Colin, and associates, represented us on a licensing problem with the SC Dept of Revenue. His depth of analysis was intensive while keeping our costs in range. Our result was a success and we are delighted to be able to recommend Colin.

Brian was incredibly helpful in assisting with a potential legal matter regarding my sons rental housing lease at Clemson.

I will be using him again in the future.

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.

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.

Mr. Steward came to me highly recommended as the man to handle a law suit made necessary by
a lessee who was derelict in paying his 1. taxes and 2. insurance, both of which were agreed to in his leases, and were a year in arrears.

I recently recommended Mr. Stewart to my father-in-law. He owns property in another state, and had concerns about it. Mr. Stewart was able to speak to him, and give him great advice. Due to the fact the property was located in another state, Mr. Stewart was not able to personally handle the situation but he provided all the information necessary for him to get the problem handled. Thank you Mr. Stewart for your help!

I was incredibly impressed with Attorney Andrew M. Connor and Ms. April Mims of the Connor Law Firm. Mr. Connor’s expertise and dedication were evident throughout my solar panel lawsuit. He explained complex legal issues related to solar system clauses in a clear and accessible manner, keeping me informed every step of the way. His guidance through the tedious legal process led to a positive outcome that aligned with my desired results.
The professionalism and genuine care demonstrated by Mr. Connor and Ms. Mims made an otherwise challenging legal matter far more manageable. I highly recommend the Connor Law Firm for handling any solar system disputes.
Sincerely,

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!

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.

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.

Mr. Tim Amey was a consummate professional. I hired him to represent me in a criminal matter and he far and away exceeded my expectations. He could've charged me a large sum and instead only charged my half of what any other attorney would have requested in this circumstance. He was easy to contact and answered any questions I had with no grief. Seemed very down to earth and had a good spirit about him. I would hire Tim again in a heart beat and I would recommend him to my own family.

My wife saw Mr. Tim Amey's law firm on a short list on an internet search and contacted his business to get help with our specific legal questions. He called back and was very helpful in answering all of our questions. He was very compassionate in hearing her, was very professional and knowledgeable. He determined that our needs were more outside of his practice of criminal law and helped me find the right attorney for the job. We were about to give up when she got the call from Mr. Amey, and he gave us more than hope. We learned that we do need a lawyer and that our problem will be taken care of with the right legal representation. Thank you again, Mr. Amey!

Rick has been both our personal and business lawyer for 20 plus years. In this time frame I have witnessed both his ability to quickly assess both the legal matter at hand, the pro/cons of the case and a strategy that, to date, has always been correct. He has guided our company through several legal matters that, by others opinion, we should have lost but we won. He understands his own limitations and is not afraid to call in others,with in the group, to ask their opinion based on their legal experiences. He has an incredible ability to evaluate the opposing legal council and quickly find the weakness in their position. Having known Rick these past 20 years I cannot think of a legal matter, be it personal or business, that I would want to face without him as my legal council.

He worked diligently to clear my name with the IRS taking the case through the appeals process before finally winning. While the entire process was stressful for my family and I, Evan guided me through the process, clearly explained his strategies, and constantly updated me on the status of the case.

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.
