I have sought Chip's legal counsel on many occasions; primarily business related. However, he has helped with family and estate concerns as well. His professionalism, expertise, kindness, and expediency is what we all hope for in the professionals we hire. He is a jewel in the legal sphere and I feel quite fortunate to have him as my legal counsel.

Alex Coletrane did an amazing job handling all my affairs regarding my father's estate. His knowledge, experience, and professional manner made a very difficult time much easier. I did not have to worry about any paper work or legal issues Mr. Coletrane had everything prepared for me. He is compassionate and so is his staff. Any questions or concerns I had were answered immediately and his guidance was extremely helpful. He was by my side the entire time and still checks in to see if I am ok. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

Around 2020, I discovered that I had somehow been declared deceased. This was rather strange, because I certainly did not feel decreased. This had many negative consequences, particularly on my credit reports.
I did research on the best way to deal with this and it was clear that I needed a lawyer. I contacted a couple who weren't responsive, then I was fortunate enough to have found Craig
Marchiando of Consumer Litigation Associates. Craig is on the opposite side of the country from me, but everything was handled perfectly by phone and email, with help from his legal assistant, Sydnee Shirley and senior paralegal, Vicki Crissman.
Craig did an excellent job of keeping my expectations realistic and keeping me updated when necessary, in what is a LONG process, by its very nature.
I am limited in what I can say due to the terms of my non-disclosure agreement, but I will say that Craig went far beyond ANY realistic expectations in my particular case and I was DELIGHTED with the outcome.

I was rear ended by a tractor trailer while I was stopped at a red light. The trouble was that I was in a loaner car from my dealership because my car was being serviced. After the hospital and doctors visits, I had to deal with insurance company after insurance company. Each one denied responsibility because I wasn't in my own car. I had no idea what to do and my health insurance wasn't going to cover my physical therapy.
Then, I hired Mr. Woodhouse. He told me to concentrate on healing, follow my doctor's orders, and that he would take care of the rest. That's real peace of mind.
Not only did he deliver on his promises, but he kept me in the loop though the whole process. He got the insurance company to admit fault and then got me more money than I ever thought possible. He even negotiated my medical bills from physical therapy! And everything was all taken care of within a few months.
I wouldn't hesitate to hire Mr. Woodhouse again. He did a great job with my claim and is a great attorney. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

Mr. Reichle has done an excellent job helping me protect my property rights from local County government encroachment. He and his staff are very available and responsive. Documents are thorough and to the point containing highly relevant case law citations. His oral presentations in front of the court effectively portrayed our legal position and rebutted the opposition.
Mr. Reichle is my choice to represent our interests in the future.

I hired George to represent my teenager after a traffic accident. I have been an attorney for over 20 years -- I specialize in complex criminal litigation. I know a skilled litigator when I see one. Mr. Gorman fearlessly took a difficult set of facts and convinced the judge to give us a good outcome. George is without a doubt a skilled litigator. He also provided excellent personalized service, listened carefully to his client (and parents) and knew exactly how to handle the case. Because of George's skilled advocacy, the case turned out better than we expected. I most definitely recommend Mr. Gorman.

George helped our family with the estate of our deceased brother and we obtained the necessary paperwork to have Power of Attorney for our mother. George met with us almost immediately upon calling and was quick in his responses thereafter. Our time in his office was also quick and efficient. After leaving town, our services continued with George electronically and this proved to be very easy and efficient as well. I highly recommend George for estate planning and any other relevant needs you may have. Thanks George, our family really appreciated your professionalism and services! Sincerely, The Family of Mark P.

We hired George to represent us for a matter that was extremely important for us to get resolved. Compared to other attorneys I have spoken to, George differentiated himself in our first conversation and he remained the same thoughtful attorney through the years we used George.
George is very knowledgeable, but he isn’t afraid to do the extra work when it comes to research or double checking the current train of thought. He also listens and is not dismissive of your input. I think these are two incredibly important qualities.
But most importantly, we found George to be very thoughtful about not only how to proceed legally, but also in the way he considered us and our family.
We are very happy with our representation from George, and we are very appreciative of the outcome that George got us. I wouldn’t hesitate to use George again for any matter and he would also be my first recommendation to any friend or family member that needed an attorney’s assistance, which I do not say lightly.

Hanger Law was quick and efficient during the closing process. In particular, Jeana McMurray was very helpful to me. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer questions and when needed, offer her professional advice. This meant a great deal to me. She moved thru all of the closing documents in a quick and thorough way. The receptionist who first greets you was very kind, helpful and always gave me a bottled water to quinch my thirst! I thank Sarah Spriggle for getting all required documents to me for signature as soon as possible. I also appreciate her and Jeana keeping their calendar available for a quicker closing date and responding to the emails in a very timely manner. Thanks

I think this attorney is a genuine expert in his field. My employer’s insurance company denied benefits to me multiple times for multiple reasons. Mr. Walker has successfully argued each case. He has helped me receive continuing benefits for the full cost of each medical treatment that was recommended by my doctors. He did this instead of settling my case for an amount that would not have covered all of my expenses. I thank Mr. Walker and his expert understanding for each success in court.

Complete waste of money, almost cost me the most important piece of my life (my children). I would literally do EVERYTHING for the case. EVERYTHING. All she had to do was present it and she couldn't even do that right. I had to fire her mid court hearing it was that bad and the judge wouldn't let me speak because "I hired an attorney to speak for me"
The ONLY positive thing I can say about working with her is that I became so knowledgeable and good at the legal system, I ended up getting a scholarship to attend law school.

I have dealt with damages from, trying to get rid of and be done with, this sorry excuse of an attorney. She was highly unprofessional during my few dealings with her, discussing other cases by name in front of me, using profanity during meetings, NEVER returning calls herself...the list goes on.
I received multiple calls from her office during which I was told I needed to track down and obtain this document or the other. I would also be instructed that *I* needed to pay for however many copies of each that she required (even though they would have been free had her office done so) and then bring them into her. If it wasn't documents she wanted, it was for me to make phone calls to various professionals. Now, I'm fairly sure that the hard come by cash I had paid her was so that SHE would be handling all this. All said and done, there was not one single thing she did in any legal capacity to further my case AT ALL. In all truth I feel her actions, or I should say, her lack of appropriate action, ANY action, caused significant damage to the incredibly important matter I entrusted her with.

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.
