I was very pleased with the service I received at Murphy’s Law Firm. Brian McCullough worked my case and I felt he went above and beyond to provide the best outcome for my situation. Mrs. Betty would call and provide great insight as to how the process works and was very informative about the updates pertaining to my case. Both Betty and Brian were quick to respond to any questions I had along the way and explained everything in great detail. All of your hard work and professionalism has been greatly appreciated throughout this whole process. Thank you!

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the fantastic support that attorney Courtney Kretzsinger and her legal assistant Chelsea Graham provided during my case.
Working with you all under these unfortunate circumstances due to my car accident was an absolute pleasure. Yourprofessionalism and attention to detail made a significant difference, and I always felt confident knowing you all were on top of everything. You explained every step clearly, which really helped in understanding the processes involved.
I genuinely appreciate all the hard work you and the Gordon team put into my case, and I will highly recommend your services to anyone in need.
Thank you once again for your outstanding assistance!

Before finding an attorney, I googled best injury attorneys in Baton Rouge. Attorney Phillip Robinson was the first to pop up. After reading his reviews I reached out to him about possibly representing me because I was involved in a motor vehicle accident. Attorney Robinson was very knowledgeable and well educated about the career path that he had chosen. I then knew he was the man for the job. Attorney Robinson fought his best fight for me! We walked away from this case with everything we deserved and that’s because he’s that good at his job. He is very attentive and great at keeping you informed with your case. He is very resourceful and I’ll only do business with him from now on. I refer everyone to trust him if you want to win.

Mr. David Stanley has been an awesome attorney for my boyfriend. I retain Mr. Stanley in 2021 as an appeal attorney. Mr. Stanley was a terrific help with assisting me through my boyfriend case. Mr. Stanley dependency, knowledge of the law, and reliability has been extraordinary. In every phase of my boyfriend case, Mr. Stanley has been here to assist me with such patients and kindness. Mr. Stanley 30 to 40 years as an attorney is seen with great brilliance. He is so detailed oriented and precise with everything he does.

Mr. Stanley is not only one of the best lawyers in the Louisiana, but also in the nation. Before retaining Mr. Stanley as my attorney, I had consulted with many other attorneys. It quickly became very apparent to me that David Stanley was the best attorney for my case. He has over 30+ years of experience and you will not be able to find a more powerful attorney for your legal matter. He has an extremely high level of experience, intelligence and character. Throughout each stage of my critical legal matter, Mr. Stanley approached every single step with the highest level of expertise and attention. He was able to execute the best legal strategy and ultimately, my criminal case was dismissed and resolved in a very swift manner. He was ALWAYS impeccably punctual, instantly responsive, and super reliable; He was always there for me when I had any concerns or questions. The Bottom Line: He will get you the best possible result. Contacting Mr. Stanley was one of the wisest decisions I have made in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone in any urgent legal matter to see him immediately.

David Stanley was successful having both of my two separate felony cases dismissed before trial. What a huge relief to have these cases dismissed without having to go to trial. I was so impressed with his advice and courtroom skill. My case went exactly like he told me it would in the beginning. David kept me informed every step of the way. Trusting David with my case was definitely the right choice. He is awesome!!!!

About a year ago I was in a car wreck, my very first, and I was not at fault. Unfortunately, though the situation turned on me after my lawyer at Morris Bart turned down my case during my treatment for body injuries. I was told that I did not have insurance, which left me on my own with injuries that continued to have me in pain.
That was until my friend told me about a friendly and passionate friend she's known a long time; Danny Russell. He was a godsend and he really and truly felt for my situation. It's not only that he's sympathetic, but also empathic to understand what it is like to be in a situation like myself. He's inspired to really fight for you, and really look into policies that you could not understand. When he says he can do something, you better believe it. Because while I lost hope, Danny found it.
Thank you so much. Both you and your wife and staff are extremely thoughtful. Thank you for the birthday/holiday cards, and for the gift basket. That was a sweet touch to the entire experience. I feel like family. I promise not to be a stranger, we are way past that. :)

It was a positive experience working with the Danny Russell Law Firm on my case. They were there to help me every step of the way. After my car accident, I didn’t even know where to begin. Dealing with insurance companies can be nerve wracking, and an injury on top of it was overwhelming. Danny was in constant communication with me. His attention to the case allowed me to recover and get back to work quicker. I would absolutely recommend Danny Russell to handle your personal injury case.

Ms. Freeman worked on my claim and handled it well. She was available to me even on weekends if needed. I've known her for over ten years and she has always loved the legal field and takes pride in knowing she has the ability to find you excellent health care and compensation for your injuries. She is constantly working late to handle files and meet clients. Most of all, she is experienced in what she is doing and can handle any personal injury claim.

I would recommend Mr Joubert to anyone. I was 20 years old when I had my first car accident. He was so professional and caring. He was empathetic to my case and took great care of me.

He is well educated in his profession. Johnny is the only lawyer I will ever turn to.

I tried to think of a few words to describe Mr. Chris Day and this is what I came up with. He was very helpful in a personal injury case that involved my mother. He took his time to carefully review the case and offer all the help he could. He exceeded my expectations. It could not have been a better attorney for our family. Mr. Day is one of the best. You will not be disappointed by this attorney. I know I wasn't.

I was referred to Fisher Injury Lawyers by a friend. I was previously connected with a larger firm whom I felt was very distant, not personal, and attentive to my concerns. When I met Chris Day, he was very open and sensitive to my concerns. Chris is a very pleasant, knowledgeable, and respectful young man. I always felt he was very honest, sensitive, and responsive to my concerns. There were times I was not so pleasant to him but he remained patient and respectful to me. I really appreciate Fisher injury Lawyers for all that they do. I will always recommend them to others.

It is very difficult for me to write a review for Mr. Aub Ward in just a few sentences. My entire family was traumatized by my car accident. My entire family had to have additional TLC. I had to have multiple, serious surgeries. Aub did not just call to see how I was doing, he also came to see me in the hospital to check on me. My case lasted for a couple of years. Aub looked at the case like it was a brand new case every single day. Aub was so thorough, knowledgeable, and resourceful that I knew I had been put in the right hands. Aub put countless hours into my case. He consulted specialist all over the country to make sure that he was prepared for anything that the defense could possibly be brought up in my case. Aub went as far as to hire a consultant and several other lawyers for a retreat to see where they may be holes or cracks in my case so that he would be prepared for that. This retreat lasted the entire day. The lawyers involved in the retreat we're not only acting as lawyers to make sure that all the details and factual information in my case was correct, but the lawyers also looked at it from a juror's point of view. This retreat helped my case tremendously. There are not enough words that I can use to express how diligently Aub worked on my case. He never treated me as just another face or just another client. He looked at me as a traumatized victim that needed someone to truly help them. I could not have asked for a better lawyer than Aub Ward. When my husband and I had those first initial meetings with Aub; he did not sugarcoat any of the details of my case. Aub told me what he thought my case was worth and that was the amount that I received. Aub still contacts me to this day to check on me and to make sure that my family and I are doing OK. He is a diligent lawyer, but he also sees a face and a family with each case that he works. Aub is someone that I will stay in contact with for many, many years to come. I trust him, I just his loyalty, I trust his knowledge, and I trust that he will give every case what it takes to make sure that each client receives the best care possible. I am very certain that had I not used Aub in my case, I would not have been awarded the amount that I received. If you want someone that is going to work their fingers to the bone and to also give you the most attention possible, then Aub Ward is your man.

Was extremely worried and scared the entire time. I have two young children and really needed some help because my ex-husband hired a lawyer, left me with the kids and all these bills and I didnt know what to do. It felt really good when we left court and everything he told me was going to happen, happened. I would definitely recommend him if you are in need of a family lawyer. He was a pleasure to work with, and didnt make me feel uncomfortable like those other lawyers when i had to share intimate details about my family situation.

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.

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.
