I was in a car accident that left me with some long term physical impairments that were not well known immediately after the accident. Michael guided me through the insurance claim process allowing me to take the time necessary to understand the complete impact that the accident would have on my life. Michael interacted with me through all stages of the process. We were able to make a fair settlement with the insurance company which was a huge step in the mental part of the recovery process.

My husband was in a Tragic Fatality accident in 2014 and I didn't know which way to turn! I sought out for Attorney Counsel and Mr. Michael Schneider, was kind enough to sit in on the briefing and in turn I retained him to assist me with my case.
He is very thorough and his staff worked diligently with him to answer all my questions and make me feel at ease while going through this difficult time.
I recommend, Attorney Schneider to you if you need assistance, as he has a wealth of knowledge and WILL get the job done!

My truck was struck by a vehicle that ran a red light. I was referred to Mr. Schneider by a friend/co-worker and thank gods for that! Michael was an encyclopedia of law knowledge, friendly, and patient with me in my by then very stressed out state of mind. He was able to answer all of my questions clearly and concisely. To make a long story short, he was able to get me far above what I had wanted in my settlements with insurance companies and was great help in clearing up my medical bills. I would highly recommend Michael as an attorney and definitely utilize his services again if the occasion arose.

I have known Rick for nearly 20 years in connection with his representation of catastrophically injured children. As the guardian ad litem in some cases and the eventual guardian in others, I have had many opportunities to observe his fine legal skills, including negotiations, motion practice, trial, and his extensive post-judgement work with children and families in securing optimal financial, social, health, and family outcomes for his clients. He is really smart, thoughtful, candid, insightful, charming, humorous, conscientious, and absolutely and continuously committed to every aspect of his clients' welfare. I know many excellent lawyers but Rick is in a class by himself.

Colleen Libbey and Libbey Law Offices went beyond my expectations with settling my claims. From the moment they accepted my case to the last day of receiving my settlements, they continued looking out after my best interests. They were sympathetic to the injuries that have continued to plaque me on a daily basis and for the remainder of my life. They were able to collect the amounts allowed me to the fullest extent of the law and with that, it has made my life a bit less stressful. I truly believe that she and her team are the best in their fields and I can’t thank them enough that they settled everything within a year of them taking my case. Again “Thank You” Colleen and your team for everything that you have done for me.

Marc Chicklo and his team are professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Family court is a nightmare in the best situation and they worked very hard to make the experience as palatable as possible. Marc was always straightforward and set realistic expectations through out the process. His team was always available and they were great at keeping me informed. The process is overwhelming and daunting but I am extremely grateful I had Marc and his team in my corner and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Both attorneys, Dan and Colleen, and their paralegal, Michelle, helped me to navigate throughout this investigation process.

Rayna helped us out so much too! She was quick to get us our paperwork and answer any questions. She got us into the office quickly anytime we needed to. Rayna was also great at explaining each step of the process and what we needed to do. She’s so great to work with!
Definitely recommend them for getting your business up and running! We will use them for any future business needs.

Things you need to know about Evan:
-He's extremely responsive and ensures that you can reach him at any time- including after hours and on weekends
-He's well versed in Alaska family law and can give you realistic expectations for your case while also advocating for your best interest.
-He will not let the opposing party, or the judge, bully you into accepting something that isn't fairly in your best interest.
-He's thorough and detail-oriented. He will pay attention to the nuances of your case and won't allow things to fall through the cracks.
Now, my full review:
I found Evan in August 2023 after being blindsided by an unexpected custody modification motion that was based on lies and hurtful accusations. I am in Illinois. My originally custody agreement was created in Alaska, albeit my child had never been in Alaska. Her father filed there for dissolution and was willing to give me full custody so the divorce was uncontested and child custody was wrongfully established in the wrong state.
Evan responded to the motion to modify with a request to vacate the original custody order entirely- as it was wrongfully established. The judge denied our motion, but Evan was very confident that his ruling was wrong and offered the option of taking my case to the Supreme Court with a Petition for Review (similar to an appeal). After 10 months of fighting endless motions from the other side (all of which were filled with hurtful lies and damaging accusations), and having a hearing at the Supreme Court, my Petition for Review was granted and my original custody order in Alaska was vacated. My custody case is now in Illinois, the rightful jurisdiction.
Throughout this entire time, Evan recieved almost weekly emails from me. Many custody disputes occurred between the opposing party and I. Evan responded to me promptly- including addressing emergencies on the weekends AND over the Thanksgiving holiday. He always gave honest advice and was empathetic to my complex and nerve-wracking situation. Although I have absolutely no legal education, when I brought case law or hypotheticals to his attention he willingly listened and provided further insight. He never made me feel as though I was wasting his time.
When Evan spoke to witnesses and professional advocates who work with my child he was courteous, respectful, and took notes of their concerns. He treated my case as if he was fighting for his own child and understood all of the intricacies involved.
He did all of this, while never meeting me in person. I fought this entire case, with his help, from my home in Illinois. We interacted through the phone and email. Even so, as my contract with Evan comes to a close, I can say with full honesty that Evan is the best lawyer I ever could have asked for. He genuinely cares for his clients. The cases he takes on, he puts 110% effort into. He is honest, professional, well-spoken, and extremely educated in Alaska law. In the unfortunate situation that I need an AK lawyer again in the future, Evan is the ONLY person I'll go to. If any of my friends or family in Alaska need a lawyer, Evan is the ONLY person I'd recommend. If anyone reading this review is wondering if they need to give Evan a call- I'll end my review, right now, so you can start dialing his number. In the midst of a heartbreaking family law case, having Evan by your side will be the best choice you make.

We retained MR. BUTLER yet he didn’t respond to a single email, return a single call and had a colleague appear at arraignment and bail hearing. We didn’t hear from the actual attorney we retained not one single time. When we talked to the associate he never knew about emails with the office staff regarding requests or assistance we had asked for and we were forced to retain another attorney who responds EVERYTIME we have a question himself. I sent correspondence requesting some of the retainer we paid be refunded to be told we signed a flat rate fee agreement and that Mr butler would be calling me ( he hasn’t) I strongly advice you to be very aware of who you’re actually retaining. I had recommended this attorney based on someone’s experience long ago but apparently that is no longer applicable. During the bail review the prosecutor didn’t oppose bail with a third party and we had provided all the third party information the office requested weeks prior and the attorney who appeared (Frances) didn’t even mention and allowed a 2 month out rescheduled court date when he could have provided that info that day! Inadequate would be a kind word. Thankfully we had held back some of the retainer or we would be out that too! The new attorney has done more in a week than this office did in 2 months and now the office staff has a nasty attitude towards us. After speaking with many others this seems to be the norm for this office now! RUN and find a different law group or you’ll pay for absolutely NOTHING! And I mean ALOT of money! It’s fraud and theft in my opinion! I’ll update this should they by chance decide to do the right thing until then I’ll leave this review on every platform I can find in hopes of saving someone else the grief this office has added onto our already horrific situation (false charges) as if we weren’t already enduring enough with that!

Mike Graper is COMPETENCE and EMPATHY incarnate. If you get him, count your lucky stars. He is solid, fair, razor sharp, hard working, and stand back! because he knows what he's doing. He's the kind of person who gives me hope in the human race.

Amanda Lancaster is a wonderful attorney. My case involves a high-conflict situation with serious concerns for the well-being of my autistic son, and Amanda has gone above and beyond for my children as if they were her own. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with a high-conflict divorce or custody case. She knows the law well and works diligently to get things done.

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.
