My name is Hana Aizenfratz and I had the good fortune to have Michael Wallace as my and my husband attorney in two separate cases The first case was for a slip and fall and the second case was a car accident for myself and my husband Leon Aizenfratz. Michael is the most competent and sweet attorney that I ever had . He responds to massages in a matter of minutes depending where he is . He's looking out for your best interest always there for his clients . I don't have enough wonderful words to describe Michael . Choosing him was the best thing that we did

I contacted Mr. Wallace after my vehicle accident. Mr. Wallace took my information, explained everything to me in full detail, explained my options and made us very comfortable with not having to jump through hoops to get things taken care of. I highly recommend Michael Wallace. Out of all of my experiences with attorneys, he was by far the most professional and most helpful to our family.

I was in a car accident rear ended back in November 2014 and I was in a lot of stress and hurt. I was referred to Daniel right away. He made me feel like I was very important and that I was not alone in this case. He got me the right treatment with excellent doctors that took care of me throughout my whole therapy and doctor visits. Daniel always kept in touch with me about my case letting me know any updates about my case. He will mainly say you are the boss and he will be right behind you every step of the way. Ever since I have met Daniel I have followed every single advise he has told me to do for my case, and I have no regrets hiring him as my attorney for my car accident. He gives you great advise and options that you may want to follow, he will never pressure you in doing anything you do not feel comfortable doing. He will be very honest with me and let me know what were my options and we went from there. After I met Daniel and we discuss the case and process in a very short time he got to get my car fixed like brand new again in just weeks after the accident. We won the case and it took a short time to settle and I am very happy with what I walk away with. When I would call him in the office, he always answers his phone and answer all of my questions and again always kept me up to date about the case. I definitely recommend Daniel Reinfeld as your attorney. You will not be disappointed. I am very happy with my choice of attorney especially since this was my first accident. I am a very happy Client after meeting Daniel.

We hired Dan Reinfeld to assist us with an auto insurance claim. The insurance company was trying to deny coverage of the entire claim. Dan was very thoughtful in his approach and didn’t give up. He tried multiple strategies and it worked. They reopened the “closed” claim and covered the claim fully. We were able to do this without having to go to court. Dan is a great written and oral communicator with all parties. In addition, he kept us informed and was always quick to respond to any of our inquiries. It’s typically a stressful time if you are seeking an attorney and he made our ordeal much more bearable. I would strongly and without reservation recommend Dan to anyone who needs legal assistance.

This lawyer truly cares for his clients and believes in the plaintiff side of personal injury. He didn't just "flip" my case. He took the time and truly cared. When the insurance company didn't want to pay, he hung in there and not only got them to offer a settlement, but one that was commensurate with my injuries and damages. This guy is the best around! He's definitely personal injury law's little secret!!

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.

We went with this firm because of the rating and reviews - DONT make the same mistake we did…… I live out of state and my parents were based in Florida. We were looking for a group that would make this as seamless and easy as possible. Instead, we got confrontational rude and unprofessional. We dealt with Fernando twice and then he passed us off to his cronie Maribel. Maribel has no business dealing with people in general, especially people that are grieving the loss of their parents and trying to handle an estate from out of state. Every time my brother or I spoke with this individual, it seemed as if we were a complete bother to her - she was hands down the rudest “ professional “ I have ever had the displeasure of paying to work for us. Our estate was VERY small $237k - split between 3 youths ( as one share ) and 2 adults and yet we paid them 37k !!!!!!!!! An utterly ridiculous amount !~ Sadly and unfortunate for us , this was a process we knew nothing about and did not interview or research other firms so please do your research before going with these people.

I am an attorney compelled to write a review of another law firm and the staff. Throughout the entire process of an estate administration, the staff at OC Estate and Elder Law exhibited a remarkable understanding of the intricacies involved in the complex administration I was involved with. Their depth of knowledge and attention to detail significantly contributed to the smooth handling of the case. Moreover, the paralegals and staff I interacted with displayed a high level of professionalism and were consistently responsive to my emails and very devoted to moving the case along swiftly. I believe that the success of any law firm is not only determined by the expertise of its attorneys but also by the competence and dedication of its support staff. This firm's staff exemplifies these qualities and enhanced the overall experience. J. Selzer, Esq.

Unfortunately, I am no stranger to receiving traffic violations from our law enforcement here in South Florida. I recently moved to the city of Hollywood and Mr. Andrew Smallman was recommended with high regards. I reached out, and my call was returned promptly. The process was flawless and Mr. Smallman went above and beyond any attorney I have dealt with in the past, and I have dealt with many lol Mr. Smallman and his group will be my go to attorneys from here on out. I give him 6 out of 5 stars. He deserves the extra star for going above and beyond. He was able to get everything dismissed, like it never happened.

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.
