I had little success with my case prior to hiring an attorney. The only compromise being made was by me which only empowered my ex husband. The success that I did have was the divorce itself. I gave up a lot for the legal parting of ways with my ex husband but he wanted my misery, and he went above and beyond to hurt me and make my life difficult . I am the least likely person to do the things that he was accusing me of, in the presence of strangers or meeting people for the first time it was difficult knowing that their only idea of me is coming from a man intent on taking my children away because that is the most pain he could inflict on me. My ex created a narrative about me that described a horrible mother a horrible person in general, court was very intimidating, he said everything that would make me look like an unfit mother. I was frequently rendered speechless in court, always emotional. My judge was not empathetic to an emotional display. I would leave court feeling defeated. I was getting nowhere. I began to realize that anyone could say anything about someone in court and bring them to court for any reason. After four years of court appearances I saw the light and hired Joe to represent me. The relief I felt after our first appearance was incredibly uplifting. I wasn't feeling defeated leaving court for the first time in years because Joe is in his element in front of a judge. Outside of court Joe is not a man of many words but what he does say is well thought out, honest and impactful. It's easy to tell someone what they want to hear or mislead a person to get their business. I was told what to expect and to be in it for the long haul which definitely was not what I wanted to hear, court is seriously costly. Knowing what to expect takes a lot of the stress out of the situation. I no longer have to speak to my ex-husband, he speaks to Joe and Joe knows how to handle the bitter ex and move the conversation forward which has been incredibly satisfying. Not only are we moving forward while my ex-husband’s stall tactics have been rendered useless. I have the right person to speak on my behalf, I couldn’t ask for more, Joe continuously finds tactful ways to convey to the judge the character flaws that made it necessary I get out of a marriage that had become a prison sentence. The huge amount of gratitude I have for Joe’s integrity and commitment to the outcome of my case and his unburdening me of the bullying and torment that comes with personally corresponding with my ex husband cannot be measured. There has been a positive change in my overall well-being that Joe has given me. Joe is a very talented attorney, he doesn’t just blandly write a response he composes a statement that better expresses my experience than I did for him. . I now enter the court room with confidence, I leave having made a step in the right direction and I see that there will be an end to this stage of life of frequent visits to court. There are times in life that require you to leave it to a professional. With something as personal as your time with your children being in serious jeopardy it is very hard to hand it over and trust that it will work out. Joe can be trusted to handle the delicate and personal issues of your life with great care while relieving you of the stress that can diminish your quality of life. I did not expect to know what it is to be relaxed again. Nothing compares to peace of mind. Hire Joe to represent you, bring peace into your life.

I had hurt my back pretty bad at the beginning of the year. The place I worked didn’t believe me and the insurance didn’t believe me either. There were days I couldn’t walk or move. Mr. Roberts really stepped up for me. Just being able to talk with him when I needed helped to keep me calm during the whole ordeal and he fought to help me be able to back to school and settle my case. He’s no nonsense and a straightforward person and that meant so much to me.

Mr. Mkrtychan is my corporate counsel and has guarded my interests as it pertains to client negotiations for over 2 years. Though a lawyer myself, issues that I tend to toil and stress over, Simon is able to handle in a short phone call -- easing my mind about my rights while also preserving the good will of my business (a difficult balancing act).
I would highly recommend Simon to any startup who needs a lawyer to work cost-efficiently against deadlines.

Mr. Pinasco and his team did an amazing job. Unfortunately, I've been involved in 2 accidents where I was rear ended. The first time around, I went with one of those popular TV lawyers. The next time, I chose Mr. Pinasco, and I'm so happy I did. His team paid close attention to my case and I didn't have to call around finding the paralegal assigned to my case like I did with the the TV lawyer. In addition, Irving did an amazing job negotiating my bills to the point where I received a higher percentage of the settlement compared to my previous experience. I've already referred this team to a few close friends who were involved in an accident. Don't make a decision you'll regret!!! Call Mr. Pinasco and his team if you're involved in an accident!!!!

An amazing attorney who handled my father’s case from start to finish, and exceeded what we thought would be possible . Extremely communicative, professional and is by far the best at what he does. There were times when the process was long and took its toll , but he ensured us that the end result would be worth it , and in the end it was. Thank you Mr Burgis & team for taking care of my father and his long and complicated case- he couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

First thing I learned over 20 years ago about being a professional driver is to try to get all citations reduced to non-moving violations. The idea is that you may get one that you can't get reduced and that could be the one that puts you over the limit regarding having a Taxi permit or even having your license suspended for too many points. Get them reduced when you can. It's worth the money if you want to stay in the Pro Driver business. I have used CDL Legal via OOIDA since obtaining a CDL over 20 years ago. They have produced the results I needed every time. I haven't had many citations however I always try to get them reduced no matter how many I have over the years. Thank you Wiley Ramey! You did a great job.

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.
