I reached out to Grant for counsel on an employment matter and he provided prompt and actionable advice as I navigated a stressful negotiation regarding my equity plan and separation from the company. Grant went above and beyond to help me come to the right decision for how I wanted to handle my employer and at the end of the day, I was pleased at the outcome and eager to move on to greener pastures. Thank you Grant for your knowledgable, kind, and thorough evaluation. I look forward to working with you again on a more positive project!

I called upon Grant for his help with a real estate matter, and was very impressed with him. He absolutely went above and beyond to help me, and his prompt and professional assistance made a stressful situation much easier to handle. Ultimately I was very satisfied with the resolution of this issue, which had haunted me for years. I wish I had contacted Grant sooner. Grant is not only highly knowledgeable, bright, and hardworking, but also kind and trustworthy. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

Grant has helped me get through a two year legal process and he did so with clarity and great guidance. His phone calls and zoom meetings to explain his thought process and foresight was very well informed as well as easily understandable on a client’s perspective. I highly recommend him to solve your legal issues and he’ll get it done as fast as possible!

I am extremely grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Salwin and having retained him as my legal representative. Initially; I was quite nervous and apprehensive when I called Mr. Salwin and his office — I was told by other lawyers at other law firms that I should “just plea guilty and move on” — and I was not being taken seriously at other firms. Upon our first meeting Mr. Salwin immediately put me at ease. I knew that I was in good hands. His calm and friendly demeanor coupled with his extensive knowledge and breadth of expertise in the legal field is remarkable. Notably, he made sure to thoroughly answer all questions, is very patient and shows genuine concern about his clients. I can’t thank him enough for our successful resolution. Highly recommended!

Prior to meeting Angelica, I thought financial advisors ONLY worked with the rich and the famous! I thought they ONLY cared about maintaining the wealth in certain families and thus were out of reach and quite frankly out of touch with the working class. Angelica obliterated that notion during our very first interaction by passionately describing her desire to continuously partner with & build generational wealth in marginalized groups. Working with Angelica has been an absolute game-changer for my financial well-being. From day one, she took the time to understand my unique situation and long-term goals, crafting a tailored strategy that fits my needs. What I appreciate most about Angelica is her ability to make me feel empowered and in control of my finances—no question is too small, and she always takes the time to explain things thoroughly. She has the wonderful gift of breaking down seemingly complex processes to elementary levels. This can also be seen in her multiple interviews available online. Beyond her expertise; her genuine care and dedication to her clients make her a standout advisor. I feel more confident about my financial future thanks to Angelica, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, results-driven advisor.

I got into a car accident over the summer and when I was asking around at work for attorneys to help me out, our amazing HR, Kristy, had recommended Parham Hakimi to me and I am so glad I listened to her. Parham was an absolute shark working on my case and taking care of everything. A mutual of mine was also looking for an attorney to help her out and I immediately recommended him. I have never been in a situation like the one I was in, but he was very trustworthy and accommodating to updates, phone calls, etc. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to take care of this case and if anyone is looking for someone to take care of theirs, Parham Hakimi is the attorney to go to!

We were seeking justice for my dad and knew after meeting the Knapp & Roberts team we had the right group of professionals to help us get there. Justice is something people talk about and often not achieved. Craig and David helped us get justice for my dad and were there for my family through the toughest of times. Much appreciation to the Knapp & Roberts team and to Craig and David for all they did.

When my little girl passed away it was devastating. I went on his website and filled a brief description of daughter’s case. He called immediately, we spoke for awhile. I gave a few medical records and by the next few days he reached out me and took the case. Craig was very compassionate and would always respond if I had any questions or concerns. He always encouraged us to do what we felt was right. After 10 years of working with Craig knapp and his team they were part of our family. They were very professional and respectful of our daughters case. I am a nurse by profession, I am amazed at how much medical knowledge Craig Knapp and his team have. My daughter would be proud Craig helped to bring justice to our daughter’s medical negligence. We settled far more than we expected. Thank you Knapp and Roberts

Shane was referred to me after a car accident that happened my senior year of high school. Right after the accident Shane took the time to explain how the procedure worked and to not stress about our medical expenses and to focus on getting better. Following the accident I attended physical therapy for three months and saw four total physicians. Shane took detailed account of all of the expenses and physicians. Although the process took some time Shane was very detailed. Any time I had questions or needed to reach out he was there to follow up with me. I was very happy with how smooth this case was and I’m very happy with the results he got me from my case. I’d recommend his services to anyone that needs help after an accident. Due to him I was able to recover from my accident, have proper care, and make a little bit of money to pay off my new car and still have left over. Even if results take time he will make sure he gives you the best care starting out and all the way to the end of our case

From the very beginning Shane’s personal concern was evident when he made sure that my medical needs were taken care of. The case proved quite challenging, but Shane persisted in a knowledgeable and professional manner. Thanks to his perseverance the settlement was significantly more than I had anticipated. I would highly recommend Shane Warner for legal representation.

Shane was very professional and knowledgeable regarding auto accident injury claims and how to navigate the claim to get the best possible results. He made sure I was taken care of medically by referring me to physicians and a physical therapy practice. He did not back down and was very thorough when pursuing a settlement on my behalf. He was able to get the maximum amount for me due to his negotiating skills and expertise. Thanks again Shane for your dedicated work.

When I met with Jim Schmillen for a consultation, he truly listened to what I was looking for in a lawyer. He didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear on that first visit. But, he told me what I NEEDED to hear from a professional and legal perspective. He was very honest and upfront in his assessment and opinion of my situation. I felt I was getting a very clear vision of what direction he would go in if I hired him to represent me. He exceeded my expectations in every aspect of our legal journey together. He was confident, experienced, assertive, smart, and accessible. He has an amazing team and they work so fluidly together. I always felt like I was their priority client and they made sure I was informed of every decision that was made. He is dependable, trustworthy, hardworking, and loyal to his clients.

Jim Padish handled my highly contentious divorce and I could not be more grateful to him and his team; Alicia Gallo is top notch. During a difficult time, Jim advocated for me and also taught me a great deal about advocating for myself by the time the divorce was finalized. He has one of the sharpest legal minds around and shows tremendous compassion and patience for his clients. It is rare to find attorney's with both qualities and Jim has them in spades.

I selected this law firm solely based on convenience and lack of research, my fault. Their staff is very friendly and pleasant to deal with; I will give them that. However, as my attorney, Brice was not a good fit for my case. My case involved one minor child. The goal was to have the ability to move out of state with my child. Brice had ample information and time to prepare a rock solid case on my behalf. Well, he did not do that. He went into court very unprepared, had a very sloppy and weak cross examination. He failed to mention very pertinent details involving my child and her father. Didn’t highlight the benefits for the move. I could go on and on, but ultimately I was highly disappointed with Brice’s service and out 30k. Do your research before selecting any firm!

I've been working with Aaron Kelly for about (3) years on a variety of projects where we need an attorney to either create or review legal docs. Aaron is professional, thorough, and an expert when it comes to Internet law. I recommend both our clients and industry peers to Aaron whenever possible. Retaining Aaron Kelly as your lawyer could be one of the smartest business decisions you can make.

So I was locked up on a trumped up charge for DUI and indecent exposure. Mr. Curry was able to get the indecent exposure charge dropped when a convenience store camera he subpoenaed showed that my genitalia was not exposed. Furthermore, he was able to get the DUI charge reduced to a 6 month suspended sentence since there were no credible witnesses or evidence proving I was driving over the curb. This dude kicks serious butt!

Mr Curry represented me on a DUI charge from January 2014. He always returned emails promptly, kept me informed during the process, and answered every question I had. In our face to face meetings, he came across as friendly, knowledgeable, and confident. This in turn inspired confidence in him, which he backed up by getting my case DISMISSED in August 2014, 3 weeks before my trial began. I'm grateful that I had Mr Curry to represent me, and that he was able to clear me of the charge. I would recommend Mr Curry in the highest degree.

Prior to meeting Angelica, I thought financial advisors ONLY worked with the rich and the famous! I thought they ONLY cared about maintaining the wealth in certain families and thus were out of reach and quite frankly out of touch with the working class. Angelica obliterated that notion during our very first interaction by passionately describing her desire to continuously partner with & build generational wealth in marginalized groups. Working with Angelica has been an absolute game-changer for my financial well-being. From day one, she took the time to understand my unique situation and long-term goals, crafting a tailored strategy that fits my needs. What I appreciate most about Angelica is her ability to make me feel empowered and in control of my finances—no question is too small, and she always takes the time to explain things thoroughly. She has the wonderful gift of breaking down seemingly complex processes to elementary levels. This can also be seen in her multiple interviews available online. Beyond her expertise; her genuine care and dedication to her clients make her a standout advisor. I feel more confident about my financial future thanks to Angelica, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, results-driven advisor.

Navigating the adjustment of status and green card application process can be incredibly overwhelming, and I found myself unsure of where to turn for help. Fortunately, my online research led me to Zubkoff Law, and I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service I received throughout my journey. From the very first consultation, their team demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that immediately put me at ease. They guided me step-by-step through the entire process with support and knowledge. I was thrilled to receive my green card approval without an interview something I had not anticipated, and it was all thanks to the diligent work of Zubkoff Law. They guided me through every step, ensuring that all my paperwork was in order and that I understood each part of the process. The communication was outstanding; they kept me informed at every stage, and I always felt like I could reach out with any questions or concerns. What impressed me the most was how quickly everything was processed. The approval came through a month after being submitted. I highly recommend Zubkoff Law to anyone seeking immigration assistance. Their expertise and commitment to their clients truly make a difference. Thank you, Zubkoff Law, for helping me and my family.

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:
