Меня обвенили в краже с магазина и мой адвокат боролся за мою невеновность. Мой адвакат сделал добросовестно свою работу. Они несмогли докозать мою вену. Мой адвокат выграл судебное дело и меня оправдав закрыли дело.

Eugene has been nothing short of an excellent source of information, support and structure throughout my MVA. He made the process easy to understand, effectively communicated our team’s goals and hopes to the litigation, and transformed it into a winning settlement that exceeded my expectations. I cannot give Eugene enough praise for sticking with us through the 3 and a half years between the courts, lawyers, medical visits and paperwork signing. If you need an attorney this is the only one worth hiring.

Recently, Eugenie worked on my case (civil suit). I was the defendant, Eugenie was very attentive, He tried to clarify every detail about this case. He prepared me well for the trial, Eugenie represented me at the trial and we won the trial! I was incredibly happy, because I had to win this case and Eugenie did it! The most important thing I can say is that Eugenie not only prepares well for a case - he feels what needs to be said to the judge for the highest chance of winning the case

We’ve used the services of Susheela Verma for over 15 years both at the personal and professional level. I personally came to know her as an employee of one of her corporate clients in to 1998. When I started my own business, I reached out to her to her for our legal needs. Over these years she has been our attorney for corporate litigation, regulatory compliance, business immigration and personal needs. I have found her grasp of complex business/legal issues is quick and her advice is direct and insightful against any potential negative/risk scenarios in protecting our business interests. I have found her to be a capable negotiator. Needless to say, in my two decades of experience with her, her advice may not please you but it is has been the right advice for our business. Needless to say, our experience has been very positive and successful.

We were so happy with Mr. Gelfond's services that I feel the need to elaborate on the previous review posted by us. His service stood in stark contrast to another attorney we had hired two years ago. Our reasons for hiring Richard Gelfond: a) Richard's practice areas, Real Estate, Litigation and Foreclosure, are the best suited for real estate deals. b) Multiple decades worth of experience. c) Excellent reviews on various websites. d) Picking up the phone himself both the times we called him initially. Our experience with Richard Gelfond: a) He always picked up his phone himself unless he was not in office. There were never any layers of secretaries or legal assistants. With the previous attorney, we always used to hit a bureucratic wall. b) Emails were answered promptly, quite a few times within minutes. c) We never had to push him to pursue any matter. In fact, he used to remind us if we lagged behind in giving a response!!! With the previous attorney, we had to keep calling over multiple days in order for a response to be sent out. d) During the attorney review of the real estate contract, I could not find any clause which he had missed. With the previous attorney, I had to suggest clauses. e) He kept us informed at each step, keeping us in the loop while communicating with various entities like the title insurance company, bank's attorney, surveyor etc. f) He always patiently listened to what we had to say, never loosing his temper. We can unequivocally recommend him as a real estate attorney and shall certainly hire him again and none else.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success.
  3. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
