I am delighted to share my positive experience with Attorney Pieter O'Leary, who provided outstanding legal representation in my First Amendment case against CCSD (Clark County School District). From the outset, Mr. O'Leary demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to upholding my rights and achieving a favorable outcome. From our initial consultation, it was evident that Mr. O'Leary possessed a deep understanding of the intricacies of First Amendment law. His knowledge and expertise in this area were truly impressive, and it instilled in me a sense of confidence and reassurance throughout the legal process. Throughout the duration of the case, Mr. O'Leary displayed exceptional communication skills, keeping me informed and involved at every step. He ensured that I understood the legal strategies being employed and provided clear guidance on potential courses of action. This transparency fostered a strong sense of trust between us, and I always felt that my interests were at the forefront of his priorities. One of the most impressive aspects of Mr. O'Leary's representation was his ability to negotiate a settlement that exceeded my expectations. His strategic approach, coupled with his unwavering advocacy, resulted in a resolution that not only protected my rights but also provided closure to a challenging chapter in my life. Furthermore, Mr. O'Leary's professionalism and dedication to my case were truly commendable. He demonstrated a tireless work ethic and a genuine passion for justice, making it clear that he was not just my attorney, but a true advocate for my cause. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Attorney Pieter O'Leary highly enough for anyone seeking legal representation, particularly in matters involving First Amendment rights. His exceptional knowledge, impeccable communication, and remarkable negotiation skills were instrumental in securing a favorable outcome in my case. If you need a dedicated and skilled attorney, Mr. O'Leary is undoubtedly the one to trust.

I had the pleasure of meeting Pieter O’Leary back in 2016 as part of the Porter Ranch gas leak lawsuit and have been interacting with him as a client since then. He is resourceful, conscientious and an excellent lawyer. His vast knowledge, professionalism, effective communication, timely response and good follow through makes him a great asset to his clients as well as the firm he belongs to. My heartfelt appreciation to you Pieter for everything you have done for me and my family.

I was referred to Alex by one of his colleagues, another great Las Vegas lawyer. Alex returned my telephone call after business hours (I wasn't expecting that) and gave me all the time I needed to explain my predicament. He listened intently to what I had to say, answered all of my questions with clear, concise information and provided me with sound legal advice. In one phone call he made me feel as though we have known each other for years. Should I need to formally retain counsel in the future, I have no doubt I will be calling on Alex. I highly recommend Alexander M. P. Perry, Esq.

First of all, I'm not a big fan of lawyers. When I got into a car accident coming home from California seeking out a lawyer was not even a considerstion. When I first saw a doctor April was whom my doctor referred me too. I was still skeptical. Fast forward 9 months and having April Bonifatto on my side was absolutely the right decision. She is professional, caring, and has integrity in all she does. I would say we need more lawyers like April. But, if they were all like her I'd have to give up all of my lawyer jokes. April put me at ease after our first call. She kept me updated throughout the process and always had what was best for me in her mind. She made sure to negotiate with the insurance companies and medical providers for what was best for me. If you find yourself in an undortunate situation where you need an injury lawyer April Bonifatto is the real way to go!

Stephanie is a cross between Princess Diana and Erin Brockovich. She is beautiful, kind, selfless and endearing. She is also a fierce litigator who will do whatever it takes to get justice for her clients. My husband and I endured the most difficult times of our life when my husband and his business partner decided to part ways. From the second we met Stephanie, she made us feel important and like she genuinely cared about our case. She went above and beyond what you would expect from a lawyer while fighting and fighting until she won us what we had spent our whole lives earning. We will forever be indebted to her for what she has done for our family.

Erik Severino is an exceptional bankruptcy attorney who truly cares about his clients. My fiancée consulted with several attorneys, and most of them seemed more interested in getting her money than providing honest advice. Erik, however, was different. He was upfront and transparent from the start, advising her to hold off on filing bankruptcy because it wasn’t in her best interest at the time. His honesty and integrity were a breath of fresh air, and it was clear that he prioritized her well-being over making a quick buck. If you're looking for a trustworthy attorney who will give you genuine advice and put your best interests first, I highly recommend Erik Severino. You won't find anyone better.

It was difficult to trust another bankruptcy lawyer, but after reading Erick's reviews, I knew he was the right choice for me. When I called him, he was genuine and sincere about my situation. He even advised me that it might be in my best interest *not* to file. It was refreshing to receive real advice from an attorney who wasn’t just trying to get my money.

After a dog attack that left me with a facial scar and some upsetting memories, my husband suggested we see a lawyer. He looked through the St. George Yellow Pages and out of all the attorneys listed, he settled on Ron, which turned out to be a very good thing for us. At our first meeting, Ron put us at ease with his easygoing demeanor, and he listened patiently to our description of the event, asking for clarifications now and then. He explained how he would proceed and answered all our questions -- no pressure, no salesmanship, just forthrightness. Since we don't live in St. George, we accomplished most of what needed to be done by telephone, e-mails, and faxes, which made it easy on us. Ron and his assistant, Danielle, kept us apprised of every step being taken on our case. Their response times to our phone calls and e-mails were great. The settlement Ron achieved for us exceeded any expectations we had at the beginning of this journey, and we felt it was fair for all involved. If you are looking for an experienced, competent attorney who also is a genuinely good man, call Ron. You will be in good hands.

I hired Sharon Jannuzzi to serve as my representative in a probate case. Due to the death of my sister, the lack of a will, and my being an out-of-state resident from where she lived, I was in a particularly vulnerable position in dealing with her estate. I chose Sharon based on a friend’s recommendation and didn’t meet her in person until well into probate. I could not be more pleased with her and her assistant during every aspect of the process. They were thorough and prompt in their communications, made every effort to keep the costs of representation reasonable, and maintained a high level of integrity and professionalism. Perhaps most significantly, and not particularly commonplace for co-administrators in such cases, Sharon offered a welcomed level of personalism and proved to be both compassionate and kind throughout the many months we worked together.

I hired Legacy and was told will take it to trial. During mediation l was told to settle today or l could lose everything, because they were not going to represent me in court. Then the attorney settled the case against my will. I was forced to settle for considerably less than the original trust stated.

If you do end up needing litigation, I could not more highly recommend Robert to fight for and protect your interest. This is one heck of an attorney, he is passionate and takes pride in his work.   I engaged Robert to litigate a business contract dispute that was very personal to me and also to myprofessional reputation. It was a stressful and difficult situation that Robert handled with ease all the way through arbitration and a final judgment. If anyone feels a little uncomfortable working with attorneys and going through the litigation process, Robert is incredibly reassuring to work with. The client prep process we did together made me feel extremely confident about being on the witness stand, and I ultimately testified confidently for several hours. I was definitely nervous before, but I always knew that this attorney had my back and would fight for me. It was Robert’s work that resulted in not just winning my case, but winning with a far better judgment than I had ever even expected.

Robert has been supporting our family through one of the biggest hardships our business has faced. While plagued with financial problems and a lot of stress, not even once did we question entrusting the future of our family’s financial well-being to Robert. The difficulties we faced were enormous, yet we felt Robert’s presence, consistent guidance and genuine concern every step of the way. We knew that Robert cared like no other. He always made sure we remained well-informed of every viable option leading us to the best solution tailored to to the uniqueness of our legal issue and its surrounding practical realities. Robert’s professionalism, thoroughness, quick turnaround of information, and prompt responses to all our inquiries have been unmatched. I am confident that a stellar attorney like Robert has many clients; however, Robert has an exceptional ability of making us feel like we were his sole client and greatest priority. Looking to resolve legal issues is an emotionally draining process. Through this process, it was very important for us to be sure that we had the best support possible and Robert skillfully delivered a top-tier support!

I am not someone who writes reviews, however on this occasion have to say that Robert Kern is one ROCK SOLID Contact Law attorney. I was referred to Mr. Kern by my attorney who was relocating out of state and was unable to represent me / my case. Robert Kern went right to work, he actually cared about the Breach of Contract and money I lost. He was very generous with his time and handled all documentation and communications like a master chess player. He was available to answer my questions expertly and made sense of the legal system regarding my case, that I thought was extremely complex (I believe it is the former school teacher in him). I was both glad and fortunate to have Robert Kern by my side from start to finish - he definitely knows his stuff and as a result I got money! I highly recommend Mr. Kern for Contract Law.

Attorney Tatum was very helpful in advising me of my rights and responsibilities when I was struggling with discrimination at work. I was very afraid on how to proceed, and although he advised me I didn't yet have a claim, he told me what to do in order to protect my rights if the behavior from my supervisor continued. I will certainly visit him again.

The review below is from my partner. I was the handyman Laura Payne hired to do demo/construction on her home. It was an initial 3 day bid, which due to scope creep, turned into much more work, turning the full scope into 4-5 days work (all discussed and approved, though roughly understood on her part). On the beginning of the 3rd day, I arrived at her multimillion dollar estate in a gated community to find I had tools stolen out of her house by an electrician who came in without me there. Her response was to have her son and a strange man come into the closet while I was working, accuse me of lying about my tools and terminate her and my contract. It escalated verbally but I agreed to leave if I was paid for my time and supplies and got my tools. They then physically choked me on her front porch in broad daylight. The cops were called. And stories were gathered. Her, her son (who physically partook in and watched the battery), and the assailant Alfredo denied choking me or him even touching me at all. Her house is heavily video monitored, so I told the cops to pull the footage. He said he only could if they offered. Which they fully “cooperated” with the cop. The Paynes showed the cop altered footage that included unaltered clips of me bringing thousands of dollars of tools out of the house, the verbal altercations with Alfredo and son, but conveniently was missing the first minute of the clip where Alfredo choked me on her porch and attempted to shove me down 2 flights of stairs. Laura and her family/friends impeded and obstructed an investigation for battery on her personal property. I have zero legal recourse to have that crime investigated accurately now. They also put me in physical danger im a position where my egress, ability to defend myself or have an objective 3rd party were limited, if not completely unavailable. The optics/hindsight on this is scary. I have contacted the Nevada State Bar Association, her community HOA and intend on contacting the news. Laura paid me for supplies and the first 2 days but did not pay me for any of my time on the last day. She has since retroactively offered, but I told her I do not want her money. This is more than about money. This is about her ethics as a person and lawyer. As someone who has had the unfortunate, traumatic experience of working with her, I can positively say that she lacks ethical integrity completely. I did not deserve to be physically assaulted. There is no excuse for that. Attached are pictures of the project and scratches on my neck and shoulders from Alfredo choking me (2 days post incident). Though I was verbally defending myself, I did not physically touch anyone. Personal context: I’m currently a handyman/ punch carpenter. But drywaller/painter by trade. 10 years experience in my field. I have 2 college degrees; graduated from Western Michigan University in 2017 with a double major in English and journalism, minor ad promo. I spent the first 10 years of my professional life working for non profits and juvenile detention centers; helping marginalized populations learn to express themselves in nonviolent, creative ways. I finished my stint in CMH/social services in 2019 as a house manager for 1 of 3 homeless shelters in SW Michigan. That said, I have given back and given to the good in this world. I’ve been a community leader. This is unacceptable.

This “lawyer” hired my husband for a multi day demolition and construction project, which half way through after changing the scope of the job repeatedly, sent in her son and another man to threaten him to leave without payment. These actions were unprompted. Then her male friend proceeds to C H O K E him as he’s leaving her doorsteps which she asked him to do. there are scratches on his neck from this, police took pictures. These actions were on her ring camera footage, but this lawyer conveniently deleted the exact segment of the footage where her friend was assaulting him by the time the cops arrived. Wealthy Personal injury lawyer causing injury to poor working class folks. The man I love life was in danger because she was unhappy with a job she doesnt know how to do herself that she keeps requesting changes on.. I’ve never been so appalled by a person before, and I do not think she has a soul.

Mr. Wirth and his team are very attentive and you don't feel like your just another file or number that gets lost. They are very attentive to your needs and they minimize all your stress from the paperwork, to speaking with insurance companies, organizing all your doctor records, and really manage your case so I was able to focus on getting myself back on track. They even work early and later hours and accommodated my schedule. They even called me after I got out of work at 5PM to speak about my specific needs. They are very attentive and treated me with great respect that was greatly appreciated and noticed. Thank you Mr. Wirth and your team for really taking care of me! You guys are the BEST =)

My sister and I hired Kennedy Lee 18 months ago when our mother passed. We faced a complicated case and a vicious opponent with deep pockets. The Estate could not have been in better hands ever since. In Kennedy Lee we had (and still have) a dedicated fighter for justice on our side, honest and upright to the bones, his integrity and strong believe in justice and helping people is remarkable. He was and is always there for us, easy to talk to, responds to calls or emails within minutes. He takes all the time needed, listens and understands personal feelings and motivations as well as the legal cliffs and challenges of a case and gives you his best advice. Kennedy Lee always has our best interest in mind, works as cost efficient as possible and we trust him and his advice 100%. His Petitions are brilliant - the best I have ever read - clear and beautifully written, with impeccable logic and deep knowledge of the law as well as the human side of a case. Not once have we lost a motion or petition. Kennedy's knows the law inside out, he is clearly fascinated by the law and dedicated to his client's case. He understands to explain complex matters even to a client like me, who comes from Europe and just knew the completely different laws in my home country. Kennedy Lee is a patient and sensitive "friend" on one side, a prudent strategist with brilliant knowledge of the law on the other side. He is a great communicator and gives a client the feeling, he is there exclusively for you. A wonderful lawyer you difinitely want on your side.

I called HLC after my father passed recently. During my consultation, I spoke to Ms. Chu for over an hour. She took her time, listened and answered every question that I had. As you can imagine, in a situation like this, there were a lot of questions. A few hours after I spoke to her, I located a treasure trove of information and I would not have been able to understand any of it if she hadn’t taken her time and thoroughly explained the process and what exactly we were dealing with. She was knowledgeable, experienced and I could tell by speaking with her that she has that ‘thing’ in her that allows her to fight for her clients. She cares. And that is not an easy attribute to come by in a person, let alone an attorney. Thank you, Ms. Chu and Warren.

I met Mr Anello the day after a DUI arrest. I was feeling hopeless going into the office but during the meeting he explained what was going on with my case and my options so I left feeling confident that I had a good competent attorney. Along with the DUI charges we also discussed how the arrest could effect a family law case that I was involved in at the time and his knowledge about those matters were a huge help to me. I only had to meet with him twice before choosing a plan that worked for my personal situation to move forward with my life without spending years in court or becoming financially exhausted. At the end of my case, the results were better than I initially expected so I was very satisfied with Mr. Anello’s work on my case. I was happy that I had found him and I don’t think any other attorneys in my town would have had the same knowledge and experience to help me with all my issues.

The way he talks to opposing council, you can tell he knows his stuff. He’s very direct and professional. Doesn’t get walked on. He holds his position and tells opposing council what will be the next steps. He leaves them with no choice but to agree. This is the guy you want on your side.

He unlike other attorneys I have consulted with he did not make me feel belittled or demoralized in any way possible. He listened, gave legal advisement, referred, and pulled through. His retainer and fees were manageable and totally justifiable. Attorney Esposito kept in perfect communications with me throughout my ordeal/case. He took his time explaining to me what was going on, what could possibly happen, and are his plans for each possible scenario. If you are looking for an attorney who is passionate, understanding, and honest do not hesitate to reach out to 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?

  • 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.
