I don't write very many reviews but this one is warranted. Trust me when I say look no further than Blake Dolman and his team of Kelly Hancock and Ana Prats-Villa. In my 30 years of working with attorneys in various areas, I've never come across an attorney and team more competent, diligent, proactive and effective in addition to being extremely pleasant to work with. I heard the word 'No' from 30 other lawfirms I contacted. Blake and Kelly were the only ones who said 'Yes' and were successful in a recovery for me. I simply can't say enough great things about Blake and his team. He has my highest endorsement and gratitude.

Brent took on my case and walked me through every step of the way with confidence and calmness. I filed the case on my own against a big corporation. Brent took over my case and the stress was lifted off of my shoulders. He believed in me and my story and fought for my case. I obtained the end result that I desired. I felt empowered that I was able to stand up for myself and advocate for myself against a corporation with the help of Brent. Three years later Brent still answers my legal questions and provides recommendations and resources that have been extremely beneficial. I do recommend this Attorney. Thanks for everything Brent!

I was rear ended on April 28, 2016 and had injuries to my neck. I did not want to be stuck with medical bills so I chose an attorney without a billboard. I went to all my medical appointments, physical therapy, and procedures (facet blocks, epidural, disc decompression) to ease my headaches and neck pain. I had headaches most days. The at fault insurance company originally offered a low ball settlement which would not begin to cover my medical bills. My attorney (who is awesome, did most of the leg work, and worked extremely hard for me) brought Chad and his wife Carrie Lambeth Pilon on my team on January 31, 2017. Both Chad and Carrie have ALOT of experience dealing with this particular insurance company and they enjoy the challenge. The at fault insurance company brought up an on the job injury I had in 1999. I didn't even remember at first. I am a nurse and I had strained my neck/trapezius lifting a patient in bed. Chad and Carrie obtained copies of my workmans' comp case which indicated that I went to physical therapy for about three weeks and never had any problems afterwards. My case was resolved by May 19, 2017. It just took a little while to get the details worked out, and then we were delayed by the court for about a month. The at fault insurance company agreed to pay the maximum. I was relieved, since the medical bills will be covered and after attorney fees I will have enough for future treatments if needed. Chad and Carrie Lambeth Pilon will fight for what is fair and just.

Mark Drasites did a wonderful job representing me throughout my divorce and mediation proceedings. He was always well prepared for every meeting and he did a great job in helping me understand the many questions that I had about the process. I felt much more confident having Mark represent me and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who won't miss a thing regarding your case, who is available when you need them, who will give you knowledgeable advice, and who can help you feel reassured that you will get the best outcome possible.

I contacted this attorney in an absolutely desperate situation when I was told by several other lawyers that my case could not be won. She not only took over a hopeless case, but she also gave me a lot of emotional support and gave me back my optimism. She won my case, which altered my life in many ways. I am very thankful for everything she has done. She is a very professional and zealos lawyer. On the other hand she always remembers that her client is first of all a person. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to really represent their interests in court. Lisa Vesnina

I do not live in Florida and that made choosing a Florida attorney a little more difficult. A Florida family member had passed passed away late in 2014 and we needed to probate the Florida estate. We ended up retaining Mr. Mast after speaking to a number of attorneys. He was by far the most candid and most reasonable. The estate was not particularly complicated and Mr. Mast did not try to embellish or justify why he needed to charge an inflated fee. His fee was most reasonable and his final bill was exactly where he projected it would be. It was refreshing not to hear an attorney "sales pitch" - a tactic that other florida attorneys used to try to justify why their fees should be higher.
He was knowledgeable and always promptly responded to our questions. He filed all papers in a timely manner.
I have no hesitation in recommending him and I am very glad we retained his services.

Larry is the finest lawyers I have dealt with in my 18 years of Risk Management. I would recommend Larry to anyone--without any reservations. In the last 10 years he has save my company tens of thousands of dollars in Workers Comp, Employee Law, EEO, Contracts and other areas. Using his HOA/Condo law expertise he nicely prevailed on an issue I was having with my HOA. He is an attorney who's goal from the time he takes a case, is to close it as quickly as possible--saving his clients thousands in claim dollars and attorney fees--and doesn't rack up unnecessary hours. Larry not only studies his clients, but visits them and gets to know all the key players. As a devoted Christian he does a superb job for all his clients.

Currently in the process for a rear-end collision back in October. I’m not sure what happened to the gentleman below and Virgina but, I can tell you that she has explained to me the process and always answers my texts or calls. Her staff at the office are on top of anything that comes up, especially Stephanie! I feel comfortable to call either and they always answer any time. I text Virginia often and she always has my back with whatever small issues/concerns I have. The at-fault party has already sent me a collision check (it only took 2 weeks or less).
I wouldn’t pay too much to the review from 2016. Lawyers don’t drop clients unless there was a reason. Seeing as his wife was still driving around illuminate that her case may not have been as serious. I can’t drive so Virginia made sure i had Uber’s to and from Physical Therapy.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing of an attorney he is. He is been professional ethical honest and has shown great deal of integrity and motivation to help me through one of the toughest times in my life. The injustice that I endured has been an absolute blind and cruel joke from the justice system. However when everyone else deserted me, Matthew stuck by my side , he is also a very reasonable and compassionate as well as can be aggressive when need be as an attorney. Yet I feel like I could consider him a friend. He is in a long line of attorneys and legal situations I would say without question the most dedicated loyal and dependable attorney I have had. He stuck by my side and will continue to stick by my side a despite the many obstacles had to endure over the couple years we have known each other. He rescued me from a terrible situation and an injustice that has destroyed my life, and he is doing everything in his power to fight to regain my rights. I am very grateful to have an attorney with the kind of qualities that this man has! I'm very blessed to have had the opportunity to have happenstance bring him into my life at a time when turmoil could've destroyed me completely. And I appreciate everything he has done and is still doing he's a hard worker and relentless in his pursuit for justice.if there was a rating that went above five stars I would definitely give him far more than just the 5 *'s that are the status quo. And I would recommend him to absolutely anybody in need of criminal services or other. I do have her think of him as a friend more so than as my attorney because he is so down to earth and personable and has worked so hard for me when nobody else was willing to lift a finger . I definitely would say that he should be an A-list top-of-the-line attorney with the highest rating. He has gone out of his way for me stuck his neck out and listen to me vent for ridiculous amounts of time and has never complained about it , for this and much more I am grateful to him for not giving up on me or the case"s" !

Tim is the type of lawyer everyone wishes that had on their side. He took a personal interest in my case and treated me like family, not just a client. I had direct access to Tim via cell phone and email and he was super responsive and took the time to explain everything in a way that even I could understand. He really made me feel comfortable in a very stressful situation and I knew from the very beginning that he had my back if things got out of control.
I’ll admit I spoke to other lawyers, but chose Tim because of his receptiveness and his ability to protect my interests.
I would not hesitate to recommend Tim to anyone looking for a great lawyer, He’s focused on helping you and thats what won me over.

After my case concluded, I can honestly say that he honored my needs and requests and concluded the case in a timely manner.
I am not a review type of person, but the honesty, integrity and hard work performed by Dean and his assistant (Vera) were very much appreciated.
I completely trust them and do not hesitate to refer them.
I am so glad that I put my trust in him!
In my mind this was a much better fit than a firm you may feel like a number in. My calls were always taken and handled with my best interest.

I contacted attorney Williams regarding a family law case that was not resolved via mediation. Since it would be going to trail, I knew it was time to retain an attorney. I'm so glad I chose to do that and specifically attorney Williams. He met with me 3 times, he corresponded with me over the phone. He was thorough about getting info from me and being direct about everything, and he was fantastic in trail. He went in to win and that's what he did. He paid attention and stayed on top of each thing said by the opposing side and in the end we were victorious and words cant describe my joy afterwards. So much relief. This is the second time I have retained him and comes with my recommendation to anyone seeking counsel.

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.
