Matt came on to a semi-complicated case at the request of another attorney. Not only is Matt knowledgeable, but showed me what a professional and prepared person that he is. His compassionate and caring attitude helped me through a tough time in life. I would highly recommend Matt as an attorney. He will truly work for you and get the best outcome possible for your case.

Matthew commiserated, consoled and provided me with valuable insight into my query regarding the possible lawsuit. I would refer him to anyone filing a civil suit in Arizona.

I was referred to Matt several years ago to help file/navigate a civil claim. The case ended up being somewhat lengthy, no fault of Matt's, but he always made sure I knew exactly what was going on and why it was happening, every step of the way. Matt helped take the mystery out of the civil process and made sure I knew exactly where we were. Matt is fair and ethical. He was quick to tell me what he felt was fair and right, even if it was not exactly what I wanted to hear. He is aggressive and firm, but only at appropriate levels, he is not one to be pushed around. Due to the curveballs that life throws, Matt ended up representing me on two seperate civil suits within the past few years. Both cases were successfully settled, thanks to the knowledge, expertise and tenacity of Mr Millea. He comes highly recommended. I have recommended him to both family and friends. Great atttorney and an even better human being!

My son was killed in a truck/car accident, leaving behind a large extended family. Abdul and his partner, came right out to our house and spoke to several of us and explained what he could do. It was an involved case but Abdul went out of his way to help. I was especially impressed by how he kept us updated. Most attorneys do not do that! Abdul is also a caring person. I highly recommend you hire Abdul if you want a progressive attorney who will go out of his way for you!

Unlike other bankruptcy attorneys- Dominic is an advocate who is compassionate and helps you step by step. Jocelyn- his paralegal - held my hand though all the paperwork - being that I am the least tech savy person ever! Faced with foreclosure on my home and home business- I was a wreck. Everyone other law group I'd spoken to were dismissive and offered to send paperwork but did not seem enthusiastic to help me at all. Dominic's office is staffed with kind supportive people who genuinely care. If you are going through a crisis and need an attorney- Majors Law Group is who you should choose.

He is kind, competent, knowledgeable but also aggressive in making sure you receive absolute restitution/compensation. They genuinely care about you and your circumstance and work tirelessly on your behalf. I am very grateful and am more than happy to give his practice the praise and referrals they truly deserve!

My partner and I were involved in a cycling accident (hit by a car) and suffered serious injuries. We were new to the area and trying to figure out which was the best lawyer seemed such a task while in recovery. A few lawyers were recommended to us, one of which was A.J.Mitchell. After speaking with him on the phone and then meeting him in person we were positive that he was the one to choose. He was caring, compassionate, personable and genuine and took ample time to make sure all of our questions were answered and all information was gathered. Throughout the whole process, he has remained as such! His expertise is unlimited and he has searched every avenue for us to make sure all grounds were covered. He has been extremely diligent and it shows that he takes great pride in both his work and his clients. I could not be more thankful that we choose A.J. to represent our case and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Erlichman Law Firm has represented me as well as my family members and friends over the course of 30 years. We would NEVER think of calling on any other Attorney to represent our family and friends in matters of accidents, injury, and liability cases. Joseph Erlichman is the BEST of the BEST, when it comes to litigating and winning cases, that appear impossible. He's never lost a case for me, nor any other family member or friend I've ever referred to him. More importantly he is a man of integrity, highly knowledgeable, and respected in his field of expertise. He shows up prepared to fight using all the resources he needs to WIN. The staff is professional, thorough, and always makes the clients feel they're Mr. Erlichman's only case, which is a great feeling. Mr. Erlichman is responsive, attentive, and gets results. I am fortunate, and blessed to have him in my corner when there is a need for sound legal representation.

I cannot speak highly enough about Veronika Fabian. After consulting with Veronika and her partner, they took my case against a car dealership that had failed to live up to their end of an agreement. The case was not easy, but in the end the arbitrator ruled in our favor. The legal advice and guidance they provided to my wife and I throughout the process showed they genuinely cared about us and our case. Always responsive and honest with us from start to finish, we could not have done it without them.

At first I called three local attorneys, two of which didn’t handle my type of case and left me at a lost as to which direction I should go. The third attorney I contacted didn’t handle my situation as well, but took the time to explain that I needed a Contract Law attorney and went further to recommend an attorney that specialized in case vs. auto dealerships. I was grateful for the lead and immediately contacted the Law Office of Choi & Fabian. Right from my initial conversation with Ms. Fabian I knew she was knowledgeable about automobile contracts and was very patient as I explained my dilemma. She asked to review the contracts and related documents. While waiting over the course of a weekend, I received a call from the dealership stating they have reconsidered our issue and were willing to unwind the deal. I spoke with Ms. Fabian on Monday and she agreed that a simple and quick resolution is favorable. I was not out for vengeance or a punitive damages award. I wanted to part company with this new car dealership and that is what I got. Note: In my state doesn’t have a 3-Day Right To Cancel Law, therefore disputes are difficult to resolve. Thank you Ms. Fabian for your concerns and being accessible.

I had a bad fall out with my business partners. When I hired Adam I was on the verge of completely losing all my shares to my partners because they had the majority vote. After our first meeting, I knew he was going to be my lawyer because he asked all the right questions. He explained what my rights were and the legality (or lack of) in what they were trying to do to me. He discussed a few approaches I could take and discussed all the pros and cons of every approach. He took all my advice into consideration when putting a game plan together. So of course I hired him. I was ready for a very long battle because it got very personal between us. I knew nobody was willing to budge. To make a long story short, it is now 6 months later and the case is over. I sold my shares for almost 10% more than my asking price. Adam is hands down the best lawyer I have ever worked with. He made me feel like I was his only client. He remembered every detail about my case every time we spoke. Not to mention he is very generous when counting his hours. I highly recommend Adam. It was a pleasure working with him

I highly recommend Attorney Carl Engstrand. When I was involved in a wreck I was on the receiving end of the other person’s insurance company, and although that company was admitting fault, it was obviously in business to cut its losses. I was left feeling frustrated and powerless to adequately represent myself without an attorney experienced in accident law on my side. Carl Engstrand was recommended to me. After I called Attorney Engstrand, it was such a relief to turn the situation over to him. I was kept updated in the time frames that had been explained to me. My questions were answered along the way. And, I was extremely pleased with the end result. It was obvious Carl Engstrand cared for the both my medical and financial compensation and well-being. Thank you for your time & attention to my case.

Being an attorney myself, I have high expectations in general, especially regarding representation. Without hesitation, I can report that I received excellent service and communication from the moment I called Carl Engstrand/ALG. ALG provided referrals (who contacted me before I could contact them!) who also provided excellent service. ALG also kept in constant contact with me, negotiated with a very unresponsive and difficult insurance company and provided timely updates regarding my case. It is always a nice surprise to find a business who advertises great customer service and actually delivers! Thank you Carl and ALG, you guys are the real deal!

Met Lionel through Fasttrackdivorce.com. Pure chance selection from a list of attorneys practicing non-adversarial family law. Lionel is a very approachable individual with a deferential personality. The collaborative process we started did not succeed in the end, but Lionel, during the course of the two years it lasted, warned and coached me, first with a view to success, then, when it became apparent that collaboration was failing, he spelled out approaches to take in order to proceed with as much success as would be possible. He seems unique in that he took the initative to treat us all to snacks/lunch. He was always prepared, friendly, very knowledgeable of the law, and in no way shied away from voicing his opinion. It was with some sadness that our professional relationship ended, my having to hire a litigator, but a personal friendship has evolved, which I am enjoying to the fullest.

I was lucky to have such a professional, compassionate and experienced attorney as Lionel Galperin to represent my interests through the dissolution process. I am glad that we chose the collaborative approach where team of trained professionals followed a structured process to help us identify mutual goals, consider various scenarios, develop parenting plans, and make mutual decisions. As my advocate on the team, Lionel Galperin understood my position on all aspects of the case and expertly represented my interests while achieving a fair settlement. The preparation of legal case work was thorough and timely and we were kept informed at every stage. The non-adversarial team approach provided all the resources we needed to facilitate communications, financial planning, real estate decision making, child welfare consultation, and administrative matters. They also brought in experts to help with pension valuation and military law matters. If you need a collaborative law attorney, I highly recommend Lionel Galperin.

This was my first ever car accident. I’d never gone through this experience before and boy, was I put through the ringer. I was hit by a semi truck changing lanes and pushed into another semi truck to my right. I was scared, confused and this was my very first car (which I loved, so I was very sad about it haha). The moment I spoke to the team and to Chris, I felt comforted. I felt supported and encouraged. The other guy’s insurance company that we were trying to settle with fired and rehired at least 5 different case workers for my case alone. Now the company is going under. Chris. Was. Awesome. They put red tape, hoops and so many other things in front of him and he just led me through it every step of the way. During this time (March 2019- December 2019) my car was classified as abandoned, had the wheel stollen off of it, the battery stolen off of it, and some of the items inside were also stolen while it sat on the lot. Someone from the tow yard decided to steal the title on the car. I moved states. I got married. I was taking classes. AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS. So everything that could have happened during this time DID. And Chris was ALWAYS on top of it. He was so communicative and explained things to me in a way I could understand. I could ALWAYS get a hold of Chris at least within the same day and that’s something I really appreciate. I’m very grateful and blessed by Chris and the team because of the way they “held my hand” from start to finish, even through the absolute WORST parts of it. Thank you Chris!!

After being dropped by another attorney 45 days before trial and out over a hundred thousand dollars, I couldn't find another attorney to take my child custody case. That is until I met Sandra. When Sandra takes on a case, she gives it her all! Sandra does not shy away from a case where she feels there has been an injustice. She works incredibly hard , has a tremendous amount of compassion for the people she represents and takes pride in her core values. Sandra is tenacious and a person of integrity. she stuck with me for my 3 year battle. Sandra not only won my child custody battle, but she also won the biggest settlement in Gwinnett Co since 18 years prior. Sandra was up against the "good ol' boys club" who had 3 times more experience than she did and won!!. So, don't be fooled by the "time on the job" sort of speak... You have to have passion,determination, integrity & zeal. Sandra has all that and more!

When I was in an automobile accident, I was confused, hurt, and felt alone like I had no where to turn. A friend of mine recommended Sandra to represent me. I had a consultation with her and knew right from the beginning that the right choice was made from the start. Sandra is very professional and dedicated from the get go, she works tirelessly on a case not leaving a stone uncovered. She keeps you informed on everything she has done and everything she is doing and planning on doing. She was always there for me no matter how busy she was would always take my phone call and answer any questions that I had. She is very professional inside the courtroom, stands by your side constantly. I am proud to have had her as my attorney to represent me. She definitely goes the extra mile for her clients. If I ever need an attorney again, I know exactly who to call.

My experience working with John Leader could not have been better! My case (including all of the Appeals) lasted over 7 years. Throughout the entire process (which was very emotional and difficult for me), John was knowledgeable, communicative, yet understanding and comforting in regards to what I was going through. Last but not least....we won our case (which had never been done before against this entity), and prevailed through 3 appeals! The judgement exceeded all of our expectations. While I would trade it all in a heartbeat, I would not have wanted to go through this ordeal with anyone else! John is a wonderful attorney... & person!

I was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck by another vehicle that ran a stop sign. I was hurt badly. The company that was insuring the vehicle I was in was giving me the run around, while the insurance company of the at fault driver was completely ignoring me. I needed help fast. A friend of mine suggested Wattel and York, so with hesitation I sent off an email. Within literally 5 minutes I received a phone call. Much to my surprise it was the attorney’s office, and not just a paralegal or legal assistant. The ACTUAL attorney called me and discussed my case! I went in the following day for a consultation and they took my case. Throughout the whole process, all I can say is how wonderful this firm is. From their legal assistants and paralegals all the way up the lawyers themselves. They’re timely and accurate in their communication, whether it is over email or telephone. I could call and talk with the attorney anytime, and they would drop what they were currently doing to answer any questions I had. My fear and despondency disappeared with sweet release as I read the demand letter that Michael York sent to the insurance companies. It was extremely well written and was “matter of fact” in its demands. The insurance companies paid out in full all that was requested from the demand letter without hesitation. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to anyone who was injured in an automobile accident. This law firm really does fight for you!

August 12, 2015 (Wednesday); 2:30 p.m. EDT Sierra Vista, Arizona Thankfully, I've led a benign life. I learned when I was very young from my wise parents that life by itself is difficult enough without negatively encountering the law. I went to college with those who became attorneys, and have known attorneys through working for charities we had in common, but I never needed legal representation until I was nearly 65 years old. It was a horrific traffic accident I was in nearly three years ago that first caused me to find and secure an attorney. There were several that urged me to contact the firm Wattell & York, one friend, having been in the same circumstance years ago, saying, “You don't stand a chance against the insurance companies. Its against their best interest and bottom line that they pay out claims of any size to anyone.” My first conversation after registering was with Michael York, one of the general partners of the firm. He took his time explaining in layman's terms the course ahead, then invited me to contact him at any time I had a question, concern, or thought. He was terrific and put any trepidations I had to rest. And my confidence in he and his team only grew as my case unfolded. When complexities arose, and they always do, I was so impressed and appreciative of his long and detailed correspondence, clearly articulating options. Throughout the complex and distended process of my case, I was always kept current as to the status of all developments as they transpired. Through much communication and correspondence, it was so evident to see that the general partners of the firm and all supportive staff act as a tightly coordinated force, always pressing forward with their client's best interest in mind. In a world where insurance companies act in the settlement phase of a claim so vastly different than their cute slick promotions strongly suggesting compassion, caring, and fairness for all, I feel beyond fortunate that I retained the services of Wattell & York. Thanks to Michael York, Wattell & York is an extremely competent, well run, and efficient organization that I highly encourage anyone to retain. When you do, with a determined and tenacious team on your side, you have a tremendous chance in getting the settlement you so richly deserve. Best Wishes, Tommy Neyhart (520) 220-0221

I had a significant problem with a large auto insurance company in paying labor rates at a recommended auto body shop. After 9 months of squabbling including a demand letter from an attorney, I was referred to Mr. York. Mr. York took the case and was able to work with the insurance company in an efficient and timely matter. He was able to get me reimbursed in only a few short weeks. I would highly recommend Mr. York to anyone.

There were no surprises, what he said, he did. I would recommend David to anyone needing a litigator. He is certainly one of Phoenix's best.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. 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.
