First and foremost I want to just let everyone know that this man/ lawyer is a gift from God and I’m not just saying that he truly is. I had so much going on at one point in my life I had cases everywhere and he took on my case where I was facing time behind bars and let me tell you I could always get in touch with him it was never a phone call that he did not pick up and he is not a lawyer that once he’s paid he ignores you, he’s sharp, smart has a good working relationship with prosecutors. I could go on and on about what an outstanding law firm this is and they never make you feel like you’re a bad person , even if you are guilty of what you’ve been charged. Randy always sees the bright side of things if you’re going through a case that’s tough Ferguson and Ferguson is the law firm to choose. I would recommend Ferguson and Ferguson 1000% especially if you’ve been charged with a crime that could get you a felony and time behind bars . They do exactly what you ask and I was looking at a class A or B felony and Randy got it reduced to a misdemeanor, no jail time and unsupervised probation. You can’t really name that many lawyers that can do that , but if you want a great outcome then it’s Ferguson and Ferguson who you want to go with. I don’t usually do reviews but Randy did such a phenomenal job in my case I have to recommend them. Randy is smart , honest and hard-working and he’s going to do the best job for you so make sure you choose them if you’re going through a case that could affect your life because these lawyers truly care about what happens with your life. Ferguson and Ferguson is the right choice.

I am very pleased with how Morris Lilienthal and Sara Barnes handled my personal injury case. After being injured in a car accident, I was overwhelmed when I discovered what would be involved in my recovery ( doctor's appointments, physical therapy and time off of work, etc.). I quickly realized I would need an attorney to assist me through the process. Morris and Sara handled everything for me so I could recover without added stress. They kept me informed of what was going on throughout the process. I would like to thank Morris and Sara for helping me during a difficult time in my life. If you are in need of a personal injury attorney, Morris is your man.

So thankful we chose their firm to represent us in this very complicated car accident case.

Over the years I’ve used I just trial lawyers for many of my families needs. Dan handle the conservatorship and estate needs. Jeremiah helped with a wrongful death suit. And Courtney has helped with the family court cases. I am always amazed at the compassion and quality of legal services Hodges trial lawyers provide. It’s also very convenient to have all of my attorneys under one roof.

After sustaining a work related injury in February 2014, I quickly realized that I would need legal representation. A friend and work colleague recommended Mr. Blackwell.
Mr. Blackwell and his paralegal, Nicole Brown, take every case very, very seriously. Mr. Blackwell is able to explain the complicated legal process in very simple terms. Mr. Blackwell and Nicole, dedicate themselves to providing the best legal representation available today. Mr. Blackwell is a fighter and uses every strategy possible to win the best settlement possible with the evidence and material at hand. His attention to detail is what makes Mr. Blackwell such a great lawyer.
It should be noted that, Mr. Blackwell doesn’t advertise on television, billboards, plaques or other media outlets. He relies solely upon references from his large list of satisfied clients.
Rest assured, Mr. Blackwell will take a case to trial if need be, to get the best possible outcome for a case. All of the lawyers you see advertising on the various media outlets, avoid going to court at all cost and will settle a case, out of court, often at the expense of their client.
Mr. Blackwell is well respected as an injury lawyer by his peers and Judges alike. In my case, opposing council was well aware that Mr. Blackwell would take my case to trial if an amicable settlement couldn’t be reached. That said, Mr. Blackwell forced opposing council to meet his demands to the letter.
After Mr. Blackwell was satisfied that we’d achieved the best possible settlement, opposing council, Mr. Blackwell and myself went to open court to have a Judge review and approve the settlement. In front of the Judge, I was interviewed by Mr. Blackwell and opposing council with regards to the settlement. Then, the Judge interviewed me to make sure that I was in agreement with the settlement too. After the Judge was satisfied on all counts, he addressed me by saying that he knew and respected Mr. Blackwell professionally and that he’s an outstanding injury case lawyer and that he believes that Mr. Blackwell has brought my case to the best possible conclusion.
In closing, I will personally recommend Mr. Blackwell and his staff to anyone that has an injury claim and needs the best possible legal representation.

Jeff Blackwell and his associate, Jennifer McKown, did an excellent job on my case. They paid attention to every detail of a complex case and were always one step ahead of the game. They are very knowledgeable, excellent lawyers, and are also kind and caring people. They have good, professional relationships with other lawyers and judges, which gives them good leverage in negotiating. Their professionalism and calm demeanors made the process smoother and less traumatic than it could have been. They also secured a very good outcome in my case.

I worked for the biggest tree company in the United States. After a on job injury in 2011, a friend recommended Tara Helms. Tara met with me and told me I had a good case and immediately got to work. She kept in touch with me when anything that came up in my case. I received e-mails, phone calls, and copies of all papers of my case. Tara kept assuring me that everything was going well with the case. I think Tara goes above and beyond for her clients, she really knows her stuff. After everything was done Tara got me about 50 x's what they had offered me. I highly recommend Tara Helms.

While working as a Social Worker I was both sexually assaulted, raped and physically beaten. Then and this is what a lot of people find more shocking then what actually happened to me physically is that I was sued by the County for being raped. If that is not nasty enough they hired private investigators to follow me around to and from my doctor appointments. It is hard very hard to get over being attacked the way that I was it does not help the healing process along to know that you are being followed again.
All by being assigned to case that did not meet our programs criteria. I had met with my supervisor three times that day explaining how this case did not meet our safety parameters for predominantly the children of the case I was given but time and time again she chose to keep her case numbers high and safety of those we were sworn to serve secondary at best.
Even after all of this you will have a hard time finding an attorney willing to one go to court secondly go to court against a municipality like a county. I went through several prior to meeting Tara that just weren't up to the challenge for one reason or another. I really had began to give up on finding an attorney that had the inner and outer fight needed for this kind of case. No attorney was going to make a lot of money of this case it was just a matter of finding someone that would do the right thing. If there is anyone better then Tara and more dedicated I have yet to meet them. She is a fighter, her record is amazing and most of all she really cares. Not quality's you find in many people these days. can't imagine recommending another attorney for anything.

I had a very hard and difficult case that was not going to make Mrs.Helms a great deal of money but was going to require a great deal of hard work and willingness to go to court which a lot of attorney's do not want to do in fact I went through three attorneys prior to meeting and deciding to go with Mrs.Helms. She is a fighter and will work tirelessly to win all the cases she takes. Her record is impressive her dedication remarkable. It is my belief after meeting and going through several local attorneys regarding my case that you will not find anyone better nor more professional.

Bart represented me in a case against one of the largest Insurance Companies.
Bart's counsel, guidance and advice combined with his ability to navigate the legal system and use his knowledge of the law were the reasons we won. His willingness to listen to the complaint then find the flaws when the responsible party attempted to avoid reponsibility, were expert level. His ability to untangle a complicated situation and find a way to assure proper justice and secure victory when I thought it was hopeless, far exceeded expectations. His patient, firm method and tenacity forced the opposition to do the right thing and own their responsibility and make the restitution they attempted to deny.
Thank you Bart!

I consulted Mr.Tewalt on my husbands immigration case. He was kind and patient and listened to all the facts of the case. When I finished, Mr.Tewalt helped us find a solution at no cost. He did not charge a consultation fee as promised and refused to take payment for his service. A truly honest attorney is hard to find. I have been to many attorneys for this case and he was the only one who refused to just take a retainer and get back to me.

I almost gave up on searching for a lawyer because no one would take my case until I called Michael Auffenorde's office. He knew the obstacles we would encounter in the case and handled them with little to no problem at all. Everyone at his office was comforting and wanted the absolute best for me!

When I was hit from behind in a car wreck, I made the mistake of first calling a billboard attorney's phone number. I was given a young lawyer who couldn't answer my questions and didn't return my phone calls. When I hired Mr. Auffenorde I could not have been more pleased. Not only did he return my phone calls, but he explained the process and guided us through a difficult experience. I couldn't be more pleased with the result he achieved.

I was introduced to Hunter Garnett by a co-worker in reference to an ongoing class action lawsuit. Hunter carefully walked me through the claims process and ensured that my information was appropriately submitted. Hunter’s attention to detail and diligence with requesting the appropriate information from me ensured the successful addition to the class action. I will utilize Hunter again if requires legal assistance. True professional.

Hunter came to my rescue after an auto accident where I sustained a traumatic brain injury. While working through the case, he showed compassion and patience during each conversation, worked tirelessly through the details, and provided guidance with great integrity. He made sure the case closed with my greater good in mind. Now, 3 1/2 years after healing has occurred, I look back and marvel even more at how well he served me when I would not have known otherwise.

Rebekah has been so professional and understanding in guiding me through the end of a 13 year divorce, signing the last papers with his widow and now finding the legal documents that gave me my maiden name back 22 years ago. Social Security records still had my married name which really complicated all of my medical appts and health insurance. She quickly focused on the issue (although I interrupted her packed week of meetings and litigation), saved me from having to fight this in probate and
I now have my name back. I couldn’t be more grateful or relieved.

Success in law requires a bit of boldness which attorney Clay Martin brought during the representation. Regarding the legal aspect, Clay was articulate, knowledgeable, thorough and effective. On the client side, he took personal interest investing time in me and my family responding to return messages and phone calls with assurance and thoughtfulness.
Having been the recipient of a rear end collision I was left badly injured and incapable of managing legal matters on my own. Attorney Clay Martin offered relief from all the outside stressors so that I could focus on what was really important, my health. I made appointments and met with both a large, known, regional law firm as well as Clay Martin. I immediately knew Clay was the perfect fit for my personal and professional legal needs. I felt comfort in the presence of Clay. He new my name and profession (important given that the accident occurred while working) which automatically trumped the other attorney. But more importantly he took his time upon the initial visit reviewing legalize, the hurdles we would likely face and options in moving forward. Clay invested in me as a client by giving his time responding to every email and phone call from my family and I in a timely manner. I also felt his specialized knowledge and expertise in personal injury for 20+ years was greater than I’d receive in a large law firm where any old random attorney was assigned.
If you’re seeking a professional, informative, knowledgeable and caring attorney specializing in personal injury, automotive accidents and wrongful death, I highly recommend choosing Clay Martin.

Tyler represented me several years ago when he worked for a high profile, local clown after I was passed around the office, stalled, and mislead by the large, robotic staff. Much to my relief, Tyler's personable nature and strong efforts were instant indications he truly cared for those he represented and their circumstances and had their best interest at heart. I was very satsified with Tyler's representation and recommend him to all. Glad you made it out of that place, Tyler!

I used Charles Pittman as my law firm after my wreck. Tyler Mann was assigned to my case. I had a broken sternum, neck, and back and Tyler kept trying to push me to settle my case without going to court. I walked away with less than $1,300 for myself and I have had to go thru years of pain management, MRI's, injections, etc ALL from my own insurance bc I listened to him that "this was the best offer we were going to get". So now I have to have my insurance pay for everything and live in pain every day, when I could have had a major settlement. I would not recommend Tyler Mann to anyone.

Tyler Mann truly came to my rescue and provided professional legal assistance and services that were fair, just, sound, and timely. After having dealt with other over the top & very commercialized attorneys in town, I resulted to handling things on my own which became very stressful and overwhelming to me. After seeing one of his commercials, I decided to call & meet with Mr. Mann. Resultantly, I turned over 2 auto accident/personal injury cases over to him that I had been personally working for over 1 year. My cases were very personal to me and I wanted an attorney that would treat them just the same. I wanted the attorney I saw on TV to represent me not someone else associated with the practice. Mr. Mann did just that; he took both my cases personal and personally. He took away & took on all my stresses and stressors; he listened with care, he kept me informed and in the loop; he didn't make offers or negotiate without consulting with me; he provided sound legal advice and kept it real and respectful. He settled both my cases out of court within a few months and at a sum greater than I ever thought I would be due. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney possessing great business savvy. He is awesome.

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.
