Sarah S. says, "Dana Delman took over my three-year-long probate matter from an incompetent lawyer. Within a week, she cleaned up most of the issues and brought to my attention various rights that my other lawyer never told me about. Dana has a very sympathetic and caring nature, but that never hindered her work; she is a spitfire and bulldog in the courtroom. Her professionalism and communication are tremendous, and she takes a customer service approach to everything she does. I would definitely recommend Dana to others." Read more

Your lawyer questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does a lawyer cost?

A lawyer costs $150 to $400 per hour, depending on their location, field, and experience level. Some lawyers charge a $500 to $5,000 retainer fee, which is essentially a down payment based on their hourly rate. Other lawyers charge a flat fee for basic services, including:

  • Filing for bankruptcy
  • Immigration cases
  • Trademarks or patents
  • Writing a prenup
  • An uncontested divorce without a custody arrangement

What does a lawyer do?

A lawyer gives legal advice and completes paperwork on behalf of clients. Lawyers who have passed the bar exam can represent their clients in court and advocate on their behalf. These services save their clients the time and stress it would take to complete legal work on their own.

Specific responsibilities of a lawyer include:

  • Advising clients
  • Organizing and filing paperwork
  • Conducting relevant research
  • Negotiating settlements
  • Communicating with clients, witnesses, and colleagues

Does it cost money to ask a lawyer a question?

Most lawyers offer free consultations before taking on your case. This allows you to ask questions and helps them decide how long the case might take and whether you're likely to win. However, once you hire a lawyer, you will be billed for phone calls, questions, and emails.

What education is needed to become a lawyer?

A person must get a bachelor's degree and a juris doctor degree (J.D.) from an accredited law school to become a lawyer. Law school takes 3 years, or 7 years including a bachelor's degree. They must also pass the bar exam in order to represent clients in court.

What's the difference between a lawyer and an attorney?

The terms "lawyer" and "attorney" are usually used interchangeably, but they are technically different. A lawyer is someone who graduated from law school and can give legal advice but may or may not have passed the bar exam.

An attorney is a person who passed the bar exam and is now qualified to represent clients in court. All attorneys are lawyers, but not all lawyers are attorneys.

How to I choose a lawyer?

When choosing a lawyer near you, follow these steps:

  • Decide which type of lawyer you need for your case.
  • Compare reviews from lawyers on Thervo and Google.
  • Get 3+ estimates from lawyers near you.
  • Verify their credentials and whether they've passed the bar exam.
  • Choose a lawyer who fits your budget and makes you feel comfortable.
  • Choose a lawyer that's conveniently located if possible.
  • Get an estimate and contract in writing before any casework begins.

What questions should I ask lawyers?

Ask the following questions to find the best lawyer possible:

  • How long have you been practicing law?
  • When did you pass the bar?
  • Do you give free consultations to potential clients?
  • Are you able to take on my case now?
  • What are your rates? Do you charge by the hour or have a retainer fee?
  • How many cases like mine have you won?
  • Will you give me a written estimate and contract?

I’ve worked with Jeffrey for many years now. He’s helped me with my businesses, always given me excellent contacts, and twice now he’s gotten out of very tough and unforeseen legal situations. One time, where luckily I decided to call Jeffrey in a situation I might have thought ok to handle on my own. It turned out that without his legal counsel I’d have been subject to a very expensive verdict and even possible jail time but instead, directly because of the time I spent on the phone with him I got off scot-free. He has always come through for me, no matter the demands on his time (or patients), including highly inconveniencing himself and pulling off a last-minute miracle for me very recently. Jeffrey Morris is a highly loyal, fiercely protective, and brilliantly minded legal council who’s phone number everyone should have.

As in-house litigation counsel for an Illinois company with a national presence, John’s ability to crystallize the legal issues unique to California and our case were indispensable and critical to achieving a favorable result for all parties involved. It was a pleasure working with John and his team. Whenever I have an issue in California, he will be the first attorney I call for advice.

Mrs. Desai has been an extreme pleasure to work with in every aspect of her field. She is professional, intelligent and I feel that she is looking out for our best interest in every way. She has great ideas that seem coincide with what we are thinking and also adds with better ideas and methodologies throughout the process. Roshni has the level of experience we were looking for as a Lawyer, a Real Estate agent and a counselor of financial family concerns and I am sure many more. I feel that she has the knowledge and credentials to back it up. It has been a real pleasure to work with her on all of our needs and issues that have arisen and she has come through in every way. Thank you Mrs. Desai for everything you do and have done for our family! Ervin Bright, Charleston, SC

Our families experience with Craig Walkon, and his Law office was exceptional. We have never been through anything like this before, and every step in the process was explained thoroughly. Walkon 's Law Office accepted our case, after many offices turned us down. He was thorough, efficient and always had our best interest in mind. I would definitely recommend Craig S. Walkon Law Office to anyone that would be in need of his services. I am very thankful for the professionalism and support I was shown, as well as the results we received in a very timely manner. Hopefully, we never experience another problem like this again, however, Craig Walkon would be the first person our family contacted. Throughout the experience I felt comfort to know our interest was in the best hands possible

After charging with a DUI, I searched for a lawyer that I can trust and rely on to defend me. I stumble on the Anthony Marcus Law Firm on Yelp. I was really amazed with the good reviews I was reading about attorney Marcus. I then went to other links that show more outstanding reviews. I, there and then decided to contact him, the reviews were really accurate, he was friendly, patient and explained all the steps of navigating the court regarding my case. I meet with him afterward. Immediately, I observed his confident and his knowledge of the law. He truly changed my anxiety to calmness. Not only he did what he said he will do, he is affordable. He gave me a discount after he initially gave me a good price compare to other attorneys’ quotes. When he appeared in court, Mr. Marcus immediately communicated with the DA and the court and got me a good deal from the court with no jail time even though my case involved property damages to others. I recommend him to my friend and he also was very accommodating. I highly recommend this honest and genuine lawyer to anyone in need of effective representation.
