I can’t begin to express how grateful I am that Heather Piper represented me during my divorce. The amount of detail and care she took with my case was phenomenal. She was always available if I had a question or concern and made sure to fully explain the process and what I should expect. I could go on and on, but I’ll finish by saying if you need a family law attorney that is responsive and really cares about their clients then Piper Law is where u need to be.

I retained Ms. Piper's services midway through divorce proceedings. During my initial consultation, Ms. Piper truly listened to my concerns & priorities. Not once did I feel like a number when dealing with Ms. Piper. Each conversation left me with a feeling of confidence that I was in the most competent representation imaginable.
Ms. Piper & her team developed a strategy that lead to an outcome that I was previously told would be impossible. Parenting time was the utmost importance to me & when we finally put pen to paper, I had more parenting time than what would have been granted in trial.
Ms. Piper respected my time & worked efficiently to provide an amazing outcome while avoiding unnecessary billable hours. I have and will continue to recommend her services to anyone going through the trying times that are divorce proceedings.

When I contacted Heather, my situation seemed trying and very difficult to work through alone. She gave me the best advise I needed at the time, which was stay calm and keep things simple. She handled everything with great care and professionalism, walking me through the process with ease of mind. Words cannot describe my level of satisfaction. Thanks so much!!!!

Mr.Black is quite possibly one of the smartest individuals I've ever met. His knowledge of the law and how it all works is incredibly impressive. He is so well versed that he can quote case law and Supreme Court cases off the top of his head. He also does a great job of explaining to you how everything will work in terms that can actually be understood by someone who doesn't know how legal proceedings work.
I wish I had hired him first. I made the mistake of hiring two other attorneys before I hired Mr. Black. They provided me with incorrect information and did not know how processes actually worked. Mr.Black corrected all the misconceptions that had been planted by my previous attorneys and explained to me a clear path forward in my case.
Divorce is difficult no matter how you slice it. Mr.Black did a wonderful job during case preparation, depositions, and court filings. Mr.Black did such a wonderful job of deposing witnesses that the picture he painted was so clear the other side only had a few questions to ask after he was done. He very politely paints a vivid picture with his strategically asked questions and leaves nothing to doubt when he is done.
In addition to his exceptional level of knowledge and expertise in depositions and case preparation, he also works tirelessly and around the clock to ensure you are cared for and every little detail about your case is perfectly planned. Mr.Black would respond to emails at all hours of the night, on weekends, and even on vacation. I would have never imagined an attorney existed who would be so dedicated. He is absolutely incredible!
Mr. Black was also willing to work with me to help keep my costs down. Instead of having his paralegal prepare a summary or some other non-legal task, I asked if I could prepare the documents since I am well versed in the use of Excel and other software. There were various non-legal documents that he let me prepare, which he would review and revise if necessary. This resulted in my only being charged for a small portion of the document preparation instead of the many hours it would have cost for his paralegal to prepare the entire document.
Mr.Black also managed to negotiate with my spouse and his attorney which proved impossible for my other two attorneys. I really wish I had hired Mr.Black from the beginning. My other two attorneys made huge costly mistakes in my case. I wish I had known about Mr.Black when I filed. His expertise is unmatched and he is incredibly intelligent and thorough. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Hire Mr.Black from the beginning to ensure you are in good hands. Divorce is not a time for uncertainty. Mr.Black provided me with solid advice and did a great job of handling my ex and his impossible attorney.

My daughter was involved in a two-car head on collision accident. After the initial scare about her health, I was not too concerned about the legal aspects until I found out that the other driver's family was planning to sue even though the police report supported that the other driver was at fault. I decided that we needed a good lawyer on our side. My friend recommended Steve Black who represented her in a divorce settlement and I thought that he could recommend a personal injury lawyer. It turns out that Steve has done a lot of personal injury cases but does not advertise this component of his expertise. He was very impressive during our first interview, asking pertinent questions, providing thoughtful analysis of the circumstances, and recommending various plans of actions. I hired him on the spot even after he recommended talking to other lawyers before making a decision (a big plus for hiring in my mind). We have been extremely happy with his thorough preparation, accurate predictions of the likely responses and ultimate outcomes of the participants, amazing patience (my daughter is not well organized), and the successful conclusion of our case - maximum settlement in our favor. I give my strongest recommendation for hiring Steve Black in a personal injury case.

I hired Mr Black after many roadblocks in my post divorce case. I never regretted hiring him. He worked tirelessly on my case which resulted in a hearing and appeal. He was professional, intelligent, detail-oriented, and confident we would win. We did win and I could not be happier with him and his staff! He and his staff communicated well but not to the point of billing exorbitant fees. I only wish I had found him at the time of my divorce and not 6 years after! He’s a real Bulldog!

Mr Wharton was very Professional from the beginning to the very end. Anything I did not understand, he took time to explain to me so I could have a full undestanding. He made me feel like he was more concerned about my son case rather than the attorney fees. Mr Wharton was easy to get in touch with and always made his self available for me as if my son and I were his ONLY CLIENTS. JOB WELL DONE!!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrew on a traffic ticket that had been causing me considerable stress. From the very start, Andrew proved to be incredibly professional, thorough, and attentive.
I initially contacted him via email and received a prompt response. During our consultation, he took the time to clearly explain the legal process, potential outcomes, and the steps we would take together. His depth of knowledge on traffic law and regulations was evident, and he outlined a strategy tailored specifically for my case.
Throughout the entire process, Andrew was proactive in gathering all the necessary details and evidence. He questioned me meticulously to ensure that he had all the facts straight and consulted with me every step of the way. I was especially impressed with how he presented my case in court. He articulated every point with precision and clarity, ensuring that the judge had a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
What truly stood out to me, apart from his legal expertise, was Andrew's genuine concern for my well-being. He consistently reassured me, kept me updated on any developments, and was always available to address any questions or concerns I had.
In the end, thanks to Andrew's dedicated efforts, the traffic ticket was dismissed, saving me not only money but also the additional headaches that could have arisen from having a traffic violation on my record.
I can confidently say that Andrew was not just hired as my attorney, but he truly advocated for me. His commitment, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone in need of legal assistance, especially when it comes to traffic-related issues.

Mr. Lype provided very thorough and thoughtful information about the situation I brought to him for a preliminary consultation. He explained the relevant law and identified where there would be both strengths and weaknesses of a case if it were advanced, along with the possible risks. It was far more than I expected prior to an official engagement, and demonstrated to me the degree to which Mr. Lype cares about the law and helping people. I would highly recommend talking to him; even if he is not in a position to be engaged for a particular case, his experience and insights will be valuable.

Compassionate,understanding and remarkably prepared in understanding and presenting my situation to the institution that reviews and ultimately decides the outcome. His knowledge of all my past physical and emotional issues was nothing less than extraordinary. Hudson explained and clarified any and all questions and doubts that I had concerning the entire process, by the way which had a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Hudson and the entire firm to anyone who needs advice and representation for their disability concerns. Great personality and willing to go the extra mile with help and advice.

I am glad to report an excellent review of Hudson Ellis. Mr. Ellis is professional in every way, yet he is quite approachable and has the ability to make you feel important and secure. Each time we have met with him, he answered every question with full knowledge and confidence. I would certainly recommend Mr. Ellis to "go to bat" for anyone who needs a successful lawyer. We had a complicated situation but Mr. Ellis did his research and personalized what we needed and he won the case for us. The final ruling of the judge was "full favor"!

My experience with Meridian Law, specifically Mr. Rob Martin, was absolutely excellent from start to finish. He is a superb professional and person, and his vast expertise can only be matched by his prompt service and deep compassion for his clients. I came to Rob and his firm after one of the worst experiences of my life that found me in a very dire situation, to no fault of my own, and he and his colleague stopped everything to help me effectively and quickly find recourse and relief. On top of that, they gave me a tremendous value to their service since I was in a tough financial position because of the situation. I am eternally grateful to them both, and I would recommend them FIRST to any loved one. Do yourself a favor and go to Meridian Law.

I found Rob through the Tennessee bar as I am in England and was clueless! Rob was our saviour, we won judgement and spent 8 years trying to collect, in less than 2 yrs Rob did what we thought was an impossible task, the judgement was finally satisfied! Rob was easy to talk to, down to earth and made you feel like you were his only client (even though I must have driven him to distraction) We would not hesitate to recommend Rob to anyone needing legal representation.

Jon assisted me with fairly technical family matter. There were many complexities and he was always patient as we worked through the varied options.

Highly recommend.

Outcome: Jon was able to get me not only a desirable outcome but a phenomenal outcome I could not been anymore happier with his services. A must hire !

Kelly made me feel so confident and hopeful even after our very first conversation. She helped ease many worries and answered so many questions for me at all hours of the day.
After every conversation consisting only of legal issues, she would ask if I felt safe and how I was emotionally and physically. This represents just a piece of how she not only made me feel confident in her ability to handle my case, but also made me confident that she wanted to do whatever she could for me. With Kelly, you are more than the dollar you spend, you are a human who deserves respect, kindness, and encouragement, and she makes that very clear in every interaction.
Responsive, genuine, and highly knowledgeable, I would recommend Champagne Law Firm and Kelly to anyone with any legal needs.

Mr.Corbett was my attorney during a difficult time. He did a wonderful job. He kept fighting for me through a very long & difficult process. The insurance company was relentless, eventhough their client hit my vehicle from behind at an excessive amount of speed ( more than double the speed limit ).They didn't initially even offer to cover my medical expenses in full. Mr.Corbett didn't back down,he stood toe-to-toe with the well-known insurance company. He continued fighting for me through the lengthy process & the insurance company finally did relent! Kudos to Mr.Corbett! I am very thankful he was the one who fought so hard and WON my case! I HIGHLY recommend him.

He handled my documents and information with care and was extremely efficient in the planning. At the time, we had a three hour time difference between my home location and his office location, but his professionalism did not allow the time difference to impact our meetings or his services. The entire process took approximately 4 weeks and it was a pleasant 4 weeks. He went above and beyond my expectations and I couldn't have been more satisfied.

I had an existing business contract that was between family members and non family members.Original contract was kind of thrown together quickly without council and in doing so problems soon arose. With having family members being involved on both sides feelings and emotions can become an issue if not careful. Cynthia recognized this from the onset and carefully walked us through the entire restructuring process where in the end both sides were satisfied. We now have a clear contract that has taken undue pressure off both sides. I am very happy to have found Cynthia and she was a true pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend her services.

I was in a motorcycle accident earlier this year. The last thing you want to worry about when you are trying to recover from inuries like that is paperwork and dealing with insurance companies. Joel was on it only a few days after the accident and within just 6 months I had a check in my hand. He is very professional, kept me informed about what was going on, and answered all of my questions. I would reccomend him to anyone!

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.
