I worked closely with Sheryl over a period of about five years from lawsuit filing through the trial and the appeal. We were plaintiffs on a breach of contract lawsuit for multi millions involving a major international corporation represented by a major firm that defended its client vigorously and aggressively. The case was lengthy and complex and turned on key documents, depositions and trial testimony for all of which Sheryl was the key player. The jury awarded significant damages that were upheld. I found Sheryl to be tireless, hard working, thorough and a quick study. I recommend Ms. Falk very highly

Gregg represented me in a professional liability lawsuit. He was extremely responsive to my requests for information. I found him to be very thoughtful, insightful, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Many lawyers will tell you what they want you to hear in order to maximize THEIR result in the representation. Gregg tells a client what THE CLIENT needs to hear and acts entirely in THE CLIENT'S best interest. I have never been happier with a legal representation than I have been in being represented by Gregg Weinberg.

Gregg defended me in a professional liability case. He was extremely competent with regard to his knowledge of the law and in setting strategy for keeping plaintiffs off balance. He gave great attention to details, kept me very well informed, never missed a deadline, and provided an energetic defense. We were extremely successful and I will never forget what he did. (the category described in this website is "medical malpractice" because there was no selection for "other professional malpractice.)

Brian has represented us. He is without question superb. We have referred a number of people to him over the years and get nothing but thanks from them. He doesn't have the p.r. machine a lot of other personal injury lawyers hire...but he doesn't need them either as far as I know.

We lost our Dad last December and we had never been through the probate process before. That's why we're incredibly grateful for Larry Chamberlin of Chamberlin Law and Mediation. From our first meeting, Larry put us at ease. He walked us through the probate process for our dad's estate, explaining everything in terms we could understand. His expertise was evident: - Thorough preparation for every step - Impressive performance at the Harris County probate hearing - Skilled negotiations that protected our interests - Efficient management of all legal procedures What struck us most was Larry's commitment to our case. He wasn't just going through the motions – he genuinely cared about helping our family during this difficult time. If you're facing probate in Harris County, we can't recommend Larry Chamberlin highly enough. His knowledge, professionalism, and compassion made all the difference for us.

My name is Mike. I had one of the toughest situations regarding my son, and had at least fifteen other attorneys turn my case down. Without skipping a beat, Larry took the case and has worked more miracles than I can tell. When I say this is the best lawyer in Texas, I mean it. He cares about his clients, and fights tooth and nail for what they deserve.

Mr. Daniels did an excellent job in handling my case, by presenting me with clear and understandable information and facts. He offered me alternatives to consider if they became necessary to pursue, and acted in a very accountable and responsible manner. His Fee structure was also very reasonable. After having had multiple problems with prior Attorney's, who did not return calls in a timely manner, or who generally treated me as a second class Citizen, I found Mr. Daniels to be a breath of fresh air.

Ken Scott represented my family business in a lawsuit that I considered to be frivolous by a person that had way too much money to burn. His approach was well crafted, his stance was unwavering, and his style was hard yet professional. Ken has a strong presence and a witty personality. He has a solid integrity, is a truly honest person, and is a talented litigator who kept my family pushing toward a common goal cutting through the emotion. He's well prepared and a bulldog in court, understanding how to read a room and the politics at play in the courthouse; he knows when to push and when to pass. Ken supported us for almost an entire year; he saved our family business and my sanity; and I owe him double what I paid. Thanks to Ken's legal actions and the path he took, he is now only just a great friend of mine!

The father of my child decided to file a paternity case in Texas (me and my daughter have always lived in California) and after talking to Matt on the phone - I knew he was the one to hire. We were both pretty much on the same page. Matt filed a Special Appearance on my behalf, wrote an amazing argument and I provided some exhibits. I was CONFIDENT that he would get it dismissed, however, we were really wanting to get the attorney's fees because of the dbag's wreckless behavior by filing the frivolous lawsuit. Matt was able to get the attorney's fees as well! It was VICTORIOUS!!! I did not have to make a trip to Texas. If you have jurisdiction issues in re: child custody matters, I would not hesitate to contact Matt! Apparently, he's done a few cases in regards to UCCJEA or state jurisdiction in general.

Quick backstory, I was in an abusive relationship where my ex-husband essentially used all my personal information and buried me in debt that I had no idea about until I started receiving collection calls. He practically destroyed years of my life and after several law firms I was blessed to come across Weston Law, Nadeen Mahrous specifically. Without judgment and with tons of patience, she accomplished what others didn't. I cannot thank her enough for her efforts. Aside from this, it was absolutely my best choice economically as previously mentioned, I was in debt up to my neck. Monthly payment plans as they work on the case compared to other lawyers who wouldn't move a finger until they were paid in full and only to screw me over some more. Thank you a million Nadeen!

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.
