If you're looking for an attorney who cuts through the fluff and gets the job done with laser focus, look no further than Mat! From the moment I first spoke with him, I knew I was in good hands. His direct communication style was a breath of fresh air, and he never tried to sugarcoat the situation or give me false hope. Instead, he laid out the facts clearly and explained my options in a way I could understand.
Mat truly went above and beyond in handling my case. While I focused on my recovery, he took care of all the legal heavy lifting, ensuring everything was filed on time and every detail was addressed. Not only did he tackle the legal aspects, but he also surprised me by proactively tackling the complexities of my medical insurance, saving me a tremendous amount of stress and headache.
His dedication didn't stop there. He kept me regularly updated on the progress of my case, always available to answer my questions, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. In the end, his hard work and expertise paid off, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
If you're in need of an attorney who's honest, competent, and truly fights for his clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Mat. He's a legal champion you can trust!
Also, special shout out to his amazing team as well! They were always friendly, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.
They deserve beyond 5 stars!
With much appreciation,
Steven Davis

I hired Eric 5 years ago to help with an eviction, someone living with me who was terrifying. He was not only helpful, he was completely involved, always kind, was completely honest about the law and circumstances whether I wanted to hear it or not and ended up discounting me the last 2 hours because I paid so much money to an extremely abusive tenant just out of sympathy. I've talked to many attorneys. Almost no one does that.

Please do not dismiss this review simply because it can't give actual information about Mr. Collanton's legal performance. This review goes much, much deeper than any simple client review. I know Roger Collanton as a man and watched as he became so. Many years ago, I was Roger Collanton's teacher. He was moving into his college years, and the time I spent instructing him was marvelous to experience. He threw himself into everything I taught him and would come back seeking more and more each time. For some strange reason, he seemed to look up to me, and I could see in his every action that he wanted to be the best at his art, and that he wanted me to appreciate his efforts and results. And while I felt as if his respect for me was undeserved, it was incredibly appreciated and to this day, it is one of the things that give me pride in my life. Roger has given himself to all things in this same way over the years, and even though our lives have taken a distance from each other in the world, I still know that Roger is dedicated, hard-working and caring about his clients and his career. Anyone who chooses Roger Collanton to represent them will be well-served, on legal and human levels. Take the word of someone who watched him grow into a man right before his eyes.

Thapar Law was highly recommended by my brother, and I couldn't be more grateful. My wife and I had just purchased a home and needed help with estate planning and some legal work. Karn made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free, taking the time to explain everything in detail. He made us feel like family and truly went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable every step of the way. I can’t recommend him enough for anyone in need of personal and professional legal services!

If you’re reading this review I cannot stress enough how amazing Thapar law is. My husband had a severe heart attack and had to go in for emergency surgery. We reached out to numerous law firms and nobody could service us in the appropriate time frame. We were unprepared for our situation as we are very young for this situation. Once we spoke to Mr Thapar he insured us he would take care of all our needs before the surgery which no other business would do. He was absolutely amazing to do business with. If you’re reading this please just call him you will not find a more professional and polite person to help you with all your needs. Mr. Thapar if you read this I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you did for our family. Thank you

If you get Gabby from Adams & Corzine, you will be in good hands on how to handle your legal matters. She is easily one of the most polite legal representatives I met in regards to my situation. Many other places were not interested in my accident as no one was injured, but she actually took the time to examine my story, and gave valuable feedback. In case her bosses sees this; she deserves a raise. :)

After my father and I were involved in a pretty bad car wreck, we weren't sure who to turn to for help regarding the process of our case. When we were recommended to Mr. Adams by a freind we decided to give the law firm a visit. After our first meeting we felt very welcomed as Mr. Adams not only makes a strenuous effort to come out with the best outcome for our case, but he also makes an effort to get to know you and connect in a more personal level. Being a student a Sac state and he being an alumni there, we had a good time bonding while Mr. Adams guided me through tm
he process and making sure I understood the situation and was up-to-date. If I ever find myself in a rocky situation like this again (hopefully not), there would be no other attorney and law firm I would turn to but Adams & Corzine. Thank you for everything!

Doug is an excellent lawyer. He doesn't even make you feel like he is your lawyer, he talks to you on a very personal level making you feel more like a long time friend you have known for years. When I first had my accident, Doug went out of his way to come to my house and see how I was doing. I was in a wheelchair at the time and this was very helpful of Doug. He has an excellent sense of humor but more importantly he is very smart and knows his craft well. You can tell by talking with Doug that he is well experienced and knows what he is doing. On top of that his assistant Gaby is helpful as well and answers questions in a timely manner.
Doug is the lawyer you want whenever the time comes that you need one. I have had other lawyers in the past and Doug definitely sticks out more in my mind than the others. Doug genuinely cares about his clients and he is a man of his word. He is professional, personal and not hard to get ahold of. Doug thoroughly goes through your case with you making sure you understand everything and all the details surrounding it. You will not regret choosing Doug as your lawyer! I have recommended him to my family and friends.

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.
