Verified ClientConsulted Law firm 2021-2022I recently found myself in need of a law firm. I have worked with lawyers in the past in North Carolina and New York and the lawyers here are top notch. I was represented by Mr. Ben McGowan. He said he didn't want to over promise and under perform which was nice to hear in a world where everyone promises the moon and delivers zip so I really respected that. As it turns out Ben and his team went WELL beyond my expectations and the result of my case was not only the best case scenario but a dream scenario. The law firm of Summers, Ruffalo and Rodgers will do what it takes to take care of you. put your trust and them and you can't go wrong.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2021These guys are amazing! The attorneys at Summers, Rufolo, and Rodgers are extremely receptive, they care, and most importantly they are effective. Mr. McGowan listened to my situation and responded professionally and concisely - he responded clearly and helped me understand all my options without being long-winded or giving me unnecessary anecdotes and information. Further, I began receiving correspondence from him immediately after he agreed to take up my case and it was clear that he was doing everything in his power to work on my behalf. It was clear that he was sympathetic with my situation and that he was legitimately fighting for me using all the tools available. He also made use of his colleagues and I felt that the resources of the whole firm were behind me. Most importantly the attorneys are top-notch and know the legal system very well. I cannot thank them enough for all of their help - highly recommended!

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.
