If I could I would rate 10+ stars. Mr.Kenan Obaid is a great criminal defense attorney. We weren't sure at first because we didn't know what to do. When I first spoke with him he sounded very confident and promising which helped reduce and relieve the stress. I also want to note that he answered everyone one of my calls & texts no matter the time. He is very experienced he knows the judges and prosecutors very well. It was Friday the 13th but it didn't feel like it. He got
the case dismissed and told us what we needed to do next. We're more than happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend anyone with any criminal charges to consult with Mr. Kenan Obaid his fees are very reasonable for the quality of his work. He's very personable and he smells great.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal representation provided by Peter Lorenz and Ray Asher. Their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to my workers' compensation case were truly exceptional. From the moment I reached out to them, I felt reassured and supported throughout the entire process. Peter and Ray fought tirelessly on my behalf, leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of justice. Thanks to their hard work and perseverance, we achieved a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. I am profoundly grateful for their professionalism, compassion, and relentless advocacy. I highly recommend Peter Lorenz and Ray Asher to anyone seeking top-notch legal representation. They are truly a remarkable team who will go above and beyond to ensure the best possible results for their clients. Thank you, Peter and Ray, for making a significant difference in my life!

After my dad passed away in April 2024, my mom and I filed for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) through the VA. Despite working with a VA liaison and following up for 10 months, we received no real updates—just that the claim was still pending. Then, my mom received a notice from the VA, which she mistakenly believed was a denial of the DIC claim. Unfortunately, even the local VA liaison misinterpreted it, causing a lot of confusion. Given that my dad’s passing was clearly linked to his disability, we realized we needed legal representation and turned to James Comerford.
From our first conversation, James took the time to listen, understand our situation, and guide us through the process. Initially, we thought we needed to file a rebuttal, but after investigating, he discovered the VA had actually misinformed us—the claim was still being processed. He assured us he would follow up, and shortly after, he called with the great news: the claim had been approved. Not only did he get us answers, but he also knew exactly when my mom would receive her benefits, including back pay.
When I asked James what we owed him, he refused payment—he was simply happy my mom received what she deserved. Even after I insisted, he suggested we make a donation to a charity instead, which we did. His generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients truly set him apart.
If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate attorney who will fight for you and keep you informed every step of the way, I highly recommend James Comerford. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s a good person who truly cares

As a former Chicago native I knew a local, professional and reputable legal team was going to be essential for me. Especially since I was out of state. David and Colette’s attentiveness, clear lines of communication often times within the hour were very helpful. They had insightful suggestions which cleared up any questions and concerns I had throughout the process. The legal team at Merel family law is worth the investment.

I was able to get the most amount of settlement per the type of case. I was also able to get compensation for my Bike as well. Hopefully I won't have any issue in the future with any more accidents but if I do I will definitely be giving them a call. Really great law firm and team!!!

"Exceptional Service and Outstanding Results – A Truly Life-Changing Experience with D&W Law Group!"
I can’t express enough how grateful I am to the team at D&W Law Group for their exceptional work in resolving my personal injury case. From the very first consultation to the final settlement, they were not just lawyers—they were advocates, partners, and a source of unwavering support throughout the entire process.
Their professionalism and expertise are unparalleled. They took the time to fully understand my situation, answered all my questions with patience and clarity, and provided clear guidance every step of the way. What really set D&W apart, though, was their commitment to my well-being. I always felt like they genuinely cared about me—not just the case—ensuring that I was not only compensated fairly but that I was treated with dignity and respect throughout the journey.
Their team worked tirelessly, fought hard, and ultimately secured a result far beyond what I had expected. I’m beyond satisfied with the outcome, and I am certain that I would not have achieved such a positive result without their expertise and dedication.
If you’re looking for a law firm that combines skill, compassion, and a relentless pursuit of justice, look no further than D&W Law Group. They are the best in the business, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you, D&W, for everything—you truly changed my life!

I was referred to TPMB and Sam Carl via a different firm while I was looking for a personal injury lawyer due to a serious cycling accident. If you have ever had the need to seek our representation you know how overwhelming the process can be and how difficult it is to know if you are making the right choice given the vast array of options at your disposal. Complex life altering injuries are scary enough, and if they involve negligence on the part of large well known corporations its even more intimidating. At the time TPMB was newly founded and little information about the firm existed, but after speaking with Sam and TPMB partners I felt reassured in my decision to retain them. He immediately jumped into action gathering time sensitive evidence and set realistic expectations every step of the way. His advice and recommendations over the course of 2 years were invaluable and ultimately played a big factor in being able to secure a favorable multi-party settlement prior to trial. Sam was always available and willing to answer questions or offer his professional point of view, even outside of traditional office hours if need be and his calm but diligent demeanor kept things moving with the minimal amount of stress. He was able to accomplish this with the uncertainty of Covid and disruptions to the legal system as a backdrop. I'd have no reservations recommending him or TPMB to those in a situation similar to mine.

I own and operate a professional meeting/convention planning Company. I send a lot business working work with four and five diamond hotels and resorts globally. As you can imagine, I have high expectations with servicing levels. The best analogy I can provide is that Sam is truly a five star, five diamond legal service provider. He is the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons of his profession. Sam and his legal support team not only anticipated, but exceeded my expectations handling my personal injury case in myriad of ways, including but limited to the following; accessibility, knowledge and skill set, listening skills, settlement accomplishments, and much more.

Sam is a very genuine person. 100% transparency. No cause of concern. 100% trustworthy. Always has client's best interest in mind. All options will be on the table and all the pros and cons, clearly stated. Final decision is mine and he will value it. There was a stage when I was keen to accept the offer made but he felt it was not a fair deal for the extent of injury suffered. I believed in him, rejected the initial offer and the final settlement was three times v/s the initial. I will definitely recommend Sam. With Best Wishes.

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.

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.
