Richard is an extremely smart and savvy lawyer. He knows the law and uses it in unique ways to win! He shows a personal interest in my case and he made me feel protected as soon as I hired him. He was a tireless advocate for my rights. If I could give Richard 10 Stars, I would do it without hesitation. Thank you!!

Richard is a great lawyer. He handles cases with the utmost care and concern. He also returns telephone calls and responds to his own emails.
He litigated my case against a large insurance company when they refused to pay me for my substantial loss. In the end, the insurance company lost all of its motions in court and the case was ultimately resolved in my favor.
I thank Richard Rosenstein for all his hard work on my case and I recommend him without hesitation.

Shab is the best lawyer. I am a business owner and few years back, I was sued by an employee who died when he was behind a truck and the loading area. I got a WC claim and also got sued for $500,000. I had an attorney first who basically told me that it was hopeless. I am glad I did not give up and kept looking for a new lawyer. A friend of mine referred me to Shab. He took the case and started asking questions and looked into the case. He did not give up and found enough evidence that made my case better. The details and legalese aside, Shab settled the case for a fraction. Shab saved my business. If I had not changed to him, I would have been bankrupt. I am not sure how I would have survived. Big thanks to Shab for great work. This is a great firm. They care.

This is a wonderful attorney. He was nice and explained the process to me, but professional and firm with the opposing side. One thing that I liked was that I could tell he cared about the case, and was on top of what needed to be done.

Tal is by far the most thorough attorney I have ever dealt with. I have started other small businesses in the past, so I expected the standard procedure when Tal and his experienced team filed, created and reviewed our documents. Nothing standard about it at all! Tal brings so much experience from vastly varying markets. When he reviewed our documents, he did so with every possible future scenario in mind, and re-created them to make sure we were covered 100%. When we did encounter a challenging client situation, Tal was available and took over communication with the grace and tact and "legalese" that my partner and I would not have been able to handle on our own.
I highly recommend Tal as an attorney- and overall human being. He is honest and detailed, and brings integrity back to the lawyer game.

We hired Lauren Noriega to fight my felony probation violation. I was denied bail in the beginning and served 2.5 months in jail at which point Lauren fought for me and got me released on bail. The judge and DA tried to sentence me to 3 years in prison. Lauren got the appellate court involved who issues a stay order the day before I was supposed to surrender myself. She did an amazing job, found a lot of legal presidents that worked in our favor. Dealing with the DA’s and courts took way longer than expected, but we did get the results that she told us we would get from the beginning. Which was a full dismissal of the probation violation.

I recently had an offer on a property accepted and the seller disclosed that she had recently been through a bankruptcy but that this "should not affect title." I was uneasy and asked Teresa for advice. Teresa was very knowledgeable and competent and gave excellent and practical advice reflecting her knowledge of and experience with real estate transactions. She also worked well with my realtor to assist with the communication.

Matthew Brinton and his team are excellent. He helped me with a tenant/landlord case. I don't know what I would have done without him. He was a genuine advocate during one of the toughest, most stressful chapters of my life. I feel like he listened to my case and my needs, and helped me reach a settlement that has helped me move on with my life. I'm so incredibly grateful. He is professional, intelligent, and incredibly well-informed about tenant law. He has a calm demeanor, intelligence, and integrity. A good guy with good judgment. I'm beyond grateful he took my case. I can't recommend him enough. Also, he has an excellent team. Yoselyn and Ashley were fantastic -- detail oriented, very calming, and kind.

I initially reached out to Matt for a landlord/tenant dispute via his website on a Sunday in 2016. Matt contacted me the same day and offered immediate assurance that I was protected under the law after being served an illegal eviction notice by my landlord. Never having been in this situation before, I was naturally frantic and Matt was there to help me keep my mind at ease every step of the way. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and while I continued to receive harrassing notices from my landlord, Matt continued to fight on my behalf and now the other other tenants in the building that were affected. After 10 months of exhausting work on all sides, Matt was able to deliver on the expected results and I was able to move out of my apartment with plenty of money to start over at a new place. I'd definitely reccommend Matt for any landlord/tenant issues.

My husband and I hired Matt to handle a landlord/tenant dispute. Matt was exactly the attorney we needed. He was appropriately aggressive, thoughtful, strategic, and added so much value to our case. Our case went to mediation where he delivered a result that was what we wanted. We appreciated his expertise in this field and in mediating cases. His writing is impeccable and persuasive. As a fellow attorney, I'd like to say I couldn't have done it better-but in truth, Matt handled our case far better than I. I wouldn't hesitate in hiring him.

I hired Alex Comely in 2013 to make an appearance at a hearing on a Demurrer. At the time, I was self represented, against CitiMortgage for damaging personal property. I had recently been released from the hospital, and was still relatively sick. I contacted Alex and he appeared on my behalf, and kept the case alive. He assisted me again in a mediation, and later responding to a MSJ and discovery. I am the analyst I am today because of Alex, I would have drowned in the paperwork, were it not for his providing assistance without taking my first born. I will never forget how disappointed I was when yelp hid my review of Alex, so I'm putting it here. In the end, it took three partners from two law firms and almost 75yrs of experience for the defendant to handle me.

It is my opinion, and experience that when I hired the banafshe lawfirm, I couldn't have hired a better lawyer or firm. They have been very personal, informative, patient with me, professional and thorough in dealing with my accident. Only my Heavenly Father has taken care of me better than Ryan and his hard working, competent staff has, in all that I have been through healing, physically, mentally, and spiritually, resulting from my vehicle accident.
Not only did I hire a great lawfirm, I've found a great friend in Ryan in every sense of the word friend. 10 stars, 3 snaps with a twist

He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. I will now only seek Ben and and Woolf & Nachimson's advise whenever a need arises for legal services and further counsel for any sort of business related issues. I would not hesitate to seek representation from Ben Nachimson again.

I had the pleasure of working with Christiane Kinney through one of the most challenging legal battles of my life. I was being sued by someone making a series of false claims, and after years of fighting, we finally went to trial. The trial itself lasted nearly a month, but Christiane handled it with absolute professionalism and skill. Her attention to detail, strategic planning, and dedication to my case were unmatched. She not only won the case for me but also managed to secure a reimbursement for my legal fees from the opposing party, which was a huge relief. On top of that, she negotiated an incredible payment plan, making sure the person who tried to sue me was held accountable. Throughout the process, she made me feel comfortable and confident, always keeping me informed and guiding me with her expertise. If you need a strong, compassionate, and incredibly skilled attorney by your side, I highly recommend Christiane. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome or a better advocate in my corner.

I was a musician living fist to mouth when I first spoke with Chris about a lawsuit that was brewing. She didn't know me at all, but took my call and advised me out of the goodness of her heart. Then, when I got dragged into this bogus lawsuit, she took me on pro bono and worked like it was the most important case of her life. Her communication, research, and knowledge of the law was THOROUGH, and I can confidently say that not only was she the smartest lawyer in the room, she was also the most respected. Chris is an excellent attorney and an even better human being. If you’re turned off by a lawyer who also happens to be a really good person, then pray to God you never have to battle her in court. She’ll CRUSH you.

We thought we could handle our own work-for-hire contracts, just simple stuff anyways… until we got successful and then things got ugly. Another attorney tried to fix it, but only dug a deeper, more ambiguous hole. Then the litigation threats started and we felt sunk. Christiane fixed it all, but not without extreme finesse and careful maneuvering that showed us just what a REAL Attorney looks like! Since those dark days, she has been such a great partner to listen, support, explain, and guide us thru to successful conclusions on many fronts! So happy to have her on our team!

Michael A. Long, Esq. has been my patent attorney for many years, and diligently stopped a large company that was infringing on my patented invention. He represented me and my business partner, a senior patent attorney, in that effort. Attorney Long was successful in stopping that infringer.

He is very well rounded as an IP lawyer and I highly recommend Attorney Michael A. Long.

There's no deal that she hasn't been able to close with speed, accuracy and aplomb, and it is a pleasure to deal with someone who can anticipate your thoughts and be pro-active on your behalf without strain or additional stress.
No matter what type of agreement or situation my or my team have thrown at her, she's been able to adapt and deliver quickly without missing a step. She's also adept at the people part of legal matters, being able to communicate with both my clients and VIP's with the same ease and ability to get things done.
We've hired her again and again, and we will continue to be repeat customers as her skills are unmatched and her patience is unending, as we work together to navigate the wild wild west that is the continuously morphing entertainment industry.

Armen got involved in my case--which seemed very complicated, in the summer of 2015, when our judge started getting a little peculiar and guided the litigation--as well as the senior partner in his firm, through to the default judgment phase. And although there are some interesting technical points over the next six months that must be traveled, the outcome could NOT have been better. It goes without saying that I am NOT the easiest of clients to work with, and the manner in which Armen was able to diffuse my 'all-over-the-place' personality, while still dealing with an absolutely crazy judge to get the outcome we got was absolutely AMAZING and deeply appreciated. I will say that I will rest extremely easier once we are truly done with the judgment being satisfied, BUT to have gotten to this point, with the judgment that Armen obtained is truly one of the greatest things that has ever been done for me, as well as my family.

Armen did an excellent job in getting us the result that we were trying to achieve. He also kept us well informed of the progress or for the reasons for a delay.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know of my experience with Mr. Manasserian. Far too often, people are eager to write letters or make a phone call to complain, but I wanted to take the time to write to let you know that I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Mr. Manasserian. Throughout my case, he was always very quick to respond, made himself available during times that most would consider after hours and always patient in explaining the status and details/developments of my case.
Upon settlement of my case, I felt that it was a fair settlement amount and that Mr. Manasserian did everything in his power to ensure this process had truly been as smooth and comfortable as possible. I could not have asked for more! I thank Mr. Manasserian for his honesty and support.

Talking with him on the phone for 30 minutes gave me immense confidence that he knew what he was doing and he could win my child custody battle for me. Once I hired him and saw him in action, I was blown away. Very smart, very talented, very honest with me. I highly recommend him and I will continue to use him for all my family law needs.

Greg Girvan is a master negotiator and will fight for you. He saved my life by negotiating my divorce settlement to my benenfit even though I was the major bread winner in my marriage. I was also the victim of Breach of Fiduciary responsibility and he is an expert in dealing with this issue. At our court appearance, he wiped the floor with opposing counsel because he was prepared and ready to out strategize her. I am beyond grateful to him and the FMBK professional team. You will not be sorry by hiring Greg and the firm to represent you during this difficult time.

From the get-go, Steve Mindel and his team proved their worth in handling my case effectively, efficiently, and with smarts.
Greg Girvan, my appointed attorney, demonstrated the perfect balance of professionalism and camaraderie in our relationship, from day one, creating a trust. I truly felt "protected" in the hands of FMBK Law. His insight into my case and his talent for writing gave my case the "champion" that it needed to reveal the truth of my matter in the eyes of the law.
Furthermore, Greg never lost sight of the bigger issue at hand, in what has been described as a complicated case, which I believe is what gave me leverage at the end of the day.
Hire Greg. You'll be glad.

I got a DUI back in 2014. Without getting into the details, my DUI case is not the typical DUI case and the DA was playing "hardball." Annie spent over a year fighting for me, filed motions to suppress evidence and was ready to take my case to trial. She refused to take just some plea deal. Annie was always on top of my case and kept me informed and updated. I don't know any attorney that would have put in as much time and effort as Annie did. I knew I was in good hands with Annie and I could not be happier with the outcome of my case.

My case had to do with intellectual property being infringed upon by some VERY big names in the entertainment business. Before coming to Annie, I had my case reviewed by several other lawyers who, I felt, were intimidated because of the high profiles maintained by the potential defendants in my case. NOT ANNIE, however! She displayed an outstanding grasp of the issues involved in my case from our very first meeting . She understood the delicate nature of my relationship with Blink 182 and handled my case with much discretion. She also really understood my music, which was extremely important to me. Annie's kind, caring nature and her prompt response to my e-mails and phone calls allow me to recommend her professional services to potential clients without reservation.

I had a Workers Comp case handled by a Law firm who used Hearing Representatives instead of Attorney's. After three Mandatory settlement conferences and false promises over a two year period the firm woke up and brought Annie Berlin to join the firm. Annie got more done in a three week period than any Hearing representative did in a two year period. At the settlement conference she was dynamic, professional and took my interest in the settlement. Thank you Annie for stepping up and getting this case settled and keeping me informed of everything that was going on with this case.

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.
