In his 15+ years working alongside my business, Cleve McKnight has continuously proven his skill as an attorney. He has been indispensable in every aspect, from helping us in labor board cases to reviewing our business contracts and agreements. Not only that, but he is very respectful, highly professional and incredibly organized — all characteristics I look for in my legal team.
It’s lawyers like Cleve McKnight that help owning and running a business a bit less stressful. He works hard to ensure that our business is protected, and he’s been a great confidant for my legal affairs. I’d recommend him to any business owner who is looking for a true advocate.

I sought legal advise from another law office but was basically turned away. When I consulted with Matthew Faulkner I felt like I was treated as a extended family member in need. Matthew went above and beyond to help me with my legal matter. You couldn't ask for better representation. I highly recommend Faulkner & Faulkner Law Offices.

A friend of mine referred me to Mr. Faulkner as she once needed a lawyer she could trust and only had great things to say about him. I met with Mr. Faulkner and instantly connected with him. He understood that it was a very stressful time for me as I was trying to recover from my car accident. He ensured me that he would handle all the legal aspects of my case so I could focus on my health. Through the entire process, Mr. Faulkner kept me informed about the details of my case, included me in decisions and shared with me his suggestions based on my best interest. His goal was my goal! He was very knowledgeable and was a man of action. I was not only extremely pleased with the outcome of the case; I also found Mr. Faulkner to be an honest lawyer who believed in me, my case, and his own ability to obtain justice. I would highly recommend!

It's rare to find a professional that has the amazing ability to get results, respond to need and concerns and do so in a kind and compassionate way. Mr. Faulkner has this ability to balance people skills with a vast knowledge and experience of law to not only achieve clients goals, but also do so in a way that takes into consideration the emotional roller coaster that legal issues take us on. I recommend him wholeheartedly for any legal needs anyone has had. He and his offices have been profoundly helpful to me and my family.

Julia Vlahos started as my attorney but ended as my friend. I truly am at a loss to explain all the support, concern and advice she gave me, over more than two years. We cannot control how slow this process goes, but I would want to share this with her every time regardless. There were times, where I was upset, or angry or frustrated and she always consoled or prepared me for the next step with measured advice, but intuitive advice; she anticipated how I would feel. She helped reveal the truth about my case, which meant more than anything else n this process. She always heard me, but she also allowed the jury to hear me as well.

I hired Ms. Vlahos in regards to injuries my wife sustained in a car accident. Ms. Vlahos work efficiently and effectively in filing the complaint and ultimately getting the case resolved expeditiously. I am more than pleased with the outcome and the settlement in this case. Ms. Vlahos was on top of my case and was very personable and responsive. I highly recommend her as an attorney.

Very unprofessional, I spoke with 1 of the attorneys for a wrongful death matter and how i needed represented to protect my statue of rights by jan, and he informed me to wait tell the end of the month (nov) and if things wasn't settled he would take my case. When time came to contact him, they at that point told me they were not taking my case leaving me in the worst situation and possibly without any representation.

The amount of compassion and dedication. This team showed my family when My Cousin had a horrible accident Was unparallel. It was evident from the first meeting to the last meeting that we were more than just numbers to them Rodriguez and his team specifically Blaine consistently called and asked about us and walked us through every step of the way. I cannot recommend this firm enough. This is hands-down the best firm and lawyers I have ever interacted with in my life. And as a business owner, I have interacted with a lot of lawyers. If you need a lawyer, there is no better lawyer to handle your case than this firm. They will treat you like a human being and listen to your complaints and do everything in their power to ensure you get the best outcome possible.

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.
