Mr. Crandley assisted my family in recovering funds lost to a contractor who provided inadequate workmanship and failed to complete a home remodel. He assisted not only with the lawsuit, but also with applying to recover the funds from the state licensing board (A process that is not trivial). He demonstrated incredible organization and attention to detail throughout the process, and went above and beyond to communicate each step in clear manner that was easy to understand. He was successful in helping my family recover all the lost funds and providing us with closure in a difficulty situation. I highly recommend his services in any legal matters.

Mr. Jacobson had all my witnesses in court and by my side ready and willing to back me up. He gave me his word that he will perform as professionally and efficiently as possible and he did. In fact he investigated my case more than the police department and myself. He was thorough and kept me and my wife optimistic.

The case was one where a family trust was questionably liquidated by the trustees to the exclusion of some of the beneficiaries. Earlier, another attorney had advised us that the harm to trust's excluded beneficiaries was not actionable and would probably result in the beneficiary plaintiffs being disinherited. Legal research by Ms Zizzo revealed a practice which worked around the loophole in the law which discouraged beneficiaries from bringing action against trustees with power of appointment in a trust . This resulted in a lawsuit that eliminated the risk of disinheritance and the case was settled out of court for six figures going to each of the wronged beneficiaries. Congratulations to Nate Olansen and Alison Zizzo for not only executing this project well but giving us confidence to proceed every step of the way.

Mr. Driscoll recently handled my case involving my sister's breach of fiduciary responsiblity in the handling of my late mother's income. He involved me in the process at every step and though a suit was filed, a fair negotiated settlement was reached before the case went to court. He gave me excellent advise and his genial demenor kept me sane through a very difficult time. I would not hesitate to use his services again should a need arise.

Kristen handled a property dispute matter through arbitration for us and I would recommend her. Very straightforward and has no desire to waste your funds. She did a great job and her rate was excellent for the work and communication we received. She is friendly and very knowledgeable and she works at Pender & Coward so she has many senior associates who have seen it all so your money is saved when she doesn't have to waste hours researching.

Frugal Legal Services should be the staple for how all parents are represented in custody cases. Ms. Burroughs worked hard and diligently on my case and set realistic expectations. My case had a ton of unrelated issues to custody and Ms. Burroughs was completely understanding and worked through our nearly 9 month case. Ms. Burroughs is a magical and enlightening person who gets results. I went from having no contact with my children to now everything is 50/50 and I get to see my sons every other week and have the assurance that no one should be able to change that. The only shame here is that I can only give Ms. Burroughs and Frugal Legal Services 5 stars because it doesn’t let you show off the absolute brilliance of the firm or Ms. Burroughs. Ms. Burroughs and Frugal Legal Services are the prime and top option of any family matters should anyone require those services. I will recommend them for my entire life because of the amazing work that was done.

I recently met with Mr. Todd D. Rothlisberger, Esq. and Ms. Amber Boyd after I was contacted by the Internal Revenue Service regarding a tax issue. I was getting ready to engage a tax-resolution company to assist me when a friend of mine recommended that I speak with a law firm with tax specialists instead, as he felt that would be a better course of action. After a concise and thorough initial meeting, which instilled confidence in me as to the competency of Mr. Rothlisberger and Ms. Boyd, I engaged the firm of Poole, Brooke, and Plumlee PC to operate on my behalf. The process was detailed and professional every step of the way. Their knowledge of the IRS process, system, and indeed even the IRS Agent himself, was clear from the outset and very comforting, given my unfamiliarity with and trepidation about the situation. The best-case scenario outcome was outlined to me at the appropriate point, and that was indeed the end result. I am extremely pleased with the resolution, given the circumstances, and I will not hesitate to give this firm my full endorsement to anyone who may be in a similar situation.

Scheduled an appointment for consultation and when I received the appointment it was for a phone call.. I arranged my work schedule for that day to take the call at home for privacy as I work in an office of 2000 associates. She had her office to change my appointment time and move it up and I didn’t even get 24 hour notice that she needed to change the time. Then when I could not they attempted to change to the next day like I can just tell my job I am going to run out whenever I want. She then refused the consultation all together . Very unprofessional and rude.

My attorney was everything I had expected. She held the prosecutors accountable to provide relevant evidence/ testimony. She held them to the letter of the law related to hearsay. She was timely with her objections. I felt very confident with my outcome. I know with confidence where I am going to turn for legal representation!👍🏾

7/11/24 Stephen Pfeffier represented a family member in a messy DUI case. His professionalism and straightforward demeanor with the situation was greatly appreciated.
His concern for his client did not go unnoticed and I would recommend his services to others that may be dealing with a precarious situation.
I truly believe the way he communicated with his client and his forthright to the point insights he shared: made a impact that will change the trajectory of this clients life:

Finding yourself in a turmoil of "what ifs" when faced with the end of your marriage, can be very overwhelming and unsettling. Yet, after meeting with Christine Bradley, Esquire, I am now at peace moving through this storm. She was attentive and blatantly honest about what is the law and what is just bantering. She reassured me on so many levels, about the process and the possible outcomes. In life there are times you need someone strong, smart and direct driving the boat in foul weather and I assure you, you'll make the right decision with Christine on your team.
I will surely be retaining her services in the very near future.

If there was an option for zero stars, I would have chosen it. As others have stated, the attorneys do not respond to emails or phone calls and can’t seem to get anything done because they have incompetent assistants. Their billing practices are questionable and I wouldn’t be surprised if one or more of their attorneys end up in front of the Bar Association again.

If I could have given Nicole zero stars, I would have. I have never seen a more one sided attorney in my life. During the most important court case I’ve ever had to deal with (custody), She gave the most inaccurate, opinionated prospectives I’ve ever witnessed. She never viewed ANY of my supporting documents and literally spoke to me for 5 minutes during a custody hearing. That is hardly enough time to make a determination on the rightful guardianship of a child.
I would not hire her to represent my goldfish let alone leave my lively hood in her hands.
Good luck to whoever is forced to have her as court appointed anything.

I have NEVER seen someone so sloppy and unprofessional in the court room. She would blatantly flirt with my ex husband in front of the entire court room. She was supposed to represent my child but was in his back pocket the entire time. She spoke to me for exactly 44 minutes through our entire (months long) process meanwhile she was running to my ex after the court hearings. Offered him a home visit I didn’t get, and blatantly LIED to the courtroom and in her evaluation. She gave all of her reports late and they had absolutely nothing factual, just what she took as truth from my ex husband. This woman is a disgrace and I do not know how she sleeps at night being the vile disgusting excuse of a human that she is. If she is assigned to you, especially if you’ve been abused by the other party, GET HER OFF YOUR CASE NOW. She should not be allowed in another courtroom or to be the voice for another child ever again.

During the course of my husband and I filing bankruptcy, Nicole kept us informed every step of the way. She was more than willing to help us find a way to get important documents to her that the trustee would accept. She never became overwhelmed. I would recommend her to any one going through bankruptcy in Virginia.

After retaining Bradley Brickhouse, his demeanor quickly changed. He did not write up in the claim for the case what was discussed and purposely did it in such a way to string it over time, to make more money. He was rude, lied multiple times about multiple things. I had to fire him. I would stay far away from him and his firm.

I consulted with Mr. Brickhouse about him taking over as guardian. He had no patience with me and demanded immediate responses to his questions. Unfortunately, I couldn't hire him due to his temperament.

Received guardianship over my daughter through Mr Brickhouse about 6 months ago. At first he was really nice, but after a while he got upset for me for doing or not doing things I did not know because he didn’t tell me, and I’m not a legal expert. Then he pretty much stopped talking to me. The guardianship paperwork I have was never fully explained to me. It has a lot of difficulties, for example when my daughter started receiving disability payments recently the bank has rejected this guardianship/conservator paperwork, and the checks are not able to be negotiated with the current document. The checks are made out to me “for my daughter “ . The bank referred to the language as ‘vague” in the guardianship paperwork, and now this money I need for my daughter cannot be accessed as the checks cannot be deposited into an account in her name because I am the payee,and cannot be deposited into my bank because the guardianship language is “too vague” per the bank. The only benefit from this guardianship paperwork was my ability to retain legal counsel on her behalf. I was not able to admit her to a hospital even though the paperwork says I can. Again, the hospital did not find the language in the guardianship sufficient to do so.

Dishonest, manipulative, low professional standards. Bad manners in the Court room. Lacking of understanding and consideration of other people’s opinions and feelings. Arrogant. Takes advantage of other to achieve
his own goals. He doesn’t even deserve a star. Does not send documents properly and that
jeopardize the case.
His office clerk is rude
Would NOT recommend 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.
