As someone who has mediated hundreds of cases over the past 25 years, I can honestly state, without any hesitation, that Brian Jerome is among the best of the best. Brian provides both sides of every dispute with a comfortable and unpressured environment within which to resolve their disputes. He has a wonderful mediation style that has been successful in resolving a wide range of complex cases submitted by our firm over the past 20 years.

Attorney Jerome was the arbitrator for my recent case. I was nervous about the hearing, but he put me at ease immediately - what a nice guy! During the arbitration, he was an attentive listener and very precise with his questioning and gave me the confidence to tell my story. Both lawyers seemed to enjoy working with him, and the award he gave on my case was fair to everyone. I would recommend Brian Jerome to anyone seeking a great arbitrator.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Michael on a recent legal matter. Michael’s exceptional experience and mastery of legal processes made me feel as though he’d seen this all before and that I was in good hands. I appreciated his direct, thoughtful communication, clear explanation of my options and questions, and strategic approach. Michael helped me achieve my desired result and stay calm throughout the process. I highly recommend his counsel.

I had consultations with 3 different law firms 1 year ago. When I contacted Allred, Maroko & Goldberg I immediately knew they were the right firm to handle my matter. Michael Maroko made me feel very comfortable during the initial consultations. He has superb experience with discrimination and wrongful termination matters. He understood the situation clearly, thoroughly explained the pros & cons and options. The advice I received was genuine and factual. I was nervous as I did not know the legal process with employment law suits; Mr. Maroko was always very professional, empathetic, and approachable. He explained the process step by step each time there was a development. He fought relentlessly for me, always protecting my best interest. I had a very good and successful experience with Mr. Maroko. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal representation.

Mr. Maroko was my Family Law Attorney more that 30 years ago advising and helping me in matters related to child custody and child support. Although his practice has expanded far beyond what my needs were back then I just wanted to say in reflection these many years later how his honesty, ethics, and skill in the courtroom resolved satisfactorily what was best for my baby daughter. He always put the best interest of my daughter first. And the best advice he ever gave me as a single parent was, "Never Lie To Your Child, because if you do you will undermine your child's trust in you, and then who can your child trust?" And, "never speak badly of your child's father to your child because that will only create unnecessary conflict for your child." Thank you Mr. Michael Maroko for putting me on the right path as a single parent so many years ago which I believe contributed to the successes in my daughter's life today. I have no doubt you are still the same honest and ethical attorney today as you were with me over 30 years ago. I''m sure whoever enlists your services today in the areas of law you now practice will not be disappointed!

I've used Omar for a couple of things and been very happy with his service. He's great about communicating, which not all lawyers are. His fees are reasonable, given the cost of legal issues these days. He gives things to you straight, but lets you make your own decision after laying out all the facts. I like his common sense approach. His ego doesn't get in the way. I like his ethics. I like his honesty. I've recommended him to my friends. He's got a grasp of what ordinary people are up against, instead of being insulated from the real world.

He did a flawless job keeping the parties focused on the goal of settlement and helped the parties find common ground and a path to resolution. Most importantly, he did not give up and kept the parties working 22 hours. This was my first mediation with Don, but it will not be my last.

Attorney took the awesome approach of informing and educating my husband and I as her clients. She educated us of our rights as well as positioning us in the best way possible to get the most out of our case. S he took great initiative and anticipated our needs. Her communication style and frequency was appropriate and balanced - we always heard from her when we needed to. Once we retained her, she immediately began working on our behalf, freeing us from the need to speak with claim adjusters who were not working in our interest. She was a great negotiator and used her skills, experience, and influence to maximize our settlement.

We have been working with Attorney Tim McLaughlin for nearly 6 months and his level of professionalism and care for his clients concerns is exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable in his field but is able to speak with ease about legal matters in language that is understandable to those with little legal knowledge. He has tenacity, he is creative in his approach and possesses as much integrity as anyone I have ever encountered. He is trustworthy, honest and hardworking. It is easy to see that he has our best interest at heart at all times. Attorney McLaughlin is easily accessible to his clients by phone and e mail and we have never had to wait more than a few hours to hear back from a voice message left for him or an e mail sent. When the need arose for us to seek advice on a separate legal matter, Tim did not hesitate to tell us that what we needed was out of his expertise and immediately referred us to his associate within the firm who specializes in the field that we needed. We would 100% recommend Attorney Tim McLaughlin without the least hesitation.

The other insurance agency was not so understanding of the delay, however, Sarah made me feel incredibly comfortable regarding the entire process. During the settlement, I happened to be involved in yet another auto accident with an uninsured driver. Sarah happily assisted me with this claim as well. Both settlements were resolved due to Sarah's knowledge of the system and persistence with the agencies involved.

Eugene was excellent in his communications with me and opposing counsel as well as a great wealth of knowledge for me to rely on as I went through the process. I have not worked with another attorney that went so far out of his way to make sure that I was represented properly and received what I was due. Thanks Eugene, I recommend you to anyone who needs counsel.

Eugene has assisted me with various legal matters over the years, both as a partner at his previous firm, and now as the lead in his own firm. Eugene has guided me through hostile depositions, assisted with the formation (and dissolution) of my corporation, and reviewed important business contracts and documentation. I recommend Eugene highly, I will certainly work with him again.

Ronald took the time to fully understand my daughter's case, offering clear guidance and realistic expectations every step of the way. His communication was always prompt, thoughtful, and thorough, which gave us peace of mind during what could have been a stressful time. What really set Ronald apart, however, was his personal approach. He genuinely cared about the outcome of my daughters case and went above and beyond to ensure we were informed and comfortable throughout the process. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible result were evident in every aspect of his work. Thanks to his hard work and skill, my daughter’s case was resolved successfully. I highly recommend Ronald Simon to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated attorney.

My husband and I put off our estate planning for a long time. We didn't know how to find someone we could trust. Thankfully, some friends of ours told us about their experience working with TJ. They felt he was an excellent attorney and had handled their affairs well. We wholeheartedly agree with their assessment! TJ was very responsive. We initially contacted him through his website and he responded to our inquiry within hours. My husband is a pilot, and it can be difficult to schedule meetings with him. TJ worked within our time constraints and quickly rearranged when needed. Once we were in our face to face meeting, TJ, and his assistant, Gretchen, listened well, explained thoroughly, and never made us feel inadequate or judged by some of the "off the beaten track" requests we had. Talking about death and planning your estate can be stressful, but TJ and his staff made it easy. If you are looking for a kind, very knowledgable, no pressure attorney, my husband and I highly recommend contacting and working with Timothy J. Scott.

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:

  • Hourly rates: Lawyers may charge between $150 and $500 per hour, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases requiring extensive trial preparation.
  • 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.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer

Before hiring a lawsuit or dispute lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has handled similar disputes and is familiar with the relevant area of law.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether they charge hourly, on a contingency fee basis, or offer flat fees, and ask for a detailed cost estimate.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case and potential challenges.
  4. Have you handled cases that went to trial?
    If a trial is possible, confirm the lawyer has courtroom experience.
  5. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for resolving your dispute.
  6. Will you handle my case personally?
    Understand who will manage your case and their level of involvement.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawsuit / Dispute Lawyer

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

  • Check their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary actions.
  • Look for relevant experience: Review their website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in litigation or dispute resolution.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for feedback on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should provide references from past clients.
  • Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Bar Association’s Section of Litigation can indicate expertise.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Contracts or agreements: Copies of any signed contracts or relevant agreements.
  • Emails and communications: Any written communication between you and the other party.
  • Evidence of the dispute: Receipts, financial records, photos, or witness statements related to the conflict.
  • Timeline of events: A clear chronology of the dispute, including key dates and interactions.
  • List of questions: Prepared questions about your case, the legal process, costs, and strategy.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide you with the best legal advice on how to proceed.
