Customer Reviews for Mellor & Backo LLP
-
Hired Law firm 2020-2021Mr. Backo could not have been more patient, facilitating, forthcoming, and understanding as we sorted through the different levels of minutia relative to my late father’s estate. He routinely answered emails quickly, and always in terms that were easy to comprehend. His staff was equally accommodating and professional. Throughout the entire estate probate proceedings, Mr. Backo made the process as simple and expeditious as possible. His rates are more than reasonable, especially considering the amount time, skill, and attention he devoted to the various issues and questions stemming from the final resolution of my father's estate. I am very grateful to Mr. Backo, and would recommend him highly to those seeking reputable, affordable, and experienced legal guidance.

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.
