A lot of talking without any actions. Except for taking my whole retainer and not even a document being submitted on my behalf. I came with a very large retainer and the he didn’t even complete the requests I asked of him but still justified taking all of my money. Find someone better for family court.

If you're looking for a fair minded, intelligent, responsive lawyer to help you navigate the legal system, Don Saxton is your go to lawyer. He always kept me informed and guided me to a fair and just outcome. Don is very easy to talk with and was available to answer my questions in laymen' terms. He was able to get the justice I deserved in two separate cases. I have full confidence in his ability to negotiate settlements. Thanks Don. When I need a lawyer he'll be my first call.

With out going into details, it was clear Spencer knew the law to a very deep level and was able to not only able to settle the dispute, but give me a clear vision along the way. He gives sound advice on what battles are worth taking and the strategy behind them as well. His efforts and communication helped us get exactly what we were after.

I'm almost two years into a very complicated divorce and Stange Law came into play about a month ago. The team had made a huge impact. Dakota is the lead for my case and he is outstanding. He has tremendous knowledge, a heart in the right place, and he fights hard for what is right and true. We are not done yet but I know he is doing all he can to protect the life of an innocent 11 year old. Thank you Dakota.

I had Manson and they just weren’t knowledgeable, the secretary was very unorganized (they had to be reminded of things rather than keep good records) or strong enough to go against a large corporation like Amazon. I got screwed and I am left after the fact with a tendon injury that conveniently was never found before or during the settlement. I believe KU med gets donations or something from Amazon since they used to be used for their workman’s comp. So I am left with pain in my left wrist and I have to sleep in a sling just so I can hope I have a good day to get anything accomplished. I am left with a disability for life unless it can be operated on at some point. In other words, go with a large law office and read the reviews.

I highly recommend this law firm. I was injured in an auto accident and reached out to them for help. Brice Barnard called me back right away and was so thorough and helpful from the beginning. Brice responded quickly to handling my case. He was very kind, helpful and quick to handle my case. The one thing I really like about VNJ, is that they are very personally connected to their clients. If I had questions or concerns during the process, Brice made sure to respond to me quickly and stay connected one on one through his personal work email and phone. I give this firm 11/10. I was very happy with the outcome of my case and how quick it went! Well done Brice!!!!!

I can not give enough praise to Rick Schleipman! I was injured on a ride in Worlds of fun. Rick Schleipman showed compassion for what I and my family went through. Rick kept me informed of every step of this case. Anyone needing a lawyer who cares, I’d say Rick!

Language is funny – it can mean different things to different people; terms and phrases can have multiple meanings, and tone associated with use can definitely have a bearing on comprehension.
When choosing an attorney, what do we listen/look for? What’s important? It depends upon your case and the attorney-client candor. Attorney-client candor involves language and the language defines your comfort index with the attorney and your perceived interpretation/bearing that the attorney will have upon your case.
Regarding the case, there are many differences and similarities from one case to another. Someone recommending a lawyer and telling you, “Oh he was nice…,” that’s not a referral I want to hear! Because of the many variables involved; during that initial interview, I think it is important to ask the best questions that you can manage and hopefully it’s not a one-way conversation.
I needed a lawyer, the first law office spoken to did not get my case because of language and the one sidedness of the initial conversation. I had questions and I needed answers in as much I was asked to divulge information. I ended up working with Brice Barnard of VNJ Law Office. I received the best settlement that I could hope for, my stress factor was low relatively speaking, and I’m satisfied with the outcome. I can’t tell you how to pick an attorney, but I can tell you that the above concerns worked in guiding me. The rating that I am posting is relevant to “my” satisfaction with the VNJ Law Office.

Rebecca is a great communicator, explained things well as we went along. Unfortunately, through no fault of hers, the case was continued multiple times. I paid only one up front retainer. When my son was going to step in to my place for me, he paid a small retainer up front. Ultimately, the case was withdrawn and Rebecca refunded his retainer. We both found her to be very warm, caring, and honest.

Matthew, Tim, Kandy, Bianca, Steve were all instrumental. Their team is impeccable. They’re professional, responsive, have great communication, and are extremely helpful. I’m blown away by this team.

He treated me in the most unkind way. The reviews on here have to be FAKE. I had a case where my daughter was o the spectrum and was bitten by a dog and he rushed me to settle and then threatened me. All that I got out of that was a couple hundred dollars. I think he knew the doctor who owned the dog. .

Contacted Mike prior to meeting with him and explained who dr.'s were involved over the phone. Stated that I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Met with him. However, wasn't told there was a conflict of interest until after he reviewed my medical records when I called him the next day. Dr.'s involved didn't change from one day to the next.

I fell out of a tree while working for a company called Cornelison Roofing. We were cutting some trees down and away from home we were working on. A branch that had been cut fell into my ladder while I was on it, 24 ft in the air. The branch twisted my ladder and I fell. When I hit the ground my forearm received a compound fracture. The company had no insurance or workman's comp. So I hired Russ Purvis. To make a long story short ,Russ represented me through several hearings and a deposition of Rick Cornelison the owner of the company. This case was dragged out for 4 years. Me. Cornelison kept telling a different version of what happened to the Judge. We finally caught him in a lie and the Judge set a date for final judgement hearing. Russ contacted me and said the hearing would be about 5 weeks down the road. And that he was pretty sure we would get a favorable judgement. But finding Mr. Cornelisons money could be a problem. The last thing Russ said was he would contact me with the final hearing date. I waited for several months and was never contacted. Finally I called Montee law firm where Russ Purvis was working and his former paralegal told me he had quit the firm a few weeks earlier, and that he quit my case, and that he informed me he was quitting through the mail. She or He or both, lied to me. I received no notification at all. And why would he leave my case when the last hearing was about to happen, with a favorable outcome forseen? Also it was past the time limit for me to hire a different attorney . Now two years later I've got bill collectors hounding me for the 82,000 dollar surgery and rehab that was incurred because of my injury. And now my arm hurts me constantly. So bottom line is I think there were some shady dealings going on between Russ Purvis, and Rick Cornelison. I did find out they grew up in same area together, and it just doesn't make sense why Russ would quit my case when judgement was so near. So if anyone has any ideas I'm open to suggestions on what I should do.

In the summer of 2008 my late husband Cecil and I were involved in a severe motor vehicle accident that totaled our only vehicle. We were both injured and required prolonged hospital stays, resulting in huge medical bills. Mr. Purvis came highly recommended to my husband and I. We were not disappointed, he met us in our home and explained to us the situation and how he would handle our case. Mr. Purvis put our minds at ease. Within 3 days he had a check for our totaled vehicle that he hand delivered to our home. Mr. Purvis fought the insurance to make sure that we got the best settlement. We are very grateful for his hard work and the personal attention he showed to my husband and I. I have and would continue to recommend Mr. Purvis to anyone in need of a hard working and caring attorney.

I was injured in a car accident in April of 2011 I hired Mr. Purvis to represent me in this case. A person pulled out in front of me and I suffered a broken arm. I had to have surgery to repair the broken bone. I was out of work for almost 4 months. My car also suffered quite a bit of damage, luckily Mr. Purvis and his team were able to get my car fixed in a timely fashion, even though the insurance company tried to drag their feet. I was overwhelmed by how much he seemed to care about my situation, he listened to my story and my concerns. He and his team were always available to answer any and all of my questions. He handled the conversations with my and the other persons insurance company to have my car repaired, obtaining a rental car while mine was being repaired, and also recovered a sizable settlement that helped with my lost wages, car repairs, hospital bills, and overall distress of the situation. I definitely recommend Mr. Purvis for your legal needs. He and his team are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, expirienced and just overall incredible!

I started working with Sam 2 years ago before he started working at Dipasquale Moore. My case lasted just under 2 years. My settlement was just last week. Sam admitted that he was not communicating well with me. This lasted for nearly a year and half before another attorney from his firm had to take over my case. Would not recommend.

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.
