Verified ClientHired Attorney 2022My family was dealing with a complex and unusual situation involving my two kiddos. I have Cancer and needed to plan for ongoing care for the kids if I pass away, but unfortunately the kids' father was not a viable future caregiver given a history of abusive behavior toward them. Hence, the case called for a lawyer who could think outside the box, come up with the best legal solution, and work effectively with various family members along with myself. Throughout the process, Seth was compassionate, considerate of the fact that I was sick & actively in chemotherapy, very clear and thorough in all of his verbal and written communications, and always responded to my questions in a timely fashion. Another attorney that works for Seth, Kate, also was a pleasure to work with. Ultimately, Seth helped me set up legal co-guardianship for my kids with their Grandmother and Uncle (my Mother and Brother) that will activate if I am hospitalized for Oncology treatment/sickness or if I pass away. The peace of mind it brings me knowing that upon my death my kids' care will seamlessly be transferred to safe and loving relatives is enormous and hard to even express with words. Given the nuances and complexities of our particular situation, I was frankly amazed and so impressed with how efficiently, professionally and effectively Seth guided us through each step of the process. I trust him (and his entire firm) completely. I would not hesitate to use his services in the future and/or send family and friends to him if the need arose. Seth is a truly gifted and dedicated Attorney, along with being an all-around kind person.

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.
