I hired Mr. Louis to represent my daughter for her car accident in June 2017. He has been a hands on attorney that kept me and my daughter with updates on her case from day one. He got us the best settlement that pertained to my daughters injuries and we are very satisfied with the service that him and his team provided us. I would recommend Mr. Mario Louis to all my family and friends.

Leighton Law represented me during a Medical Malpractice issue. The dynamics of the case were complicated and compounded by an extensive hospitalization however, Mr. Leighton and his firm were able to sort through a plethora of records- some incomplete- in order to establish culpability.

John Leighton fought long and hard for our case. He didn't just settle for the quick buck . He was in it for the long haul and never gave up the fight. When obstacles appeared John came up with solutions that helped our case. He fought hard at the trial and through the appeals to get us the best possible outcome after five years. We would highly recommend John Leighton for any personal injury case. He is a very caring lawyer that goes the extra mile for the client.

I contacted Hernando after he was recommended to me by my real-estate attorney. He consistently took the extra time to answer all my questions, returned phone calls promptly, and finalized my case with a successful outcome. He was always willing to take care of additional details such as securing my damaged property and hiring an expert for evaluation. Working with Hernando was not only professional, I felt as though I was working with a long time friend. If I ever find myself in need of a personal injury lawyer, I would seek his council without question.

Rob very successfully represented our family (our son) in a medical malpractice case involving a birth injury where our son suffered brachial plexus at birth. From the very first conversation I had with Rob he was upfront and honest about how difficult cases like ours can be but he was also very reassuring and confident that he could and would get us the justice we deserved. Through the entire process Rob and his firm were truly superior in their handling of our case. I always felt like I was informed and kept up to date on what was going on with the case and if ever I had questions or concerns I could call or email at anytime and always received a prompt response. Rob would take time (at all hours) to call me personally and answer any of my questions and was very reassuring in guiding me through the whole process of the case. Going through the legal process can be daunting and very emotional. With Rob I always felt like he was truly concerned of our understanding of the complex process but more importantly he wanted to make sure we were feeling comfortable and secure with all that was going on. For families suffering through something unexpected like a life altering birth injury it's important to have someone like Rob who can balance being the aggressive lawyer that you want on your case, but who can also identify with, and be empathetic to their client's needs. Although taking on our case and getting a successful outcome was Rob's goal, I never felt like it was just a job for him. Rob truly has a passion and an amazing talent for law. His commitment to his clients is truly unwavering and we are forever grateful for the dedication and care that he put into our son's case. Without a doubt it is because of Rob that our son will have opportunities in life he may not have had and will have the resources he needs to make his disablility less of a hindrance for him.

Robert Boyers was recommended to me to handle my slip and fall case. I will be forever grateful to Robert for allowing me to feel that I was in the ‘best possible hands’ throughout the 2+ year process through and including the settlement of the case. Robert’s expertise, professionalism, and compassion were beyond what I observed in the legal field. And, his associate and staff were a fine reflection of Robert’s guidance. Robert was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. A unique and very valuable characteristic Robert displayed was realizing almost intuitively when I wasn’t quite sure I understood an issue when he explained something to me. Picking up on my doubt, he would elaborate his answer until he felt I was at peace. As busy a person as I am at work, I value this trait in Robert and I hope he knows he possesses the ability to bring peace of mind to his clients. The outcome of the case was totally pleasing to me – the result of Robert’s and his staff’s constant concern for their client’s well-being, their professionalism, skill and respect for the profession itself.

I have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Cieza in several litigation matters, and found him to be extremely competent and dedicated to his clients. Importantly, Mr. Cieza distinguishes himself from other attorneys by the degree of his personal investment in his clients' positions. In a legal battle, you want someone like Mr. Cieza by your side.

For the most part, unfortunately when you need an attorney it's because you need help with a difficult situation. That's what I received from Francisco Cieza, help. I found myself in a scary situation where I was taken advantage of and I didn't know what to do. I had never been in trouble or been in a situation where I needed a lawyer, but here I was! Francisco quickly defused my anxiety by giving me the facts of my case. This was going to be a process. I had questions, he had answers. I was nervous, he calmed me down. I never waited too long for a response whether it was a reply to an email or a phone call that he missed due to helping another client. He always followed up in a timely manner and was professional while being sympathetic to my situation. Needless to say I was very happy with the outcome of my case. I hope to never have the need for a lawyer again, but if I do I will definitely contact Francisco again! If you need an attorney I would strongly recommend his services.

Mark Weinstein was referred to me by a lawyer at Turnberry Associates, with whom he had worked. She was very impressed with him, with good reason, given the stories I'd heard about other lawyers in his field.
Mark succeeded in allaying all my fears regarding the litigation process - I was hesitant and fearful of taking any sort of action. Mine was a very complicated case, and Mark kept me apprised of developments and advised me accordingly. I was most impressed with Mark's honesty and grew to trust him completely to get the best outcome for me. As I got to know him better, I found him to be a caring, honorable and trustworthy person, and one does not encounter this often anywhere, let alone in his field. He diligently pursued all avenues to effect a positive outcome in a case where the opposing lawyers pulled every dirty trick in the book.
I would highly recommend Mark Weinstein to anyone seeking the representation of a diligent and honest lawyer specializing in personal injury

It was our great fortune that Mark Weinstein came into our life. Looking back on our situation, and having had the time to consider circumstances and events that presented a dire need for his unequivical competence at what he does it had to have been fate as well. When you need someone who is thoughtful, considerate of your situation and ready to give you all there is to really resolve what you need stop right here. He did all he could and more, he never gave us cause to question his judgement. In the end the legal justice we did achieve the legal justice we so badly wanted. We are quite certain there are less than a handful of attorneys in the U.S.A that could have achieved for us what Mr. Weinstein did . We are eternally grateful for the inner peace he has given us and he did it with as much compassion as competence.

Mr. Weinstein led us through the legal consequences of the unnecessary loss of our 23- year -old daughter from medical malpractice. 5 different doctors , many nurses and the hospital were responsible for letting her die. After 3 years of unbelieveable preparation and presentations by Mr. Weinstein, we were victorious on all counts.
We had the choice of being invoved in the process as our emotions would allow. He was respectful of our feelings and we could not have endured the process with out the human touch we recieved during the darkess time of our lives.
You often hear about the monies that attorneys make in these cases. He deserverd and earned every dime he was paid. God Bless Mark and his family!

Attorney Russell Dohan just handled a tragic accident involving one of our family members. It was resolved quickly and the firm was so easy to work with. It was the best case scenario. If you are looking for a personal injury firm and want to feel like you are getting personal service vs being just a case number (among the big firms) this is a great firm.

Through my years I have dealt with several different attorneys. Russell Dohan is the professional attorney that I have ever dealt with. Russell reasearched all aspects of my case, he kept me well informed about everything going on. Both in the court room and out he is very professional, curtious, respectful, etc. I can not say enough good about him, so if you are looking for an attorney that will work with you on your case then he is your man. If not for his dillegence on my case I would not have ended up with the settlement that I received, which I am very happy with.
As far as I am concerned you can not get any better attorney for personal injury then Russell Dohan and his staff.

She was in her hospital bed with tubes coming out from everywhere, but every afternoon that week I had to leave my wife for a couple of hours. I had appointments to interview attorneys about the death of our daughter. Everyone knew about the accident-it was in all the papers and on tv- so I had no trouble getting time with attorneys including the then president of the County Bar association, white shoe firms, and Stuart. In the end we chose Stuart Grossman not only because of his sincerity and empathy, but the way he answered our questions. We were not interested in a fast settlement. We wanted justice for our family wherever that journey would take us, and Stuart always took guidance from us on such issues. One can never be sure when making such momentous decisions, but unless the client knows something about wrongful death cases, sometimes you just have to go with your gut. Everyone was right about Stuart and he quickly became a friend of the family. We talked on many occasions about how the case was developing and when it came time for the five-day trial, he and his associate Andy Yaffa came to the house. They wanted to see our daughter's room and they stayed in there with the door closed for quite a while. Then they came out and said they were going to be at a hotel for a couple of days to "go to war" as they put it, and get ready for court. We were nervous. Stuart was reassuring. The questioning of the defense witnesses and our own expert witnesses were top notch. We were very proud of our attorney. And when the jury came back with a verdict of 37 million dollars, we did not know what to think. We were stunned. It was like a euphoric experience, but confusing at the same time. Then Stuart told us that we needed to get ready for an appeal, so right there and then we walked from the court house and were introduced to our appellate attorney. It would be a long road. Two appellate court hearings were followed by another at the Florida Supreme Court. Stuart never flinched. He was with us all the way, and although none of us knew that it would be for another seven years, there was no question-not one ever- that we made the right choice with Stuart Grossman.

I can’t say enough about Robert Rossano. I was involved in an accident where I was injured and my car was totaled. He talked me through what I needed to do and what the process would entail. Once I completed my therapy he was able to promptly settle with the maximum amount I could get from the insurance company. I quickly received my settlement thereafter. Each time I called his office my questions were answered. So thankful I found such a caring and knowledgeable lawyer to guide me through this frustrating and stressful time.

A pipe burst in my bathroom last year and I was recommended to The Strems Law Firm by my neighbor. I made a phone call to get more information and was able to hire them to help me with my claim. After my insurance company refused to give me any money and chose to deny my claim, I was told by one of their employees that the next step would be to enter into litigation in order to be able to make my repairs. Carlos Fernandez is the attorney assigned to my case and has helped me to understand every step of the way. Him and the employees at the firm have always returned my call and or email when I wanted status on my case. As of last week, my case was finally able to be closed and I can now look forward to receiving the money to be able to make my repairs. I would not have gotten this far if it was not for the great help of Mr. Fernandez and his team at Strems. I will definitely make sure to tell my family and friends about them!

I was hurt in a car accident and needed a personal injury lawyer in Miami to represent me. Gregg Pessin exceeded my expectations as an injury attorney. He helped me get medical treatment and worked very hard on getting me the money I deserved from the insurance company. In the end, I actually received more money than I expected and my medical bills were covered. I would recommend Gregg Pessin for anyone in the Miami area needing a personal injury attorney.

First let us thank Matthew for the work and professionalism he provided to us through our case. Additionally we came to experience Matthew in a personal way, he is passionate, professional and persistent. There was never a time in our case that he did not respond to our calls and emails with efficiency and timely updates. Matthew was very thorough and simplistic in how he walk us through the terminology and nuisances of our case. He did not provide us with a false hope, but constantly assured us he was working to meet our needs and in the benefit of our reuest. If he thought that a strategy was not wise he would suggest another means to accomplish our goal. Not only is Matthew an attorney but a true person at heart with character, ethics and morality. If you are looking for a exuberant, informed and passionate attorney, Matthew is the person you want on your side. Thank you again Matthew for your counsel and may your practice succeed in every way.

You very well deserve more than five Ms Karen Callejo. I cannot find enough words to express my deep gratitude for everything you have done for me over the past few months. From the moment you took on my case, you demonstrated a level of commitment, dedication, and professionalism that I had never experienced in the legal world before.
After nearly three years of legal battles and frustration, I felt completely hopeless and helpless. My cervical injury and the intense pain in my sciatic nerves had affected every aspect of my life, and it seemed like there was no hope in sight. However, from the first day you began working on my case, I felt a glimmer of hope.
Your meticulous approach and tireless determination to fight for my rights were truly inspiring. Despite the obstacles and difficulties we encountered along the way, you never stopped believing in me or the validity of my case. Your tireless efforts to secure the fair compensation I deserved have changed my life in ways that I can never thank you enough for.
The fact that you managed to secure fair compensation in a record time of 90 days is simply amazing. Your ability to navigate the legal maze with such efficiency and skill is truly admirable. Thanks to you, I can finally look to the future with optimism and hope, knowing that I can begin to rebuild my life and regain my health.
Not only are you an exceptional lawyer, but you are also an exceptional person. Your compassion, empathy, and unwavering support throughout this process have meant everything to me. I will always be grateful for your kindness, your patience, and your expert guidance.
In summary, I recommend your legal services highly enough to anyone in a situation similar to mine. You are a true champion of justice and a shining light in the legal world. Thank you, Ms. Karen Callejo from the bottom of my heart, for everything you have done for me.
With eternal gratitude,
Lis A.

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.
