It was a blessing to be represented by an attorney who is not only beautiful out side but more beautiful inside. I was worried that I could not be able to afford an attorney to represent me in my divorce case. God blessed me by choosing a lawyer that listened to my story and did every thing she could to help me despite the fact that I did not have enough money to hire a lawyer. I was surprised to learn that a lawyer can go that far to help a client . I am very grateful for all my attorney did to help me without minding that I had not enough to pay her for her time spent on my case. Thank you please.

I knew when I first talked to Mrs. Dafoe and she said if I was out to get revenge or take what wasn't fair in my divorce then she wasn't the lawyer for me. I knew then that she was the lawyer I wanted. Divorce is never easy emotionally yet Mrs. Dafoe was very compassionate. She will tell you straight up what her fees are and doesn't expand her fees. Mrs. Dafoe knows her job and respects the position she and trust the judges have in her to exercise her clients rights to the fullest. I would refer her to everybody who wants a fair divorce.

Mr Nick Gerson has been extremely attentive (even on weekends!) and has been more than willing to take time to answer all my questions. His receptionist (Suzanne) and paralegal (Carla) are courteous, friendly and highly efficient in all matters. Mr Gerson's diligence lead to a very quick resolution of my case. I am more than pleased to recommend you seek him as your attorney. You will not regret you did!!

I called multiple offices before calling Greg and he was the only attorney that made me feel like a person and not a dollar. He was always available to speak to, or returned my call within an hours time. My case took about four months from beginning to end, I was compensated for my injuries and am so happy that Greg was behind it all! I will be recommending him to anyone who needs an attorney.

This was my car accident attorney. I had injuries in my back and neck from a car accident. He helped me through the entire process and made everything very easy on my end. I was very happy with the fact that it was always very easy to reach him. Thank you again Mr. Greg for all of you help and hard work.

The whole staff at Weldon &Rothman are extremely helpful always call back to answer any questions or concerns. Always good to have a lawyer who goes 100% My friends and family all asked, "Why did you hire a lawyer!?" Being that I am more than capable in legal matters. I said," Sometimes you need to let the "Lawyer" do the talking!" Morgan Jones is well spoken, especially in law. Wonderful demeanor easy to work with and will surely go to bat for you!! I was elated when she agreed to take my case. Very anxious about the outcome, since we were dealing with the Federal Govt. Ms. Jones made me feel secure and walked me thru the entire process. Unemployment law is tricky if you don't know. Many thank yous to you and your entire staff Ms. Jones!!!! I will certainly refer in the future.

Todd and his staff went above and beyond to settle my difficult case. I would and have recommend him.

Todd handled my auto accident case in 2004. He is one of the best and most thorough lawyers I have ever known. His knowledge of the fine points of negotiation, combined with his excellent experience gained in over a decade spent in some of the most well known and sucessful firms in Palm Beach County, served him well. He gives personal attention to all his clients. He is also very caring and compassionate.
As a former paralegal, I have had experience working with many lawyers in personal injury. However when you are the accident victim, everything is different. Todd settled my case and I was extremely satisfied with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Todd and have done so to many of my friends and acquaintances.
Todd will do an excellent job, especially for someone who does not want their case to get "lost in the shuffle" of a big firm. I would especially recomnend him to anyone who has had experience with another lawyer who may have given less than the personal attention they needed and deserved.

Last year, my husband and I both were involved in a car accident. We were both injured and were referred to Mr. Martino from a family friend. I am so grateful for that recommendation because Mr. Martino fought hard for what we were entitled to. During every phone call and consultation, he thoroughly explained everything from start to finish in order to ensure we made informed decisions. Despite COVID, Mr. Martino and his office maintained consistent communication via email, telephone and video chat. He is honest, aggressive and detail oriented. Without hesitation, I would recommend Mr. Martino to anyone.

Jack represented our small business, which had been sued as one of three defendants in a slip and fall case. His thorough knowledge of the law and procedures were incredibly valuable in the case.
His knowledge of courtroom procedures actually assisted the judge on more than one occasion in the course of the week long trial.
Perhaps the most critical aspect of his representation was his ability to connect with the jury in a way that the other four attorneys involved in the case could not. His manner and presentation were outstanding, and no doubt contributed to the favorable result.
Of three defendants in the case, we were the only ones found not liable, and while Jack will tell you that we "gave him good facts," his knowledge and abilities clearly contributed to the outcome.
We could not recommend him more highly!

Laina is a quick learner; very bright young lady. Her ability to listen carefully to what her clients have to is just insanely outstanding. She is intelligent and shows a very high interest in what she does. Laina might have a lot more knowledge and experience to grasp, but I would still give her all my trust and confidence. This young lady is also exceedingly kind and nice to everyone. Her strength is that she always gives 110% to help others and try to solve any of their problems and concerns. She does sacrifice her free time to benefit others with what they require.

I have had the opportunity to have Steve represent me in two cases. Steve emulates what every attorney should be! He takes a personal interest in his clients and defends you as if you were his own family! Steve is trustworthy and competent; he goes above and beyond to be sure that every aspect of your case is pursued. Not that I desire to be involved in another case; but, if I was, it is comforting to know that I can call upon Steve Simon and be assured the best representation one could ask for! Having the security of knowing you have someone you could trust is worth the investment! I cannot commend the talents of Steve Simon enough. Words cannot describe the talents of this attorney. Just be assured if he is representing you ~ you could not have asked for anyone better!

We hired Mr. Underwood for assistance with a possible Jones Act case, as I was injured on a naval research ship. It was a odd and mixed up situation and Mr. Underwood carefully reviewed all of the information and kept us well informed throughout the process. Mr. Underwood was honest and fair. I would highly recommend his services to any person requiring a personal injury attorney.

I am a trucker with a CDL and had an issue when my pickup I had gone shopping in went into a ditch after getting a flat. My groceries included beer and it was a hot day, one of my few days off. As I waited for the tow service I called a cab and popped a beer, then another, and another as I waited for the tow truck and my taxi. A State Trooper pulled over and gave me a DUI because I had my keys and he accused me of drinking while driving and said that was how I ended up in the ditch. I was arrested and booked and would have lost my livelihood as a CDL driver with a DUI if it hadn't been for Mr Angulo. THANK YOU JORGE! I owe you big time!

Mr. Chris was referred by my Brother in law to work on an ongoing case that took about three years going back and forth with the insurance companies. When Mr. Chris saw my case he started on working doing what he does best, it solved my case in matter of couple months by bringing his expertise and his team. If you are looking for a superb personal injury attorney look no further just give this man a call and a chance. He’s got your back from beginning to end with outstanding results.

After searching and searching on ways to get my license back in good standing so I can go back to work, and provide for my family, I stumbled on Rolando Sanchez's profile, read up on his qualifications and took the chance. Long story short my 10 month old ticket that I got found guilty for excessive speeding and that put 5 points on my license was taking care of in the matter of 4 weeks. No court date no points. Highly recommend Mr. Sanchez for representation.

Eric Kay was recommended to me for an unfortunate situation this past December 2014. Although my situation had put me in such a high degree of anxiety Mr. Kays calm demeanor and honesty really put me at ease. Mr. Kay did not provide me with any false hope regarding the outcome of my case, but was supportive, and available throughout. I highly recommend Mr. Kay.

Eric was recommended to me from a close friend of mine who lives in Miami, FL. I hired Eric for a criminal case that I was accused of in Ft. Lauderdale. Not only did Eric get the case dismissed after filing a Motion to Suppress, but he also left a lasting impression on me for life. Watching Eric disscet the prosecution's claim(s) along with leaving their key witness speachless on the stand after questioning was priceless. It was the equivilant of watching Michelangleo paint the Sistine Chapel. We were up against one of the toughest judges in South Florida, and Eric was able to get it dissmissed all through his courtroom mastery. Eric is a diligent, hard working, professional, who is well known in the Broward and Miami Dade political arena. I would not hesitate in the slighest to use Eric's expert servies if I needed a lawyer again. In fact Eric is working on a personal injury case for a friend of mine. Whatever your legal needs may be please contact Eric as you will be in great hands! I'm even more impressed that Eric calls me to this day just to see how I am doing. Those client relations are hard to find in an attorney now a days. Do not hestitate to call Eric for all your legal matters. You will not be dissappointed. I speak from experience! Good Luck.

Ok so I had a ticket (or two) a decade or so old. I cold called Mr. Bianco's office late one afternoon from South Georgia, where I owned a place and lived just 5 miles or so over the boarder [so I wasn't hiding], to my surprise Mr. Bianco answered the phone. I informed him of my "issues" and he was very helpful, full of knowledge reassuring and otherwise very attentive to my reason for calling and seeking the advice of counsel. I was on the FDLE website as a wanted fugitive for said ticket(s). Throughout the process of getting my earlier mistake corrected Mr. Bianco kept me fully informed. He was generally concerned, but most of all he was a man of HIS WORD. I am more or less from the streets of NY, a Service Connected Veteran and through it all Mr. Bianco was accepting of my shortcomings to which I was very appreciative; cause I am not the easiest person to get along with. He told me what he thought it would cost at the end of the day, both inclusive and exclusive of his fee and to that end his estimate was within the ballpark. Which again I was very thankful for. At the end of the day I bought a place in SWFL after securing my Safe Driving License (again), I already had my Motorcycle endorsement from GA, I didn't have to appear in any courtroom [a very brilliant thing cause my mouth causes me much concern/trouble as do my facial expressions] and to top it all off Mr. Bianco sent me a check back for the "overage" from the sums I had given to him as necessary funds to conquer my legal issues. I would not have any problem or concern with telling ANYONE whom needs the assistance of counsel to speak to Frank FIRST (as I was told by more then a couple of other legal counselors in that area, "Mr. Bianco is more then capable I suggest you stick with him he will do the right things and at the end of the day you'll be very satisfied" so now two years later I still from time to time get an email from Mr. Bianco wishing me well. Let us just say, again, I am very thankful for the Florida Bar' Referral I received to speak with Mr. Bianco. Mr Biancos professionalism, knowledge and general abilities as well as mannerism are all worth noting as each were indeed superb!

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney William Turner Abel, Esq. over the past few months, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his professionalism and dedication. From the start, he took the time to truly understand my situation and provided clear, thoughtful advice that put me at ease duringwhat could have been a very stressful process.
Attorney Abel was always responsive, answering my questions promptly and explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. His expertise and attention to detail were evident in every interaction, and I always felt confident knowing I had him advocating for me.
Thanks to Attorney Abel, my case was resolved successfully, and I am incredibly grateful for his support and hard work. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate attorney.

I've known Joel since our high school days, so when I got into a car accident in Orlando and needed some advice, I thought I'd give him a call. Joel was incredibly helpful from the start. He took the time to listen to my situation and explained my options clearly. Joel was patient and answered all of my questions. He genuinely cared about helping me understand the situation better. If you're in Orlando and find yourself needing guidance after a car accident, I'd definitely recommend giving Bengal Law a call. Joel's expertise and willingness to help make him a great resource in these stressful situations.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have had my case finalized by Ehrlich & Naparstek. I say finalized because originally my case was with a giant firm and the file just gets pushed around from desk to desk. Due to a conflict of interest they transferred my case to Ehrlich & Naperstek, it was the best thing they did for me. I was giving frequent updates, they found so many missing pieces that were significant to the case and I ended with a significantly larger settlement than the original firm was requesting. I hope no one ever finds themself in a situation that you need an injury attorney but if you do this is the one you want representing you. Bigger is not better. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

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.

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.
