I engaged the legal services of Mary McKee based on her proposed statement of services, and the expertise she exhibited. Since signing an engagement letter and paying a $1500 retainer, I received 0 communications and 0 answers to my multiple emails with legal questions over the course of nearly 7 weeks. I called multiple times every week, and the 2 times I was able to speak with her (weeks apart), she promised an email within 2 business days. I received 0 emails weeks later, not even a response to an email requesting an update, at any point. She repeatedly promised legal help and gave timelines that were set and created by Ms. McKee herself at her discretion, which she repeatedly did not meet, nor did she respond to communications.
She provided a "timely” plan during consultation that she never even started. Even though she sounded caring, she wasted MONTHS of my time with absolutely no consideration for me. She had no consideration for my daily living conditions (the reason I needed legal help), and no consideration for my time, given that I called or emailed almost every day to check on the status, which despite her promises, never changed over the course of 6 weeks. She literally sounded annoyed every time I contacted her for any information, and absolutely nothing was done in over 6 weeks (outside of an engagement letter and collecting $1500 from me).
The only reason for 2 stars is because I was acknowledged that I would be refunded without issue (though the $1500 refund is still pending).

She literally sounded annoyed every time I contacted her for any information, and absolutely nothing was done in over 6 weeks (outside of an engagement letter and collecting $1500 from me).
The only reason for 2 stars is because I was acknowledged that I would be refunded without issue (though the $1500 refund is still pending).

I engaged the legal services of Mary McKee based on her proposed statement of services, and the expertise she exhibited. Since signing an engagement letter and paying a $1500 retainer, I received 0 communications and 0 answers to my multiple emails with legal questions over the course of nearly 7 weeks. I called multiple times every week, and the 2 times I was able to speak with her (weeks apart), she promised an email within 2 business days. I received 0 emails weeks later, not even a response to an email requesting an update, at any point. She repeatedly promised legal help and gave timelines that were set and created by Ms. McKee herself at her discretion, which she repeatedly did not meet, nor did she respond to communications.

When are they actually open? I’ve called every hour of the day and they’re always “currently busy and on another line.” So what is a real number to call or when are they actually open?

I did not recieve legal services from Ms. chestnut as I was not able to get that far. I got her number off of google as I'm a COO of a cryptocurrency management platform company and we are seeking a business lawyer to retain to handle our needs. I called Ms. chestnut expecting a law office greeting and was met with "hello", i asked if this was indeed Ms. Chestnut and if she was still practicing law as I was looking to retain a business lawyer. She was very rude, acted as if she didn't know why I would be calling and because I have an out of the state area code asked me where I was located, I informed her I live in lexington kentucky, she then stated " because of lack of information im hanging up on you". Answered the phone very unprofessionally, was rude the entire short conversation and acted as if there was no reason I should be calling her and acted like I should not have had her number although it is listed on many different platforms on google as a means to contact. I have since made a call and set up consultation with a very nice lawyer. Steer clear of Ms. Chestnut, she was unprofessional in my opinion and made me feel as if I had no business reaching out to her.

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.
