Verified ClientHired Attorney 2019-2022Ms. Perales exudes confidence, winning my case after my first attorney dropped the ball. She professionally and expertly navigated both the Federal and State system, regularly keeping me updated, maintaining a calming and confident demeanor throughout. I highly recommend her! I hope I never have to go through anything like this ever again, but I will not hesitate to call her if the situation arises.

Hired Attorney 2017-2020Monica saved my case after my first attorney lost it. She took it up to the Federal Court and won. I got a second chance. After fighting for so long. She never gave up. She is smart and had the courage to stand up for me against a judge who was nasty to both fo us. She didn’t back down.

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.
