I came to Connor by referral. I was recently let go from a role that did not end well. I was harassed, bullied, and ultimately driven out of the organization by an extremely toxic culture.
After having a severance shoved in my face, I was very suspicious of the circumstances surrounding my termination. I spoke with Connor and provided ALL THE FACTS and he found several issues I wasn't aware of in addition to the grievances I had.
He was able to work with my employer and we settled on a sizable increase in severance in lieu of legal proceedings, something I never could have done on my own. He was very supportive and guided me through each step. He is also extremely professional.
If I ever have any issues again I will be working with him, and will send any of my colleagues his way.

Paymon Bidari was immensely helpful in securing for my business a critical legal defense win that saved one of my locations from closing and helped me avoid a possible personal bankruptcy. Even though the facts were stacked against me, Paymon had a strategy to put as many mitigating and sympathetic factors in front of the court. Moments before we were to go inside the courtroom, however, the other party approached us to settle, along the lines of an offer we had previously made. Clearly, something in the way Paymon handled the case suggested to them that victory was not a sure thing. And that even with a positive judgment, Paymon would not let that be the end of it. Paymon showed himself to them--and to me--as thorough, competent, and serious. His communication with me was excellent throughout. I felt very comfortable working with him, and you should, too.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! San Diego Biz law was suggested to me via a random friend I car-pooled with. Me and my wife required the services of an immigration attorney and she recommended San Diego Biz Law. She gave me the personal number of the lead attorney/CEO Mr. Riznyk and asked me to call on a business day. Since we didn't have much time, I called him the next day which was a Sunday while he was having family time and we spoke for several minutes. He could have easily told me to call back on Monday but Mr. Riznyk gave me a free consultation and I immediately knew he was my man. I had spoken with other attorneys before then but none gave me the reassurance and confidence Mr. Riznyk exuded. I showed up at his office the next day and he handed me over to his awesome paralegal Emily Butler. Emily was fantastic! From the get go there was a very professional feel to their services and I could tell this was a great law firm with a reputation for always putting their best foot forward. Mr. Riznyk reassured me losing was never an option and he wouldn't take on a case he wasn't 100% sure of winning. He sure wasn't bluffing. From the front desk ladies to Mr. Riznyk's assistant, everyone was hands-on and buzzing. Over the next few weeks me and my wife worked with Emily and Mr. Riznyk on my case and what happened in the course of our subsequent interactions blew our minds. Emily and Mr. Riznyk came up with a superb brief of multiple-pages that was well beyond our expectations. The brief was backed with excellent legal arguments and know-how and we couldn't have asked for more. It was perfect legal representation steeped in over 30 years of doing this and winning at it. Emily's astute and deft arrangement of the brief and supporting documents left me in awe and utter respect for her work ethic. She then proceeded to send it via FedEx Express delivery at no extra cost to me. If I could give her a separate five star review I totally would. While we still await the outcome of our case, we remain very grateful to Mr. Riznyk and Emily for the sheer quality of their services. If you're ever in need of legal services please do not hesitate to request the services of San Diego Biz Law.

I am an attorney doing immigration law in Canada. Since I cannot appear in American courts, I have to get American representation for my clients. I was lucky enough to find Steven Riznyk in late 2009. I was very pleased with the way he and his firm operate. In 40 years, I have never seen anyone that was so assiduous and punctual. He returned all my calls promptly and usually within a few hours. He was always pleasant and courteous.
He is very knowledgeable and conscientious. All of the cases that I referred to him were handled successfully and at a very realistic price. I believe that he only bills for hours worked.
I have been privileged to do business with him and, as a token of my appreciation, I feel compelled to recommend him to all of you.

I have dealt with many attorneys over the course of both my personal and professional life. I can truly say that Mr. Spitzer ranks at the very top of the list. I do not give praise easily, but Mr. Spitzer not only fought passionately and tirelessly for my childs' interests and protection as a victim, he also was the most reponsvie attorney I have ever worked with. He was incredibly focused, trustworthy and committed throughout a process that dragged on for more than 6 months.

Todd Spitzer was referred to us by Crime Survivors. We were instantly amazed at how knowledgeable and personable he was. He treated us with compassion and he is whole-heartedly dedicated to his job and Victim's Right's. He wrote Marcy's Law.... so he know's what he's doing! He always answered our questions, explained what was going on, and kept us informed. We have contacted him "after the fact" with questions, and he has been reliable in responding and support. Our family is grateful and appreciative for Todd Spitzer's vigilant passion for the job that he does. We highly recommend him!

Nothing could be more frightening than to have your child brought home to you, bloodied and beaten up. I have never felt so vulnerable and helpless.
Initially, I tried to handle her legal needs myself—calling the police, contacting her school, and petitioning for civil restraining orders against the juveniles who assaulted my daughter. We encountered a court system that was unhelpful, that favored the assailants because they had a lawyer, and that unfairly subjected my daughter to insults and reprimanded my 16-year-old daughter.
I interviewed a few lawyers and kept being told to talk to Todd Spitzer because of his expertise in victim’s rights. Hiring Spitzer turned the case around for us. He was consistently respectful, and his advice was always on the mark. Spitzer invoked my daughter’s Marsy’s Law rights (the California Victims' Bill of Rights Act of 2008, which Spitzer helped become part of the state’s constitution). He represented us in civil court, where he was able to get temporary restraining orders continued through the criminal proceedings. With his representation, my daughter was treated respectfully.
When the District Attorney moved to prosecute, Todd Spitzer, under the provisions of Marsy’s Law, represented my daughter in court, talked with the District Attorney, made a successful argument for full restitution, and relayed my daughter’s remarks to the judge. This saved my daughter from being further victimized by the courts and relieved her of the trauma of having to again be in the presence of her main attacker. The guilty plea in this criminal assault case was one that all other attorneys I talked to said was unlikely if not impossible. Todd Spitzer made it possible, negotiating with the defense attorney and making sure that my daughter’s rights were upheld and that her interests were fairly represented.
At each step along the way, Todd Spitzer kept us fully informed about the process and was always available to answer our questions. My daughter’s ability to pull through this trauma is related to a great degree to Todd Spitzer’s ability to obtain justice for her. He gave her confidence, and he made her feel supported; he transformed her from victim to survivor. We are grateful for his commitment to victim’s rights and to doing what is right.

It was the most stressful period of my life and the final result was better than what I had been told to expect by my previous attorney.

Ms. Slavkin has represented me a number of times in business-related matters. I have had considerable experience with lawyers over the years, and would rate her among the best on a number of levels. Of the matters she has had to litigate for me, I have found her knowledgeable, scrupulously honest in her billings, well-prepared and a force to be reckoned with. She is undefeated relative to those matters. In other matters, she has successfully avoided what would otherwise be expensive litigation in favor of a more practical negotiated approach which, in each instance, solved my problem without "leaving anything" on the negotiating table. In those rare instances when my needs have been outside her scope of expertise, she was able to refer me to competent counsel, and continued to monitor that matter nevertheless. I no longer look anywhere else when looking for legal counsel. I heartily recommend her.

Wendy Slavkin has ben my attorney for close to 18 years. She had come highly recommended to me by a prominent attorney and has been an invaluable member of my professional team advising me on a wide range of business related legal issues. A couple of years ago I saw her in action as she defended me in a jury trial in a malicious, meritless employee termination case. She professionally, systematically, and impressively dismantled the prosecutions case and won a decisive judgment in my favor. Over the years, I have recommended Wendy to numerous friends who, like myself, have come to rely on her
without reservation. She really is a special kind of person and lawyer.

I am VP / General Counsel at a mid-size entertainment & technology company in the Los Angeles area. As the only attorney at my company, I must periodically seek advice from experts in intellectual property at local law firms. Ms. Tobi is my go to counsel and has been for the past 5 years with regard to copyrights, trade marks and trade secrets.
Her detailed, prompt and direct advice has enabled my company to gauge its potential litigation position with accuracy many times over. Ms. Tobi's expert knowledge, sound business advice and humble approach has been the key to many of our successful license agreements and settlements, helping bring certainty to sometimes apparant catastrophic liabilities.
A major plus for Ms. Tobi is her willingness to enter into alternative fee arrangements specific to certain recurring business.

He worked strategically to bring the matter to a conclusion and to keep costs under control. I recommend him without reservation.

Jason is an exceptional lawyer. His knowledge and attention to detail helped my case immensely. He used his past experience as a District Attorney to prepare me for the cross-examination in my trial.

I was ready for every possible question the prosecution threw at me and was able to answer them confidently and honestly. He was constantly finding new things in my case by going through the details with a fine-toothed comb. If you have the opportunity to work with Jason, you would be remised not to take it.

He teamed up and took the case over with Allison Margolin to do me extreme justice. I had a Marijuana sales case to an undercover officer. Raza worked relentlessly to get me a win in the case. I had a prior strike and was facing about 4 years. With his hard work he had the case reduced to a Misdemeanor, and summary probation until the Community Service was completed. Thanks Again. I recommend him to anyone in need of help to keep their freedom.

Raza and her partner were able to help me with an outstanding warrant of 2 years of which I had no idea I had against me until I found out through a background check done on me. I spoke to other attorneys before and not only were they more expensive but they said it could take weeks, even months to get this resolved. Raza was able to do it on the first day he went to the court house for me! I am extremely happy I was able to find such good attorneys who keep their word and work hard for their clients. If you need legal advice or representation, look no further.

I called upon Raza of Margolin and Lawrence when things looked very grim for me coming up on trial for a felony DUI. I was referred by a close friend who had hired them. Raza was able to minimize my sentence with 3 days left before trial when my other lawyer admitted to me that things didn't look good for me and he had no other recourse. I wish I would have hired them off the bat, would have had an ideal outcome, I'm sure of it. They are especially familiar with judges and courtrooms in LA county

My experience with Greer & Rineer Law was a life-changing one that will never be forgotten. In my situation I was dealing with a landlord who owed me back rent due to the fact that my apartment had been an illegal unit. The city made him close down the place and pay me to relocate but it also became apparent that I was owed back rent. When the landlord found out that I was going to pursue getting back some of my rent he began threatening me with all kinds of things that people with lots of money tend to do. He told me that he would sue me with lawyers that were way more expensive than what I could afford and used all kinds of supposed terminology and fake paperwork that he sent to me showing that I would actually owe him more money if I sought reimbursement. This was a very stressful time for me but, when I was referred to Allegra's Law Firm it was then that everything immediately started to de-escalate and I in turn began to de-stress. The best thing I can say about Allegra's Law Firm is that she and her partner never let anything go over my head. A lot of times if you're the layman and you don't understand legal terms and legal jargon it can be very confusing. I find things cmabout the law confusing when I'm just watching on television! Allegra and her partner Kathryn made it very easy for me to understand everything that was going on, they also helped me understand my rights, and they basically made it impossible for my landlord to scare me any longer since I truly knew and was aware of what I was to get back in return. They weren't only my attorneys, they were my advocates. They handle my case precisely and with tact and by the end of it all my life my former landlord decided to settle. I will forever be grateful to Greer and Rineer Law for what they did and how they stopped someone from creating stress in my everyday life.

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.
