If I could leave zero stars I would. My date of accident was 7/28/18, the offices of Belushin law firm reached out to me to handle my case, came to my chiropractors office and everything to meet me. After completing therapy, I reached out to them multiple times over the course just to get an update and was told that they were still in the negotiation process with the insurance company and that they will be reaching a settlement soon. Fast forward to September 22, 2020 over 2 years later of going back and fourth with them, I receive a letter saying they’re not going to pursue and that I should seek another lawyer. OVER TWO YEARS LATER ??? Like what is the point now, after I sustained injury and left my case i their hands, I am left with now trying to find another lawyer and as per Belushin it would be best that it’s within 3 years of my accident. They have now only left me with a couple of months until I reach the limits of my accident. DISGUSTING AND UNPROFESSIONAL!! I do not recommend AT ALL. I’m so disheartened by this.

I have nothing but good things to say about this lawyer and his office. Another lawyer rejected my case so my friend who had a case with Belushin office before gave me his info. The old layer said my injuries werent serious even though I was in pain all the time. Belushin send me to shoulder specialist who was REALLY GOOD. I think he worked with some football teams and stuff before. The Doctor told me I need surgery as soon as possible. After surgery Mr. Belushin found me a physical therapy office 3 blocks from my house. It was a nice office where the people were nice and the doctors knew their stuff. Last week I got my money which was wayyyyyyyyy more than I thought it could be especially since I almost gave up when the other lawyer told me I didnt have a case. GOOD JOB BELUSHIN OFFICE!!!!!!

I hired Gary Kauget's office on a recommendation from my friend who is also an attorney. I am so glad I acted on this recommendation. Without going into details of my case, Gary and his son didn't just get me a great settlement, but they offered the emotional and practical support that was so important to me and my family. They really took their time to help me, I highly recommend this firm.

Stay far away from this man. His law office took my accident case on. I never heard anything from them in 3 months. I'd have to call them constantly to remind them to send faxes. Once he realized my case wouldn't make him enough money he sent me a generic letter Telling me that they had dropped my case, no explanation. WORST LAWYER, LAZY STAFF. STAY FAR AWAY.

Life is designed in such a way that sometimes we have to face unpleasant situations, solve issues that bring little joy or even worse- upset you. And in such cases, it is important to have a person nearby who will take responsibility for you, like a hero…And this person in my life situation was Richard. He is not just a professional, he is a very talented, smart person. He says little, but does everything he promised. I give him 100 stars out of 10 and thank him for his work!

Albert Khafif has been made the Co-Administrator by his brother-in-law, Jeff Cassuto, on an estate that he is now a benefactor of since the passing of his mother. This is an estate of a great aunt who died intestate...meaning she died leaving no Will. This has been in court for over 15 years. No one is contesting the Will...the estate was for millions of dollars and has been absorbed by greedy lawyers, state fees, and also mishandling of the entire estate.
After reading the review by the previous writer I am ashamed to say he is my cousin and disappointed in his lack of compassion for a client. He was raised with a silver spoon and lacks empathy.

This lawyer wasn't in our favor. My mom had an accident couple years ago. ( March 18, 2005) she was hit by an MTA bus driver in jamaica on Archer Ave. She was heading to work so she could put food on the table. This almost cost her life and left her with her lefted hand badly injured and since then she wasn't able to work. We took this lawyer in our case since we didn't know anything about law. First he failed to give my mom all her loss rages money( he gave her half of the money);because the money went to his name. Second we had to keep calling him and find out what happened with the case, he never gave any updates. The first time my mom went to court( in 2007), he sent somebody else( another lawyer) instead. The lawyer came over my mom and screamed at her ( You lost, you don't get anything). When we spoke to Kaffif about that, he request another appeal. That same day he didn't show any concern about my mom. As we were waiting for the judge to say his finals decisions, the lawyer came over 5 minutes before and said that he just spoke to the MTA bus lawyer and said that they will us 500,000 dollars instead. We didn't have time to say anything. When we got back to the court room. The judge said that we lost the case and therefore we won't get anything. when went to his office couple weeks after, he said that if we are not happy , social services is here for that, we can go and ask for help over there. He said that we have to give him 3,500 dollars to go to another appeal,which we did but we never heard anything from him since then. He said that he didn't get pay because we lost , so din'nt the doctors and therapists. The therapists used to call us because they didn't heard anything from the lawyer, but they stopped calling because they got paid. Which means he got the money from the case, but kept it to himself.We did call him, but didn't want to pick up the phone. Not only we didn;t get any money because an MTA bus driver hit my mom but he left her with thousand of hospitals bills. We never got a chance to see the bus driver. I know it is untrue not to be able to retrieve the driver when there is a specific time, location and date he works. when you know the bus number, When my mom had so many witnesses and one of them did call 911that day. They had everything on tape.
Because of everthing that happened my mom suffers from depression and we are not struggling to pay our rent.
This lawyer is heartless and doesn't care about how you will live tomorrow. He doesn't work head to head with his client.
We have tried to contact other lawyers after but they didn't want to take the case because it's been so long.
We are living one day at the time and never got our justice.

I highly do not recommend this crazy so called lawyer. She not only abused me my family but all of my witnesses. This so called lawyer Antonietta and the rest of the team ruined my divorce as a result I lost all of my assets and investments to defendant. Definitely terrible customer service and hysterical professionalism. I am also very unhappy with the losses I sustained to the crooked defendant and his crooked lawyer. If I ever (which I hope I don’t) need Monaco is the one I will call not. Thank you so much for cleaning my mom’s entire retirement account.

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.
