Rebecca could not be more helpful during our Chapter 7 bankruptcy. She was very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process. She walked us through the process every step of the way.

Rebecca was very helpful, going above & beyond her duties. Due to personal reasons I had to convert from a 13 to a 7. She helped me make the right decisions in my case, even contacting my exes lawyer when it really had nothing to do with the bankruptcy.

I could not have made it through two very difficult situations with out Mr. Lewis as my lawyer. With his representation both situations ended very positively. Mr. Lewis dedicated his time and energy into helping me take everything one step at a time. His office staff also was always there to help. I always felt like I could trust his office to fully handle my cases. I never had a problem with communication, my questions were always answered on a timely basis. I would hire Mr. Lewis again with no hesitation.

It was great dealing with Mr. Greenblatt. He was very responsive via text, cell, e-mail and kept me informed about every step. He would even call me to remind me about deadlines for certain things! I saved $3500 on my $7000 credit card debt with him!

I first contacted Mr. Newberg through an attorney referral service here in Grand Rapids, MI cocernining a civil suit being brought against me for a large amount of debt. Needless to say I was very concerned about the case being brought against me. After my first consultation with Chris I was feeling a bit more relieved about being able to settle this case before it even went to court. The fees charged were very fair and he even did a lot of consulting with me and back and forth with the plaintiff before any fees were brought up. Chris did an amazing job at getting my case settled at a fraction of the debt owed. Next time you hear an attorney joke, don’t laugh because the job Mr. Newberg did for me was no joke. Amazing job, treated me with respect through the whole process. I highly recommend Mr. Newberg for any legal services you need. Thanks Chris!

When I was arrested for violating the Grand Rapids noise ordinance last October, I hired Chris to help me navigate the legal repercussions. Throughout the process, Chris provided excellent counsel with speed, clarity, and tact. In the end, he negotiated a deal with the city attorney to have my case dropped in exchange for a modest amount of community service. Having never dealt with the justice system before, Chris served as an invaluable source of calm through an otherwise anxiety inducing period. I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring legal advice and/or representation in the West Michigan area. Thanks for everything, Chris!

My wife and were in need of Legal advice regarding the handling of our Lease, or lack thereof, as we could not reach an agreement with our Property Management Agency on our next year's lease for various reasons. We felt we were being taken advantage of to say the least. I was introduced to Chris through a Veteran's legal assistance program with which Chris was aligned. Chris helped us over the phone, at no charge, navigate the through our lease concerns several times as the situation developed. As the Agency continued to escalated the issue we would have felt very helpless without Chris' advice. In the end, we actually hired Chris and his Firm to negotiate directly for us we had to depart the state for another job. Chris expertly represented us and our concerns against the much more formidably funded Agency. In the end Chris was able to get the Agency to drop all their frivolous claims and pay us back all our deposits owed without having to go to court. For my wife and I, having Chris was well worth every penny we recovered from negotiation and then some; however, the icing on the cake was that his Firm's ultimate billing for matter was extremely reasonable and far less than I expected for his First Class Service. Chris really new the applicable laws as well as the statutory timing requirements for leases and used them to our advantage to essentially "win" the negotiations for us. He wrote letters for us and negotiated directly with the Agency and their lawyers. He maintained outstanding communications as we moved out of state and kept us informed and promptly had both our returned lease deposits and vast majority of our retainer fees returned to us. Working with Chris made an otherwise stressful situation as stress free as possible. If I ever have any legal questions or issues in the future, Chris will be my first call and I suggest anyone reading this consider doing the same. Thanks again Chris!!

Attorney Scott handled a contract dispute for me. i felt i was being harassed and that the company was trying to intimidate me into paying for a service i did not order. Atty. Scott took over and quickly negotiated an agreement I thought was fair and what I had offered in the first place. He will be my attorney from now own. It was nice to have someone who I felt would fight for me.

I have worked with Daniel on two occasions and will most certainly choose to work with him if ever a future need arises.
Daniel successfully negotiated a settlement for property damage that had been stagnant for months prior to his involvement. I contacted Daniel, explained what had transpired and within weeks the issue was resolved with a satisfactory outcome.
Daniel is currently assisting my wife with the re-negotiation of a settlement. The outcome remains TBD but at this point Daniel has moved this forward where her prior attorney could not. I assume that this too will reach a satisfactory outcome.
In any of my dealings with Dan, I've found him to be a tremendous listener who can quickly get to the heart of the matter and from that point moves forward in a very methodical manner while keeping me completely involved/informed along the way. I truly value the relationship that I have developed with Dan as my attorney.

Daniel was a fantastic advocate and representative for our company with nothing but our best interest in mind. Not only was he able to pinpoint the exact rule of law that would work to our advantage, but he also was able to express to us the "real world" probabilities of litigation and the positives and negatives of the litigating process in a precise, bare-bones professional manner. As a law graduate myself, I felt honored as a client and as a colleague to work with him.
Advocates like Daniel are an example as to how an attorney should work with their clients in an age where settlement numbers seem to be all that matter. Daniel is one of those individuals that treats all of his clients cases with sincerity, compassion and dedication. Simultaneously he treats the client with dignity, professionalism, and respect. Yes, many attorneys can claim that they possess these attributes, but what makes Daniel different is the fact that he can actually relate to the matter at hand, both personally and professionally, and convey that to the client in a manner that the client feels as though they are a part of the actual decision-making process, and not just standing idle waiting for results.
Daniel is a legal advocate that makes law understandable to his clients and adversaries so that the client does not feel as though it is not (as Judge Kevin Ross would say) "a foreign concept"; that on many levels he can provide legal advice, information, and options in a manner that is not overwhelming and relevant to anyone he represents.
Daniel Scott, truly is, one of "the good guys".

Mr. Kruse has been able to immediately advise me on every business start-up related issue I've put before him. This not only includes what you might expect from an attorney ... filing formation documents, identifying and crafting specific language for our operating agreement, etc. but also advise on liability insurance, funding issues, staffing considerations and even the look/feel and wording for promotional materials. I have worked with Pat in the early phases of three different businesses over the last ten years and he is now my first contact when a new opportunity comes my way. I highly recommend his services.

I called Mr. Smith after I had been locked in a 6x9 cage 23 hours a day for almost a year. He
came to visit me at jail and heard my story. He told me right away the charge should have been a
93-day misdemeanor, at best. What a sense of relief I felt at that moment. This man GOT me!
How happy I was to speak to someone who had common sense!
You see nobody else had understood or used any common sense. All year, I had called and
written letters to my public defender, prosecutor and sheriff. I wrote four detailed statements and
had someone type and email to all involved. This person also sent emails and phone calls on my
behalf; gathered evidence to support my story; and wrote an affidavit that summarized my case
in a nutshell.
All the effort with the others was in vain. Not one person got it.
But, along with his common sense, Mr. Smith had the ability to get the job done. How he
presented my case in court was flawless and I was on the street the same day. He saved me from

I will always remember how she resolved my legal issues/problems and how she has positively affected my life. Thank you Barbara!

Tim Lessing is the epitome of preparation and precision in all that he has accomplished in his multi-faceted legal career. I've know him for many years as a fellow attorney, and as an individual who has used him as a Facilitator to resolve cases big and small. From his days of being a court clerk, to his advocacy for his clients as an associate attorney, and even now in utilizing his analytical skills as a facilitator and in the courtroom, Tim Lessing is an attorney with the skills that many others will attempt to hone throughout their entire career, but all of which Tim has at his disposal now, as he zealously advocates for his clients, and ardently pursues a resolution when he is serving as a facilitator. I've personally used Tim to resolve tough, tough cases and I can unabashedly tell you the case would not have have resolved in his absence - his critical thinking and ability to think outside the box was indispensable. Keep up the fantastic work, Tim!

While needing to hire a lawyer was not on my list of things to do in life, being in a position where I needed one brought me to the Rodenhouse Law Group. Wonderful people from start to finish. Audra McClure was amazing with communication from the initial meeting to the final contact. Their efforts certainly made a life changing experience one that was not rushed, felt like I was being pressured or just another number in their list of clients: they made me feel like everything I had to say was important regardless of how big or little the details were.

I was in a bad auto accident in 2009 and have been in and out of surgery ever since. Like many of you, I had an insurance company that just would not budge when it came to paying the benefits that we are entitled to. I had contacted many lawyers with no luck and had settled with a lawyer out of Ann Arbor, who ultimately referred me over to Mr. Worsfold after a couple of years of getting nowhere. Mr. Worsfold was very kind and passionate about my case. He went the extra mile and won my case within a few months. The communication throughout my case was amazing! He always kept me up to date and in the loop. He went beyond what I believe any other lawyer would have done for me and my family. I would leave a 6 star rating if I could. I highly recommend Mr.Worsfold.

I had Mr.Hamor's help to solve my issues with my landlord. I was just so fortunate to know him through my friends' referral.
He is willing to listen to you, very responsive and clear. He explained things to me at each step, what was going on, and what to expect next, including time and fees. While things are very stressful, I could feel very protected because of Mr.Hamor.
At the last occasion facing my landlord, it was incredible that my landlord eventually asked Mr. Hamor (my attorney) for his advice. That tells you how much he is a professional and competent attorney. He was just my hero at that point.
Nobody wants to have an occasion to need an attorney's help. But unfortunately, it happens (like me). I had a very bad experience with another attorney for the same problem (who left me a feeling that he just "fast talked" me and almost convinced me not to have an attorney ever again.). However, my experience with Mr.Hamor has changed my view.
Please get a good one like Rob Hamor. who is passionate, professional and fair. Do not waste your time to find another one by googling. I would highly recommend him.

I've never been personally involved with a legal case and was very hesitant to trust and believe a lawyer could help my situation. To my surprise the firm was very responsive and Dean himself would get involved via phone or email follow-ups since we live in different states. Once my hearing was arranged, he took the time to answer all my questions and prepare me for the environment what was laying ahead.
He was on key so much, that even if I would have lost, I knew he done everything a human possibly could do to bring the truth out. I am thrilled to so say, it went into my favor!
Thank you again Dean, for your superior research, knowledge, listening skills and profession!

I have worked with Dan Chapman and the Troy Law Firm for nearly 20 years. My experience with them has been very pleasant and professional. Dan has handled many personal & business contracts as well as my estate planning. In all my past experiences, we have gotten down to business quickly, effectively and keeping costs at a minimum. My bills are fair and I usually know a rough idea of my costs before any projects begin. Perhaps the best thing I can say about this firm is that they bring ideas to the table. Being a small business owner, I don't know what I don't know.... The Troy Law Firm is a nice "safety net" for us.

My bills are fair and I usually know a rough idea of my costs before any projects begin. Perhaps the best thing I can say about this firm is that they bring ideas to the table. Being a small business owner, I don't know what I don't know.... The Troy Law Firm is a nice "safety net" for us.

I've hired Aaron Silvenis to handle the needs of myself and all of my clients. After meeting Aaron and discussing our needs, I knew that he was the man for the job. It truly is hard to find trustworthy individuals in the music industry but Aaron is definitely that individual. I've dealt with a couple of Entertainment Lawyers in the past and while they all talk a good game, none delivered the results and professionalism that Aaron has.
I would highly recommend Aaron Silvenis for anything you're working on. I put my name, reputation, and brand behind this endorsement!

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.
