Been trying to get in contact with him for months. We hired him and payed him. Can’t even get a new lawyer because mr Lucas has not answered his phone to give permission to pass the case. Very disappointed in him. Things were very good. And then he stop talking to us. Went by the office they said he wasn’t taking guests or was in court.

I (luckily) haven't had to deal with many lawyers in my life, but this location is a complete joke. Norma Jean is the first person you'll, unfortunately, run into and she makes it known from the beginning that you are inconveniencing her and she can't wait for you to be out of her face. I went to speak with an attorney, and for whatever reason they weren't in the office, I asked Norma Jean when they should be expected back and she immediately snapped back, "How would I know? I'm not a secretary!" I was surprised at the reaction so it took me a minute to gather my thoughts, but she managed to throw, "Is there anything else?" With the same horrible and unnecessary attitude. I just wanted to get out of there at this point, so I just asked for a card, I got a sigh out of her (of course), and I left. Afterwards, I tried calling the number on the card multiple times over at least 2 weeks to schedule another meeting and I just kept getting sent to voicemail. Finally, after weeks of hearing nothing from these attorneys, the issue was resolved and about 3 days after that, the attorney's assistant finally decided to return my call. I was shocked by how unprofessional, rude, and uncaring this 'professional' attorney's office was. I will never waste my time and money on them again and I recommend no one else does either. There are much better lawyers in Las Vegas.

On the evening of September 24, 2023, at 6:15 p.m. I was driving to my work as a night shift nurse at UMC as I have done 100’s of times before. I was traveling from my home in Henderson north on the 95 freeway to exit at MLK Blvd. At the 95/MLK off ramp I waited for the light to turn green then turned left onto MLK. I was then T-Boned by another vehicle traveling south on MLK that ran the red light. The full front of his car had severe damage. The right side of my car had moderate damage but was undriveable due to damage to the right front wheel. I got out of my vehicle and approached the vehicle that struck me. He appeared to be intoxicated. He was attempting to leave and was speaking to me in Spanish. Then in English he told me “We go, no police.” I called 911 and a brief time later an NHP officer arrived. He took my statement and called for a Spanish speaking officer to come and speak to the other driver. A Spanish speaking officer arrived and spoke to the other driver. The NHP officer gave me a report number. At this time, a friend or family member of the second driver arrived. They did a little work to his car then drove away. I could not drive my car due to the damage. My husband arrived and called AAA to have our car towed. Once my Adrenaline, calmed down my back and shoulder were hurting, and I went to the St. Rose De Lima Emergency Room from the accident scene where they performed a CT scan, X-Rays, and prescribed pain killers. I went home and rested and lost five days of work. I went to St. Rose Physical Therapy for 23 visits over a three month period and had three follow up doctors’ visits. Our car had $3745.40 worth of damage and was repaired by Frank’s Auto Body. We paid a deductible of $500.00. I was hit by a driver who was a Mexican citizen with a Mexican driver’s license. He was driving a car rented in Mexico. He had an insurance policy for the rental car with an office located in California. We contacted the Ed Bernstein Law Office the day after the accident because they have an office near our home. We provided them with the police report, photos, road maps, etc. They contacted the insurance company of the other driver and told us at first they were not responding then later told us they refused liability as their driver claimed I had run the light and his was green, which was not true. He hit me, he had severe front-end damage, his speed was fast enough that his air bags were deployed, my damage was on the passenger side. There were no witnesses, and the police report did not indicate who was at fault since neither officer witnessed the accident. Our insurance company, USAA, after their investigation declared we were not at fault. After six months the Ed Bernstein law firm informed us they were dropping the case as there were no witnesses and declared it to be a He said/She said case that they could not win. We disagree as the relative damage to each vehicle clearly shows the other driver hit me. I feel the Ed Bernstein Law Office gave up too easily without fighting for me. It took a month from the time of the telephone call informing us that they were dropping the case to when we received the certified letter dropping the case so I could proceed with another law firm.

I had full custody sole legal and sole physical. I hired Posin to answer a motion. He never got the case settled but was okay with continuing the case from opposing counsel. This was all at my expense. Because it was during Covid this guy used a hardship to overcharge immensely. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY.

We have used Mr. Posin several times for my brother in criminal actions. He has always managed our expectations, but in the end made miracles happen. He is direct with regards to the case and possible outcome, prompt in returning calls and answering any questions we had, and his staff is always wonderful. I work for an attorney myself, and Jeff has all of the qualities I was looking for. Definitely recommend his office.

I was given a recommendation from a very dear friend of mine who had used Rebekah to represent her in her divorce. I was having some issues with child custody with my ex-husband. Sometime this summer I decided to give her a call and ask her some questions regarding my situation. Mind you, I had never met her and she went above and beyond to give me some sound advice. It wasn't until the end of August that I realized I needed to hire her to represent me in the custody proceedings. I was upset, angry and dumbfounded in the situation I was in. From the very start she was empathetic, made me feel at ease and boosted my much needed confidence. Through out the whole proceedings, she was professional, knew exactly what she was doing and really went to battle for me. I could not have asked for a better attorney and most importantly a better outcome. She worked with me financially and most importantly she represented my case in a way that the judge saw the truth in the end. I came out a winner and still have my son. If you are going through a divorce or having child custody issues, I highly recommend Baumgardner Law. Thank you Thank you Rebekah!

I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND hiring this office. I’m a Clinical Social Worker and my job is to advocate for my clients which is the exact opposite of what this office has done for us. It seems to me that Josette O’Mealia takes advantage of people in desperate situations. We paid her $4500 for her “services” which were to include filling out three simple immigration forms and assisting us throughout the immigration process. We met with her one time before actually retaining her and never again as we kept getting excuses for why she couldn’t meet with us. We asked her office over and over again to assist us with our process and to help us expedite our claim as I was transferring my job and my husband needed work authorization. Her office did not help and actually provided us with inaccurate legal advice saying that we “had to wait normal USCIS processing times, sorry”. We ended up filing an expedite request ourselves and submitting the additional evidence that was requested by USCIS. We were able to get my husband’s work authorization approved with no help from the attorney that we paid good money for. We voiced our concerns to Josette and she refused to address our concerns and instead was very entitled and essentially told us to deal with it or no longer work with her. It’s for this reason that we are filing an ethics complaint against this office. We attempted to resolve the issue directly with her, but she’s more concerned with taking our money for work she has not and at this point will not perform. Do yourself a favor and find a more experienced and more professional attorney. She has only been an attorney since 2019. Her office even told us they don’t do expedite requests because they have too many clients. This is exactly what we retained this office for as it was an emergency. We definitely didn’t pay $4500 only for her assistant to assist us with three forms. They had no problem taking our money, but did not do the work. Please save yourself a headache and go somewhere else!

I met Ms. O' Mealia two weeks ago when my husband and I got a letter from USCIS informing us we had an interview with only three day notification. We called this law firm because on our first interview with USCIS we used their services. We went with Att. Acosta, and we were very satisfied with his knowledge and professionalism, anyways when we called the office they informed us that she might not be able to take the case because she had a very booked day but they would call me back to let me know. Now mind you they were our only option because we only had two exact days to get ready for this interview. The office called us back within an hour to inform us Ms. O'Mealia had moved around some appointments around for us and that she would accompany us to the interview! and that she would also meet with us a day before the interview for any questions. Since we were traveling from Elko, NV 4 hours away from Reno we couldn't be at the appointment at the time we had scheduled with the firm. They again worked with us and made it to were we could come see them as the last appointment of the day. when we came in on the appointment day, of course I am worked up because this is my husbands second interview with USCIS for his adjustment of status and the first interview was so uncomfortable and invasive( even though we have been married for over a decade) so my thought process was "this is gonna horrible". She saw me right away and knew that I was all nerves. She was so kind and so helpful to put my mind at ease. She was amazing! I am certain that our interview would not have gone the way it did without her. At the end of the interview again the officer did not tell us if we got approved or not. he said " I will do another background check and we will send you a letter of our decision in the mail." So again I left with a knot in my stomach, she knew that so she checked our case over the weekend and gave me a personal phone call to inform me my husband had been approved! Like what other attorney does that? I am so grateful the guy above appointed her to be our representative. If we had to do this again I would certainly put our case in her hands without a doubt, that is how confident she was and made me feel. If you need someone confident and competent I would not look anywhere else. I wish the firm we went with had these qualities, don't get me wrong my husbands easy case turned into a two and half year dreadful case and the initial firm we went with delivered but was such a big firm and super far away that they did not have the compassion or the time to help put your mind at ease they were more to the point and move on to the next case. attorney Josette O'Mealia would have been my first choice!

First time I've never been in trouble with the law and I had Kale Brock as my PD. He isn't reachable at all! If you ever get the unfortunate assignment of him to represent you, make sure you've got your phone set up to accept private numbers or you'll NEVER hear from him! And his office can't reach out to tell you there is an issue, so you get to discuss your case 5 minutes before your court time, in a corner in the lobby! And he works for the county so you won't get good representation or he'd get fired!

A few years ago (2018), I contacted Michael Reason, and he replied almost immediately. Details of my case were very personal but he gave me excellent and sound advice, was always available and everything worked out smoothly. The case did not go to court but was instead resolved by Mr. Reason. One of the things I liked about him the most was the manner in which he covered every detail, so I felt very comfortable. I utilized his services again, briefly, in October of this past year, for some assistance and a consult again. I give him 5 stars for intelligence first, then thoroughness, plus the ability to organize everything competently.

I retained Michael to work on my custody case that is still pending. His office staff never knew what was going on with my case and neither did he. I had to constantly remind him what my name was and what our case was about. I received lots of calls from his staff telling me he wouldn't move forward with my case until they got a payment. The payments had already been made and were lost. When it came time for our first court hearing, Michael sent another attorney that was sub-contracted in his place. I didn't know this man or know anything about him. And he sure didn't know a thing about my case. The one thing this other attorney did know was MY EX!! As he and I entered the court room the two of them saw one another and bantered back and forth for 15 minutes. My ex used to work for this attorney years prior. And come to find out, this attorney was a credit repair attorney not a family law attorney. I was livid. I asked the attorney to continue the hearing so that I could speak with Michael and work this all out. The attorney denied my request and went ahead with the hearing, making crucial mistakes. When I called to confront Michael about the situation, he turned into a real jerk and refused to do anything to remedy the situation and demanded that I pay off my bill with him and he was firing ME. What a joke. This guy is a complete quack. Don't waste your time or money on this completely incompetent "attorney". Last I had heard, he wasn't even practicing anymore. Thank God!

I also studied law while in college. This gentleman makes sure he knows his law practice and is also updated to any changes in the government and state laws.

I met Mr. Barrick in Clark County "Veterans" court, he introduced me to his buddy and the both of them got my VA claim sorted-out and filed correctly, after years of hearing there was little help the VA Healthcare system could provide me, with Mr. Barrick and his staff's help I was re-evaluated by the VA and given an accurate disability rating. I went to the VA for help after 8yrs of service as a medic in Spec Ops. After years of injuries and bad-memories, after having a VA (narcoleptic) psychiatrist fall asleep in a session, the lies and delayed service I met someone who could help me. Travis Barrick (& Will) got a homeless-veteran back into society. Their friendship is lifelong.

Ardea was very instrumental in resolving a water damage claim which resulted in extensive damage to the first floor of our home. After 6 months of trying to deal with the insurance on our own, and the insurance company not willing to pay for the damages caused by their client's negligence, we hired Ardea. Once Ardea was involved, the insurance company finally took full responsibility for the damages done to our home and we were able receive a settlement which allowed us to repair the damages done to our home. I highly recommend Ardea and her staff. They are very professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

This man is a joke I went to him for help and I sware he was like the attorney for the company I had a complaint with. This man is a lawyer and had no idea who the ERC is smh. You have better look going to court yourself and handling your case. What lawyer do you know that receptionist says he's in his office everyday from 9-5 and takes lunch at 2. Real attorneys are usually in court and not in the office for 8 hrs a day 7 days a week. I don't recommend this man at all.

Andrea Sharp was my PD. She showed up to my court case and hadn't reviewed my case and had to ask the judge for time to review The next court appearance she left half way through and a PD I had never met took over and did a nice job. Being as she was new to the Office I cut her some slack but I hope she has gotten better with more experience

I met with Ms Banda as an initial consult. She was warm and friendly. She took lots of notes, and said she would love to take my case because it was very strong. She had to consult with the senior partner to see if they could take the case on contingency. I never heard from her again. I called and called but she had always "just stepped out". Finally I just arranged to stop at the office and pick up the case documents I had given her, I finally did receive a letter offering to take the case for (a rather large) retainer and $200. to $300. per hour. Oh well, so much for justice for "the little guy" .

Contacted Bowen Law firm a few weeks ago and Sarah was interested in our case and told us she will contact us in the next few days. Now after 5 weeks and numerous phone calls and emails to get an answer we are still waiting. Time to find a new lawyer. This one is obviously either to busy or has no interest in your case even though she pretends otherwise.

When faced with an extremely challenging situation, Sarah Banda of Bowen Law Offices, was exactly what I needed. She was very well versed and knowledgable of the precise law regarding my matter and yet communicated with me in a way that was easy to understand leaving me with me a sense of peace to move forward with. Sarah is an extremely trustworthy attorney that was punctional and responsive, and I would highly recommend her council and representation for any of your legal needs.

The worst Attorney I have ever used. I am being billed frivolous charges and not even receiving return phone calls from Dean or his assistants. After sitting down with Jackie his assistant last week, at her suggestion, due to his continued absence. I was told I needed to wait 4 business days to get a follow-up on the letter on both cases, motions and further counsel...when I called yesterday Sept. 14th back to back, I was hung up on!? What's worse is Jackie his assistant talked to my ex-wife and whatever she said to her was a disadvantage to me because right after that phone call, My ex-wife claimed she didnt agree with the Stipulated Order and decided to jump ship and get an attorney...and Dean DIDNT CHALLENGE THAT EITHER! This is ridiculous and I want a full refund for every dime that My girlfriend and I have given to Dean. He never did anything. He has taken over $3000 from my gf and I and he hasn't filed anything. He was late to every appearance. He has not represented or defended me at all in either of these custody cases. Dean Kajioka is the worst Attorney I have ever seen and I will be filing with the state board so no one else can be a victim to his Bullying antics. May God Forgive him for his evil actions.

Retained attorney Dean Kajioka for a civil matter. Dean Kajioka filed a lawsuit on my behalf and that was it. A year later I receive a call from a different attorney saying she worked with Dean Kajioka and was handling the matter. Three months later after many attempts of trying to reach Dean Kajioka a different attorney calls me saying he works with Dean Kajioka and he now is handling my case.It has turned into nothing but a nightmare for me, I am in the process of filing a complaint with the State Bar of Nevada. Please be aware of this attorney

In our case he never contacted the dr.'s and hospital that treated my wife at the time of the accident although he repeatedly promised to do so and LATER CLAIMED HE HAD done so. This negligence resulted in numerous liens and judgements appearing on our credit report that would not have been initiated had normal procedures been followed as promised and ok'd by us which was to give these suppliers a lien on the future settlement. Every one of the suppliers said they normally accept these arrangements and wait to be paid from settlement funds. Ask to see a record of how many cases he has actually taken to trial. No lawyer wants to end up in trial TOO OFTEN but NEVER ?Cold and uncaring . .

Much like the other reviews provided, I can highlight similar feeling of dismay with my interaction. He was recommended to me by an attorney who specialized in another field as a professional who is familiar in employment law. After waiting roughly 20 min past the time scheduled I was excited to have a legal view on how my issues may play out. Within the first few moments of consultation, I was flushed with immediate disappointment for making such a rushed decision at a cost of $150. Having roughly 7 years experience as a HR generalist, with a bachelors from UC system I was dismayed to find the information he provided was little more than a google search would and starkly in contrast with what I know. Please beware if you do not present yourself as wealthy you may be stereotyped and simply a collection pot for a consultation fee.

Charged $500 for 1/2 hour consultation. It was obvious that I did not want to have him represent me after 5 minutes as he really doesn't care for women and thinks he is above them. $500 down the toilet for this egotistical narcissist!!

I had a deeply disappointing experience with Larry Digesti. After some difficulty in finding a suitable attorney who was free to take on my case, I was referred to Mr. Digesti by another Reno employment lawyer. I met him for an initial consultation (for which he charged $150) and he agreed to represent me in a dispute with my employer. I thought myself in good hands: he is an experienced, well-connected attorney who seemed very sure of himself during our initial meeting. However, when we next met his performance was extremely poor. He was unprepared for our meeting, slow to grasp the issues at stake in my case, and dismissive of my concerns. As my disappointment in him became evident Mr. Digesti turned belligerent, and actually yelled at me and cast aspersions upon my character. At the end of a two hour meeting (billed at the rate of $400 an hour) I still did not feel like he had an adequate grasp of my case, nor did I have answers to the specific (and quite concrete) questions I had conveyed to him in advance of our meeting. Soon thereafter I decided to cut my losses and end our relationship. Even this turned out to be more protracted and unpleasant an experience than it needed to be. Just getting a refund for the unused portion of my retainer was a trial, since Mr. Digesti did not respond to my messages concerning this matter -- including a request that he mail me the refund check so I didn't have to drive in to pick it up from my home three hours away. Thankfully, I ultimately found my way to another lawyer who saw my case through to a successful conclusion (for a total fee that was less than what I paid Mr. Digesti for our brief and unproductive time together) and whose intelligence, backbone, and ethical compass did much to restore my faith in the legal profession. I understand that others have had more satisfying experiences with Mr. Digesti, but based on how things went for me I cannot recommend him.

I was referred to Mr. Jackson's firm from an acquaintance. I was passed around to 3 different attorneys in the same firm over a year and I was never told why. My guess would be they weren't going to make a lot of money and they didn't want to invest any time in the case. You could see that from their work, or lack thereof. Perhaps that's why I rarely heard from them and it was only after numerous calls and emails that they ever returned a call. I was never copied on correspondence and pleadings even though I requested that repeatedly after they sent out documents and pleadings that were riddled with errors and even had the wrong date for the Date of Loss. This was a simple BI claim. I was a passenger in a auto accident where liability was never disputed or denied. I was injured and I had the right to recover. As it turned out, I ended up with what I was initially offered by the insurance company, so I would have done better on my own, quite frankly.. All this firm did was drive up my out of pocket costs and yes there were costs to me... even on a Personal Injury case, In my experience, the folks at this law firm were untruthful, and did next to nothing on my case. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT HIRE THEM!

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.

Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:

  • Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
  • Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
  • Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
  • Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
  • Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
  • Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:

  • Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
  • Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
  • Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
  • Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
  • Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.

How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
  • Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
  • No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.

Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
  • Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.

While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.

Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer

Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. How long will my case take?
    While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim.
  6. Do you have references from past clients?
    Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.

How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
  • Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
  • Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
  • Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:

  • Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
  • Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
  • Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
  • Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
  • Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.

By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
