. My case was quite extensive and very high conflict. Sam got me a result that I would have never expected. He conducted himself professionally with me and with counsel on the other side and it is easy to see that Sam is highly respected amongst his peers. He was extremely empathetic with my situation and was able to guide me through each issue that arose calmly and professionally. He gave me straight forward advice and never promised me anything that he couldn't deliver. He told me all the risks involved with each path we could take and enabled me to make informed decisions. Sam was able to walk me and talk me through some of the lowest points of my entire life. If you are going thru a family law case and want a fair, reasonable, intelligent, straight shooter that delivers real results, go with Sam.

Krista and her team provided invaluable support, counsel, and resources for a very complicated, challenging, and dynamic divorce. Her ability to listen, show compassion, and empathy while maintaining a straightforward approach throughout the process provided invaluable confidence during a difficult situation. It was evident that Krista and her team had my best interest in focus and I will continue to consult and enlist Krista and her team for all future family counsel.

I feel like Mr Haws was extremely knowledgeable and professional in all of his dealings. Even more importantly he took the time to really listen to my values and objectives. I never once doubted that he and his firm always had my personal interest as their first priority when making decisions. At every turn I was asked for my input and was made to feel a part even when terminology and procedure and to be explained and re- explained. Mr Haws has a gift of understanding with the tenacity to get results.

Went there and they charged me $400 for an initial consultation…They stated that they advised me the cost in a e/m.
I searched my inbox, spam, deleted etc . And there was no record of the e/m.
I never would have agreed to $400 for an initial consultation.
I paid it that day. That was over two weeks ago.
They stated they were going to send me a list of requirements to move forward. They never did
I felt like they were milking me as they wanted to rewrite my entire trust.
Not very pleased with the professionalism of this firm and decided to move.
Update 10/23/24: I contacted Johnson May law and discussed the above issue. To my surprise they agreed it was an unfortunate misunderstanding and have offered a full refund of the consultation fee. I honestly did not expect that. I’m happy with the result and their kind understanding of the issue. They are good folks after all. Much appreciated!!!

Was referred to Trout to handle a very simple order to show cause. Fee churning in my opinion with two attorneys doing the work of one.
Should have been a bill for no more than $10,000 in my opinion and I received a bill for $21,000 for a very basic order to show cause. When I questioned them about the large bill, they agreed to discount 10% but $19,000 is still about double what this should have cost in my opinion.

UPDATE after Steve Wieland RESPONSE:
Steve Wieland, your response provides even more support in what a horrible attorney you are.
Let's address your fabrications (lies):
1. The judge gave us an award of $50.00 NOT the Million plus we had asked for!
2. We were NOT awarded any Punitive Damages!
3. We asked for attorney fees that added to over $200,000.00, we were only awarded approximately $58,000.00 for the “Timber Trespass” issue as you did NOT win any of our damages as you did NOT provide any experts at trial!
4. We did NOT get any Court Costs or equitable relief awarded!
5. We LOST our easement that had been in the family for 120 plus years thanks to your incompetence!
6. You kept our piddly $7062.60 the judge gave us for the 50 plus trees that were stolen from us! (We should have won a lot more)
7. We sued you for malpractice and your insurance company agreed to settle with us to which you were given the remaining amount of your fraudulent fees!
8. We did NOT want to settle our Fraud Claim and Malpractice claim against you, but our attorney demanded it as our expert witness we were utilizing to sue you for malpractice had worked in the same law firm as you and a conflict of interest arose!
Shame on you Steve for continuing to defraud the public! All of this is public record for all to see! Everyone who seeks the truth will see that you are a liar!

I'm not a client; I'm Daniel, Steve, and Jaren's peer. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this firm to clients I am unable to serve due to conflicts or because their matter is outside my realm of knowledge. In my experience, the attorneys at Mooney Wieland Warren are passionate, professional, ethical, tenacious, and zealous advocates for their clients. Anyone looking for competent legal representation would be in great hands with this firm.

After reading attorney Steven Wieland’s bio, where he proclaims; “Winning at trial in a real-estate easement dispute involving a large lakefront commercial-development property in Northern Idaho” Well, I (the Trust manager) just had to respond!
The Trust originally filed a lawsuit against two entities in Kootenai County Idaho, regarding an easement issue, illegal timber trespass, trespass, and other issues in October 2018, after sustaining millions of dollars in damages to their 120-year-old farmland, which included defendants building an illegal road on their property, and cutting down approximately seventy (70) one hundred (100) plus foot tall trees that can never be replaced.
I reached out to Steve Wieland in January 2020, after our first attorney quit prior to Trial (Scheduled for early March 2020), wherein Steve proclaimed that he was an “Expert on land issues, especially easements, and was an experienced trial attorney.”
In Steve’s first three weeks, Steve charged the Trust approximately $18,000.00 primarily for reading through the case notes I had provided.
Steve also charged the Trust ridiculous fees to research how he would represent the Trust, even though he had stated that he was an “Expert” on the issues being litigated. Steve later jokingly stated that he didn’t think the Trust would pay him that much…REALLY…what choice did the Trust have! They were desperate and it was too late to find anyone else and Steve took advantage of this fact.
The next couple of weeks, Steve charged even more outrageous charges for “…reviewing the case and strategy on how to win” instead of getting discovery completed, finding experts, preparing for a continuance, etc…
At the first hearing Steve was unprepared and failed to procure a continuance for trial.
The Trust desperately needed to disclose expert witnesses in order to win their damages. Steve failed to obtain any experts and failed to disclose the ones I had procured on behalf of the Trust, even though the judge allowed him time to submit them.
The attorney who drafted the Trust original easement even met with Steve prior to trial to provide ideas on trial strategy regarding the illegitimate amended easement document (presented by defendants) in question as it was obvious that said amended easement had been manipulated and changed from its original format. Steve missed the opportunity to utilize “Failure of the Meeting of Minds” as one example to rid said bogus amended easement.
The Trust was unable to secure a large damage amount at Trial as NO EXPERTS were retained to prove the loss in damages to their property.
Steve had attempted to utilize his wife, Jaren, and even brought her with him for a vacation (at the Trust expense) in beautiful North Idaho where the two of them spent a great deal of time in the local pubs instead of adequately preparing for trial! Steve later charged the Trust approximately $30,000.00 plus in attorney fees on behalf of his wife who did absolutely NOTHING!
During trial, Steve did not properly cross defendants witness, Sandy Young aka VERDIS, who the Trust believed had forged the amended easement document that was being disputed.
The Trust was not awarded the million plus in damages to their property and only received the minimal amount of $50 dollars from the judge because Steve had never procured any expert witnesses to testify at Trial as to the extent of damages!
Steve eventually sought almost $200,000.00 in attorney fees and costs for doing very little paperwork, and absolutely nothing to help the case!
We hired another attorney to appeal.
A monkey in a suit could have won the case with the overwhelming evidence I had provided to Steve to ensure a win!
It was a no-brainer!
The Trust eventually pursued legal malpractice against Steve Wieland
So, before you consider hiring Steve Wieland (I would run for my life), make sure you have him put everything in writing and that he actually knows the subject matter you need legal assistance with!
SEE RESPONSE!

Very thoughtful and helpful throughout the process of collecting your information. Your input is encouraged throughout so your wishes are expressed correctly in the will. You are given the opportunity to proofread and make changes. Everyone on the staff has your best interest at heart. Clay was awesome throughout. He made sure we understood everything going on. You’ll not find a better place to put your trust in. Pricing is very fair. I highly doubt you will find any better value for your money. I can confidently give them my highest recommendation.

Communication from this office is terrible.
I was sent a bill and then after looking at the filings would find errors.
The most recent filing has the correct names on the first page, as well as my children’s identifying information, however, it was served by mail to some random person I’ve never heard of in another state. I confirmed this with the courthouse. The attorney hasn’t responded to any of my messages about who this person is or how it happened.
They also haven’t redone the filing.
They’re going to respond here and say I’m not a client of theirs because that’s what they always do.
Update: The filing has now been sent by mail to the correct address. The attorney I talked to treated me like I did something wrong by being upset. He chastised me when I questioned whether the other filings were correct. Then he belittled me and demanded I take down this review. He lacks humility, and understanding.
Still no responsibility taken for the error they made. The curt attitude comes off as arrogant, especially when I was the one that discovered the mistake and not them.

We retained John Browder for our litigation on a recommendation from from another attorney. He was described as a very nice bulldog, and he was everything he was described to be. He turned around what we felt was a hopeless case after what we had been through over the past months. He kept us in the loop throughout the process, and we received full acceptance of our terms from the opposing party. John also took the time to discuss with us the law in regards to our case so we had a detailed understanding of how the other side was legally at fault. It was eyeopening for us, and I gained an appreciation of how well John understood the law and could use it to help us in our situation.

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.
