I found Mr. Corso's name on the internet and was surprised to get Mr. Corso personally when I called the number. He took time to listen to my situation and then explained the process to me. After hiring Mr. Corso, I found him to be accessible, attentive, personable, and very knowledgeable. I am thankful for his assistance during a very difficult time.

I absolutely cannot thank Mr. Corso enough. I received Jeff's information from a friend/referral. I called him and immediately heard from him. He listened when I spoke to him. He would tell me just openly and honestly if it was usable in court or not. He gave me great advice on what to do next. Always gave me a call back or a text back. He works very well with the other lawyers and wants to truly do right by you and your loved ones. He makes you feel like you are his family. I will most definitely be happy to refer him to friends and family when needed.

Without the help of the entire Cooney, Corso & Moynihan Law Firm. I know I wouldn't be here spending time with my children. Mr. Corso took the bull by the horns and actively advocated for me in what was a horrific 5 year battle post divorce with my ex. He told behind me when he realized what was going on. He made no promises but he said he would do everything he could to resolve this matter. My ex's attorneys are snakes but Jeff rose above that and for that I'm forever grateful. In less than 2 weeks later I had phone calls with my kids and visits. I can't thank him enough and I will forever be grateful for what he accomplished in 5 short months what other lawyers couldn't do in 5 years. Mr. Corso took on an extremely difficult post divorce case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. He worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. He has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though we faced challenges, Mr. Corso did not falter. His thorough research provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I highly recommend Cooney, Corso & Moynihan Law Firm as I have never been nor have I ever seen anyone treated better. I am proud to be a Cooney, Corso & Moynihan Law client. I will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands."

I talked with Adam about possibly helping me to reach a resolution concerning a property valuation dispute. He listened, explained the options, and I enlisted his services. In short order he was able to get a suitable resolution without unnecessary delay or expense. I am very pleased with the result and would recommend him to friends and family.

I had a serious matter in DuPage and I immediately called Mr. Scott. He got back to me right away and told me he would handle it, which was a huge relief. He kept in touch with me in the days leading up to court about my matter, and outlined general strategies that he would use to help me fight my case.
Mr. Scott always kept me informed throughout the course of my case. On my last court date on the matter, he was able to negotiate an excellent deal with the State right before heading to trial. He told the State to wait while he explained the ramifications of the deal in detail so that I knew what I was accepting, and he always made it clear that it was my choice and he would do what I wanted.
Thanks to Mr. Scott's knowledge and expertise, I was able to go home that night and have dinner with my family, and soon I'll be able to put this whole thing behind me and have a clean record once more.
I'm so glad I retained his services. He fought on my behalf and did everything he could to get me the best outcome possible, which he did. I was very relieved as soon as I hired him, because I knew he was the best man for the job. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Scott!

I will definitely be using her in the future if I need her. Thank you!

Attorney Waite followed through as promised. My car was repossessed for failing to stay current on car payments. Mr. Waite not only got my car back, but he was able to lower my monthly payments as my car depreciated over time. Mr. Waite is knowledgeable and kind. He asked me what I wanted to do and he did his best to make that happen. If you are in financial trouble, call him ASAP!

If I could give negative stars, I would. This was the most unorganized, rude, stressful situation I have ever experienced. If you want to feel like you are going to literally lose your mind, use this firm. Asking for a new document every day, losing documents, no communication, not knowing what documents are needed, not responsive to client or the title company. I closed on my house and he didn’t even tell me that we closed. Sends forms to fill out with no instructions. Does not explain anything. No wonder he has less than 20 reviews in all the years being a lawyer. He was also suspended for fraud (which i did not know). This guy and his firm are a joke… DO NOT USE.

I’ve had experience closing on a property and utilized different lawyers. I chose this group because of the good reviews. My experience was no better. First of all the paralegal is doing all the work. I wanted to hire an attorney not a paralegal. My paralegal in particular was Tracie she was a nice person but pick and chose which of my emails she wanted to respond to, never answered all my questions, did not include me on all decision making, and I don’t feel she advocated for me. Every other lawyer I’ve dealt with had been able to get me a credit and this was the first time around I didn’t. She also did not include the attorney on all emails which she should have because she’s not a lawyer. The attorney that was included on most of my emails throughout the process did not show up to my closing because he was “out of town”. The last minute I got assigned a random attorney who hadn’t been on any emails prior and had no information on anything. Yes I understand the other lawyer could fill him in but it’s not the same. I was highly upset by this and overall very dissatisfied with the service I received from this company. I would not use them again in the future.

Christina was extremely detailed and thorough. She is good representation for a first time buyer or seller or someone who sells and buys often. We buy and sell properties for a small investment company and have never worked with an attorney that worked this hard for us. She was in top of every deadline and explained all our options to us. So happy to have found her.

To be very honest, she was very irresponsible, unprofessional and more importantly, does not think of client's best interests when working for us. She only handled very few real estate cases so she does not have enough knowledge to handle special situations. We suspected that she purposely avoided telling us our options and rights in the contract.

I felt I was deceived about the fee, the services and the effort he put into my case. I found out 2 years after the fact that he had been going through a divorce at the same time and fashioned my settlement as he wished he could his own. I did not like the way he looked at me at times and was very disappointed as a mother of 3, losing her house, married 15 years and no alimony or maintenance. Child support only.

My experience was Pathetic. Multiple times I was told that William White AKA “Bill” was too busy to call or email me back. Sure, you pay him $$$ upfront and chase the crook later, Perhaps a common practice, but in perspective to how my case was handled, opportunistic.

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.
