ABSOLUTELY HIRE THIS LAWYER and THIS FIRM
Andy O’Hara, a litigation lawyer at DeMayo Law, represented me when I had a serious injury. I called other lawyers, but I chose Andy because he talked to me on a personal basis rather than treating me like a “case” to handle. Andy asked me many questions, and then he LISTENED to me…not many lawyers actually do that. He acknowledged what I said to him, advised me about the process and some hurdles we would face, and actively assisted me through my healing process. When it came time to file the insurance claim, he helped me set reasonable expectations for the process and timelines. We filed a lawsuit to get the insurance company to treat my claim seriously. Andy did a great job of preparing me for the various stages of litigation. Ultimately, when we had an opportunity to have serious negotiations about settling the case, Andy made a compelling presentation of my injury, the pain I suffered through, and the physical, mental, and emotional experience that affected me in so many ways. Andy put all of that into words that expressed what I was feeling. In negotiations, we set a value that I would accept, and he stood his ground with the defense counsel until the insurance company finally paid what we demanded. In every step, Andy communicated with me, consulted with me, and made me confident that he was working to get the best result for me. I will reach out to Andy if I ever need a personal injury lawyer again and recommend him without hesitation to anyone who does!!

Thanks for Metz Law Firm and Attorney Keith Metz. Had a simple ticket that was reduced to lesser charge. Process was painless and easy. Most importantly, Keith answered all of my communication quickly and was knowledgeable during the whole process. It is really appreciated that he responded quickly and took the time to make sure I understood everything. Hopefully will not need his services but if I ever do need an attorney in the future I will definitely contact the Metz Law Firm.

On March 12, 2021, a lady ran a red light when the car beside her turned right on red. She was on her phone. I was going through a green light. Needless to say, we crashed in the middle of the intersection. After hitting the front of my car, the impact caused her to spin around and hit my driver's door. That turned my car into a commercial sized van which caused me to t-bone him. Then, the van spun around and hit my passenger's door pushing my car across seven lanes of traffic. This accident totaled my Lexus convertible which was in mint condition. Cars like that with no accidents and low mileage are very difficult to find. I mention that to say, you can get another car. However, you cannot get a new spine. This accident herniated C-4 to C-5 and further damaged C-5 to C-6, also damaged C-7 to C-8. My life came to a screeching halt! Initially, I couldn't move either of my arms. The policeman at the scene had to tell me what happened because I only remembered the van and didn't know what caused the accident. I was going through a green light! On April 12, 2021,
I had neck surgery replacing C-4 to C-6 with two plastic discs, six screws and a plate in my neck.
I am saying all of this to let you know that I have been in five other accidents and never had to have surgery or miss work! After hiring two other law firms which were no help, I was referred to CRLegal Team. They believed in me and worked hard for very little money! One would think that since she ran a red light, this would be a no brainer! No, her insurance company saw me as damaged! How could I prove exactly what this accident caused!?! There weren't any MRIs before this accident, only after! I didn't do anything wrong! I was in the wrong place at the wrong time! The policeman told me that I was the fourth person in an accident at that location. However, I am the first person to survive! I am here for a reason!
CRLegal Team has been a huge blessing! So, anyone out there who has been in an accident and wants honesty, integrity, and a strong work ethic, just skip all small firms and others who are headquartered in other states. They want to make a fast 33% and put forth no effort! It bothers me that those other law firms each received a portion of CRLegal Team's fee! They did almost nothing! Thanks to CRLegal Team my medical bills were reduced 75% and I received a check on Christmas Eve. I am grateful for their hard work and highly recommend using them! Don't hesitate, just call now, you won't regret it!
Thank you so much!

I would just like to say that being this was my first time needing legal representation, I am so glad that I chose CR Legal team. I was hit by a tractor trailer and needed help on navigating how to proceed. They have helped me tremendously and they were always available and willing to answer any questions that I may have had. My attorney Marty was nothing short of amazing and kept in contact and helped me understand a lot of the process and how things would work out. The case managers that I worked with were great. Thank you CR Legal Team!

After I got rear ended at the beginning of my final year of Nursing School, I reached out to Auger and Auger. I was actually referred by another client of theirs who assured me they would help me. My schedule was already so busy, I was stressed about doctors visits, hospital bills ect... Well fortunately for me they handled everything from finding me a doctor for my injuries, my bills from the emergency room and all contact with the insurance agency. Actually the first time I even had to come to theIr office was when the settlement was released. I can’t thank them enough, I can’t image how I would have made it through such a hard time without their assistance. I highly recommend!

Amanda was there for me every step of the way when I had to be a witness in court. She checked in on me, and praised me for my strength. I felt validated with her, and didn’t ever have to question if she believed me or not. Extremely professional and willing to fight for me. It was a very scary time for me, but she made me have confidence and made me keep fighting for what was right. Still to this day if I have a quick question, she makes herself available as soon as she can. If I could give her more stars I would. Knows her way around the Legal system. I am very thankful I was referred to her and will absolutely use her again if I ever need to. I wish she was an expert in all areas of law, because I would probably use her for anything legal related. However, she is able to refer you to someone if necessary. It’s nice to have someone actually listen. Thank you so much, Amanda!! I will forever be grateful for you.

I just want to say that Chris Shumate helped me so much with my first speeding ticket. From the moment we spoke about my case , he addressed all of my concerns and made me feel at ease about everything. Shumate assured me that we could get it all taken care of and the outcome would be in my favor. He is super affordable and should be paid even more for the time it took to resolve my case. I would recommend him to anyone! I’m not over exaggerating so if you need someone he’s the man for the job!

Christian Gerencir is an attorney that will stand by and educate you on your options when you find yourself drowning with life’s uncommon problems. He was able to research solutions to my issues, present me with my options, and coach me through the implementation of the right potential solution for me. My family had many complex questions that Mr. Gerencir was able to quickly answer with professionalism far beyond his years. Our issues were primarily focused on a civil personal injuries claim and further he consulted on protecting assets in North Carolina. If I ever have a personal injury, auto accident, or workers comp case I know I will be in the best of hands with Mr. Gerencir as my attorney.

During my consultation, Christian provided me with all of the necessary legal information whenever I required it. He was able to understand my situation from more than just the perspective of a lawyer by giving me a sense of empathy as well as being impartial to the situation as a whole, which allowed him to properly assess what legal advice would help me best. Christian is an outstanding lawyer and I highly suggest if you need legal advice that you contact him immediately.

I've worked with Brian for approxiametly 10 years. I owned a real estate brokerage firm at the time and did most of my closings with Brian. I also did real estate flips and worked with investors, banks, the courthouse, etc. Brian has a wealth of real estate knowledge and was easy to contact to get advice, documentation, etc. I've referred Brian to several builders and realtors and they all let me know how much help he was.
In the last couple years I hired Brian to help litigate a lease / purchase conflict that went to trial. Brian provided great support for this case which was eventually dismissed. He could not act as the lead attorney given our relationship, but his research and input greatly helped.
Even though Brian has a Duke education and often litigates for national banks, he is very approachable and easy to talk to. His focus is not on counting the minutes he can charge, or in any way self serving. Brian will listen and will talk through key issues I need to understand.
I highly recommend Brian and his firm. If you want a down to earth, intelligent, creative advocate, then it will be worth your time to talk to him first.

After receiving a ticket (that I did not agree with) while visiting family in North Carolina I sought out to find the best lawyer I could while also paying a reasonable price. I then came across Anderson and Hart Law. I contacted Christine who was very honest and straight forward but mentioned that she would help me fight this case no matter what. In the end she was able to get my ticket dismissed and save me from receiving points on my license.

The Downer, Walters and Mitchener team has represented me in two separate automobile accidents and both times I was taken care of with the highest level of professionalism. Andrew Downer represented me most recently and I was very satisfied with the level of service, attentiveness, professionalism and speed of the case resolution. I was never in doubt of the progress of my case or what to expect as Andrew was able to provide experienced insight into the process and steps involved towards resolving my case.

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.
