Verified ClientHired Law firm 2014-2020I have been working with John Phillips and Paul Kellogg for a few years now and any time I have a need or issue, they are on it! I own a business and they are extremely helpful, professional but also personable. They never make me feel I'm bothering them with my questions and reply quickly. They helped with a business legal matter and took the burden off me - what a relief. I trust them, and highly recommend them to anyone. They offer such a variety of legal services in my opinion, they are a "one stop shop." Even though we are all staying home, Paul helped me with a situation via email and responded right away. I can count on them any time.

Some lawyers publish comparative information regarding the services that they provide which may be subject to specific comparative communications restrictions.
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.
