I hired Haupt not knowing what type of lawyer he was/is. I put my future in his hands. Looking at 8-15yrs bc of my past and things now. Thanks to Haupt, I walked away today with 1 misdemeanor (instead of multiple felonies) , no jail time, no fines (besides court costs), no probation, no community service. He understood my situation and really had my back. I highly recommend his services! I appreciate you Haupt!

I met with Todd Kotler to assist me with obtaining a Letter of Authority for the estate of my deceased spouse. I had explained what I needed by phone, prior to this meeting, and he said he could help with that. He was late and unprepared for our meeting, without apology. When he learned there were basically no personal assets to report, and I just needed the LOA to get the medical records of my deceased spouse, he asked if I was planning to file a wrongful death action. I explained I was having a medical lawyer review the records at this point. He then had a cryptic conversation with his paralegal about fees, then insisted that he would have to open and close probate, and coordinate that with the other attorney. He advised me to list $100,000 as personal assets for my deceased spouse, which is completely false, in anticipation of a lawsuit award that may not ever happen. He then claimed he would be entitled to 4% of any potential settlement for which he would have had no part in litigating. I ended the meeting at that point and consulted another estate attorney. He was shocked that Mr. Kotler would take advantage of someone in a tragic situation. He said there was a very simple way for me to obtain the medical records without unnecessarily opening probate, and explained exactly what to do, at no charge. How unethical and desperate do you have to be to exploit someone who is grieving? In my opinion, Todd Kotler is a very small, arrogant, unethical man, out to line his own pockets. If I decide to file a wrongful death action, I will certainly not hire Mr. Kotler to handle probate.

Anthony Rich does very well with communicating with his clients. I didn’t feel rushed talking with him and he patiently answered all the questions we had. This was all before we even paid for his services! Once he was paid he immediately visited our family member, while they were in jail, so he could get the ball rolling. This family member said Anthony Rich was very professional, and definitely knew what he was doing in that court room. Folks, he was a big part of saving our family that day! Those five stars were well earned. Thank you Anthony Rich.

Denise aggressively and assertively helped us win our case at our first hearing. She is a true professional who seeks all of the facts and brings them forward. She makes others pay attention with her thoroughness and preparedness. There is no doubt in our minds that she is the one who made the difference. She leaves no room for missing evidence. She uncovers it and brings it forward in a very professional manner. We know we had the best person on this case.

Upon reviewing dozens of attorneys and seeing her length of same job performance and her accomplishments , I had to speak with her to find that special tone and command of respect that should be present when, wanting someone with strong confidence but still polite and professional. I needed to know she would stand her ground without apologizing for it, for instance. During a conversation with MS. Houston, I noticed our signal from my phone or hers had gone out for a few seconds and while speaking to her I accidentally spoke while being spoke to but she did not notice the failed signal and when I heard it come back she said, and I quote " Mr. xxxxx I cannot let you know what you ask, if you keep talking over me, so please listen to what I am saying to you" end quote. Now that tells me that she will not take any disrespect and commands it with firm acknowledgment and that is what I feel is needed in a court of law to win a case. Of course intelligence goes with that and I believe she has that. I know she will take command in court and will be feared by other lawyers with intimidation. I did not mention the problem with the phone signal because she proved to me that she is what my wife and I were looking for to ensure our confidence in her that, our Grand-Daughter will have the best possible chance of a better life and at 11 months old (as of this letter) her safety and well being are a great concern to my wife and I. My daughter has openly admitted she can't raise her for a few years or more and the father is mentally unfit due to he was born with problems, but her safety is in question and I know MS. Houston can make the case. She really does let you know where you stand and is very clear as long as you have given her all she asks of you and the truth is open. I do believe she is a very smart woman who can look you in the eyes and not guess her answers. I feel she will go in to the court and be more prepared than the other attorney and run over anyone if needed with the ability to do so. There are not many people I will let me feel as though, I am under their thumb but she has done that in a good positive way, that ensures me I will get, the best intelligent professional to stand up for my Grand-Daughter.

Divorce is a painful process. What a client wants is straight talk and no sugar-coating and beating-around-the-bush. You'll get that here. There are times she's hard to reach because she might be in trial or working with another client, but didn't I like having her full attention when she was in meetings, negotiations, or in court with me? My experience makes it laughable to me that someone would accuse Denise of not giving her full attention their case. This was not my experience at all nor anyone else I've met that has worked with her.

The attorney that took my case talked a good story but could not accomplish much without an expensive law suit. Then without the courtesy of at least letting me know, handed my case over to a freshly graduated attorney. I had to prod this attorney to make any moves and had to ask for any updates. I had to pay upfront for a law suit. The attorney extended every courtesy and kindness to the person I was opposing, while I was billed for it all. I even had to call and ask for the remainder of my retainer. This attorney was done but failed to notify accounting. I do not recommend.

They may be good lawyers I’m not sure, but I will tell to that they will order over 100 dollars worth of food and have the audacity to leave a 3 dollar tip for the delivery person. I’m not sure how empathetic or professional they can be if they can only afford to tip that much. Seems kind of pathetic that an entire office can’t even afford to tip 5% yet can run an entire agency. Pitiful.

Not a very good attorney, felt as if I did more work then him. I felt overcharged for many of the services rendered, which failed to produce real results. I felt as if the attorney just wanted to make money not provide a real defense. Ended up releasing him prior to trial and settled it on my own because he was no good. I do not recommend him for a divorce lawyer. Stay away!

Mr Bond has been delivering all he has promised to me. He has spent time collecting information from me and knows when to back off in order to keep my bill down. I would not have been able to get through all of my custody issues without Mr Bond by my side. I have dealt with many attorneys during my divorce and I highly recommended Mr Bond to anyone in search of a trustworthy, honest attorney.

Collin Wise represented our family in a wrongful death legal malpractice suit. We were skeptical of lawyers and the legal system before meeting Collin. He exhibited compassion, respect, knowledge, and professionalism with regard to our case and family. He was in constant communication with all of us in all parts of the country and ensured we made decisions based on facts. We cannot speak more highly of a professional and recommend him enthusiastically!

Then overcharges. Professional buyout. He turfed all the work to a CPA. The CPA did a great job and charged me $1000 for good work. Feltes then shuffles the papers sent by the CPA and charges $5300. Three times he asked me for my mailing address and still mailed paperwork to the wrong one. Three times I asked him a simple question about terms and three times he ignored me. That is until he wrote a three page memo after the fact that probably cost $1000.

Hired this attorney to complete some paperwork including wills. After the paid consultation ($125) I was given no time frame on when the documents would be completed. After a few months I emailed to follow up. Was told things were almost done. Fast forward 8 months and I still have no documents. Repeated calls and emails have been completely ignored. Awful experience that cost $125 for no results

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success.
  3. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
