Brittany Taylor was appointed as the Receiver for my father's probate case. The house reportedly sold months ago, but she has failed to send me a notice of proposed action, and never updated me or my attorney on the sale. She has ignored all my attorney's calls over the past few months, and the funds should have been distributed by now, or months ago. I am incredibly frustrated by her lack of communication with both me and my attorney, her refusal to send the notice prior to the house sale, and the continued delay in distributing the proceeds. Her ongoing disregard for my emails and calls is highly unprofessional and deeply frustrating.

Mr. Urmin recently acted as my attorney, providing consultation and guidance as well as an expertly crafted cease and desist letter. And, I have been able to rest easy for some time now, no longer having to worry as much about the spectre of a former employer making illegal threats to my business to the effect of tortious Interference with contracts. I feel that Mr Urmin dutifully silenced the malicious party and put the potential of the intent to harm to rest. For that I am thankful, and I feel as though paid a fair and reasonable rate for his representation. I would definitely seek out his services again, if needed. And, I wouldn't hesitate to refer others to him for a range of employment, business and contractual cases, as he is clearly at the top of his profession and a man of true integrity.

Mahtab Doty is an amazing lawyer. My previous apartment complex wrongfully filed eviction on me after my apartment burned down due to their negligence. Mahtab went to court ready to rock and got everything dismissed. She is very professional and super nice. I always feel so comfortable around her, more like a friend than a business relationship. I will definitely be using her services when needed in the future!

I worked with attorney Stephanie Russ from the Mullin firm and Stephanie provided excellent service. She is extremely knowledgeable on Franchise law and agreements as well as she was able to provide insight to what items I could expect to negotiate and gain agreement versus ones where I should ask but not be surprised if the franchisor would not negotiate. It was all very valuable information and as a result I was able to meet with the franchisor and run through every item with confidence and ease. The negotiations were successful and I owe it to the advice and guidance from Stephanie.

My attorney, David Burrows, is an exceptional legal professional who provides exceptional assistance to individuals facing DWI charges. He possesses a deep understanding of the legal process and is highly regarded as one of the most skilled or even the best DWI attorneys in the Dallas-DFW area. David recognizes that individuals make mistakes and are capable of change. He offers financial assistance by collaborating with your finances to create a manageable payment plan that aligns with your schedule. This ensures that you are not burdened by the financial stress of an attorney. Shortly after my release on bail with Action Bail Bonds on June 30th 2024, David promptly scheduled a Zoom meeting with me to discuss my case. He provided valuable insights into the challenges I might face due to the arrest in Rockwall County. He explained that Rockwall County is known for its stringent arrest and release policies, making it a formidable adversary. Despite these obstacles, David demonstrated remarkable skill in negotiating a favorable outcome. He successfully reduced my probation or jail sentence from 24 months or more to 18 months of probation, 40 hours of community service, the installation of a vehicle device, attendance and completion of DWI education classes, and a reduction in court fines, fees to an affordable amount. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have David as my attorney. I will continue to rely on his expertise and guidance, hoping to never face another DWI charge. However, I am more than willing to refer him to those who genuinely require an attorney who understands, listens attentively, responds promptly, and acts professionally and reasonably. If you seek an attorney who embodies compassion, empathy, and a genuine desire to assist others, I highly recommend David Burrows.

Mr. Fowler is a very wonderful person and a GREAT lawyer. He helped me protect my children, when I thought all hope was lost! Even though the visitation was resolved, he is still there with a personal touch to comfort me with the on-going child support questions. I still have to go to court, Mr. Fowler always returns my calls, to answer any questions I have about the case with the Attorney General. Simply because the NCP has to take drug test and supervised visits. He (NCP) has really done niether in 4yrs. I worry about him (NCP) changing visitation. Mr. Folwer is very calming and only states the facts, that if you are in the right , clam you down. He is not like other lawyers I've had in the past the leave you "HANGING" on the phone, or worse in the hall at the court house! Thank You for Your Time... GOD BLESS

I hired John to assist in my child custody suit. It was truly a blessing to find him! I can't begin to tell you the difficulty of this case. We actually had a 3 day jury trial! Which in the end, with John's knowledge, his diligence in researching every avenue to find the truth, and just his overall passion to assist me in something so important as the outcome of my daughters life, the jury sided in my favor. My family, my daughter and I are forever grateful. I can't even begin to thank him enough. Looking back on this experience, I hope to NEVER have to go through anything like this again. But... If I had to do it again.. I would want John by my side!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success.
  3. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
