Ryan Scott is the best defense lawyer. After our first meeting I knew for a fact that I was in the best hands I could be in. He’s very intelligent and what sets him apart from the rest is not only his expertise but that he cares a lot. I’m so happy that he took my case. He got me out of jail when the public defenders didn’t want to even try. Now I am not behind any bars.
If you’re looking up lawyers to represent you, stop searching now and hire Ryan you will not regret it. Thank you Ryan!

Jennifer was court appointed to me, and I feel fortunate to have had her assigned to my case. Her investigator was such a positive player on her team. I was told that Jennifer was a “Bulldog” and would work hard for me. She did just that! Having serious charges I was faced with.. my gal got my caseDismissed! Honestly she changed my life!

After determining that the only viable option for us in a dispute with our neighbor, was hiring an attorney, we found Mr. Hammond thru search engines and reviews. Our choice to go with Mr. Hammond fit our situation well.
Mr. Hammond had a very calming and reassuring presence, that helped greatly with navigating us through this process. He was honest with what to expect and came up with some very creative and resourceful options for us to consider. His knowledge and understanding was greatly appreciated. We would have him represent us again, if needed. S. Schroeder, Oregon

Let me tell you one thing, if there was an option for 7-star I would've picked it. I’m incredibly grateful to have had Jonathan Corey by my side during my divorce—a process that was far more complex and emotionally draining than I ever anticipated. From day one, Jonathan’s communication was clear, consistent, and compassionate. He patiently explained every step of the legal journey, answered my (many) questions without hesitation, and kept me grounded when the stakes felt overwhelming.
My situation involved defending against unfounded allegations across multiple fronts, including interactions with DHS and the civil court system. Jonathan’s attention to detail was remarkable. He meticulously reviewed every document, flagged inconsistencies in the opposing side’s claims, and built a strategy that prioritized facts over drama. What impressed me most was his calm, steady professionalism. Even when the process dragged on longer than expected, Jonathan never rushed or cut corners. He reassured me that patience would allow the truth to surface—and he was right.
Jonathan’s ability to balance assertiveness with respect for the process made all the difference. He never resorted to unnecessary conflict, but he also never backed down from defending my rights. His updates were frequent and straightforward, and he always made sure I understood my options without sugarcoating the challenges.
What truly sets Jonathan apart, though, is his integrity. He treated my case with the care and urgency of someone fighting for a close friend, not just a client. By the end, his dedication paid off: the falsehoods were exposed, and I could finally move forward with peace of mind.
If you’re facing a high-conflict divorce or legal battle, I can’t recommend Jonathan Corey enough. He’s the kind of attorney who fights tirelessly for fairness while staying grounded in what’s ethical and real. Thank you, Jonathan, for turning a nightmare into a resolution that protected my rights—and my sanity. You’re a rare find in this field.

Jonathan Corey was a great divorce lawyer to have on my side. I went through a tough divorce, was dealing with a large marital estate and a long term marriage. I was really worried about all of the complexities of our estate dealing with real estate, stocks, retirement accounts, precious metals, etc., not to mention children and all of the other things that have to be dealt with. Jonathon was a great communicator and dug into understand all aspects of the divorce. He was a real advocate for me and really helped me get the best case scenario for my situation. He was also very responsive and had amazing professionalism throughout the entire process. If you want someone that is on your side, cares about what happens to you and your children and gets you the best possible representation with the best possible outcome you don't need to look any further. Thank you Jonathan and the Corey Law Group!

Gavin Bruce, what to say… He is really just the best. It’s like an as seen on TV lawyer but he BACKS IT UP. I really can’t rave enough about Gavin— or GB as I call him. He keeps it professional but knows how to knock back a Costco pizza if the time comes. This lawyer really puts the GAVE in gavel. He also volunteers his time as a local mock trial coach and orphan saver. The kids cannot say enough good about him, I’ve heard they make fun of his bald head (the one drawback) but he takes it in good faith, just like his practice. Right now he is a federal prosecutor or as his convicted call him “satan spawn” but he only puts away the bad guys. If he ever comes out of retirement and starts his own practice let me tell you, he is the big man with a big plan.

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.

I recently had the opportunity to work with Jill Brittle, an exceptional family law attorney, during a challenging time in my life. Throughout the process of my divorce, Jill was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She took the time to explain every step clearly, ensuring that I was informed and comfortable with my options. Her attention to detail was impressive, and it was evident that she genuinely cared.
One of the aspects I appreciated most was her ability to communicate effectively. Jill was always available to answer my questions, whether via email or phone, and she responded promptly.

I tried to talk to Nik a few times about a legal issue I've been going through with my employer. On top of this, I was wanting to discuss just my rights in general as an employee and other things. I had emailed Nik a couple times and he didn't respond but I was determined to have ONE lawyer in Portland talk to me as a trans person. I paid Nik $100 ahead of time and wrote up the intake form with info all about what I was dealing with and other issues I was seeing in the trans community. I wanted help and to get what info I could out of a one hour session to help as many people as I could. Nik refused to help because I hadn't met a criteria but he also didn't read or acknowledge any of the details or questions I added to the intake form. He just offered to refund me and did.
I just wanted help. I dont want to grieve more friends because of shitty employers. I did get fired while on leave. I also got threatened with a 10 page psychotic letter calling me uncivil. This work ordeal put me into an IOP due to a suicidal ideation in June and I can't get anyone but my spouse to care. That's why the suicide rate is 41% for trans people. I don't wanna add to that but when it feels like you have people who specifically represent LGBT clients they'd show some empathy for them. Idk. It doesn't matter. I don't recommend Nik.

Scott and his team were excellent in supporting our family after my husband injured his back. A serious injury that puts the primary income earner in your family out of work for several months with an uncertain future is very scary. From immediately following the accident through navigating the medical system, insurance, to an eventual settlement Scott and his team were accessible, kind and extremely competent. We would highly recommend their firm!

My husband and I went through a very difficult time financially and ended up needing to file bankruptcy. We interviewed a few bankruptcy lawyers, and after talking to Kelly we were convinced we had found our lawyer. We couldn't be happier to recommend Kelly Jones. Kelly took the time to educate us about our options and helped us choose which bankruptcy option was right for us. He helped us, not only with the initial filing and court proceedings, but also with every detail that came up along the way - start to finish. We want everyone to know that we are happy clients and we are thankful for Kelly's help with our case. We appreciate the way he conducts his business, his responsiveness and his attention to detail. Thank you Kelly!

I hired Kelly to represent me, and this decision was validated every time I spoke with, emailed, or met with him. I would leave his office, hang up the phone, or read one of his email responses and feel instantly better. He was helpful, direct, and respectful throughout the entire process and gave thorough answers to my questions in a relevant way. No games. Straight answers, anticipating I'd make the decisions I needed to make based on my own judgement system and respecting whatever that might be. He was also very personable and sincerely seems to like his work and helping people. This is important!
You'll be doing the work (gathering documents, going through the budget courses, keeping track of communications from creditors, etc.), and you will want someone you can communicate well with and who welcomes your questions. Our conversations would always leave me feeling more optimistic and clear. I'd know what to expect from him on his end and what I needed to do on my end for whatever step was next in the process. His fees are reasonable, and he is clear when explaining them.
Right from the beginning, when I called to inquire about a consultation, the time I spent with him on the phone before even coming into his office was already more valuable than I had anticipated and gave me insight where others had left me with more confusion. While the work seemed daunting and could get emotionally overwhelming if I let it, Kelly was able to put me at ease every time I had any concerns at all. He helped me put this stressful situation into perspective and begin seeing beyond the bankruptcy. Kelly is kind, sharp, on top of updates relevant to your case, follows through, and is someone you can rely on. 5 stars is not nearly enough to express my gratitude and my faith in his work. I highly recommend hiring him.

Dan Sharp was my attorney through a year long, complicated case of fraud; I could not have asked for a better attorney. He was highly professional and well versed in dealing with a myriad of complicating factors. When there were difficult twists and turns, he never failed to discuss with his partner if it was necessary, ensuring that no stone was left unturned. Documents were reviewed very promptly and his recommendations were sent to me immediately with a request for feedback. His communication with me was exemplary, usually occurring on the same day as the event. At one point he went way out of his way to contact me internationally so that I wouldn't be surprised when I returned. If you are lucky enough to have Dan represent your case, you can be assured that the best possible outcome will be achieved!

I had an issue with my landlord regarding the term of my lease- landlord insisted it was for 1 year fixed term, I thought I had signed a month to month agreement. They said I would be responsible for the remaining rent of the lease, over $5k. After reading some great reviews about Dan, I reached out and he responded within an hour. He got me in for a consultation the next day where he looked over my contact and let me know I had a great chance of getting out of the lease without having to pay any penalty. He suggested that a letter to the landlord detailing why I am not responsible for the confusion or the remaining rent payments would be the best course of action. Through further research, he was also able to determine some particular factors in my situation that have me leverage and alluded to those in the letter. He even put in a demand for reimbursement of my legal fees! The landlord called me back the next day and apologized saying that they would sign the mutual release he drafted and the matter was finished within just a few days! Start to finish, Dan was extremely professional. He followed up promptly, laid out his fees clearly, and even credited the consultation cost toward that of writing the letter. His pricing was extremely reasonable, but I won't end up paying for it because Dan had the savvy to pass it off to my landlord! I cannot recommend Dan highly enough if you are in a tough legal situation- especially in a tenant/landlord disagreement.

I am so appreciative of the excellent help, competency, and kindness I received from Michael O'Brien and Ted Piteo!
I spoke with 7 bankruptcy firms, and because of my particular type of debt and amount of assets I have, none of them had a solution that helped me out - I was very worried about financial hardship without bankruptcy. Finally, I found O’Brien and Associates, and they were the only firm in the entire state of Oregon that had first-hand experience with a new part of the Chapter 11 code (subchapter V) – this is the route we took to succeed in my bankruptcy.
I worked with both of the firm’s attorneys, Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo. They are both highly qualified and competent, with complementary strengths that make them an excellent and formidable team. They are just honest, good people – I’d enjoy having them as neighbors!
Both Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo have a high degree of integrity, and I trust them both. For example, at one point, I understood Mr. O’Brien to have made a billing commitment, and when I saw something that seemed to not match that commitment, I called him up and we worked it out in a mutually acceptable, reasonable way that left me trusting him more.
My case was moderately complex (at least for a small business owner such as myself), and both Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Piteo did an excellent job of assessing potential weaknesses in my case and explaining potential outcomes, so I always felt secure knowing what potential pitfalls might come and how to deal with them.
Mr. O’Brien did high-quality and skillfully-nuanced settlement negotiations with one of my creditors (my ex-wife).
Mr. Piteo represented me during the pendency of my case in bankruptcy court. He did an excellent job of negotiating with one of my creditors to ease the way to getting my plan confirmed. He also was timely with answering my questions, and allaying my concerns by providing me with honest, accurate information. An added bonus is that Mr. Piteo is lively and fun, which made the entire process easier to handle, and I even enjoyed it!
Mr. Piteo did such an excellent job of litigating my case in bankruptcy court, to the point that the judge gave her ruling at the end of the hearing, and we won everything we proposed in the Chapter 11 reorganization plan. He also did an excellent job preparing me to testify, both with specific questions he’d ask me, and how to handle combative questions from my ex-wife’s lawyer.
I am so relieved I found O’Brien and Associates, that I could trust them, and I am very grateful for their great care, competence, and help in my 100% successful bankruptcy case. They delivered as they said they would, without surprises, and I highly recommend them.

If you are considering hiring Travis Mayor to represent you, do NOT hesitate! After two different attorneys told me there was no way to pursue a larger settlement than the measley one I was offered, Travis told me his plan to seek appropriate compensation for a colliision that took me months to recover from. And he delivered. The entire process with his firm was delightful - from his amazing team to his personal phone calls keeping me updated. I could not have asked for a better experience.

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.

Steve's a real guy who understands the real world and the way cops, DHS and the judicial system abuse power and civil rights. He was recommended to me and I recommend him to you. He's my guardian angel and I Iove him like a brother. He's totally human and can relate to the feelings of others. He's not a shrink, but he's not above heartfelt and healing words and "just talking." He's very funny too. He does his best to help you keep perspective when the world seems like it's falling down.
I owe Steve a debt which may be un-repayable in this lifetime. This was a near death experience for me and I now know just how interwoven and connected we are. Did Steve owe me karmically before or did we begin something this time around? He represented me when I was framed by Albany, Oregon police detective Glen Fairall for abusing my own children when he had actually abused them through going into their school, bullying and intimidating the administrator into letting him question (i.e. interrogate) my 6 year old daughter and subsequently ordering all three of my daughters (1,3 and 6 yrs) "examined" (state sanctioned child sex abuse) at ABC House because he couldn't find any evidence. He had wasted his time and probably realized he was looking bad so he blew his stack and went berzerk when I got an attorney and charged me with 3 counts of child sex abuse and a topper of RAPE to make things stick. The Grand Jury dismissed the rape charge but undoubtedly the DA George Eder easily pushed over the foggy and nebulous charges of sex abuse to get an indictment. After all that's what a Grand Jury is for: producing indictments. It's not hard when there's no judge and no defense representation! It's a trial in a vacuum...
Bathing your child, changing where they might see you, potty training them and comforting them when they're scared at night are readily spinnable as sex-crimes. He didn't charge my wife for doing these things, only me, the father. As detective Fairall said it's his "business".
Steve stayed with me through the whole thing and regularly came to Albany when needed (75 miles) during the 2+ years of horror, 4 preparations for trials (3 blocked by DA/courthouse shenanigans), DA calling an illegal mistrial and ultimately, 6 months later a 7 day trial and extremely fast exoneration. I hope you never have to hire Steve to defend you and you probably won't as long as you know that it's a bad idea to "talk to cops" and teach your loved ones likewise. "Anything you say can be used against you" IS FOR REAL. It's not just movies. If the cop feels like it your words will be spun, manipulated, taken out of context and even misquoted. All exculpatory evidence will be ignored. That's how the pros make probable cause." Don't be naieve. It could cost your life or that of someone you care for. Cops and DAs are allowed to lie and they do it a lot. They're rewarded for it. They'll lie to your kids too. The courts do not hold anyone of "the system" accountable. That means fraud, perjury, and forgery by cops are not seen as crimes in these kinds of cases. Only we can change the system and that is by exposing these guys, making them and their employers look bad and always demanding trials. But if you are getting railroaded, Steve may be able to help you. To say he saved my family and my life is an understatement. I recommend him with all my heart. --Dain S. A, Oregon

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!

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.

He was extremely personable and a very nice individual to speak with. The entire process was very smooth and very fast. He stayed in close touch throughout the situation and made me feel in the loop. Could not be happier.

I first contacted another attorney who cost me nearly $700 before I realized he was totally incompetent regarding Seattle dadu regulations I found Chris and within one week the issue I had was resolved.

Chris was the third attorney I hired and was easily the best of the three. My only regret was not hiring him sooner because Chris is a unicorn--he knows his stuff, will give you the facts, and is a pleasure to work with. Chris is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and generous with his time. He works hard for his clients, and his services provide a real value with very reasonable fees. I appreciate all his work and highly recommend him!

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.

In representing us, the lawyers were persistent, professional, and patient. They accommodated our needs and explained both the relevant law and how processes would apply to our case. They saw our case through to the end and worked through each step and "curve-ball" along the way. We hope we will never need their services again, but we would never hesitate to call them if we do. They have our highest recommendation as attorneys for anyone in need of representation for a medical malpractice case.

I had an excellent experience working with Jon Friedman. From the moment I contacted them, I felt supported and confident that I was in the right hands. Jon was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always made sure to keep me informed about the progress of my case.
He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the legal process, answered all of my questions, and made me feel like a priority. I highly recommend Jon to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. They genuinely care about their clients and go above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome!

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!!

My calls were promptly returned and Mr. Richardson provided great advice, allowing me to feel much more confident moving forward with my claim.

After having my car totaled and needing physical therapy for the injuries I sustained, the insurance company tried to pressure me to settle before I knew the full scope of treatment I would need over the next year. I am glad I went to PDX Law Group and worked with David Richardson, who helped me understand how to navigate this system without getting taken advantage of, prioritized my care and well being, and was clear and consistent with all communication. Not only that, but he advocated on my behalf when the insurance company tried to nickel and dime what they should pay for my treatment and called them out when they would back pedal on their word. Had I not worked with them, I likely would have wound up accepting an unfair settlement. Cannot recommend them enough!

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.
