We contacted Mr. Milligan for assistance in a situation which occurred with our daughter at college. She was extremely reluctant to have assistance as most teens are, but after working with him, she confessed she was so glad he was there. Mr. Milligan was kind and compassionate while being very honest and realistic about the situation. We would definitely recommend Mr. Milligan to anyone needing legal assistance.

Stuart Sarratt helped me when I was at the lowest point in my life. I was fighting 3 felony charges that I was not guilty of, I was completely broken. I felt lost and didn’t know who to turn on to but then Stuart came into my life, my case, and fought for me. He was compassionate, he listened, he’s raw and uncut. He’s seriously one of Greenville’s best. I would recommend this gentleman to anyone who is looking for a really good defense attorney THAT ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HIS CLIENTS AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM ONCE THE DOORS TO THE COURT ROOM SHUT. Hire Stuart. He is simply innate to this work.

My ex used her in our divorce. She and her firm ran up his fees (expecting ME to pay them), to recover a lesser amount from my retirement plan in a QDRO. Never made a good effort toward settling the case (which was relatively small). Went all the way to a final hearing. Remember, when you lose based on crappy advice, you still have to pay THEIR bill. I almost felt sorry for him.

Superior support. She helped me navigate the divorce process and took a common sense approach to solving the issues. When I got emotional about something, she kept me in check with solid, honest feedback. In the end she saved me hundreds of thousands over my lifetime because of her knowledge and skill. Her office was also very responsive. We had to push the tempo in my case and she did just that. I was kept informed the whole way and no time was wasted. Her fee was fair. There are less expensive lawyers out there, but I know she earned every penny. At the end of the day, for me it was about the long run. I wasn't looking for a transactional attorney, I was looking for someone who would have my best interest in mind. I would recommend her and if I had to choose again, it would easily have been the same choice. Thanks Colleen!

After speaking to several lawyers in my area, and feeling as though the process of divorce would be costly and unpleasant, even though there were few reasons it should be, I met with Craig in his Historic Downtown office. He made me feel at home, and comfortable that it didn't have to be so terrible. He stayed in communication with me, helped me not to worry when other lawyers were involved, and through humor, made the process far less grueling than it could have been. In the end, his estimated costs were spot on, and there were no hidden fees or surprises. I would highly recommend anyone to use him.

I needed direction on a 50 foot right of way into my property due to a change of ownership and use of the property in front of my farm. Joe Ginn gave me excellent insight and assistance into what to do to acquire a new recorded plat from the new owners as the access road for the right of way had been moved. As a result, I have received a copy of the new plat from the new owners with the new location of the right of way delineated.

With his vast amount of knowledge and experience on full display, I remained confident every step of the way. In closing I would have to say that after working with Will for the last couple years that he is a fine lawyer and I will most definitely hire him if another situation arises.

If you are involved in a car accident and suffer injuries, this is the law office to call. We tried to handle things on our own and could not get anywhere with the insurance company, and their client. Once Mr. Jones became our lawyer the stress was gone. Mr.Jones stayed in communication with us and addressed our questions and concerns in a timely manner. He was a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend this lawyer and law firm! James Giannakos

After my kids had been taken away from me and alienated from me, I was beginning to lose faith that I would ever see my kids again. Then in 2021, I found myself facing DSS regarding made up allegations of abuse fabricated by my ex-wife. This office not only handled my case with DSS, they also helped me regain custody of my 4 children (some of whom had been allinated from me for over 7 years). My personal thanks goes out to Douglas Barker, Daryn Barker, and Andrew Brener. This mericle would not have been possible without them.

STAY AWAY! Save your time and money - go somewhere else! Especially if Leila Louzri and her crappy paralegal Nikki Tesnar take your case. They don’t respond, started my appeal 3 months ago and didn’t send the disability companies my medical records which were received over two months ago! I’ve emailed them both about 5 times this week with no response so I guess they want to lose the ability to continue representing me. Nikki the paralegal has a terrible attitude and seriously needs to retire! She is cranky, negative and unhelpful. They will be getting fired on Monday and I can’t wait! I’ll never leave my well being or money up these degenerates.

Should not be allowed to practice family law based on personal experience. Ryan will tell you what you want to hear to get your money and then tell you something totally different after he gets your deposit money…. BEWARE!!! Ryan and his practices lack of attention to detail is appalling. First year in I discovered the modification I agreed to for 1 holiday did not make it into the final documents. Time sharing is written incorrectly for what was previously agreed to. Never let his firm write a dollar value for retirement assets because you will be responsible for the loses of those accounts and his firm will not back you up. 3 years after my divorce I am forced to take out a personal loan to pay for a divorce settlement that was supposed to come from my retirement accounts. Instead of 50/50 asset disbursement I am now forced to pay out of pocket for his firms lack of ability to represent the value of my pension retirement account. The agreement was written so poorly the QDRO attorney hired to handle retirement disbursement couldn’t even do their job because his firm did not write the agreement correctly. If you want to be haunted by a divorce decree hire Shwartz law firm because I can assure you that’s what will happen to you. Ryan will also admit to his mistakes but cares less about how you have to pay for his mistakes. If only I could give zero stars.

I was referred to the Finkel Law Firm, specifically Dylan Glick by the SC Lawyer Referral Service. I was scheduled with an appointment for 10/3/24 @ 9am which was a 3 week wait. I called at 9:05 am since no one had contacted me. I was told I was Mr. Glick was tied up on another call, then I was told Mr. Glick does not have me on his schedule. I was put on hold yet again and another person came on telling me my appointment was at 2pm and she never schedules consults for early morning! I'm not really certain why I was treated this way; however, it's absolutely unacceptable. Perhaps because I was referred by the SC Lawyer Referral Service and they discount their fee for the initial consultation. I did reach back out to the SC Lawyer Referral Service to file a complaint and also to find a different attorney for my specific need!

As a father, nothing means more to me than my kids. At the time I had been fighting for my kids with little to no success. I was recommended to Finkle Law Firm 2 years ago, and it's the best decision I've ever invested in. They did the impossible, and helped me gain full custody of my kids, and even more so, had it finalized. Even was able to get the divorce finally done and over with. As well, Finkle Law Firm assisted me with my car wreck, and helped me gain a lot more of a settlement than had I tried it by myself. If you need a law firm that'll stick by your side til the very end, look no further than Finkle Law Firm!

I recently chose Sammy Diamaduros as my closing attorney for my new home purchase in Union, South Carolina. Based on my experience, I can confidently say that he is an exceptional attorney who provided outstanding service throughout the entire closing process. From the initial consultation to the final closing, Sammy was professional, knowledgeable, and highly communicative. He took the time to explain every step of the process in detail and answered all my questions in a clear and concise manner. He was also extremely patient and addressed all my concerns with genuine care and understanding. Sammy's expertise in real estate law was invaluable. He meticulously reviewed all documentation and ensured that everything was in order, protecting my interests every step of the way. He also proactively identified potential issues and addressed them promptly, preventing any delays or complications. Beyond his legal expertise, Sammy's interpersonal skills were truly remarkable. He was friendly, approachable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns, even outside of regular business hours. This made a significant difference in reducing the stress and anxiety associated with the closing process. If you are looking for a closing attorney who will go above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful closing experience, I strongly recommend Sammy Diamaduros. He is an excellent attorney and a truly valuable asset to the Union community. Such an honor to work with true professionals that show they care from the beginning to the end. Jason W Plum

Tim was willing to listen and understand my concerns. While he wasn't able to take on my specific case he did his research and followed up with me on recommendations that have put me on the right track. It's certainly more than he was required to do, but he was also courteous, patient, and understanding of my very unique situation. Thanks so much for the help Tim.

This guy is a joker. I paid him $2500 dollars and never heard anything for three days so I told them I wanted my money back and was firing him. They didn't send me money as I paid online and said they were going to send me a check and I told them I was in Florida. I didn't get home for weeks later and then cashed their check. They stopped payment on the check because of my online dispute. It has been over 60 days I still don't have my money, my bank doesn't respond so I filed a compliant with the bar. If you want to lose your money hire this guy he's a winner!

Mr. Barker is a fantastic attorney! I cannot imagine having a better experience with my unpleasant divorce. He is confident, assertive, and has a strong presence in the courtroom (and it doesn't hurt that he is always in a well-fitting suit and has crazy good posture). My divorce was final about nine months ago and I still do not understand how I walked away in good shape! I was absolutely terrified of my husband and of the divorce process--I am fairly young, in school full-time, and my ex is not kind to say the least--but Mr. Barker walked me through the entire thing with compassion and wisdom. I genuinely felt that he listened to everything I said and fought for what I wanted and what was best for me. He was quick to return my calls if I had to leave a voicemail and always answered all of my questions (even those that were probably irrational). Bonus: I never ever felt like he was talking down to me or over my head. My ex-husband is nasty and spiteful, and Mr. Barker advocated for me in such a way that my ex actually played relatively nice AND he got me a good deal of money when I was expecting absolutely nothing! I know he got me more than what I should have gotten, and I am certain that this only happened because Mr. Barker was dedicated to my case and fought hard for me. His solutions were creative and realistic, and seriously he was so incredibly kind to me throughout the entire process!

If you need an attorney that will win your case for you then she's the one. She represented me in my divorce. My ex was spiteful and even went so far as to hire a PI. I was so afraid and had never been through anything like this in my life. She assured me that everything was going to turn out the way I wanted. She was right and I walked away with everything I deserved. She's a excellent atty and knows the law. It does not matter if you are not in Simpsonville, SC.

Kimberly treated me like family from day one. She can read people and is an excellent judge of character. If she chooses you as a client you can put all your fears to rest. She fought with me for two years, assuring me the whole way I was in good hands. She answered every email, every phone call and every fear I had the day of. She doesn’t play. Do what she asks, when she asks, because she only has your best interest at heart. She even showed up to my court date with the flu. I thank God everyday her and Carolyn were in my corner. She has given me the time with my daughter I requested, and the piece of mind knowing I am always in good hands with her. A year after my divorce has been finalized she still returns my emails the day of and has yet to charge me a dime. An attorney who truly cares about her clients, and is willing to fight tooth and nail for you. We walked into mediation against three attorneys and a paralegal, and walked away smiling. I am forever grateful for Kimberly and her team.

Kimberly has no manners at first I thought OK she is a tiger. No she is clueless. She arrived late for our hearing. She had the county, clerk, and the judges names all wrong on the document and at the last minute was making changes in the hallway and having initials signed by me and my ex. It was very unprofessional. I was embarrassed. Who gets the wrong county on the docs wrong??? She completely doesn't care what you think. Her appearance was unprofessional. I was supposed to receive a check from my ex and asked her about it 2 times. Her reply was yes he will give it to you. I was also given the wrong copy of the final doc. It was one mistake and blunder after another. Very unprofessional and I would not hire her. I had to hire another attorney to get my divorced finalized after the one year.

My experience with Adam Owensby and Seibert Law Firm was far from favorable, lacking the "quality client representation" they claim to provide. During my initial $275 meeting with Adam, he took only about five sentences of notes and advised me to write a letter to the other party as his sole suggestion. Later, when I learned the other party was taking me to court, Adam sent a $3,000 payment request—without a retainer agreement or any explanation for the discrepancy from the verbal quote he had given during our meeting. I emailed Adam to inquire about the retainer agreement and the price difference, but after a week with no response, I called Seibert Law Firm, specifically asking to speak with Kevin or Rebecca Seibert to clarify if this was standard practice. Instead, Adam returned my call, claiming he hadn’t received my email and offering excuses. I again requested to speak directly with Kevin or Rebecca and ended the call. Adam then called back, saying Kevin was available. After I explained my experience in detail, Kevin also made excuses for Adam’s behavior. Despite the website stating, "call for a free consultation," my initial meeting cost $275, and the only advice provided was to write a letter to the other party. It seems Seibert Law Firm’s standard practice includes sending payment requests without any contract, retainer agreement, or clear explanation. Additionally, I was repeatedly told that I "live in a red state" and was once told I "rub people the wrong way" for standing up for my rights—comments that felt irrelevant and unprofessional. Bottom line: It felt as though Adam Owensby’s focus was more on collecting fees than on providing genuine quality representation. My recommendation: Proceed with caution if you’re considering Adam Owensby or Seibert Law Firm. If you’re looking for an attorney genuinely invested in your case, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Hired through Lemon Law Group in 2021, was passed around from paralegal to paralegal at least 5 or 6 times. No one ever wanted to contact me back and nothing seemed to be getting done. Recently I was made aware that not only is there another paralegal but a different attorney also. I was also made aware today that this lawyer dropped the ball and really screwed me over and cost me a lot of money because I was told the defendant in the case submitted a request for dismissal back in May of 2023 and it was granted so obviously this man never showed up for court or did anything on my case, now I have paid into a lemon vehicle for a couple more years all because of this man's negligence. I am so upset that I have been drug around for all this time for nothing. This car is now worth less than I owe on it so I am completely screwed. Thanks alot.

Hired Shea for alimony adjustment. I did inquire at initial meeting about the new law of 2017 concerning taxes. He said that i was not eligible. He was wrong! My CPA informed me of this at tax time. Too late now.

After reading the review that said that it may seem like she is buddy buddy with the other side, I was hopeful that given enough time all would equal out, but I was sadly mistaken. Her last billing recorded $250.00 of billable time speaking with the other side and Zero, that's right ZERO, time speaking with me. She even paid my stbx a courtesy home visit while I had to practically beg her to visit my home. She believed every word of the lies he told her and never bothered to check even one of them out with me. Her final report was filled with inaccuracies and exaggerations and she recommended full custody for my ex, which he got. Even when I told her my child was a victim of PAS, she wrote in her final report that I called my child a liar. It was a horrible experience, and although I have never before written a review, I felt it necessary in this case.

She was made aware of important information and details of marriage . For some reason decided not to look at this further, probably in order to win our case. Now people are having to deal with this important information that is still a very scary serious issues that needed to be acknowledge in final agreement.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You

A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.

Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.

When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?

Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:

  • Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
  • Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
  • Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
  • Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
  • Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
  • Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?

A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
  • Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
  • Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
  • Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
  • Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
  • Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
  • Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.

How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?

Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
  • Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
  • Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.

Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.

How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
  • Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.

Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer

Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case.
  3. What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
    Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation.
  4. How long will the mediation process take?
    Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests.
  6. Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
    Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.

How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
  • Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
  • Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
  • Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
  • List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
  • Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
  • Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
