Claudia came highly recommended by another top attorney, and that recommendation was spot on. When I consulted Claudia about a concerning situation with my employer, she carefully thought through all of my options, considering actions I could take on my own and actions that involved retaining her for more involved representation. She paid close attention to details and clearly had extensive experience handling similar issues. Should my problem persist, I will definitely hire her.

Claudia was a fantastic lawyer from the moment we first met. She listened to my story and was warm and welcoming. This instantly made me feel like she would be the perfect fit for my case. She helped me with my maternity and pregnancy discrimination case against my former employer. She was always there when I had questions (or even when I just needed to vent). I always felt like she was on my side and she was always helpful and explained everything to me throughout the entire process. I could not have asked for a better outcome and it was all thanks to her hard work. I highly recommend Claudia as an employment lawyer.

Terry Webb is a fantastic attorney. Her knowledge of the law and courtroom elegance is superior. Ms. Webb handled my case wonderfully, she always timely responded to telephone calls and emails and most importantly she got me an outcome that I did not think was possible. I was facing jail time for driving while suspended and Ms Webb’s negotiation skills ended with a result of ONE DAY of community service. And on top of being a fantastic lawyer, she is super sweet and friendly. I highly recommend Terry!

I hired Terry for a DUI arrest in NJ. I am not a resident of NJ. Terry was very professional in her handling and explanations of the law and what to expect. Her fee was reasonable as well. It was thought that the officer (who was fairly new) had been overzealous in his handling of my tickets. Terry was able to find the right people to back this up, get the erroneous charges dropped, and handle the entire thing without me having to return to NJ. I could not have been happier with this attorney and her execution of this case and the process. I highly recommend her!

I was facing serious criminal charges. I was emotionally wrought over all that had happened, including physical trauma inflicted by the arresting officer. I had interviewed several lawyers by phone, and two in person. None had much of a plan, except they thought charges could be reduced. THEN, I met with Terry. She not only was kind, caring and understanding, she was able to give me straight advice about what to do, AND she had a plan to get all charges dropped. ....The process took 7 months. The outcome? AMAZING! All charges were dropped, and my record expunged. I am so grateful for finding her. I am very happy with Terry Webb. High praise for her talented work!!

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 Morristown, New Jersey?

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.
