Bryan and his team were awesome!! Even with not being able to go to their office in person I was still treated like I was valued. After the initial consultation I was convinced I needed to hire Bryan and his team. Everyone on his team played their role wonderfully. I never had any trouble getting emails answered or appointments made. Not sure how many clients they have but I felt like I was their only one because of how much attention I received. Bryan is a down to earth lawyer who i genuinely enjoyed talking to. With his instructions my case went smoothly and the outcome was better than I had hoped. He was upfront with all of my options and not just out to make money. Thanks Bryan!!

I had a similar experience. Once I was promised a consultation next week but when I called I was told they were in Hong Kong.
I also thought I was deliberately kept in the dark throughout the process. It all ended in their yelling at me, so I terminated the hiring.

DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!!!! I hired Kate and Bryan for an employment case. Upon our first meeting Kate made it very clear she believed in open and prompt communication. She told me I had a great case. I advised I would give our meeting some thought and let her know about retaining her. A few days later I get an non egagement letter pressuring me about hiring the firm. I was worried and decided to hire her to represent me, despite her ignoring my e-mails/questions days prior. She takes my thousands of dollars and then it becomes harder to get in contact with her! It takes three weeks to schedule a simple phone meeting. Anytime I had questions, I had to wait over a week to speak to her. They overcharged me by over a $1,000 and it took a week to get my issue resolved. I sought her advice about litigation and she agreed it was a good course of action. And that she would move forward with a plan of action. Three weeks later she hadn't done anything with my case or answered my e-mails. Then out-of-the blue I get an email stating she has terminated me as a client because she is too busy to handle my case?! STAY AWAY FROM THIS SO CALLED "LAWFIRM" they will waste your time and under deliver.

I hired Matt Wolf, Jennifer Schlatter and Bailey Pompea, all with Allen Vellone Wolf Law Firm to represent me in a civil case. Leading up to trial, they recommended that I file additional charges on top of my original claim because, they said, the defendants responses in discovery proved their guilt, in writing, on these additional charges.
The legal work to prepare multiple claims resulted in attorneys fees exceeding $80,000 just to get to mandated pretrial mediation.
At mediation, all three lawyers at Allen Vellone had no argument prepared to defend my case. My attorneys did not understand, and could not defend, my original complaint. They offered no argument at all to support the additional complaints that they had recommended. The defendant's attorneys destroyed Allen Vellone in all arguments. The mediator ruled that I had no case on ANY of my claims. To have any chance of winning if I proceeded to trial, I needed to hire new attorneys. Since I could not afford to start over with new attorneys, I was forced to drop my claims. All of them!
But it gets worse:
At mediation, all three attorneys provided me with an estimate of my net legal costs through mediation for the entire team. I requested this so that I would be prepared to negotiate a settlement, if necessary. When I dropped my case after mediation, Allen Vellone billed me TWICE AS MUCH for mediation as they had verbally quoted. When I disputed the inflated amount, Allen Vellone said that they did not remember giving me an estimate. They still charged me an extra $10,000 to add to my losses, and to pad their pockets.
Wolf's, Schlatter's and Pompea's actions clearly show that they were not interested in giving me quality representation. All they cared about was running up their fees. First by adding claims that were subsequently thrown out. Secondly by jacking up their fees when my engagement with them was ending.
Instead of paying $50,000 to win a potential settlement of $200,000...
with Wolf, Schlatter and Pompea, I paid $80,000 to lose and and win NOTHING!

I ended up with this lawyer only because everyone else at the law firm was busy, so they wanted to fob her off on me. I should have known right then to go somewhere else. Joanne Herlihy did not seem to understand either the law or courtroom procedure, and the other lawyers in the case had no respect for her. Eventually I had to pay to settle the case and stop the bleeding, though if I had had a good lawyer I probably would have won. What a disaster.

I can not say how absolutely disgusted I am with attorney Dan Bonifazi. He was at a previous firm and had worked on two companies I am managing partner of. First off he had two scheduled meetings with me, one of them he just stood me up. The second one he canceled last minute. But here’s the kicker, he VIOLATED trust account laws. He worked 2.5 hours on one of my company’s issues and wrote himself a $5000 check out of that account when he left his previous firm. He dropped the ball on many things. Please head the warning, STAY AWAY!!!!!! I will now have to take my time and file appropriate grievances to get the company’s money back. This not only costs money but costs time and could cause a deal to be held up.

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.
