I called the office of Attorney Anthony Ballato after searching for some who deals with knowledge of the Lemon law. Mr Ballato was extremely helpful, and personable. He spoke to me giving me his time and showing compassion. He explained that due to the car being purchased out of state he would recommend an attorney in the state where the vehicle was purchased. He just happened to know an attorney in that state I mentioned then.. he sent a text message ahead while still on the phone with me sharing with this attorney my dilemma. I was amazed because many would and have said “sorry but I can’t help you” that’s out of my jurisdiction. Not Mr Ballato he wen the extra mile and I am so very grateful to him. I did speak with the recommended attorney. I highly recommend this law practice to anyone seeking an attorney in this area of need although his office also covers many other types of cases. I give this Law Practice 5 Star rating. You will not be disappointed.

Mr. Ballato is an old-fashioned kind of lawyer fighting for the underdog -- he's there when you need him. He's given us his time, concern, consultation -- and has been working to help us. He follows up, knows what he's talking about, and gets results. Attorneys like him are becoming hard to find these days.

I bought a Harley Davidson motorcycle that sadly turned out to be a lemon. Initially, I decided to handle the process of filing a lemon law claim on my own. However, once I received a response from Harley's attorneys, I quickly realized that I was in over my head. I found Anthony Ballato's firm through an online search. Despite my hearing being scheduled just a few weeks away, Anthony graciously agreed to review my case. After our discussion, it became evident that I would greatly benefit from his experience and expertise. I hired Anthony and it didn't take long for Harley to become more cooperative. Eventually, we reached a settlement that left me very satisfied. Next time I will save myself a considerable amount of time and frustration and go to Anthony first.

I called inquiring about services needed, and although they didn’t offer the services I need, Debbie went above and beyond to assist me! She help me navigate the online portal and ultimately I was able to find an attorney to assist me. Imagine how much assistance I received, even though she knew I would not be obtaining services with them. This is definitely a law firm that I would recommend to anyone who wants someone to listen and really help them. Thanks so much Debbie!

My business instagram had been hacked and we simply were not getting anywhere on our own. I spoke with Ryan. He did a great job of laying out his strategy while also managing my expectations. The entire team at his firm was professional, responsive and friendly. In the end it took a little time but we got our account back. Just an overall great experience. Highly recommend.

14 Mar, 2022 by George

I called to ask about my case for a defamatory review that we received on our business page. I can't be more happy that Deborah was the one that picked up my phone call, since the very beginning I could tell that she loves what she does cause in her tone of voice you can tell that she's willing to help everyone from the heart. After a conversation of 40 minutes I dont gonna keep looking for more Law Firms instead of doing that. I'll call back to Deborah and that's why I've saved the phone number that I used to call. Thank you very much again for your help Deborah.

In 2018 i hired Mike. He was outstanding, he consulted with me on my case and from that moment on I was sure he was the guy to represent me. From day 1 Mike took on my case as if I was his only client. He and Yvonne explained everything to us plain and simple. He was thorough and didn’t skip a beat. Not only did he did he take my case but he was professional and completely honest and very compassionate. Mike is the best attorney to take on anything regarding personal injury. He explained everything to me taking away all my stress of my injury. It’s been a pleasure working with Mike and Yvonne (and his entire staff) and if you’re looking for the best representation you need to hire Mike Levine.

We had amazing representation from Robert Fellows. After an unfortunate cycling accident, my wife spent three days in the ICU and suffered significant pain as the result of a driver who made an incredibly irresponsible decision. Robert Fellows, who we've known for years, came to our aid. He helped to not only get us a fair settlement, but he made sure that the auto insurance company lived up to their obligations. More importantly, Robert treated us like a friend. He checked on us regularly and his concern for our well being as well as his genuine compassion is what make him incredibly special. Strongly recommend !!

I want to thank the team at Hymowitz, Fellows and Rice Law Firm. Professional and dignified organization that truly took care of me and my family during a time when we needed guidance. Mr. Fellows went beyond what I expected in listening and understanding my unique situation. Ms. Castillo organized my volumes of medical records and papers. And Mr. Fellows and Mr. Rice guided me through the depositions and final mediation. This firm provided quality law expertise and I cannot be happier with the service I received. If you are looking to have a true partner to help and be there for you in your litigation, then I highly recommend Hymowitz, Fellows and Rice Law Firm.

We were absolutely thrilled with the work of Albert Durante, Dan Tota, and Amanda Abel during the purchase of our home in April 2017. They helped guide us through every step of the process, clearly explained all our options, and advocated for us from contract through closing. They are a full-service shop, able to work seamlessly with all parties, from the mortgage broker, the bank, the real estate agents, and the title company. These professional relationships developed by Durante, Bock, & Tota saved us both time and money, both values so critical during a closing! We can't recommend DBT strongly enough! Call them today!

Dan Tota assisted us with the purchase of our first home. He was wonderful to work with thoroughly walking us through the process and answering all our questions along the way. His team was also equally helpful and knowledgeable.

18 Apr, 2017 by Janet

The results from having Dan Tota represent me were nothing short of a miracle! I was really in the worst position in my life when I was given Dan's number. I had signed an agreement with the sellers without a mortgage contingency. I put my life savings down as a deposit and was about to lose it if I couldn't close the deal. Everything was falling apart and the lawyer I was using told me he could no longer help me. Dan worked with me every step of the way in a friendly, kind, and informative manner. He negotiated with the sellers for more time and helped me find the right financing so I could close the deal I could not recommend anyone more highly and because of Dan I am now the very happy owner of my dream home!

Got a ticket on the Taconic, and found this firm through google search. They were quick, responsive, professional, and did a thorough and great job representing me. They kept me properly informed through the entire process. I'm driving more slowly now, but if I ever have a problem again, I would use them without a doubt.

18 Apr, 2019 by David

We were ticketed on the Taconic on our way north, and the town court was much too far away to contest the ticket in person. After research, we chose Jonathan Katz to represent us in town court. Jonathan's office explained the process clearly, and communicated promptly. The ticket was reduced from a 4 point unjust result to a 0 point non-moving violation (improper parking), and we paid the fine by website the same day. Excellent result.

We just want to express our sincere thanks to Colin Fitzgerald at Doran & Murphy. From our first conversation with Colin we felt as if he truly understood everything that we had been through. He represented our interests well and kept reassuring us that he was on our side and what we were feeling was comepletely normal and justified. Colin understood railroad law, standards and policy. We feel the communication was top notch. If we had to use just 4 words to describe Colin they would be Honest, Compassionate, Ethical and Knowledgeable. We trusted his guidance and he did not let us down. Thank you again.

I am someone who never bothers to write reviews, even when I’m happy with a product/service. I am beyond thrilled with Daniel Kron’s services as a lawyer and his character as a person. Daniel Kron is beyond good. He will help you. He wants to help you. There is no one who will do a better job. No challenge is too big, too nuanced, too complicated for Daniel to handle. Stop wasting your time reading this review. Call Daniel if you need legal advice in any of his areas of practice, now.

23 May, 2023 by Jason

I had an excellent experience with Daniel Kron. From our very first phone conversation he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand. My case was what I perceived to be a difficult, high conflict case in regard to visitation and custody. It was a very tumultuous time for me and Daniel always took the time, generously I might add, to explain things thoroughly and to discuss strategy. From the beginning, Daniel was straightforward, concise, transparent and knowledgeable. We often discussed various options at length along with his recommendations and personal advice as to how he thought we should proceed. I felt as if we were working together, with his professional guidance. I found this to be invaluable as it allowed me to strategize with him. I trusted him implicitly. He possesses integrity and conducts himself in an ethical manner. I believe this helped us win the case. His composure and class throughout the virtual court proceedings were always on point. I am very grateful for his work and highly recommend him.

Having a good attorney is such an important part of life and these attorneys are GREAT.

I could not recommend Ms. Browde more strongly to represent you in your legal matters. I had a situation where I had to be divorced and it came without warning. After being yanked around by a previous attorney I consulted AVVO who recommended Ms Browde. She took this very shook up Client, guided me through each step, took care of everything, and let me know she was only one call away whenever needed. In the span of three months the divorce was complete and my life is set right. Hiring Ms Browde was the best decision I ever made. Thank you . Michael D Casabianca RN BSPA CNOR

After our motor vehicle incident with our son and having it out of county, we did not know who to call. I have many trusted law enforcement partners in the the surrounding counties so I reached out to three of them and all three said, "call Angelo Rose". One of these contacts even said "you absolutely need to call Angelo Rose". We are glad we did. Angelo met with us in his office to quickly ease our anxiety about what might/could happen and in the end, Angelo was very close to spot on with what did happen. Angelo knows the law and what turned out to be equally important, Angelo knows the DA's to work with and his advice along the way has been right on point. We actually liked him so much that we are going to use him as our attorney for various legal documents and hopefully, we never do but if we need a lawyer, we would say our lawyer is Angelo Rose on the spot. If you need a lawyer, you need to call Angelo, hands down!

He kept me up to date on any information he was given and we could feel the love the ENTIRE time! If ANYONE I know EVER asks about a lawyer, Angllo is THE ONE I will ALWAYS recommend!!!! Thank you Angelo!!!!

Angelo represented me in a difficult DWI case. I have never been in any legal situation before and I did not know what to do. He was there to guide me during difficult moments in the case. It was a very stressful time and he probably had his hands full dealing with me, but he was always patient and addressed my concerns. He was able to get the charges reduced. There is no other lawyer that I would go to for representation. Thank you Angelo!

Unfortunately, I had EEOC issues that I could not resolve with my employer. After several weeks of searching for a law firm with the knowledge, ability and resources to take on an EEOC case against a large agency, I heard about Tully Rinckey, PLLC., Allen Shoikhetbrod, my attorney at Tully Rinckey, is phenomenal. Allen is extremely knowledgeable about EEOC and government agency issues. Experienced, honest, professional, detail-oriented, empathetic and warrior are words I would use to describe him. Tully Rinckey is a professional law firm that cares about the individual, not just the numbers. There were no surprise or hidden fees, phone calls and emails were promptly answered. The legal representation and advice provided during my case was well worth the cost. I would definitely recommend Tully Rinckey to family and friends.

I was close to receiving a probationary dismissal from a supervisor with negative re-hire codes as a reprisal for an EEO complaint. Although his behavior was unlawful, I had next to no options and was repeatedly harassed by the legal office to sign a vague resignation contract with an NDA clause that I was not comfortable with. I was referred to Mr. Allen Shoikhetbrod by a friend (who is also an attorney but unable to take the case). Allen immediately took action by contacting the legal office and rewriting the resignation contract to be completely in my favor. I never felt pressured and knew the firm had my best interests at heart. My family and I received the outcome we needed/desired in a period of two weeks! I could not be happier. Thank you!

For the last 8 years, I have been fortunate to be Florina's student, teaching assistant, and program assistant for her courses at Columbia University's High School Program. Florina Altshiler is a dedicated and brilliant mentor and teacher of young legal minds who are interested in trial advocacy, social justice work, and the intersection of law and neuroscience. Florina has constantly found the best ways to bring trial advocacy alive for her students and inspired many, including myself, to pursue careers in the law. She has found and continues to find interesting and engaging ways to introduce the students in her class to the intricacies of law, the legal process, the ways a lawyer builds a case, and how to effectively argue the law in a courtroom.

As a fellow litigator, I had the good fortune of working with Florina several years ago. I’ve since consulted with her on several legal matters. She’s a passionate, intelligent, and persuasive advocate who knows how to relate to judges and juries alike. During my own 20-year career, I’ve only known a few attorneys who work as tirelessly for their clients’ business and individual interests as Florina.

Throughout the process I was able to rely on her being professional and quick to respond. I highly recommend her.

Mr. Smollens is an excellent lawyer. I hired him to represent me in a legal issue with my NYC rent-stabilized apt. He is razor sharp with his area of law and was a fighter for my interests. He was generous with his time and counsel as well. He also broke everything down so I could understand it. In the end, he protected my interests extremely well and I was very happy with the results. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wanted a tenant rights attorney with New York City creds who will fight to the finish for you.

For anyone seeking a great lawyer regarding landlord and tenant matters, I would definitely recommend Steven. I am a tenant in a co op and recently received a notice to cure. Due to the complex nature of the situation, I had to reach out to a few top rated lawyers. Steven was the first to respond. He provided me with a great assessment. I had a follow-up question and he responded that even with more details. Despite the complex nature of my situation, he provided me with a few paths the co op board (landlord) can take and if I have a chance to recover in different scenarios. He is definitely the master of his practice while acting very friendly and helpful. Definitely on top of my list, for tenant landlord issues.

I've been a Romano Law client for several years and I can't say enough great things about my experiences with Domenic and the entire Romano Law team. I'm a retail brand owner and I've had the pleasure of working with Domenic, Shaliz, and Sid on a number of important contracts for my business including a celebrity endorsement deal, a merchandising licensing agreement, a media services agreement, and a stock purchase agreement and I was extremely pleased with the work quality, attentiveness, and outcome in every case. I've always been struck by the level of commitment and care that the entire team had in making sure that my interests were being protected as well as always taking the extra time to walk me through complex legal processes when needed and providing valuable guidance to me. I wholeheartedly recommend Domenic and his team!

Matthew was knowledgeable, accountable and responsive throughout the eviction process: it was comforting to know we had an advocate on our side during a stressful time in our lives, especially since this was our second attorney working on the same case. We can tell that he holds himself to a high set of standards which is not an easy quality to find these days.

15 Jul, 2022 by Alena

Matt did it again for the third time! Always very knowledgeable and gets to the point. He handled our closing with ease and closing day took one hour. We will continue to use him!

Both Matthew and Donna were very helpful in explaining the process and responding to our questions. We were impressed with their knowledge and the fact that the actual closing day took about one hour to complete.

My grandma referred Kevin to me after my car accident. Kevin and Karina were definitely very helpful, attentive, and very hands on my case. I am really appreciative of what was achieved. High recommend Kevin to represent anyone else.

I was in a car accident and had some serious injuries. Thank you to Kevin that helped me throughout this journey. He maximized my settlement and I appreciate that. I 100% recommend him.

26 Jul, 2021 by Dee

Kevin was referred to me by a close friend who said, "she strongly & highly recommends him, he was able to get her a large sum of money by fighting hard!" He met with me immediately, sent out an investigator to take pictures of the accident scene. Kevin's professionalism and client first atmosphere are amazing. He makes sure his staff follows his lead. From promptly returning phone calls, to answering all questions patiently. His reputation is of an attorney who does not back down, his high standards makes him a "SUPER LAWYER!" I can not THANK him enough for fighting so hard, for the best outcome for me. He is truly the BEST attorney!!

I highly recommend Jonathan Meyers for your employment law needs. My suit was in the educational field and involved wrongful termination due to Covid. Jonathan took all of my information and built a solid case which concluded with a satisfactory resolution. He was easy to work with and extremely communicative. I pray I do not have another issue in the future, but if so, I would use him again without reservation.

I cannot emphasize enough the level of expertise, kindness, trust and ability to navigate the endless world of legal issues that Mr. Meyers is able to deconstruct flawlessly. I highly recommend that you look toward no other to be by your side for his guidance in helping you directly when the need for a strong standing counsel should arise. Thank you Jonathan for all that you do.

Mr. Kaufman is an excellent attorney who accomplished my goals in retaining him to address a matter relating to defamation. Even when working with a very difficult opposing counsel, he maintained decorum while also being a zealous and persistent advocate on my behalf. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney in such matters.

03 Apr, 2022 by Anonymous

Attorney Kaufman was excellent in his representation and was very quick and efficient with his response and action concerning our issue. We had a very sensitive issue regarding the posting of information on a website and wanted the posting removed. Attorney Kaufman responded immediately, contacted the appropriate entities and the post was removed within a week to 10-days. I would highly recommend him to any individual or business which has an issue similar to our issue.

Henry represented me nearly three years in one of the most profound nightmares of my life. Not only did I require someone skilled at: drafting, negotiating, understanding nuances and particularities, meeting deadlines, arguing law, filing appeals and all of the other minutiae of litigating; but I needed someone with a clear understanding of a system where wealth, power, politically connected plaintiffs and unusual legal principals guided. I also required someone well respected in the field of defamation law, connected with organizations willing to step in and assist; an attorney who would collaborate with those organizations. My case represented an unusual question of law and few attorneys have the skillset and legal panache to navigate that particular maze. Finally, and perhaps on par with everything else - I needed someone to keep me calm, to believe in what I was trying to convey and to be far more seaworthy than I was within the court system. Henry is that person, simply put - a gentle but skilled media law and defamation giant.

I was living a nightmare for almost four years. I sold my home and the buyers' attorney fell for a scam e-mail, wiring my mortgage payoff to a fraudulent account at my servicing bank. All of the funds were completely withdrawn from the fraudulent account in a few days. I had no idea that any of this happened until the bank deducted a mortgage payment from my account weeks later. After my real estate attorney discovered what happened, the bank was notified of the fraud and told me not to worry, and that they would freeze the account until the situation was rectified. The buyers' attorney refused to take any responsibility, claimed to be a victim, and never notified the buyers that their home was subject to a lien from an unsettled mortgage. The local police and the FBI were notified and investigated and found that the scammers succeeded in getting the funds overseas. Everyone involved in the transaction denied responsibility and then the bank denied saying that they would freeze the account and referred me to collections, destroying my credit and putting my security clearance and livelihood at risk. I hired Tim and PLG to represent me in this matter, and when the bank refused to even discuss what had happed, he filed a civil suit on my behalf. Tim and PLG were relentless in fighting for me and helping me navigate through dealing with my employer as my clearance was in jeopardy. Were it not for Tim, I would have lost my clearance and my job. Unfortunately, there is little recourse for victims of this type of fraud and it is impossible to fight major banks, insurance companies, and attorneys without having the best on your side. I was lucky to have Tim and PLG on my side and I received a favorable outcome. Tim is passionate about what he does, seeking justice for his clients, fighting for "the little guy"! I hope no one ever has to go through what I did, but if you do, you need Parlatore Law Group in your corner!

I’m very satisfied with Gary Healy job! It has been completed perfectly! I am recommending Mr Healy to all people, who needs help, who don’t want waste money and time! Mr Healy and his associates took my case very seriously, I have been told, what my chances are and what to expect! He helped me to resolve the most complicated immigration case that several other lawyers tried to resolve. My citizenship was declined several times by USCIS. Mr Healy makes things move in a year and I’m a citizen now after 14 years. He is a true expert in complex cases, not even mentioning regular cases. You will be in great hands with Mr Healy ; you can rely on him with confidence. Trust his strategy and direction and do exactly what he recommends if you want results. I am so grateful for everything you have done for me sir.

My wife and I hired Gary after my I-485 process (adjusting from K-1 Fiancé to Permanent Resident) was denied by USCIS (owing to an error that USCIS made on my file) where they deemed I had abandoned the Adjustment of Status process. This decision created chaos for me and my wife, and it came as a complete shock (seeing as we had fully complied with all USCIS protocols to date). Before consulting with Gary, it appeared that our options to fix the situation were extremely limited and there was a chance that we might have to restart the entire immigration process again. Needless to say, my wife and I were completely demoralized at the prospect of incurring the the enormous cost and inconvenience of this option. However, upon our first consultation with Gary, he immediately put us at ease and provided alternative solutions to the problem. He explained to us that, in his extensive and lengthy experience, he had encountered similar situations and he was very confident that he could remedy the situation expeditiously, and without incurring enormous cost. Anyone going through the immigration process will know that the rules and deadlines are always changing, making it extremely difficult to know what the exact rules/deadlines are at any given moment. It became clear to us during our engagement with Gary that he was an expert in this area, and he got to work immediately to fix the situation. He was always aware of the rule changes, deadlines, and updates to the law. Gary stayed in regular contact with us, constantly updating us on the status of the various applications made and all contact with USCIS. Gary was able to resolve the matter within a matter of weeks (when my wife and I were expecting many months, if not a year, for some sort of sensible resolution). In early April we feared the worst, 6 weeks later (as a result of Gary's work) USCIS reopened our case, and yesterday, my wife and I attended my Adjustment of Status interview. In the interview, the immigration officer explicitly referring to Gary's petitions to USCIS on my behalf as being enormously persuasive in explaining our predicament, approved my Adjustment of Status application and granted me Permanent Residency . We are absolutely thrilled with the result. Not alone was Gary able to get our case reopened within 6 weeks, but he also managed to convince USCIS that our case needed to be dealt with immediately. As a result, I am now a permanent resident 11 weeks after engaging Gary's services. I cannot recommend Gary highly enough!

Having used a number of other reputable immigration lawyers within the DC area with little success, Mr Healy was able to take on my case and ensure a successful result first time round, no questions asked. Providing a comprehensive and full proof application and meeting the strict criteria for for an alien with extra ordinary ability in the arts, sciences etc (o1b), Gary and his team provided consultation and support leading into the application around the clock. He explained each part of the process while also providing me with reassurance along the way at what can be a difficult and stressful time. Mr Healys diligent, thorough and no nonsense approach as well as his unique experience and expertise produces results. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking at the United States as the next stage of their career.

My wife and I sincerely appreciated and services of Diana Soldano for her efforts from the inception of our contract with your firm through the completion of the sale of our coop. She specifically articulated all our inquiries succinctly and patiently and provided recommendations on how to proceed with the initial negotiations between my family and the purchaser of the coop. Joe Varvara provided and exceptional service stepping up to the plate to represent us at the closing of the coop. He came into the boardroom prepared (on little notice) and with all the requisite documentation and answered all questions from the coop representative, the purchaser's bank representative, and the purchaser's attorney. He did an amazing job and my wife and I are sincerely appreciative of his efforts. Job well done.

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.

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.
