I was seeking a skilled attorney in the Atlanta area to handle a sensitive family matter. Jennifer was referred to me by a friend that worked in local government and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Jennifer is professional, highly skilled and very well networked within the community. If you are seeking effective, results oriented council, she should be your first choice!

I don't know where to start, I found out about Mr. Lee immigration services via internet. At first I was hesitant to sign up because it was to good to be true. I decided to give him a call. Mr. Lee is very pleasant and honest person. He is very knowledge and is an expert when it comes to immigration services. Moreover, his easily reachable via text, phone or email. I never had any problems getting hold of him. I highly recommend Mr. Lee, I trust him and defiantly will be using his services in near future. Also don't waste thousands of dollar on other attorney, his fee is VERY affordable, I do not know if you can find anything lower than that. Thank you again Mr. Lee for your diligent work. It was great doing business with you.

An incredible attorney! Mr. Hoopes is absolutely the best; someone who is aggressive, efficient, knowledgeable and truly knows the law and the steps to get the best outcome. He impressed everyone who witnessed my case deposing me and the other witnesses. I recommend him to everyone who simply needs the best. I had a previous attorney and in no way or form do they compare in knowledge, not services they provide! He worked hard for what I felt was the best interest for my child and myself. Scott was such a great help with my divorce and my child custody that I used him again as my attorney for my contempt action. He guided me through the steps I had to take and was helpful when we had to go to court. I would recommend attorney hoopes to anyone! Simply an “Outstanding Attorney” with much experience. His poise in the courtroom is wonderful. The respect that he commands from opposing counsel and the judges is fantastic. I would hire him again and again if I ever must go back

Mr Ryan Bramblett, Was the lawyer I had. When I meet the man for the first time I was sitting in jail with no bond. As of today my case is dropped. All because of the lawyer named above. As a added note when we where talking As he was telling me the good news. I had something that happened 2 me a few years back and, His mannerism of how he handled the case from start to finish and everything he did in between it's the reason why I'm coming to the guy with more business. The man is worth the price he ask in my opinion. Thank you sir for what you did. Sincerely, John Thomas

I hired attorney Candice Davis and it was the best thing I could have done . She actually listens when I speak about any concern or question I have . I always get a response when I reach out . She has made this difficult time so much smoother for me . Stephanie who is at the counter is also very amazing ! Always so nice when I come in , offers a beverage while I wait and she always relays any message I leave for my attorney!

Just had a successful mediation with David, and will gladly recommend him to other family attorneys looking for someone with the right blend of approachability and guidance for their clients. David was able to help us mediate several issues involving custody and child support in a single session, and my client told me several times, "I really like the mediator, I feel like he gets it." Of course, we all know how important it is that the clients on both sides feel that way, and I'm sure they did. Excellent job, David!

Ms. Miller affords you her expertise as a Judge, State Legislator, Educator, Attorney, and Parent for your court matters. Her understanding of family law provided me an attorney who listened, and explained all matters that would be forthcoming in my divorce case based on the outcome I had desired when we first met. Ms. Miller is well versed in the courtroom and continually reads cases and situations, keeping them at the ready when needed for your case. Ms. Miller successfully defended me in a very complex family law case that had all elements of a bad and difficult divorce with many accusations being presented to the court. Each accusation was dissected, questioned openly in the courts, and dismissed by the courts. Her successful representation gave me immediate access to my child, and a voice in the legal system that made opposing attorneys and Judges pay attention to. While waiting on my case to be heard, I have witnessed Ms. Miller assist younger attorneys in the courtroom on proper protocol, and coach them on procedure and direction. She is not only passionate about her clients but also passionate about the law. You cannot receive any better legal representation in family law than Phyllis Miller.

This Itailian gal has spunk and passion. If you'd like to hire one of the best, I highly recommend this lawyer. She helped me get my kids and my house in my divorce proceedings. After watching her in the court room I gave her the nickname Barracuda. You would have to see it to understand it. I am lucky enough to be one of the 2% of men....thanks to Phyllis Miller...hire her, you'll see...she is worth every penny. :-)

It was over 10 years ago, he kept me from taking a bad deal that would still effect me today when I was innocent. I found him by searching cases for hours with positive outcomes on the Court website. Was real about the overpriced lawyer I had already retained and the situation I was in. Spent several hours talking about my case with me. I had the highest rated lawyer in Gwinnett at the time and he seemed to know way more than she did. I pushed my lawyer for a continuance that I wouldn’t have done otherwise when she was saying I had to eat the charges. He’s who to go to when you really need help.

I made corrections will like to use this review please . . You should feel like your attorney is on your side and fighting to make sure your rights are protected. When you need an attorney, the chances are good that it is a difficult time in your life, and the last thing you need is to feel like you have to fight with your legal counsel to get the representation you deserve. I end up hiring another attorney with very successful outcome with all charges dismissed.

Please take a moment to review other complaints about him online. We engaged Mr. Ney to handle a conflict of interest case. Through email, phone calls, and face-to-face meetings, he assured us that our former attorney was not entitled to any money. After providing him with $1000.00 for a case study, he returned confirming his acceptance of our case and reiterated that our ex-attorney had no claim to funds. Consequently, we ceased negotiations on a $25000 settlement with the ex-attorney. Upon receiving the remaining flat fee of $7000.00, he stopped communication. we went to his office he did not show uo. Despite assurances of a jury trial and the use of expert witnesses, none materialized – these promises proved false. Furthermore, he neglected to inform us of the hearing date, attending alone, resulting in the case being lost. As a consequence, we now find ourselves obligated to pay the ex-attorney $57000.00. Once he gets the money he is gone. I filed a complaint with Bar hoping they discipline him, then I will sue 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:

  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.
