Glenn was recommended to us by a close friend and we are so pleased with him. He was ALWAYS available to talk to us when we had any questions or concerns. He kept us in the loop throughout the whole process. Glenn and his assistant Michele always got back to us in a timely manner. They took a horrible situation that our family experienced and helped us through the entire process. Glenn and his team settled very quickly and worked very hard to get us an amount that our family deserved. We highly recommend him to anyone who has been in an accident. You won’t be disappointed!

I have known Denise for 20 years and can say- she is my go-to. She has represented my interest on several occasions and each time she has demonstrated reliability and determination. In each of the countless depositions I have sat along side her- Denise has been able to obtain testimony beyond my expectations. Without a doubt, she enters the room well prepared and able to change course as needed. One thing is for sure- I would not like to sit across from her. She’s tough.
Without reservation I can say- Denise is reliable and conducts herself with the utmost respect for the Law. She’s direct and always had my best interest in mind. Whenever I got off course- She’d look at me and ask… “How does that help your case?” That question alone has done so much for me. It is more than she knows.

I engaged Denise five years ago to handle a very complex set of lawsuits numbering 13 in total. They were all just settled in the best possible way for me.
She is extremely bright, dogged determined, assertive, compassionate, no nonsense and always had my best interest at heart.
I would recommend her to anyone.

I hired Rachel Rodriguez some time ago to handle my brother's immigration case. I must admit that prior to hiring Rachel, my experience with immigration attorneys had been less than satisfactory. Ms. Rodriguez, however, proved to me that there are still caring, honest and competent lawyers out there, whose dedication, intelligence and efficiency make them a credit to their profession.
Rachel Rodriguez is one of such attorneys. It was truly a pleasure working with her.

Rachel is a pleasure to work with and does excellent work! Rachel wrote a customer agreement for my technology start-up. We have a non-traditional business model. Rachel listened attentively as I described the business flow in significant detail, asked probing questions and produced a document that required few revisions and was very well written. In addition, Rachel researched and accounted for legal issues that are applicable yet we failed to consider. I am a lawyer and I recommend Rachel highly.

John Chiocca is a true professional. He cuts through the nonsense, tells you as much as you want to know, gets to the point, and works to get you where you want to be. I feel like he pulled a rabbit out of his hat with my case. At his level of success, and his (impressive) University of Virginia law degree, he could be a pompous jerk. But he's not. He's a smart, well-spoken guy, but very approachable. I highly recommend him. His wife is his law partner. I've met her, but haven't worked with her. They seem like really nice people and both are hard workers.

We had a broken pipe that caused water damage throughout our home. Our insurance company denied our claim; they said it was a longstanding leak. We hired James Spitz and after suit was filed our claim was paid-- 100%. We can't have any hire praise for James. He personally handled our claim and got the job done!

We used Mr. Marion as the mediator for a significant injury case with disputed liability. Mr. Marion very quickly and acutely focused in on the relevant issues and did an outstanding job. Both myself and my typically hard to please adjuster were impressed and we would not hesitate to recommend or again use Mr. Marion.

Debra is a great attorney! She is down-to-earth and not one of those stuck up attorneys. She handled my case with professionalism throughout the entire litigation. I constantly received emails from her giving me updates on the case and I never doubted for a second that she wasn't on top of it! If you need an attorney for contract disputes or securities issues, she is the one to go to!

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.
