I could not be more pleased with the work that Laura Dunn did in my case. She was dedicated, responsive, and attentive to not only the details of my case but to who I was as a person and survivor. She diligently addressed every single one of my concerns and questions, making sure that I was educated and comfortable at every step. Laura’s survivor-focused and professional approach ensured that I secured justice in my case and received the closure that I needed. I am positive that without Laura’s expertise and support, I would not have made it through such a daunting and difficult process. I highly recommend Ms. Dunn to all survivors seeking justice!

Laura was hired to represent me in a case at the end of this last year. She did an excellent job with email and phone communication due to my location on the west coast. I believe that Laura is very understanding and respectful of individuals who have been through personal injury and as a result have had setbacks to their education. I am extremely grateful to have had Laura as my attorney through this difficult time and would highly recommend her to those who are in need of her service.

Your guidance made a significant difference, and I am grateful for the time and effort you put into resolving this matter. I couldn't have done this without your support, and I feel fortunate to have had you representing me.
Thank you once again for your outstanding service. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future, should the need arise.

My family and I were frantically looking for a lawyer to handle our case, to which we looked at our insurance policy and called the referenced list; of three lawyers, Inna was the only one who answered. Inna was very friendly from the moment she said "hello" and knowledgeable in the particular matter we had discussed. Inna provided suggestions, that were extremely helpful, and followed up promptly while working with our insurance company. During the few conversations held, Inna was attentively and patiently listening to the details of the situation. And, yes, I know she's 'paid' to do that, but you can tell a genuine person from one who cares about business and money first, rather than people first, like Inna. While we had to ultimately part ways, from our limited experience with Inna, and not haven't spoken with a lawyer previously (on any occasion), I would heavily suggest reaching out to Inna. Inna was gracious and wished us well for our future. It was wholesome.

My problem was decades old and I was unaware it existed until recently . Mr. Bianco was courteous and respectful . He helped me understand what I needed to get done and how he planned to help me. He was patient and was not overbearing. He kept things simple ( as I asked) and got it done in a timely manner. I was confident that if there were any problems, we would work them out together to my satisfaction. There weren't any problems and the outcome was exactly as I had hoped.

I was fortunate to have a chance to consult Richard on some complex "TOPA" (Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act) issues related to a real estate purchase transaction. I have no doubt his advice has saved me substantial time, money, and headache. Having worked with many attorneys before, I was extremely impressed with the depth of Richard's knowledge, his ability to focus clearly on multiple complex issues, and articulate the options and potential outcomes in an easily comprehensible way so that someone less familiar with the landscape could absorb and act on the insights he provided. All this was efficiently packed into a brief consultation--hugely valuable when your on the clock. I highly recommend consulting Richard on any matters within areas of his practice.

Jeff and Rachel helped me navigate a difficult case with extreme knowledge of the law and professionalism. Jeff was able to negotiate favorable terms for me and stop any potential prosecution.

When I found myself being charged with crimes that I did not commit, Jeff willingly took up the case because it was the right thing to do. He worked closely with me to explain each step of the court process, give new information as soon as he got it, and followed up after the process was over. I know that Jeff usually only handles high profile cases that one can read about in the news, but he did this in his own time for very little money because he is a moral man. Jeff is hands down the most knowledgeable and skillful lawyer that I have ever met, and would certainly recommend him to anyone that is able to fit into his schedule.

Ms. Manning really impressed me with her thoroughness to my record. While the state search didn't turn anything up, she pressed on and checked databases that I didn't even realize existed and made sure that nothing from a silly mistake when I was 18 would pop up during my job search. In this job market, firms are looking for any way to reduce the size of the pool of qualified candidates. I've got peace of mind knowing that something on my record from 10+ years ago won't get in the way.

My consultation with Jarrett eased my mind immediately. It was clear he was very professional and has one interest: providing the best representation possible. That’s why I hired him and I have no regrets.
He was very responsive and patient with my questions throughout my case, and even if the case didn’t go in my favor (it did - thanks again Jarrett!), I would still be satisfied with Jarrett’s exceptional work ethic, professionalism, and willingness to take his time explaining the legal system and processes with me.
I’m so grateful for Jarrett and his representation. Truly changed my life for the better. Thank you Jarrett!

David represented me in a case where a former law firm I hired sued me for a legal fee actually earned by a successor law firm in complex commercial litigation. David very quickly understood the facts and circumstances of the very complicated multi-year litigation underlying the case and drafted with perfection all legal filings in the case, including handing the other side major setbacks at the motion to dismiss stage of the case. The case quickly settled on terms favorable to our side. He did a tremendous and unexpected (due to the complexity and unknows in the case) job representing us!! I rate him a 9 on a scale of 1 to 5. I would recommend anyone hire David for complex litigation.

I want to share how grateful I am for Joel Pettit, who helped me win a very difficult case with the Air Force Physical Evaluation Board. From the first time I spoke with Mr. Pettit, I knew I was in good hands. He really understood the entire Air Force IDES process and cared about getting the best result for me.
My case was complicated because it involved a lot of medical issues and some command issues that could have hurt my case badly. Taking care of these issues was very important to me because it could have affected my military career and my future. Mr. Pettit carefully went through every detail of my case, including all my medical records and past evaluations. He made sure nothing was missed and knew exactly how to handle the tough bureaucracy of the Air Force and the PEB process. He even contacted my command directly to figure everything out before we decided what strategy was best. Mr. Pettit did all this while I waited to hear back from my appointed JAG attorney.
One thing I really appreciated about Mr. Pettit was how well he communicated with me. He made sure to follow up frequently and didn’t get frustrated when he had to repeat himself. He explained everything in a way that I could understand, which made the whole process a lot less stressful. Anytime I had a question, no matter how small, Mr. Pettit was there to answer it. He also kept me updated on what was happening with my case, so I never felt in the dark.
When it came time for the hearing, Mr. Pettit was amazing. He presented my case clearly and made sure the important points were understood by the board. His ability to explain the details of my situation was key to getting the positive decision I needed. It was clear that Mr. Pettit knew a lot about both the legal and medical parts of my case, and this knowledge helped us win. It’s ironic that my government appointed JAG attorney didn’t contact me until the day before the hearing to offer any assistance. Needless to say I wasn’t even going think about going that route.
In the end, because of Mr. Pettit’s hard work and dedication, I got a favorable decision on every topic we appealed. This means I can move forward with my life and career. I’m so glad I didn’t use the JAG lawyer to handle my case. Mr. Pettit is an amazing PEB lawyer and advisor. I only regret not hiring him sooner.

I was lucky enough to work with Joel Pettit, a dedicated and tenacious IDES and PEB attorney, who successfully represented me from the Medical Evaluation Board through the formal Physical Evaluation Board hearing, in just under 10 months. My case centered on a PTSD diagnosis that evolved out of several preliminary diagnoses by several doctors and psychologists/therapists. My case was complex and emotionally charged, requiring not only legal expertise but a thorough understanding of Army culture and the challenges faced by Soldiers dealing with mental health issues.
From the very beginning, Mr. Pettit demonstrated an exceptional level of commitment. Understanding the profound impact that PTSD can have on a Soldier’s life, he approached the situation with the sensitivity and respect it deserved. I had served for over 10 years without getting any bad paper but was struggling with mental health issues since my last 2 deployments, an experience that, unfortunately, many Soldiers share. Mr. Pettit quickly recognized the importance of ensuring that I received the disability benefits and support necessary for my and my family’s continued well-being. I was actually amazed at how much Mr. Pettit knew about the ins and outs of the Army IDES process, specific individual staff at the PEB and even the PEB board members.
One of the most remarkable qualities of Mr. Pettit’s approach was his thorough preparation at every stage. He meticulously reviewed my medical records, service history, and all relevant documentation. This attention to detail ensured that no aspect of the case was overlooked. Moreover, he took the time to explain every step of the process so that I was fully informed and comfortable throughout the proceedings in the MEB and PEB. This level of communication was instrumental in alleviating my anxiety about the process, allowing me to focus on my treatment and family issues that kept coming up.
Joel also displayed an impressive understanding of the legal and admin complexities involved in Army PEB cases, particularly those involving PTSD. He was well-versed in the specific criteria that the VA and the PEB use to evaluate mental health issues, and he skillfully navigated the nuances of federal law, Army regulations, and DoD instructions. Honestly, I didn’t even know all those things mattered in the PEB process. His legal arguments were not only persuasive but grounded in a serious understanding of my condition and the realities of life with PTSD. This combination of legal acumen and empathy proved to be a winning formula with the PEB board members.
During the hearing, Mr. Pettit was a remarkable advocate. He presented a compelling case, drawing on fellow Soldiers’ and doctors’ testimony, medical studies, and his own experiences to paint a realistic picture of the challenges I faced with PTSD. His ability to convey my struggles in a clear and impactful manner was key in convincing the PEB to rule in my favor. The outcome of the case was a testament to Mr. Pettit’s skill, dedication, and unwavering commitment to his client.
Beyond his abilities as a lawyer, what truly sets Joel apart is his genuine care for his clients. Throughout the case, it was evident that he was not just focused on winning, but on ensuring that I received the support and resources necessary to set me up for success after I left the Army. This soup-to-nuts approach to legal representation is rare and says a lot about Mr Pettit’s character and integrity.
In conclusion, Mr. Pettit is an exceptional litigator who combines military legal expertise with compassion and dedication. His successful representation in my case is a testament to his skills and commitment to seeing Soldiers get what they deserve. For any Service member facing a similar battle, Joel Pettit would undoubtedly be an invaluable ally. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr. Pettit helped me win my Temporary Disability Retirement List (TDRL) formal PEB hearing and then filed my CRSC application, that was granted. He was very communicative and positive throughout the processes despite having to give me some hard truths along the way. Although he was a Marine JAG and is very direct, he knew how to communicate well when I was not in a healthy emotional state. He really put me at ease when I needed it most. What helped a lot was that Mr. Pettit is very transparent about his bills and where all your money is being spent. I don’ t think I’ve ever dealt with someone so open about their business and not afraid to share details. Mr. Pettit actively gave me updates, explained his strategy and made sure I understood and agreed with it all before we executed the plan. Having worked with the government assigned lawyer when I was active duty, this was 180 degrees different. I was never lost and always knew why made the moves we did. I also appreciated that he did a deep dive into my records to the point that I felt he knew more about me than anyone else. He took the time to understand all the parts of my case. I think this is what places him above all the other PEB attorneys out there. The legal arguments he made seemed to be more forceful because the facts from my case were included perfectly, letting the PEB members clearly understand how the law applied to me. In the end, I went from being separated with severance pay from the TDRL, to being retired with all of my waived retirement pay given back through CRSC payments. Mr. Pettit truely changed my life. He has my sincerest thanks and highest recommendation.

What's interesting is, I was using an IP attorney that was recommended later to find out that they were more about making money than providing a sound service. However, I was trying to find out some information regarding trademark abandonment. Through my search, I stumbled onto an article that explained abandonment thoroughly which after reading I then wanted to find out who wrote it. Once I found the source I then googled Michael to find out that he also wrote some other interesting articles in regards to Trademarking/Branding. After I read more of his articles showed me that he was very knowledgeable about IP law and that he didn't mind sharing information. I realized that he could be a great candidate for representing my business for trademarking. I had some other attorneys lined up to converse with about Trademarking, however once I called Michael and we spoke I knew that I had found the right attorney. On top of being patient and a good listener, he had very good communication skills. Michael and his team are hardworking and very responsive and must say that I'm happy that I found him to represent me. I also highly recommend him to others seeking an IP attorney.

Jonathan is an excellent person to have on your team. His work ethic is unmatched and his knowledge of the issues is always complete. All of this is great and necessary in a good lawyer, but where Jonathan separates himself from many others is in his service to his clients. He makes me feel as if I am his only client. He is immediate in responding to every request I make and always beats the deadlines, with his No. 1 goal always being taking total care of his client. He takes care of almost all of our company's corporate work, is so easy to work with, always LISTENS to my comments and then works with me to figure out what is best for me. Top notch.

I have utilized Mr. Deem on 7-10 corporate engagements over the last 18 months. Each engagement was complex with multiple counter-parties and jurisdictions and included acquisitions, divestitures, public and private refinancings, contract negotiations, and regulatory processes requiring Mr. Deem to utilize both his personal expertise as well as liaise with subject matter experts within his firm and outside firms.
The four traits Mr. Deem consistently exhibits which keep our firm coming back to him - accuracy, flexibility, responsiveness. and directness.
Accuracy -- speaks for itself
Flexibility -- lays out a range of options with explanations for the pros and cons of each option from our vantage.
Responsiveness -- typically develops a work product in a matter of days where other firms we work with take weeks to formulate a response.
Directness -- most firms will not give a straight answer, everything has caveats. Mr. Deem answers in more definitive terms such as "your position affords you x rights, the other side will take y position, and any disagreement will be argued z way with the judge ruling based on ...."
We have a great deal of faith in Mr. Deem's counsel and will continue to use his services.

In the past couple of years, I have had occasion to use Ms. Steinbach for a number of legal matters, most recently, to file a lawsuit against a builder for faulty construction and the resulting damages. She's very good at what she does -- knowledgeable about the law, driven, and very results-oriented. In addition to her knowledge and expertise, what most impresses me about Shirley is her professional demeanor and temperament. Lawyers who are all "fire and brimstone I-was-born-a-pitbull-and-will-fight-for-you (for an appropriate fee!)" are, in my experience, a dime-a-dozen (especially in DC), and often do more harm than good (polarizing/entrenching opposing sides, etc). Shirley takes the opposite approach. She's extremely level-headed and calm, even in highly contentious situations. In the litigation mentioned above, at the mediation phase, Shirley persuaded the builder to pay for over 90% of the costs of all the necessary repairs -- a far better outcome than I went into the proceedings expecting; there's no way we would have gotten to a positive outcome like this with a more contentious approach to the litigation strategy. Highly recommended.

Shirley’s professional demeanor and thoroughness served me well and I would recommend her to any client seeking a divorce lawyer.

I was initially referred to Hassan by his former colleagues at the firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. I had been apprehensive about moving forward with a lawsuit, as I was presently under much stress and lacked the time or energy to become embroiled in protracted, combative litigation. However, after several meetings with Hassan, I began to feel more confident about my case, and very comfortable with Hassan taking the lead.
As we developed our legal strategy and prepared for mediation, Hassan involved me in every aspect of the matter, keeping me apprised of each detail in a timely manner. He was willing to use every resource at his disposal to further strengthen our position. Perhaps most significantly, however, he listened to and valued my opinions, concerns and thoughts. I felt that we were very much working as a team, making decisions together.
During our mediation with the defendants, Hassan was persuasive, aggressive and creative, often resorting to non-legal arguments. Shortly thereafter, we settled the matter for a sum much larger than I ever would have anticipated. We did so without ever having to file a complaint, thereby avoiding the drudgery of litigation. From my perspective, the result was optimal in all respects. I am able to reflect on that process and on the outcome with complete satisfaction, knowing that my position was ultimately vindicated.
Today, Hassan remains a very dear and trusted friend. I have referred others to him on numerous occasions, and will continue to do so in the future.

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.
