Rob Lorree is a very intelligent and diligent attorney. He cares and communicates with his clients. Of upmost concern, he is able to quickly understand complex claim issues and render legal advice that makes sense. I would recommend him to my family if they had questions about an insurance claim.

The first two reviews you see here are from two vindictive mothers, trying to keep children away from the fathers.
If you want fairness justice, abd somebody who will actually fight for you. Hire her she will not let you lie you cannot make up lies. You cannot be vindictive. She will help you down to the bottom. Another lawyer practically stole my money and I ended up with L Gavito. At first I thought she was rude with how short she kept phone calls and I was getting and thinking my case is just another pile for her. Nope she called me out nowhere to me to go get my kids for the spring break.
She will work on your case even when you think she is not. LET HER COOK as they say.
I’m 3 Months into my custody against a spiteful person. I wish I hired Gavito from the start.
She CARES

Went to Royal Lea with a Real Estate Fraud case that I had done almost all of the evidence gathering. He even told me it was as close to a 'slam dunk' as it gets. He completely dropped the ball during mediation after talking privately with the other attorney and wanted me to take an agreed judgement (which took me 15 YEARS TO COLLECT). l fired him immediately and took on the collection of the judgment myself. By the time I actually collected the judgment, it wasn't even enough to cover the cost of repairing the building which the case was originally based on.
FIND A DIFFERENT ATTORNEY IF YOU REALLY WANT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEIR STUFF.

I first met Royal when he sued a client. He handled himself very well, demonstrated deep knowledge of securities law and litigation procedure, and was a worthy adversary. He is very comfortable in a class action or individual claim and as zealous in mediation as court. Top notch.

Royal Lea is in my opinion the best attorney in the country. My cases lasted approximately 18 months and I have never seen a more competent, professional, prepared attorney. As a result of his expertise, both of my cases settled with an outcome that was beyond our expectations. We would all prefer to avoid legal circumstances in general, that being said, situations arise and when they do the attorney is absolutely the key to being successful. I would recommend Mr. Lea to anyone requirng legal advice/service and I would certainly use him again should I ever require legal assistance.

When I met Maribel I was lost. I couldn’t get my previous lawyer to return my calls or answer my emails. Within an hour of meeting her she was on the phone and working my case. Seeing her in action during litigation cemented the fact that she was the right person for the job.
I have trusted her with my most valuable treasures...my Family. I would trust time and time again.

Mrs. Cruz was very passionate about my case. She was always very personable, professional and a strong fighter in the courtroom. She was good with moving the case along and was always open to hearing my concerns. I'd highly recommend her.

Extremely slow on preparing and filing for a case. Very expensive was being charged $100 per text message that went to her paralegal. When it came time for the case she was to busy and had to pass my case off to another lawyer. With other lawyer we basically had to start all over as she was not involved or familiar with my case from the beginning. All of this was being charged to me so it was like I had to pay for two lawyers. When the court date finally arrived the new lawyer which was Miss Day appointed by Miss Cruz was very unknowledgeable and the case was thrown out. I wouldn’t hire either of them two as all they do is try and drag it out as long as possible to be able to charge you more hours.

I hired Kevin Stouwie in Feb of 2017 because my husband was continuously denied parole for the past 6 years. I finally was in search of a parole attorney. I called on the weekend and left a message for someone to return my call. He called me directly back on Monday and informed me that it was unusual for him to return phone calls, but his office help was out for the day. He was very attentive and asked multiple questions and explained the parole process and what his role would be. He truly cared about helping my husband be released. He didn't understand why he kept being denied parole. He frankly told me that sometimes all it takes is an attorney fighting for an incarcerated loved one and perhaps just asking WHY? He gained my trust and I felt like I was making the right decision in hiring him. I couldn't afford the full $2500 at the time, and he gladly arranged a flexible payment plan for me to pay it in full over the next 6 months before his parole review began. Also, I paid an additional $300 because I opted for Kevin to visit with my husband at his unit as well. This $300 was just for travel expenses and I had no problem with the amount. Over the next 6 months I would feel uneasy and want to ask questions, I sent all items requested to help his office prepare a parole packet... I would call and ask questions just because I was a nervous wreck. His staff was always helpful and encouraging and always available to assist me. I didn't speak with him directly again until after the parole hearing. They called me a week before and informed me of when the parole hearing would take place with Kevin and I was filled with anxiety and worry and just a ball of emotions!! Office manager Heather gladly talked to me and advised me of what to expect. Now, my husband is coming home! I wish I had hired Kevin 4 yrs ago! He definitely fights for his clients and wins!! Thank you Kevin Stouwie!! I'm eternally grateful for your help in restoring my family!!!

I was not a big fan of lawyers, but needed one because of a lawsuit that was filed against me for a contract dispute. I was given Kevin's name and one other attorney. I called both places. The other guy didn't call me back. So, I met with kevin after one of his assistants got my facts and information and scheduled an appointment. He was not what I expected, and that's a good thing. He was really nice, and made me feel welcome while he was reading all my paperwork. He asked me a bunch of questions, took notes, and then he told me my options, including options that did not involve him getting anything. I never felt like he was trying to scare me or get me to hire him. Once I saw he didn't need my case and just wanted me to make an informed decision, I knew he was trustworthy.
He ended up chargingd me a lot less than what others had told me lawyers charge, and he got the job done without taking forever. He was always available via email, but it was sometimes difficult to get him on the phone, due to his busy schedule I guess.

Steven Redgate and his "team" are a joke. I hired him about 5 years ago to obtain my permanet residence and it was a disater at the end. When I first met with Mr. Redgate he promised me that would go to all hearings and when it came down to going he didn't know There was one scheduled and on top of that he wanted to charge me extra for going. He stated in the beginning that my fee would cover all that but it didn't. I ended up going to the meeting by myself but luckly for me I becaom a permanet resident.Thanks for nothing Mr. Redgate.

I have seen the other reviews and I do not understand how people would say those things. Mr. Redgate handled my immigration case and told me that it would be difficult from the very beginning. He told me my options and explained everything that he could do. He also told me to talk to other lawyers so that I would be sure that I was comfortable dealing with whoever took my case. I took his advice and did speak to other lawyers but after listening to them decided to go with Mr. Redgate. The case took a long time to complete and we had to go to several hearings, but we were successful!

I was referred to Mr. Garza to represent me. We spoke several times, and he agreed to represent me. He was going to send me the representation agreement that day, or the next day. No agreement arrived. There were several more phone calls, several more promises of a forthcoming representation agreement. Meanwhile, other persons, who required the name of the person who was representing me, were becoming frantic. After about 2 months, when no agreement arrived, I gave up - and found another attorney. I never heard from Mr. Garza after the last phone call I made to him, when he yet again promised to send me the agreement.

Lack of communication, professionalism and basic courtesy. Secretary doesn’t have a clue when he is in/out. Asked to call back and he wasn’t there, asked to call back on Saturday. Emailed to confirm he was there on Saturday and secretary failed to respond. Mr Bryant left a vm that he would send email to address contract issues. No response to emails, voicemail or text messages. Phone appointment set up and no call. No communication to address. Finally received text from Mr Bryant stating that he would send email addressing contract. He was busy dealing with family and kids. Since that text, no communication whatsoever from secretary or Mr Bryant. Left voicemails, many emails and text messages, no response. Wants a high dollar for subpar nonexistent services. If he didn’t want to handle case, simple communication would suffice instead of wasting my time and aggravation.

Do not hire, you will get burnt, he will take your case so far and then quit, walk away, leave you hanging. You will be forced to hire another lawyer, to clean up his mess and finish the case, and it's not cheap. He will sit on a bad ruling because he wasn't prepared and that will hurt your case, on top of that you will get the pleasure and "expense" of filling an appeal that isn't cheap and then do the trial again. Of course I had to give him one star, because it requires something, too bad it doesn't have negative stars .

Me. Denton has been a very down to earth. He shows a interest in our case. He’s straight forward and has not come off as a money grubbing lawyer. I truly feel he has our best interests at hart and is willing to be straightforward on billing. Any intelligent lawyer needs to be compensated for there time but fairly of course. He is very intelligent, makes us comfortable and has made us very happy at this point.

Matthew was not responsive throughout the process. He said it would be $1K to help me. 5 weeks after paying him I still had no information on next steps, he kept saying he would write a letter. After 5 weeks of no action I asked for my money back and he kept $250 due to a phone call we had. I would not recommend him.

This is a volume business..A cottage industry. If you get to meet with the chief lawyer, you will be the recipient of a favor. Intakes are handled by non lawyers or, if you are fortunate a an associate.
What struck me was the complete lack of compassion for my case and my medical condition.
My confidence in this lawyer is zero.
It is all about the money.

Due to major medical errors by my orthopedic surgeon, I am now living with the most painful chronic disease known to mankind. Our land/property attorney referred me to Samuel W. Royston to handle a medical malpractice case for me. We received NO communication from him for almost a year, other than through our property attorney. He never followed through with anything and deserves no less then a ZERO star rating. Because of his unprofessional attitude and lack communication, our case lapsed past the time when it was no longer a viable case. When he finally met with us, it was simply to apologize for not doing his job and to inform us that our time to file a suit had passed. Of course we were cognizant that there was a time limit, therefore our experience with Mr. Royston was an exercise in futility from beginning to end. Both my husband and myself would strongly suggest that you look elsewhere for an attorney.

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.
