We were referred to Mr. Dean by our accountant for a personal bankruptcy. After meeting with him to discuss the bankruptcy and sharing some difficulties with paying a high tax rate, it was obvious that he had the solution to ALL of our financial problems. We hired Mr. Dean. He was available any time we had a question, stood beside us throughout the entire process, and everything went very smoothly. He is a wealth of knowledge and up-to-date on ever changing laws. He not only handled the bankruptcy expertly and efficiently, Mr. Dean worked with our accountant and helped us set up our business and personal taxes and bookkeeping. His advice is invaluable and we are VERY appreciative.

We met with Mr. Dean concerning contractual issues for services not rendered to our business. Mr. Dean reviewed our documents. He discovered several areas that were in favor to us. As a business owner, having this type of service is invaluable. Mr. Dean was spot-on on his analysis. Thanks Richard! Appreciate your professionalism and timely responses.

Dorsey took on a very complex and demanding case against several very well funded defendants. His skills both inside and outside the courtroom led us to a victory in the Mississippi Supreme Court that changed the landscape of construction and insurance law in the state. The case took over ten years to reach a conclusion and Dorsey was right by my side, confident, capable and supportive the entire time. He is a credit to his profession and I offer my highest recommendation without question.

Angela is Awesome. She not only has the knowledge but is also hardworking and putting all efforts to satisfy her client and tries her best to do the work as quickly and precisely as possible. I not only recommend attorney Angela Trehan, but I guarantee once you have used her services you too will look no further. Immigration team responds in an extreme timely matter, Attorney Angela is very knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy. Her humble nature is what makes her different from other attorneys. I strongly recommend her.

★★★★★ Attorney LaToya Jeter provided outstanding representation in my civil matter. Her deep knowledge of the law and fierce advocacy were evident at every step. She was thorough, responsive, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. But also, she was kind; caring, and compassionate as this endeavor took a substantial emotional, mental, and financial toll on me and my family. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a superbly experienced, competent, and dedicated attorney. And this review is coming from a fellow attorney, so know and trust that we always choose the VERY BEST to advocate for us! I am immensely THANKFUL to Attorney Jeter and her amazing team!

He made sure I knew my rights. Pointed me in the right direction for the statutes in my case. He wasn't able to make it to Starkville for court, but he followed up with me the next day. I have never had a lawyer help me even knowing I wasn't truly his client. I will always remember this man. If i ever need legal help in the future! I KNOW WHO I WILL BE CONTACTING!

We are forever grateful for this firm!!! Steven Funderburg WILL always be a part of our family. When our days were the darkest with my husband becoming paralyzed, being told "no, that's not covered" from every turn from the workers comp insurance company, we were finally referred by a dear attorney to Funderburg, Sessums and Peterson and WOW, what a blessing. Steve Funderburg, took on this challenge and we started receiving the care and equipment required to take care of my husband immediately. He took care of everything, as if we were the first priority of his day. I will always be grateful for this firm, especially for Steven Funderburg. Please do not sit back and hope for the best situations from a Workers Comp Insurance, we learned the hard way for so long. Thank You Steven Funderburg for EVERYTHING!!! God blessed the broken road, that led us straight to you.

This has been a long three years for me. I did not always feel that I was receiving timely legal advice. Over the years, I had several different lawyers that I really never developed a personal relationship until the end just before the 3 year timeframe for the case was ending. I was encouraged to stay on my job and not retire even when I was enduring a lot of discrimination where we could have possibly settled earlier and prevented some hardship. Despite the end results, I close this chapter with mixed emotions, scars, physical pain for life and move forward praying that others may have better outcomes. I truly understand why we must put our faith and trust in God and not look to man for what he cannot or will not give us. As a well educated person and one who dedicated his career to educating others, people only get out of you what they desired to move ahead to make themselves better.

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.

    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.
