I found David S. Kohm and Associates looking through the internet trying to find an attorney to help me. I was at my wits end until I spoke with Michael Berryman regarding my matter. He made me feel extremely comfortable so I retained their services. It was a great decision. He is getting me out of a lot of debt and is making it extremely easy to pay the little debt that I do have to pay. I would recommend Michael to anybody that needs assistance with bankruptcy.

I have came to this office for 3 different matters. The results of all cases were satisfactory. I worked with Ms. Amber and Mr. Trey. They were amazing. They listened to my stress, tried to understand and sympathize, it was more than customer service. Every case is different. Sometimes they would not guarantee the outcome, but they assured me they had a well prepare for every possible situation. They made sure the case was final correctly. Mr Lawyer Andy were great with his advise and service, I was very confident he handle my case, even though he is not so much humor...maybe that's how a lawyer facing too many stressful cases and still try his best to provide the best service look like...I don't know. Still I would recommend Andy Law Office if you are having problem or need a lawyer service to assist. I would not come back for 2nd or 3rd time if the first time wasn't good enough. Many Thanks to everyone who have helped my case. Best wishes to your business!

Our personal attorney recommended Mr. Walton after I experienced a fall in a D/FW area business. Historically, "slip and fall" cases are not lucrative/successful in Texas, but Mr. Walton and his staff felt that my case was unique. We proceeded to consult, gather information and proceed after I was released from medical care. Then Covid happened. It was frustrating for everyone, as the legal system came to a halt. Walton and his staff proceeded by gathering information, exploring options, and ultimately reaching a settlement that was satisfactory to me. I'm grateful to everyone in his practice for their time, caring attitudes, expertise and encouragement. I hope I never need a personal injury attorney again, but if I do, I'll call Mr. Walton.

I had a car accident about 3 years ago, it was the other Drivers fault. I tried handling it myself with the help of my family as we have some knowledge of the process of filing suite against the Insurance company. I filed the Civil Lawsuit a few days before the 2 year statute of limitations. We thought we would hear back from their attorneys but Allstate tried to have the suit thrown out 4 months later for not moving forward with the process.
Long story short, I retained Kimberly Fitzpatrick to represent me on the matter when it seemed that the case was about to be thrown out for the above reason. She was able to pull the lawsuit out of the gutter and not only get me the $7500 I paid in Medical Expenses, but also got my lost wages while working as a Server (I was in College at the time of the Accident) when the Restaurant was not willing to give the proper documentation to press the issue of the wages in Trial.
Kimberly got both amounts of money out of the Insurance Company plus $2000 over through a Settlement when it seemed like the Judge could've thrown the case out for it being too old. What she accomplished with what she had to work with was nothing short of Magic. I highly recommend her for Civil Suit because I could tell from her tenacity and work ethic, She would have been the Defense Attorney's worst nightmare in trial.
My only complaint is that she waited until we were in the mediation to settle to start picking holes in the case. I will say, they were issues that I could see hampering the case at trial. Mostly, the lack of documentation for my lost wages would have taken $4000 off of the final amount. Most likely, pain and suffering would not have covered that amount. Ultimately, a Settlement was the best course of action that led to the largest amount of money I would have received.
You WILL NOT regret hiring Kimberly Fitzgerald.

I was injured in a auto accident in 2012 and retained Kimberly as my legal counsel. The firm also handled my divorce the prior year. For 2 years Ms. Fitzpatrick held my hand through multiple surgeries and pain management. Despite her busy schedule, she always returned my calls and frequently checked in on my well being. A genuine human being who really cares. My case was settled in less than 2 months and thanks to Kimberly's expertise, I walked away better than I could have imagined.. If you have been injured in an auto accident, I highly recommend the Harris-Cook law firm. Thank you for everything Kimberly!

First of all I wanted to say that with the help of Kimberly Fitzpatrick, my case got dismissed.
Disclaimer: do not take my word for legal advice.
In short- I was arrested for scavenging an abandoned (bait) car. This was early November.
This was my first offense.
At the time of arrest I was working self-employed less than 15 hours a week for my father, mother, and mother’s friend. I was also a househusband. I feared that the lack of employment, community participation, and education (I am a non-graduated junior student at the college level), and my age (23) would negatively impact the outcomes of this charge.
The first court date was December 3rd. That day I did not successfully get a lawyer so the court date was postponed to the 13th in order to give me time to get a lawyer. I had emailed Anna O’Day because she was one of the several lawyers who sent me mail. She sent me a detailed report on how she would handle the case. (Deferred Adjunction & said that I was not qualified for Deferred Prosecution Program (DPP)). After reading her email I was impressed and told her she was hired. For three days I did not hear back from her. She was consistently stuck in court each time I called her secretary. It was December 12th. I got desperate and discussed with my girlfriend to see if she was willing to look for the best lawyer, so I checked avoo.com and saw an AD for Fitzpatrick. I did not screen out lawyers based on practice. If I recall correctly, Fitzpatrick’s cases only consisted 10% in criminal defense. She is more experienced & specializes in a different type of law. Anyway, I called her that day and immediately had an appointment at 2. I had withdrawn 625 and kept it in my wallet for O’Day- her price for “three court appearances”. I was unsure what exactly three court appearances meant. But after three days of unavailability, I got scared and went to Fitzpatrick instead. She offered to stay with me through the case for 1,500. That seemed more of a solid contract than “three appearances”. What if I needed 4?
So, right then that day, the very day before my second court date I hired her and within 15 minutes she got my first court attendance dismissed.
She works extremely fast, is very knowledgeable and pushes the limit. O’Day said that I was not qualified for DPP since I was above 21. But Fitzpatrick said she would shoot for that and she attempted to request an exception since I was barely above the age limit. Fitzpatrick’s devotion towards getting the best results for me was very obvious- but she remained honest and practical with me. My only issue I had is that she sometimes would skip out answers to a list of questions I asked. But she is very busy and works fast, so I can’t really blame her. I just ask again and she will answer it on the second time. She is very tech-savvy. She answers via text or email.
She suggests that I get a job, get in school, get character letters, and do community service before my case was even heard. I had success getting in school and I got plenty of character letters from various influential people. I did not have success in finding a job, and I was not motivated enough to do 40 hours of community service hours.
The court hearing- Fitzpatrick talked with the DA and I could see that she had excellent people skills- It seems to me that her actions and attitude helped a lot to making the DA decide that I was eligible for dismissal! I had to take Theft Intervention counseling and perform 24 hours of community service where I completed at Mission Arlington (THEY ROCK.)
So today I got the dismissal documentation in email. Fitzpatrick had far exceeded my expectation of a “best case scenario”. I will go straight to her again if I need an attorney again in the future.

I cannot recommend a better, more skilled, and absolutely tireless attorney than David Williams. Once he took my case he worked relentlessly on getting me the medical help I needed and never stopped pursuing, as quickly as possible, the damages due me for my injuries. He is a man of high character, skill, and knowledge in his field. He TRULY cares for his clients. I could not have found a more dedicated attorney to represent me, nor a more upstanding man. I cannot express how grateful, and how fortunate, I am in having him as my attorney.

I have known David personally for about 6 years. He is a man of integrity, perseverance and honesty. I have had to hire him on two different personal injury cases that involved 18-wheeler's. Both car accidents were not my fault and both resulted in injuries where I had to take off work and eventually lost my job over. They almost permanently disabled me. Both incidents were not my fault. And both times the person who hit me, their insurance company denied liability. If it wasn't for David fighting to help me get the justice that I deserved, I would not have been able to tackle the big insurance companies by myself. I really appreciate all of the dedication and hard work that David put into my case.

After being hit and injured by an uninsured motorist, Mr. Williams helped me through a very trying time. He made sure I got the medical help and compensation needed to get back to normal. There's literally no other lawyer out there I would recommend higher. He's not just a man of law, he's a very kind and caring human being, which is hard to find these days. I am extremely grateful for all of his hard work and dedication to my case.

We utilized Don Kaiser, and Kaiser Sacco, PLLC, for significant business litigation - to include negotiation, and then to result in a full trial-based lawsuit experience. They were and are the most impressive firm we have ever been able to utilize. We were extremely fortunate. I highly recommend them for others, if in similar business/partnership dissolution /health law.contracts/breach of fiduciary duty, and specifically for jury trial (s).

A few years back, I was fairly new to the US and I had received a legal notice. I didn't know what to do. So, I started searching online and I contacted some attorneys. I think Ellen was the first one to respond if not the only one. After I provided all the details, she took the time to explain me all the next steps, she answered all my questions and later when the litigation became bigger, she represented me all the way till the end of the case.
It was great working with Ellen. She always patiently heard and answered all my questions/concerns and it was always easy to contact her via phone or email.
I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney.

Kevin was referred to me though a friend of my daughter. Since Kevin is Dallas-based and I reside in Ohio, communication was 100% long-distance (phone/e-mail). The issue centered on my contention that I had a legal right to inherit royalties from a couple of oil wells in OK which were left to other family members by my father's second wife following her death. My two daughters were among the seven named inheritors and, because of the very restrictive language in her will, it was important that whatever action Kevin took on my behalf did not jeopardize my daughters' share of their entitlement. Kevin fully understood the issue and the fact that I did not wish to pursue the matter through the courts. With my concerns and interests in mind, Kevin did an excellent job of representing me in subsequent written communications with both the Executor's attorney and with the OK oil well company attorney. Though I have not met him in person, it was apparent from our communications that he listens well and is very bright and astute. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Kevin to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Ive never in my life seen such poor service. Last year in December I had an auto accident at 5 months pregnant which cause my membrane sac to be ruptured. Which left me on bed rest for several weeks. Every time I call Im told the same thing. Been waiting on documents via email since January which I have yet to receive. I’m a single mom so tried getting a loan to help with bills because I wasn't able to work because I was on bed rest ,in which they suggested I didn’t need. Mind you I was out of work for a month or so. I still have yet to hear from anyone in the law firm regarding my case.

In addition to being exceptionally good at what they do, Rachel and Jeff are compassionate, attentive and caring. My divorce was a 2 year process, and never at anytime was I given a reason to doubt their counsel. They saw me through every high and every low. They willingly fought for all that I was entitled to and exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

This lady is the worst communicator. You have to squeeze every ounce of information from her. Even your court date! She can’t let you know unless you ask her. She is stubborn and very rude. Customer service is not a term she is familiar with. I hired her for a devorce case and was thoroughly disappointed in her. She wouldn’t do anything until I pushed her. She would not pass any information along. Not even the court date. When I asked her she said “ I don’t know what you would do with that info”. That was after waiting for a whole month for updates on the case.
She misspelled names on my case but still refused to take responsility. She removes you from the picture like you don’t matter in your own case.
Please look elsewhere for representation. Don’t waste your $$. I was so tempted to fire her so many times but because of the scarcity of resources I put up with her. Thankfully she completed the case albeit the pathetic, menial outcomes. I sometimes thinks I would do a better job representing myself.

Hired her to represent me in my Divorce. The communication with her was not great at all. She received an temporary court order and did not notify me to attend court nor did she provide me a copy of the signed temporary order. Which resulted in a motion for contempt. She came to court on the motion totally not prepared which resulted in my ex not being held accountable for his contempt charge. I however received the shorter end of the stick due to the lack or representation. She then decided to remove herself from my Divorce case 16 days before trial. The paralegal are oblivious to what is going on as well Total waiste of money.

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.
