If any one is looking for an attorney, I highly recommend Frank Ciaramella. He expedited my trademark application and helped me with an office action response. He is very honest, professional and succeeded in getting the approval for my trademark in a very short time.
I would like to share this excellent experience, the fee he stated was as agreed and there were no hidden fees. I am honored to express my gratitude to Frank and recommend him 100%.

I've had a trademark for 20 years and easily renewed it myself a few times. Suddenly, this year, the USPTO examiner declared I was missing examples! For six months I worried about what to do but had to focus on my company.
Frank was one of many attorneys who sent me emails offering their services but was the only one who kept reminding me from time to time. As the deadline approached with just a week or two to go I emailed him back.
He knew exactly what the problem was, gave me a reasonable price, told me what he needed and as soon as I got the examples scanned and sent to him, he was able to file before the deadline. Within days, the USPTO accepted the examples and my trademark was renewed!

Hello Everyone,
I do not typically write reviews, however this one is deserving!
I needed help for a tradmark. I was responded to one USPTO Office Action after another. For the Final Office Action before
being rejected- denied. I placed everything to his firm, and today I have the USPTO Certificate for my trademark.
Again, I do not write reviews; moreover note, I write this after the award for my mark: "Simply The Best", was finaly granted.
Seeking the RIGHT an Itellectual Property Lawyer; or any is often time consuming, and many are WELL OVERPRICED.
Mr. Ciaramella is knowledgable, to the point and very reasonable.

I have retained Attorney Gene Lipscher on two different cases. He is a great business attorney. The first time I met Mr. Lipscher he drew up a noncompete contract for my business employees.

If he cannot get back to you immediately his assistant Kristi Hartman will be in touch with you with any information regarding your case. She is efficient and a pleasure to Converse with. 5 stars!

In meeting with Mr. Bradford, I discovered him to be very astute, professional, possesses great intellect, and takes a keen interest in his clients' matters. He is resourceful and exhibits a high degree of skill along with an amiable demeanor. Some attorneys have great skill but treat clients poorly, and other attorneys are considerate towards clients but lack legal skill. Mr. Bradford highly excels in both conduct and skill--RARE! I would feel very comfortable with his advocacy on my behalf, and in fact found myself asking him about several matters in hope that he would take on some or all of them. :) He is very quick and excellent at analyzing cases.

I was represented by Jennifer Carroll and her law firm, Law Offices of Jennifer S. Carroll, P.A., better than I could ever have imagined. I went through a very emotional and difficult time. Jennifer took away the worry on my case and handled every detail with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Jennifer’s actions were always in my best interest, and she made sure that I understood all the steps and conversations that were taking place to accomplish success in the case. Her expertise and transparency went above and beyond.
I could not have asked to work with a more compassionate and passionate attorney. Jennifer won my case.
If you want the best representation by an attorney who will go above and beyond, I highly recommend Jennifer Carroll to represent you!

Mr. Michael Steiner is always professional and courteous. Inquiries are responded to in a timely manner. I always find it a positive experience when dealing with Michael.
One area for increased improvement is follow-ups, in particular regarding expired notices, i.e. other attorney responses, court dates, etc. Back office support for payments to the association can also be improved.
Overall, I am pleased with Michael's performance and look forward to working with him.

Just when I thought the art of effective listening, empathy and legal acumen were a thing of the past. I researched and found what I've come to understand as a Godsend in the estate planning of my Late Mother. Whether it be the simple creation of a trust to negotiating your best interest in defense of contentious family members that threaten litigation, I would not make a move without the counsel of Meyer Law and I can assure anyone looking for sound representation would be wise in following suit!

Davina was helping me with my divorce and subsequent child support motions. She was very attentive throughout the entire process, giving clear guidance, setting the right expectations, and taking timely actions when needed. As a result of her guidance and strategy, we were able to settle both cases with a desired outcome. I would definitely reach out to her again if ever needed. I highly recommend her for anyone going through divorce or any other child support related legal matters.

I hired Davina because I was married in 2021 and learned that my previous divorce from 20 years prior had not been finalized.
I hadn't spoken to my ex in 20 years and had no idea where he was.
Davina is a top-notch professional and a really awesome human being. I found her to be warm, personable, and genuine. She kept in constant communication with me and I felt that her rates were very fair.
I would hire her again without hesitation.

Steve was referred by another attorney in Ft. Lauderdale. So very thankful I met Steve. He not only serves as my attorney but continues to be a great listener, counselor and problem solver of many issues. Prior to the sale of my home Steve actually helped willingly to perform handyman repairs following the inspection. As an 81 year old widow it is rare to meet such a caring and thoughtful attorney to assist with difficult matters we must daily face.

I hired David Fabrikant to be my legal adviser for my divorce. My decision to hire him was a total disaster. He failed to file the case on timely manner, allowing my ex to move out of state with my son and allowing her enough time to claim residency in New York which gave her from the the beginning the advantage on the time she would get with my son. When asked by the judge why he took that long ( about 3 months total) to file, his answer was that the court website did not let him upload the case. On the hearing where one of the points was to decide for a temporal time sharing, the judged asked him for a propose time sharing schedule. He did not prepared one!! which made the judge adopt my ex wife's proposal which gave her total advantage and gave me visitation every 2 weeks in New York ( I reside in Florida). To top it all , the day of the hearing he asked my ex to be on the stand and questioned her for close to 3 hours. Question that were going nowhere and allowed my ex wife to built a full testimony based on lies which he did not catch because he did not prepared the case. It was a total disaster. If you are considering to hire him for family law, you better find someone else. This guy will hurt you long term with his incompetence.

John R. Petrone II represented me in a slip and fall case for an injury I sustained in 1996 and that injury is permanent. Petrone was transferred to the case by Attorney John Rinaldi of Syracuse as John was nearing retirement after having done nothing on my case for four years or so. I was young at the time so I trusted them. Big mistake. Essentially what they did was wait me out to the point where they could settle it without doing any work. They spent seven years doing nothing then tried to collect their fee by attending an Examination Before Trial and settling. They sent underling lawyer Mark Halpin to handle it and the total preparation they gave me for the EBT was between the car and the conference room. I was given 5 minutes of preparation to face an Insurance company attorney who had 30 years of experience. So in essence my lawyer was not representing my best interest they were simply trying in my opinion to see how much money they could get while doing as little work as possible. Subsequently they lost my case file. I spent two years trying to get it knowing they didn't really lose it I speculate, but in fact there was no file because they didn't do any work. I pursued the matter with the US Postal Inspectors as I had evidence that they had altered postal documents. The Postal Inspectors concluded that the matter was of "Peripheral Nexus" to them and they refused to conclude whether they were or were not altered. They contend that the documents were public and basically it wasn't that it had not been done, they simply concluded that they didn't care. My interpretation is that they don't care if a lawyer uses the post office as an excuse in laundering a case file. This is all speculative of course. But the appearance of impropriety was there. Bottom line is no case file was ever generated. They were required to have a retainer agreement. They didn't even have that. Then they had the gall to try to charge me $700 or so for copies, etc. It wasn't until after the case was settled that I realized what had happened to me. The conflict of interest is mind boggling. They took advantage of superior knowledge when placed in a position of trust. I filed a grievance against them and the Attorney Grievance committee said that the lawyer code of conduct ethical cannons are "aspirational in nature only." I guess that means ethics are optional. I contest John Petrone's 1.0 rating. It should be lower. I could have gained better results myself and saved myself 7 years of aggravation. I do not have the words to describe the disdain I have for John Petrone. I'd have sued him for malpractice but after 7 years I'd had enough. When I saw he was disciplined it surely came as no surprise. Karma finally caught up with him. I can only imagine what happens to old people that use people like this and are incapable of defending themselves. If you use Petrone after reading this review then you get what you deserve.

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.
