I cannot think of a better attorney to recommend than Maria Speth! Maria has been our corporate attorney for over 20 years and we have used her services for many legal situations; from our contracts, to our website compliance, to managing our trademarks including cease and desist letters to those who have infringed on our IP. In addition she's put us in contact with other great attorneys should our need be outside her field - such as an attorney for 1099 contractor law. (We've always been happy with her recommendations) Maria is also a faculty member at our business events and has works with MANY of our customers. In all these years we've had zero complaints and only have heard outstanding feedback. She is a fantastic educator, and her communication is always on point; fast and concise.

I have the good fortune to have experienced Maria’s expertise in a multitude of ways; from teaching how to protect my intellectual property to advising me about contractual legalese; coaching me on business best practices, to illustrating pitfalls and pathways in navigating today’s digitally complex legal world. She has always come through with just what I needed to make an informed decision, moving forward with appropriate action. I am a recovering senior corporate executive and current parallel entrepreneur and small business owner. Knowing that Maria is on my team to advise me and guide me in all areas legal (whether it’s her directly or one of her referred colleagues) provides me with confidence, security and the ability to rest assured that I am in good hands and protected. Maria is an outstanding speaker, writer and mentor and I highly recommend her without reserve to anyone looking for someone to advise and represent them!

I can't recommend Maria highly enough. I've used her for many legal situations and if she doesn't specifically work in that field, she'll have a great referral handy. She's been amazing with contract reviews, intellectual property rights for my film production company, and answering questions with regard to intellectual property on set props while filming.

After several failed attempts to have IEPs updated with meaningful and functioning goals, I was refereed to Rebecca. She had our IEPs for two boys with ASD revamped. The goals were practical and not redundant as they had been. Our youngest was potty trained in 2 months because he had the full support he needed at school to understand such an important life skill. He was also moved to a lower functioning class without any Prior Written Notice. This was immediately remedied and our son is now in the best placement and thriving. After several years of being told our older, non-verbal, son didn't qualify for ESY, Rebecca made it happen. She reminded the school district that he was at a Critical Stage in communication and not only did he qualify, but they also needed to purchase an Aug Comm. Device as well as the necessary software he needed to be successful and have a voice. The school district purchased it and trained staff to be able to accurately assist my son and his needs on a daily basis. Both of my children are now in better placements and have the tools needed to progress. I would not have been able to get them this far with the run around from the district, my anger and fear for their needs not being met, or without Rebecca's level headedness when I couldn't think clearly. She is an absolutely amazing advocate and lawyer.

Rebecca was wonderful when she came to a Pediatric Epilepsy Support Group meeting that I go to. She answered everyone's questions, from "what should be in an IEP" to "what's the difference between an IEP and 504". In this crazy special ed/IEP world, her knowledge and expertise was SO helpful and very much appreciated. I'd love to have her come back again, and I have referred her to many special needs moms.

06 Apr, 2017 by Erika

I contacted and Rebecca regarding educational needs and help for my child. She was very nice and warm when I met her. I told her everything that was going on in our situation. She was very concerned and it was very important for her to make sure that my child got the services and tools they needed to have in everyday education. She is very consistent and always making the situation less stressful for the parents,which was amazing. I go to her for any questions and concerns I have and she always has answer and very knowledgeable. She is amazing and i would recommend her to anyone. She has been great to us for the last few years and still continues to be.

After 40 years of dealing with attorneys, Lisa is, by far, the most competent, honest, focused attorney I have retained. She is fair but direct and is your advocate throughout the process. Many attorneys will tell you that your case is their number one priority only to be disappointed by the absence of representation and lack of understanding your needs. With Lisa, you are not just another file on her desk but a priority. Hire Lisa and it's handled...don't...and I wish you well because you'll be disappointed. Great attorney!

05 Feb, 2014 by Jm

Of all of the professionals we have dealt with in the past Lisa Counters has been the best. She is a truly incredible attorney. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and informative, she really cares about her clients and it shows. She is tough and strong where required and has empathy and understanding when needed. We cannot say enough, she has helped us during the most difficult and trying times in our lives.

Lisa Counters represented me with my disability benefit claim on my private disability insurance company and with my Social Security Disability Benefits claim. Lisa was with me from the start of my disability claim application providing knowledgeable advise, assistance with the many forms, and real answers to my many questions. The disability benefit claim process is intimidating and confusing. I could not have completed the disability claims process without Lisa's insight, expertise and aggressive work ethic. Lisa Counters was able to secure disability benefit awards for me from both my private disability insurance company and from the Social Security Administration. The disability benefit awards have improved the quality of my life. Before my disability, I was a businessman for over 30 years. I worked with many lawyers and law firms on a variety of matters. Based on experience, I can truly say that Lisa Counters and The Counters Firm provides excellent legal representation and remarkable service to clients like me with disability benefit claims.

My husband and I did our wills with Bethany and we were very pleased with the service. Bethany took the time to walk us through each document and was very patient and answered any questions that we had in a way that was very easy for us to understand. She was flexible, responsive, and kept on top of us to ensure we were completing the documents timely. She is also very affordable. I would definitely work with Bethany again.

As a professional peer of Ms. Jacobs, I know her to be an experienced, conscientious, and diligent attorney. Ms. Jacobs boasts extensive commercial law experience, a practice area in which she possesses particular expertise. I am pleased to endorse her without hesitation.

19 Sep, 2014 by Anonymous

mrs. Jacobs was my attorney for several corporation formations, small legal issues, and estate planning. From my will and trust, to a simple demand letter, to representing my small business corporation she was there when I had questions, fought for me when I needed it, and provided the legal guidance using everyday language without sounding too legalese. Her rates are reasonable (her estate planning isn't much more than the do it yourself stuff available) and she always made me feel like an important client. Highly recommended.

I met Will several years ago and he instantly made an impression. As a legal recruiting specialist, I am immersed in the industry and Will stands out - not only as a sharp and dedicated attorney, but also, as someone of great character and integrity. Will is unequivocally passionate about his practice and moreover, his clients.

09 Aug, 2017 by Lindsay

Will represented me during my malpractice lawsuit. This was a very difficult time for me but Will's expertise, calm yet honest demeanor made the experience a pleasant one. He was in constant contact with me, keeping me abreast of all the details and next steps. He made sure not to sugar coat anything and never made any promises. The outcome of the case was in my favor. I would highly recommend Will to anyone. He is an amazing talent.

08 Aug, 2017 by Roper

Will took on our case when most wouldn't. He worked hard to get up to date with deadlines fast approaching and made it all work. After a lot of hard work we went to trial. To watch Will during trial was amazing. He was very prepared and was able to adapt his plan as needed. I would recommend Will to anyone. He took great care of us and won the case for us.

Efficient and agressive patrick was sure to take care of us and took the bull by the horns . He was aggressive in his fight for us and communicated ofted so we never felt forgotten or confused . I would give him ten stars if i could.

12 Oct, 2014 by Jason

I first met Pat when my family and I needed his help and legal expertise in a product liability case. In very short order I learned that Pat wasn't just a lawyer working on another case. He has profound knowledge of the cases he dedicates his life to working. His compassion, care, and understanding of his clients is unmatched by anyone else in his profession. Pat brought a successful conclusion to our case and then continued to include me in his advocacy in making sure others didn't suffer my same fate. Pat is one of my dearest friends and his work should be the envy and aspiration of attorneys across the country.

11 Oct, 2014 by Christian

As former clients of Pat, my wife and I are familiar with his deep sense of compassion for those who suffer. He was constantly concerned for our welfare and worked tirelessly to vindicate our interests. Our case was complex to say the least, as are the extent of our injuries. But, as savvy as Pat is in knowing and practicing the law, he is equally passionate in knowing and advocating his clients. We feel privileged to know Pat and that he took our case. After years of working with Pat, he has become not only our highest source for legal expertise, but our friend for life.

When Isabel first took our case it didn't look very promising. Our mother lost her job and insurance benefits in the summer of 2016 and she passed the following winter. She did not successfully transfer her life insurance to a separate policy so we didn't expect to receive anything. Isabel fought with the insurance companys to get our family the life insurance, and she went above and beyond when it came to making sure all our affairs were in order. She communicated to us every step of the way, and even if we didn't get the payout I would still highly recommend Isabel and her firm to anyone needing legal assistance.

Anyone looking for a collection attorney who knows the ins and outs of collecting judgments, needs to contact Michael J Fuller. He is very professional, has 30 plus years experience and does just what he says he will do. Collecting on a judgment from some one who does not wish to pay is challenging in and on it's own. Having Michael Fuller assist you makes it that much better. His website states that the goal is to get the person to go to bed at night with you on their mind and wake up with you on their mind and he accomplished just that. It is important to note that it is a process and can be a lengthy one at that. Having the patience and the fortitude will always achieve results. Michael went above and beyond to get the judgment debtor backed into a corner so that his only options were to pay. I cannot thank him enough for all of his hard work and his calm demeanor throughout the whole process. Anyone needing to collect a debt, be sure to give him a call and set an appointment. Collecting a percentage of a debt owed is much better than collecting nothing on a debt owed.

Nat is a sharp, diligent and DEDICATED attorney. He gave me a very quick history on precedents of my legal issue, gave me some options, made recommendations and came up with a plan. He was instrumental in not only resolving a frustrating experience with my HOA.....but also set the scenario up so that if they *didn't* acquiesce, then we would be in a particularly advantageous position, legally speaking. Fortunately, that never had to play out, but he was ready to be there. If you want a lawyer who will listen, take your side, tell you your options and potential/likely outcomes, and is thinking multiple steps ahead of your adversary, and it willing to be generous and judicious with your/his time....then, hire him.

19 Jul, 2017 by Andrea jenkins

Attorney Nickele has done a wonderful job for us! He not only listened intently in our initial interview, but explained different courses of actions and the costs for each. He made himself available to us each step of the way. He is thorough, kind, shrewd and capable. I would hire him again, for any legal action in the future.

04 Oct, 2016 by Anonymous

Nat truly goes above and beyond for his clients. He not only works diligently to take care of your actual needs but also provides special attention to your potential needs. He is a well rounded individual who establishes a solid rapport with his client. I highly recommend him!

26 Jul, 2016 by John

James handled a matter for my wife and me. It was an experience that exceeded our expectations. He is trustworthy, honest, does exactly what he says he will do, and is an effective advocate inside and outside of the courtroom. He is aggressive when he needs to be, but he is always pragmatic and solutions-oriented. And he's not afraid of going to trial and fighting for you (he's very skilled inside of a courtroom). He promptly returns phone calls and emails, understands the law, and will give you candid feedback, even if it is not what you want to hear. You can always count on James to give you an honest opinion and to represent your interests with enthusiasm. I strongly recommend James and would not hesitate to hire him again.

My wife and I had done quite a bit of research as to the ins and outs of the laws pertaining to an employment contract. As a result, the further we researched, the more questions we had, so we finally decided we needed professional input. We contacted James Cool and made an appointment for an after-business-hours telephone call. Within 30 minutes of our conversation, Mr. Cool had not only answered all of our questions but answered using practical examples that were easily absorbed. He showed great attention to detail and instilled a high level of trust. His demeanor was professional yet quite personable. My wife and I felt as if a giant weight had been lifted off of our shoulders. Based on our experience, we highly recommend him.

posted 12/18/13 (the site auto inserted 3 years ago for some reason) If you have been charged with a DUI, you can do no better than retaining the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor. If you are as fortunate as me, you will get the pleasure of being represented by Eric S. Rothblum. He and others in his firm not only made the entire process as clear and understandable as can be, he and his associates achieved what I can hardly believe was possible. Allow me to summarize all they did for me: My attorney, Eric Rothblum and another of his associates Jonathan achieved a small miracle. Twice! Their thorough understanding of the law, procedure, the odds of pursuing one or another approach to my defense, and their ability to create a strategy and game plan for me then bring it to life, literally gave me back my freedom. Christine, a senior member of the firm and Destiny, Eric's Legal Assistant were equally impressive in the ways they made it possible for me to get the best possible counsel and outcomes. If you want the very best counsel and defense, hire The Law Offices of David Michael Cantor. I found them using a google search, was impressed by their site and my initial call to them, and was simply blown AWAY with what they achieved for me! If you are in need of representation for a DUI charge, I hope you read this. Then call them. They are incredible at what they do. One million "Thank you"s! KPJ

Eric obtained the absolutely best possible result for me in my case. I could not be happier with or more impressed by his representation. Eric is extremely knowledgeable about the applicable laws and the intricacies of the judicial and penal systems and provided wise and comprehensible strategic advice. I trusted his judgment implicitly and it paid off enormously for me. At the same time, Eric was reassuring, supportive, non-judgmental and a genuinely pleasant person.

As a retired Criminal Court Judge (18 years) and a licensed attorney in Illinois (32 years) I can unequivocally state that Sean Woods is one of the finest attorneys I have ever encountered in my legal career. Sean represented me in a contractual dispute that I had with a less than reputable contractor when I first relocated to Arizona. He not only resolved my case expeditiously but the result he achieved far exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of the law and the legal strategies he employed were brilliant. Sean Woods is an exceptional lawyer and I highly recommend he and his firm The Law Badgers.

In my experience, it has been very tedious and daunting to begin a conversation with an attorney, especially one at a law firm with other partners, etc. That is, usually law firms won't lend an ear, it seems, unless you pay $100-300 initial consulting fee, which is basically a $15 overview of your case and whether they think it's worthwhile$$$. However, not only was I surprised to see Attorney Rhatz offer a no-cost consultation, but he also kept it "real." He advised me with information that even seemed to work against his assumed interest in profit (i.e., he didn't try to exploit me for money), such as by providing me with self-help research suggestions, and even helped me put together an outline for my case. He didn't want me to lose more money winning with him (he didn't want me to spend so much money to retain him, that even if winning the case, I'd still be at a net negative dollar-loss). He gave me his undivided attention, asked questions that showed he actually paid attention, and was very resourceful with directing me towards credible sources of jurisprudence. What's more, is that he didn't throw me out after 15 minutes, but rather stayed with me until he felt I was sufficiently informed with the material and answers to questions to send me along my way. This man even read through all my notes and connected with me as a person. I also appreciated his aggressive, but civil, nature towards vanquishing the countering party. He is strategic, he is prepared to preempt the countering party's legal arguments by first calling them out himself, and sparks reassurance that he is sedulously and astutely on the case. Obviously, I would recommend attorney R Andrew Rahtz for the aforementioned reasons, despite only meeting with him one time on an preliminary consultation.

We started working with Andrew Rahtz 3 years ago as we had enlisted the help of Platt and Westby for a property issue we were having. We noticed from the beginning his willingness to listen, his attention to detail and his professional manner, which was very reassuring to us as this was our first encounter seeking legal assistance. During the many twists and turns of our case, Andrew was always prepared and represented us in a manner that we were proud of: intellectually informed and calm. He answered our many emails and phone calls in a timely manner, which was impressive knowing his other responsibilities were equally demanding of his time. This is an outstanding man that will do his best to seek a good result for your legal problems. We can recommend him to you with total confidence.

Mr. Kennedy represented me several years ago for a car accident case. I was injured and at the time I didn't have health insurance. Mr. Kennedy helped me get medical care and made sure that at the end of the day my settlement was fair and the bills I had to pay for medical care were also fair. I couldn't have been more pleased. You can't go wrong with Simon Kennedy.

After I had discussed my case with several attorneys who each advised that they had little confidence that I would prevail litigating the estate issues that I faced, I hired Gary to represent me. He is a consummate professional. While others viewed it an impossible situation, Gary systematically looked at every possible contingency and developed alternative plans supported by his keen understanding of the law. I can't imagine going through a horrible situation without such a competent attorney. Gary is a great advocate; honest, exacting, knowledgeable, and intellectually gifted. A fantastic lawyer!

Gary made a very difficult situation much easier. Gary had the knowledge and expertise to help me understand what was happening at every step. He kept me well informed and was always very responsive to all my questions. I will always be thankful for his support during such a difficult and emotional time.

Gary is an amazing attorney. He was actually referred to my family from a different attorney who does the same work. When the other attorney heard what we were trying to accomplish, he said we needed to call Gary because he is the best and he is absolutely correct! We were able to quickly get a guardian/conservator in place and he certainly turned a very difficult, stressful situation into a manageable one. He got things done with lightening speed as I'm sure this could been a long drawn out expensive case. It says a lot when another attorney will turn down business to refer you to best. You will not go wrong hiring Gary to represent you and we certainly appreciate and thank him for everything he has done.

After 28+ years' experience as a licensed real estate agent in the State of Arizona, I found myself involved in an earnest money dispute for the very first time. (I was the buyer). Although the seller/seller’s agent fought bitterly for my $15,000 earnest money, after the receipt of Aaron Green’s formal demand letter the sellers immediately signed the mutual cancellation form and title released my $15,000. I highly recommend Aaron Green. He is experienced, professional, compassionate, and reasonably price.

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.
