I had the privilege of working with the firm O’Brien, Coleman and Wright on a very emotionally charged case and I would highly recommend them. Alec Wright agreed to take on my case despite knowing that it would be a difficult one to prove culpability. I was most impressed with his knowledge and expertise in trying similar cases, his professionalism and dedication to seeing my case through till the end. In the three plus years my case took, he regularly reached out to me with updates and patiently answered all my questions and educated me on the legal processes we were facing. I had full and total trust in his abilities, and felt confident he could get justice for my son. His level of compassion towards me throughout the process was something that I will not soon forget . Thanks to his perseverance and hard work, my case was settled favorably during mediation. His convincing arguments were very impressive and persuasive . This mom finally got the closure she needed and have Alec Wright to thank for that.

Attorney Pollock was quite helpful. The matter we consulted him about was a little unusual and other lawyers we called were not interested. He showed a lot of flexibility in taking the case and how he handled it.

Attorney Pollock was hired to help me with my divorce and custody hearings. He walked me through the process with ease and answered any questions that I had about my case quickly. He is witty, enthusiastic and smart. Jeff is determined to make sure things run smoothly, fairly and promptly. I would use him again if needed, but hoping that there is no need for that in the future.

Shopping around for somebody to help me Put motion in to have my custody order modified. I got his name off of neighborhood legal services. Every time I call this man he comes off cocky, rude, and arrogant, and he will not answer one question without discussing a payment I wouldn’t hire him to represent a dog just based off of the first impression I don’t feel like he would do a good job for me being somebody who has PTSD and anxiety and has been through so many bad experiences with the system to finally feel like you might have found somebody that came highly recommended to turn around and have them treat you like you are beneath them. I don’t think that I would ever want to represent me, so my opinion would stay clear of him. I need somebody that is really going to help me and it doesn’t cost every time. I ask the question. I understand attorneys don’t come cheap, but if I’m going through a special service It’s because my income is fixed Afford one of the bed is attorneys in the city I wouldn’t be calling on him. Do neighborhood legal services common sense For future reference, I would give him the advice that First impressions are everything not to mention you only get one and he does not give off the best

From the experience I had with John Morris, I would not recommend to anyone. I was told at the beginning of my son’s divorce that should be know more than $3000. Only because he doesn’t have any assets at all nor did his ex wife. There are no children involved. Two years later after the ex finally decided to sign the paper work, we get an invoice of an additional $3500 dollars. They said he spent 16 hours on a divorce that had no assets, absolutely no property and no contest. It was just sitting on his desk waiting for the ex to sign. My son was charged $6500 for this. This is unethical.

Nobody prepared me for what I experienced, suddenly things happened and when I turned around, I was going through the most difficult moment I have ever lived, away from my country, my Spanish language and my family.
I am so grateful to put myself in the hands of Attorney Martin's professionalism and empathy, from the first contact he worked on my case, his defense made me feel safe, he and his team Mallory not only held my hand in the most difficult moment, they helped me achieve my freedom the most precious thing that a human being can have, They helped me recover.
Thank you to the firm L.M. Martin Law for handling my Divorce case, to your attorneys Martin and Furnace, for their excellent work, for their professionalism, empathy, honesty, humanity I will always say has been the best money invested.
I highly recommend and hope that my testimony will serve, so that people who are going through a difficult time and are looking for a legal defense can come to you and solve it.
Always grateful.

I was referred to Nick DiNardo of Very Law by the Allegheny County Bar Association Attorney Referral Program. Nick was professional and knowledgeable in addressing my issue, and didn’t hesitate to take the time to delve into aspects of various courses of action. He weighed methods and outcomes with easy-to-follow explanations. Nick conveyed important thoughts with a down-to-earth, easygoing demeanor and suggested sound alternatives for resolving my concerns. Thank you, also, to Jessica, the initial contact who scheduled my appointment with Nick. She, as well, demonstrated thoughtful caring in listening to my story and making the arrangements for Nick to call me soon after that same day. Thank you!

From the very first time we talked with crystal and sometimes Bethany they took care of every need, concern, and obstacles! They explained everything to us in our terms so we clearly understood every step. Always got back in reasonable timely manner. They drafted a divorce didn’t matter the other party refused to sign. Every single motion got returned in the mail (anything to make this more difficult) so we also had the pleasure of dealing with CSI serving papers for us at least 5 times and again very fast and easy to work with! We have friends that started a divorce before us and ours is final and they are still in the process! Also at the end we were crunched on time trying to sell a house (couldn’t until we had the paper) and again crystal said I don’t care if I have to walk it over to the judge we will get this done! They did not disappoint any obstacle they quickly had the next step in motion!

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.
