Brian is probably the only lawyer in Asheville, who is at his desk past 4:30pm on a Friday! (5:30). Brian talked with me over the phone and reviewed my file in person. He is straight forward and gets to the bottom line. I am grateful for his time to walk me through my next steps.

28 Mar, 2022 by Elizabeth

In May if 2019, I was in a car accident where I was T-boned by someone who ran a stop sign. I was referred to Brian by a close friend and began the process of filing a complaint against the opposing insurance company for the horrendously low settlement offer I received from them. Coming into this case, I was naive and unaware of the legal processes involved in such an endeavor. I thought, “Well the driver admitted fault, the damage is recorded, this will be easy”. I had absolutely no idea that my accident would have become such a battle to receive money lost. And that battle was fought tooth and nail by Brian and his team for me. We were in the middle of this process when the pandemic hit, which added another layer of complications and delays to everything. It took almost 3 years to get to the end of this settlement. Brian and Jenna, whom I worked with the most personally, were kind and patient with my unending questions, compassionate with my frequent emotional meltdowns, and kept me in the loop with my case regularly, knowing how much stress it was bringing me in my personal life, I didn’t feel in the dark. Brian had even come in on his day off just to meet with me and hear me cry about how unfair everything was. That’s a patient man. He wasn’t scared to tell me the truth of the arduous process we were in, even if I didn’t want to accept it, something I appreciated a lot. Anytime I had to come into the office, I was met warmly by Jenna, who always remembered me and my case. It never felt like a stuffy or cold lawyers office. I even met another individual who worked on my case behind the scenes that I was unaware of, he was very kind and happy to meet me, which made me feel that much more secure knowing Brian’s team was truly invested in my case. I never felt like I was just another number or just a client. I felt like Brian and Jenna genuinely cared about me as a person, they were truly fighting for me and my case. And to be quite candid, I believe they gave me more time and effort than they ever got compensated for after everything was said and done. But that didn’t stop them from treating me like family. Brian never stopped fighting for me even when we knew I wasn’t going to receive what we hoped I would. I have learned through this process, the system is absolutely flawed, ugly, unfair, and will make you insane. That is just the truth. I was a little fish in an ocean of sharks. The system isn’t set up for us. You ***need*** someone like Brian, like Jenna, who are aware of those flaws, and are still willing to go in and fight an uphill battle for you, which is exactly what they did for me. So, thank you Brian, Jenna, and the whole Brian Elston Law Firm, for staying grounded, staying connected, and staying human in such an exploitive world. You are gems! I 100% recommend this business.

I hired Brian over a year ago and not only is he a really nice man, he is a great attorney. I would recommend him to anyone out there needing a helping hand.

Amanda and her firm helped me out with the resolution I was looking for. She guided me in the right direction and kept me updated with the progress until the issue was resolved. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone. Thank You so much!

07 Feb, 2022 by Grace

Amanda was there for me every step of the way when I had to be a witness in court. She checked in on me, and praised me for my strength. I felt validated with her, and didn’t ever have to question if she believed me or not. Extremely professional and willing to fight for me. It was a very scary time for me, but she made me have confidence and made me keep fighting for what was right. Still to this day if I have a quick question, she makes herself available as soon as she can. If I could give her more stars I would. Knows her way around the Legal system. I am very thankful I was referred to her and will absolutely use her again if I ever need to. I wish she was an expert in all areas of law, because I would probably use her for anything legal related. However, she is able to refer you to someone if necessary. It’s nice to have someone actually listen. Thank you so much, Amanda!! I will forever be grateful for you.

This was uncharted territory for me but Miss Muli walked me through the process gently and kindly and ensured everything went smoothly I could not thank them enough! Very pleased.

I picked up William on a UBER ride and he was so cool ! He Loves practicing Law and was more then willing to advise me with my pressing Legal Questions.( I actually got a Free Consultation and ultimately a awesome Attorney out of that ride). I asked for a business card. I'm getting a Divorce and my Wife was Suing me so I contacted William and even though Family Law is not his preference he said sure he would help me. The Case is currently active but I feel safe my interests are protected. William is that first Attorney I ever had that you can call up and he will answers and I'm like What's up Man ? Did you hear anything about my case. Then he will talk to you and here you out that's the difference with him. Tell him everything about you're case. Things you think might now matter may under the Law. If you're Hiring a Attorney to help you with YOUR case he's the best to work with. Be proactive and help him get all the information he needs to handle the Law end. He is Very confident and Smart as I remember him telling me he can handle and case , County , State , Federal , whatever he know exactly what to do. In my case as I helped him get all the Paperwork for my case he made positive Connections with everyone involved in my case. This Approach was Brilliant and their are all different types of Attorneys but William will tell you he takes on hard cases to figure out . Who does that ? He did win Attorney of the Year . Ask him about it. Congratulations !

Spoke with William, he made everything so calm. I had a problem and he was right there with with me to fix the problem! I'm definitely satisfied and would recommend William or anyone working with him too definitely contact!

William Pruden is who you want to have representing you on all levels. I prayed and asked God for a Lawyer full of Wisdom, kind and trustworthy. Pruden is all of that and that and then some.

I needed a criminal defense lawyer in Charlotte, NC and Mr. Viser was passionate about fighting for me. I would highly recommend anyone needing an aggressive defense attorney in Charlotte use this attorney. Regardless of your situation Mr. Viser is knowledgable, understanding and is someone I would highly recommend. My charge was dismissed thanks to his help.

10 Mar, 2011 by Mike

I have dealt with Mr. Viser's firm for many years but only about a year ago did I first have interaction with Casey Viser. While this first situation only involved a speeding ticket (however, my citation was for speeding in excess of 20 mph in the city) Casey has handled this potentially problematic citation with great care and expertise. When I had a far more serious situation arise with one of my children involving more than traffic court, I had no hesitation to ask Casey to handle this as well and watching the process unfold was impressive. Casey Viser is a very capable lawyer - hardworking, very bright and diligent. I recently referred a friend in need of a very good attorney and that friend has thanked me several times for the introduction.

07 Mar, 2011 by Ryan

Casey has been a loyal attorney to me and many members of my family throughout the majority of his practice. He handled one of my first traffic tickets, and I never felt the need to look elsewhere for an attorney in the Charlotte area. My experience working with Casey throughout high school and the beginning of college is one of the factors I can attribute to my current attendance of law school. He kept me well informed of what was going on at all times (all the while winning cases in my favor). Thanks for all the good work, Casey.

Brad is an excellent attorney! He is very knowledgeable and honest. He does an outstanding job and stays in contact to let you know what is going on right away. I never had to wait days for a return call and he was also available go speak with on short notice. He truly cares about his job.

12 Jun, 2015 by Sandy

On May 15, 2015 I was served with a child custody suit concerning my adopted grandchild. I was to appear in a NC court on May 21, 2015. I live in Missouri. I found Brad Schulz on the NC Bar Assoc website. Acting on blind faith, I hired Brad and his staff. He went to work immediately requesting copies of information I forgot existed. Through phone conversations he prepared my case. On May 21st he represented me so I didn't have to travel to NC. Working together through today's amazing technology, Brad won that custody case. Either Brad or his assistant, Catherine, were in contact with me at least every other day, if not every day. Because of family dynamics involved, I feel my life was restored. I'll forever be grateful to two people I never met in person, however, they felt like old friends.

Kris has been an exceptional lawyer guiding me through many aspects of my divorce process. During my selection process Kris quickly distinguished himself as someone who cared about coming to the best possible outcome based on the circumstances of the case and his personal moral and ethical values and believes. Kris has throughout the whole process fought for my best interests without ever compromising his ethical standards. He diligently pushed for a collaborative approach trying to achieve win/win scenarios for all involved. He tried his best to keep our divorce outside the courtroom and attempted to guide us to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. When eventually we ended up having to go to court, he came with clear and focused strategies for each court date. Kris was able to give me guidance based on his experience working with other families going through similar challenges, his knowledge of the court system and cases like ours, his deep knowledge of the law, and his experience in working with other stakeholders in family law. Kris has throughout the entire process been very professional while always understanding the human aspects of the challenges we were facing and has gone out of his way to accommodate my needs. With respect to all legal fees and billing, Kris has continuously informed me of benefits, risks, and costs of every aspect of our approach so I could make informed decisions. All billing by Kris and his team has been very fair and he has always been considerate of containing my costs where it was possible and made sense. I have a deep appreciations for Kris both on a personal and professional level. I would highly recommend Kris to anyone going through a separation and who doesn’t want to lose their sanity or integrity in the process.

10 Jul, 2018 by Anna

Kris Hilscher is a fantastic example of what every attorney should be. He's strategic, brilliant, and cares deeply about the individual needs of each client, both during and after separation/divorce. His calm and collected demeanor, wisdom, and experience supported me in every way possible through my divorce.

15 Nov, 2017 by Albert

Kris served me very well during my custody trial. He is very knowledgeable about the system, procedure and law. He's also a very strategic planner and the ultimate ethical professional. In the end, his level headed and reassuring demeanor proved very valuable in getting me justice for my family. I would unequivocally recommend Kris for anyone seeking legal representation in the often contentious realm of family law.

We have needed to update our will for some time. Shea was quite insighful, prompt, and professional in reviewing our old will and advising us in developing a new one. I feel comfortable in recommending him to anyone.

30 Aug, 2014 by Amanda

Shea recently helped me to obtain an LLC for my business. He took the time to educate me about my choices and made it super simple. Moreover, I did not have to worry about what he might end up charging me as he had a flat fee. After we met, Shea took my documents directly to the agency to be filed, and in less than two weeks, I was a proud owner of my LLC. He was quick and effective while maintaining a professional yet personable manner. I would highly recommend Shea for all of your business needs!

Shea was a great help with a bad DUI case. He believed in my son and always was there to answer questions. His response was extremely quick if a message was left. He was very honest and let me know the best and worse case scenario instead of just assuming the best would happen. He ended up getting the whole charge dismissed in court and I could not be happier. Thank You Shea!

Mr. Adler recently assisted me with an overdue maintenance request to my landlord/property management company for which he exceeded all expectations. He was able to resolve the maintenance issue immediately and successfully negotiate a rent abatement. Mr. Adler and his entire staff were courteous, attentive, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. I was promptly informed about any updates and presented with all available options and possible outcomes when making decisions. I've never had the need for an attorney but have no doubt that in the future...this is my man! So, if you ever have to go to battle, I would recommend having Derek Adler on the front line as victory will surely be yours:-)Thanks Derek!!!

Derek helped me with a lawsuit earlier this year and I cannot say enough about how wonderful he was.

I found Michael Harman to very knowlegeable in the service I asked him to perform. After being fired from my employer he successfully navigated a sizeable settlement for me in as little as a couple months timeframe from start to finish. I found him to be extremely patient with every question / concern that I had and he was also the same but firm with the attorney firm that my firmer employer hired. Worth every penny that I spent for his services. I recouped way more in the settlement than I thought I would and that I invested. Also when inquired on another issue Michael honestly turned down my request as the chances for success were minimal and he did not want me to pay to engage. I currenly have another question to ask his assistance with and I whole heartedly recommend you to seek out Michael Harman's services.

I had been working through a divorce, thinking that we would not need a lawyer as we were attempting to split as amicable as a couple could in this day. Unfortunately, I think the court system frowns on Pro Se divorces and we found ourselves seeking an attorney to assist us through the nuances and legal-speak. Brad helped us migrate towards a clear path, cleared the way through some of the hurdles I had inadvertently constructed and actually shaved some of our final costs down from some of the leg-work I was able to successfully navigate. He was a pleasure to work with, did what he said and completed what he pursued for both myself and my ex-spouse. I would recommend him to family and friends and, should the need arise for legal assistance, will continue to pursue his services.

27 Jul, 2022 by Morris lee

We found ourselves in need of an attorney out of state on very short notice. Thankfully, Brad worked us in. In the couple of days he had to prepare, not only did he surpass all expectations, he showed us that he wasn't in this for just the money...he truly cares and loves his job!! He was invested from the start and knew exactly what we needed. Brad was very honest and not once did we have any doubt in his abilities. You can't lose when someone who is invested in you, but smarter ( 😉), is fighting for you. No matter what the outcome. If ever we need a NC attorney again, it will be Brad.

Attorney Doyle accepted my case from another county and did an excellent job litigating it. He advocated with integrity and kept me updated in a professional manner. When I inquired about another matter, his candid advice and guidance was compassionate and honest. My wife and I would highly recommend his services.

28 Jul, 2020 by Stephanie

My company is in another state but needed representation in NC. I researched online before deciding to go with The Doyle Law Offices and do not regret it. He made everything simple and easy for me to handle from remote and kept me in the loop throughout the case. He gave great insight during the case and I had a favorable resolution to my issue. His office staff were always pleasant to speak with and I always felt I was a priority. My case involved a few out of state entities and he was able to muddle through the muck of a multi-state issue fairly easily and did his best to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. He laid out the options and costs of each but did not attempt to sway me toward the most profitable option for him. He simply provided his insights and allowed me to make the best choice for my organizations goals. 10/10 would use again if needed.

I was appointed administrator of my fathers estate having to deal with an unruly younger sibling. I went through two attorneys in my county only to find out that it is a "good ole boys club" I felt I had to get an attorney outside of my area. I contacted several and decided to give Mr. Doyle a shot. I drove two hours to meet him. He listened to what I had to say. Within a few days he contacted me and said he was willing to help me. This is the most positive feeling that I had in over two years of trying to settle the estate. The man will do exactly what he tells you he will do. I have nothing at all negative to say about my experience with attorney Doyle. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal council. If you are looking for someone that is going to work for you, he will feel you out and if he decides you are worthy of his services, he will do his very best to bring a resolution to your problem. In closing, I can honestly say this, I hope I never have to obtain the services of an attorney as long as I live, but if I do I will be giving Hank Doyle a call.

I needed some legal advice regarding setting up my handmade business. Chase Wells is a talented artist who sells his graffiti art in a local gallery, so I felt he would understand my needs.

I feel very confident to move forward with the consultation and legal advice he gave me.

This is the first time I've ever had to secure an attorney for legal assistance and I'm so glad Google lead me to Mr. Nutt. I am currently obtaining my graduate degree and had contract trouble with a fairly large and well-known organization. I would be financially ruined if I hadn't found Mr. Nutt. I tried to handle my problem alone, but was getting nowhere. As soon as he stepped in, everything changed. He was incredible from consultation through the entire process. Neither of us anticipated him being able to resolve this issue so promptly or easily, but he is so efficient and knowledgeable. I hope to not need such help again, but if ever in the future I require any legal counseling, I won't think twice about reaching out to Mr. Nutt and his firm.

I was recovering from a number of health issues, including breast and uterine cancer, when my husband and I experienced a leaking window after Hurricane Florence. During that repair, we discovered that our brand new retirement home was rotting from the inside out. Some of the plywood inside our walls was rotting, as were some of the beams that supported the structure of our home. Disheartened, we reached out to Kyle Nutt, who was representing a neighbor who had had similar problems with the same builder. If you have to go through something like this, Kyle Nutt Is your guy. Kyle is a gifted attorney and negotiator. I can’t imagine getting through these last few years without him. From the beginning of what was an exhausting and emotional multi-year process, Kyle has embodied professionalism, calm, reassurance, legal brilliance, energy, and thoroughness. Kyle and his staff made what was surely one of the most difficult times of our lives bearable. To begin, he explained the litigation process in a clear and straightforward way, spelling out our options and making recommendations on how to move forward. This was important, as my husband and I had never been involved in a lawsuit before and were nervous about the process. We spent an entire year working with the forensic structural engineer that Kyle recommended (she was amazing) and our new construction company to find everything we could that was wrong with our home to document and fix it. We were fortunate to be able to begin reconstruction prior to our lawsuit, but the cost was so great that we felt we had no option other than to sue. During that time and over the next year, Kyle helped us collect all relevant documents that we would need to argue our case for reimbursement, including emails, texts, contracts, and so forth. While going through these two years was not fun, Kyle’s sense of humor, ability to explain each step, and efficient process kept us sane. He and his staff lessened the burden as much as they could and guided us through each step. When the time came for depositions, which went on for several months, he knew both of us well enough to give us sound advice and hold our hands through the process. While I am glad that we were able to resolve our case, if that had not happened, we would have had total faith in Kyle to represent us in court and would have been optimistic about achieving a fair final outcome. Hopefully, this is our first and last lawsuit. While we will never recover those two years of our lives and hope that no one else has to find themselves in this type of situation, if you do, there is no one better to work with than Kyle Nutt. Until Kyle, I viewed attorneys as a necessary evil who were mostly for estate planning. But Kyle has turned my whole view of lawyers around. We give him our highest recommendation and compete vote of confidence.

"I hired John as outside and general counsel for a nationwide company I founded and managed, successfully defending the interests in lawsuits, a federal matter, intellectual property rights, drafting/enforcing contracts, insuring regulatory compliance, legal litigation, strategic advice and all other legal needs. I unequivocally highly recommend John as a masterful trial and transitional lawyer as well as an excellent counselor and legal adviser.

Well, I can’t say that I was ever in the courtroom with John… because he kept us out of the court house. His thorough work on contracts, imaginative problem-solving abilities in bringing a deal to closure, his sage advice as to how to approach business challenges all represented talent and skill that are critical in making successful, profitable transactions happen. Always working with the highest level of integrity, he is also a person you just enjoy being around.

I have worked with John Price for over twenty years. He has handled my legal needs for a small business start up as well as a multinational corporation. My experience with John has been that he consistently delivers at a high level. He has drafted our operating business contracts as well as provided legal guidance regarding federal agency requirements . His approach is 360 degrees - If you want to make sure you are addressing legal items today with an eye on the the future you will find no better.

Ryan is a very dedicated attorney who is timely, helpful and fair. We have been using Ryan for the past year to do contract reviews as well as collections. We utilize Ryan for his services almost weekly and he is always very quick to respond and to complete the task at hand. He gives sound advice and we appreciate the attention that he gives to our situations and concerns. We are VERY pleased with his performance and the manner in which he bills, we believe he is always VERY fair with the time that he charges for.

Very personable and thorough attorney who did a unique will and trust for us. The horses can rest assured that their lifestyle can continue uninterrupted! Extremely detailed and well documented.

After a very difficult year and 5,000 mile relocation to NC with my two small children, I was very nervous about my financial future and protecting my children's future. Peter facilitated this transition and guided me through the estate planning process. It was a relaxing and very professional atmosphere. Peter pointed out other aspects of financial planning that I had not even considered and put me in touch with several other professional associates. The process went very quickly. Directions were complete and thorough. I look forward to a long relationship with this firm.

19 Oct, 2015 by Annabelle

In the handling of my estate and personal legal concerns Peter McGuire has suggested different courses of action, and explained each in a manner that is understandable. Within the direction I decided upon, my concerns were addressed, the consequences of each course of action explained, and the final documents have been prepared promptly. P ayment was not accepted or asked for until I was satisfied.

I had a wonderful experience working with Paige who was able to bring my case to a successful conclusion. Thanks again Paige you are highly recommended,

Paige came highly recommended from an attorney friend of mine. She did not disappoint me at all. I was starting a new business and she guided me down a bumpy path you go through with a startup. She gave me great advice on contracts, business decisions and legal questions. I could not thank her enough. I almost consider her a partner in my business.

14 Apr, 2019 by Robin

Paige brought our faith back in lawyers. We had a horrendous experience with another attorney. We didn't listen to any other recommendations and found Paige online. She helped us successfully with our case. Along with her knowledge of the construction industry, she was also, honest, fair, quietly confident and diligent. Our case took 2.5 years and she was there for us the entire way. We would highly recommend Paige.

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.
