Initial Review
I review the materials to determine whether there is a viable claim and what issues need to be addressed.
 



 



Move the Case Forward
Depending on the situation, this may involve preparing a lien, sending a formal demand, negotiating with the other side, or initiating enforcement. When a demand is appropriate, it is supported by the available documentation and evidence so that the claim is clearly presented and difficult to ignore. A well-supported demand often makes negotiation more productive.

 You Send What You Have
Start by submitting basic information about your situation. This can include contracts, invoices, texts, emails, photos, or anything else related to the job. It does not need to be perfectly organized.

Strategy and Structure
If the case moves forward, we discuss the appropriate approach and fee structure based on the strength of the claim, available documentation, and likelihood of recovery.

Resolution
Many cases resolve through negotiation. Others require litigation. The goal in either case is the same: turning the claim into a recovery.

Customized Case Approach

Strong, Well Supported Cases

In these situations, it is often possible to structure representation on a contingency or success-based basis, where fees are tied to the outcome. These cases allow for more aggressive pursuit because the underlying facts and documentation provide a solid foundation.

Cases That Require Development

In these situations, representation is often structured as a hybrid, combining a reduced hourly component with a success-based fee.

Cases With Uncertainty

These cases may still be viable, but they typically require more time and investigation to evaluate and pursue. In these situations, representation is usually handled on an hourly or a flat fee basis.

''I highly recommend Ari Mendelson to anyone looking for a sharp, reliable attorney. I recently worked with him on a case that he handled with incredible efficiency and zero unnecessary delay. What really stood out was his creative approach—he used specific data like phone location and work logs to build a solid case, which ultimately got the matter resolved and got me paid.

"Throughout the entire process, Ari kept me in the loop and was always easy to reach, which is rare to find. If you want an attorney who is professional, communicative, and knows how to use every tool available to win, Ari is the person to call.''

"Hands down most professional and courteous attorney I've used in many years. Please give him a call before retaining any other lawyer, his dialogue will have you decide to hire him before the conversation's over; confidence rings loudly in my ears, bravo!"
