Sarah was a tremendous help in guiding us through creating our estate plan, will, durable power of attorney, and more! There are no stupid questions and she will work with you to navigate the process. She is highly responsive and you can have all of your documents put together quite quickly, the only limiting factor is how fast you respond to her and make decisions :) Sarah is also very inclusive and will provide all the documentation you need for all family styles and couples, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. I can't recommend Sarah enough!

I am so happy that my friend and coworker referred me to Sarah to create a will. I was very nervous about the process and needed to work with someone who could simplify the information and help me feel comfortable. Sarah is fantastic to work with! The experience has been much easier and faster than I expected. Sarah is thorough and has done an amazing job at explaining all of the unknowns to me. Above and beyond any expectations I had for this process.

I was hit by a drunk driver several months ago and had serious injuries. I wouldn't have thought of contacting a lawyer until both insurance companies, mine and other driver's, asked for recorded interviews with me. I didn't want to take a chance on saying something that would jeopardize my claim. A friend referred me to Mike Keating. He and his associate, Deidre Ostrowski, represented me throughout the process of settling my claim. I received more money than I could ever have expected. But that is only part of the story. In working through the process, I had to deal with two auto insurers, my health insurance company, two health care providers, the ambulance company, the towing company and Medicare. Amy, staff member with the firm, took care of the paperwork and kept me well informed throughout the process. She really had to educate me, since this was my first experience with such a claim. She was incredibly patient, always pleasant and very efficient. Overall, I felt that Mike and Deidre represented me very effectively, and I recommend them and the firm to anyone in a similar situation.

I had a question that needed some research. I was referred to Clifford, called him.He called me back right away asked me a few questions and then researched for me. He had done a similar case a year prior and so was very up on this kind of case. He called me the next day with answers to my questions and he never asked me for a dime. He was very generous with me and that tells me a lot about his character. I would hire this man for sure if I needed a lawyer in Colorado.

I would recommend Scott McGath to anyone. From the start, I could tell that Scott had my back. It wasn't about the money, it was about winning and making me feel at ease along the way. I know this because he spent countless hours off the clock making himself an expert on a difficult and complex subject that only a sharp and determined lawyer could do. Scott and his team were professional, available, and organized. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to hire Scott again.

Though Matthew is a younger attorney, he is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He replied to all of my voice messages or emails promptly and always made me feel like my case was a priority.

We became involved with a very sticky and technical legal matter and another lawyer referred us to Max. We found Max to be very knowledgeable, bright, professional, and timely throughout the entire process. Beyond legal issues, he gave fantastic advice on strategy (short and long) and followed through with brilliant execution. As a teacher of negotiation skills I found Max to be a worthy partner as well - and to top if all off, we were successful. In short, while no one wants to be involved with legal issues, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Josh Weiss, Esq. led the team in a tremendous victory for our company in U.S. District Court when the odds were surely stacked against us.
We did not have any witnesses; the other side had multiple. There were other strong factors against us, despite the truth being on our side- the burden to demonstrate this was quite an uphill battle with many obstacles.
This was all done in less than 2 months’ time for preparation. The dedication, perseverance, focus and amount of time and tireless research was extremely admirable.
The level of professionalism, poise and expert command of the points of law- exceptional.
I am so grateful to have avoided what could have been a devastating and unfair judgement against our company had not the attention and skill of Josh Weiss prevailed.
If I could give a higher ranking- I would. I have extremely high standards and don’t lavish praise easily. Mr. Weiss saved our company. I highly recommend him. He is extremely dedicated and worked very hard, as I am confident he would do for any client. I have had experience with other Attorneys with more experience. I would hire Mr. Weiss immediately, again, if needed, with no hesitation. CEO, Company Owner October 14. 2018

I have known Mr Oster for years and have come to trust him both professionally and personally. He has assisted me with cases that other attorneys were unable to resolve. Most recently, he tried a complex contract case for me where he demonstrated a keen understanding of pertinent applicable law and of my specific issues. I would highly recommend him for his ability, his integrity, and intellect.

I have been fortunate to work closely with Kelly for several years now. I liked her as soon as I met her. She is a very hard working attorney, and more importantly (and sometimes rare) is that she really gets to know her clients, her colleagues, her peers, and the Courts. She can see the positive side in terrible situations, where she then uses her Southern charm and her bright intelligence to work through problems. She is the perfect fit for family law cases.

Alyssa helped me with a complicated child support issue. The whole process was very overwhelming and stressful. Alyssa took the bull by the horns, got me organized and prepared for the negotiations. we had a court hearing that was nerve wracking for me, but Alyssa helped me feel prepared and confident, the case was well researched in a time efficient manner, and thanks to Alyssa's guidance, the outcome was better than expected.
Even though the situation was annoying, having an awesome efficient lawyer on my side was very reassuring.

I was working for an employer who suddenly stopped paying me for my work and tried to get out of paying me at all. When I ended our contract for nonpayment, I found out he hadn't paid anyone who had left the company. I banded together with a few other people who no longer worked there and went to Daniel, who was highly recommended. Despite having much bigger accounts, Daniel was professional, helpful, and always looked out for our best interests and asked us before contacting the client. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone who needs help with employment law or any other type of case. He is an excellent lawyer to have in your corner!

I hired Mark Lyda in October 2017 to represent my companies interests in a criminal investigation and civil lawsuit after discovering that my accountant had stolen money from my firm. Mark was extremely responsive and would make himself available at all times of the day to quickly answer my questions. Mark is very knowledgeable and very experienced with fraud and theft cases. Together we developed our strategy with our civil lawsuit and then pushed to create a positive outcome. Mark always has his clients best interests at the forefront and is very focused on being a value to his clients. I would highly recommend Mark Lyda and the Lyda Law Firm.

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.
