I highly recommend Sara Yeager! She was very knowledgeable, professional and her communication was excellent. Sara made me feel like she truly care about me as an individual, not just another case to come across her desk. I always felt like I had someone in my corner. Sara worked diligently to get the best outcome in my case. She advocated for me in a time in my life where I felt like I was alone. I never felt alone working with Sara. I can’t say enough about how thankful I am to have had the opportunity to work with Sara! By far the best attorney I have ever worked with! Thank you Sara!!

Pros
1
Knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled attorneys who effectively advocate for their clients
“Attorney Jae Kim was absolutely amazing. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. He worked very hard on my case. I'm so pleased with his work!!!”
2
Attorneys who are attentive, responsive, and keep clients informed throughout the process
“Jae Kim's hard work behind the scenes proved to be imperative in the handling of my case. He was able to dismiss 2 of my charges prior to the arraignment and handled the arraignment with professionalism and class.”
3
Attorneys who show compassion and care about their clients' well-being
“I was represented by Attorney Alasia Dalton. I called the office and received a call back from Attorney Dalton. I was feeling drained, helpless, and clueless. She took the time and explained the process and assured me she'll look into our case.”
Cons
1
Lack of communication and responsiveness from the law firm, with clients struggling to reach attorneys and receive updates
“I've been calling for 3 days straight and constantly leaving voicemails and still no answer. 11 calls.. 3 voicemails.... still no answer....no callback...nothing.”
2
Concerns about the firm's focus on profitability over client care
“They don't personally know anyone at this firm but saw he "specializes" in the matter I was seeking help with. There were so many red flags it's ridiculous! I was ignored, lied to and played with since my initial contact June 4, 2024.”

I had to file for Bankruptcy - this was done unwillingly and I was a little nervous about the process Mrs. Lewbrew-Sanders made the scary process easy and helped me every step of the way .. she was ALWAYS there to answer questions and made sure I did everything that I was supposed to do so that the process was quick and painless as could be. I WOULD absoultely RECCOMEND Mrs. LeBrew-Sanders. She makes a scary and nervous process easy to go through

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?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Jonesboro, Georgia?

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.
