I was linked with Mr Carpenter through prepaid legal in 2017 for my custody case. He went above and beyond and above to get me 50/50 custody rights for my kids. I used him again in 2019 when my ex refused to honor the court order, not only that, helped me wrote letters few times without charge.

I had never been in a MVA before,so speaking to a personal injury attorney was all new to me. When I met with Ryan,he explained all the details to me in a very helpful manner. He always asked if I had any questions about anything. When I needed to contact Ryan,he was easy to reach either by phone or email. He always got back to me in a very timely manner- he was also very courteous & pleasant to talk to. He is highly respected & recommended by me.

Mr. Thomas A. Archer and his paralegal staff, Lisa Knode and Jessica Porter, recently handled the estate of my late brother, Eric. The situation was complex and required significant interactions with multiple companies and individuals. Mr. Archer was able to identify hard-to-find information that ultimately led to a successful resolution of this estate. His staff was courteous, prompt and thorough. They explained every step permitting our family to recover assets that would otherwise have been lost. I highly recommend his services to others.

When your child is hurt in an accident you don't know what to do.. Phones are ringing, insurance companies calling, and all you want to do is take care of your child and get them the care that they need. I didn't need to worry about how I was going to pay for all of this, and answer a million questions when I didn't even have all the answers yet myself. Mr Marzzacco quickly put me at ease, stopped all the phone calls and let me take care of my daughter! He handled everything but always kept me updated on her case and how we needed to proceed. He was kind and dedicated. Anytime I have a question, I quickly got a response from him or his wonderful staff. I really can't say enough about my experience because they were there during the worst year of our lives, and did his part to get my daughter what she deserved. I would never use another Lawyer and would recommend him to everyone and anyone I know. Thank you for Everything!

Joe did a great job with my case. He fought for me, and won. I was falsely charged with a crime that could have affected my employment, drivers license, and financial aid for school. I was pleased with the outcome because he believed in me and fought for me until he was able to come to an understanding that both the DA and I could accept. This was not a plea bargain either! I know that it could have gone horribly wrong without him! Thanks Joe!

I highly recommend Joseph Sembrot if your seeking skilled legal defense. I was a client for a little over a year. He did some great work for me. Mr. Sembrot managed to suppress some charges while lowering others and secured me a very sweet deal with the DA. Although we never made it to trial(because it wasn't necessary), I have full confidence in this mans ability to represent me.

Attorney Sembrot, through his extensive legal knowledge and personal dedication, secured for me a favorable resolution of two misdemeanor criminal charges. Throughout his representation, he was both incredibly approachable and communicative, updating me of my case progress, while simultaneously helping to ease the tension that naturally accompanies any criminal charge. His mastery of PA criminal procedure and his kind demeanor made him both a tremendous legal asset as well as an excellent guide. The criminal arena at first seemed counter intuitive and insurmountable. Attorney Sembrot changed that by bringing perspective and a sense of security. For those reasons, I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing an exceptional legal team.

I was always treated with respect and never felt that I was "just a number". Because of my circumstances, the car accident left me in a financial hardship. I needed things to happen quickly without settling for less than I deserved. The staff at HHR were very much on top of things and Atty. Crosby never made me doubt that he was working for ME. Everyone was very professional. In the end, I received a settlement that I was MORE than happy with and highly recommend HHR, Atty. Crosby and their staff. Thank you for taking care of me :)

We are writing this letter to tell you how pleased we are with the selection of HHR as the law firm representing Ina Alessi. Throughout her hospital stay, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and recovery both Kate Kuhns and Attorney Matt Crosby guided her through this arduous process. Their assistance, constant explanations, updates, and handling of negotiations was courteous and professional at all times. Questions were answered promptly and clearly. Each step of the negotiating process was explained including the possibility of further legal action and trial. This was a very trying time in Ina’s life. Your email and phone contact with her brother-in-law Giles Couch was an enormous assistance to her cause. Again, we wish to thank you and to tell you that Ina is completely satisfied with the outcome and settlement. Hopefully, we will not experience a similar accident. However, we will not hesitate to recommend HHR to others. Attorney Crosby and Ms. Kuhns were always kind, courteous, and helpful. Do not hesitate to use this letter as you address other clients and potential clients. Sincerely yours, Giles W. C., Jr. For Ina Alessi

When my accident happened, I was lost and thought I was going to end up in a circumstance of total loss. I was unable to return to work for almost 5 months and with a family to support, not being compensated was not an option. I consulted with Mr.Feather and he assured me that my case deserved to be recognized and compensated. He dealt directly with my insurance company who did nothing but hassle me and try to avoid dealing with the situation at hand. Not only was he successful in obtaining a worthy settlement, but he was very professional, punctual, honest and empathetic to my needs. I would definitely hire him again if needed in the future.

I could not have asked for a better lawyer. Matt took care of everything from dealing with insurance companies to driving to Baltimore for my doctor's appointment.

Matt kept pressure on my insurance company and was able to get money that was owed to me by my insurance company. I will forever be grateful to Matt for helping me to close a bad chapter in my life and begin the healing process. Thank you Matt!!!

In my entire life in the business world, I have never worked with a domestic relations attorney as brilliant, caring and efficient as Anthony W. Parker. I brought my friend to his office and he took on her very complicated case. I cannot say enough good things about, Attorney Parker. He has vast experience in the Greater Harrisburg and surrounding court systems. Because of his extensive experience he has made things happen that other attorneys could not. In addition, he uses his time efficiently. He is careful to do thing that actually move the case forward. He ferrets out valuable information about the players in the case and keeps his client's best interest in the forefront. When I receive the monthly bill, every charge is accounted for, and I always feel that we receive incredible value for the fees charged.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. 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.
