I was working with another lawyer within the same law group. When I switched to Alyssa, everything became very streamlined and efficient. She does her job well and is succinct with all court matters. Alyssa is very grounded and easy to work with. She is professional and carries herself as such, but is not stuffy or condescending. I would be very happy to work with her again.

Alyssa C. was a great attorney in helping me through my legal matter. I would definitely hire her again if future issues arouse. She heard my case and was able to compile and articulate a solid argument in my favor, that led to the desired and expedient outcome. She was able to walk my through the entire process so I would know what to expect, depending on which avenue the legal matter went. I feel like I can breath again thanks to her services. The organization was great and professional as well.

Alyssa was a great selection for my unique case. My case involved a divorce with a military connection as well as the dissolution of a 30 year marriage while also dealing with a disabled spouse. All these conditions created a delicate situation to handle and Alyssa did so with expert ability while also explaining the process and legal requirements all along the way. I was able to receive my desired result while also being fair and honest with my former spouse. Both of us were satisfied with the final outcome of the non-contested case. The already difficult process was made much less stressful by the professionalism of Alyssa and the Cole law group associates and experts who assisted her. Their fees were reasonable for the work they completed and I would recommend the CLG firm and especially Alyssa to anyone facing the difficult and unfortunate situation of divorce in Tennessee.

Clay represented my wife and me in litigation involving a car accident that she was involved in. It was a very serious accident with multiple vehicles, injuries, and fatalities involved. Clay was very diligent in helping us navigate through the process of settling the case. He kept us well informed as to the progress of the case, as well as what our options were as we proceeded. We feel very good about the outcome, particularly in light of the multiple parties involved in it. I would highly recommend Clay for his negotiating expertise, good communication, and steady demeanor throughout our dealings with him.

When it comes to legal matters, you need someone experienced AND someone you can trust. Clay is both of those and more. A drunk driver struck my daughter's car. Thankfully, she survived - but does deal with lingering issues. Clay was concerned about her well-being - and about her compensation. And I can tell you this: his knowledge and experience resulted in my daughter receiving thousands more than what was initially offered. I had no idea how to proceed - and he handled it quickly, efficiently and in our best interest. I'm not just recommending Clay - I'm telling you that for peace of mind you need someone like him in your corner.

There isn't enough glowing words to express the professionalism, communication standards, and measurable results achieved by hiring Matthew Kirby. After 17 months of no results with an out of state case, I hired Mr. Kirby to represent a workers compensation claim that was getting no where. He consulted with me when ever I needed it, day and night. He knew all the right procedures to achieve a verdict on my behalf. His direction even returned out of pocket money I didn't know could be reimbursed such as mileage and supplies. Today, I have an authorized Doctor and am getting the treatment and payments rightfully due.

Kent and I first met when our daughters were playing AYSO soccer. He was/is approachable, engaging, intelligent, and someone you trust almost immediately. For me the measure of a man is how he interacts with his family and Kent sets the bar for all of us. Later when I had a sensitive legal issue, Kent was the first person I called. He was extraordinarily professional yet understanding on a personal level. He seemed to never forget we were husbands and fathers first and foremost. Later Kent advised my wife on some IP matters and again, he was thorough and profoundly human. In this day when professional services providers are so transactional, Kent remains the one setting the bar for competence and compassion. My family and I trust him in all matters from the legally complex to the personally sensitive.

I have known Mike Ainley for over 30 years. One thing I always remembered about Mike through those years was his work ethic. An extremely hard worker on anything he did. He was relentless in his schooling and when he hit the work force, it was on a dead run,...full speed ahead. Before he became a lawyer, I hired him as a manager for a band that I was in. We went from playing small clubs to large venues in a very short time. The band ran it's course and disbanded but a few years later I got with Mike to guide me through a business situation, which has been my lifes work since then. I always call Mike when I have a need for law advice. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He's not just a great lawyer or business consultant to me,....he's a friend. He's also one of the smartest people I've ever known.

I was arrested on a DUI charge and didn't think I had any chance of getting out of it. My job was on the line, so I hired Mr. Witherington based on numerous people referring him as the "go- to" guy for these situations. He jumped right into my case and developed some complicated legal technicality based on how they stopped my vehicle. He and his staff did a very thorough job of getting records, photographs, and all sorts of information to build my defense. IT WORKED. I got out with nothing on my record. Mr. Witherington was very personable and always responded to my calls the same day. I highly recommend him, and I hope I never have to use him again.

John represented me in a divorce that was especially acrimonious. He did his best to help resolve matters through agreement, mediation, and every other means short of having to have contested hearings and eventually a trial on the merits. When informal resolution was not possible, I was very fortunate to have such a professional and competent advocate on my side. John kept me informed at every step of the process, and was always accessible if I had questions or if new issues arose. He not only is a leading expert on family law, but has great judgment and common sense which made me trust his advice even more. As corporate counsel who deals with business litigation, I have had the opportunity to work with and against some really good lawyers at the trial and appellate level all over the country.

I hired Mr. Randy Songstad most recently as my attorney for a divorce proceeding. Mr. Songstad is an excellent attorney who knows how to look at all the facts concerning a divorce and come up with a superior strategy to get the most favorable outcome for his client. In my case, he was only concerned about making certain I came out of this proceeding with the best result possible. If anyone needs an attorney who is not just interested in churning files, running up large bills with unnecessary phone calls and useless letters, while trying to make nice with the other parties, but will put all his efforts on your behalf, this is the attorney you want working for you. He is not afraid to go up against anyone and has the courtroom trial skills to get the best outcome possible. This guy is a force to deal with and I'm glad he was on my side! I've also used him in business matters as well, and as a courtroom litagator, any client will be glad they retained Mr. Randy Songstad. Michael

I was having a difficult decision that I had to make concerning my family, and wasn't sure the route to go with it. By the time I left there I was confident in the decision. Vicki took time to get to know me and understand where I was with the case. I remember sharing with her the hurt and pain I had gone through during this time, and it was as if she totally forgot her business as a attorney and took the time to console me as a mother and her love for her daughter as a priority in such decisions. She was a very caring attorney with great wisdom to help me. I will never forget the advice she gave me, because it brought not only healing to a broken mother that I was, but it brought great wisdom to my decision, and healing to me and my daughter. Vicki is also a Christian, and that is a great priority in having a Attorney to me. She is a lady of compassion, and very trustworthy. I spoke to many others concerning her before I went to see her, and all of their comments about her were excellent. She came highly recommended. Her husband Mike and daughter Angela are wonderful Attorneys as well. I am working on a case with our business at this time also. And I am well pleased with the case. Attorney Vicki Hoover is a wonderful attorney, and we are blessed here in Henry County to have her services. I have complete trust in her abilities to handle any business decision. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a Attorney.

Robin has excellent excellent knowledge of the law. Has the resources to research any aspect of the case. Was always honest in what we could and could not expect during the case. Knows her way around and is comfortable in federal, state and local courts. By far the best attorney we have ever used. You can not find a better attorney in Memphis, TN.

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:

  • 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.
