I asked an unusual legal medical question that Mr. Areshenko answered very quickly and succinctly. I'm going through a difficult time in my life right now with advanced prostate cancer, and he eased my anxiety about my current situation. Now I can go ahead and get the genetic testing my doctor advised for me without causing any issues that were concerning me. Thank you so much!

Raymond represented me in retrieving my classic car from an "alleged" auto restoration shop where my car had languished for several years. Raymond carefully listened to my story, then wrote a demand letter to the shop instructing them to release my car and related parts. The letter was perfect in tone and effectiveness.

Stephanie is a cross between Princess Diana and Erin Brockovich. She is beautiful, kind, selfless and endearing. She is also a fierce litigator who will do whatever it takes to get justice for her clients. My husband and I endured the most difficult times of our life when my husband and his business partner decided to part ways. From the second we met Stephanie, she made us feel important and like she genuinely cared about our case. She went above and beyond what you would expect from a lawyer while fighting and fighting until she won us what we had spent our whole lives earning. We will forever be indebted to her for what she has done for our family.

Rich was great. he communicated with me the entire time. He worked with me for over two years and was very patient whenever I had questions or didn't understand something. He always was honest about how he felt about my case and what the difficulties would be so that I was never caught off guard in the process.That type of honesty was greatly appreciated. I feel he went above and beyond to make it as pain free and stress free as possible.

As a person who did not have any knowledge on hiring attorneys..(who really does.) I consulted with a few. I ended up going back to Rich as he took time to talk and review my case with me. Always returned my calls/emails. Addressed my concerns and always dealt with the details. I ended up hiring him again when I got injured.. He kept me up to date and in the loop without pressures so I could heal. He is an excellent attorney who will go above for his clients.

Rich has handled 2 separate personal injury cases for me. He was excellent at handling all the legal stuff while I focused on healing. I wouldn't even think of hiring anyone else. He helped me find good doctors to make sure I got the best care for a speedy recovery. He took care of everything with the insurance companies. He was excellent at responding to me whenever I had a question.

Instant gratification for me lol Mr.Sumpter successfully won my litigation dispute !!! I referred him to my friend Shelly.

I hired Patrick Millsap to be my defense attorney in a DUI case. When I first went to his office I was at one of the lowest points in my life and was unsure of what to do next. There were quite a lot of unclear facts in my case that didn't seem to make sense, however, Mr. Millsap was able to lay out the legal facts in front of me and the court in an order that was very sensible and honest. Once I spoke with Patrick for the first time I felt as if the world had been lifted off my shoulders and it wasn't just me fighting this battle on my own. He made this entire process a million times easier than it would have been with some public defender that didn't actually care for my well being. I knew Patrick was going to defend me until the end and he did just that. I have recommended Patrick Millsap to friends and acquaintances since my case has ended and I will continue to do so. Not only was Patrick my attorney, but he became my good friend as well. I am forever thankful to Patrick and his willingness to help out a fellow man in troubling times. Patrick Millsap, a respectful, honest and loyal attorney and friend.

I consulted with Mr. Ching for advice on a small claims case. He could not have been more helpful; totally available, understood the situation/problem, outlined steps on how to proceed, and was accessible after the meeting, via email, for questions. My opinion is that a person can be sure they've hired the best when they've hired Mr. Ching.

My wife was in a car accident while driving a rental vehicle. The other driver was at fault and his insurance paid for the damages to the rental vehicle. Nevertheless, the rental company came after us for money we clearly didn't owe them. I found the situation stressful until Mr. Ching got involved. He was professional, organized and constantly on the ball. He actually took the time to meet me hours after the office closed, was available by text or email no matter what time it was, and he addressed all my concerns. He resolved the situation quickly and effectively.

My wife and I contacted Mr. Hsu by telephone after being sued by the buyer/new owners of our vacation home in Nevada. Since we reside in California, we went on line looking for legal representation and found Maupin/Cox/Legoy attorneys at law. After explaining our situation to the receptionists, we were put in touch with Mr. Hsu. We advised Mr. Hsu we were being sued for "Fraudulent Misrepresentations and Nondisclosures" in connection with the sale of our property in Nevada the previous year. After explaining everything to Mr. Hsu, he requested certain documents from us which we faxed immediately. Mr. Hsu then responded to opposing counsel within 24 hours explaining our rights, our truthfulness when completing the Seller's Real Property Disclosure Form (SRPD) and Nevada law pertaining to our case. After Mr. Hsu's letter to the opposing counsel, we never heard another word from opposing counsel about this matter. All of this was completed through emails, telephone conversations and faxes. Mr. Hsu is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend Mr. Hsu should you ever need an attorney. Thank you Rick!

Lars was by far the best lawyer I ever work with. I secretly mourn the day he left the practice of law for the glamour of big business. I'm certain he's a great asset to whatever project he is lending his skills. As a small business owner, I found Lars to be extremely knowledgable about a wide array of legal issues, and he was certainly the most proficient and trustworthy attorney I ever knew. I remember his gifted technical writing skills always captured both the important facts and the urgency and emotion behind one's dispute or legal issue, and he innately knew what information to detail and which part to reduce too. He probably prevailed on every single motion he ever presented on my behalf. I've retained half a dozen lawyers since, but I never did find anyone who could replace Lars. Someday I hope he returns to private practice.

We have had Mike Kealy for our attorney, both professionally and personally, for nearly 30 years. Mike's many strenghts include his ability to grasp situations that he may not have previously encountered, his preparedness, patience and willingness to take the time to explain all facets of a given proceeding. We have engaged Mike's services in real estate matters, both on the buying end and selling end, landlord/tenant issues, corporate and civil matters, insurance, litigation, and even a bit in estate planning. Not only do we find Mike's wealth of knowledge and expertise immense, we find that his motto of "prepare, prepare, prepare" certainly pays off on behalf of his clients. There is nothing worse than not knowing where you stand in a given situation and Mike never puts you in that position - he always keeps you informed, makes sure of your understanding, and keeps you apprised of any new developments.

I felt he cared. I highly recommend the Barber Law Group/Ryan McElhinney for any legal needs.

I didn't want to hire a lawyer. I thought I could do all relevant research myself. After extensive research of all applicable statutes, I concluded I needed a lawyer and consulted several. Elizabeth Bitter impressed me as the most knowledgeable. In fact she quickly provided the statute I needed and had merely glanced over. Ms Bittner accompanied me to court and was the key into the successful outcome of a complicated case.

Jarrad is very pleasant to work with, and more importantly he is very knowledgeable with regards to the law and does his "homework" to know and understand all that is taking place with our business issue.
Jarrad always makes himself available if we need to speak with on the phone, or if we communicate by email he is quick to answer. He also has an excellent paralegal who works closely with him, who is always available to discuss matters with or to pass on information to Jarrad.
In my opinion, Jarrad offers excellent advice, and represents us as if he were a part of our company. I highly recommend Jarrad to anyone who wants an intelligent and caring attorney.

I was put in contact with Ryan after sending an inquiry to the Primerus website. After receiving an e-mail response, Ryan and I spoke over the phone discussing aspects of my concerns with a previously signed Non-disclosure Agreement. Ryan was extremely helpful in presenting a clear explanation of my options as well as knowledge pertaining to such an agreement in its generality. At the time of leaving this review, I had not moved forward with the matter due to the conclusion that it would be un-necessary. However, I would not hesitate to proceed on subsequent steps with Ryan should the necessity arise.

From the very first moment I walked into Peter's office, I knew I was in good hands. He clearly had the experience and the ability to get me the medical treatment I needed and the maximum settlement I deserved. From the start I had complete confidence. I was treated with genuine empathy from Peter and his staff. My case manager (Diana) went above and beyond the call of duty in every way. All I had to due was go to the doctors and get the treatment I needed. Peter and his staff took care of everything. In the end, all of my bills were paid and I received the best possible settlement and didn't have to worry about any out of pocket expenses. Highly recommended.

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.
