I cannot recommend this car accident lawyer firm enough! From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive and truly customer-oriented. Their professionalism and dedication were evident at every step of the process. They maintained excellent communication throughout, always keeping me informed and answering all my questions promptly.
What impressed me the most was how seamlessly they handled my case. They provided top-notch representation in court, and thanks to their expertise, my case was dismissed without any hassle or negative impact on my record. They made what could have been a stressful experience completely painless.
If you’re looking for a legal team that genuinely cares about their clients and delivers outstanding results, this is the one. Thank you so much for everything!

Tracey Harkins is a fierce and compassionate defense attorney. She is incredibly bright and attentive. We hired her to navigate a family defense case. Finding yourselves in this unimaginably difficult legal battle requires representation that is confident, informed and diligent. Tracey is pragmatic and strong; but she always had time to listen and encourage us. She navigated us to a swift and definitive dismissal. We will always be so grateful to have worked with Tracey and her firm.

McNabola law puts you first. They stuck with me throughout the process and kept fighting for me. Dave McKracken was awesome, and extremely helpful with all of my questions and concerns. He always followed up with honesty and compassion. There is no doubt in my mind if you are looking for the right attorneys to take care of you and give you the best chance of success look no further. I will forever be grateful for the team at McNabola Law Group.

Don McGarrah worked with us throughout my husband's personal injury case, and we are grateful and appreciative of the hard work he and the other staff put into the case. The process was not fast (think months and years), but we felt that Don was very thorough and did not give up on getting the best outcome possible. Although there's a certain amount of stress and hoop-jumping involved, Don made the process very straightforward and we never felt like an afterthought.

I am posting this on behalf of my sister, Krystyna.
I had the privilege of working with Mr. Brian Hurst and his partner, Ms. Olga Allen, for the past eight years. I hired them to handle a very contentious divorce, and it was the best decision I ever made. After experiencing frustration with two ineffective and non-transparent lawyers, working with Olga and Brian restored my faith that lawyers can be trusted, compassionate, and genuinely committed to their clients' best interests rather than financial gain.
Ms. Allen carefully prepared the documents for our numerous court appearances, while Mr. Hurst presented and litigated the case. Their work was exemplary—organized, thorough, and meticulously detailed. Mr. Hurst's presentations to the judges (even through several changes) were clear, data-driven, convincing, eloquent, and highly effective.
When the first court decision was appealed by the opposing side, Mr. Hurst and Ms. Allen once again collected relevant facts, prepared detailed written presentations, and engaged in skillful court negotiations, resulting in a favorable judgment from the Appeal Court. Their proficiency in multiple languages was an additional benefit, as it helped me overcome my limitations in spoken English, especially during stressful court questioning.
I highly recommend Mr. Hurst and Ms. Allen to anyone, particularly those who feel their case is hopeless or that lawyers are taking advantage of them. You will be pleasantly surprised by their dedication and effectiveness.
At the end of this painful divorce process, I feel that Olga and Brian are not just my saviors but also dear friends.

I have known Mr. Gray for over 20 years both personally and professionally. David is both a creative thinker and logician whom seeks to thoughtfully weigh both sides of every issue and seeks the best possible outcome as a result. His knowledge of property tax law was recently on display in arguing in front of the Illinois Supreme Court. I would not hesitate to in engage him on any matter requiring legal expertise, litigated or otherwise.

I had an ethics matter brought by the ARDC related to BI claim negotiations with an insurance company. Ms. Stewart thoroughly analyzed the case and explained the process. She knew - from her experience - how the facts would be interpreted by the ARDC and how their attorney would approach the evidence, the discovery and the conclusion. I heavily relied upon her advice. As a result of her hard work, my exposure was minimized and I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

Stephanie Stewart recently represented me in defense of a legal malpractice claim. From the initial correspondence, she understood the liability claim, the circumstances, as well as the coverage issues. After a second discussion, she had forged a solid defense strategy as well as an approach to the alleged damages.
Ms. Stewart handled all communications with my insurer, as well as the attorneys for the alleged plaintiff, and deftly resolved the matter to my great relief and satisfaction.
Stephanie was in my corner from the very start. As any defendant in any similar situation well knows, when a liability claim rears its ugly head, anxiety strikes, disrupting every waking moment, and even disrupting our dreams.
Stephanie's confident, competent manner and expertise served to guide me and protect me in what could have been a professional and emotional disaster.

Highly recommend The Law Offices of George M. Sanders. I worked directly with Mr. Sanders and he was extremely knowledgeable and very professional. He had my best interest in mind the entire time and made sure he wasn't wasting my time or money. Under the circumstances, I felt like I was in good hands with Mr. Sanders.

I had a medical malpractice complaint against a Dr who left me disabled. It was not a complication of the surgery. He damaged an area that he should not have been any where close to. The expert was weak and really didn’t look at all the facts. They lied to me about going to trial. They did not even get the injury correct. When I read the depositions I thought they were working for the physician. I wish I never had hired them. I haven’t been able to work since the injury and we spent a good portion of our savings on Dr bills. They dropped my case after 5 years and it’s been impossible to find a new lawyer. I’m now trying to get a job and no one wants to hire a nurse who’s disabled and has been out of work for seven years. Not only has this physician ruined my entire life but these lawyers didn’t know enough about nerve injuries to take the case. They also printed up a fake trial date on a court document and gave it to me to make me believe we were going to trial. Who does that?

I recently worked with the Marneris Law team to close my condo purchase. As a first-time homebuyer, I was admittedly quite nervous about how the negotiations would go, but Niko & Shayla were extraordinary to work with from start to finish. Their attention to detail, swift responses, and friendly demeanor was all so appreciated & comforting during the entire process.
Lastly, I truly felt that Niko advocated for me with the seller's attorney during some last minute issues that popped up in the final walk-through, with a favorable outcome when all was said & done.
I'd recommend Marneris Law to absolutely everyone in their home purchase endeavors! Thank you again for everything, Niko & Shayla!

Their attention to detail and dedication resolving issues made what could have been a stressful process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Marneris Law to anyone looking to buy a home—they truly made all the difference!

Renu was the first lawyer I've worked with and she was very helpful in the cases I was working through. She was able to provide legal information that was otherwise very difficult to locate, she responded in a very timely manner, and her rates seemed quite fair. I feel very good with the outcome of my cases and Renu was a big help throughout it all.

Renu helped me review a separation agreement. Renu's hourly is fairly high, but she gets a lot done: she reads and reviews quickly and was able to make suggestions to the terms also. I think everything was completed in about 5 hours. I also appreciated her expertise on how to interpret and think through several terms of my separation, particularly around non-competes.

Renu took on my case when so many other lawyers/firms doubted me. No one else had any faith in me getting anything out of my case and a few even shut me down about it quickly. I was told several times that it would be a waste of my time. Renu listened to my story, was empathetic, saw potential and gave it a shot. Renu was informative and communicative throughout the process. She was also very transparent from beginning to end. I wasn’t looking to be greedy in my case, I just wanted to prove that what happened was wrong. Aside from that, I understood that anything that I would receive in the end, would be more than the nothing I started with. I was glad someone finally believed in my situation. I fully trusted Renu’s advice and guidance in my case, and am very satisfied with the overall outcome.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Christine and Thurston Law, and I can confidently say it was the best legal experience I've ever had. From start to finish, the process was incredibly smooth and convenient, thanks to their efficient online system.

The team at Thurston Law Firm demonstrated professionalism and expertise every step of the way, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

We highly recommend White Law wfirm to which we were fortunate to find on a web search . After interviewing them along with several other firms,we quickly concluded they were the most knowledgable and expetienved. They informed us about the process to file a FINRA complaint and the various steps In the process to resolve . They were always professional and efficient in understanding cases d preparing key documents. They guided us thru the mediation, set realistic expectations and represented us well with the mediator . We were very p’eased with the settlement they got for us. And highly recommend them

As a small business owner that made a terrible honest mistake with IRS taxes, we were referred to Lane Marc Gensburg by our CPA .
After a short call and a reasonable retainer amount of 3k Lane started working on my case, getting information about our situation, we were positive we got the right guy! ABSOLUTELY NOT! This is the type of lawyer you need to stay away from, he transfer our case to Michael Gutting from his office, this guy was a total joke, he made us provide all the paperwork we provide Lane again, and of course he charge us for it again, this time the bill come back more than twice the retainer amount, we immediately called Lane , overwhelmed by the bill amount, Lane told us that the majority of the work was done and we should not get anything significant bills, but of course we did!!! Not only that the bills kept coming he also wasn't informed at all of our case progress, I remember we had a conference call between Michael, Lane and my business partner and he didn't have a clue on what's going on with our case.
Not only he was just a very expensive way to transfer all of our business financial information to the IRS agent, we end up worse then before we hired him, the tax agent was pissed and before his office start working on this case, the tax agent was willing to help us with payment plans and was going to recommend reducing the penalties, but that was not the case anymore.
At the end of the day if Lane was honest with us he should take our case as an adviser and get the CPA that freered us to him to provide the paperwork to the IRS.
Again we are a small business and almost 20k fees are not proportional.

After my dad passed away in April 2024, my mom and I filed for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) through the VA. Despite working with a VA liaison and following up for 10 months, we received no real updates—just that the claim was still pending. Then, my mom received a notice from the VA, which she mistakenly believed was a denial of the DIC claim. Unfortunately, even the local VA liaison misinterpreted it, causing a lot of confusion. Given that my dad’s passing was clearly linked to his disability, we realized we needed legal representation and turned to James Comerford.
From our first conversation, James took the time to listen, understand our situation, and guide us through the process. Initially, we thought we needed to file a rebuttal, but after investigating, he discovered the VA had actually misinformed us—the claim was still being processed. He assured us he would follow up, and shortly after, he called with the great news: the claim had been approved. Not only did he get us answers, but he also knew exactly when my mom would receive her benefits, including back pay.
When I asked James what we owed him, he refused payment—he was simply happy my mom received what she deserved. Even after I insisted, he suggested we make a donation to a charity instead, which we did. His generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart.
If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate attorney who will fight for you and keep you informed every step of the way, I highly recommend James Comerford. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s a good person who truly cares

Despite working with a VA liaison and following up for 10 months, we received no real updates—just that the claim was still pending. Then, my mom received a notice from the VA, which she mistakenly believed was a denial of the DIC claim. Unfortunately, even the local VA liaison misinterpreted it, causing a lot of confusion. Given that my dad’s passing was clearly linked to his disability, we realized we needed legal representation and turned to James Comerford.
From our first conversation, James took the time to listen, understand our situation, and guide us through the process. Initially, we thought we needed to file a rebuttal, but after investigating, he discovered the VA had actually misinformed us—the claim was still being processed. He assured us he would follow up, and shortly after, he called with the great news: the claim had been approved. Not only did he get us answers, but he also knew exactly when my mom would receive her benefits, including back pay.
When I asked James what we owed him, he refused payment—he was simply happy my mom received what she deserved. Even after I insisted, he suggested we make a donation to a charity instead, which we did. His generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart.
If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate attorney who will fight for you and keep you informed every step of the way, I highly recommend James Comerford. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s a good person who truly cares

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.
