While finding myself in a position of needing a criminal defense attorney naturally you look for the best, the one with five star ratings with the most highest reviews and ratings. While starting my research which I feel is very necessary, I look for background education, anything, and everything pertaining to a potential lawyer to retain. When my personal list was made, and I started making calls and phone consultations and was crossing them off for the amount for their services I just couldn’t afford, as well for my particular situation, they just weren’t being upfront enough and gave me the lawyer talk that would justify for the amount they were asking not to take away, I’m sure they are good lawyers. I’ve been through the system A few times, and although all states have general guidelines, each state has and can do their own set of rules and ways of loopholes and cutting red tape, what I found with Mr. John Turco actually impressed me. Mr. Turco knows the State of Nevada courts and how it’s a plea bargain state. With that being said throughout my phone consultation, and how he spoke to me, not only with the courtesy of the professionalism of his craft he spoke to me direct, honest, a lawyer without the lawyer talk. His education and background and knowledge of the state and the system is impeccable and important for any criminal defense attorney. I felt I made the right decision and retaining him without disclosing amount of fees I save thousands of what other lawyers were asking . I say that with the upmost respect and truthfulness in writing this review/rating. He does not overcharge and what I paid was well worth and justified. In fact after hearing my case and going through my file, he even gave a discount. I recommend and give five stars all the way, in regards to his team and staff, everyone in his office was professional, friendly, and responsive, messages were always put through to Mr. Turco, Always received callbacks not one time did I call and just stuck, listening to a recording. His team and staff outstanding thank you very much. In fact, Mr. Turco, you should give them all a raise! In regards to my case, Mr. Turco had this case dismissed.

I went into Mr. Turco's office not knowing if he could help my 14-year-old son and his complex case. He took the time for all my questions and his knowledge and experience made my mother and I feel at ease and gave us hope. My son now will have a chance to start a new because of the help of Mr. Turco. I am forever grateful, and his staff was so kind to us. I have much respect for this office and Mr. Turco. I would recommend him to anyone in times of need.

I was recommended to Julia and VIP Law after getting rear ended by a driver under the influence. Within a few months I was paid the maximum coverage from the drivers insurance. She was good at communicating and kept me up to date every step of the way. I would recommend VIP Law to anyone.

I have had the worst luck with car accidents but the best luck with my attorney. Julia has been nothing but helpful, informative, and honest. I’ve gotten into 3 car accidents in 2 years and have gone back to her every time. She handles matters quickly and efficiently while not leaving out any details. I’d hope to not be in any more car accidents but if I was, I’d go VIP Law!

Gabrielle Jones is a compassionate, professional attorney that works hard for her clients. I am fortunate to have been referred to her, and I don't think anyone could have handled my divorce, custody, and support issues as seamlessly as she did. She took SO much weight off my shoulders. I HIGHLY recommend her!

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 Las Vegas, Nevada?

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.
