    Working with Hayley, and the people at Katz Friedman was a great experience. I got hurt at work and Hayley was the lawyer on my case. She was kind, attentive and really patient with me. My injury was significant and it required surgery. Post surgery she checked in on me along the way and helped me get back to work. I’m super thankful, and appreciate to Hayley and the people at Katz Friedman for all their hard work. I’d recommend Hayley and firm to anyone and everyone that requires representation.

    Phil Bareck exceeded all my expectations throughout the entire process. His experience and knowledge was truly amazing. His skills for explaining the processes, advising and listening were crucial in making me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. He really had my best interest in mind and would go above and beyond to make sure I understood my options and legal options. He made me feel as though we were a team! I would highly recommend Phil to anyone and everyone, I cannot thank him enough!

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.
