From the moment I spoke to Alreen, I knew she was the right attorney to represent me. She was direct and honest, but also warm and professional. Other attorneys I spoke with didn't quite seem to understand my predicament the way Alreen did. With Alreen, I wasn't just a client; I was a human being, a person who needed her help. Throughout the process, Alreen worked very hard on my case. If there was an issue, Alreen and her team would always figure out a way to circumvent it. I trusted her judgment and advice. I knew she had my best interests at heart. I felt very fortunate to be represented by such a talented attorney who was so great at her job. I was quite impressed with how my case was handled. Obtaining her as counsel was the BEST decision I made that year. I cannot imagine having been represented by anyone else. I would highly recommend her to anyone, even if you are unsure or just have questions. She is AMAZING!

From the moment I spoke to Alreen on the phone, I knew she was the right person to represent me. I had met and spoken to other attorneys, but none of them truly understood my situation like she did. With Alreen, I wasn't just a client; I was someone who needed her help. Within a minute of talking to her, I knew she would fight for me the way I needed her to. Throughout the entire process, Alreen and her team were smart, honest, kind, and of course, very professional. They worked incredibly hard on my case; I was very impressed with the way they handled it and especially proud to call them my lawyers. Whatever the obstacle, Alreen and her team would find a way to circumvent it. Retaining Alreen as my legal counsel was the best decision I made regarding my case. I have absolutely no regrets and could not imagine having anyone else represent me. Thank you for helping me get my life back and move forward. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is considering obtaining counsel or even just has questions. She is fantastic!

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
