I can't say enough positive thoughts about Joseph. He is smart, tough, dedicated and truly a good person who cares. I interviewed a few different lawyers before I retained Joseph, and he always had a positive attitude, and was constantly brainstorming for the best way to present my case, so we could ultimately achieve the right results. Don't waste your time looking for another attorney....Joseph is the man that will get the job done!!

Working with Mr. Hughes was a great experience. He was extremely professional and thorough, was readily available, and really took charge of the case as though -- as one reviewer has mentioned -- it was his only case. I contacted him because, months after we moved out in good standing, our landlord had not responded to numerous requests to return our $3,600 security deposit. I was a little leery, because this out-of-state landlord can be arrogant. In addition, we had accidentally damaged some flooring and acknowledged we expected to forfeit some of the deposit. Our landlord was served Monday, April 30 and began negotiating with Mr. Hughes that same day. On May 1, we had a settlement, and on May 3, the agreed-upon amount was wired into our account (more than we expected to recover). After fees and costs, the landlord ended up spending more than the $3,600 he withheld, which we hope will improve his dealings with tenants in the future. Well done, Mr. Hughes!

Mason agreed to take on my Divorce case very late in the process; 2 weeks until my mediation and I was in need of a new attorney. He came highly recommended to me and one call to his very knowledgeable and polite assistant got me the yes I needed. After an initial introductory zoom call and quick review of my situation I knew I had hired the right attorney. He was able to assess my needs and review with me multiple options. If I had questions relating to proposals he was available by email and zoom whenever needed. Mediation went far better than I expected given his great advice and my confidence in our ability to work things through. I highly recommend his services.

Mason is an extremely dedicated professional who handled my case with great care and efficiency. He was always in contact with me to keep me informed and he was very easy to communicate. He answered my questions and clarified my concerns in detail. He never failed to call me back and respond to my emails. I felt confident having him representing me although my case was very complicated. He made it simple and short and achieved the goal I was seeking. I would refer him to anyone who needed a very good divorce lawyer.

I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Nolan Klein. I felt that I was in a unique position when I found myself looking for an attorney in another country and I must say I found the right person to represent me, achieving the best result for me in a timely manner. Nolan and his staff were always professional, courteous, caring and friendly. They were always prompt to respond to emails or phone calls (even with the time difference) which I found quite amazing. Thank you Nolan.

You can't get a better attorney than Rom. On time, intelligent, and to the point. His work is done flawlessly. If his work must go through the courts, it is done without hesitation and closed quickly. His staff is knowledgeable and courteous. His support comes from (which he is a member of) an old and reputable family firm. If you are in search of an attorney, you should look no further than Rom and his firm. Like me, you will be glad that you did!!!

I was given Mr Trinkler's number by the office of Cheryl Bucker when I called about a possible guardianship matter for an elderly relative I care for. Mr Trinkler was so helpful, kind and understanding. He listened patiently and was supportive and gave me wonderful and helpful advice. There was no charge for this initial contact, but he fully informed me what charge there would be if I wanted to proceed with a certain matter. However, he was glad to give me advice to avoid further issues! I have no words to say how impressed I was with his patience, understanding and helpful advice. If I do need further legal assistance, I would seek out Mr Trinkler with no hesitation! Thank you Mr Trinkler!

We contacted his office by referral from another office. He provided us with a free 20 minute phone conversation about the potentials of our situation, after he reviewed documents I sent him via email, on pdf format. He explained why we did not have a good case to pursue, and was very compassionate about how we might feel about the fact that it wasn't something we could do well to pursue. He also laid out the options of what the potentials might be if we did want to pursue it. We felt very peaceful after speaking to him, even though we decided not to pursue it. It was a pleasure to speak with Attorney Trinkler and we appreciate the advice.

My family and I needed a probate attorney. We needed to settle my mother’s estate after she passed away. I looked for a probate attorney and they never got back with me after leaving several messages and I had to keep calling. When I did received a call back they did not explain the process just told me what their fee was and I had to pay it upfront. Needless to say I seek help from someone else. I called Mr. Lorenzo on a Saturday afternoon and he answered and explained the process of what to be expected. He sounded very knowledgeable and also caring. I felt so relieved after speaking to him and I knew I had found the right attorney. Mr. Lorenzo was there for my family and I through a difficult time and case. Mr. Lorenzo showed us empathy and trust which are two important factors to me.Through out the process he kept us informed of every detailed of the case. I’m so glad we did not stay with the other attorney. We made the right choice. I would highly recommend Mr. Lorenzo to others who are looking for a caring and trustworthy attorney who is knowledgeable of the law. Thank you Mr. Lorenzo. My family and I are very grateful to you.

I highly recommend Daniel Hernandez (Danny). After a frustrating battle with my house insurance company, my public adjuster reached out to him for help. From our first consultation, I felt confident in his expertise and professionalism. Danny took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and crafted a solid strategy that led to a favorable outcome. Danny was not afraid to push forward even if litigation was needed. Danny communicated with me every step of the way, ensuring I was informed and comfortable with the process. Thanks to his hard work, the insurance company settled and I received the compensation I deserved. If you’re facing challenges with your insurance company, do yourself a favor and have him represent your case.

I have always been wary of attorneys, as I have heard horror stories of over charging and drawn out processes. I can confidently say that I experienced none of that with Mr. Rosenthal. I am confident that I have found my life long attorney. From start to finish Mr. Rosenthal made me feel calm and confident that I was going to be ok. Mr. Rosenthal was very good about keeping me informed on where we stood in the process. To come accross a professional so knowledgeable, honest, and efficient has been a breath of fresh air.

When other lawyers were unable to decipher the legal complexities in the matter that I sought representation for Mark and his team invested countless hours to come up with the appropriate answers needed in order to represent my side and ultimately prevail in a supremely complex matter that absorbed hundreds of man hours researching a legal question that had very little explanation nor understanding. Prior to acquiring Mark's assistance I reached out to several other law firms all were inconclusive in the matter or lacked complete and total understanding of it refusing to help me in any way. I am extremely grateful for Mark and his team not giving up on me and taking the time that clearly was needed in order to gain a complete understanding of my position and approaching our matter supremely informed over the opposing parties allowing us to prevail.

Michael was very good at helping us to navigate the complexities of buying a new home. He helped us to identify potential risks, and to make informed decisions. You do need your own lawyer in dealing with a builder, even a established builder with good reputation. Builder contracts tend to be written to favor them not you, and you do not want to overlook things that might become future surprises.

However, it is with great sadness to learn while at hearing today that Mr. Fields 's sister just passed away. It was very heartbreaking to see how overstricken grief he was while standing before the judge explaining his situation while wearing Khaki pants and a bright orange and white horizontal striped golf shirt. Rest well Mr. Fields, our sincerest prayers are with you and we all sincerely hope your sister is in a much better place... Amen.

Sam is probably one of the smartest lawyers I have ever met. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and uses his vast experience to represent his clients effectively. He has represented me and my family several times over the years. After Sam's help on a series of traffic tickets, my family's insurance didn't go up a dime, not a single point on my license, and I never had to go to traffic school, ever. I would definitely use him again.

Mr. Feinstein was hired by us to handle a hotly contested multi-jurisdiction multi-party, multi-million-dollar litigation, involving the investment and construction of a multiunit condominium building in the Dominican Republic. In my opinion it all “came to a head” after his brutal cross-examination of opposing counsel's Dominican Republic Attorney at the evidentiary hearing addressing whether or not the local proceedings should be stayed, due to the prior pendency of the Dominican Republic litigation. His combined knowledge of real estate and expertise as a trial attorney yielded us a much larger settlement than he had originally anticipated

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success.
  3. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
