The Law Firm That Fights For Workers’ Rights!

Our mission is to educate and empower every working person in the United States so they are never taken advantage of by their employer or any other businesses to which they may suffer harm. We will educate you about your legal rights and create a comprehensive plan to address your legal needs. We guarantee a relationship of ongoing trust, transparency and communication.

Finding the right lawyer is very similar to finding the right doctor. When trying to locate the best service provider, we all look for two things- trust and competency. In the legal space, its very difficult for someone to determine if their lawyer is actually providing good advice because the law is unpredictable. Even the best lawyers lose cases in court. So, how do you know who to choose when your outcome is unpredictable? By the guiding values and philosophy of the law firm.

At El-Hag & Associates, PC, we know that your case is unique. We provide honest guidance and take caution in guiding you to make the best decision in your case. For example, we hardly every take hourly fee clients because we like to find good cases and partner with our clients by only getting paid if we succeed. But, sometimes people have offered to pay us hourly fees when we turn their case down. And we tell the clients we will not take their money because their case is so risky that the chance of getting their money back is very unlikely. Many times, these clients go to other lawyers who are happy to take their hard-earned money for a losing case. That is not part of our philosophy.

We want to be your lawyer for life.

We also do not deceive you by giving advice on things we do not know. And if we are confronted with a unique legal problem, we seek out the best people to answer the question. And we do not charge for that. Its our responsibility to know the law.

This even happened to attorney El-Hag. When searching for a corporate tax lawyer, he was recommended to work with a high level tax law firm. When speaking to them, they did not know the answer to his legal questions, and they wanted him to pay $20,000 for them to do the research and make the recommendation. Clients do not go to lawyers and pay them to do research, the lawyer’s job is to develop the expertise as part of their craft and to charge for the service. And instead, for example, attorney El-Hag could pay a law librarian a fraction of the price to do the research, or to do it himself. The problem is, many lawyers engage in this type of client deception.

At El-Hag & Associates, we want you to understand how the legal game is played, and how you can be a victim. And we hope that it begins to build a trusting and long-term relationship for the rest of your life.

I have spent my career asking what makes a good lawyer. It is a difficult question to answer because no matter what happens in a lawsuit, someone lives and someone loses. You can have the two most knowledgeable lawyers in a specific area with all the same experience and talent, one of them will lose a case at the end of the day.

Does the fact that the one lawyer lost, make that lawyer a bad lawyer? No. ALL of the lawyers who are recognized as the “best lawyers” or “Great lawyers” lose trials and cases. Why? They lose because the reality is that lawsuits are won based on many unknown variables. They are won or lost because one witness came across as more trustworthy than another, or because a juror related to one side more than the other. Jurors are deciding cases largely based on human instinct because it’s their job to render a judgment on someone’s trustworthiness. So, the lawyer’s skill is a minor component to your success.

So, what I have learned over the years is that a good lawyer is one with the right values. The way they are as a person is as important or more important as their legal skills. A lawyer who treats you with respect by being honest about the realities of the legal profession and practice, one who can tell you what you need to hear, someone who actually cares about you as a person.

I have seen too many lawyers practicing who did not have these core values. I wanted to build a firm that could be that trusted advisor to hard working individuals. At El-Hag & Associates, we make sure that all of our attorneys practice with these values, whether it’s a problem at work, a personal injury, an immigration matter, or any other legal matter you are confronted with, at resolve legal we are here for you.
