"After being wrongfully accused and charged with sexual battery I had no idea what to do or where to even start. From our very first meeting Bjorn Brunvand, Wilingy Ramos and the entire team at Brunvand Wise did an absolutely outstanding job. There was never a day during my case that I didn’t feel taken care of by this incredible team. Bjorn went above and beyond, even after my case, to help clear my name in the system and publicly. When this horrible journey began I wasn’t sure how my family and I would get through it. Bjorn and his team were there every step of the way. They made sure I was informed and involved in the handling of my case and provided the best legal support I could have asked for. This was not an easy or quick process by any means but I never felt like my case was put to the side. Thank you will never be enough to express how grateful I am for their dedication to ensure justice was served. My family and I are finally able to move forward and put this nightmare behind us thanks to Bjorn and his team."

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2023Willengy Ramos Wicks is one of the most strongest, confident yet humble attorneys to represent me. I was served an injunction for a temporary order of protection from my ex-boyfriend?s parents. Willengy went in there, she was incredibly respectful while cross examining the other party, yet so fierce, confident and strong. She sat down with me for over an hour to review the entire case with me, went through step-by-step all the possible outcomes, and went above and beyond to pull as much information and evidence together as she could in the short amount of time that was given. She was incredible, just over the top fantastic. She answers text messages, emails and left messages in less than 24 hours. She is extremely thorough, personable and educated. She?s supportive, not judgemental and incredibly understanding. We went in there today and she got the entire petition dismissed. She will forever have my business if representation is needed. She?s wonderful, hire her!! This review doesn?t do justice, 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.
