I worked with Juan Silva from The Dressie Law Firm. He worked on my car accident case for 3 years, he was so understanding and caring. Answered all my questions and more. During this time with working with him I had surgery that was cause by the wreck he had checked in on me while I was in recovery. If you're looking for a lawyer and a team that cares for you personally this is the place. Juan was incredibly caring and he also took out the time to explain things to me I quite didn't understand.
I was heard as a person and viewed as such.
I am so thankful for Juan Silva and the team at Dressie. They went above and beyond.
I thank them with my whole heart.

First of all, I can’t thank him enough for his legal help and support. Attorney Joel went extra miles to help me out while I had a lawsuit against me. I was wronged and taken advantage by another person whom I tutored. I was sued with false allegations. I am so lucky and I thank God that I was represented by him.
He did a psychological counseling and supported me when I was traumatized, frustrated and didn’t know what to do with his legal counsel and help.
I only won the case against the person who made false allegations against me to avoid paying for my services and to a revenge because she failed one of the classes I tutored. He represented me so well in the court hearing and gave a Justice to me.
May God bless him and all his loved ones for helping a person who was taken advantage for his kindness.
I will always be Grateful and Remember his name all my life. Attorney Joel is the Best!

I had what some would call a “complicated” case. Which took time to sort out - many years in fact. Sometimes I wouldn’t hear from the office for awhile unless I contacted them first. I do think that this possibly could’ve been handled quicker. But like I said my case was complicated, they moved offices and then COVID - some delays that occurred we’re out of their control. Besides the delays - my encounters with Kevin and his team were always a delight. They were very professional, and took time to answer all my questions. We ended up getting a settlement for what I think I deserved and that was greatly appreciated. Worth all the time in the end. I would recommend them to a friend but hope they improve on regular and timely communication going forward.

I'm grateful to Kevin and his team of paralegals Kyle and Davis who helped us through the whole case. My case was complex however, Kevin and his team were able to resolve my case that started in 2018. During mediation and deposition, Kevin walked us through the whole process and prepared us for what the defense counsel was going to do and say. My case was resolved in mediation and Kevin always listened to our concerns and explained to us what was the best avenue and what to expect. The case was against Geico, and his posture never changed, thanks to that he was able to make Geico triple their initial settlement offer. I do not doubt that without Kevin and his associates Geico would have won even though they mistreated a loyal customer. I would recommend Leipow and Associates to does who need a great litigation firm.

I was referred to Mr. Bryant Green III from where I was receiving my treatment since my car accident. We set an appointment, met for the first time and I walked out, with a PEACE OF MIND that I can worry less & live more ..I knew I was with the right attorney law firm. His staff has been very very professional. I love Ms. Dorys Chilindron his paralegal. She is phenomenal!!! Mr. Bryant has made sure during the process that I was kept up to date, and kept in the loop as to what was going on with my case. Mr Bryant was very prompt in response when I reached out via phone or email. Very very knowledgable, and made me feel that my case was very important to him. I would recommend the Law Offices of Bryant Green III to anyone needing expert, timely and professional handling of their personal injury case!!

Sarah and her staff are professional, courteous, and compassionate. It's not easy to discuss estate planning. But Sarah has a way of making her clients feel at ease. She also takes it to heart to make sure she answers her client's questions thoroughly and that they understand her answers and the documents they are signing. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah for estate planning.

We contacted this firm due to their many 5 star reviews, expecting to get the same treatment. We were initially met with positive attitudes and a reassurance of why they have their reviews.
It was short lived. They needed US to solve everything for them, and they still couldn’t figure it out. They kept commending us for “acting as lawyers” (doing all the work ourselves) up until there was a delay in a change we were expecting on a paperwork. Expected on Friday.
They didn’t even wait until EOD before issuing us a disengagement letter and showing us the old paperwork. We explained to them that the party responsible for updating the paperwork, doesn’t arrive until the evening on Friday.
They ceased communicating with us when we literally had everything they asked for.
Later that day, we had everything they needed, including the NEW paperwork. (they could’ve done this themselves) and they never recanted the disengagement.
This review is a reminder that this firm is far from the 5 stars they’ve likely paid for or asked for. Also, negotiate your upfront percentage! They accepted a 28% pursuit fee because we did so much of their job for them before they even agreed to work with us.

Sorry to have to be the 1st 1-star review however, it not without reason and justification.
I was recently involved in an MVA accident where Forsyth county wrongly placed fault on me. (The other driver lied, and their “investigation” coincided with this driver at the time). Me sticking to my truth, I contacted about 8 businesses in the area seeking surveillance footage which corroborated with my account on what happened that night. After securing footage at TWO locations, submitting it to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s department, and asking for a reversal of the citation and an amendment to the report, I was granted such by the sergeant after her viewed the surveillance footage and agreed with the other driver being at fault.
I sought Angell Law Firm for their services a few days ago. I’ve gathered all supporting documents, evidence and more for my case on my own (saving them a ton of leg work). We were now simply waiting on an UPDATED report scheduled to be updated today-12/6/24, to get started with representation. I was assigned case manager Fanny Medina who on today, pulled the OLD report, called me and threatened disengagement of representation, due to the report showing incorrect information. She then hung up the call in my face, I called back and was told that she will be forwarding me the report via email.
The email contained her stating that due to the nature of the report, they would have to regrettably disengage representation with me. She also attached the OLD report. I REPEATEDLY told them there will be a NEW report and provided verbal (consented audio recording) communication from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office confirming that.
I just received written confirmation from Forsyth County’s Lieutenant, (at 9:39pm 12/6/24) confirming the new report and the updated information that Angell Law Firm said needed to be on the report. Everything is in writing. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Lieutenants issued an apology and written confirmation to fix and resolve this issue. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?
Why was I ghosted and left without representation? Your incompetent case manager had the wrong report. You all dropped the ball on this one, and I’m holding EVERYONE accountable for their errors in this matter.

Outstanding Legal Support!
I highly recommend Gunn Law Group to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. They truly care about their clients and deliver results!
Attorney Gunn was especially helpful, always available to answer questions and provide reassurance during a stressful time. Thanks to their expertise, My daughter Ms.Yarbra was able to focus on her recovery while they handled the legal aspects. From the very first consultation, their team was professional, compassionate, and dedicated to my daughter's case. They kept her informed throughout the process, explained everything in detail, and fought hard to ensure she received the compensation she deserved.

I’ve known Mr. Razavi since we attended the University of Georgia together, so when I was involved in a car accident, he was the first person I thought of. Even though we went to the same college, I had no idea just how talented and dedicated he was as a personal injury lawyer until I hired him.
From day one, Mr. Razavi took my case seriously and handled everything with professionalism and care. He was always available to answer my questions and walked me through the entire process, from dealing with the insurance companies to ensuring I received the medical treatment I needed. His attention to detail and commitment to getting the best outcome were truly impressive.
In the end, Mr. Razavi was able to secure a settlement far beyond what I initially expected, making sure all my expenses were covered and that I could focus on recovering. If you need a personal injury attorney who will go above and beyond, I highly recommend Mr. Razavi!

Joel Thrift is truly a prince among attorneys, a real good guy defending the rights of his clients. He undertook an appeal for a denial I had received in connection with a survivors pension from FERS I had initiated for my disabled brother. Not his usual thing, but he went ahead anyway. His careful prep and writing skill produced a brief that the opposition read before the presentation. It was so well constructed there was no hearing, no questions. My brother was awarded a settlement and ongoing benefits under my Dad's federal pension. Our family is internally grateful. Thanks again, Joel. Katherine and Charles.

Where do I start? The most traumatic experience of my life - was when a drunk driver hit me and my kids back in September. I thought my kids were gone. I heard about this law firm through a family friend, and man.. I’m so glad I listened. From Nitisha, to Ivonne, to Bethany, and to Jade: I can cry typing this. Happy tears. I am so grateful for all of you. You have walked with me and have even held my hand this entire time and continue to do so. You were an outlet for me to cry to and vent to, you stood firm and fought for me & my children. I am beyond grateful for you all putting me & my kids first. I can never say thank you enough. If you’re going through anything and need an injury lawyer… you’d be crazy not to call Schneider Injury Law!! Bless you all, from the bottom of my heart.

Not only did Tyler turn a minor accident into a significant payout, but his paralegals and staff were also always on top of things, making the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Everyone was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about my case.

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?

- 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.

- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.

- 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?
