5.0 out of 5 stars

The GOAT I would like to send my deepest APPRECIATION to the REGIONAL LAW FIRM. On February 2nd ,2024 my son was charged with the most heinous crime and because of ATTY Brown and ATTY McCleary and all their hard work and their belief in my son. He was found NOT GUILTY. These ATTY’s are well respected in the court room. The way the ATTY’s showed up every day and were available to answer any questions that I had was amazing. They didn’t treat my son as though he was guilty , a criminal or just another client, instead they built a relationship with not only him but the family as well. REGIONAL LAW FIRM IS A 10 in my book. I could never say thank you enough They are definitely on the Christmas list.

Mark Chargualaf is an exceptional attorney who consistently delivers swift and outstanding results. From the very first day, he was able to tell me exactly what he can do for me and at this time, it was the BEST outcome any other atty told me. His dedication was evident as he began working tirelessly on my case immediately!! Despite the high-level charges I was facing, my case was remarkably settled within just two weeks, even before the first scheduled court date! Mark’s commitment didn’t stop there; he went above and beyond by expunging my case as soon as the serving was completed. This proactive approach saved me a tremendous amount of time and alleviated a great deal of stress. Mark’s efficiency and expertise are truly impressive. His ability to navigate the legal system with such proficiency and speed is commendable. After my first experience with Mark, I have went back to him for any legal issues/advice and he continues to be just as available, just as quick and motivated. He is the ONLY atty i recommend regardless of the offense!!

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.
