Dan recently represented me in a partnership dispute that eventually ended with a jury verdict in my favor. He did an outstanding job at trial with almost all major issues being decided by either the judge or the jury in my favor. After the verdict was entered, we had a chance to talk with most of the jurors, and they almost all expressed comments that were consistent with my opinion of Dan's performance.

I have worked with a few lawyers before but none have given me the courtesy and respect that I deserve. She was informative and treated me like a person, not just a client. More lawyers should be like her and take the customers feelings into account.

Alexia has done some fantastic work for my LLC, both interpreting and creating a wide variety of agreements, (Licensing, Publishing, Employment, etc). She exceeding my expectations in regard to turn around time, responsiveness and overall legal knowledge. Her ability to get to the issue and present resolutions is uncanny. Through working with her I feel I truly have an advocate for the continued success of my business. I've become accustomed to go to her first for all of my legal needs whether business related or personal, and I will continue to recommended her to my colleagues as well as friends and family.

We hired Ms. Stratton to assist us with a contractor we hired to remodel our home. They tried to serve us a bill nearly 50% more than our original bid. This is not an unusual practice when it comes to home building, but these guys were hiding costs and doubling time and supplies unnecessarily. We were unable to see how they were coming to the amount of the final bill. Ms. Stratton took our case and reviewed all the documentation of the remodel, such as change orders, how they were provided, how they calculated their hours and supervision and, through her expertise, brought transparency and clarity to our case. She ended up uncovering change orders that were not written correctly or given to us in a timely fashion per the law. She also discovered that we were being billed at a 300% mark up over our original contract vs. doubling the cost and time as how the billing should have been done. We wouldn't have been able to successfully dispute these charges without her expertise in the laws of business. She maintained professionalism and respect for all sides during our dispute. We were very impressed by her and would highly recommend her.

Our office has worked with Mike for a number of years. I have used him for both my personal and business accounts and have referred a number of clients to him.

A number of my clients have called to thank me for referring Mike and his quality services.

Hi, I fully recommend Attorney Stone because of his in depth knowledge and vast experience. I came across to this law firm when I needed miserably and ASAP. I found this law firm in google and then checked the web page. There I found that Attorney Stone has huge experience in civil litigation of all the types I know which include the international exposure. I came across to many well ranked lawyers around (some were above 9 in avvo.com) but after meeting him, I was confident that this is what I should go with. The best quality I will say is that he is responsive and when not in trial we can always reach to him either by phone or mail. You will never feel alone. Secondly, he will tell you how judge will look in this matter so we know where we are. Thirdly and most important, he was so kind to grant me the flexible plan for payment which was not much seen in many law firms around specially in San Diego. The hourly fee was affordable and staff was always supportive to convey all the messages. I am still in touch with this attorney even after successful end of my case. I strongly recommend this attorney and this law firm as a best choice

I retained Warren Treisman in November 2019 because I was injured in a car accident. As I had never been injured in a car accident before, he far exceeded my expectations. He and his office staff went above and beyond to help me through the process. His staff was extremely kind, friendly and supportive and they were very helpful in answering all of my questions.
Mr. Treisman kept in close communication with me and explained everything in terms that I could understand. He is very thorough and knowledgeable and, above all, he is honest, ethical, and dedicated. Since I had several pre-existing conditions, he had to review all my reports from my numerous doctors. He was amazing in choosing what was relevant to my case. He was a strong advocate for my case and was able to obtain a very generous settlement (which included compensation for my chiropractor)!
I would strongly recommend Mr. Treisman to anyone seeking a Personal Injury attorney!

From day one, Mr. Treisman said he would diligently work on my behalf and best interest to resolve my case and he did exactly that. He was patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, ethical, and had a keen understanding of the intricacies of injury claim issues to address my case. He excelled at reading through thousands of medical records to fully understand the issues and focused on relevant facts. He competently considered my circumstances and the strategies and options that would work to my advantage. Mr. Treisman is smart, resourceful, and a skilled professional who I was happy to have on my side working on my behalf. I highly recommend Mr. Treisman and was pleased with the resolution of my case .

This lawyer is nothing short of five stars. Rocky is a proven professional that can be counted on for no nonsense critical legal advice. I can't say enough good things about this lawyer. Positive, upbeat and a truthful approach to issues/controversy sets this lawyer above all others. I can't imagine asking anyone else for legal advice. He will tell you straight up whether you are strong or exposed. I view such information/advice/opinion critical to making smart decisions.. I like being right; that is why I like people that give me straight analysis that may or may not be in line with my view. Such advice keeps me from making silly mistakes. At the end of the day, that is what you get from Rocky; straight analysis and advice that keeps you from making silly mistakes.

Tim Williams was a great recommend for legal expertise around CA labor laws. He was very helpful making a difference in what I needed, quick in response (within hours), delivers what he says he will deliver, reasonable, clear, knowledgeable, goes above and beyond with resources and tools, and to top it off, a pleasure to work with the business at hand which can be important especially around sensitive difficult matters. It can be challenging to identify excellent legal services. I have had the misfortune of working with very poor legal services so I find it to be a significant boon to have located and worked with Tim Williams.

He successfully communicated with the landlord and negotiated an agreeable amount between both of us.

I had a pretty messy situation with a DUI/DWI that I hadn't taken care of and had allowed to languish for about 10 years. To further complicate things, I had moved out of the state that the infraction had originally happened in, so this was going to be a difficult affair.
I shopped around for representation in the area and one thing that really stuck out about Vincent: whereas everyone else was basically saying it was a slamdunk and that they could get all charges dismissed within 30 days, guaranteed; Vincent was honest with me in saying that this was a complicated case and that he couldn't guarantee such a thing. By no means did he admonish me, but he did make clear how difficult my case could be because of the time elapsed and my move from the state.
After this conversation, I knew I had my attorney. Vincent clearly had a level of integrity that is a cut above everyone else's. Vincent fought hard during my case. I was facing extensive fines and possibly jailtime. Fortunately, thanks to his tenacity, Vincent was able to get my case dismissed and I was able to walk away with a totally clean record. I can't thank him enough for his integrity, hard-work, and grit. I highly recommend placing Mr. Russo on your shortlist of possible representation, you won't regret it.

"I have worked with Uzzell Branson, IV for the past six years on a very difficult Family Trust. Throughout this long ordeal, Uzzell was not only helpful and caring; he knew the law and every advice he offered me was acted upon and was correct. He kept his sense of humor through this difficult case, and kept in touch with what the next problem was to be solved. I don't know what I would have done without him!
I didn't know Uzzell when this Trust started, but at the end, I can not think of a better person to tackle what turned out to be a different, and unusual case load of work for him. I recommend him highly.

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.
