I met with Alicia (I believe... over a year ago) regarding some adoption questions. She was professional, courteous, and very helpful. When it came time to adopt and I had been given a list of attorneys, she was on the list. Of course I chose her and I'm glad I did. Top notch, prompt, efficient, friendly, you name it! It was such a smooth adoption! Thank you Alicia!! Highly recommend. FYI.. Her office is right near the water in downtown Edmonds. Pack a picnic when you visit her office!

When it comes to brain injury law, it's hard to imagine a more capable and calming attorney than Scott Blair. His clients know this and, more importantly, so do the insurance companies that he takes to court - as it's one thing for personal injury lawyers to say they can handle a brain injury case and quite another to show they've actually defended hundreds of them with successful verdicts and settlements. My family and I felt increasingly fortunate to have Scott and his team leading my recent case to a successful outcome and wouldn't hesitate in recommending Brain Injury Law of Seattle to anyone in need of specialized counsel.

As soon as I spoke with Scott, I felt relief. He said the magic words, " You concentrate on getting well, I'll deal with the rest." Then he followed through.
My settlement was more than I expected, it will help me address continuing health concerns.

I have used Scott for two separate auto accidents and he has always done an amazing job. He is always upfront about all costs and expectations, very communicative through out the whole process and is always ready to fight to get you fair compensation no matter the case. It has been a pleasure both times.

Scott did an excellent job advocating on my behalf. The other party’s insurance was not negotiating in good faith for the settlement and he was able to get them to agree to a larger payment that was more in line with the scope of the case.

I am overjoyed with the service and results I received and continue to receive from Cunnane Law. Ever since I lost function in my hands and other health issues, I have been struggling with the ramifications, not the least of which is how I would survive when the continuation of my LTD benefits was denied. I never had the need for an attorney before and was very nervous about the whole thing as I’ve had friends go through a lot of unpleasantness with lawyers in general. John Boone is so warm, reassuring, and responsive and helped me get through all the stages of my appeal. My health issues have affected me both physically and cognitively and John is so understanding and accommodating. I was beyond impressed with the thoroughness of my appeal. The professionals they work with were also amazing and so respectful. I won my appeal and much more quickly than I thought! My case was not simple and Cunnane Law came through for me. I am so grateful and have Joe Cunnane, John Boone and his team to thank for it. I am extremely grateful that I chose the right attorney and would trust them with any of my friends and family. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I endorse them without hesitation.

Joe Cunnane helped me through the car accident/injury process. He took the burden off my shoulders so I didn't have to worry about trying to deal with the other driver's insurance company, especially when I was still recovering from my injury. He is caring and worked for me, not for himself. Very professional. He is close by and, thus, easy to reach if I needed to sign forms, etc. I would refer him to anyone who needed an attorney for a car accident.

After eleven months of trying to deal with a large insurance company I decided to seek professional help. I then contacted Cheryl Farrish at the Certa Law Group. From that point onwards Cheryl and her very competent colleagues took care of everything in an efficient, professional and friendly manner. Eventually, they got me a settlement five times my initial demand. Without them, I would have struggled to pay the medical and auto mechanic bills from the accident. With them, I received a settlement that allowed me to pay all my bills and leave the accident in the past.

I was unable to resolve an accident case so decided to seek legal assistance. After conversing with Cheryl Farrish at Certa Law Group regarding my situation I was encouraged by her understanding and felt comfortable about selecting Certa Law Group to represent me. During the negotiation phase with the insurance company , she and Cortney Williams, Paralegal, kept me apprised of developments and sought my opinion at appropriate times. I received replies to my questions without hesitation. I am happy with the settlement reached. I would definitely use them again if necessary.

Having never needed an attorney before I was a bit skeptical about the process. From day one I felt well taken care of by Cheryl and her team. I was in a car accident in 2019 and it was evident that my well being was put first.
She took care of everything and I was able to concentrate on getting well. My questions were always answered immediately and the explanations were easy to understand.
The settlement process was quick and we were very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Cheryl and her team. True professionals!

Jody took a case for me that no one else would work on and stuck with it for 2 years. I would not have gotten anything at all if it was not for her. She is professional, responsive and goes to bat for her clients. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

When my future father in law passed, my fiancé and I were not sure how he would execute the will or where to even start. We found Jody and her practice and she immediately began explaining the process to us. I absolutely don't know how we would have navigated this process through grief without her. Thank you to Jody (and her paralegal Ethel) for being helpful and patient, being willing to answer dozens of small (and probably obvious/simple) questions to help us navigate. We plan to use Jody to help us plan our own estate after we are married so that we have a plan together. Thank you, Jody, for showing us the importance of preparation and helping us navigate!

Dear Jeff and Everyone,
What words can I possibly use to express what is in my heart right now. I really lucked out the day Lorinda and I walked into your office. I would of never dreamed what had started out as a business relationship would develop into another “OHANA” (Family) for us. You all are wonderful people and an UNBELIEVABLE LAW FIRM!!!
Jeff and Mercedes, without your deft skills, warm style, experienced perspective and your “NO BULLSHIT” attitude; Lorinda and I couldn’t have made it through the most difficult fight of my life and our relationship. You both are “rare gems” that we are very fortunate you were on our side!
To Everyone; “Mahalo Nui Loa” (Thank you very much) for recognizing our feelings and needs every time I called or we came into your office. I definitely realize at times it wasn’t very easy for all of you. You all handled it with extreme grace! We both enjoyed the stories you shared with us, your constant reassurance and hard work. It has been truly a blessing to work with all of you!
“Aloha nui loa” (Fondest regards) and “Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau’oli Makahiki Hou” (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year)!

I was in an automobile accident and injured my wrist. I received treatment for several months and when a new adjuster came on board to my case he denied my claims and called me a liar. I contacted Mr. Donchez and they handled everything from that point on. Professional, knowledgeable and worked hard to win a settlement in my case.I am grateful Mr. Donchez was on my side! I cannot say enough good things about Donchez Law Firm.

I was in a bicycle accident in Seattle. The road had a sand patch in the bike path. The city and the construction company tried to wear us down by dragging things out but Pino stuck with me through thick and thin. We ended up getting a better settlement than I expected. Everyone at the office was friendly, efficient and low key. I feel that I could not have had better representation.

When I was involved in a motor vehicle accident, Pellegrino was incredibly helpful getting a resolution with an opposing insurance company. Because I did not have insurance on my small motor scooter, the other driver's insurance company tried to claim I was responsible for the accident. Pino agreed with my take on it, and fought hard to get them to take responsibility. Through negotiations, he was able to get exactly what I wanted, my vehicle to be repaired and my missed work compensated. I couldn't have asked for more and would definitely recommend his services to anyone involved in a similar incident.

I was in a car accident and Pino and his team made a nightmarish experience better than tolerable. There service, knowledge and compassion were outstanding!! Specifically:
-They kept on top of and made sure all my medical bills were paid on time without me writing one check.
- They kept me informed of the progress of the situation at all times.
-They were always available and answered the phone when I called.
-Finally, they were able to get the case settled and closed in less than a year.
Outstanding people and Outstanding Service!!

Joe was brought on to my case about 6 months before trial by another attorney I hired. He took the lead of the trial process and worked harder than I thought possible to help me. Ultimately we achieved something pretty incredible with the jury verdict, and then he kept fighting and advocating for me through the process of collecting that verdict. If you want somebody who's going to ensure that every detail is covered and that you feel supported and encouraged through the whole process, you can't get any better than Joe Pipinich. He's not just a good lawyer, he's a really good person and that's the key to being so good at what he does.

After contacting Mr Pipinich, we met to talk about my case. I was not sure where to go with my case and I was at least hoping he could point me in the right direction if he could not help me. After going over my paperwork, Joe seemed perturbed. He too was upset at the Ex employer that was trying to rip me off! Joe told me that i had an Excellent case and that he would need to make a couple inquiries and get back to me. A couple days later Joe called and asked to meet. he presented the paperwork that he was ready to have served and gave me some options.I was really impressed by the way Joe explained everything so that I could understand. we chose a path and Joe had the paperwork served. I got nervous when the ex employer retained one of the largest Law offices in Seattle. Joe was so confident,and that made me more confident. their offers started at "ridiculous" then got better. eventually we did settle without going to court.I recieved way more than I was originally owed. I was happily surprised by how quick all this went. I have recommended Joe to others since and i will continue to do so.

Joe Pipinich did an amazing job helping our family through a trying time. About 4 years ago our dog was attacked by two pit bulls that broke through our gate and shattered our border collies front leg. When the owners refused to help with costs and turned it over to their insurance company who placed a value on our dog of only $1000 we contacted Mr. Pipinich and he contacted and fought with the insurance company to get the full medical bills covered this allowed us to get the best help possible to try and save my dogs leg. This was an expensive process to save the dogs leg and in the end amputation was the best option. If not for Mr. Pipinich fighting for us we would have had to put our animal down due to the costs incurred from the damage to our dogs leg. He took on the case and fought for us and our dog and I will say I was impressed by his compassion and fortitude in fighting our case. The insurance company saw our dog as an asset and Joe fought for him as if he was a family member. I believe Joe Pipinich to be a great asset to his profession and will fight for his clients to the very end. Thanks Joe you are a great lawyer and friend.

I am impressed with Bill Hochberg and Rachel Hamar and glad I chose them to be my attorneys—these two lawyers took my workers’ compensation and personal injury cases and litigated them with skill and dedication, all the way through arbitration in my personal injury case. My attorneys were not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the insurance company and fought hard to protect my rights. My cases were complicated and difficult, but Bill and Rachel worked hard to get me an excellent result—I highly recommend them!

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.
