I came to Ross after I was injured on the job. Boy am I glad I did. My legs we're killing me. Ross made sure I got the best treatment possible and got compensated for my injuries. He handled my case personally from start to finish. I can't recommend him enough.

Mrs. Forsythe was very professional in handling all of the matters in a very complex custody case. She is incredibly diligent with her paperwork and clients. It was a very long and arduous process, in which she was very supportive. She was never compromising in anyway, and was never willing to let us make any decisions that would put us, our family, or the the children in jeopardy. She is compassionate, understanding, and very good at her job. She knows the laws very well and performs fabulously in court. I would highly recommend her for your family court needs as she worked exceptionally with my family.

I hired Jeff Gerardi to represent me after I sustained injuries in a car accident last year. From our first meeting, Jeff was incredibly attentive and supportive of me and my situation. His professionalism and ability to empathize exceeded all of my expectations of a personal injury attorney. Jeff is very accessible, responding to all questions quickly and explaining things thoroughly. He always went way above and beyond my expectations and negotiated with the car insurance company powerfully and nimbly, settling my case for the maximum amount. Jeff made one of the most difficult times of my life so much easier, by juggling all of the details I couldn't and by being a real human being at the same time. I will forever have the deepest gratitude to Jeff for all he did for me and will always refer clients to him with my highest recommendation.

My wife and I were in a pretty bad accident, roughly a year and a half ago. A drunk driver hit us from behind, at approximately 50 miles per hour. We flipped, crashed into a tree, and I blacked out after I was torpedo'd into the back seat. I woke up in the hospital several hours later, confused, scared, and in a lot of pain.
Fast forward a few days.
My wife and I are in pain, and are incredibly frustrated. We've never had to deal with something like this before, and it was very daunting. After a quick Google search of lawyers in the area, we soon landed on Joye Law Firm.
A short while later, we were introduced to the wonderful Jeff Gerardi, and our pre-existing fears of "evil blood sucking lawyers" melted away. Jeff was kind, patient, and very clear in his guiding us through the unknown process ahead of us.
A year and a half later, my wife and I are back to full health. Jeff Gerardi helped us manuever the tricky insurance battlefields, and we walked away with enough money in our settlement to get married, pay off all of our student loans, and make a down payment on a house!!
What could have been the worst event of our lives, ended up being a massive blessing in disguise. And Jeff Gerardi was the man who made it all happen for us.
We couldn't recommend Jeff Gerardi, and Joye Law Firm any higher. They were simply perfect.
Thanks again, guys.

I had to hire an attorney to help me settle an auto accident I was involved in. Joye Law Firm's Jeff Gerardi and his Assistant Holly Benton were very professional and treated me like I was the only case they had. Every time I called they were right there to help answer any concerns I had. They kept me informed and up-to-date on everything. I was very happy to have hired them to settle my case.

Ms. McFann exceeded my expectations and helped me understand how Florida law works in protecting all citizens. This being said, what I know was true and right in my case, she explained with patience and knowledge how the law works, what they regonize and pushed hard to win the case in the reality of law limits. Ms. Mcfann is a class act, with a fun personality who gets the job done in a hummable manner.

I was fortunate to be able to secure Sam Scoville as my attorney for an "ugly" divorce in which my former spouse was highly financially motivated. Sam had come highly recommended by a neighbor. I was never anything but highly satisfied with Sam and Kiania's attentiveness,compassion and concern. ALL of my calls were answered in a timely manner and even on a weekend when "best made plans" were not going as expected despite MULTIPLE phone calls to POA and BCSO!! It was a LONG emotional 13 months but my divorce was finally granted in my favor! I highly recommend Harvey and Battey,P.A. and especially Sam Scoville.

Inquired with Harvey & Battey's firm for assistance with some legal processes and documents. From the beginning they responded quickly and had me in. I worked with Sam and Kiania, once they understood what we were trying to accomplish they took care of everything in a correct and professional manner. Communications were smooth, on time and had the answer to any questions. They really handed the entire process for me in something I knew little about. If a situation came up again in the future where I would look for legal guidance or representation, I would go right to them again.

Our company is truly blessed to have found Ellis. When we were referred to him, we had struggled for over two years to reach a settlement agreement with a surety company.
Ellis eagerly took our case and jumped right in. He is extremely thorough and aggressive with defendants, and it is obvious he works (at any hour of the day or night) to achieve maximum results for us. He maintains constant communication and ALWAYS responds to an e-mail or phone call in a timely manner. Ellis explains legal terms and actions thoroughly to help us better understand the process. He is well organized, and he does not use our time or resources frivolously. In the surety bond case, he produced overwhelming results within a few months. To say we were thrilled with both Ellis and the results is an understatement.
Even though Ellis possesses tremendous work ethic, it is his heart that separates him from the rest. Ellis treats us like a part of his family, expressing genuine concern for our personal and professional well being. We have given Ellis tremendous accolades in our business community and continuously recommend him to our peers. We are excited to partner with him for years to come.

Brian was incredibly helpful in assisting with a potential legal matter regarding my sons rental housing lease at Clemson.
I reached out for a consultation regarding some concerns over the language in the lease and on a separate addendum my son signed.

I was picked out of random for a DUI leaving a restaurant in Murrells Inlet. I did not know of any lawyers in the Myrtle Beach area and when I did internet search for lawyers in Myrtle Beach, I was very impressed with Mr. Monckton's background. I met with Mr. Monckton and his paralegal. They told me that I had a great case because of my upcoming knee replacement surgery. His paralegal Rhonda kept up to date with everything and they got my DUI dismissed. I would highly recommend Mr. Monckton.

My nephew became addicted to drugs 5 years ago. I brought him to Myrtle Beach in hopes of a new environment and to have the support of his family near him. In July 2016 drugs found their way back into his life and on August 14, 2016 he was arrested. I reached out to Billy Monckton, as I was unsure who I could turn to. He went and met with my nephew, listened to his side of the story and contacted me. He said he would represent my nephew. I knew at that moment my nephew was in good hands. After 7 months of my nephew behind bars Billy Monckton was able to secure Drug Court in lieu of the reduced sentence of 5 years in jail. Billy Monckton takes the time to know the reason(s) one came to the point they are in their life and what lead them to do a crime. He does his homework and does what is in the best interest of the client and not what the family wants at the immediate. Billy Monckton works for the long term success of his clients. Without Billy Monckton's expertise and willingness to go above and beyond, my nephew would not have a second lease on life. I would highly recommend Billy Monckton to anyone who was looking for counsel who cares, who is honest and who is willing to fight for ones rights.

Thank you for your gracious help Mr. Austin Thomas and Patty. We can not tell you how we appreciated all your concern and help with our terrible situation that has been going on for 2 years plus. First, Patty had a gracious heart when I first called listened to our problem and right away made appointment for us to see Mr. Thomas the next day. Mr. Austin Thomas was kind enough to take time listen to our situation and explain what possible options we might have. He was willing to try his best to help us even though our situation was going to be hard. After a couple of months and it seemed we should just give up Mr. Thomas said he was still going to keep trying and he did not give up! All I can say is we can not thank you enough for your dedication, caring and kindness you gave us with this problem Please don’t ever change as your concern and caring are so much appreciated and is hard to find. We recommend Grooms and Thomas Law Firm to anyone who needs a good attorney. Thank you ever so much!

My husband and I never had to hire a defense attorney for anything, therefore when we received a court document with a bogus BS claim we were referred to hire Attorney Mr. Thomas to defend us in this B.S. Litigation suit, Mr. Thomas was able to get it settled for the exact amount my husband originally agreed to with the other party and was honest with from the very beginning. We honestly believe our attorney Mr. Thomas could see the truth and followed it all the way through to the very end where it was settled out of court. My husband and I highly recommend attorney Mr. Thomas and although we don't think we'll be needing an attorney in the near future, if anything should arise, Mr. Thomas would definitely be our #1. attorney contact.

In February 2021, I made the decision to hire David Paavola to handle my 90 year old Mother's Eminent Domain case vs. the SC Department of Transportation regarding her prominent 1 acre piece of property on US #1 at I-20 in Lexington SC. This was a major restructure of the traffic patterns in that area and is still in progress today. David was well-versed and definitely more than capable of this type of case. He came highly recommended to me. He was very personable from our first meeting at the site and demonstrated both his knowledge and desire to handle this case for us. He was ALWAYS quick to respond to any correspondence or phone calls I initiated and certainly kept me informed as to where the case stood. Due to the fact that they were destroying the value of this corner piece of property that had 2 in-and-out entrances and a traffic light and leaving us the property in front within 6-feet of the front door of a new acceleration traffic lane and with a "fly-over" on the side, we were offered payment for only half of the land. We needed the DOT to purchase the entire amount as it was now uninhabitable for a 90 year old person and we needed to relocate her. This entire process took exactly 2 years due to the State Government being slow to do things. As we proceeded to take this matter to court, David produced an exceptional video of the situation at hand, before and after circumstances , and included my mother. She and my late dad bought this property and built the existing house there in 1951. That day at the conclusion of our meeting and David's presentation, SCDOT agreed to pay the full amount of our appraisal that we were asking. I was also never surprised by any additional legal fees during the 2 years I worked with him . The entire experience, although personally difficult for my family, was handled most professionally and with great expertise. I would highly recommend David Paavola to anyone who asked.

Attourney Lalima is super effective at getting the best results for your case.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Brent Takach. We found an amazing person in Brent while seeking an attorney for my husband to adopt my daughter. He worked diligently on our case from day one on every single task involved. As well as, keeping us informed of every detail along the way. He is beyond incredible in his ability to always be one step ahead of the game to tackle any issues that may arise. Every case is different and unique, but ours being a termination of parental rights with adoption, is not as easy and simple as it sounds. It is very complicated but Brent was ready at all times. With him being so upfront with us about issues that could occur, this put our minds at ease completely. And allowed us to trust him and the process. His level of knowledge and professionalism while also being “real” with us, I feel, can’t be beat. If we happen to need an attorney again in the future, we will not hesitate to work with Brent again. My husband and I cannot recommend him enough!

Brent Takach is an amazing attorney and having him to oversee my divorce was the best decision I could have made. Not only is his legal prowess unmatched, but he is the definition of professional, kind, and compassionate. These attributes were tremendously important to me due to the sensitive nature of my divorce. I never once felt like “just another client” to Brent. He took the time to answer my questions and walked me through every step of the process. He eased my fears and made this process as painfree as he could. I would highly recommend Brent to anyone going through the difficult decision to divorce.

Rachel met with the police officer prior to the court date to work out a deal. She was able to convince him to agree to defer my sentences. The police officer suggested to the judge that my sentencing be deferred. I didn’t have to speak in court. I had to pay no fines. As long as I don’t have any run-ins with the law, I will have nothing on my record. The whole process was completely painless. I could not be happier with the service she provided and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Rachel!

I've been thoroughly impressed with Zandra. She made me feel like I was her only client when I was with her working on my custody case which was different than lawyers in the past. I trusted her with my case and to be able to bring me the best outcome. I've seen lawyers in the past make clients feel that but they ask for something in court that they can get that result just because they want it. She fought for me but didn't sugar coat and make me believe I could get things that I wouldn't be able to get because the judge is still a person too as well as an opposing side that wants things their way. Zandra is very personable and extremely knowledgeable. I was impressed with her knowledge and her ability to weigh outcomes from her experience. I will definitely be recommending her to others!

I would recommend Richard for anyone seeking personal injury representation. He guides you through the process and there is little the client has to do or be concerned about involving any leagel issues. Richard advised me as I had very little legal knowledge and didn't know what to do. Everything he said was honest and I felt very comfortable working with him. He makes sure that no stone is left unturned.

Richard Kerr persued the insurance carrier of the man that hit me and convinced them that it would be in their best interest to meet his demands on my behalf. The settlement was ample.
Dealing with Mr. Kerr was a pleasant experience under the circumstances. I found that he was genuinely concerned about me, always took my calls, unless he was out of the office, and I found his staff was also helpful and pleasant to work with.

Elliotte Quinn with the Steinberg Law Firm was invaluable to me in resolving an issue with my Columbia, SC home builder and developer. The construction problems I had were completely outside the norm of any routine issue and completely beyond my expertise. Elliotte kept me informed through the entire process and made sure I understood my options during each phase of litigation. Thank you Elliotte, Monica and the entire team at the Steinberg Law Firm.

Like most people, I never expected that I would need legal representation. However, after a horrible experience with a pool install, my husband and I decided we had to seek legal counsel. After talking with Elliotte about our experience, we knew he was going to be the help we needed.
Over the next few weeks and months, Elliotte never lost focus and provided us with excellent representation, guidance, and advice. He exemplifies the perfect combination of care, trust, professionalism, and toughness.
The end result….he achieved the results we wanted while making the journey as smooth as possible.

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.
