As a court reporter with 40+ year of experience working with top-tier attorneys across the state and nation, I knew right away when deciding to pursue litigation on behalf of two sisters who had been badly abused and neglected and fell through the cracks of proper child protective care that Rebecca Roe and Sergio Garcidueñas-Sease at the Law Office of Schroeter Goldmark & Bender would be the perfect people to represent them in their search for justice. Also, Ben Gauen, Virginia Mendoza, and Alison Mabbutt were a part of this stellar team.
These attorneys and their staff members were all extremely sensitive and discreet in every aspect of navigating the litigation process and worked diligently to gather necessary information from over 30,000 pages of documents that were produced relating to their case, which also included talking to countless witnesses. In the end, through their zealous advocacy, they negotiated what all believed to be a very fair and generous resolution for the sisters. The sisters are incredibly grateful to Becky, Sergio, and the rest of the team. Thank you for your excellent representation, infused with kindness and a personal touch. Let the healing begin.

My life was destroyed after I was horrifically attacked due to landlord negligence. I was really afraid for my future and didn't know where to turn. Initially, I sought help through other attorneys and was denied. When Schroeter Goldmark & Bender agreed to take my case, I finally felt a sliver of hope. They continued to fight for me diligently for years. Even when they could have easily given up after a judge wrongfully dismissed my case.They provided continual support, encouragement, assistance and comfort throughout this lengthy and arduous battle. Ultimately their perseverance, tenacity, determination and commitment resulted in a significant settlement in which I am able to comfortably look forward to my future instead of living in fear of it. I am eternally grateful to Rich, Sergio, Lindsay, Luke, Allison and all other associates at SGB for replacing my desperation with celebration.
Cheers friends, this drink's for you!

These attorneys and their staff members were all extremely sensitive and discreet in every aspect of navigating the litigation process and worked diligently to gather necessary information from over 30,000 pages of documents that were produced relating to their case, which also included talking to countless witnesses. In the end, through their zealous advocacy, they negotiated what all believed to be a very fair and generous resolution for the sisters. The sisters are incredibly grateful to Becky, Sergio, and the rest of the team. Thank you for your excellent representation, infused with kindness and a personal touch. Let the healing begin.

My life was destroyed after I was horrifically attacked due to landlord negligence. I was really afraid for my future and didn't know where to turn. Initially, I sought help through other attorneys and was denied. When Schroeter Goldmark & Bender agreed to take my case, I finally felt a sliver of hope. They continued to fight for me diligently for years. Even when they could have easily given up after a judge wrongfully dismissed my case.They provided continual support, encouragement, assistance and comfort throughout this lengthy and arduous battle. Ultimately their perseverance, tenacity, determination and commitment resulted in a significant settlement in which I am able to comfortably look forward to my future instead of living in fear of it. I am eternally grateful to Rich, Sergio, Lindsay, Luke, Allison and all other associates at SGB for replacing my desperation with celebration.

Before I contacted the law offices of Tim Billick I felt powerless and very upset after discovering that someone had taken the intellectual property that I worked so hard to create and was selling it online without my permission. To my surprise and disbelief, Mr. Billick had the infringing material removed from the Internet much quicker than I ever imagined was possible. Now I am feeling so relieved! If you're looking for a skilled attorney who will fight tooth and nail to protect your intellectual property rights, Mr. Billick isn't just an attorney you're are looking. Mr. Billick is THE ATTORNEY you're looking for.

I consulted TBillick Law on a complex copyright licensing issue that intersects with trust & estate law. Several IP attorneys passed on advising me due to the complexity, but Tim had relevant experience in both areas and took the time to figure out the best approach. He even did some background research and made calls before I officially signed up as a client and did not charge me for that! He answered all my questions and carefully explained a complex legal situation. I was fortunate to have found Tim to clarify an otherwise convoluted process.

Tim Billick and his team have expertly navigated our organization through the complexities of intellectual property strategy, defense, and compliance. Tim and his team are talented and patient professionals. They are likeable, listen intently, and are skilled at solving problems that may arise in work involving complex intellectual property matters. They've helped us at The OpenCRE AI project with the legal mechanics of service and development agreements, and they are instrumental in our current licensing, patent, and technology JV strategies. We highly recommend TBillick Law.

I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with Mark Alexander over the very long haul of my case. I was somehow able to hire the attorney everyone hopes to get but seldom does. Thanks to Mark, I was able to achieve a much better outcome than I ever hoped for. He was over-and-above in every way that matters: expertise, timeliness, punctuality, turnaround, patience and pragmatism to name just a few. His work showed so much thought and attention to detail which really won me over. My divorce was a painful time in my life and I'm deeply grateful to have found Mark get me through the legal journey safely with a secure future intact.

Nathan Cliber was great to work with putting together a pre-nuptial agreement. He was patient in explaining the law and options, provided great advice and guidance in how to approach it, and iterated quickly. He was upfront about costs, possible outcomes, and timelines. I'd happily work with him again (although hope to never need too)

Words cannot adequately express how fortunate I feel to have found Nathan Cliber to handle my case. Not only was he an absolute pleasure to work with, but he was always upfront and direct about our chances of success and made sure I knew exactly what I was getting into if I wished to pursue certain actions. He was considerate of my time (money), keeping me on track and focused when he could have chosen to sit back and let me ramble while he collected $100s. He approached sensitive topics with empathy and understanding. He somehow always knew when I needed gentle guidance and when I needed a firm reality check (which he did with professionalism and respect). Not only did I feel like he truly cared about me, my case, and my family, but I was confident he was giving me the best chances he possibly could. Nathan had my back every step of the way. If that wasn't enough, he was also so personable that talking to him felt like talking with a good friend I'd known for years. As I write this, we have made it through the largest hurdles and will be mostly parting ways. As relieved as I am to have these battles almost over, I am also very sad that our time together is ending. I'll miss working with him, but it should go without saying that he will be the first I contact if I need legal assistance again. If you're looking, this is your guy. I couldn't have chosen better.

Jay goes above and beyond to help people. I worked with Jay in the past with a slip and fall at a major retailer where I was injured. He handled the case with ease and kept me informed every step. He won the case and made sure to explain every detail.
Recently I was in a car accident out of state and Jay was a wealth of knowledge to help me again.
It's hard to find legal help that cares. Jay falls into that rare breed. Look no further, give him a call.

I was so fortunate that Mary Ruth Mann took my case against my employer. I can’t begin to adequately express my gratitude to a woman who remained by my side during a very lengthy case. Engaging in a law suit against anyone is a big decision and a stressful undertaking. Finding the right attorney is crucial. I thank God every day that I found Mary Ruth. When she told me to put my fears aside and allow her to do the worrying for me, she truly lightened my load. Mary Ruth is a woman of integrity who is brilliant, unafraid, and exactly the person one needs in his/her corner when going up against any adversary. After getting to know her, I pity the individual who makes the mistake of underestimating her abilities. Frankly, she’s amazing, tireless, and tenacious. If I were to need legal counsel again, I would go directly to Mary Ruth. I’d be a fool not to. You are the best, Mary Ruth. What a ride it was. And thanks to you, we won.

If MRM has been practicing 35 years we were her among her early clients. She was amazing the and still is. I have not needed an attorney much since 1981 but when I have she is the best advisor. Never has forced a litigation on any. She did took my husband I through the end of a horrid family court matter that had taken on a life of its own even after remarriages . Former attorneys had settled nothing to the satisfaction of any party, including new husband or new wife. We did prevail on a permanent maintenance beyond remarriage of the recipient or payment of attorney fees by husband. She took it to appeals and won on both. She did not further damage the already fragile relationship between divorced parents of a fragile preteen in the process. Time passes we are grandparents, everyone is the exact same personality as they were in then. She worked hard for us in an area of law that is not her specialty but she has left her mark with these appeals and by assuring we newly weds had a chance at making a marriage and eventual family find peace. For that We are eternally grateful.

Mary Ruth is a genuine, caring and extremely knowledgable lawyer. Throughout my case (which went on for 3 years) I was kept up to date on the latest developments. As each obsticle came about I was thoroughly informed of my options as how I could proceed and loved the fact that I was in the officers seat and made the decisions.
Her knowledge of the law and my rights was impressive. It was evident why she is such a highly reputable and sought after lawyer. The fact she only takes cases she truly believes in and not just anyone who walks through the door impressed me.
Ms Mann (as well as her staff) treated me as family and not just a client. She was genuinly concerned about my well being and health every step of the 3 yr ordeal. When things got heated and I needed a break or to take a time out we did. People will never truly understand how stressful a law suit and trial are until they go through it themselves! She sacrificed many holidays as well as weekends to do what needed to be done!
I would highly recommend Mary Ruth to anyone who is looking for a quality and passionate lawyer. I will continue to refer her to family and friends!

After disappointing attempts working with other attorneys, we feel so fortunate to have found Kim to help us during a long and complicated litigation process. As she tirelessly and tenaciously worked even beyond our expectations, we observed her amazing, critical-thinking mind; high concern for clients' interests; deep professional expertise; and drive for accuracy, which consistently provided us with wise advice. Kim was our strong, dependable and trustworthy advocate during a difficult time. She was always fully prepared and already anticipating steps ahead, which helped us reach a satisfactory outcome. If you are ever in need of a brilliant, high-principled and conscientious environmental legal attorney, we most highly recommend Kim.

Kim really helped out of a rough situation. The buried oil tank on my property (still in use) was found to be leaking and had spread over a large area. I had a very difficult time trying to figure out what to do. The company that tested the soil just tossed me aside to an attorney. The attorney was mostly interested in litigation. I talked to realtors. None of them knew much of anything about soil contamination. I finally found Kim, and she gave me a road map of what to do and I was ultimately able to perform the cleanup and sell the property. It wasn't cheap (it cost me over $70,000), but I don't know what I would have done had I not contacted Kim.

Kim Johannessen was referred to me by a friend who happens to be a very successful attorney himself. A request was posted on Listserve, a Legal Referral directory used by attorneys to post referrals and recommendations, and Johannessen & Associates came up repeatedly.
I remember one attorney responding "This is the one". After speaking with several other attorneys, I knew Kim was the best choice. Not only was Johannessen & Associates recommended by other attorneys, but also by environmental cleanup companies I had contacted.
Working with Kim was the best decision I could have made. I was in a very complex situation with a leaking residential oil tank that involved many parties with no clear path. Kim's extensive legal experience on environmental matters, combined with her keen understanding of the issues and the hard work put in by Kim and her associates, all were key to our being able to work towards a resolution, despite a seemingly hopeless beginning.
If you have an oil tank or other environmental issues, put Johannessen & Associates on your speed dial. The first one to hire her firm will count their blessings.

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.
