Mia Frieder
Mia worked on a car accident case for me from 2014 to 2017. I had numerous treatments and in the end had to have major back surgery. The insurance Company never made me any offer of settlement. Mia was able to obtain settlements from three different insurance Company.
I can cannot say enough about Mia. You could not ask for more in an Attorney. Mia is a caring person and puts the client first. She takes time to understand her client’s needs and works one on one through out the process. She keeps you up to date on your case at all times. You are never left in the dark as to the status of your case. From day one she was like a very close caring friend and remained that way over the (3) three years she worked with me.
Her Husband Ron Hilley also was very caring and sportive through out the process.
I would be remiss If I did not mention Mia’s office support. They were excellent through out the process as well especially Vanessa and Brian. You could not ask for more support and understanding in trying times.
I highly recommend Mia.

After I had fallen at work I hired an attorney who said that my case was not worth much money. I then hired Ron Hilley who got me a settlement many times the amount that the first attorney said my case was worth. While my workers' compensation case was going on, Mia Frieder told me that she thought that we could sue the building for my fall. The building owners would not settle without a lawsuit. Mia and Ron filed suit and got me a confidential settlement with which I was completely satisfied. I have recommended Hilley & Frieder to friends who said they were pleased.

In February, 2014 i took one of the worst spills of my life,and it happened on the premises of One of the World's Largest Department Store Retailers in America. i fell backwards due to a substance carelessly left on the floor by an employee. After falling, i was in excruciating pain,embarassed,confused and didn't know what to do. As a single mom,self employed with no reliable health coverage,this accident put a sudden stop to my busy lifestyle. To add to my fears i knew i needed help facing this Mega Big Corporate Company........until i found Hilley & Frieder,........Mia not only recovered an Astounding Six-figure settlement on my behalf, ,but she restored my Health,Confidence,Faith in Legal matters and most of all my Trust....The process went by quickly too. i Highly recommend Hilley & Frieder, hands down!!!

Jonathan handled my personal injury case very well. He was very attentive and was able to answer any questions that I had. He put me with great doctors to help me get back on my feet, and I was able to get a good settlement for my injury. His office staff was also professional and friendly. If I ever have an accident again, there's no question that I would want Jonathan to handle my case!

My husband was hit by a negligent young driver. The insurance company for that driver was a bottom of the barrel outfit that didn't even want to accept fault even though the police report said it was her fault and a completely independent witness said it was her fault. We were referred to Jonathan and when he met with us initially he told us that the claim should be resolved pretty swiftly, but warned us that the insurance on the other side was substandard and that waters could get choppy.
That insurance company tried to low ball us from the beginning, but Jonathan made them pay for it in the end. Their offer didn't double after we hired Jonathan, it didn't triple, it went up about five times. It's not that we wanted a big pay day, we wanted fair compensation for all of my husband's injuries. His rotator cuff was torn in that crash, and that's not small potatoes.
I would hire Jonathan if you want someone that's going to deal with you directly, talk to you straight so that you can understand what's going on, and someone that's going to fight with all he can to hold the responsible parties accountable.

I was hit by a young driver that failed to yield making a left turn. Liability was clear from the start. The policeman wrote her a ticket, an independent witness called the cops and spoke to the officer at the scene, and they totaled out my baby (favorite car) right away. But when it came time to take responsibility and to pay for my medical bills, they offered far less than the total bills, from the ER trip.
That's when I called Jonathan. He met with me and laid out a strategy to fight for me so I got what I deserved Well, that insurance company went from bad to worse. So Jonathan sued. We went through the litigation process, depositions, and all of the discovery process. After the case was put on a trial calendar and ordered to mediation, we walked in with a $ 0 offer. That's right, the insurance company pulled the little they offered me shortly after the wreck. But Jonathan was just getting to work.
Jonathan fought for me, worked the mediator, and insurance defense attorneys to the point of no return. He explained to them how they faced serious bad faith if they did not offer me the policy limits for the claim. By the end of the mediation, I had received an offer for the full policy limits of $ 25,000. A few weeks later, I go an offer for the full policy limits of my underinsured coverage, $ 30,000 more. He went from $ 0 to the maximum coverage, the hard way. The long way, and the right way.
I wouldn't have gotten anything close to that amount without Jonathan's help, his knowledge, and his willingness to fight for my justice. I never wanted a handout, but I didn't want to be shorted. Jonathan got me what I deserved, and I've already recommended him to family and friends, who have been just as pleased.

My wife and I were more than impressed w/ Mr. Berk. Being from out of state, calling to retain on short notice, he took the time to speak w/ me about my civil litigation issue.

Kevin Snyder is a total professional. He is calm, patient and methodical in his explanations. He answered any question we asked with the same calm demeanor that seems to be his way of doing things.

David E Oles is by far the most effective attorney that I have seen in action in the dealing of child custody. He worked tremendously well (using his Harvard education) enhancing my local counsel in Colorado with his excellent leadership helping the productivity of the time spent in the local court. I have been through a highly litigated divorce/battle for over 7 years as the result of trying to exercise my minimal court ordered time with my children against horrible opposition. I have never felt the court has completely heard my side or ruled in any way to assist me with this until now.
My children have been severely alienated and were used as weapons by their mother. It has been her goal to undermine, brainwash, lie, and do everything in her power to try and stop me from my weekend visitation with my children. She has used the school, church, friends, public court system, child protective services, restraining orders and numerous false police reports in attempt to achieve this and was very close to getting this done. Through the past three years I was reported to child protected services 9 times unfounded. These reports were carried out by a violence advocacy group counselor 6 times, 3 times by the mother and her friend’s. Previous court orders have only empowered the mother of my children to do this. When David entered my case in May of 2012 my oldest son was refusing to see me and the younger two were in the process of doing the same. From that time to date there were emergency motions to stop my vacation time with the children twice, once from the mother and once from a biased anti dad child legal representative.
All denied by a very wise magistrate. This would have never happened if David Oles didn't intervene with motions and repeals to protect my parenting time. In the final hearing there was contempt along with a motion to modify. David Oles went against 3 female attorneys (2 that specialize in high conflict custody from Denver) and a CLR (who was extremely biased against me) all with the goal to diminishing my time with the children to supervised parenting time and tripling my child support. They combined had twice the court time that we did. Under severe time constraints David got all the important evidence that the magistrate needed to hear and crossed every important point leaving the mother the liar that she is, exposing the un-ethical counselor for what she was and discrediting all of their witnesses. The opposing party had us two to one and left with their heads hanging and the truth prevailed which is not easy in this kind of case.
Thanks to David working with and leading local counsel, my parenting time is significantly increased and the following has been ordered to happen. The court has found alienation to exist by the mother (doesn’t happen often in my county).
My child support didn’t change in fact went down a little. We won a sanctions/contempt with double the make-up time and attorney’s fees. The un-ethical counselor was rejected by the court (no longer aloud to see the children and found to be coaching the children practicing dual relationships) with enough evidence to go after her legally if necessary. The mother is required to get therapy with the threat of custody change if she continues this behavior.
I feel that David E Oles is not just an attorney. He is an attorney that truly has found his niche or calling in life. He commands a presence against all odds in stubborn courts that have a hard time with doing things out of the norm of what “local society likes” and sees as correct. Man or women I would recommend him to either, my one regret is that I didn’t find him sooner.

Words alone cannot express just how great David Oles and his staff have been. A family member recommended I speak with him based on other professional recommendations. I have found his firm to surpass every expectation of service, professionalism, experience, knowledge, and attentiveness. He also has outstanding court room presence and is an amazing litigator. He has always been expertly prepared and has never failed to deliver less than exceptional performance. Due to an exceptionally violent and litigious ex-spouse with multiple personality disorders, the past decade has required me to be in court an unfathomable number of times. This has placed me in the unfortunate position of being able to offer a very informed opinion. While most of the attorneys I have worked with are very good and dedicated to their cases, David stands out as a true expert in comparison. He is a recognized expert by his peers, and that alone is worth its weight in gold. He has never failed to provide guidance when needed, and that is absolutely critical when the stakes are the safety and well being of your children. His staff is the best I've ever seen, hands down. David has not been just an attorney, but a true advocate for my family. I hope no one ever experiences the difficulties that we have, but should you find yourself in need of the very best, look no further than David Oles.

I was referred to Stuart by a former associate for representation in my federal case. I was shopping around for lawyers and am glad I hired Mr Mones. Dealing with these matters can be extremely stressful and take a lot out of you. I felt at ease and confident with Mr Mones representing me. My case went to trial not once but twice and the results speak for themselves. I am here free sitting at home and typing this review. I am so glad I had competent attorney working my case . If I ever need representation again for anything I wont hesitate to call Stuart.

I was referred to Ben from a local attorney in the southern portion of the State of Georgia. A Lawsuit was being handled in the Atlanta, Ga. Courts and he agreed to handle my interest. I was extremely impressed with his eagerness to try getting the Insurance Company I was paying large amounts of money for insurance, to get involved and do what I was paying for, "Protection". He intervened with the insurance companies and the case until the case was transferred back south to Valdosta, Ga. I would highly recommend Ben as an attorney that will dig in and protect your interests. I consider him a friend and a prized contact.

Jerry is a terrific lawyer. My son was questioned by Homeland Security agents on a Sunday of a 4th of July weekend. He found Jerry on the internet and called him. Jerry answered the phone, he was in his office. He met my son that day. My wife and I met with him later and he seemed to understand the process very well. We hired him. What a great attorney. He was knowledgeable, a skilled negotiator, very good in court, and dedicated to my son's case. He made himself 100% available, the guy answers his phone at any hour! We knew that my son was guilty, but after several meetings with the prosecutor and court hearings he struck an agreement. My son was looking at 8-10 years hard time. He is serving 18 months in a prison camp. We paid Jerry a good sum, but it was well spent. I would recommend him highly.

It is actually an understatement to call him brilliant. My case with the federal government extended over ten years. His diligence to the law and detail was surpassed by none of the other defendants' attorneys. I trusted him completely with my future and never had any reason to second guess his abilities or knowledge. He was always available when I had questions or concerns . He was well respected and received by all in the courtroom.

After working with Attorney Rucker I can firmly attest that he is the absolute best litigation and Trial Attorney in the state. My case was dropped by a prior Attorney so to reach the final outcome of a very successful jury verdict of $250,000 from an injury feels like total vindication. I would not have this outcome if it were not for his personal expertize, determination and regard that he showed to my situation from the moment I retained him. No other Attorneys in the state would take my difficult case. Watching him in court I witnessed a truly smart professional who is a master of his craft. He cares and he has a powerful skillset as a litigator that he utilizes to his clients greatest advantage in order to ensure that his clients no longer have to suffer from the many impacts of an injury caused by another.

My experience with Attorney Ryan Rucker was absolutely phenomenal! I had 2 different lawyers tell me that I had no chance of winning my case before meeting Attorney Rucker. Ryan was confident that he could obtain the necessary evidence to win my case and he did! He is the truly one of the best litigators in the State. The jury awarded me over $175,000.00!! Needless to say, I recommend Attorney Rucker to you if you want to win...BIG!

Efficiency accompanied by courtesy is a rare combination in today's world. The service provided to me by Attorney Ryan Rucker during the almost year long process of my case was impressive because of its rarity.
When I had questions concerning anything I was provided with detailed explanations and personal assistance. Such concern is refreshing and should become more widespread in the legal community.

Mrs. McLeod represented me in a medical malpractice case I was involved in. It was my first time being sued and so I had no clue what to expect. From the time of our initial contact, Mrs. McLeod not only did an amazing job representing me, but also explaining the "process" and helping me navigate through this immensely stressful situation for the first time. Her professionalism was exceptional, but what really surprised me was her empathy and compassion. I could truly tell she wanted a good outcome for me almost as a friend would hope things went well for me. She did amazing and helped me get a great outcome in my case. I would have no problem strongly recommending Mrs. Mcleod.

Two years ago when I first met with Stuart he advised me based on the facts at the time to try to settle my issue outside of the legal process based on the facts at the time. One year later he re-visited my situation at my request, accepted the challenge, and with his knowledge in the area of County Laws and Homeowners Associations we arrived at a settlement satisfactory to all parties within about a year of filing the lawsuit. I would not hesitate to recommend Stuart Teague to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, capable and successful lawyer in Forsyth County, Georgia.

When I started looking for a lawyer, I knew exactly what I wanted and needed. What I wanted was a lawyer who had the knowledge to handle my situation and be willing to research all of the finer details. What I needed, and this is very important to me, was someone who I felt I could really trust and count on. Personality always matters to me. I need to feel a connection with a person in order to be able to have them be a part of my life.
In my effort to find an attorney, I spoke with quite a few. Although some of them represented themselves in a great way, I did not feel the connection that I was looking for. I simply needed more. Then a friend of mine told me about James Stuart Teague. They only had good things to say about him. So, I decided it was worth making yet another phone call. I left a message for Mr. Teague, and within 45 minuutes, he returned my call. I was pretty amazed by this, due to the fact that it was well past 5:00 p.m. I thought I would not get a call till the next day. Then, not only did he call me back after hours, but he stayed on the phone with me for well over an hour discussing my issues. Within the first fifteen minutes of our conversation, I knew that I had found my lawyer. His knowledge base was amazing, and he immediately made me feel less stressed about my situation. I knew that this was the person who I needed and wanted to be on my side. After our conversation, I felt that not only had I chosen the best lawyer to help me, but I had chosen a person that I would want to have as a friend. Again, that is very important to me.
Well, here I am six months later, writing this with a big smile on my face! I did make the right choice. James Stuart Teague is amazing. Any time you have to deal with an attorney, it is going to be stressful. However, he has made this whole process so much less stressful then I ever could have imagined. He has a calmness about him that really puts you at ease. He has researched all that has needed to be researched, and he always tells it like it is. I call or email him with questions and concerns probably more than the average person would, and he always gets back to me in a timely matter. He never seems rushed or bothered. I am aware that he has many other clients that he is working with, however, I always feel as if I am his only one. He really makes you feel special! My situation is going along quite smoothly and both my husband and myslelf are just thrilled with "my" pick. We are also happy because it is always nice to make a new friend. So, whether he likes it or not, James Stuart Teague will not only remain our lifelong attorney, he will also remain our lifelong friend.

Despite my mother and father leaving a well written and organized estate plan, the recent death of my father, after mother's death in October 2008, my need for legal guidance on the probation of my father's will was overwellming. Initially, I sought-out the assistance of their estate attorney in Florida. But because my father died as a resident of Georgia, to probate his estate, I needed an attorney in Georgia. This is where attorney Stephen Carley helped tremendously. After being referred to me by my parents' Florida Attorney, Steve wiped out all of my anixeties in probating my father's estate. He listened, planned, agreed, and he implemented our agreement with a very high degree of professionalism. I highly recommend attorney Stephen Carley.

He is the most knowledgeable attorney that I deal with across the country. John understands the importance of providing excellent service at all levels, aside from his actual legal expertise, which is vital for the type of cases I handle and assign to counsel.
I have seen John try numerous cases, and he is outstanding in trial. He has a commanding presence in the courtroom, and can connect with jurors from all walks of life. I handle cases from Los Angeles to Miami and still consider John as my home run hitter.

36 years as a claims professional working all across the country has put me in touch with Lawyers of the highest quality on both the Plaintiff and Defense sides. John Hall clearly stands out in my opinion as one of the best of the best. His reputation alone helps us resolve cases with catastrophic exposures. This reputation stems from his superlative ability in the court room. He comes to trial well prepared and has a remarkable ability to think on his feet when the inevetible unexpected adversity occurs. He can speak to jurors across the spectrum and is always well received. The judges respect him and even the most Plaintff oriented judge will give John a fair deal. John is experienced in catastrophic birth injury cases and is frequently hired by our cleints to assist local counsel in venues across the country. John is truly in the Elite of his Class and I recommned him with no reservations!

In 2008 and 2009, Hill, Kertscher & Wharton, LLP represented my firm in a several different litigation matters. Throughout the duration of these cases, the lawyers at HKW kept me well-advised so that I could participate effectively in important decisions relating to the tactical and substantive matters at issue. Steve Hill and his team handled each of these cases in such a way that we obtained positive results for the company across the board. In one case involving claims of defamation, Mr. Hill’s team was able to convince the plaintiff to dismiss the lawsuit. In a multi-party case involving antitrust and RICO claims, Mr. Hill devised a creative settlement strategy resulting in the early dismissal of the case against our firm with only one dollar changing hands. In the one case which proceeded to an arbitration hearing and a final judgment on the merits, Mr. Hill’s team was outstanding at trial, especially considering the technical subject matter at issue. With their capable assistance, we prevailed in the hearing despite being considerably outspent by our adversaries, resulting in an enormous savings to the company. I have worked with numerous law firms and I would enthusiastically recommend Hill, Kertscher & Wharton to my colleagues.

While our company has used other types of lawyers, in other business ventures, this time we found our self needing a franchisee attorney for an urgent business matter. After speaking to a member of the AAHOA, I was directed to call Mr. Chavda. I made contact in the evening hours and to my complete surprise he responded immediately. I knew he was a perfect fit and wanted to hire him. From the way he and his assistant handled our first conversation of "information gathering," to the way that Mr. Chavda spoke with me, making me extremely comfortable and resolving our issues in under 10 hours. When we got into the specifics, he seemed very knowledgeable on the finer points of the agreement and explained clearly how they could affect our company. His experiences as a business lawyer definitely comes into play here. Ultimately, the issue was resolved professionally between the franchiser and our self. Simply put, you can trust him and his staff. As a bonus they seem very nice and genuine people. I would highly recommend Mr. Chavda to anyone seeking counsel for Franchise/Business/employment Law.

Mr. Donsbach is the ultimate listener, discerner, and expert at planning and implementing a proper approach to a challenging legal matter. I wish we had sought his distinguished counsel earlier as the two prior attorneys were basically a waste of time and dollars. We could not be more pleased with Mr. Donsbach and his services. He is always available and responds timely to questions. I have been known to be extremely particular, yet Mr. Donsbach met, no he exceeded my expectations. We are thankful for him and that he is in our community. If you need expert legal counsel, you should contact him!

I was truly blessed to have Attorney Reneau represent me and my daughter in our personal injury case due to a car accident. From the first time I called him, he has been nothing but professional, making me feel more like a family member than a client. He even took time to come to my home and visit with me because I could not drive due to my injury. He was so helpful in every instance, always being there for me and helping me to understand each and every step along the way. When things didn’t go as they were planned or I didn’t understand things he was there and helped and to walk me through each and every process. He was always available or got back to me as soon as time allowed. I was truly blessed that God placed him in our lives. He made one of the most difficult times in my life a lot easier, sometimes even being a counselor. I have and will continue to recommend him to people seeking representation. I am truly grateful and thankful for him.

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.
