Julie Sombathy represented me in a very professional, virtuous, and passionate manner. Not only is she an incredibly knowledgeable attorney, she is also extremely passionate about representing her clients in an ethical and honorable way. In addition, she took a personal interest in my case and made me feel as though she really cared about the outcome. She restored my faith in the legal profession and let me know that there are still honest, hard working lawyers out there. If I ever needed legal representation in the future, I would, without hesitation, hire Ms. Sombathy again.

Karim Tabbaa is an amazing lawyer! For years he has worked with me on various matters including reviewing and creating contracts, financial law, and much more. For example, I had received a contract agreement for a business deal and Karim fully explained the terms in simple language and offered advice on how to request a change in the terms in my favor. He is very knowledgeable, prompt, and has excellent communication skills. I trust him fully with any legal matter I encounter and strongly recommend him to anyone seeking legal consultation.

Will was there for us during the worst time in our lives. He doggedly pursued justice for us in what I’m sure was one of his most frustrating cases. He constantly kept us informed of developments and was open to our many questions. In the end, he was able to secure the best possible outcome for us.

At a very difficult time in my life, Attorney Reiter and his legal assistant Rachael helped me more than they will ever realize. Not just from a legal standpoint. I never felt like they were judging me for any of the very bad decisions I made. They answered my every question and never failed to return a call or email. Attorney Reiter handled my case unbelievably well. His legal assistant Rachael is awesome. I highly recommend attorney Reiter. And will forever be grateful for all of his help, his knowledge and expertise.

I applied for disability and ofcourse was turned down so I went to Michael's office and spoke with Rachel. They did my appeal and fortunately I did get approved. Dealing with this was very exhausting to me and I 100% believe if I hadn't have had Michael's office in my corner I would still be waiting. They will always call you back and can answer all your questions.

Attorney Christopher Young represented me, and my wife in a Wrongful Death Law Suit in November 2004. This case was the result of a school bus accident in Jackson County, Florida, which took the life of our daughter, Shelby Nicole Davis. Mr. Young was more than an excellent lawyer as he was there for us as a Christian friend. I still to this day text, e-mail, and face book with Chris. I consider him to be a life long friend and my attorney. Chris is highly intelligent, confident, trustworthy, and a lawyer who knows how to get positive results when it seems like you are up against the giants of this world. If you need someone you can count on when the going gets tough, call Chris Young. Chris will not back down, and will be there with you every step of the way. There was times he had to hold me up, but we made it though. I feel that a sense of justice and closure in the wrongful death of my child. Sincerely, Michael Davis

Called to schedule a free consultation regarding my potential medical case. Front desk lady said that someone will contact me to get more details about my case and discuss my situation. In 3 days received email which said “After one of our attorneys carefully reviewed the information provided on your intake it is our decision that we will not be able to assist you in this matter”. I don’t understand what “careful review” means because I provided zero details about my situation. So, they didn’t even try. And seems like they didn’t want to try. Very disappointed.

Mr. Stafford came highly recommended both personally and professionally and was hired to settle a contract dispute. Upon contacting his office I was quickly set up with an appointment. Although he did not handle the original contract, he provided professional, knowledgeable assistance regarding the issue and resolved my case quickly. He made sure I was well informed and promptly took or returned my calls if I had any questions about my case. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Hired him! Kept telling him to go to court to fight for us. He kept saying he was, he was!!

Mr. Carter was consulted for title review and assessment of an existing real property whereby the property owner was excluded and denied membership privelages conveyed with the property.
Mr. Carter was subsequently hired as plaintiffs representation for litigation.
Mr. Carter successfully resolved the matter in favor of plaintiff. The case was complicated, difficult to dissect with multiple defendants.
Ultra professional, most attentive, excellent steward, and commanding in the court room.

Mr. Carter is exceptionally well versed in the areas of business and corporate law. His attention to detail and ability to communicate effectively is both efficient and eloquent, thus authoring arguments that stay on point and drive home compelling conclusions that are difficult, at best, to rebut. Further, Mr. Carter is a very giving listener that allows his client the freedom to contribute and opine throughout the process without any condescension, bias, or judgment. HIs sincerity and genuine concern for his client's needs and goals are clearly illustrated by incorporating every relevant angle of an argument into a case while keeping his points focused and consistent. In short, Mr. Carter's finest quality is respect for his client and the rare ability to empathetically engage an individual while maintaining an objective and calculated perspective.

This firm is absolutely disgusting. I received full custody recommendations from the mediator, yet this firm sat on the paperwork trying to get more money. After already spending several thousands with this firm, I had to find another Attorney to finish my case, but it was too late because of how long Virga firm held on to the paperwork and caused the recommendation to no longer be valid. I would highly recommend staying far far away from Virga law!!!

From my understanding my case was very long! I was dealing with a father with Dementia who was dealing with everything from step children stealing every dime he had from his bank account, drug addicted squatters living in his home, a realtor circling around his real estate putting Lady Byrd deeds on everything in order to cheat my father's biological children, we went through 2 guardians one who died on us another who I felt could no longer be trusted, who decides to budy up to an estranged
Sister who pops up out of nowhere to take control of the case. To say I didn't know where to start is an understatement.
Max McCord was the answer to my prayers. He is tough, he is sympathetic to your emotions, and he is very trustworthy on how your outcome is going to be. When you are watching your dying parent and too heartbroken and confused to figure out the law of elder abuse MAX McCord is your guy

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.
