If you want someone who is ready to fight for your case, hire McLain Law. He gave me a really good deal to represent me in my case to end probation and he didnt dissappoint. He was able to convince the judge to release me from probation. He came recommended from a former lawyer of mine and again he didnt disappoint. He listens to you and positions you want to fight and he will find a way to fight from those points in a way that would feel natural and fluid. My only regret is when i started fighting my case, that i didnt hire him from the start! Want a good lawyer? Look no futher than Matthew McLain and McLain law.

My partner and I hired Mr. Colbrunn on great advice from friends in harness racing who Mr. Colbrunn has helped inthe past with immigration. He is extremely knowledgeable and really truely cares about his clients and isn't a money grubbing lawyer. He's compassionate, understanding and does what he can legally to help. I would readily recommend him to anyone seeking help with immigration problems and not even problems, just those seeking help to get their green card. You cannot go wrong with this fine man.

Mr. Colbrunn took my immigration case 18 years ago when 2 others told me that my case was impossible and I should just find an american wife. He took into consideration what I wanted for my life and presented me with a very ingenious and relatively easy way to solve my problem. His first consultation lasted at least 2 hours and he couldn't care less for time. I've used it ever since all the way to my citizenship, then referred him to a number of friend all of whom have found him just as great as I have. This man really cares about people, and he will think and think and speak to his clients until he figures out how he can help you. One time he called me asking me to help one of his clients who had also attempted Canadian residency, like I had. I was glad to help and that proved to me once again that this man is really serious about helping immigrants, regardless of money. I'm using him for my wife now again, and he is the same. He will pick up the phone if his super nice secretary can't answer the question.

I can’t recommend Bill enough. From the very start, he guided me through the entire process step by step, ensuring I understood everything clearly. Divorce is complicated, but Bill made it manageable by explaining all my options and helping me make solid decisions along the way. What impressed me most was the time and effort he put into my case. Bill paid attention to every detail and left no stone unturned. I never felt rushed, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me. Most importantly, he has the kind of integrity and professionalism that’s hard to find. Bill was honest, straightforward, and always maintained confidentiality. Knowing he had everything under control gave me a lot of confidence throughout the process. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is sharp, ethical, and dedicated, I highly recommend Bill. He made a difficult process much smoother and delivered excellent results.

My experience with the Rosenfelt Family Law firm transpired at one of the most difficult time of my life. The knowledge of the law, the professionalism, the courtesy ,the care that Bill and Marlo displayed demonstrates the magnitude of how much they truly care about their clients. I cannot thank them enough for representing me in the dissolution of marriage proceedings. Tanya Mann

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?

    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Longwood, Florida?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
