Efficient. No time is wasted getting to the facts and resolution. She also asks what outcome you want, given that there is usually room for interpretation and more than one option and give you her perspective on the likelihood of achieving that outcome. A great resource to have on retainer, just in case.

I called in to explain a particularly egregious landlord retaliation issue and the intake person cared not to listen to understand. Instead they listened to respond and interrupted my explanation to ask questions that would be answered if they just listened. As it is now I would not use Lusk Law until they get someone to do intake that cares about your problems.

Our experience with Rebekah and her team was exceptional. Dealing with a legal matter isn't something I ever wanted to do, and I imagine this could have been much more anxiety-inducing. But at every step, Rebekah and Louisa kept us in the loop and explained our options in realistic terms. I appreciate the calm and concentrated demeanor of everyone on the Lusk team, and would recommend them to anyone seeking real estate legal expertise.

She made my MSA iron clad and so grateful! I totally recommend her! I have to go back to court though because my ex has not followed the financials of the MSA and if I had more money to spare I would definitely hire her!!!

Diana Schobel handled my divorce from start to finish. She handled every aspect of what issues arose and provided phenomenal legal advice commensurate with her extensive experience. She guided me through the entire process, explaining things to me (sometimes a few times). I rate her an A++. I could not have asked for a better attorney.

We contracted with Diana M Schobel to assist with a DLLR - Work Place Fraud audit. Ms Schobel was able to help us resolve this matter quickly, at minimal expense. She was efficient, professional, and very personable. Ms. Schobel was able to keep up informed as to the status of our case without resorting to excessive billing. We were very happy with her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her firm.

I worked with RWC for some estate planning stuff. They were amazing. Super thorough and buttoned up but very down to earth as well. Helped make the process of building out an estate plan, which can be difficult and unsettling, very seamless and pleasant. They supported us every step of the way. Thank you Andrew, Chaz and Cassie for your help!

During the past five years, it has been our pleasure to work with Dave Weaver on a wide range of corporate legal matters. He has always been timely, professional and top-notch. We expected no less from a firm of their experience and reputation. What was less expected - and very welcome - was the extra effort he made to understand and proactively assist our organization. Weaver & Fitzpatrick, P.A. is not only our law firm, they are a trusted adviser and valuable member of our business team. I would recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Beth is one of the few attorneys I have found in my business career who is truly dedicated to the client. She is not only competent, honest and extremely brilliant, she is caring and dedicated to the client's concerns. She is strong, aggressive and doesn't back down in protecting her client's interests. These are very rare traits in this day and age where most lawyers are looking first to maximize their own billing hours. She is quick to respond and does not tell you what you want to hear, but whaty you need to hear. She is the personification of what an attorney is supposed to be.

I have had the pleasure of working with Horman Nichols on my personal injury case and highly recommend their expertise. Andy Nichols was referred to me by a family friend, and from the outset, he and his staff demonstrated exceptional expertise, knowledge, patience, and kindness. While needing legal representation is never ideal, if you find yourself in such a situation, I strongly advise contacting the offices of Horman Nichols.

Lawyer Carrillo has been our attorney for the past nine years, and he has truly become part of our family. He represented us when we applied for a U visa, and thanks to him, we received it. After three years, we were able to apply for permanent residency, and he was also our attorney during that process. Now, thanks to him and his team, my family and I are green card holders. He did an amazing job and treated us like family rather than clients. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

He saved me and my business a lot of money when it came to what I owed. He was honest and reliable every step of the way.

My experience with the firm, including Carla Clarke and Heidi Myers in particular, was nothing short of excellent. Of course, nobody seeks legal counsel because of happy circumstances - which makes empathy, patience, sound and thorough guidance, and attention to detail all the more helpful, if not critical. Flynn & Clarke showed all of these in spades and were pivotal in supporting me through challenging circumstances and ultimately in securing an equitable, positive outcome where my case was concerned. I never felt pressured toward one avenue or another, and while it was a business relationship that involved (a very fair and reasonable amount of) monetary consideration, that never felt at the forefront; if anything, it was made clear that the goal was to avoid dragging things out to pad fees. I can't recommend the firm highly enough. Thank you, again!

Carla Clarke is a lawyer powerhouse! Her knowledge spans a long list of topics. No matter your legal need, trust that Carla of Flynn & Clarke along with her team will surpass your expectations. I experienced consistent communication, clear direction of what I could do to help my case’s progress, deep empathy for the situation I was experiencing and timely responses to my questions. Carla took time to explain the legal processes of my situation and give me clear, confident opinions concerning what I should do. Although I maintained control in my decision making, she never left me feeling alone in how to make the best choice. Specifically, I had to escape my abusive marriage and flee my beloved family farm with my son. My ex represented themselves and their behavior was contentious to say the very least. They aggressively challenged Carla on every detail and down right disrespected her every chance they got. Carla was completely unfazed and instead became even more methodical in her approach. At every turn, she kept mine and my son’s safety at the center of our desired outcomes, but never once lost sight of appropriately using the legal system to ensure I and my son were no longer taken advantage of or put in danger any longer.
Make no hesitation - you have found the best lawyer for your legal needs in Carla Clarke of Flynn & Clarke!

I highly recommend giving the Machin Law firm a call. Manuel was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Going through divorce is overwhelming and there’s so much information thrown at you. He really took the time to explain things to me so that I could make the best decisions and take the proper steps for my family. This team will not disappoint! I felt that they genuinely cared about my case - and that’s hard to find.

Mr. Robinson has been my lawyer for the last 5 years. I have a very difficult case and he leads me through all process throughout the court system.

Mr. Robinson have been with me from the beginning even when I go through challenges he calm me down and tell me what the next steps will be.

My wife contacted Mr. Robinson's office to see if he would be a good attorney for a matter involving a bank breaching a settlement agreement since he advertises that he specializes in consumer law. We were scheduled for a consultation, but when I emailed him to ask about why his initial consultation fee of $300 was so high and explained to him that no other attorneys I have spoken to or used in the past have ever required an exorbitant fee for an initial consultation and asked if he offered a free consultation, he emailed me back telling me that he closed my file because of my question and said that I could certainly seek free legal services if I wanted free advice. I emailed him back to explain that I was not asking him to close my file or seeking free legal advice, but just wanted to know if he provided legal advice during the consultation and asked for an explanation of the fee. His response was that he can no longer provide me with help with the matter which my wife initially contacted him for or any other matter. He told me that I'm not the type of client that he wants and he's not the type of attorney I wish to engage and that my question was previously answered by his paralegal. I had never spoken to or emailed him before. My wife had only spoken to his paralegal. I asked my wife if she had asked the paralegal why the fee was so high and what services he provides during the consultation and she said no. When the paralegal mentioned the consultation fee, she only asked if that was something we could handle, but she never explained why the fee was so high or what we could expect during the consultation. Mr. Robinson's response was rude and uncalled for, especially since this was his first and only communication with me. A potential client should be able to ask questions for clarification. Mr. Robinson came off as arrogant which was unexpected since he claims to be a consumer advocate.

Hired this attorney without looking him up online. The negative aspects of reviews that were only gleaned after signing his fee agreement are absolutely true. If you enjoy being ignored and disrespected by your lawyer and staff; he's your guy. Once you sign the fee agreement you'll be entirely SOL. Keep looking and interviewing potential legal representation carefully before choosing your champion. Clients deserve better treatment than this practice is patently capable of offering. Had I known that he'd been reprimanded for professional misconduct before hiring him you wouldn't be reading this review. Caveat Emptor! (Latin for "Let the Buyer Beware!")

I felt that Mr Slater was a decent attorney. I cant say that I was completely satisfied. I feel like he in many cases went with the easy resolution rather then fighting for what I wanted and could legally have with some negotiating. My biggest issue is that I was not kept informed with what was going on in my case. We only met once outside the court house and he didn't take enough time to understand my position on many issues. In between hearings I would get court papers no human contact. When I did call him to clarify the documents I was often told its just a formality don't worry about it. I feel that he will do what he has to do, although if you are looking for someone who will truly work with you and and take the time to fight for you then he may not be your best bet. If you have an easy separation and just need someone to be there for paperwork then he is great.

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.
