I was lost, injured, scared and confused after my wreck. Bobby LeMoine and Constance Tidwell understood. They treated me like family, telling me to focus on my healing and they would handle the rest. I didn't have to worry about navigating the legal system. They checked in on my progress with genuine concern. Within a year of a life changing accident I was awarded a settlement far greater than any original offer that I had received. I am forever grateful for the compassion and knowledgeable attention they gave to me and my case.

Joel handled my case and even though it was a class action and there were multiple clients, I always felt like I was the only one. He was very accessible and even after the settlement, continued to respond to my emails with a phone call instead of an email. Thank you, Joel.

Mr. Sears is very knowledgeable about Special Education and what schools should be providing their students. As someone who is a well versed parent of a child with special needs, I felt that I was still not getting what my child needed in school. I struggled to get the school to understand and work with my child that I became so frustrated and my child was suffering daily. I contacted Mr. Sears for help to see if there was anything he can do. He helped me navigate the whole process beginning to end until everything my child needed was provided by the school. He continued to provide follow ups and updates from the school and did not stop until her needs were met. Mr. Sears answered all my questions quickly and helped me feel a sense of calm working through this process. It helped being removed and having someone there to advocate for my child and their needs. I HIGHLY recommend Shane Sears and his firm.

From the first initial consult call that led to a meeting with Derek, I felt like I had found an advocate for my case. I was dealing with another firm that brushed me off and didn't care about me (the client), and he was able to ease any concern to make the switch from them to him on that note as well as many other reasons. I, for the first time, had felt listened too, understood, and ready to move forward with complete confidence thanks to Derek!! He truly led me throughout my entire case with ease, professionalism, care, empathy, as well as always having a solution to what would be overwhelming obstacles at every turn to the normal person. He led my case to a successful outcome while providing such a detailed care for my overall wellbeing, and what I felt was right/fair as well. He definitely will be referred to all my friends and family, and anyone we connect with. Thank you, Derek, I truly cannot thank you for being the advocate that you are for your clients!!! I can guarantee, you will want Derek on your side! -A truly grateful and happy client

Danny Feldman's performance exceeded my expectations -- (which, by the way, were high). I hit a car that had pulled out in front of me at an intersection. My insurance company paid all the bills minus deductable and diminshed value of my car ($10,000 damage). BUT they said we could never win a suit to recoup my losses and compensate for minor injuries because the insurance company of the involved individual is recognized throughout the industry as very very difficult to deal with,
Mr. Feldman had been beyond helpful in a previous case, so I decided to reach out to him again. He didn't hesitate to get to work on my case right away. Throughout the process he kept me informed, answered all questions and perservered when others would have given up . Several times during the process, he correctly predicted the next outcome. Had I not followed his advice, my settlement would have much less.
Mr. Feldman did an outstanding job settling this case with not only the plaintiff's insurance company but also all the medical entities that claimed shares of the award.
Thank you, Mr. Feldman!

Unfortunately, I have had two car accidents in the past 8 years both of which I was not at fault. I contacted Mr. Feldman's office on my first accident claim and was so impressed that I used him again on my second accident claim. I enjoy working with Mr. Feldman. He is professional and personable. He read over my medical records, listened to my story and picked up details about how the accident had changed my life that even I was unaware of. He was able to communicate with me so that I understood the process and reasoning behind some of the decisions he made on my behalf. I liked that I could email any thoughts, questions or concerns I was having and Danny would normally answer the same day. Phone calls were also returned promptly. I was really impressed with his intuition during the negotiation phases. He always knew what to do, it was always the right the decision and it always worked for my benefit. The office staff are professional and helpful as well. Unsure if I will ever need his services again but I won't call anyone else. I highly recommend Mr. Feldman.

Jessica was like a good neighbor. I called her once, we consulted, agreed to work together and from then on, she was there! Lately it's being noised that SIZE MATTERS! As usual it doesn't. It just takes one person like Jessica Powers who knows her way around the body. Of evidence that is! She knows what she's doing.

FIGHT: exert oneself continuously, vigorously, or obtrusively to gain an end or engage in a crusade for a certain cause or person.
Jarred Welborn has got the FIGHT. In a State (like Alabama) where I thought there was no possible way for a man to gain custody of his son, Welborn made it happen! He asked all of the right questions, collected every bit of information possible, put pressure on the opposition when needed, felt my "pain", listened to what I had to say and won the case.
If you're in the middle of a family dispute, don't go anywhere else. Hire Jarred Welborn! I now consider him part of my family.

Jarred is a fighter! He listened to my every concern and fought ferociously in my corner, for my child. It felt good too have a consistent and stoic individual on my case facing my opponent and keeping my best interests in the forefront. It is obvious Jarred loves what he does, and with his wife on our team we were a force to be reckoned with. I am thankful for his services and will continue to use him now and in the future.

Attorney Martin is a phenomenal attorney, extremely receptive to my needs as individual and offered comprehensive services as I was in an automobile accident initiated by a careless driver. Unlike many other firms, Attorney Martin and his staff view their clients as individuals and tailor services to specific requirements aligned with individual needs.
Attorney and his staff answered all questions without delay. They were extremely efficient and made sure I received a fair settlement as soon as possible.
I found them to be thorough and very competent in handling my case. I would highly recommend anyone seeking legal advice/services to contact The Martin Law Firm, LLC.

Cameron won me a good settlement and he was always courteous, respectful, and professional. I have always had back problems & was hit while yielding on an interstate on ramp and was hit by a 16 yr old who was going about 30-40mph & texting about 3 weeks before the distracted driving law went into effect, and this dude never hit the brakes. I am almost certain he won my girlfriend at the time a good settlement as well. We separated before the case came to a disposition, but I referred him a few clients who he was straight up with about whether they had a legitimate case or not, and when they did, he took it and fought for them and as far as I know the case is still pending but I feel confident that they'll get good results with Cameron. He's very honest & upfront and you don't find that with many in his profession. He's almost brutally honest, but it's in his and the clients best interest if he thinks they don't have a case. The one I referred to him and he rejected ended up hiring another lawyer that kept him tied up where he couldn't work or do anything for 3 yrs, then lost the case. So, it took Cameron 5 min to essentially save him 3 years of waiting to find out Cameron was right. He thought Cameron just didn't want to take the case, but obviously in the end, Cameron was right and that's all that matters. His legal advice was 100% sound. I highly recommend him & he will be straight up with you & fight for you where it matters.

I was driving to one of my stores in North Alabama (in a company car) and out of nowhere was T-boned by another vehicle. The truck that hit me failed to yield to my right-of-way and said that he was waved through the intersection by an 18 wheeler. My car was hit on the driver's side door and spun around until I was in another lane and facing the opposite direction. The driver came to my window yelling that it wasn't his fault. I called 911, was cut out of my car, and was taken to Helen Keller Hospital, where I was seen by the ER doctor and transported to the UAB Trauma Unit. I had multiple tests, therapy sessions, and 5 surgeries over a year and a half or so to repair the soft tissue damage to my arm. During my first stay at the hospital I was contacted multiple times by an investigator--the driver that hit me was in a company vehicle and his company wanted me to make a statement about the accident. I was advised by a nurse that was checking my stats a couple of times when the investigator called to hire an attorney, and having never done so (and only living in Alabama for 3 months) I was anxious about what to do. I was given Ken Riley's name, contacted him, and felt very relieved for having done so. The phone calls from the investigator stopped after I directed him to contact my attorney, and I felt very safe and protected, as I was nervous about how to respond and how to protect myself. Ken worked patiently and supportively, always genuinely concerned about what I had been through and how I was healing, and guided me through dealing with Worker's Comp, depositions, and the mediations with both the driver that hit me and the truck that waved him through. I still have open medical, which is important, as I am still under medical care for nerve damage treatment. The most important part of the entire thing was knowing that I had someone in my corner, fighting for what was right, and allowing me to focus on getting well."

James (Jamie Moncus) III was the consummate professional, honest, compassionate and sensitive during a very painful and sensitive time in my life and the life of my family. He explained the process that we would go through in understandable terms. Both he and his excellent staff were available to us whenever we needed help or just reassurance, for example navigating the massive medical expenses and insurance bills. There was never a time when Jamie made any decisions regarding our case without first consulting us.

The attorney that you always wanted, but didn't think actually existed......that would be Cindy Webb. She has all the qualities that you'd want in an attorney, coupled with the qualities that make a good human being. She is very intelligent and very skilled in her field. She knows that the rules are not always made to protect the common person and will let you know this. But she also knows the difference between right and wrong, and she will fight for what is right, and with diligence to bring fairness to a bad situation. She will also give you the sense that you are the only client that she has. When she works for you, she will give you her all, and make sure that you understand everything that is and can be about your case. And she will not back down once the battle has begun. So don't be dismayed by the small frame and pretty face. She is a very powerful woman that can hold her own against anyone, in any situation. I would never have imagined that the results that she achieved would have been possible with an average attorney. But this is no average attorney. She is a fighter......with heart. She genuinely cares for her clients and their best interest.
If ever you need an attorney in any of the fields in which she practices, you will not find anyone better or more dedicated than Mrs. Webb. I highly recommend her for all of your legal needs.

I went to the firm where Ms. Webb works and I was very upset and stressed. I asked to see a lawyer and it ended up being Ms. Webb. I gave her all details of the situation I was in and She patiently listened to every word not once making me feel rushed. She began to ask me questions and by the end of our meeting I felt relieved and hopeful. G-d blessed me with the BEST person to take on my action. I was so pleased with the result I have kept her on to deal with some other issues and she KEEPS winning for me. She's full of integrity AND honesty ! If she thinks it's possible you're heading for a loss she will tell you and why. But she will fight all the way to the end no matter the result. I have dealt with quite a few lawyers in my past dealing with ex husband, custody issues and such. I WISH I had known her back then !

Alex has been representing me for some time in an ongoing litigation case. I am impressed with his representation in and out of the courtroom. My case was with a previous attorney that would have long since dropped the ball on my case and left me with huge financial loss. I switched attorney's to Alex and he has been running the case through the many legal channels with great sucess. I have already referred Alex to numerous other clients each whom have also reported what an outstanding attorney he is. Thought it would help others for me to make this post of high recommendation that would share with you my continued satisfaction with Alex as my attorney. When someone has been harmed as the result of another individual Alex is a great legal advocate. I am very pleased with his legal representation.

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?
