Horrible Attorney, I would not recommend her to anyone. Last year I was in desperate need of an animal attorney in Houston. I reached out to her. What a mistake, she had no time for me, she kept trying to talk over me, she was just not interested in helping.

Been a member for I don't know how many years and have been fortunate enough to never need to draw my weapon, especially in these crazy times. So today I get a flyer in the mail offering two-for-one additional coverages that cover what seemed to be a lot of the stuff I already signed up for way back when. So I have a chat with a rep to see what I lost and what I'm now covered for. The rep couldn't tell me anything about my current coverage other than identity theft protection which seems weird. So I do some research on them and find out they're run by an insurance company. I signed up to begin with because I thought US LawShield was a group of lawyers offering this service. No, the insurance company hires the cheapest lawyer they can find to defend the client. Being run by an insurance company is a MASSIVE red flag so today I have deleted the card they have on file to process my monthly payment and have officially quit USLS. Now to see if they somehow charge me this month even though my card is supposedly deleted from their system...

This attorney is extremely dishonest. She promises you the world but has no spine to stand up for you when opposing party changes counsel and the opposing counsel is stronger. She is not on your side and will even plot against you for her benefit. Avoid Jessica Burkett at all cost for the sake of your family and your children. If she is scared of opposing counsel, she will stop at nothing to sacrifice you and what's in your family's best interest. She put my daughter in danger. On top of that, she was a total nightmare to deal with and made problems so much worse for me and my daughter. Her e-mail to me was extremely hurtful and proved she had no intention of listening to her clients or trying to understand them. This was of course AFTER she takes your hard-earned money. I have no clue why she even wants to practice law if she's not willing to grow a spine and a backbone for their own clients.

Jessica is AMAZING. She helped my ex in a child custody case that was pretty intense. She had a plan of action, STRONG understanding of the process, clear explanation of what to expect (good and bad). She was stern when needed. You could tell how much work and compassion she put into the case and she really truly was an advocate for the kids. I would absolutely recommend her.

This law firm was supposed to obtain compensation for me as part of a class action lawsuit (I have an implanted medical device that can break free at any moment and kill me). They determined my risk was only worth $17k. Then, after they deducted their cut, they deducted further "time and expenses", sending me a check for a whopping $6200. This is pure greed; they have no conscience!

I want people to know that this firm has been a rip off. I waited 8years to get something from a IVC filter lawsuit that medical left my health a living nightmare. I was told like a lot of people to take the settlement it the best you can get and it should settle within 6 months it took another 3 years are longer ( I'm 66 years old so some of my time line my be off) Point being between lawyers a lien and this so call Gobal Medicare Lein that you were never told about I did not receive one single dime. But all the lawyer firm that Matthew & Matthew used and the cost of Acher LLC that also they never mentioned to and of us they got paid. Never again will I use this firm again. I pray that anyone that is involved with them in a class suit really pay attention to the real reviews that people are posting not the ones that say how great a firm this is. Alao it will take forever for you to receive a call or correspondence from them until they are trying to say face for what they know is really bad representation of some of there clients

Mr. Lemanski is an attorney that truly care for and listen to his clients. He was willing to take a case that most attorneys declined because those attorneys were looking for a huge settlements or were intimidated by the opposing counsel. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and was beyond patience explaining how the process works. He is empathic and realistic about settlements and deserves the five star rating and above for his professionalism and his ability to communicate with all parties. I would not hesitate to refer Mr. Lemanski to anyone needing guidance.

Wes & Anne are truly a blessing! 5 stars isn’t enough to describe this team! After having had switch lawyers due to my ex attorney sitting on my case for nearly 7 months doing absolutely nothing,I was at a standstill with a bad taste left over. Had a close friend recommend Wes,reached out to him that night & received a phone call at 8am that morning. When I say this guy is on it,I mean he is literally ON IT! After our first conversation,I instantly knew that Wes was an honest man…very,very hard to find in this industry! From the minute Wes & Anne took over,I felt WAY more relaxed & confident that they had my stuff all under control. With my ex attorney,I was constantly on edge,stressed,nervous…you name it. After having switched,my family quickly caught drift on my stress levels going down,as well as me being able to rest more due to worrying less all thanks to Wes & Anne working efficiently & effectively! These two are the most humble, hard working people I’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths with! Communication was NEVER an issue,the updates were constant,even when they were on their personal time! Wes talks to you like a friend,making it easy to tell him anything & everything without any judgment! This duo has your back & will fight for you WITHOUT A DOUBT!

My wife and I have been working with D. miller and Ramesh and his team for 3.5 years now. My wife was in a nasty car accident that was a hit n run. Our insurance company left us high and dry by fixing a car that had 78% damage to value, and not paying for her medical bills that were in excess of $400,000. Thanks to D. miller and Associates, we have won the case and are currently in the process of getting bills paid. Thank you for all the help! And for those that are commenting about not getting responses, keep in mind that yes you have a case…but you’re not the only case they are handling…plus due to covid-19, they have lost a lot of staff! Please be have some patients…they haven’t forgotten about you!

I was hit in an auto accident which totaled my car and sent me to physical therapy for 6 months. My car was paid off so I also got a car-note as a result of the accident. I reached out to D. Miller and associates and at first all calls were promptly answered and they sought out all my medical expenses. Over time it started taking more and more time to get responses. At first it was by the end of the week, but that changed to months. In Dec. almost two years since the accident, I was sent a text telling me we were awarded a settlement and asked if I agreed to the amount. I agreed eventually, however that was Dec. I have requested updated info in Mar. and Apr. But noone responds to messages any more. I feel as if whatever I was supposed to get I never will.

Ms. Fridie had my case for over 4 years and just sat on it and wouldn't file my motion. She never returned my calls for over two years and I only spoke with her receptionist, that is, if I could get through to someone. If I got their answering service, they probably never forward the messages. I've even used their client portal and still didn't hear from her so I had to hire another attorney. When my new attorney reviewed my case, they said that the paperwork was wrong, and now since it was on record, I will never get relief. Due to her laziness and incompetence, I have lost my case even before I went to trial. She owes me my life and $5000.00! She needs to be disbarred!

Not only did I lose my money, but also lost over 2 yrs of trying to help me with my case, she communicated very good with me at the beginning, after I paid for my case, I was not able to speak with her anymore, only with receptionist and her secretary, I was never on the loop of what was going on with my case, I had to chase them for info and if I did not call every month things were not moving, also answering service is the worst, they would keep me on hold for up to 30 min and passing call around, they treat you very rude and have no compassion for what the client is going through. I mention this to Fridie and secretary but no changes were done with answering service. Overall I would give negative stars but I can only pick one.

I hired this law firm . They came highly recommended. Never met the attorney or spoke to him. The assistant that was working for him was fired after almost 6 months. I have been told lies after lies. I was never told why. On a simple personal injury case it's been almost a year! I have yet to talk to the attorney or his wife other than his new assistant. I have asked on a number of occasions why this case is taking so long, no answer! I keep getting the run around. I believe the insurance company has already issued my check to the attorneys office and they are giving me the run around. To this date this case has not been settled!

They will twist the story around and let you do a very very long maximum sentence in prison over a very very very serious accusation that was so dam false to begin with. Even a dummy could read the fine print and have common sense. Beware! Just keep it moving and hire yourself a real good professional. But…“Instead they should be called the criminals and of the state for allowing such behavior of a dirty trial from the officers, detectives, to the jury and then to the judge….not to mention the cross examiners and cross examination they did was very questionable how can you allow such verdict without sufficient evidence let alone a minor was interviewed without permission of a parent. They will violate your constitutional rights from left to right but they will fight to keep themselves standing innocent at the cost of what?? An innocent man’s life. I’m sure this isn’t the first time they do something this dirty but I do believe more proper investigation shall be given in any case given that will jeopardize someone’s impeccable life…to be exact this all happened in the city of Montgomery County Texas to be Exact….

I hired Mr. Barnes, thinking that he would be able to help me with my DBA claim by obtaining a reasonable compensation for my injuries sustained in Afghanistan. What seemed like an open-and-shut case, turned into almost 2 years of cat-and-mouse chase. Mr. Barnes never showed any compassion, presented vague goals, and came up with various excuses to bury this case, until disappearing all together. If you want an attorney who, instead of representing your interests, will lie to you and abet an insurance company - then Mr. Barnes is your lawyer. Otherwise find someone else.

He is the worst. He was never even clear on the facts of my case. Two weeks before trial he couldn't even remember the basic facts. He allowed first year associates to argue motions that led to crucial mistakes in trial testimony. He never listened to his co- counsel and slept during closing arguments. Of course we lost our case, which should never have been a loss. He took a huge percentage of our funds so he'd never be out a dime if he lost even though it was a contingency case. There are no excuses for his unprofessional inexcusable content. He'd rather be teaching bible study. NEVER HIRE HIS FIRM.

Do NOT hire him or anyone from the Crim Law Firm. He is quick to get you to sign a contract but did nothing for me. I never saw the Demand Letter prior to it going out. He got the information wrong and it was denied. I never received calls back from him and seldom responses to my emails. The response to the Demand letter was also never shared with me and this was withheld from my case file. He did no investigation on his own. He did not want to litigate the case based on the erroneous information from the Demand letter. He only wants to settle cases from his desk chair. IF YOU WANT AN ATTORNEY WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME AND INITIATIVE TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE YOUR CASE AND FIGHT FOR YOU, DO NOT USE HIM OR THIS FIRM. I am also filing a complaint with the Texas Bar for withholding file information and lack of communication.

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.
