We have been working with Daniel Pell for years on our particular case. He has constantly kept us in the loop will all processes and guided us to what needs to be done in next steps. He was very patient to all our questions and put us at ease when we were very scared and flustered. Daniel was always straight forward and never gave us false hopes. If there was something to be concerned about, he would let us know and told us what needed to be done. He worked hard tirelessly to win our case, and he did win the case. We are so grateful to Daniel Pell and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking an Immigration Lawyer who will fight for you at all cost and not leave you struggling to figure things out on your own. He is a great lawyer with a kind heart and loves what he does.

My family and I reached out to Heidi about a charge I had from 2018. I had moved to Florida without finishing handling it and a bench warrant had been issued. Heidi was able to get the warrant dismissed and the original charge down to a summary offense that only required paying a fine. Communicating with her was seamless and she provided all the answers and details we needed. It couldn't have gone any better and I am so grateful for the work she did for me.

During my first legal issue I was a wreck and called Kathryn and her paralegal constantly, they handled me courteously and took very good care of me.
I used Steve for another legal issue and his paralegal Julie was on point with answering questions I had and was quick to respond.

I choose this law firm because the location was great for me since it's not far away and it's convenient they are open until 5pm. Had never worked with an Attorney before but wasn't impressed and glad I changed council. Fees are based on a “sliding scale” percentage depending on amount of money your working with = Expensive. In my case for an Estate account. I planned to handle basic responsibilities like opening the account to pay bills, reduce late fees, phone calls, etc. but that was made out to seem like it would be complicated and they should do all the work. $$$ Jack wasn't very personable and didn't shake my hand once. Glad I went with my gut and changed to an hourly Lawyer that was willing to let me be a part of the process and not nickel and dime me. I do not recommend and hate the idea of paying the ridiculously high bill I received for the little work that was done.

Vicky was great at getting me scheduled for a consultation quickly, and Jack was able to review my contract in easy to understand terms and ensure that all clauses are reasonable vs anything out of the ordinary and weighed the pros/cons of making a change. Fortunately, this was fairly uncomplicated and the only potential change would not be significantly relevant for me so we did not pursue any changes. He was very nice to talk with and I would certainly recommend him for others looking for contract review.

Amy worked wonders for me. She was recommended by several people I know and I can see why. She is very knowledgeable and helped me get primary custody of my daughter. She also tells it like it is and doesn't tiptoe around the issues. I'd highly recommend her to anyone with family matters.

My attorney for years was Mr. Wolfson who has been retired now for years. He was an amazing attorney also. He cared, when I worked with him it was about children and he knew they were in a bad situation and he poured himself into helping to get them to a better place. He was a very intelligent man who had many years under his belt and we fought and we won. Now he is getting ready to retire and along came Farley. He was impressed with him but he was winding down and this young lawyer was just getting warmed up. A friend of mine ended up in a horrible situation and it seemed to me they had him convicted before he even went to trial. I called Mr. Wolfson and explained the entire situation and asked him, Mr. Wolfson if this were your friend in this situation what would you do? Who would you call and he told me if it were him he would call Farley Holt. That's what we did. I saw earlier where people comment they felt he wasn't paying attention, did write things down etc. I felt that way too a bit. But I trusted Mr. Wolfson's wisdom and knew he would never steer me in the wrong direction. These kind of trials take a year or two to begin and when it's your life on the line it somewhat like torture. We also didn't Farley that often and of course worried to death how he would ever remember all of the names we gave him, the details etc...Finally the day came. A courtroom, judge and the jury all in itself is scary but it quickly became clear to us that Farley was in his element. Those names we thought he never really heard were both subpoenaed and didn't show up. He stopped the trial and had sheriffs drag them out of their beds and bring them in to face the jury. It truly was amazing. My friend was fearful but yet angry being drug through this mess for 2 years when he truly was innocent. While he was on the stand Farley spoke to him in a quiet and gentle voice. Allowed the man to tell his truth and he did great. We left the courthouse and walked back to his office and you ask, what do you think??? He told us with a jury you just really never know but now I'm going home to sit in my office and write my closing argument and do my best to save this man's life. A tense and sleepless night. Next morning we showed up again. Poor Farley's little girl had been ill that night and I had to wipe his suit where she had been laying on his shoulder. They do their closings and now, you wait....a very long and painful wait. Finally its time, we go in and he has to stand up while they read the verdict of 17 charges, one at a time. 16 Not Guilty and 1 guilty. Lord, I would not wish that on anyone, but if you ever would find yourself in that position I will give you the same advice. Call Farley. A friend of mine is an anesthesiologist and he had the same skills like Farley. He could go to a lecture in his 14th yr of Dr. school and use a note card, one side to take notes and pull off an A every time. He is listening, he cares and he's a fighter. I know one thing for sure I would never want to be on the other side of him because in my eyes he is a master at what he does. He saves lives too. This same friend is now suffering with Cancer and I've gotten to know Farley over the years and as we walk through this part of life he has been nothing but kind and helpful as we try to maneuver through the end of life issues. I am now 64 yrs old and I can tell you there is nothing much scarier in this life than being accused, jailed and put on trial for your life when you are innocent. My best advice is stay out of the York County Court System but life happens and if you find yourself there call Mr. Holt. He may not win them all but I promise you he will fight with all he has for you and I don't know what more you could ask for. I feel blessed and privileged to have had the pleasure to know him.

Met Mr Holt on 5/27/2021 - concerning a slip/fall case. He informed my wife and I we cannot get it into court. There is a judgement ,(supposedly) that was filed by the other lawyer. Mr Holt h as s yet provided us a copy of that judgement. He said he would mail it to us; as of February 2022 still do not have a copy. He also said it was based on some case from 1949 or 1949 but could never state what law. He just sat back in his chair and stated, well it's a good law. Asked again, what law. Never received a response. Sent him a gmail.....no response . I have my own thoughts about his behavior but will not mention.

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.
