This review is long overdue! George is an amazing attorney and a great person. He helped us through some very dark financial times and thanks to his hard work and his team's hard work we've been able to come out on the other side. George stuck with us through thick and thin. Our bankruptcy lasted several years and included settling my six figure student loan for a quarter of the balance owed. My husband and I are forever grateful for the hard work he put into our case and we wish him and his team all the best :)

A friend gave me Charlie Thomas's number when I was in a hospital bed, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made: high praise but sincere words. I signed a contract with Charlie about half a page long without overcomplicated jargon. He represented me for as long as there was work to do, and he didn't just get a great result; he got me the best result. It isn't easy to overstate this, but I don't believe I could have found better representation than Huber Thomas Law.

We had the privilege of working with Blair for a couple of years, and couldn’t have been happier with his services. From start to finish, Blair maintained professionalism and great communication with us, educating us on the process, risks, and possible outcomes. Anyone who has been through custody disputes, knows that it’s not an easy process at all. Blair made it easier by always taking the time to gather our input and thoughts, while letting us know if he felt things were or were not in our favor along with rationale and recommendations. He always fought hard for us and our family and his level of investment was apparent in all of his work. The impact he and his diligent support had on our family will forever be cherished, and we gladly give him our highest recommendation!

Mr. Gerald Baldino gave me the run around for FIVE MONTHS about a very important case that meant the world to me and my family. He was terrible at returning phone calls. I would call his office and speak to the receptionist and she would tell me that Mr. Baldino would call me back shortly but it took weeks to hear back from him. This made me feel like I wasn’t important enough to deserve a phone call back. To top it off - after 5 months of waiting and one more phone call to his office to speak with him - he has his assistant send me a email declining my case. The assistant (Susan) couldn’t even spell my name right in the email! I called the office once I received the email, asking for mr. Baldino to give me an explanation on why he never returned my previous call and to why he is not going to take my case but the receptionist tells me he will “try his best” to call me back before he leaves for vacation for TWO WEEKS. Well, I wasn’t important enough for him to call me back once again. The way Mr. Baldino handled this matter was UNPROFESSIONAL and just plain rude. I will NEVER recommend this firm to anymore. They are clearly just worried about the money and not the person who suffered. I wasted months on my time waiting to hear from him When I could of found a lawyer who actually cared about their client and the limited time by law that they have to file a claim. Don’t waste your time like I did.

Hi everyone, I want to share my experience with Eraka to help others make informed decisions. I hired and paid her back in March, and although she initially assured me she was on top of my case, her communication became inconsistent, and I eventually stopped hearing from her. In August, she informed me that she had been in an accident, which explained her lack of attention to my case, though I wasn’t informed of this earlier. To protect yourself, I highly recommend checking her name on the Texas Bar site and doing thorough research to ensure you're hiring the right attorney for your needs. A detail I discovered later is that her real last name is Watson, but she is currently going by Childs. I gave her multiple chances, but ultimately, I felt that my case was not taken seriously. Additionally, after posting a previous review, I was contacted multiple times by her assistants, who asked me to remove the review, claiming it would reflect poorly on me. This made me feel uncomfortable and pressured. Please do your due diligence when selecting a lawyer to represent you. My experience with Eraka was not what I had hoped for, and I encourage others to thoroughly research before making a decision.

I want to first Thank The Childs Law Firm for representing our family, saving our son from losing joint custody of his son. You were very precise, and professional from the beginning to the end. If you want a good attorney, Erika Childs is definitely someone that I would recommend. She isn't going to sugar coat your situation, but analyze what's best for YOU and the Child. It may start out uneasy, but she will put your mind to ease. I wish we had her from the beginning we wouldn't be going through this now. Thank you again Attorney, this will be my Attorney from her and out, oh she just not a custody Lawyer, you better check her out, she is the one.

What a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Can Do for You

A lawsuit or dispute lawyer, often referred to as a litigation lawyer, specializes in handling legal conflicts between individuals, businesses, or organizations. These lawyers represent clients in civil lawsuits, helping to resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation in court. They can assist with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, property disputes, business conflicts, personal injury claims, and more.

If you are involved in a legal conflict and need representation, a dispute lawyer can guide you through the litigation process - from filing or defending against a lawsuit to negotiating settlements or representing you at trial.

When Should I Hire a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer when you're involved in a legal disagreement that cannot be resolved informally and may require legal action. Common reasons to hire a lawyer include:

  • Breach of contract: If someone has failed to fulfill the terms of a contract, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit to seek damages or enforce the agreement.
  • Business disputes: Whether it's a partnership disagreement, shareholder conflict, or a dispute with a supplier or customer, a lawyer can help resolve business-related issues.
  • Property disputes: If you're involved in a dispute over property ownership, boundary issues, or landlord-tenant conflicts, a lawyer can assist in resolving the matter.
  • Personal injury claims: If you were injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a lawyer can represent you in a personal injury lawsuit.
  • Debt collection or defense: If you're being sued for unpaid debts or need to collect a debt owed to you, a lawyer can represent you in court or negotiate settlements.
  • Employment disputes: If you're involved in an employment-related dispute, such as wrongful termination or discrimination, a lawyer can help you file a claim and represent you in court.
  • Defending against a lawsuit: If you've been sued, a lawyer can defend you against the claims, challenge the evidence, and negotiate a settlement or represent you at trial.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your case is properly managed and that your rights are protected throughout the dispute resolution process.

What Does a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Do?

A lawsuit or dispute lawyer provides a wide range of services to help clients navigate legal conflicts and seek resolution. Their tasks typically include:

  • Evaluating your case: Reviewing the facts and evidence to determine the strength of your case or defense and advising you on the best course of action.
  • Filing lawsuits or responding to lawsuits: If you're the plaintiff, the lawyer will file a lawsuit on your behalf. If you're the defendant, they will respond to the lawsuit and build a defense strategy.
  • Gathering evidence: Collecting and reviewing evidence such as contracts, emails, financial records, and witness statements to support your case.
  • Handling negotiations: Negotiating with the opposing party to reach a settlement before the case goes to trial, which can save time and money.
  • Representing you in court: Presenting your case in court if a settlement cannot be reached, including presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments on your behalf.
  • Exploring alternative dispute resolution (ADR): Suggesting mediation or arbitration as alternatives to a trial, which can be faster and less expensive.
  • Drafting legal documents: Preparing and filing necessary legal documents such as complaints, motions, and responses, as well as drafting settlement agreements if a resolution is reached.

How Are Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyers Paid?

The fee structure for lawsuit or dispute lawyers varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of dispute, and the lawyer's experience. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Many lawsuit lawyers charge by the hour, especially for cases that require extensive preparation, research, and trial work. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Contingency fee: In certain cases, such as personal injury or breach of contract claims, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win the case, usually taking a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of the settlement or damages awarded.
  • Flat fee: For specific services, such as filing a simple lawsuit or representing you in mediation, some lawyers may charge a flat fee.
  • Retainer: In complex cases or long-term litigation, a lawyer may ask for a retainer, which is an upfront payment to secure their services. The lawyer will then bill against the retainer as they work on the case.

Discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how fees will be handled throughout the case.

How Much Does a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee structure they use. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fees: If your lawyer works on a contingency basis, expect them to take 25% to 40% of any settlement or court award. For example, if you win $100,000 and the contingency fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000.
  • Flat fees: For less complex disputes or tasks, such as drafting a settlement agreement or representing you in mediation, flat fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the scope of work.
  • Retainers: Some lawyers require an upfront retainer fee, which can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the case complexity and expected litigation length.

Make sure to ask for a detailed breakdown of fees during your consultation so you know what to expect.
