I’ve had a difficult case where I had to hire Steven to fight my post conviction case where other attorney messed up. He is the honest and best one and does what he tells you he will do! He won my case, it took him couple years to do so but he did! He will fight your case till he wins it for you! Greatly recommended for service!!! As well he is one of the top 100 attorneys of America!

I write this review nearly 15 years after Steven saved my life. So I’ll be short and sweet. When I think about Steven Sherlag I can’t help but look back and imagine “Billy Flynn”, the defense lawyer in the movie Chicago. What I witnessed Steven do was both a blessing and magic to say the least. He is a good man with a pure moral compass. I pray I never need his assistance again, but if I do, I pray he answers that call. I have recommended him and would recommend his talent to anyone, family, friends, or strangers.

I highly recommend Steven Sherlag. He is trustworthy, and really cares about people. He and his Assistant Kristine San Fillipo, were very professional handling my case. Through this stressful time in my life, I was really surprised that they took time to check in on me, (phone call, email) to see how I was doing. To me, that is a rarity for such a busy firm. He really fights hard for you and defends you to the end!

Rick was so helpful to my family and I. Not only did he inform me that I actually do not need a lawyer for my particular situation, but he also was honest about the likely outcome of our other case. Instead of choosing to accept a hefty up-front retainer, he chose integrity and candor. He helped to guide us in the right direction, which we're very grateful for, even if we did not end up working together.

There is no way to adequately describe the help that Rick Okamura has been to me over the past two to three years. I brought to him a mess of an estate after leaving another attorney who had botched drawing up the will for an estate and trust that I was the personal representative and trustee for. There were many problems that came up during the handling of this estate. RIck Okamura was instrumental in walking me through them. He is a highly ethical, professional, and thorough. At the same time he was conscious of what I was going through personally in trying to deal with the issues and was sensitive to my concerns and lack of experience. I would highly recommend Rick Okamura to anyone needing an estate attorney.

Rick was wonderful when my elderly mother was still living and after she passed. The estate process can be very confusing and highly emotional. Rick made it all go smoothly with understanding and attention to detail. He explained the process by breaking it down step by step. I couldn't have gotten through it without him.

We never hired a lawyer before, so deciding to work with a lawyer was an intimidating process. I strongly recommend him -- do not hesitate to reach out to him for his expertise and choose him for your lawyer. We are so glad to have chosen him as our advocate. Matthew listened to our case carefully, and made us feel comfortable to address any questions and concerns. He provided the help we needed and got us the result we wanted. Matthew helped us with the property damage and bodily injury claims - he worked so efficiently that he reached a settlement, which I expected to take a few months to complete, only in a couple of weeks. Matthew is thoughtful and amazing!

I retained Matt for a slip & fall injury because the insurance company was not working with me. After Matt took my claim over I did not have to do anything. Matt did all the calling, negotiating, and because of his due diligence I received a larger settlement than I thought I was gonna receive. He was always there to answer my questions no matter how many times I called or email him. He was quick to send me an answer and if he didn't have one he found the answer ASAP. If I need an attorney in the future I will call Matt always. I would also refer him to anyone who asks me about an attorney. Thank you Matt for helping me settle my claim so quick.

I retained Matt Rizzo twice for two auto accident claims. Matt's communication and service to his clients are second-to-none. He always kept me informed about my case. We met a few times before going into depositions and I really felt like he cared about me, my injuries and fighting for my compensation. He always had a plan. Because of Matt, I received a way larger settlement than I could've even imagined. The insurance company low-balled me and they're the ones who are supposed to care about you! This is why you need a car accident and personal injury lawyer when you've been injured. The insurance adjusters are not your friend! They're trained to settle quickly and for as little as possible. What really impressed me about Matt is that he's so fierce and aggressive, but so cool, calm, and collected at the same time. I should also mention that outside of the office or court, he's a very down-to-earth guy and charismatic. Matt, thank you for representing me and for your help. If I'm ever in need of your skills again in the future, you're my guy for life! You're the man!

I initially got in contact with Taylor for a consultation through my friend who had worked with him for her divorce . He gave me all of the information I needed to self-file. My ex avoided service and filed his own divorce papers in CA where he lives. So it all became very complicated. I came back to Taylor and hired him to help me navigate through it all. He could not give me any advice on CA, but he was very skilled at helping me know what to do to ensure jurisdiction for the case would be here in OR. I had lived here for 2 years with my 10 year old son. Taylor was able to successfully get jurisdiction changed to OR. My ex challenged it in CA, but we prevailed. This was an incredibly stressful and emotional experience for me that went on for almost 2 years. Taylor stuck through it all with me and was a calm and patient sounding board for my concerns and questions. He is a saint for all of the times he talked me off the edge and helped me through it all. He answered every call in a timely manner and swiftly followed up on all the necessary documents and filings needed. I feel so blessed to have had Taylor as my attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone having to unfortunately go through a divorce. Taylor is incredibly skilled and compassionate. If there was an award for best Divorce Attorney in the state, Taylor would win it hands down.

Taylor,and his staff went above and beyond for our family this past year and a half. His compassion and understanding of family law made me feel confident that we had made the right choice in choosing our lawyer. What was supposed to be a fairly simple divorce modification,ended up being a lengthy process that resulted in a court hearing. Taylor was very well prepared for this and eased my nervousness by thouroughly prepping me beforehand. Without him we would not have prevailed in both the court hearing and supplemental judgement. I can’t express how fortunate my children and I are for what Taylor has done for us. We will always be grateful.. thank you Taylor.

Our HOA hired Jason as our attorney and I have had the pleasure of working with him for many years while serving on my HOA board. Thanks to Jason's consistent professional, supportive approach we were able to navigate stressful lawsuits and numerous, challenging complaints with ease. I appreciate his ability to articulate the law in a very real and relatable manner. This approach always de-escalated intense situations our board encountered. I recently sold my home and live in a neighborhood without an HOA but in the event I ever need a real estate lawyer, the first and only call I'm making is to Jason Grosz. I would recommend hiring or consulting with him on HOA or real estate matters in the event you encounter a situation that calls for a trusted real estate lawyer that operates with integrity and efficiency in every situation, every time.

Clayton Tullos gives one exactly what is needed in the courtroom...an experienced litigator who is quick thinking and a powerful advocate. I write this review with the status of my case still pending, but I wouldn't change it regardless of the outcome. Clayton did a skilled job passionately advocating for my daughter and her rights as a person in a difficult custody case. Clayton was willing to work with me on what I could afford, and was efficient in selecting relevant evidence and resources for trial. Most importantly, Clayton cared as a human being and this was evident in his argument. Clayton isn't the best layer for everyone, but he is a skilled litigator, was honest through the process, and he cared, which is the most one can ask for of an attorney. Highest recommendation.

Ryan Anfuso is incredible! He is the most attentive and professional attorney you could ask for. He is not a “Plea Bargainer”. He will fight for you, not just try to get you a plea offer. I fired my first attorney for failing to prepare for trial and lack of communication. Within 3 months, Ryan did more for my defense than the 6 months my previous attorney had. Ryan has a great team and a vast amount of resources. He thinks ‘outside the box’ to develop the best strategy for your defense. Ryan is empathic and compassionate. He treats you like a human, not like a criminal. When it comes time to go to court, he doesn’t sit by quietly. He addresses indiscretions and doesn’t get bullied by the DA. He will fight for you! Most importantly, if you call him, he will call you back!

I was in a very abusive relationship with my ex boyfriend for three years. One night he attacked me, which was often... I started screaming and the neighbors called the police. I had been drinking and he hadn’t. I was charged with two counts of domestic violence harassment... I thought my life was over. So I called Ryan Anfuso. He immediately looked at my case and helped me. He always answered my calls or called me the same day. He found enough evidence to get both charges dismissed! If you are ever falsely accused of a crime, please call Ryan Anfuso. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be able to move on with my life and feel free, literally and metaphorically. There is no attorney better, I was so lucky to find him, I would be in jail probably if it wasn’t for him. And now I can be happy, thank you for everything Ryan.

Wayne Hawn was a fantastic attorney. I first met with Wayne in Portland, OR. He traveled up here from Bend, OR to meet me and discuss what happened. He was very caring and confident in my case, thus I hired him a few days later and began the process. As this was my first time being involved with a lawyer, my understanding of the process was minimal. Wayne knew how to properly convey and illustrate each step along the way. He was a true teammate throughout the entire year of our case. He laid out what he believed was to occur and 95% of the time, it happened. I would recommend Wayne for any and all cases. If you're searching for a lawyer, give him a call and meet up with him. I am sure at that point you'll realize how experienced he is. Thanks again Wayne, Your friend

I had been in Oregon for only a short time. By moving here I had already taken a pretty big pay cut which I was adjusting to, then the recession hit and my employer hit me with a salary reduction which amounted to about a third of my pay. I didn't know what to do, I had more money going out than coming in. I didn't have a problem paying my debts but just didn't know how to go about doing it without someone being very unhappy. I contacted Erik about Chapter 13. He was very helpful, put me at ease, answered all my questions, guided me thru the legal process that can be very confusing and nerve racking. It took a while, but I got thru it. I appreciate all the help he gave me and would definitely use him again should the need arise.

I have and will continue to highly recommend Ms. Cambreleng to colleagues, employers/employees, and friends. She has represented/advised me on two very distinct matters, ranging from workplace bullying and retaliation for whistleblowing and helping me advocate for the rights of a family member experiencing discrimination and harassment. What makes her a particularly effective attorney is her balanced approach. She is a fierce advocate when she needs to be and is not intimidated to go up against the "big fish". Yet, she consistently shows compassion, an ability to assess complex situations, and a deep knowledge of applicable laws, including their limitations. Ms. Cambreling seems to thoughtfully tailor her strategy based on the unique needs of each client and the complexity of the issues. She offered me practical advice and was forthcoming with the information she provided, even if it was not what I wanted to hear, ultimately helping me have realistic expectations for potential outcomes.

I was hit by a drunk driver in Sunriver while on vacation. While I herniated a disc, I had a ton of preexisting conditions that complicated everything. I am a lawyer and thought I could handle this but when the insurance company rejected my $15,000 settlement demand, I called a defense lawyer I knew in Redmond for a recommendation and without hesitation recommended Tim. I hired him and he and his Assistant, Julie, took over everything. 6 months later I had my deposition (where I thought I did poorly) but a month later Tim had secured a $300,000 policy limits offer!! No IME. I did not have surgery. It was an absolutely wonderful result. The best I could have hoped for. Hire Tim. You want the best on your side.

My son was in some really questionable situations with his Dad. I found Rob quickly on google and made a panic call. He called me back, talked to me for an hour or so to get a feel for my case, and we set an appointment. I was immediately impressed by him. My case was tricky, but Rob calmed my anxious mind time and time again. He never made me feel like I was a burden. I never felt taken advantage of by him and he was sensitive to my financial situation. He went the extra mile by hiring outside help when needed, and we were able to keep my son out of further harms way. He was always honest with how certain situations might play out in court. He didn’t encourage revenge or unnecessary actions that might’ve made him money. His knowledge and experience and contacts really played a huge role. I am so grateful to Rob and the hard work he put in for my family. He is worth every penny and I will always recommend him to anyone. His office staff was always top notch as well.

He is the attorney if you want to know what the judge would say - if you want to know the worst and best case - and if you don’t want to feel manipulated and like you just spent your last penny. I can’t say enough about him - hire rob!!

First I need to say who I am to give what I have to say any value. I am a Christian, Father, Marine Veteran, and a Nurse in my Mid 30's. My mistake with Robert is that at first, I only used him for consultation when I should have had him represent me from the beginning . I thought I was smart and I could do this on my own. I was wrong and at the first court hearing it cost me both custody of my son and financially with child support. After that I knew I needed to put it all on the table, barrow money, take out a loan. I did what ever it took to have Robert represent me and try to get my son back. Two things need to be mentioned. First is you wont find cheaper out there for his 30 plus years skill set. Second is Robert is a lawyer, Not a banker. When I say Not a banker, Robert had many opportunities to let things go in a direction that would of benefited him greatly with lawyer fees but he didn't. Robert not only represented me, he also represented my financial well being. He directed my case so that most of the fees fell on opposing party. Luckily my ex hired a banker and not a lawyer and was happy to run up her charges. Not only that, I kept a detailed log of all the text, email, phone calls, meetings etc I had with Robert and every time he well undercharged me. A few times I wanted the case to go in a direction that I thought was best, I was wronged and I wanted justice. Robert respectfully advised that some things will cost you more than they are worth. Once again looking out for my well being when I was blinded by hurt and could not see a clear path. Robert is reliable, accurate, and fast. Every time Robert had gotten back to me within the Hour or at the most same day. He also knows how to put the pressure on opposing party and get results fast. At the end of my case. Robert not only got me my son back, I got everything and didn't have to pay child support. Way more than I thought that I would get. I told him that his Humanity was greater than many than I have seen in my life so far and this is true when someone takes less and does more to help a complete stranger. And what really impressed me was that not only did he help my case in the moment, he made sure that the agreed ruling would protect my son and I for the future. That's why I say Robert does not just represent you, he represents your well being. There are not words that I could say or write that could show how grateful I am that you helped get my son back. Thank you so much Robert.

I worked with Richard during an employment law case. He is extremely knowledgeable and gives you clear outlooks of all the possible paths. Despite the opposing party being difficult to deal with, he remained professional throughout the entire claim and always put my best interests first. He communicated consistently about the important things, providing the big-picture strategic advice required, while at the same time shielding me from unnecessary details. This helped enormously in lessening the emotional weight of going down a legal route. In the background he just kept working the case until a final successful outcome. I would recommend his services without reservation.

Bryan was the second attorney I met with to discuss my options. I was getting married and moving in with my husband and needed to get rid of my underwater condo. I showed up to my first meeting with Bryan, assuming foreclosure was my only option, since the first lawyer I met with told me I wouldn't qualify for a short sale. Bryan disagreed with the first lawyer and explained why, including his experience closing short sales with the same bank that held my loan. Bryan is also a real estate broker, so I didn't have to worry about getting my condo on the market myself. Bryan stopped by to take pictures of my condo and it was listed for sale online that day. We had an offer in 2 days. Fast forward three months, my condo is sold, and I am not responsible for the $50,000 deficiency. The only money I spent was for Bryan's initial consultation fee, which was more reasonable than other lawyers I have worked with. I highly recommend Bryan Kidder. He is friendly, professional, and concise in his explanations. He was always prompt at answering my questions via phone or email and kept me updated on all new information throughout the process. Thanks again Bryan!!

Profitt law is one of the best HOA Law firms in the northwest. I have worked with other firms and finally found a home with Profitt law. Kathleen and Vicky are amazing they make you feel like you are their only client when you stop by or when you call. Working with this firm isn’t like any other firm, some firms that are large you feel like they provide a service and send you a bill. This firm makes you feel like they are here for you and only you; they make you feel like you are important and they are your HOA partner. After working with Profitt Law for almost a year now I can honestly say I am a customer for life! If you and your board want a law firm that is there for you, always has your HOA in the best interest and you want someone you can trust then choose Profitt Law you won’t be sorry!

I found this attorney to be extremely knowledgeable in her specific area of expertise, i.e. condo law, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the general practice of law. She was also very responsive as I was always able to reach her when needed to discuss various aspects of the case. and she kept me totally informed at all times. She listened to what I had to say about the case and we had a very co-operative and mutual exchange of ideas as, unlike many other attorneys with whom i have worked with, she realized that the client knows more about his or her case than anyone else; and ,therefore is someone whom the attorney should listen to. I was extraordinarily impressed with her knowledge of all of the facts of the case and the law and her willingness to "dig" for all of the pertinent facts and law. One aspect of her handling of the case that most impressed me was her willingness to go the extra mile and learn about other matters that were going to have an impact on the case. She did whatever it took to make certain that we would prevail. She was unquestionably willing to stand up for my rights in the most difficult of circumstances when many another lawyer would have backed off. But she also knew when to compromise and work with the opposition at the right time to amicable settle the case. In other words, her judgment skills were impeccable--- something that is not taught in law school and that is lacked by many an attorney. Finally, although not really of any consequence when compared with making certain one wins and everything else that is involved with litigation, she was very reasonable with her legal fees. I was extraordinarily impressed with this attorney on all levels and would very highly recommend her to anyone.

I presented Doug with a truly horrifying family/real estate case. I had no idea of how to find a reputable attorney so I went on the Internet, was very impressed with his reviews and contacted him. He promptly arranged a meeting at which we thoroughly discussed all aspects of the case at that point as well as his fee structure. No matter how ugly and frustrating (for both of us) it got, he persevered, always including me in his thoughts on appropriate strategy and requesting mine as well. I'm on a fixed income and he appreciated this, working very hard for every dollar I paid him. The case reached a "settlement" today. His integrity, dedication and professionalism were apparent throughout. I can sincerely recommend him to anyone seeking to hire a highly competent attorney. Plus, he's a really nice guy.

After speaking to Brian he graciously agreed to accept our case. He was very professional and honest. He quickly reviewed and processed all paperwork that had been neglected by another attorney. He was able to resolve our case after a 2 year car accident. I will highly recommend him to all my friends and family!

At every step of the way he was patient, thoughtful, responsive, extremely professional and very, very skilled.

I was in a relatively unique situation involving a car accident and was being held financially responsible, although I didn't believe I was solely at fault. I wasn't sure if it was even worth trying to fight. During the initial consultation, Mr. Leonard did a great job of listening, asking the right questions, and informing me of all of the possible outcomes. He was also clear about what his approach would be, and I left feeling like I had a clear idea of how he was planning to proceed. I decided to hope for the best and hired him to handle the case. He kept me up to date on the progress of the case and did a great job communicating with me throughout the process. I was incredibly relieved and grateful when he won the case for me, as it saved me quite a bit of money. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Leonard to any of my friends or family, and would use his services again should I ever find myself in a similar situation (although I'll cross my fingers that never happens :-)

Who says that lawyers can't be good people? The first time I hired Scott was for a traffic infraction that I didn't have time to deal with. He did a great job of keeping me updated and keeping me from having to be bothered at all by the process. The next time I called him, was for an auto accident where the claim process was dragged out by the other person's insurance company forever. Mr Leonard again kept me in the loop without letting anyone involved bother me about any of it. I will never delete Scott's number from my phone and will never hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family.

I was hit by a car in February, 2015, and sustained debilitating injuries to my right knee. I stumbled across Tom's website online while researching personal injury attorneys, and couldn't be more satisfied with the service he provided me. From handling the complicated process of dealing with insurance companies, to offering thoughtful advice when it was needed, Tom was a total rock star. While I hope to never have the need for Tom's services again, I will be recommending him at every opportunity. I wouldn't hesitate reaching out to him for a second should the need for his quality work arise in the future. Thanks a million, Tom!

Tom represented me after a bad car accident. I had injuries that required surgery and several months of physical therapy, and was also in the process of moving and starting a new job when the accident happened. Tom served as a kind and patient adviser during a stressful time. When my medical insurance repeatedly billed me in error for treatment related to the accident, Tom's firm was able to resolve the issue and get my insurance to bill my PIP plan instead. He negotiated the best possible injury settlement in my case in spite of low policy limits. The driver who caused the accident was covered by a notoriously cheap and difficult insurance company, and I doubt I would have received a settlement without a persistent and competent lawyer. Tom was respectful of my priorities, in particular making sure that my settlement agreement was not harmful to the passengers in my car, who were close friends of mine who were pursing their own settlement from the at-fault driver's insurance. Because of the policy limits involved in my case, it was never going to make a lot of money for Tom's firm, but they still provided me with excellent and thorough representation. I highly recommend Thomas Adams.

Before I met Matthew Holland, I probably had one of the most confusing and sloppy divorce cases due to a crazy ex-wife that wanted money, to see me suffer, and take away my son. Matthew was my 4th and final lawyer on this extremely difficult case. I have learned, when one is in a litigation battle, it is necessary that you have all facets in a lawyer and law office. It is extremely difficult to find an attorney that knows the law in and out. Mr. Holland is accurate, thorough, fast at filing paperwork, and can dominate in the courtroom if the case is forced to trial. This guy did it all. Matt won an extremely difficult case and dug me out of a MASSIVE hole when I met him. He gave me my son back and my life. In addition to gaining my time with my son, Matt saved me from what could have been a substantial debt. It was super impressive to watch him work at his craft. He is an immense asset at Donahue law Firm in Bend Oregon. I owe a great thanks to Matthew Holland and his incredible paralegal Annalee Hoagland. I can't stress this enough; I highly recommend Matthew Holland as a divorce attorney. I also believe that Donahue Law Firm has taken the #1 spot in town for a pedigree law firm. Do your research, there are only two others.

I feel very fortunate to have come upon Matt Holland. I presented him with a complex employment contract with a medical group and hospital (25 pages worth of legalese), and he went through them point-by-point with me the very next day. He explained everything clearly, pointed out the 'draconian' parts, and reassured me that as a whole it was a fair contract. He charged less than average and yet I am sure my contract was reviewed with more care and close attention than it would have been at some big law place. Plus Matt was flexible about timing, and was willing to review the contract with me partly over the phone and partly at his office, even though it was late in the day. I looked him up on Yelp, and read his philosophy about law, and I must say, I am impressed by his professionalism and purpose. It's not every day you meet a lawyer who genuinely believes in the law and uses his training for good. This is not your stereotypical greedy or smarmy lawyer; this is a good guy. I hope I don't need an attorney in future, but if I do, I most certainly will return to Holland Law.

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.
