Geoff is a great attorney. He was honest and helpful throughout the whole process. Easy to get in touch with, great communicator, and even helped me get more for my totaled car. I had never been in a major accident before, so this was all new and I’m so glad I worked with him.

Definitely recommend Geoff! Immediately felt like we were talking with a friend/family member. He guided us through legalities behind our accident and advised us like a friend would. He truly has our backs! Not at one point did we feel like we were speaking with an attorney, but rather someone who cares about our wellbeing and wants to protect us from the situation. Can’t recommend him enough!

Wow, anyone need divorce attorney? Checkout Richard Sullivan. My spouse and attorney was doing everything possible to delay and obstruct the divorce process. After 3 years and trying couple attorneys, I found Mr Sullivan. He was the only one who got my case moving forward and to the end I noticed that some attorneys are just pushing papers, which is great for an easy-going divorce. However, reaching a settlement it’s always within your control. And I play that no one has to go through what I have. But if you have, or just want to avoid it, give Sullivan Law and associates a call. They continued to negotiate up to the last day, to avoid a trial and settle out of court. But Richard Sullivan is a trial attorney and sometimes you need a trial attorney to avoid a trial. Live well, and be true

Through the years I have used Richard Rudolph's legal expertise for many of my legal needs. One of the most important has been my Living Trust. Richard understood what I wanted, advised me and walked me through the process. What really made me feel comfortable about working with Richard was when he said, if any of the people noted in the trust have questions they should always feel comfortable in calling him. He would always be available for them.

When looking for a law firm to represent our east coast business in a lawsuit against it in LA, we were looking for a smaller, highly skilled firm to defend our business. We were impressed by the recommendations we found for Klein & Wilson, and we were not disappointed. Mike LeBoff and Brian Kelly showed themselves to be very skilled and practical litigation attorneys who provided stellar service in getting the claim dismissed. They also were very mindful in working to keep fees under control.

First off I want to say that I feel very blessed that I was recommended to Amy, I have a Special Needs Trust that my parents left me when they died .In the Estate & Will they named my sister Susan as the Trustee of my SNT, to make a long story short my sister was not impartial with me and we both had conflicts of interest. A really good friend of mine listened to my problems and immediately referred me to Amy and my life has dramatically been stress free ever since. I agree that the probate court doesn't move fast but Amy was always consistent in replying to my emails in a timely manner. She has been Unbelievably Transparent with her billing even though this is a SNT and I am a Sole Beneficiary. I really admire the level of respect and honesty she gives me. If anyone is going through a similar situation I highly recommend Amy. The cost of her services are invaluable.

Let me start by saying that Mr. Marcus saved my life. I was falsely accused and charged with misdemeanor (Battery). I had hired 2 different attorneys and none of them helped me to prove my innocence. God lead me to Mr. Marcus and he immediately accepted my case. I knew that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I was feeling like my world was falling apart, he helped me regain a sense of peace and he was always there for me, he treated me like family and made me feel secure. Mr. Marcus has a firm understanding of the law and how the system works. He is very knowledgeable in his profession. He was entirely compassionate during this difficult time. Mr. Marcus is truly a lawyer you can count on, I can definitely say that he is an exceptional attorney, who goes above and beyond for his clients. He is professional, trustworthy, and extremely diligent. Mr. Marcus is the epitome of what you call a "GENTLEMAN Lawyer." He is the perfect balance of kindness, professionalism and humanity at its finest. He advocates for me with veracity, truth and an untiring meticulousness to doing the BEST work for me. Mr. Marcus sees not just me, but he also SEES the family/loved ones that stand behind the accused... he advocates compassionately and UNTIRINGLY for ALL parties affected by tragic events. And, has the wisdom to work diplomatically and firmly with the opposing party. There is a RESPECT that emanates and is INNATE to Attorney Anthony Marcus. In a world gone mad and blinded by the darkness of humanity, HE is the beacon of hope, respect and humanity for all. If you are looking for exceptional representation I would totally recommend this real man. I would recommend Mr. Marcus to any and everyone! His prices are reasonable and he will fight for you. MR. MARCUS DISMISSED MY CASE AFTER 20 MINUTES WITH DA NEGOTIATION. He stayed true to his word and got my entire case dismissed for about a year I was really stressed couldn't really live life thinking the worst. Thank you Mr. Marcus for your unwavering dedication to my cause. You are "An Angel in disguise." You are BLESSING. And, I assure you, that we will pay your infinite kindness FORWARD. Thank you & God bless you to keep fighting the good fight. I’m eternally grateful

Dimitri Gross came highly recommended and it was clear to me why, after I had the pleasure to work with him on what I consider a difficult case. A long-time customer of mine had become extremely delinquent and was refusing to bring their account to balance. After experiencing several months of futility, with a balance owing in the high six figures, I sought Dimitri’s help. Dimitri explained in plain English the options I had and how a lawsuit would proceed. He was very fair and reasonable with his costs and retainer arrangement. He was transparent in his communications with the opposing side and I felt like I was an integral part of the process from beginning to end. It was obvious to me that Dimitri makes it a practice to put himself in his client’s shoes and that he truly cares about those with whom he works. I also very much appreciated Dimitri’s prompt responses and updates throughout the entire process. With his outstanding efforts over a five-month period, Dimitri was able to recover 100% of the sizeable dollar amount owed to me by my customer, plus interest and all attorney fees. I could not have wished for a better outcome. Recovering these funds was certainly a goal, but with the questionable behavior of the customer over many months, there was never a guarantee that I would be able to recover the entire amount. So, needless to say, I was thrilled with the outcome. Dimitri is thoroughly professional, efficient, honest, and a good human being. Truly a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Dimitri, without question, to any individual or organization seeking legal representation by an attorney who proves in his performance that he is at the top of his profession.

His knowledge of the law, unmatched research and preparation, and specific recommendations allowed us to efficiently focus on key issues and avoid obstructions in the case.

He was the most gracious, well mannered attorney I've spoken to. I'm a Paralegal and have a pending probate case so that says a lot! Aside from his excellent manner and professionalism, the guy knows his stuff. I have been through five (thought it was only 3:) probate attorneys for the last 9 years and Mr. Hankin gave me information that was pivotal to the success of my case; information that I should have already been told.

I recently posted a review of this attorney but my review may have been premature, as we were not yet finished completing our exchanges. Since my earlier review Mr. Hankin wrote to me again. He shed tremendous light on the one pressing question that baffled me, and he did so in a professional manner. My initial aim was to utilize his services in the Appellate Courts, but it appears my case lacks the "teeth" for a successful appeal. If that were not my unfortunate predicament I'd most assuredly hire Mr. Hankin. Sometimes the devil is in the details. He's a details oriented attorney who takes the time to explain matters to his clients and prospective clients. I can't speak to other areas of his law practice, but for anything pertaining to California Trusts or Probate matters he's the "go-to" attorney!

Stephen Hammers was a referral from another lawyer who could not represent my case, and I approached hiring Steve with some anxiety because I had always applied the skills of the referring lawyer over the past many years. I had no previous knowledge of Steve's work, and hoped that this referral was a solid recommendation. My matter was involved, and the case appeared to be risky. In fact, the referring lawyer (my long time friend) advised me that I stood little chance of prevailing. All that I knew was that I was in the right, and that a good lawyer might be able to prevail. Steve was cautious about giving me any hope at first, but he could see clear pathways to defeating the defendants. He applied his boundless energy to the intellect and resourcefulness that has made him such a superstar in Orange County, and we worked together in an efficient yet highly effective manner to hone the case. His persistence along certain lines of advice that at times were lost on me became invaluable to the direction that the case took, and we developed a momentum that was itself very effective for our success. While we spent time and effort on certain details, Steve never appeared to delay nor overstudy any point. At no time did I ever have the slightest doubt that he had my best interests as his own, and that he was keeping the billing as low as practicable without creating any new difficulties. He predicted a wide variety of events which all came to pass as he described, and portrayed undesirable outcomes that we avoided altogether largely because of how well he articulated their potential negative impacts to me. He kept or improved the calendar originally set, and maintained in his keen mind each item of concern and advantage without the level of discussion that I had anticipated. In fact, he demonstrated extraordinary capacity to divine the intentions and thought patterns of each defendant, whom he never met, better than I ever could and I had known each for over ten years. We prevailed in what I term a "100% victory" over the defendants. Steve took it all in stride, and yet I cannot ever say enough to express my appreciation of his character, his professionalism, his friendship to me during rough periods, and his overall value to the legal profession. He is what ANY client would hope for when life events require legal counsel or representation. I am not a litigious individual, but he was right there when I needed the right lawyer, and I am forever grateful to him and the staff that he has deservedly assembled around him. He is an inspiration to me, and I am quite certain that he will continue to serve as an inspiration to those who need the best lawyer! He is a superb human being, and I am able to enjoy my life day by day going forward simply because of his formidable skills and sharp focus as my lawyer when I needed his help.

We reside in New Jersey and had an issue with a California rehabilitation facility that refused to appropriately refund to us a large amount of money. Although the facility was horrible, we did not want to get into a lawsuit with them, we just wanted our refund. Mr. Hammers listened to our situation, acted quickly and appropriately on our behalf, and resolved the matter just as we had hoped. We found he and his staff a pleasure to work with, always responding to our inquiries and asking our opinions on how we wished to proceed. We believe that Mr. Hammers' excellent reputation was why our situation was settled quickly, the opposing counsel simply did not want to battle him in court. The attorney fees charged were explained to us up front, and the fees were fair and accurate. We knew nothing about attorneys in California. Stephen G. Hammers was recommended to us from a friend of a friend, and we got lucky. I was a legal secretary for many years, and my husband and I have had to deal with a few legal issues over the years, and I can honestly say that Stephen G. Hammers was one of the best attorneys with whom we have ever worked. If you need a lawyer in California, in our experience, Mr. Hammers is the best, and if he does not handle whatever type of law you need, I would completely trust his recommendations. We never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Hammers in person, but from our phone conversations and correspondence I would have to say he just seemed like a really great guy!

After charging with a DUI, I searched for a lawyer that I can trust and rely on to defend me. I stumble on the Anthony Marcus Law Firm on Yelp. I was really amazed with the good reviews I was reading about attorney Marcus. I then went to other links that show more outstanding reviews. I, there and then decided to contact him, the reviews were really accurate, he was friendly, patient and explained all the steps of navigating the court regarding my case. I meet with him afterward. Immediately, I observed his confident and his knowledge of the law. He truly changed my anxiety to calmness. Not only he did what he said he will do, he is affordable. He gave me a discount after he initially gave me a good price compare to other attorneys’ quotes. When he appeared in court, Mr. Marcus immediately communicated with the DA and the court and got me a good deal from the court with no jail time even though my case involved property damages to others. I recommend him to my friend and he also was very accommodating. I highly recommend this honest and genuine lawyer to anyone in need of effective representation.

I found Mr. Morasse through Avvo, and I am thankful that I did. I have talked several other real estate lawyers regarding my issue. I found him to be more knowledgeable, competent and responsive than others. He listened to me patiently over the phone and answered all of my questions. I didn't feel rushed to ask him questions. He made me feel that he is a very genuine person who cares about his client. I STRONGLY recommend Steve Morasse for any real estate issues you have.

I located Mr. Morasse through Avvo, and I am thankful that I did. He is a terrific lawyer, and he saved us a lot of trouble. I contacted Mr. Morasse on Friday and he got the lawsuit filed against me dismissed on Monday. He was smart, easy to work with and his rates were very reasonable. I would strongly recommend him. He was able to solve a very serious issue for us fast and he really cared about us.

He works exceedingly harder than the lot of lawyers out there and is an expert. He has an admirable and fun sense of humor that we enjoyed throughout his representation of us. My husband is on Active Duty in the military and I am a veteran. We were blessed to find Steve on an emergency recommendation from our valued new realtor. Our case was in shambles from a previous lawyer and Steve was kind enough to not only take it over mid swing and repair it, but he was also able to settle everything out of court. He rescued us from being stuck with a full mortgage on an enlisted military salary for an uninhabitable home. He is wise, forthright, ethical and a champion. He is a one of a kind lawyer.

I just wanted to profusely thank Steve Fink for helping my client through a very sticky real estate situation!!! He is amazing & I highly recommend him :) Last week, I had a seller deny an inspector access to his property, which caused my buyer to be late on her closing. The seller threatened to cancel the escrow and keep the buyer's deposit, while he knew the reason we could not close was because the inspector was not allowed back in. I called CAR legal, and was beyond disappointed when they told me there was nothing that could be done past day 17 to force a seller allow additional inspections, even if they were follow up. Seriously??? Nothing??!! In desperation I went to Steve because I knew this was not fair, he has dealt with thousands of contracts, and he would have an angle. Within hours, Steve had a letter beautifully written and emailed to the stubborn seller. The next day the seller let the inspector in (it was over an FHA loan requirement for smoke detectors in every bedroom of all things!) and the buyer was able to get her loan funded. I gave her the keys today, and this is all thanks to Steve's knowledge and quick action to help a deserving person in need. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

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?
    While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
