These two are both amazing attorneys. I have referred them to family and friends and every time they make the person feel comfortable And really explain things. Such an asset to have and they really seem to care which is not a normal attorney trait! I would highly recommend them to anyone that is having troubles at some part of their life financially. They may not “just do a bankruptcy” they will do what is best for your specific situation. USE them for sure!

Stipp law firm is awesome. I was in a car accident in June. I did my research and decided to go with stipp law firm (I called maybe 15 lawyers). What made me decide to select stipp law, was when I called, they didn't want to talk about money. Every other lawyer I called hounded me about how much I could make, and there high percentage they would earn. Stipp law genuinely cared about my well being. They set up every thing for me, doctors appointments, mri's, consultations etc. Through the whole process they answered every question I had anytime I had it. They called and email me frequently to keep me updated. I never was put on hold when I called with questions. Every email I sent had a quick response. The insurance companies kept offering unfair payouts, but stipp law firm fought tooth and nail to get me what was fair. They are wonderful, honest, and hardworking. They did everything for me. Deffintly will use them again in the future

I have referred several clients to Attorney Krupa or personal injury and civil litigation matters. Every one of them has reported excellent service and results. Attorney Krupa is extremely intelligent and knowledgable about the current state of the law AND is an extremely tough negotiator with insurance carriers. She is personally vested in obtaining a positive outcome for her clients and she has a reputation for candid, accurate analysis of claims and their value. I highly recommend her services.

I have contacted John Sahar and he is reviewing my case. Very profession, understanding, and caring. Unlike other attorneys I have gone through for free evaluation, who does not listen to you or are very rude. I felt good after I spoke with John about my case and felt very positive. I would very highly recommend John Sahar. I give him 10 stars.

I would like to wholeheartedly recommend John Sahhar as the best choice for any case you might have concerning personal injury. I was very impressed by his professionalism and full knowledge of his field. He also has a great reputation, held by many others I have done business with that know him, as well as his colleagues and the opposing counsel. During the entire time from start to finish of my case I felt like he was very reassuring, and readily available for any questions or concerns I had. I believe him to be a very ethical, and personable man making him extremely easy to trust and feel comfortable working with in any situation.

I was in an injury issue where I got hurt, in short. It was not my fault, so I needed representation, and I went to a different lawyer. That was my biggest mistake. I then met Andrew and hist team. This was the best accidental meeting. I changed lawyers immediately, and found the difference to be staggering. Andrew remembered my name, everything I told him, all bills and everything were scanned in and in a neat file, it was like night and day (Andrew being a very sunny day) whereas my previous representation, well, it was dark. Anyhow, it was one of the easiest experiences ever. I followed direction, did what I needed to do, and my case was probably the simplest thing I have ever completed. I would recommend him to anyone, and have already recommend him to my cycle club for anyone that needs representation, and will continue to do so as long as he is practicing and I have breath in my lungs.

I've hired Andrew on 2 occasions. First, for a very basic review of an employment contract. Andrew was great and caught some very important things that I would have overlooked. Later, when I learned Andrew started focusing on personal injury, he helped me with a claim against a national retail chain. I was extremely impressed with his poise and professionalism throughout the process. The outcome was more than satisfactory and I've already referred several people to him.

I would recommend Zev to anyone needing great representation ! I got in an auto accident back in February and was unsure how to proceed. I was referred to Zev. He was very professional and communicative throughout the whole process and kept me updated. I felt very well taken care of. He met with me in person to finalize the case and I was very happy with the results.

I was in a car accident back in October and I retained Zev's services to help guide me through the process. I can tell you that having him manage your case and having him interface with all the parties involved from Insurance companies to Medical providers has saved me from some headaches. He gives very sound advice and I can tell all I had to do was get treatment. It was nice not having to deal with mountains of paperwork.

Lauren's services were beyond excellent! We couldn't be happier. Not only is she an ultra professional, knowledgeable, efficient and responsive attorney but she is also kind, considerate, thoughtful and patient. She made us feel at ease and made the whole process of filing adoption paperwork easy to follow and execute. She is trustworthy and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We highly recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, professional, experienced and caring adoption attorney. We felt like she took care of us as if we were family. She even had a personalized gift made for our son after the adoption was finalized! We're grateful for her top-notch services.

Danielle helped us with our new wills, setting up a new trust, medical directives, and powers of attorney. She even set up a pet trust so that our cat would be taken care of if something happened to both of us. From our first meeting she was courteous and professional, listening to our concerns and answering our questions. She walked us through all the information we would need to gather, and made everything as painless and easy as possible. I especially appreciated her flexibility and patience with our complicated work schedules. Highly recommended!

Agreed with the last one star rating. Started off talking about politics when nobody brought it up. Very bossy and Gruff. Not a smile or laugh. Made comments about my attire as to be judging me and putting me down. I'm disabled and it took every ounce of energy to get to his office. Sorry if I didn't have a suit and tie on. He could of told me over the phone he didn't want my case but seemed to want to see me in person to tell me no. Just a very cold feeling from him. Not someone you want when you are truly hurt by others. Grumpy. Time to retire buddy. You can't take your $ with you.

I found Mark quite inappropriate business wise, met him to go over possibly taking my case, he seemed quite scattered, but I figured he was out of his office setting so tried to continue with my issue. It was different, but ok until he walked me out, started talking politics & abortion, and quite strongly, told me if I voted for Trump, he would pray for me. I didn't say a thing about voting for Trump or politics or abortion! WEIRD for an attorney to go there when it had nothing to do with my potential case, it made me quite uncomfortable, like if I didn't agree with him, he wouldn't take me on. Continued to tell me he was a single father and his wife cheated on him twice. Ok?!?!? I'm in a very scary and tenuous situation in my home, due to conditions out of my control, as well as health issues. He tied me up for 2 weeks (I spent putting info together as he asked) then when I asked a simple "yes or no" question he said we weren't a match, no explanation or even a phone call (via text). I am old school and find that a bit cowardly, not to mention unprofessional! Back to square 1! Thanks for wasting my time! Probably for the best, I should have done my homework first, need a high-powered elder abuse firm, blessed I found them shortly after his "not a match text". I waited a day and a half, plus 2 texts from me for that! He may very well be a good litigator, I don't know, but as far as the humanity side with a new client and appropriate conversation, no thanks! I feel confident the 5 stars were slam dunk cases with lots of bucks. That is why they are called ambulance chasers, this was not my case, is it an elder abuse resulting in PI. I also asked him if he would write a letter if I paid him his hourly fee if he didn't take the case and he said he never charges for a letter but didn't even address that in his text. I'm all about integrity and keeping your word. Maybe time to retire Mark!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. 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.
