While on vacation in Boston, I was falsely accused of a serious crime, arrested, and faced with felony charges.
After spending the night in jail, I was assigned a public defender who was entirely unfamiliar with my case. Unfortunately, not only was this public defender incompetent, but he also lacked the appropriate credentials to handle a case of such seriousness.
I was facing a minimum of five years in prison, and my bail was set at $60,000. The public defender made no effort to fight for me. He didn't attempt to have my bail reduced or identify any weaknesses in the case against me. Instead, he simply agreed with the prosecutor and judge, and I was sent back to jail.
After three nights in jail, my family informed me that they had hired a criminal defense attorney named Paul Moraski, who would be visiting me in a couple of days.
True to their word, Paul arrived at the jail two days later. I was escorted by a correctional officer to meet him. From the moment we met, I knew Paul was the right lawyer for me. He had an incredible personality, was highly educated and knowledgeable, and held himself to a very high standard. For the first time, I felt hopeful again.
The first thing Paul said to me was, "We’re going to beat this case." He then assured me, "I am going to get your bail reduced from $60,000 to $30,000 so you can go home." Paul not only understood my case thoroughly but also knew the courtroom inside and out, thanks to his 14+ years of experience.
Two days later, I had another court appearance, and Paul was outstanding. He successfully persuaded the judge to lower my bail from $60,000 to $30,000, allowing my family to secure my release.
The night I was bailed out, Paul immediately called to congratulate me on going home. He reassured me once again, saying, "There are numerous holes in your case, and you have nothing to worry about."
Despite Paul's reassurances, I remained anxious about my case after returning home and would call him weekly. Each time, Paul answered the phone, and if he was in court, he would return my call immediately afterward.
Paul is an exceptional attorney, though not inexpensive. However, he provided me with a very reasonable rate given the severity of my case. He also offered me a monthly payment plan, which greatly eased the financial burden.
When it comes to fighting for your freedom, no price is too high. Paul Moraski was worth every dollar.
Six months later, just as Paul had predicted from the start, my case was completely dismissed.
If you find yourself facing legal issues in the Boston area, I highly recommend contacting and hiring Paul Moraski. He is not only an outstanding defense attorney but also a remarkable person. I feel like I not only hired a lawyer but also gained a friend.
Thank you for everything, Paul.

On a construction site in Massachusetts, I was injured 5 years ago due to obvious contractor's negligence of implementing full protection and safety measures.
Doctors recommended rest and provided short term medication, that were adequate for coverage by the insurance. Knee pains remained and resulted in knee procedure first, and several months after in a bone spur surgery to one leg.
Colleagues and staff of my client-owner of the project, seeing my physical deterioration and knowing the facts of the accident from me, advised that I need to consult with an attorney.
I did indeed consult with Attorney Whitman and worked the details of my case with Attorney Dan Munnelly. They agreed to take on my case after our first meeting.
The case took 3 years of litigation that ended fairly by a mediation. Attorneys Whitman and Munnelly, researched profoundly the case and documented all details from our conversation and particularly from their own research.
Always responsive, my attorneys Steve and Dan, were excellent communicators with me, always digging deeper and deeper, then consulted with other attorneys to build up a strong case.
I am grateful for their attention and great work.
I strongly recommend them to others.

The Law Office of Steven Whitman in Boston represented me in a personal injury liability case that was successfully resolved this month. Steven Whitman is a very competent lawyer, works diligently on behalf of his clients and has a high degree of integrity. I really appreciated his personalized service (he arranged to visit me at home when I was immobile due to my injury), excellent ongoing communication and how accessible he was for any questions we had taking the time to explain the legal process and steps along the way toward a successful outcome. Steven Whitman is one of the top personal injury lawyers in Boston and I would highly recommend him.

Marc was there for my family in the darkest time in our life. Tragedy struck our family suddenly after a minor hospital procedure ended in the loss of my husband's life. Marc came highly recommended by a colleague and now I know why. From the very beginning the advice he gave me was instrumental in the successful outcome. His knowledge and experience was clear to me through the whole process. He took the time to see the picture of our family before our loss and after. A life like my husbands can never be replaced ...thank you Marc Breakstone for being the fighter our family needed!

Marc Breakstone provided more comfort and a peace of mind than I could have ever imagined. A little over a year ago, I was in a very serious taxi accident as a passenger- and almost 5 months pregnant. I was petrified for the health of my baby. I was completely overwhelmed with having to undergo a spinal fusion because my back was broken over several L sections. And I had an 11 month old at home that I could no longer take care of on my own. We had literally just bought a house 5 months before, and that accident literally caused my family's world to crumble. And if you are in a similar boat, you can relate- I have never felt so helpless and depressed, I needed to find a lawyer ASAP that I could trust with the well being and future security of my family. I was literally boggled of where to begin, as I have never been involved in a law suit before. And insurance contracts/ lingo/ etc was just so foreign to me. I found 4 lawyers total that I read reviews on from the internet OR was recommended by family friends. I found Marc on some Google search- and that made me a tad nervous because I am a little more "old school" than that. However, I called his office and after speaking to him directly ( which was literally about 5 min after I called, he returned my message )....I instantly felt at ease with him. There is something about his personality that is very direct, yet patient with explaining options/ the law/ advice. Marc was also willing to talk to my husband and a family friend who has legal background from another state trying to help me. So, I conservatively met with him and 3 other lawyers in person, and Marc was the only one I felt was both "down to earth" and at the same time extremely aggressive/passionate when it came to ensuring that my claim was heard properly by the parties concerned. We chose Marc to represent me, and I am SO HAPPY we did. Let me tell you this- If you want somebody that is approachable- choose Marc. If you want someone who will fight for you like he has known you for your whole life, choose Marc. And if you understand that you need someone who is that bit aggressive/confident in making his point, on your behalf, choose Marc. My husband felt that Marc would be a "lion in the ring " for us. Also, I want to add that I live in NYC...I was hit in MA during a weekend away. So I was nervous having the distance away from someone who is representing me. If by chance that is you- dont worry about it. Marc is literally so accessible. I also dont feel like I could write this review without mentioning- Christine Roberts. Marc's executive assistant is a rock star. She reflects his standards of extreme professionalism with a streak of warmth. I could keep writing about all the positive experiences I had along the way with Marc, but I will sum it up this way. A very hormonal pregnant woman, with a baby at home, was hit by a taxi and had to undergo a 7 hour spinal fusion surgery, learn how to walk again, and deal with the pain of the accident/surgery thoughout her pregnancy while accepting the fact she could no longer lift her one year old at home, bathe him, clean up after him etc. ** I am writing this review about one year from the accident and post settlement. I am still so incredibly emotional about that night and everything that happened....But I am still a bit proud that during this complete disaster and at times, what I honestly thought was depression and a breakdown mentally, I was still able to see that Marc would fight for me. And he did. And he will for you. He is just so passionate about his job...and you will come to see glimpses of his personal life that you know this is just a good guy. I look at my daughter now and I thank god for my neuro team, my OB team, and my lawyer. While my doctors really provided such wonderful physical care...Marc was really there as a rock- I let put all my anxiety on his shoulders and he delivered back a secure future. He will forever be part of our family story now.

I hired Marc after another lawyer wasn't really spending the time or attention to my case that I felt comfortable with. When I spoke to Marc the very first time on the phone, I thought, "This guy is tough and attentive!" From our first conversation until the successful outcome of my mediations and settlement, I could not have asked for better, more thorough, and tough representation. I read a review on this very site and that lead me to Marc Breakstone. The positive things people say are right on the money. He told me to focus on my healing and health and leave the lawyering to him. I needed that assurance because I had 5 surgeries in just over a year, and was dealing with disability for the first time and I was in an enormous amount of pain. His strength allowed me to let it go and focus on my health. The case was settled in mediation and it was a very positive outcome. Thank you Marc, Christine Roberts and Reza Breakstone. I am forever grateful for your hard work, expertise and dedication. I would recommend you to anyone that needed representation after an injury and facing big insurance. You gave a voice and a face to my case and you made them look at the facts. Grateful.

I sought out the legal council of Ronald E. Gluck after being injured by a motor vehicle while riding my bike. What I found invaluable was Mr. Gluck's commitment to my physical recovery, health and well-being as well as his outstanding legal advice reflecting his breadth of knowledge and experience of the legal system. In the end, Mr Gluck successfully negotiated on my behalf to reach a fair settlement; therefore, I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.

I broke my ankle in December of 2013 eleven months after having knee replacement surgery. It was, fortunately, the other leg, but it was a bad break, in 2 areas, requiring surgery, hospitalization and a long recovery (14 weeks non weight bearing). It was awful, but the shining light in the whole ordeal was my lawyer, Ron Gluck who took care of everything from start to finish. It was clearly a case where the fault was the restaurant's where I had fallen. Ron negotiated with their insurance company on my behalf and I believe got the very best settlement for me without ever losing or compromising his integrity or mine. I felt like I was in excellent hands from the very beginning of the ordeal. It never went to court as Ron was determined to have the right thing happen in a timely way and not have this dragged out forever with me waiting for the monies he believed I should receive. I knew I was with a quality law firm...he had been recommended by more than one person and I am very glad I never looked any further.
This is not something anyone wants to have happen, but when it does, it is a great feeling to know that there are lawyers you can trust to behave in admirable ways and to work to get deserved compensation.

I highly recommend Austin, he is a solid and experienced attorney in bringing a criminal defense case to speedy resolution.

I worked with Attorney Neil Burns on two cases. Attorney Burns has the highest ethical and professional standards, he works well with clients, and his approach with insurance companies and opposing attorneys has proved very effective. He carefully approaches each and every step in the case so the client will be in the best position to recover for pain and suffering and lost wages. I would recommend that victims of personal injury and car accidents contact Attorney Burns.

They followed up with me after every doctor's appointment I had to make sure the services were adequate. This group of people are great and truly cares about their work and the needs of every client.

I was recently injured in an auto accident and looked thoroughly for a good, reliable attorneys office. I spoke with several of my colleagues and they all mention Joseph Schwartz firm. I immediately hired them to represent me. Their entire staff are very friendly! But Attorney Megan Burak, stood out. She took the lead and helped me through my case. Mrs. Burak provided me with outstanding services and helped closed my case in a timely manner. I highly recommend hiring Joseph Schwartz law firm and look for Megan. If she is for some reason not available, ask for Matt or Lily. All of them are awesome!

We had very positive experience working with Megan as our Personal Injury Lawer. Accidents are stressful to begin with and dealing with Insurance company yourself in that situation is more painful. Working with Megan, we could just focus on the treatment therapy and forget about all other hassels. The whole process was very smooth and the end result was very satisfying. Thank you Megan again for all your help!

My 61 yr old mom was hit by a car almost 20 years ago and we contacted Stephen Guillette. Stephen was always very caring, personable all while dealing with her case. Almost 20 years later, she is hit again. We hadnt spoken to him over the years but once decided to contact an attorney, she immediately said to call Stephen. He remembered who she was right away, visited her in rehab the same day I spoke to him. He is always careful to ensure the process is understood in terms she understands. We couldn't ask for anything more! He will always be our go to Attorney.

Michael Kantrovitz and the entire Kantrovitz & Kantrovitz firm consistently and successfuly helped us navigate through our complicated workers comp case. At every single step were met with compassion, knowledge and professional perseverance. Our case took 2 years, nine months to complete and during that time every single phone call, e-mail, correspondence, and question were quickly and expertly responded to. The court hearings were handled flawlessly.
My husbands injuries are complicated and intricate. Michael Kantrovitz systematically and with great skill, worked to protect our family from the workers comp system in this state. We will be forever grateful to Michael and the Kantrovitz & Kantrovitz firm.

First time encountering with Attorney Michael Kantrovitz at his law-office was his calmness and professionalism. Michael went far-and-beyond to help me with my situation. He checked-up on me, see how my I am doing and every telephone call I had with Michael he explains to me what and how the case was going. Never once I felt ignored, pushed aside and he never gave me any BS. Michael was straight to the point and honest gentleman. I wish more lawyers were like him.
While Attorney Michael Kantrovitz help me with my case, in the beginning I was worried and nervous. A corporation stepping all over the little people. Attorney Michael Kantrovitz WON the case for me and slam dunk it! I cannot say "THANK YOU" enough for helping me.

Eric was referred to me in November 2013, and I am very thankful for the recommendation. Eric achieved a result where it seemed no result would be possible. It took 8 years of patience, grind and frustration but the result finally came. Distance proved to be no barrier (other than the time change between East Coast and Australia).
Over that 8 years there were long periods when nothing happened, but when it did, Eric kept me up-to-date and informed. My sincerest thanks for the time and effort you put in on my behalf Eric.

On two occasions, Counselor Finamore "saved my chestnuts" from the fire. Both times all he did was to make a phone call - just a phone call. But it was to the right person at the right time.
On one occasion, I sent Mr. Finamore a retainer check. He located important information which he conveyed to me quickly and efficiently.
Then . . . GET THIS . . . he returned my retainer! He helped me greatly and charged me not a farthing. INTEGRITY. Something missing in parts of America today. It is so refreshing to find a lawyer with great integrity who performs as he is asked.
My recommendation: 100%.
As they say in Maine, "Finest Kind".

Choosing an attorney can be daunting, however, after selecting Attorney Finamore and witnessing his compassion and perseverance, we did not regret our decision. He was up front from the start about informing us of the lengthy judicial process and parts of the case that would be difficult. He is well versed in the legal system and thought outside the box, which resulted in us receiving compensation from a difficult and unusual case. He was very supportive and went the extra mile until the very end.

Jason Stone Injury Lawyers is a great law firm to get you the best care and they do their ultimate best to get you fairly compensated for your body injury.

Attorney DiCenso is a very smart, educated, professional
Person. He kept me well informed of everything that was
Going on with my case. He was definitely there for me
the entire time of my case. When the other party
denied me from hospital proceedures,he made sure I was seen.
I transferred to attorney DiCenso because the lawyer I had prior simply did not care. I never knew what was going on. I never talked to him, he never returned
My calls. So bottom line, Attorney DiCenso is the best I have come accross
Because he cares and you can see he gives 100% all the time.

Michael provided me with incredible legal representation for an accident that left me with life altering injuries. He came to my rescue from the very beginning. Through every aspect of the legal process Michael explained and assisted me with incredible detail and patience. He provided me with incredible personal service and guidance throughout the process. Michael was there by my side through the discovery, the depositions and the final outcome before the judge. I have never been involved in any type of lawsuit prior to this and the thought of it was overwhelming. Michael immediately put me at ease and educated me on the process. This is not just a top notch attorney he is also is a caring and personal people oriented individual. Michael's guidance resulted in an extremely favorable result for me. He will fight for you, he will listen and he will deliver in a very realistic and professional manner.

Michael was a pleasure to work with. Many times you will run in to people who are very vague, non-responsive, and only communicate with you regarding decisions that are of interest to them. Michael was none of those things. He made sure to contact me every step of the way and explain every term and issue to me in its entirety. My family and I knew almost nothing about the legal process involved with a personal injury case and Michael could not have been any more helpful. I really appreciated all of his effort and I gladly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a personal injury lawyer.

My husband hired Carolyn Latti for a serious injury that he sustained while working on a commercial fishing vessel. She was awesome! Her communication was great. She explained every step on the way. And best of all, she was successful in getting my husband the compensation that he deserved! She fought for him, and for this we will forever be grateful to her. Aside from all of this, she is just an absolute joy to work with. We miss her, and still check on her from time to time. She became not only our attorney, but our friend. If you are on the fence with hiring her, do not wait another second. The insurance companies will NOT give you what you deserve. She will get the job done, and is more than fair with her fee for the hard work that she puts in. Thanks a million times, Carolyn!

His deep understanding of the legal matters and encyclopedic knowledge of law combined with ability to clear and convincingly present issues at the hart of the case are the qualities you find only in the most experienced and brilliant lawyers.

Attorney Light represented me on two occassions. I found him to be informative, knowledgeable and professional. Although I felt somewhat intimidated on our first meeting, the more I got to know him, the more I realized that he was looking out for my best interest.
One of my cases involved my teenage son and Mr, Light would make it a point to ask aout him. Mr. Light is the utmost professional but he is also a family man and he cared about my family and did everything in his power to assist me. I was pleased with the outcome of both cases and would highly recommend him. He was very genuine and always had my best interest at heart. I continue to keep in touch with him.

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.
