Not many lawyers go above and beyond to do what they don't have to do. Mario, he does. I was in an extremely bad situation and he really came through, for me. I appreciate what he did for me very much. If more lawyers cared about their work the way Mario does, we might have some Justice in this "System". Thank you Mario!

We needed an outside lawyer to handle several cases in a rapidly-evolving area of law. We sought out Todd because he was involved in a related appeal at the highest level. His mastery of both substantive issues and procedural rules was unparalleled, and instrumental in formulating our strategy for both trial and appellate levels. He is fast, thorough and determined. An absolute pleasure to work with.

Louis was very respectful, listened to my concerns and worked with me to resolve my issues with the insurance company that was giving us a very hard time with roof damage coverage due to the hurricane.

I'm aware I haven't actually leveraged Helena's services outside of a conversation (after contacting the ARAG center). BUT if an initial presentation or judge of character holds any bearing, I would be shocked if Helena delivered anything short of her proven experience and expertise on the subject matter.
She was easy to talk to and provided enough time for a thorough, dialogue driven, discussion around immigration issues.

Helena is extremely knowledgeable which can save a lot of time/money with "lawyer's research time". She is caring and she listens carefully better than any attorney I have talked to. Talking to Helena feels different than talking to a lawyer. She is a TRUSTED ADVISOR. You will feel great about retaining her services !

I was lucky that someone told me about Mr. Cueto's services, I asked him about a dispute I was facing in one of my partnerships. Mr. Cueto understood my situation immediately and explained me in detail what would be the most appropriate way to proceed, always with professionalism and a lot of ethics, in four months we managed to resolve my situation beneficially for both parties. Mr. Cueto always answered my calls and emails as soon as possible, something very strange in the lawyers from Miami, I recommend him 100%, each USD paid was worth it.

Mr. Drucker handled my complicated and stressful family probate litigation. He is smart, caring, hard working, and responsive. He got me a great result. He stayed firm to my demands, but negotiated enough to keep the case moving. I could tell that he was very well respected by opposing counsel. He was not adversarial or antagonistic. I wholly recommend Mr. Drucker, especially for family probate litigation issues that are stressful and highly charged.

I normally don't write these things but I had such a positive experience with Lori concerning a very complicated family trust that I owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. My case concerned a blended family trust which, as I've learned, can be thorny and fractured affairs. I was co-trustee of the trust and I genuinely don't know if I would have made it through the experience with my sanity intact without Lori. She's incredibly smart, knows Florida law inside and out, and was creative in finding solutions when hope seemed lost.
But most of all she was available when I needed her. In my regular life I have reason to deal with lawyers from time to time. If you want to feel true frustration, try dealing with an attorney who you can't get on the phone. Lori was there for me. 75% of the time she'd take my call right away. If not, she'd get back to me within a few hours.
Lori's also an incredibly fun and interesting person. Probate cases require a lot of phone calls and emails. Better to go through it with someone whom you like and appreciate as a human being. Don't underestimate the importance of that.
On the flip side, when hard ball needed to be played, she played hard ball. She was fierce when we got into the end game of my ordeal and in the end we came out with a very strong result.
As anyone who's gone through a contested will or trust can tell you, it's a brutal experience. Thank goodness I chose Lori to represent me. I can't recommend her enough.

Scott Graul and I met shortly after my car accident. He proved to be an excellent attorney for my case. He was very through and also very patient with an inpatient old lady. He explained everything about my case so I'd understand the process. He also proved he really did care. Ill never forget when he pulled into my driveway to give me a hug and tell me he really did care. I lived hour and half from his office. Scott will always be number one in my book.

I have known Mr. Sweetbaum for a while now. He meets in a professional group with me every Wednesday. Ari was asked to join the group because of his expertise in construction law and came extremely recommended. In a short amount of time, some of the members have hired Ari or have referred Ari to cases and the results come back more than positive each and every time. If you have an issue in the world of construction law, I would guess it would be a mistake not to have a consultation with this super lawyer. His personality comes across as a very intellectual attorney that enjoys the law. In Miami, lawyers that know the law have a great percentage of winning if they take on the case.

I have dealt with countless number of attorneys in Miami in my time, and recently discovered the services of Jorge Garcia-Menocal thanks to the recommendation of a good friend. We walked into his office with a concern and a general feeling of powerlessness after countless fruitless attempts to mitigate with my issue. Jorge right away showed an incredible amount of empathy and professionalism which i whole-heartedly feel is rare to find.
I left his office extremely impressed with his knowledge and readiness to put my needs over my finances, and would highly recommend Mr Garcia to my friends and family.

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.
