“I have worked with Jim in a variety of cases, most when I was an attorney who referred work to Jim and, once when I myself was injured. In every case, Slater & Zurz treated us with respect, were responsive, and served us well to get all compensation we were entitled to.”

I had the pleasure of utilizing Paul and his teams service. From start to finish I felt that I was a part of the family. They all treated me and my family with the utmost respect. Paul and Co were always very transparent and updated me immediately through the entire process of where we stood. I never felt that I was left out of any step over the 4 years he represented me. His knowledge and expertise in malpractice is top notch and I knew from the start I was in the right hands. Not only did we come out victorious in my case, but I am proud to say I am 6+ years clear.

To whom it may concern,
We are pleased with the opportunity to provide a reference for Paul Perantinides. Our daughter discovered her chances of surviving the type of cancer she had was diminished to zero due to the malpractice of the surgeon. Knowing she was losing the battle my daughter sought the advice of a lawyer. Mr. Perantinides ultimately acquired her case. Our daughter asked Paul to “please not forget about her.” Our daughter lost her battle with cancer in 2011 at the age of 33. During the 18 months from her diagnosis and first surgery until her death she suffered indescribable, horrific, unrelenting pain. She left behind her two girls, age 5 years and 2-1/2 years at that time. Mr. Perantinides remained an advocate for our daughter’s cause. His perseverance in holding the surgeon and facility responsible for their malpractice resulted in a settlement in 2017. Six years after her death. He did not forget about her. Although no amount of money would ever compensate for the death of our daughter, we are grateful to Mr. Perantinides for the settlement. It will help our granddaughters with their future education. So, to reiterate, we are pleased to provide a reference for Paul Perantinides. We are grateful for the years of work he did in holding the parties accountable. Thank you. Toni & Bryan

In our first meeting together, it was obvious that Paul was different from the other attorneys I had sought out. My wife passed away under the care of a local hospital, and I was looking for someone to represent me. He asked me all the right questions and engaged himself clearly showing interest in me and my family. In that first meeting it was obvious that he knew what he was talking about. He was confident about taking on my case. As we moved forward through the coming months, I became convinced that I had chosen the right person for the job.
As I was introduced to his staff over time I was extremely impressed with all of them. Paul has set an atmosphere of excellent customer service,always showing respect and care.
No questions were left unanswered, no phone calls were left hanging. Paul explained every action through the process, all the pros and cons, ups and downs. All the risks and all the possible out come. At no time did he ever try to tell me something that might have had a hidden agenda. He is an honest man, with integrity, something not always seen in this profession.
We settled out of court due to Paul's expertise and resources that led the hospital to ask if we would meet with a third party negotiator. Which we did.
I have nothing but good to say about Paul and his staff, and I have recommended him to people, and will continue to .

I had the privilege of working with Kevin for two years, and his dedication was truly outstanding. He fought tirelessly for me & his tenacity secured a settlement that exceeded expectations. His dedication and legal prowess are beyond compare.
Kevin's communication was exceptional, keeping me informed throughout the entire process. His strategic approach and transparent communication provided immense peace of mind during this challenging time.
What sets Kevin apart is his genuine care. He went above & beyond securing a settlement, advocating for a Special Needs Trust---AND at no extra cost. His generosity and professionalism are simply beyond remarkable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Kevin Hardman. His expertise, kindness, generosity, and dedication are unparalleled & make him such an extraordinarily exemplary attorney.

I had some ambivalence about consulting an attorney for my accident, however, Jim proved to be well worth the investment. He went to bat for me and arranged for a fair settlement with the insurance company of the at-fault party. He put me at ease and was very patient explaining everything and I really cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, sir.

Mr. Linnen is a pleasure to work with. His cheerful demeanor and strong knowledge of the law makes him my top recommendation for anyone seeking to resolve their issues. I've nothing but good things to say about the expediency and quality of his work and communication.
Throughout the entire process Mr. Linnen was readily available for any queries I had and took his time to explain everything I wanted to know. His approach is, both, personal and professional. I am so happy that I went to Mr. Linnes as his response times were outstanding and he genuinely invested into my case and left me thoroughly impressed.
There are hundreds or thousands of lawyers out there but for me and my family, The Linnen Co., L.P.A. Attorneys at Law is the best. Mr. Jay Linnen is very professional, responsive, honest, hardworking, helpful and he is also very nice and friendly person to talk with. His legal knowledge is amazing. My case was perfectly taken care of by him, also in a timely manner. If you are still looking for a lawyer, search no more further, waste no more time. Give him a call and set up your appointment. I highly recommend him.

I was looking for a lawyer after suffering a severe burn from a heating pad. I wasn't after a lot of money but the company employed an expert product liability lawyer and I knew I would get nothing without representation. I had a bad experience with lawyers in the past. John took the case, was good to me, made me feel comfortable and settled the claim for a fair sum. I would recommend him. He's a good and honest man and a competent lawyer. Thanks John.

James helped me have squatters removed from my rental property in Akron. There is a complicated process that is far from easy in order to evict someone from your home and James knew exactly what to do and got it done without a single mistake. He is very professional, diligent and responsive. I never had to wait long for a return call. James was there all the way to the end and was even onsite when the Sheriff removed the tenant. I highly recommend using James Galla for any of his practices.

Can't be bothered by someone who is owed nearly $20,000 with mounds of evidence from someone else who has tons of money and a good income who ripped me off, and won't even give a reason why other than "It's not something that we're willing to take on right now. Very dismissive. I wouldn't bother calling. Waste of your time.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer
Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with car accident cases?
Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?
Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
- Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
- Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
- Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
- List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
