Igor was very helpful in supporting my spouse's green card application. Igor was fully aware of all the relevant processes and procedures and we did not have any issues with any of the filed documents. Igor provided additional guidance and consultation as the application process went on longer than expected. His support, advice and guidance reduced the level of stress related to this process, and in the end, we were successful receiving the green card. Thanks Igor!

My wife and I worked with David to review the legal documents of a new business venture. David was responsive, informative and a real pleasure to work with. After our initial conversation, David was able to address our biggest concerns and provide the clarification that we needed to move forward with our plans. We look forward to continuing to work with David.

David helped me navigate aspects of a particularly aggressive and non-standard non-compete agreement in light to new Massachusetts law. He broke down the legal problems into manageable chunks and considered them on a best case and worst-case scenario. He shed light on the legal grey areas particularly where the interpretation of the law is still evolving. David stuck to the problem, was open and friendly to discussion, and answered questions with a great degree of expertise. Further discussion and follow up went beyond the call of duty. While I am on a budget and was initially hesitant to spend money on attorney, after I hired David I am better oriented to the legal situation and feel more secure.

我和赵律师通过我的一位挚友朋友介绍于2020年1月认识，当时我因离婚事宜一直在麻州找律师，我对她的第一印象来自于我朋友对她的介绍。她说赵律师是一名非常有正义感并乐于帮助他人的律师。2020年1月我们在微信上互加好友，之后就离婚事宜我曾多次通过微信和电话咨询赵律师。在认识赵律师之前我也咨询过其他律师，相比之下，赵律师是最有耐心的。2021年年底我的离婚案启动，由于考虑交通问题，我当时并没有选择赵律师，而是在附近找了一名当地律师为我打离婚案，而事实证明这是我做的最错误的选择。这名律师不仅搞砸了我的案子，还收取了不合理的费用。
当我的案子在进行到Trial之前，我感到特别无助，我当时唯一能做的就是果断换一名律师，我能想到的第一人选就是赵律师。赵律师在接到我的案子后，从头到尾进行梳理，进行补救。这期间她一直和我保持沟通，所有的文件及时分享给我，让我了解最新的进度，我能感受到赵律师在很用心的做我的案子。除了专业的法律知识和犀利的口才，赵律师给我印象最深刻的就是她强有力的逻辑思维能力和应变能力。
我的离婚案前后经历了两年左右时间，这是我人生中最身心疲惫的两年，赵律师的接手，让我的生活逐渐步入了正轨，作为赵律师的客户，我很安心。离婚判决的结果显得已经不那么重要了，选择一名好的值得信任的律师，为我带来了远比金钱物质更有价值的东西。
近年来我从其他朋友的谈论中我也了解到，赵律师帮助过很多客户并得到大家的广泛认可和好评。

几年前通过朋友介绍，我找到赵律师帮我成功地索赔两次违约欠款。后来又为我解决了其它诉讼纠纷。我曾陆续介绍了多位有法律纠纷和有商业合同需求的朋友给赵律师，每次朋友都得到了满意的结果。不论是诉讼索赔、商业咨询和合同审阅起草，还是其它维权，赵律师都是我最信任，认为最专业有能力并尽职尽力的律师，能让我放心推荐的律师。

Couple of months after I submitted my case to the USCIS. I have gotten into a car accident. Since my licenses were international I got into serious troubles and was facing a potential jail time & possible compromise of my immigration case. My Lawyer (Valarie) at that time; when she heard the news, she took over that case absolutely no charge and went to court with my twice! Eventually, she got the case dismissed and my immigration case was approved on time. I would recommend that compassion and professionalism to everyone I know.

I contacted Ms. Crow for advice on handling a matter involving a company; I reached her approximately 30 minutes prior to a call I had with the other party. Ms. Crow took my call immediately, listened to a brief summary of the situation, and provided clear, concise points for me to consider during the discussion. We agreed that I would provide subsequent follow-up. Ms. Crow’s suggestions were excellent, the call was successful, and I hired her to represent me in negotiations; the matter was resolved in my favor.
Ms. Crow was always responsive, by phone and email, her work was excellent, she was friendly, patient, and sympathetic, and her fees were reasonable. I would strongly recommend her for personal representation in business matters.

This is a very professional and caring law firm. David Crossley is hands on and attentively listens to what you say. His support staff is great and equally as professional and caring. Phone calls and E-mails are responded to, at the latest, the next day. The actual hearing is less tense as Atty. Crossley explains everything that is going on.

John was recommended to me by another attorney to handle a very difficult and complicated case. We have a lending company ,our client passed away but prior to his passing he took a very large deposit on this property from one of his employees on a promise that their would be a credit for that amount and she could purchase the property ,
Upon her employers death she decided that the property was hers and she became a squatter unable to buy the property but decided she owned it. The woman then decided our company and myself were responsible for her loss. She sued us for fraud, conversion of the funds, unjust enrichment and anything else she and her attorney made up.
Fast forward John Harkevy to the rescue. He analyzed the case and on 5 seperate actions against us won summary judgement in our favor on all 5. He then started an action for possession and back rent which we settled on favorable terms. Thankyou John who I would highly revomend for his knowledge and how well he handled such a difficult and complicated case.
Thanks John

Exceptional Legal Representation and Service
I recently had the opportunity to be represented by Travis T. Pregent, Esq. of Pregent Law in an employment case, and my experience was outstanding. From the onset, Travis demonstrated an exceptional level of involvement and commitment to my case. His ability to explain complex legal processes in a clear and understandable manner was incredibly reassuring.
One of the most impressive aspects of Travis's service was his flexibility and transparency throughout the case. He was always available to address my concerns and provided timely updates, ensuring that I was fully informed at every stage. His strategic foresight was remarkable; he accurately anticipated the opposing party's moves, which played a crucial role in the outcome of the case.
Moreover, Travis's honesty and straightforwardness in discussing what was possible and what wasn't helped set realistic expectations. His skillful negotiation and strategic approach led to a resolution much sooner than I had anticipated, and I was thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.
In my role as an employee involved in a legal dispute, having an attorney like Travis, who combines expertise with genuine care for his clients, made a significant difference. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me were truly commendable.
I highly recommend Travis T. Pregent and Pregent Law to anyone seeking legal representation that is not just effective but also compassionate and client-focused.

I had a wonderful experience working with the Banfield Hung Law Firm. Alejandra and Patrick are wonderful people and provided me with all the information and support I needed throughout my case.
They listened and cared about what I had to say, and thoroughly answered all my questions. Having them on my side helped alleviate my anxiety throughout the process.
I am so grateful for the Banfield Hung Law Firm for getting me the emotional vindication and financial retribution that helped me put that difficult time behind me.

In 2022 my previous employer stopped paying their employees. After several months of going unpaid, I reached out to several firms to understand my legal rights. Banfield Hung Law Firm was the only one that actively listened to me. Throughout the entire process, Patrick and Alejandra were frank and straightforward with me: explaining the process, weighing my options, and outlining next steps. They were able to answer all my questions and were quick to turn around ones that required a bit of looking into. We were in constant communication and they never hesitated if I had to speak to them at night or on the weekend. Patrick and Alejandra were humane throughout the entire process and a source of comfort during a very stressful period; they kept reassuring me that I was doing the right thing. I always felt they had my best interest in mind. I highly recommend Banfield Hung Law Firm and would use them again should I ever have any issues with my employer.

I was scared and confused and frankly completely lost when I found out I had to go to court. Thankfully I called James Doherty who was very helpful and very good at calming me down and pointing me in the right direction. One of the last things he said to me in our first phone call was to "not worry and everything will be ok." James reassured me every step of the way as things progressed. James was very professional individual keeping everything we spoke to on topic and efficient. I was also dealing with a big move to the west coast at the time of the case and
James saved me the trouble of having to fly back to the state of New Hampshire by convincing the judge to let me appear via telephone in California state. I can't say enough about how effective and helpful James Doherty was! He was a man of few words but every single thing he said carried weight and reassurance that everything was in fact, going to be ok, and he was right! I wish I still lived in NH only to have Doherty in my back pocket in case I ever needed him again. You are in great hands with James Doherty.

Mr. Jim Doherty was my divorce lawyer and he was amazing. He did an excellent job representing me in my divorce case, and my divorce process wasn’t easy. It took quite some time, but with Jim’s support in addition to how well he fought to defend me in my case, and to make sure I got exactly what I deserved; I made it through. I highly recommend Jim Doherty and he deserves a 5 star rating.

A range of emotions surface when requiring the services of a legal professional. I needed someone who had an indepth knowledge and understanding of Workman's Compensation law, Stacie Sobosik came highly recommended. Stacie understood what was required of my situation and created a strategy with maximum results. Stacie and her team were excellent and clearly the team to represent me.
From the first conversation to the most recent Stacie has been kind, patient, professional, forthcoming, honest, direct and a great listener with excellent communication skills. Stacie explained until I understood, provided guidance, reassurance, kept me informed, and was more than prepared with the best possible outcome. The judge admired her deligent work.
Because of Stacie, my rights have been protected, required future health care has been put in place and my finances are secure leading into retirement.

Doug was fantastic, helping my family, specifically my daughter and son in law, finalize some legal documents. Their previous lawyer had essentially flaked out on them and they had been waiting 6+ months to complete the process. I reached out to Doug after reading his reviews, which I can confirm are all accurate. He was responsive, and followed up immediately with me to understand the situation. He reviewed and revised our documents and set up a meeting to complete the process. He provided great legal advice, and is a genuinely nice guy who seems to enjoy helping is clients. I highly recommend him.

Pam worked with me across many years as a consultant during a very difficult and emotional divorce. She is a bright and savvy lawyer who was also very personable and supportive when I needed it most. Across the years she consulted, Pam was able to help me navigate and understand not only what my legal rights were, but also those of my daughter. Additionally, I appreciated her honesty during some very difficult conversations. I would highly recommend Pam as an attorney or consultant, and will be forever grateful for all of her support.

My referral to Pam Schaefer occurred during a very confusing and stressful time.
My original attorney, who had very ably represented me, knew that there were remaining issues after the final ruling that would necessitate ongoing litigation. He was not keen on this, as he had developed an antipathy to my ex-wife.
He suggested someone different, and recommended someone he had very high regard for. I was apprehensive, needless to say.
During our first meeting Pam succinctly outlined the issues. She also accurately, it turned out, predicted the uphill climb we faced. Never wavering, staunchly in my corner, she and her office shepherded me through this very trying minefield.
Yes, it is true: after a settlement both parties should be a little unhappy. Schaefer law kept my unhappiness manageable. Much appreciated.

In June of 2020, I was entering a grocery store and slipped in a puddle of water on the floor and broke my ankle. I was on vacation from California and did not know any Attorneys. A friend suggested George MacKoul in Hyannis. George had practiced in California and was very knowledgeable in both California and Massachusetts law.
George really helped me with ideas to assist him in preparing my case. One suggestion was keeping a daily diary. The case took 2 years to close. George negotiated a very good settlement. He and his Assistant, Diane, made our long-distance communication and document filing seamless.
I would definitely encourage anyone to engage the services of George MacKoul!

I hired George to represent me in a dispute I had with a boat yard. The boatyard failed to properly winterize my boat causing damage to the engines, and the cabin. The boatyards insurance company tried to offer me a small amount of money, but once I had George on the case things changed rapidly. I ended up getting the compensation I was asking for from the insurance company, and they had to dispose of the boat themselves. I can't say enough about George and how he efficiently worked through this dispute for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

Attorney MacKoul was recommended to me from a friend in a very trying Litigation case that did not need to go to court. Attorney MacKoul explained in detail exactly what we were going to do and could have not made me feel any more confident in how we were to proceed with my case. The communication was exactly how it should have been and I felt very comfortable once we discussed the details. I could not be any happier with the end results and feel that I have established a long term relationship. Honesty, integrity, communication, and clear cut decisions are what Attorney MacKoul strives for and that is what I received. A big Thank You for everything!

Attorney Kurt Kusiak was our representative in a probate case and assisted by his colleague, Nathalie K. Salomon. We had been previously working with another Firm for more than 14 months on the same case with little to no progress being made. We decided to change Counsel and met with Kurt, and from the very first conversation it was clear that he knew exactly what needed to be done to get the evidential truth in our case discovered and presented to help us obtain the expressed result and closure we deserved and needed. Kurt is extremely knowledgeable, a poised communicator, and always responsive to both our inquiries and the needs of the case. He is a great listener and showed us both patience and compassion in understanding the emotional suffering this case was imposing upon us. He was the voice of reason that was needed, and we had confidence that we were in great hands with him. Kurt was able to bring us the resolution we needed in less than four-months time; proving to us that our change in counsel was the best decision we could have made. We would absolutely recommend Attorney Kusiak’s services to anyone seeking a great litigator who is both hard working and truly cares about his clients.

I hired attorney Carima to handle my case. She was great. Christine is very knowledgeable was always professional and prepared. I know nothing about divorce and was scared and upset. She id very easy to talk to and calmed me down; answered all my questions. She got me the best outcome that I could have asked for. I have children and she explained that throughout life, as the needs of the kids and myself change, there may come a time to modify my divorce. I will be calling her again to handle that. I will be hiring her to take care of a civil matter as well. She also handles civil matters.

In the law enforcement profession, we hope to never have to need an attorney, but one night at 11pm when I arrived at work, I found an envelope in my mailbox indicating that my agency was investigating me. The first phone call I made was to the Legal Defense Fund, and as luck would have it, Attorney Gambaccini was the lawyer handling the emergency calls to the law firm at that time.
From that night on, Attorney Gambaccini was extremely helpful in offering a different perspective on the situation I was being investigated for. I believe that with his input and guidance at each step of the way, he helped me navigate through waters that proved to be extremely challenging at the time.
It turned out that the first investigation that Attorney Gambaccini helped navigate me through was just the beginning. Over the course of the next few months, I would come to depend upon Attorney Gambaccini's feedback and knowledge many, many more times.
Through the numerous (and I mean numerous) phone calls that the two of us had, Attorney Gambaccini listened like a friend and offered help as I needed an attorney to do. A year has passed since having to utilize Attorney Gambaccini's expertise, and since successfully helping me with with my ordeal, I can say that I still keep in contact with Andy. I wouldn't hesitate in reaching out to him in his official capacity should I ever need legal assistance again in the future, but am happy that I get to keep in touch with him as a friend at this stage in my career.

Andy was intorduced to me by another member of his firm. He has helped me through some difficult situations, including a civil suit. The case was dismissed without further action. He went out of his way to keep me informed and placed my mind at ease on many occassions. He is always courteous, professional, and extremely helpful. He has taken the time to speak with me on other matters, including both job related and personal. In my position, I have the opportunity to work with numerous attorneys in the public and private sector. He is an outstanding lawyer and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I was first introduced to Andy through the MPA's legal defense fund. I needed the assistance of an attorney with a civil service employment issue. Andy and his associates at Reardon, Joyce and Akerson worked tirelessly towards my case. Andy kept me up to date with constant communication. His knowledge of the law, particularly of the civil service process, was impressive. Even though I was just one of his many clients, I felt a level of personalization between he and I that made the whole ordeal more manageable. I would strongly encourage anyone questioning whether or not they should sign up for the legal defense to do so. You never know what life will throw at you next and having the legal defense fund makes that uncertainty more manageable. I would have never guessed that one day I would have needed the assistance of the legal defense, but I am glad I singed up for it.
I would highly recommend Andrew Gambaccini and his colleagues at RJA for any of your legal needs. I know they will treat you will the same respect and dedication that they gave me.

I reached out to Zach who was Reccomnded though someone at Harvard law criminal justice department.
I spoke to several other attorneys as well as Zach. Zach stands out compared to the 4 other attorneys I had consultations with.
I called and he got back to me within the hour. I had a phone consultation with him about my case.
He went above and beyond with out being asked.
In our consult, and for several days following Zach continued to give me information I had never been presented before that could be the difference between winning and losing a case. This is all based on Zach’s experience, knowledge and research. He took the time and went far beyond the expectations of a consultation.
He presented it from both sides and was able to play devils advocate well.
Alone on his consult, I would highly Reccomnded Zach. There are many attorneys out there but there are few that put in the time and effort as Zach does.

This is all based on Zach’s experience, knowledge and research. He took the time and went far beyond the expectations of a consultation.
He presented it from both sides and was able to play devils advocate well.
Alone on his consult, I would highly Reccomnded Zach. There are many attorneys out there but there are few that put in the time and effort as Zach does.

Lindsey Straus recently assisted our retail business with trademark issues. She was referred to us by our local chamber of commerce and we are so glad to have had her expertise and experience guiding us. She is extremely thorough, very responsive and advised on all the legal issues involving a trademark. We had met with others re: our trademark and chose The Law Office of Lindsey Straus to represent us, and we definitely made the right decision. Highly recommend!

Lindsey prepared trusts, last will and testaments, powers of attorney, trustees certificates and health care proxies for my wife and me. She was extremely expedient but thorough and prepared all these documents for a third of the price of a Hyannis lawyer who had quoted the job. Her handling of our personal preferences for last rites was particularly compassionate.

A few short years ago my company ran into an egregious trademark and copyright infringement. In reviewing local attorneys, I discovered Ms Straus had extensive experience in the field and hired her. Despite the complexity of the case, we achieved a resounding success and very quickly. We again ran into yet another similar infringement in the past couple months so I called upon Attorney Straus yet again. And again, in a matter of only a couple weeks she was able to shut down the violation and bring it to a quick resolve. Not only that, it ended up not costing me a penny. Should we find ourselves confronted with yet another ne'er-do-well attempting to steal our IP down the road, be assured we know who to call. I recommend anyone else do the same.

Michelle Cote is the top choice if you require exceptional legal representation. With her extensive expertise and proven track record as a lawyer and litigator,
Michelle consistently exceeds expectations in even the most challenging cases. Michelle's approach is meticulous and strategic, ensuring that every angle is considered. Her ability to dissect legal issues and present clear, persuasive arguments is second to none.
When I was collateral damage in a lawsuit with a multi-billion dollar company coming after me, my first law firm did nothing but talk amongst themselves running up bills while doing nothing. I fired them and hired Michelle.,
Michelle was there for me. She dealt with the two large law firms hired by the multi-billion dollar company and eliminated all claims they had against me. To sum it up, we won and we won because of Michelle. While I never should have had this action taken against my company without Michelle we could not have overcome this adversity.
In conclusion, Michelle Cote is an exemplary lawyer whose expertise and demeanor make her an outstanding advocate. Anyone needing a skilled litigator would be well advised to consider her services.

I had tried several attorneys. They have either not responded or were too busy. I emailed Mr. Krefetz on Friday and received an email on Mon. AM. Unfortunately I had found an attorney on Friday.
I didn't get a chance to work with him but would use him if I have further need for an attorney.

As a first time landlord, I needed assistance with dealing with a tenant who has been constantly behind with the rent and having on-going money problems, among the many other issues. I got to the point of needing to evict this tenant but wasn't sure how to go about it correctly. I've heard some horrible stories that made me very nervous. After the first phone conversation with Josh, he assured me that we had a good case for a positive outcome. Josh started working the case right away & walked me through the entire process. It was very reassuring to know I was taking the right legal steps throughout this very scary eviction process and to have Josh to advice me.
I would definitely hire Josh again, if need be. He is outstanding and very professional. Thank you Josh!

I was a brand new landlord and made a lot of mistakes. I wound up with a problem tenant and went searching for a lawyer to help. Josh was the only one to take the time to investigate my situation and keep me out of the pitfalls this professional tenant had laid before me. Had it not been for Josh I would likely have failed miserably at being a landlord. I recommend him without reservation.

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.
