Consider the following when choosing an attorney:
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?
Appearance - Appearance isn’t everything, but people do judge a book by its cover. Studies have shown that your attorney's appearance affects perceptions of trustworthiness, intelligence, authority, and success. Appearance not only includes dress - but also presentation. How well does your attorney speak? Does the attorney have energy? Or is the attorney boring and uninteresting? How quickly will judges and jurors tune him/her out?
How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How long can a case like mine take?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?
Attorneys at smaller law firms typically have more hands on experience, the bonus of added courtroom experience and the benefit of advanced trial experience. In addition, attorneys in a small firm practice and are more knowledgable in a broad spectrum of law so they tend to be more innovated through recognizing multiple legal solutions quickly. They tend to think outside the box. The lawyer in a smaller law firm has more input in the process and management of your case. Moreover, typically the client gets to speak to the attorney directly. Besides the lower costs, the efficiently of a small firm is a benefit to its clientele.

One of The Most Ethical Lawyers I’ve Ever Known...
Let me start by saying I am extremely pleased by Mr. Devereux's work, professionalism, and devotion to his clients. He was very honest and never made any false promises about the outcome of my case nor did he try to seek compensation further than our initial contract. I initially consulted and even hired other experienced attorneys but nothing got accomplished. Mr. Devereux worked on my case for over six months and was able to get my case dismissed which I was told by previous attorneys was impossible. My husband and I are forever grateful for his great work!

Brillant & Informative Attorney
Michael came to us when we were in crisis and had just lost 500k in an internet wire fraud hack job by criminals. He lightened us up with good information and follows up. Just a really nice good guy and easy to talk too.

Great Attorney
Mr. Devereux and his firm did an outstanding job with understanding and handling my case. From the initial consultation on the phone, Mr. Devereux put me at ease that the situation could be taken care of. Let me just say that I'm not an educated man, but I do know how to treat people, and I know when someone has a good heart. I would like to personally thank Mr. Devereux for communicating with me constantly during the process, and for responding to my emails and/or phone calls in a very timely fashion. Thank you!!!!

Five Stars Isn't Enough...
When I had the good fortune to be represented by Mr. Devereux I was reminded that God does indeed work through others. I owe this man my life, literally. Everyone told me my case was hopeless, that I was a fool to take this to trial and this man had faith in me and his ability to give me a fair trial and ultimately an astounding new belief in humanity. Watching him in action was like watching a surgeon save a life.I believed he truly cared about me and my case. I can't thank him enough. Thank you Mr. Devereux!!

Super Lawyer beat the pants off the Prosecutor & the Judge-WINS unanimously in less than 40 minutes of Jury deliberation.
YES, I highly recommend Michael as a Super Lawyer. Michael took my case to the full jury trial because the issue was politically sensitive and he beat the pants off the Prosecutor. The prosecutor commented such and shook his hand at the end. Michael is a fact driven lawyer. He fights to WIN. Although the experience is troubling for anyone to have to go to court, Michael takes the burden away & off the client.
