I cannot recommend this law firm highly enough. After many months of stalled negotiations over a highly contested site access agreement, Michael and his team were the ones who finally got us over the finish line. They represented us both in and out of court, ultimately securing an agreement that not only protected our property but also ensured the health and safety of my family.
Michael's expertise was evident as he navigated the complexities of the law, the court system, and various state departments. But what truly set him apart was his empathy. He took the time to listen to our concerns, understood the stakes, and fought tirelessly for our rights. This was more than just a legal victory; it was a personal one. We felt heard, supported, and ultimately, safe.
If you're looking for a law firm that combines legal prowess with genuine care for their clients, then this is the one. Thank you, Michael, for everything!

Mr. Speck assisted me in handling my brother's DUI cases, which involved a couple of legal issues. Thankfully, with his help, we were able to get the last one dismissed, which could have resulted in jail time. Although the process was a bit prolonged, Mr. Speck remained dedicated and committed to our case. We are grateful for his support and pleased with the outcome.

Our business is a family owned wholesale distributor and we have been working with Matt for over a year now. We couldn't be happier with the caliber of service, responsiveness and continual professionalism Matt has demonstrated thus far. He has helped us with a number of collections cases, which we had been trying to deal with in-house, unsuccessfully, for many years. Matt's approach has allowed us to address problematic accounts in a professional manner without jeopardizing our long term business relationships. Throughout each case, Matt has been able to clearly explain all of our options and their potential outcomes, as well as how each situation plays into the broader context of our business.
Additionally, Matt has been advising us on our internal processes related to our customer credit accounts. He has helped identify ways for us to better protect ourselves when extending credit and ways to make sure we are in the best position possible in the event that something goes wrong. Working with Matt, we feel much more informed about the legal process and the systems in place to help companies like us deal with different situations.
We will undoubtedly continue our relationship with Matt and give him our highest endorsement.

I have worked with Matthew in the past year on 2 different areas of business law. Matthew was extremely detail oriented putting together a business agreement and spent a tremendous amount of time answering all my questions and listening to my needs and understanding my intent of the agreement. Matthew also has helped me with some employee issues and I am certain he directed me in the correct direction. I have and will recommend Matthew to any business owner looking for solid advice or representation.

Working with Mr. Blaine was an experience in a class by itself. Not only was he very professional, timely, and informative, he was personable enough to relate to on a level that helped with the stress of dealing with a legal matter. My phone calls were returned the same day every time, emails returned within an hour or two at most, and Mr. Blaine never seemed to be rushing me through any of my questions or concerns. Any time I had a question, he would listen genuinely and walk me through the steps it took to resolve the issue.

After years of unsuccessfully trying to recover monies that were taken from me and being told that nothing could be done, in stepped Mr. Lomurro.
I am thankful beyond words for all his help.
He went above and beyond and did not stop until all of my monies were recovered.
I will forever be grateful!
Would give him a million stars if possible.

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.
