I was involved in a rear end collision. As I sat a a red light, a vehicle struck me from behind, injuring my neck and back.I contacted Joe Naz Accident Lawyers and they took control of all of the medical needs that I required. The team at at Joe Naz Accident Lawyers was very professional and caring to make sure I received the medical care needed.The team kept me up to date with the progress of the case, and also checked up on me to make sure everything was going smooth, as far as medical treatment. I am very happy with the service that I received, and would recommend Joe Naz Accident Lawyers to anyone that has been involved in any type of auto accident.

I am so grateful to Joe Naz and his firm of knowlegable attorneys, they were all so unwavering in their support throughout my case. They all showed exceptional commitment, dedication and empathy during a very difficult time both emotionally and physically. Siri, Spencer and Ruby were my rocks! these women Made me feel so comfortable and they were so approachable no question was dismissed but answered. Antonio (the closer) demonstrated great creativity in his approach to my case and had very innovative solutions that benefited me greatly. Joe I can't thank you enough for your unwavering support, I always say it takes a village! I am just grateful I can call yours part of mine. Ruby

I got a call from Sheldon today and although he knew it was not worth taking to court or hiring a lawyer. He was touched by my email and wanted to call and give advice to call the FTC about a Chinese company selling deceptive practices and products. Very personable lawyer who cares about those he works with or comes into contact with. Thank you again Sheldon for your call today! Enjoy your time with your kids coming in to visit.

I'm an attorney myself, but I don't practice family law or draft postnuptial agreements, so I hired Maxwell Hills to prepare a postnup for me. The experience was pleasant and relatively easy, despite having a somewhat complex asset situation on my end and needing some customized terms regarding a new business that my husband and I were in the process of buying. Max was kind, efficient, and reasonably priced, and I'm very happy with the work he did. I definitely recommend him.

I had a tricky issue I was dealing with involving a business partnership. I had reached out to several attorneys to see how even to approach the problem and was led to believe the solution was far more complicated than it actually was. However, Farid was able to help us navigate the issue with ease, helping us make progress in a case that we were at an impasse with for over a year. He was incredibly helpful from the start, walking us through the process we needed to follow and providing the perfect advice throughout. If you have any employment, personal injury or immigration law needs, I'd highly recommend checking out Culver Law Firm. I personally felt like I had a genuine partner who cared about my case instead of an attorney trying to knock off a case. Thank you!!

I was referred to Shin Law Group and Jonathan through a family member that was actually sued by his group due to a car accident (they got 25k for a SCRATCH against my family member) and boy am I happy to say, that things were as smooth as they come using their firm. From personal experience handling a car accident ESPECIALLY against a driver who has no insurance or minimum insurance, I can't recommend getting a lawyer enough. And what a team Shin Law Group has. From quick referrals to chiropractors and other forms of pain management, quick responses by phone and a clear explanation of how things go down after an accident with insurance, look no further than Shin Law Group. I will be definitely coming back in the future if I am in need of a lawyer in a field that they specialize in.

Jonathan and Kim have been handling my case since my initial injury, and their expertise and dedication were key to securing a higher than expected final payout. Their strategy throughout the process was excellent, and they stand out as some of the best in the industry, not just for their results but also for their professionalism and integrity. The best thing you can do to help your case is to follow their instructions exactly and give them as much time as they need.

I was rear ended back in October 23 and immediately searched for an attorney from a car enthusiast group and was recommended Jonathan from several people. This is the first time I had been in an accident but I already knew I didn't want to deal with insurance or the other party. Jonathan gave me a call the next day and explained the complete process. He was able to secure a great settlement but the best part was his office was always available for questions when I had them. I highly recommend Jonathan and his team whenever you get into an auto accident!

I highly recommend Laura Hassan and the entire team at Madison Law. Laura represented me in my Divorce and oI was absolutely pleased with the outcome of my settlement. The entire team worked so hard for me, we were running against the clock at times and they burned the midnight oil to ensure my documents and statements represented my best interests. Throughout the process, I felt safe, comfortable and most importantly respected. My divorce was complex and involved forensic accountants. The team took my case head on after I parted ways with an attorney who had been negligent. My case was settled within six months of my retaining Madison Law. I would use this Law firm again without hesitation.

Laura Hassan Navigating a challenging custody, property, and support dispute, I had the privilege of being represented by Laura, an exceptional family law attorney. From our initial consultation, she demonstrated a profound understanding of the legal landscape, and a genuine commitment to my case. Her strategic expertise and unwavering support were instrumental in securing a favorable outcome, particularly in the custody matters that held paramount importance to me. Laura’s professionalism is matched by her compassionate approach. She took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and tailor her representation to my unique needs. Her guidance provided clarity during a tumultuous time, and her dedication ensured that my family’s best interests were always at the forefront. Although I had to discontinue her services due to financial constraints, I remain deeply grateful for her contributions. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, empathetic, and tenacious advocate in family law.

They are a great law firm. Make you feel as family from the moment you contact them. I hired them because they have empathy for the community at large suffering from Covid-19. At the same time they understand that a lawyers time has value. As Abraham Lincoln said. "The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for tomorrow. which can be done today. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. Besides empathy and resolve. They are diligent! They know they are heavyweights looking out for the interest of people like you and me and offer their services at an affordable rate. A rate that is just so that common people as us can be represented by experts in litigation as Gregory Brown and his team.

We just finished the Jury Trial yesterday 02/08/2024. We won a $20.71M judgement. The jury found in favor of us the plaintiffs in EVERY count of allegations plus we got 100% of what we ask for in punitive damages. It was a fraud case our company got defrauded. Mr. Brown took over the case on fifth month after the first complaint was filed. The first thing he did was write up an new complaint which made everything SUPER CLEAR. This is the MOST important thing you want to keep up in a lawsuit - KEEP EVERYTHING CLEAR & COMPREHENSIVE or NEVER CAUSE ANY CONFUSIONS for the Judge or the Jurors. Mr. Brown was crushing the defendant’s attorneys. He kept our allegations/story CLEAR & SIMPLE. Why this happened, how did it happened, who was involved and ALL evidence to support your claims. That’s really all you need to win a trial. You will never understand how important it is to keep things CLEAR before you actually attend a jury trial. Because at the trial, the defendant will do everything they could to cause confusions to the jurors, these “confusions” could potentially turn into your disadvantages which also could create challenges to the authenticity of your story factual background. Mr. Brown has done an incredible and amazing job keeping our lawsuit CLEAR. I want to say even a young kid could understand what happen listening to his opening statement and closing arguments. And the truth is the jurors didn’t even bother spending the time going back and forth, because everything is so clear they understand what happened, they have all the evidence they want to see lined up clear and logical to support the facts. If it wasn’t Mr. Brown, we would have a lot more challenges in our case. The other side is a fraudster, and fraudster often “lie” try to cause confusions to the jurors. Mr. Brown proved CLEARLY that the other side is a liar and 100% NOT credible. He proved it by pinning the defendant to his lie and use evidence to prove he lied. If any of you are victims of fraud, in harm of any breach of contract, or suffered damages from any business or personal wrongful conduct. You want to consult and hire Mr. Brown as your attorney. It was a large case for our company and we browsed at minimum 30+ firms before hiring Mr. Brown. The result of this trial proved we made the right choice. He’s so logical and he doesn’t waste a second on “arguing”. He knows the game he knows what is the RIGHT approach to win. Because every lawsuit is different. You need Mr. Brown who is able to identify the merit of the case, and understand the insights. Again, the worst thing you want to do or the stupidest thing you could do is to cause confusions at the court. The other side will always want to bring up nonsense arguments. You don’t need to jump into their “trap” arguing back and forth. Because the more you argue about nonsense, the weaker you are at trial even you have a strong case. All you need to do is have Mr. Brown prove to the jury this is nonsense and everyone inside the court room will understand what kind of game the other side is trying to play.

As a budding entrepreneur I've had the fortunate problem that young growing companies face where there are too many responsibilities for a small staff to do leading to not having all the necessary policies in place to safely protect our company against unethical players. An action taken towards our company forced me to quickly need a lawyer to help represent us in a legal matter. Josh was recommended to me by my best friend who has worked with him before and was very satisfied. I had reached out to Josh a year ago regarding a review of a 1099 contract (which in the end fell through and so I did not contract him then). I got a very good feeling then as his responses were clear, quick, informative, personable and very helpful. When I reached out to him this second time there was a lot I needed to learn and decide in a very short time-frame. Due to our goodwill approach to doing business we had a lot more legal exposure in this matter than I ever would have considered possible for a small company wishing to do well by others. On the first call Josh was helpful in putting all the facts forward and explaining the various scenarios that could possibly play out and recommended a plan to follow to help resolve this as quickly and cost effectively as possible. Throughout 3 weeks of calls, emails, fact searching and finally a negotiation he was able to guide us through a very complex landscape of tricky regulatory legislature to reach a resolution that was much less expensive emotionally, time-wise and financially than anticipated (by a significant amount). This situation could have ended up costing our company a sum that could easily put a small team like ours out of business. As I expressed to Josh, I can now look back and feel gratitude that this unpleasant situation happened as it has allowed us to learn and put in place the necessary policies to make our company compliant with local and federal law to ensure similar problems don't occur to us in the future. Consulting a good lawyer ahead of time is like investing in a good insurance policy. Once problems arise having an excellent lawyer at hand to help and guide you is worth its weight in gold. I am thankful to Josh not only for the legal support he gave, but his humanity and the emotional support extended in dealing with this delicate and potentially harmful situation. I found the transparency and professionalism he practices not only in his work but in his billing a refreshing and unexpected surprise to the anticipated notions about lawyer fees. Though it is best not to need them, it is important to have a lawyer of trust and excellence as part of your team for if/when it is needed. I am happy to now have a working relationship with Josh for all future needs our company might have as we continue to thrive. I recommend Joshua Waldman warmly. But don't just believe me or all the consistently outstanding reviews he has, reach out to him and let his excellence convince you first hand.

Christian is the BEST attorney! He provided me a clear explanation of my case which made it less stressful in the beginning. He is understanding and supportive. There was no problem reaching him at any time of the day. He was transparent since the day I met him and that’s an important factor when choosing the right attorney. He will make sure you have everything you need even before the judge will ask for it. He made me feel ready at every hearing. He has plenty of experience at what he does. He will fight for you every step of the way. I definitely recommend him! You will not regret it one bit. He deserves more than a 5 stars with the effort he has put into my case. Thank you for your time and service, Christian. It was a pleasure working with you.

Christian is the best fit for you if you are looking for a criminal defense attorney. The prosecutor bullied me 12!!! courts simply because I had a public defender. I was facing a lot of trouble, but an acquaintance recommended him. Christian's strategic recommendation turned the tide in my case. He studied the case and said that my case was 100% winnable. I trusted him, and this is the result. Today, I was cleared of all charges. Thank you so much, Christian. I will recommend you to anyone who is in trouble.

I have used Mr Tomassian for Real Estate, Business Contract and Personal Injury matters in both Orange County and the Inland Empire. I have been very happy with the results that he was able to get and how fair the firm's fees were for their services compared to other firms that I had previously used. Additionally, I have referred Mr Tomassian to some friends and business associates and they were also very happy with their results. I am glad that I don't have to go to Los Angeles to hire a top attorney for my needs since we have Serge right here in the Irvine/Newport Beach area.

I highly recommend Laura Hassan and the entire team at Madison Law. Laura represented me in my Divorce and oI was absolutely pleased with the outcome of my settlement. The entire team worked so hard for me, we were running against the clock at times and they burned the midnight oil to ensure my documents and statements represented my best interests. Throughout the process, I felt safe, comfortable and most importantly respected. My divorce was complex and involved forensic accountants. The team took my case head on after I parted ways with an attorney who had been negligent. My case was settled within six months of my retaining Madison Law. I would use this Law firm again without hesitation.

Laura Hassan Navigating a challenging custody, property, and support dispute, I had the privilege of being represented by Laura, an exceptional family law attorney. From our initial consultation, she demonstrated a profound understanding of the legal landscape, and a genuine commitment to my case. Her strategic expertise and unwavering support were instrumental in securing a favorable outcome, particularly in the custody matters that held paramount importance to me. Laura’s professionalism is matched by her compassionate approach. She took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and tailor her representation to my unique needs. Her guidance provided clarity during a tumultuous time, and her dedication ensured that my family’s best interests were always at the forefront. Although I had to discontinue her services due to financial constraints, I remain deeply grateful for her contributions. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, empathetic, and tenacious advocate in family law.

If I could give Adam 10 stars, I absolutely would! From the start, he made what is often a daunting process feel approachable and manageable. Adam not only explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, but he also went above and beyond by meeting with me personally several times to review documents and provide updates. His professionalism is unmatched, but what truly sets him apart is how personable and down-to-earth he is. You never feel like just another client—he genuinely cares. My case began in 2019, and thanks to Adam’s dedication and expertise, I finally received my expungement in 2024. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate by my side! Best Attorney in OC! 💼🍊

I was referred to Shannon Lamb from a trustworthy friend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer! Aside from Shannon being the most kind, patient and understanding person, I also had an incredibly pressing timeline to meet a legal deadline. (LESS THAN 24 HOURS!) Shannon was extremely knowledgeable and I felt very confident that she had my best interest in mind. She was fair, firm, and answered every question I had with great detail. Ms. Lamb was very communicative, and because of the nature of the document, there was quite a bit of back and forth with lots of revisions. Every single request was met with “my pleasure” in response. Usually any time a lawyer is needed, it’s probably a stressful situation, and Shannon Lamb made every single minute of the process so easy and comfortable. Very thankful I found her! Such a pleasure to interact and do business with! Highly recommend!

I was hit with a nuisance lawsuit by a serial litigant. I consulted with several attorneys who suggested that I should settle to make the litigant go away. When I consulted with Shannon, she asked many more questions than others did and used the specifics of my case to create a strong defense. She was able to get my case dismissed with no payment to the litigant. Her attention to detail and strong legal action led to the best possible outcome. All throughout the process, Shannon provided constant communication whenever there was new information about my case. I highly recommend Shannon if you have need for an attorney.

Rude and unprofessional — the other reviews also look fake/paid for, be wary. I wanted to do a consult but they insisted that with what I need it requires a 1 hour consult which would be $500 instead of $350 for 30 minutes lol. I only needed 30 minutes. Then Mr Gerber proceeded to tell me that “yeah, you can’t afford my services”. I actually can, just not looking to throw my money away to a lawyer who will do minimal work and charge up a storm. For what? So I feel taken advantage of by a lawyer? A tale as old as time. I’ve heard these stories plenty to know what to look out for. Already found better consult elsewhere who won’t waste my time and money. Thanks! ☺️

Adam Miller is UNMATCHED!!! Stop your search and look no further! Adam came highly recommended through a friend of a friend and oh my lord thank god he did. Long story short- I got conned by the highest level con artist who has been doing everything under the sun to seize control of my company from filing fraudulent documents, removing me as owner, causing a freeze on my bank account, contacting my associates and spreading lies, and more! To better convey here how I feel about Adam, I thought it best to just copy and paste the email I just took the time to send him. Copied: “Hey Adam, I had to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for all that you have done for me during this grueling time. You, Adam, are an absolute godsend! Words cannot adequately convey the level of gratitude I have for you. With limited time to familiarize yourself with the minutiae of my case, you dove right in to the chaos with an unmatched fervor and grace (hey that rhymed!) I can say without a doubt that I have never encountered an attorney who embodies such genuine and pure intentions as you do and your unwavering commitment to my case, even amidst my temporary financial constraints, speaks volumes about your character and professionalism. I just want you to know that I recognize and appreciate the extraordinary lengths you’ve gone to ensure mine and my companies well-being. Having you in my corner during what has undoubtedly been an incredibly stressful ordeal, has given me more comfort than you can imagine! Brad’s endorsement of you as a “badass attorney” could not have been more accurate. You are TRULY one of a kind, and have delivered exceptional value and exceeded my expectations at every turn! I will take any opportunity I get to recommend your services to others with the same conviction and excitement that Brad had when he referred me to you. Thank you, Adam, for everything you do. There is no one else I would rather have in my corner batting for me and my company. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (FIVE stars!) With sincere appreciation, Abilene Eplin Merchant Consultancy LLC”

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.
