I spoke with Julianne after losing my job during Covid. She was extremely detail oriented and caring regarding my situation.
I had a few general conversations with other attorneys and she was the only one that pointed out some very significant viewpoints regarding my case. I would totally seek her out if I had any employment issues in the future.

Garen has represented my company on many different levels and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Garen's knowledge of the law and his refusal to accept anyhing less than justice for his client is the reason why if I ever have to be in a courtroom, I would want him on my side.
He will listen to your needs and concerns while keeping you informed every step of the way.
Garen is the most professional attorney I have had the pleasure of dealing with.

If you are searching for an attorney who will keep you informed of current facts as well as the future steps and procedures of your case, I would recommend Garen. I found that his constant communication provided me with the knowledge that helped me to eliminate any anxiety of what the future steps in my case would bring. He certainly was responsive to my questions and provided the answers in a clear and professional manner. Throughout the process, it became apparent that there was truly a team relationship developed and not a separate attorney and client relationship.

I've only needed one lawyer in my life to date (34 years old) and thank god for that. With that being said I will never need another one again. Garen will be my first call in the first signs of future troubles. My wife and I put our financial life in his hands for over 3 years. He earned our trust through his amazing dedication to our case.
My wife and I have a lifelong lawyer but more importantly we have a lifelong friend. I would recommend him to anyone.

I've hired Lee on several occasions for all sorts of different matters, from routine non judicial settlement agreements to difficult Orphans' Court litigation matters. He is good with clients and gets the job done. He is very responsive and always returns phone calls the same day which is highly unusual in this profession. His creativity in complex matters and ability to calmly deal with difficult client situations and adversarial counsel makes him stand out from the crowded filed of trust and estates attorneys.
I recommend Lee for routine legal matters to complex litigation including appellate work. He is better than most attorneys that cost $100's more per hour.

Michael Willner is a brilliant, strategic, and effective attorney who works without end or limit for his clients. He undertook a very complex matter in our case that had multiple details, moving parts, and useless egos. He was the only one who understood the facts, the law and the strategy for victory. He communicated constantly and kept us up to date on all matters.
He uses SLCG as a damages expert who is second to no one.
His integrity and ethics are beyond reproach, and that is 90% of the battle having an attorney who seeks the truth, fights hard and never quits...very rare!

I’ve known Chris for over 15 years now. I can honestly say I’ve never had to use him to represent myself but rather other people. Can Chris beat every case? No! But hell damn sure go to the moon for you. I had to learn that often times he may seem short but I used to take it personally. He’s just focused on what you’ve hired him to do. He’s extremely articulate in the courtroom but with the upmost professionalism. Chris knows I’m a big cry baby. I look at him like the grandfather of attorneys. This particular time when I went to his office, unannounced no appointment, I was in tears and unconsolable. His exact words were how can I help you Sunshine? Im almost certain that he doesn’t like to see girls cry especially since he has daughters. I can honestly say He will try his absolute best for you. He’s straight up! What you see is what you get. I often wonder when he retires will there be anyone as caring as him in this field? I had the opportunity to meet his partner and he was extremely humble as well. If I had to rate Chris now and then it would always be a 10. He doesn’t just treat you like a dollar sign and a case. He does have a heart to understand your case, your concerns etc. I can honestly attest to the fact that he will do his absolute best! If you’ve got Chris you can sleep with some kind of ease. Chris if I don’t say it enough, thank you 🙏🏾 for always being there. You and I go wayyyyy back! The fact that these were not my personal cases you still never ever let me down and I knew in my heart of hearts that You always had the best interest of the represented at heart ❤️ and that speaks volumes!!!!! Thank you for ALL of your hard work and dedication to the people that I’ve brought your way along with so many others. There’s not enough thank you to ever fulfill my gratitude for you and your expertise. May God continue to grow and bless Hoey legal ❤️🙏🏾

John and I were so glad to have Bill Weber at the wheel for our real estate deal. What seemed to initially to have been a smooth deal after a quick sale suddenly became a nightmare for ridiculous reasons. We are so glad we called Bill and his staff. From the point of that phone call, our worries were over. Thanks Bill and everyone at CW&O

Having worked with Mr. Weber involving mediations, we have found him to be a well-qualified, talented, and creative mediator who has the ability to bring all parties to a satisfactory solution. We look forward to working with him in the future.

My experience was less than poor to say the least. Does not deserve any stars. Mr. Weber and his follow up with details is terrible. I called to schedule my mediation, his firm failed to call me back after the other phoned in to schedule. Never did. Went to my hearing and the Mr Weber filed an inaccurate record with the court. I called his firm and the person that answered the phone recalled me calling originally said she would call me back upon speaking with Mr Weber. She called me back and said the would file proper paperwork with court; they have not. I provided proper phone documentation noting calls above were both received from their office and incoming on my phone. I sent a fax to Mr Weber and he has failed to respond. Extremely unresponsive. If anyone ever receives his name for a mediator. Protest, do whatever you can to remove him and his firm from mediation. Very unprofessional and unethical.

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.
