November 8,, 2024
Once divorced, most individuals move on, but I was unfortunate to have an “ex” intent on causing trouble. No matter how stressful and costly, I needed an expert lawyer and legal team to protect my interests. With an “ex” like mine, it was imperative to immediately address his breach of contract and non-compliance with other matters. Once more, I contacted Irons & Irons for their outstanding legal services. Gib Irons recommended a new and exceptional member of their team, Robert Zaslow, an attorney with thirty years of family law experience.
Mr. Zaslow quickly learned about my case and took the first step. He informed my “ex” that he had signed a contract that he was not free to alter. Failure to comply with contractual obligations would lead to litigation. The easiest and least costly option was to comply (in my case, pay alimony on time and in total).
After my “ex” ignored Mr. Zaslow’s correspondence, we had to take the next step. Several Court filings persuaded my “ex” to pay what he owed me, but he refused to cover the legal fees I had incurred. Per our contract, if one party breaches an agreement, the other party can ask for legal fees. Another matter involved a No Contact clause in our Equitable Distribution Agreement, which prohibits my “ex” from contacting me and vice versa, a clause my “ex” had ignored.
We had no choice but to go to Court. When I arrived at the Courthouse, Mr. Zaslow took precautions to protect me. As we entered the courtroom, he informed the bailiff I had an NC No Contact provision and a Protective Order from another state.
While the judge and attorneys present discussed the day’s docket, my “ex” took advantage and approached me. His voice alerted Mr. Zaslow, who spun around and instructed my “ex” to walk away. The bailiff rushed over immediately and ordered my “ex” to step away, an order he had to repeat twice before my “ex” complied.
When the Judge was ready to hear our case, Mr. Zaslow delivered every critical point to recover legal fees and highlight my “ex’s” multiple violations of NC’s No Contact clause. He was masterful in clearly setting up the case and methodically offering evidence to corroborate his points. Mr. Zaslow knows how to deliver a compelling narrative that captures a judge’s attention and brilliantly grounds the argument presented in the law. The judge ruled in our favor.
Additionally, since I face continuing litigation in another state, Mr. Zaslow went the extra mile to secure copies of the hearing’s recording. He shared this valuable material with me, my lawyer in the state where I reside, and the State Attorney’s prosecutor handling a separate criminal complaint.
During these many hearings, I’ve relied on my lawyers, a highly skillful mediator, fair judges, court personnel, and police officers. Certainly, Irons & Irons is at the top of my list of invaluable professionals. Thank you, Gib Irons, Robert Zaslow, and the best paralegal in the world, Kaitlyn Gonzalez. Your superb support since early December 2021 (when I first called) has contributed to my new life, a happy one if it weren’t for my “ex’s” behavior. That, too, shall pass, and in the meantime, I am exceedingly grateful knowing you have my back.

01/31/2023. I went in with crutches and two knee stabilizers. They referred me to an Illinois attorney, this attorney didn't care either. My accident happened in Richmond, Virginia. The company is from Illinois. I live in NC. I was a truck driver who lived in NC and paid taxes in NC. These guys don't know crap about personal injury in a truck company! This company didn't care! Great west casualties. You guys don’t care and you won’t try at all to help.
Yes, I got a settlement without you guys screwing it up! Just remember that you hide from a job and you won't get paid.

I’ve always had a great experience working with Ricci’s Law Firm, and this recent case was no exception. Case manager Cree and attorneys David and Jonathan made a fantastic team. Cree was exceptional from start to finish, bringing a level of warmth, empathy, and professionalism that made me feel genuinely cared for. She was always available to answer questions, provided clear explanations of every detail, and kept me updated on each step of the case. Cree’s responsiveness and dedication were impressive, treating me with the same care and attention as if I were family.
David, who originally started my case, brought a high level of skill and precision. He worked diligently from the outset, laying a solid foundation by gathering all the details and carefully constructing a case strategy that addressed every angle. David’s commitment to detail and his proactive approach gave me complete confidence, and he made sure everything was set up for a smooth handoff. His thorough preparation was instrumental in the overall success of the case.
When Jonathan took over, he stepped in seamlessly, showing the same level of expertise, thoroughness, and dedication to understanding every detail. His ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a straightforward and reassuring way made a real difference, and he ensured I was always informed and comfortable with each development. Jonathan’s commitment and skill were crucial to the success of my case, and he approached every challenge with focus and determination.
Ricci’s Law Firm consistently goes above and beyond, making each experience as seamless as possible. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking a team that genuinely cares and delivers excellent service! Thank You!

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.
