Prior to this year, I never had the need to engage a personal injury attorney but that changed when a third party created a hazard causing my injury. A friend recommended John and I’m glad I reached out. During my initial consultation, John set expectations, discussed next steps, potential outcomes and assigned Brian to my case. Brian navigated the process expertly and brought an unwavering focus to my case. His professionalism, compassion, and passion for helping a client is unmatched. My goal was for the third party to be held accountable for their gross negligence to hopefully prevent them from doing this to someone else. I believe John, Brian and team achieved this goal by securing an exceptional settlement for this type of injury. I highly recommend John, Brian and Schwartzapfel Lawyers.

Keren Birnbaum was a pleasure to work with. She is professional, pleasant, and very patient answering all of our questions. She took her time and made sure we understood all the minor details and legalese that could be confusing. Keren made everything easy to digest and our meetings went smoothly. She placed everything into real-life circumstances so that we can better understand the decisions we had to make for our Estate Plan. My wife and I finished up our Estate documents with the confidence that we created an appropriate plan for our family's future. Thanks so much, Keren!

Of all the lawyers I’ve dealt with in my life Neil Flynn at Horn Wright, LLP is the only one who took the time to listen to everything I had to say and answer all my questions before even discussing how he would be paid. Once we laid the foundation for our attorney-client relationship, he gave me several options including a straight contingency fee, a retainer/hourly rate fee structure or a hybrid of the two. His bills were always reasonable and when I questioned something he made sure to discuss it with me in person until I was satisfied. Most importantly, he did a fantastic job representing me and my small business when we needed a civil litigation attorney. I would absolutely recommend Neil and his firm Horn Wright, LLP to my friends and family.

"I do not recommend this firm. They are unresponsive and only seem interested in contacting you when it’s about money. They failed to resolve my case and left me feeling like my pockets were emptied for nothing. Communication is terrible—they don’t answer calls, but will text when they want payment. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere."

Tom Foley was referred to me by a family friend after I was hit by a car, from behind, while out cycling. Tom and his staff made the process as simple and stress free for me as I recovered from significant injuries. His paralegal, Nicole, kept me in the loop throughout - paperwork, waivers, insurance claims and case updates. Both Tom and Nicole were always available to answer questions and often took time out of their day to check in on how I was feeling physically. They are professional, honest and knowledgeable. Tom is a great negotiator as I received settlements that far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Tom Foley and staff for your personal injury needs.

I retained Ted Naima for legal assistance regarding an auto accident. Since the very first meeting, Ted was direct and honest about the upcoming legal process and expectations. Ted explained the litigation process is great details, collected the necessary documents, and filed the process. Ted continued to press the responded until the proper resolution of the case. Ted did not take No for an answer from the insurance company. At the end, Ted prevailed and I'm very happy with the result! Moreover, during Covid, we conducted all meetings by phone and video conference. I recommend Ted to anyone who needs a lawyer!

Mr. Naima helped me after I was hit in my work truck stopped at a red light. I Lost most of my tools and machines in the accident. I also recieved quite a few stitches on my face and gashed my arm. However through this negative time MR Naima was able to not only help me recover what I had worked so hard to purchase over the years, but he actually cared. He not only followed up to check on me he was genuine and honest... Rare in attorneys but there are some good people out there and Mr Naima was one of them.
Thank you,

I recently suffered a personal injury due to a workplace accident, and I am incredibly grateful to have had Michael Licatesi as my lawyer. He did an outstanding job handling my case, fighting tirelessly on my behalf to secure the maximum settlement amount. Michael’s communication was exceptional throughout the entire process—he kept me informed every step of the way and was always available to answer any questions I had. He was also incredibly understanding and respectful of my treatment and medical decisions, which fostered a sense of trust throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will truly advocate for you and deliver excellent results, I highly recommend Michael Licatesi. Thank you, Michael, for your hard work and unwavering support!

Mr. Altschuler is the best out there. He is the definition of professionalism. Other attorneys turned my case down-but he was fighting for what's right for me not how much the case is worth. Today I'm still enjoying the compensation that he fought for and WON. Thanks again Mr. Altschuler. Call! Call! Call him NOW!

Mr. Altschuler kept me abreast of the status of my case without me having to ask. I am the type of person that does not like to be left in the dark and hate to have to ask for information that I feel should be provided to me without having to ask or beg for it. I cannot tell you how impressed and appreciative I was of him and his staff on how they handled my case and kept me in the loop as things progressed. I highly recommend Mr. Altschuler and will certainly use him again. He's honest, fair and trustworthy.

I have used Scott Wooster of Wooster and Wooster several times and my sister has used him as well. Scott is a very compassionate, thorough and honest attorney that leaves no stone unturned. He keeps you informed on every aspect of the case so you always know how everything is going. If your case goes to trial he tells you what to expect and makes you comfortable with the process. He has been successful in all of the cases he has handled for my family. You can always feel confidant when Scott is on your side! I recommend Scott to anyone that needs a GREAT attorney.

Scott effectively negotiated a settlement with 2 insurance companies following an auto accident. He explained to us the basics of insurance, no-fault and tort law and set our expectations early. He remained available to us for questions and his office handled our no-fault claims even when initially denied by the company. Well recommended.

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.
