I cannot say enough great things about Keith Stone and his team! From the very beginning, Keith was professional, compassionate, and dedicated to fighting for the best possible outcome in my case. He took the time to explain everything in detail, always kept me informed, and made sure I felt supported throughout the entire process. His expertise in personal injury law is truly impressive, and he was relentless in negotiating to ensure I received the compensation I deserved. His attention to detail and commitment to his clients set him apart from other attorneys. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy personal injury attorney who genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Keith Stone. He is an outstanding advocate, and I am incredibly grateful for his help!

My wife and I have been working with her oldest brother (85 yrs old) to help him with a Will and a Living Trust. For the past 3 years we have traveled from our home in Durand Mi. to San Diego to provide him with advice and provide any help he may need to get everything right. The more we worked the more complicated and confusing this procedure became, OMG were we Stumped. This year we decided we needed professional help. So, what do you do when your 2000 miles away and don't really know anybody in a big city like San Diego, GOOGLE IT! That's exactly what we did and came up with a bunch of names of attorneys that claim to be the best anywhere. We started making calls to see who we liked the best and would be able to take care of our issues. We left voice mails and asked to have someone contact us to set up a meeting. We encountered a few who were vague and after listening to what we needed really didn’t seem too interested. Then Jason, called us and we were so happy with his attitude and wiliness to complete the needed documents on a very short notice. Everyone in that firm seemed to want to help us get everything right, signed, and registered they even worked through the weekend. So, we could rest assured that we wouldn't be caught up in a nightmare with the probate courts. Thank you, Jason, and Ashley what a great feeling to know we made the right decision when we chose you

The team was amazing in helping us with our will and trust! They were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, supportive and patient with us as we figure out the best path forward to suit some of our very particular needs. It’s obviously not a fun or easy topic to discuss and they were so understanding of that giving us options and suggestions that could be relevant to us. And allowing us the time we needed to sort things out amongst our family. Sometimes we wouldn’t be able to resolve things easily so we would be at a standstill for a while between me and my husband but they were great about checking in regularly without creating any additional pressure. We also had some personal and particular road blocks that we come up against and Ashley was wonderful in giving us options and guidance around that. Both she and Jason were so kind and personable and professional. We had talked to several places before coming here and I’m so glad we did!

I was very lost and had no idea where to go or find the necessary help. Mr Farzad was very responsive immediately, he offered me help and explained my possibilities when unfortunately I was full of fear and also did not know my rights in marriage and in the country, since I am also an immigrant and English is not my first language. From the beginning Peter was very professional, understanding and patient, there were times when I was falling apart emotionally and felt that I could not continue with the process anymore and Peter always had a huge patience and words of encouragement for me to keep going. Peter does his job with great professionalism but also with empathy towards his clients, he is very good at fighting for what is fair, thus showing great ethics and commitment. I am very happy with the results, Peter fought and worked on every detail of the case and did not let himself be intimidated by the other party at any time. I infinitely appreciate all his help and I would not hesitate to recommend them or go to them again in the future if I need legal help. Thank you very much!

I was looking for a Family Law Attorney to help me with enforcing my Divorce Decree and during my search this was the only law firm during intake that took the time to look at my case file and find my ex had filed a request for order to try and take custody away from me. Right from the getgo Eric and Lanie were on point with walking me through the process and providing factual evidence to support my case. Eric was very levelheaded and knowledgeable during the hearing and the judge sided with us. I will from now on be utilizing Eric and his team from this point forward with all my legal matters.

I highly recommend Eric Schneider, he is smart, knowledgable, thorough and attentive throughout the process. Having a lawyer who pays close attention to detail can make a significant difference. That's really important, especially when safety is a concern. Eric made sure everything where the law is concerned is followed and carried out. He continues to be a great resource when I have questions and responds quickly. I would highly recommend Eric Scnheider. I am beyond pleased with my experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Bailey! I cannot express enough gratitude for the team at Purdy & Bailey LLP. After spending several hours searching for the right attorney to assist me with my case, I finally found them—and I couldn’t be happier. From the very beginning, their professionalism and in-depth knowledge of commercial litigation and contract enforcement were truly remarkable. They took the time to understand every detail of my case and provided insights that were both practical and reassuring. Their level of detail and expertise was absolutely phenomenal. What impressed me most was their ability to break down complex legal issues and present them in a way that was easy to understand. I felt supported throughout the entire process, and their dedication to my case was evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for an attorney who combines legal expertise with exceptional client service, Purdy & Bailey LLP should be your go-to. I’m incredibly thankful to have found them and am confident in recommending their services to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with John Clune and the rest of the team at Guy Levy Law. This was my first time needing an injury lawyer (and hopefully my last) and I feel so lucky that I found John. I’ve seen so many family members and friends go through nightmare situations with attorneys and cases; I had the complete opposite experience. I was mauled by two Pit Bulls that left me severely injured and out of work. While enduring one of the most painful and stressful situations of my entire life, John made me feel like he was truly fighting for me every step of the way. His effort and skill as a lawyer helped me come out on top with my extraordinarily complicated case. I’m so grateful for him and the rest of the team.

Being represented by John Clune changed my life - do not take those words lightly. He was able to successfully argue my case in front of a jury which decided to award me 4 times what the insurance company was offering to settle. Truly, a life changing sum but he was also extremely professional and knowledgable throughout the entire process.

Also, every time you go to their office they give you the best chocolate that you can't get anywhere else.

When searching for a trust attorney I came across Maya Pinchman at Ratners & Pinchman.  What an amazing experience after an arduous search for a trust attorney! She gave me all the time on the phone to hear my case and offered great options without an initial hourly fee.  I knew I had found the right person to help me with setting up my trust.  She offered excellent solutions for my situation and was great with the execution of my trust.  Maya is kind, understanding and professional.  She has always been available to promptly answer my questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone that would like to acquire an honest and competent attorney.

They do the same thing to others I was promised so much and they have not done a single thing. My lawyer didn’t even show up to my court date and said he sent somebody else. I have my life endangered and he was supposed to help me get a restraining order. It has been two months since he has gotten back to me. I have had Sean as my lawyer for a year and he has only lost me everything with no communication.

I had an unfortunate situation where an Uber driver hit me and then falsely accused me of assaulting him. Despite trying to explain my innocence to the responding officer, I found myself needing legal help to clear my name. That’s when I got in contact with Sydney Rusch, and what a relief that was. From the start, Sydney and David put me at ease, walking me through their plan with confidence and clarity. Sydney's proactive approach was impressive—she answered my questions before I even had to ask. It was reassuring to feel like I had a dedicated team genuinely looking out for my best interests. When the court date arrived, Sydney gave an outstanding performance, fighting hard on my behalf. The result? Everything was dismissed and thrown out of court. Sydney Rusch is an incredible lawyer, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you need someone in your corner, she’s the one to call.

A Google search and a phone call and we were fortunate to find the absolute best criminal defense law firm in San Diego! The fact that David personally answered the phone and took the time to listen and assess our family member’s situation spoke volumes to us. The entire team at of David Silldorf Law are experienced, professional and aggressive in their pursuit for the best outcome for their clients. We hired David Silldorf, Gary Gibson and Sydney Rusch after that first initial call for our family member in San Diego and we instantly knew we made the right choice. Being out of state ourselves, the entire team took care of everything, kept us informed along the way, thoroughly answered every question that we had and genuinely cared about our entire family. Without going into specific details of the case, the only offer that was extended was 9 years and 8 months in prison for a first time offender. David’s team fought and in the end our family member was sentenced to 30 days at a treatment center and probation. David’s team literally saves lives. They got us the best resolution for our family member that will allow them to get back on track and be successful in life. We will be forever grateful for David, Gary and Sydney for all the work they have put in these last 9 months that allowed us to have peace of mind about this entire situation. Special shout out to Sydney Rusch for her continued support, help and getting things done!! We highly recommend the entire team at David Silldorf Law if you are in need of a criminal defense lawyer for yourself or your family member. If you have serious concern about having the best defense in a time of need, there is no need to look and search any longer. Pick up the phone!

All in all they were easy to work with, and I appreciate their time and results. If I were ever in a similar situation I would definitely reach out to them again. I advise others to do the same as they were the most reputable of the law firms I connected.

Wirtz Law and my attorney Daniel Inscore provided top notch representation in a Lemon Law matter. They kept me readily informed throughout the entire process, and I was lucky to have Mr. Inscore and his team representing my interest and getting me the best possible result. I highly recommend Wirtz Law and Mr. Incscore.

Working as a Realtor and being a homeowner I have learned just how important a great trust is to a family. Steven Bates is someone who knows his craft and keeps his clients from having headaches on top of heart ache. I do not hesitate to refer Mr Bates to our clients when they need legal advice of this nature. He has done workshops to educate our home owners on the value of trusts and why they are important.

My wife and I found Bob Weaver with a Google Search because we needed a lawyer to deal with a disreputable contractor that was trying to extort us for purported work he had done on investment real property we owned in San Diego. This legal work to stop this illegal activity was way beyond what we were expecting. He is good! Later, he helped us with our home search as our real estate broker and with the mortgage process. We have the highest regard for Bob and the services he offers to clients. Highly recommended.

Danny is generous with his time, forthcoming, and attentive to clients' needs. I appreciate his knowledge, his willingness to help, his stature and his seriousness when it comes to even the smallest of legal problems. He will make himself available and he will tell you how it is. I used Danny's services to set up a Trust, I relied on Danny when I had a business location issue, and I called on Danny when I had a labor dispute. Each time, Danny was there for me. He told me how it was and helped me to the fullest capacity. Danny is not the type of person you meet and instantly want to hug, but when he comes through, guns blazing, you won't stop hugging him. He's not a bullshiter, he's a doer, and everything he's done for me was quality work and didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I really appreciate Danny as an attorney and as a friend.

I highly recommend Attorney Douglas if your car is a lemon. I drove a brand-new Tesla for a year and had to take it in for service six times due to screen issues. I researched many lemon attorneys on Avvo and chose this firm because Douglas was the only attorney who explained legal terms in plainEnglish, making sure I understood everything. English is not my first language, and his patience and clarity made me confident I was in good hands. Douglas was kind and took the time to explain everything to me. Douglas and his team kept me updated on each step and followed up regularly. Although I live in Northern California, working with him from a different city was no issue at all. Since I work full-time, I returned the car over the weekend, and his team was incredibly helpful in organizing a convenient time. I received my check within three weeks after returning the car, which was very fast. I’m so happy to finally be rid of my lemon car. Thank you SO much, Douglas and team!

When I first reached out to Doug, I was frantic, as I had already wasted time getting bad advice from another firm. Doug and his team understood my urgency and responded in kind. They have been patient with me, clear with what to expect and aggressive with my case. They set me on the right track as far as what I should expect and explained the whole process. Once the paperwork and info were completed, they completely took over. I never had to do anything but wait to hear from them. The office staff was also very professional and kind (big thanks to Eivie for always following up when I lagged!!).

Do you think you have a lemon of a vehicle? **********CALL DOUG SOHN!********* He and his staff are super nice and really pay attention to every detail, and they made this process so easy for me. I leased a beautiful new 2022 RAM 1500 right off the showroom floor. But within just a few hundred miles I was already taking it in for repairs. I took it in 9 or 10 times in less than two years. Thankfully, I have a lemon-law lawyer in the family, so I called Doug to see if I had a case. He had me gather every work order (pre-work) and invoice (post-repair) and email them to him. The service department didn’t have any problem emailing copies to me, either. THAT made everything so much easier, too. I did have a case, and in a phone consultation, Doug walked me through the process. The whole process took about 6 months. And now I have a small chunk of change that I had not expected to have. Contact Doug Sohn if you think you have a lemon.

Murphy Law Group was vital in getting California BRN to approve my RN license reinstatement. This is the 'go to' firm for help with professional licensure! My case seemed overwhelming to me because I had a prior history with the BRN complicated by the fact that I did not complete nursing diversion several years back. I thought it was hopeless to try to get my license back. However, Kevin Murphy and this firm's diligence and focus truly cut through the obstacles of my case and got me the best possible outcome I could hope for. I had a hearing with the board and Kevin really fought hard for me. He was amazing during the hearing and got me the most favorable decision. I was granted permission to reinstate my license without nursing probation. I cannot tell you the peace of mind and confidence that Kevin Murphy and his team helped provide me. If you have an issue with your professional license-- call this firm right now! Do not wait to get your life and career back. This is the attorney that can truly help you. The staff is wonderful. Alynn Fracelmont, his paralegal, was responsive and easy to correspond with. They were all very clear and direct about what was required in order to obtain victory. They know how to get the job done and were always up front about what outcome could be expected and I truly appreciated that integrity. I could not have done this without them. Thank you!

I am a CPA and I hired Kevin Murphy and his team to assist me with a California Board of Accountancy investigation matter. As you can imagine, when you get an investigation notice, it's easy to lose hope and fall into depression. You start thinking that your license, ability to practice, and livelihood are at stake. I have spent countless sleepless nights filled with fear and anxiety, stressing that I won't be able to provide for my family and that my reputation will be ruined. I was fortunate to be referred to Kevin and his team. Kevin is a fighter, and you want to have a fighter in your corner when you have a serious matter that could jeopardize your license and ability to provide for your family. In addition, he possess an outstanding EQ, is extremely well spoken, is sharp, and very energetic. He inspires you to fight for yourself, your license, and your livelihood. You have no excuse when you see him and his team fighting so hard for you. From the first meeting with Kevin, I knew I was in the right hands. Kevin was able to lift my spirits, explain the exposure, and describe clearly the investigative process. He and his team prepared a masterful strategy to defend me and my license. At the onset of the matter, we defined the optimistic, likely, and pessimistic case scenario. Thanks to the hard work of Kevin, and this team members Kim and Alyn, we were able to beat the optimistic case! They literally delivered the best possible outcome, which I didn't think was even possible! I went from being in fear, full of anxiety, and starting to regret becoming a CPA to becoming a confident and happy professional again. I am so grateful to have met Kevin. To say that Kevin and his team exceeded my expectations is an understatement. They smashed through any expectations I had and exceeded them 1,000x. Kevin, Kim, and Alyn are the best team. I would recommend them to my friends, family, and any other CPA or professional facing a challenge to their professional license.

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.
