I had the privilege of retaining Mr. Patrick Holmes as my attorney. I received a traffic citation in NC, and being that I do not live in NC, it made an already stressful situation worse. Both Mr. Holmes, and his paralegal, Bradley Byrd were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, straight forward, honest, understanding, patient and kind. I always felt informed. If I had a question or concern, my emails were always answered within a reasonable amount of time. They truly made such a stressful situation so much less stressful, and for that I am grateful. They are upfront about what they charge, and their prices are fair and reasonable. They are truly worth every penny! On top of it all, I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case. It was better than even expected and I have them to thank for it! I would highly recommend them!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mr. Riley from the Stubbs Law Firm, and I can confidently say that their expertise in bankruptcy law is unmatched. Mr. Riley has a deep understanding of both business and consumer bankruptcy matters, and his guidance has been invaluable in helping navigate complex financial situations.
From the very first consultation, it was clear that Mr. Riley is not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in his clients' success. He took the time to understand my concerns and offered practical solutions tailored to my specific needs. His experience, particularly in Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, gave me confidence throughout the process. His approachable nature made it easy to discuss sensitive financial topics without feeling overwhelmed.
What sets the firm apart is their commitment to their clients and the community. Mr. Riley’s dedication to mentoring younger attorneys and his involvement in community organizations shows that he values relationships beyond the courtroom. It’s rare to find an attorney who combines professional expertise with a genuine desire to see his clients succeed both personally and financially.
If you are looking for a law firm that truly cares about helping you through bankruptcy or financial challenges, I highly recommend Stubbs Law Firm. Their experience, personalized approach, and commitment to the community make them a standout choice.

Roughly two years ago, I reached out to Mr. Greene’s office to seek counsel on matters pertaining to my rapidly deteriorating marriage (since then, my divorce has been finalized). Little did I know how difficult this chapter of life would be for my sons and I – the divorce process felt brutal at times, with me “not knowing what I didn’t know”. Thank the Lord I had the resources to secure Mr. Greene’s counsel. Without his team, I would have literally been without much hope to protect myself through this nightmare. His right-hand paralegals (Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Paula) both provided me with continued assurance, mental & emotional support, and the constant reminder I was in good hands with the firm.
The days leading up to a court appearance, my nerves were always on edge – those were such high stakes days! For some reason, however, when walking into the firm’s office the morning of, I’d relax. I knew Mr. Greene and his team *legitimately* were going to protect my best interests. Court appearances always went well, as it was easy to see Mr. Greene knew how to navigate a courtroom almost effortlessly, commanding respect in an understated, humble way. During every one of those court dates, I was reminded that my attorney was unequivocally the best domestic attorney in the courtroom.
While divorce has been an incredibly expensive, mentally & emotionally taxing, downright ruthless experience for me, I *truly* do not know what I would have done had it not been for Greene, Crow, Wilson & Smith. Divorce can be a rather cruel “fact of life” at times. But Mr. Greene’s team knows how to navigate these kinds of waters with a calm, professional, diligent, experienced demeanor. Do yourself a favor – have a consultation, and do whatever you can to secure your retainer. Choosing this firm will be one of the wisest decisions you can make during what might likely be one of the most challenging times of your life. I promise you, they will help you get out of the storm as unscathed as possible.

Mr. Green was an awesome Attorney for me. He did exactly what he said he would do. There is a stipulation. You have to do what he says to do. That’s the reason you hire them! He made that clear to me on our first visit. I was awarded custody of my children in 2008 because of this Mr. Green. Though it’s been a very long time I can only image he has gotten better!
Thank you Kelly!

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.
