Sid helped me get the results I needed with my issue. I had tried to seek services from a physician who ended up overcharging me for services not provided and mishandled my healthcare. When I tried to handle it myself, it was like I was hitting a brick wall; I got nowhere. But as soon as Sid started helping me, things got done very quickly. He started working on my issue that very same day. You will be hard pressed to find another attorney that will tackle an issue that quickly for you. Sid is dependable, trustworthy and extremely hard working. Sid advocated for me so much more effectively than I could’ve ever advocated for myself. I will always appreciate what he did for me and I 100% recommend his services to anyone thinking about hiring Sid. If you’re reading this right now and are thinking about calling Sid for a consultation, I would highly advise you to do so. Sid made sure that there was absolutely no pressure to hire him, and he only provided information that was valuable to help solve my issue. Even the consultation is free, so you literally have nothing to lose by just calling and letting him tell you what he can do for you. But you likely have quite a bit of potential financial restitution on the line that you could possibly lose if you don’t call Sid. I trusted Sid to make the right decisions for me and I’m so thankful I did. Hopefully this review shows my appreciation in full. Thank you, Sid!

We hired Evan for a slip-and-fall case and he was absolutely amazing. He was thorough, kept us informed, and always walked us through the pros and cons of particularly strategies. He didn't sugar coat our case - he was very honest about our weaknesses, but also emphasized the positives in a fair and balanced way. Ultimately, he negotiated a very attractive settlement for us that we considered a major success. I would give him a 1000% (yes, 1000) recommendation without hesitation.

Mr. Evans came highly recommended from an attorney that I've known for years. In the beginning Mr. Evans explained the process in everyday people's terms which made me very comfortable with him. During the process he kept us abreast of everything. Just as he was highly recommended to me I highly recommend him. Proof of my trust in Mr. Evans is that I recommended him to a friend of mine who got into a car accident days ago. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!!!

I have worked with several law firms in the past, as a paralegal, and the services we received from Montlick & Associates were truly exceptional. They were on top of every detail of my case, from my very first phone call. We really appreciated the way they really wanted to understand and consider every detail of what happened and our injuries, to do the best job possible. And when the adjuster gave them a lowball offer, they stood strong and fought hard to get us what we deserved. We were kept well informed, they always gladly answered by questions and were great about returning our phone calls. My husband and I felt that they treated us more like family or close friends. You just don't get that kind of service anymore, and we are so grateful. In our book, Montlick & Associates are the best auto accident attorneys in Atlanta, hands down!

Montlick & Assoc got the job done on my case. The attorneys at Montlick & Associates treat you like family and really worked my case beyond all my expectations. I really didn't want to hire a law firm, but I was getting pushed around by the insurance company and decided that I needed an experienced firm to handle my case. The best decision I ever made. The second best decision was calling for a free case review with the Montlick & Assoc. I pretty much didn't have to do much after the first call. They handled everything and got me a more then fair settlement in no time. Wow! I just had to say thanks to Montlick & Assoc. Don't try it alone and choose an experienced firm like Montlick & Assoc and you will be happy you did.

The Ragland Law Firm truly fights for you as they would fight for themselves, despite any challenges, and over an extended period of time, with an unwavering ambition. I was hit by a drunk driver while pregnant and unfortunately this accident led to my having a fractured spine and needing additional surgeries. The Ragland Law Firm made sure that I was fairly compensated beyond measure. There were several negotiations to ensure that each entity involved considered myself and my situation highly. I am blown away by their efforts and could not have selected a better law firm to represent me.

I was not going to comment out of respect to a friend who does a lot of business with you all, but since you responded I will. I respectfully deny your request to call. If I do call, I will not get an answer. The same thing goes for an email. If we do talk, you will not listen to what I am communicating to you. If I am ever forced to do business with you all again, it will only be out of respect to the person I am referring to who prefers to close with you. Maybe the process will go better when you realize who that is. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of people who treat people based off who they think they are. You either practice equality or you do not, there is no in between. I can only speak on my experience. You do have some great people working with you. I wish you all the best. God bless.

Hello I'm Abigail, and I'm going to tell you my own personal testimony. Woke up one day realizing, I didn't know the first thing about getting a divorce, yet alone the paperwork involved. Mrs. McCalla had already been a mentor to me throughout many years. So of course, I immediately contacted her to gather the proper legal guidance I knew was necessary . We had a consultation to discuss the divorce papers comprehensively, and Mrs. McCalla educated me on every scenario possible so there were no loose ends. At the end of the meeting, I had a lot to review, and decisions to make. Time wasn't exactly on my side, but I felt very confident. Taking steps towards my divorce was already a very emotional roller coaster for me to begin with. Thankfully, Mrs.McCalla was phenomenal, quick, and responsive to all my questions. She's hears you out no matter how dire the situation, giving me legal advice that would make it go as smoothly as possible. So far, I would absolutely recommend Mrs. McCalla as a lawyer. She is the best. Even if this is a hard time for my marriage, I don't believe I'll make any poor decisions thanks to her guidance.

My husband was hit by a negligent young driver. The insurance company for that driver was a bottom of the barrel outfit that didn't even want to accept fault even though the police report said it was her fault and a completely independent witness said it was her fault. We were referred to Jonathan and when he met with us initially he told us that the claim should be resolved pretty swiftly, but warned us that the insurance on the other side was substandard and that waters could get choppy. That insurance company tried to low ball us from the beginning, but Jonathan made them pay for it in the end. Their offer didn't double after we hired Jonathan, it didn't triple, it went up about five times. It's not that we wanted a big pay day, we wanted fair compensation for all of my husband's injuries. His rotator cuff was torn in that crash, and that's not small potatoes. I would hire Jonathan if you want someone that's going to deal with you directly, talk to you straight so that you can understand what's going on, and someone that's going to fight with all he can to hold the responsible parties accountable.

I was hit by a young driver that failed to yield making a left turn. Liability was clear from the start. The policeman wrote her a ticket, an independent witness called the cops and spoke to the officer at the scene, and they totaled out my baby (favorite car) right away. But when it came time to take responsibility and to pay for my medical bills, they offered far less than the total bills, from the ER trip. That's when I called Jonathan. He met with me and laid out a strategy to fight for me so I got what I deserved Well, that insurance company went from bad to worse. So Jonathan sued. We went through the litigation process, depositions, and all of the discovery process. After the case was put on a trial calendar and ordered to mediation, we walked in with a $ 0 offer. That's right, the insurance company pulled the little they offered me shortly after the wreck. But Jonathan was just getting to work. Jonathan fought for me, worked the mediator, and insurance defense attorneys to the point of no return. He explained to them how they faced serious bad faith if they did not offer me the policy limits for the claim. By the end of the mediation, I had received an offer for the full policy limits of $ 25,000. A few weeks later, I go an offer for the full policy limits of my underinsured coverage, $ 30,000 more. He went from $ 0 to the maximum coverage, the hard way. The long way, and the right way. I wouldn't have gotten anything close to that amount without Jonathan's help, his knowledge, and his willingness to fight for my justice. I never wanted a handout, but I didn't want to be shorted. Jonathan got me what I deserved, and I've already recommended him to family and friends, who have been just as pleased.

I must say the statement by the refering attorney was an understatement. I was impressed that Attorney Hamilton handled my case as if I was his family and he had a ethical stake in making sure I was justly compensated for my Past, Present, and Future (Pain and Suffering ) life changing injury. The preparation of my case and the way it was presented assured me that I had chosen the "A" Team. My settlement was "ABOVE and BEYOND" and I recommend anyone who wants an attorney that will stand for them because he believes in the just treatment of any human being. Attorney Hamilton is the attorney of choice.

Victor Kutikov got me a big settlement for my injury. 100 times more than the insurance company offered me when I didn't have legal representation. He's very professional- returns your call and emails and he keeps a client informed on the progress of the case. I wouldn't recommend any attorney I've had in the past but attorney Victor Kutikov. He gets the results you're hoping for.

Had an auto accident with minor injury. Insurance company was a pain to work with. Friend if mine recommended that I talk to Victor, who he has worked with before. From the first phone conversation it was clear that he knew how to deal with the insurance company. He explained all the options and took care of everything. Victor is very easy to work with, very informative and reliable. He kept me in the loop during the entire possess and made sure that I was satisfied with the outcome. I keep his number in my phone and will definitely use him, if needed.

After working with Attorney Rucker I can firmly attest that he is the absolute best litigation and Trial Attorney in the state. My case was dropped by a prior Attorney so to reach the final outcome of a very successful jury verdict of $250,000 from an injury feels like total vindication. I would not have this outcome if it were not for his personal expertize, determination and regard that he showed to my situation from the moment I retained him. No other Attorneys in the state would take my difficult case. Watching him in court I witnessed a truly smart professional who is a master of his craft. He cares and he has a powerful skillset as a litigator that he utilizes to his clients greatest advantage in order to ensure that his clients no longer have to suffer from the many impacts of an injury caused by another.

Ryan was confident that he could obtain the necessary evidence to win my case and he did! He is the truly one of the best litigators in the State. The jury awarded me over $175,000.00!! Needless to say, I recommend Attorney Rucker to you if you want to win...BIG!

Attorney Rogers provided superior service. He provided representation for me in a trucking accident case. Based on my initial correspondence with him, he went to the accident site and began investigating the wreckage remaining at the site, skid marks on the interstate, and damage to the surrounding vegetation. His knowledge and skills in this area of law made the litigation process proceed in a smooth and timely manner. Attorney Rogers always returned telephone calls in a timely manner. His support staff was also helpful. Attorney Rogers handled the case in an ethical and professional manner. It was obvious that he valued his clients, and I felt he valued my case. I would definitely use this attorney again and refer my friends and family to him.

I am very thankful to have had Clyde Rickard and Jessica Nix as my attorneys for my personal injury case. I started with another firm that wouldn't even return my calls, I could never go to their office (not sure they had an office) the only time I would here from them or their paralegal was to sign papers and it was always to meet this woman in a parking lot and ALWAYS told to sign papers, sign here, sign there and it was all done out of the back of her van which was more than scary. That happened twice, one too many times for me, also I was in constant pain they (the other atty) never helped me as far as my medical attention. And then by the Grace of God I fell right into the lap of Clyde Rickard and Jessica Nick and after a meeting with Clyde and Jessica and them telling me that should have happened but we're not happening with or for me at all. So for me the best move I ever made was to fire them(the other atty) and hired Clyde and Jessica within 2 days I was seeing a doctor that helped me greatly with my pain. I was always kept informed about what was going on with my case and my calls were always answered and returned, any problems that may have come went straight to them and we're handled immediately and again I was always constantly informed about what was going on with my case. And when it came down to the settlement Clyde is a MASTER NEGOTIATOR!!!! My settlement was more than satisfactory for me and definitely more than I expected!!!!!! I was completely floored but forever thankful and grateful to them I would advise anyone if you have an accident or a slip-and-fall you should call no PLEASE CALL Clyde and Jessica immediately don't wait they can get you the help you need, they can send you to an excellent doctor for pain management without having to wait weeks to be seen and they are constantly and always in touch with you, you will always know what's going on with your case. And be assured you will be more than happy satisfied and the more than pleased as I am with the rare professional and caring services these attorneys (Clyde and Jessica) will provide you. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! RICKARD & NIX (CLYDE & JESSICA) Y'ALL ARE ROCK STARS!!!!!!!!!!

I was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident (in 2019) that was not my fault. My first attorney did not have any experience litigating motorcycle cases. He was slow to move on the case and was not looking at all options in terms of recompense. After several months of inaction, I handed my case to Allen who, from the very first call, made it clear that he was familiar with how to litigate motorcycle cases - he also rides - and identified ways in which we could achieve a better settlement than just the liability coverage of the other driver which covered less than 25% of my medical expenses. Over the course of the next 9 months, Allen did a great job representing me. He was quick to respond to my requests for updates and patient with me when I asked how the process works. (This was my first time pursuing a civil case.) Through his efforts we were able to settle the case without having to go to trial. I am content with the settlement amount and know that I would not have got anywhere close to this had I stayed with the attorney I had originally hired. If you've been in a motorcycle accident, given Allen a call. He definitely knows what he is doing. Thank you Allen and Dale (Allen's paralegal) for all your time, attention and support. I hope not to need your services again, but if I find myself in a similar situation, I will definitely call.

Michael is fantastic. I found myself in a situation where I needed an attorney after being very unexpectedly sued over an incident that occurred years ago. While the suit seemed to have no merit, I knew I would feel more comfortable with an attorney on my side. Michael took the time to help me understand all the potential outcomes, while also reassuring me that the case likely would be thrown out. He advised me on next steps, drafted letters on my behalf, and was incredibly empathetic about the fact that regardless of legitimacy, the situation I was in was stressful. He took swift action when needed and ultimately had the case completely dismissed. I highly recommend Michael. He was wonderful to work with.

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.
