As my lawyer, Chris Burruezo made a scary situation so much easier. He was very patient, knowledgeable & emphatic. I asked ongoing questions, sometimes more than once & he always made sure I understood & returned all my calls. I am grateful for a positive experience with Simon & Simon.

Have you ever looked at someone and thought “that’s the type of person I’d love to sit next to...but not across from?” Lawyer Richard Jaffe is that man to me! HE WON E-V-E-R-Y MOTION IN BOTH of my extremely difficult WC AND SSD CASES! Richard Jaffe looks out for YOU! I know how hard it is to put your trust, your LIFE in someone else’s hands...But I honestly wouldn’t want anyone else by my side. He’s there fighting for what you want, your needs, your rights.He doesn’t pressure you to settle and again he WON every motion, every case, every argument, every settlement...he won them for me...even the ones we thought were long shots!!! I’ve always felt seen, heard, supported and important. I have thrown some extremely difficult, at times dire situations at him. Yet somehow he’s always pulling through for me! Due to my injuries I get overwhelmed, confused, forgetful and wound up.Richard is always patient with me, is able to calm me down quickly and easily. I always feel reassured after talking with him. He’ll tell you like it is...nicely...no bs or fluff, which I truly appreciate! He has very fair to YOU payment arrangements, unlike others I met in the past. I wish I would have found him earlier, it would have prevented so many tears, wasted years and so much anxiety! I honestly don’t know what I would have done or what would have happened if I didn’t find Richard Jaffe! He swooped in an saved me several years ago. I have very high expectations which are not easily or commonly met. Richard Jaffe and his Paralegal Christina have EXCEEDED my expectations and continue to do so. I couldn’t be happier!!! I am a real client. I truly recommend this Lawyer!!!!

Deborah handled matters related to my Internet business in an expert and efficient manner. First, she handled the contract for a large domain sale, intervening decisively when the buyer attempted to exit the contract; she also acted as the transaction's escrow. The deal went through and I could not have been happier. Later on, she handled a C&D notice that was sent to me, which was attempting to bully me into surrendering an expensive domain asset . Deborah's response cut the 'air' of the other party efficiently, protecting my rights and my asset. I would recommend Deborah Logan to anyone looking for a competent, ethical attorney with knowledge in the IP field.

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 Newtown Square, Pennsylvania?

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.
