Kristi came highly recommended by a long time District Court Judge. He described her legal ability as second to none in the area. Following a vicious pit bull attack while on duty as a Deputy Sheriff, I retained Kristi who works as a team with Jay Flynn. Kristi formulted a plan for the case and began sending me to doctors for formal and professionally documented evaluations. After a year of medical examinations from the defense and our side, The defense requested to mediate. This is where Kristi's ability really shined. For sake of a long description, Kristi's negotiating skills with the Insurance company was BRILLIANT. We had an initial offer of $100K to $125K to $145K. Ultimately she secured me a $220,000 settlement with reduced cost to L&I. I was so pleased with the out come. She was outstanding in every way!

I can't begin to say how much I appreciate the time and effort Kristina put on my case. I was injured in an auto accident and Kristina kept working for me to get the best result possible. It took a little bit longer than average, but it was worth it as Kristina worked with me, kept me informed every step of the way and always discussed my options. I wound u with a little more than I expected and it was a result of Kristina's work and belief in my case. If you are in need of someone who honestly cares about you more than a percentage of your settlement, call Kristina!

Kristi and her partner Jay Flynn represented me in my personal injury case after I was hurt at work and lost my right leg. Kristi is very smart and works her butt off to make sure her clients get the most out of their resolvement. She knows the laws like most Pastors know the bible. I was amazed by her knowledge and the power she presented in a court room. Kristi is an amazing lawyer and I would recommend her and Jay to anyone needing legal representation for personal injury

John has helped me on a few occasions. He is very prompt and will do an excellent job going through the pros and cons of your situation. I even found myself fighting disputes in an outside county and he referred me to a colleague whom also was excellent. I couldn't have asked for better outcomes at all times. I will continue to use him for all me legal needs.

Did I mention integrity? Mr. Shultz came recommended by an attorney in Spokane. When meeting with him, he explains the pros and cons of each option, with patience and clarity, often providing examples from his decades of experience. He is well connected in the legal and business communities. He follows up on his commitments EXACTLY as agreed upon. He usually takes calls out of the blue, and when he doesn't, he readily returns calls, generally that day. He has never talked down to my wife or I, and is a gentleman to the core. He is a extremely pleasant individual with a great sense of humor. After hiring him to resolve an issue with a deadbeat contractor, which he did, he has provided me advice on other legal concerns without asking for reimbursement. Overall, his time and cost charges are extremely fair and reasonable. We put 5K down as a retainer, and received a good portion back after the issue was resolved. He has in depth knowledge and experience in a wide swath of legal areas. In the legal field of the Tri City area, Mr. Schultz is a blinding white beacon among a plethora of dim lights. He is the ONLY lawyer I would recommend PERIOD.

Excellent experience and result. Everything one could expect from a law office. The level of respect towards client concerns and opinions was of particular note.
Despite some unusual machinations, they stayed on my case and obtained a settlement amount which surprised both parties. "Hats off" to Brian, Ned and the team. Real integrity.

I am a business owner...I found Brian online and decided to contact him regarding a contractor who had not paid for work that we had performed...I contacted other attorneys but decided to hire Brian because of our initial conversation...in our initial conversation he showed knowledge of the laws and was very clear on the steps he would take to get payment for me...Fortunately Brian stayed on top of things and called the contractor many times...took Brian 20 days to collect payment from contractor, while I had been trying to collect payment for 7 months...
I appreciate Brians work and will be using him for any legal advice and future issues...He did a great job with my case and highly recommend him to anyone who is needing legal assistance...

Brian has continued to do an amazing job of understanding our situations from a Human Resource standpoint and has given us great advice on best practices to navigate difficult situations. He was able to help us clearly outline our risks and guide us through processes to ensure we maintained appropriate business practices with our company's best interest in mind. I would recommend Brian for any Business Practice law and would trust him with all our corporate needs.

My family had a complicated issue regarding TEDRA enforcement. I was repeatedly surprised by his willingness to communicate with us and not just a quick response but by explaining things as we went along. A few short minutes with him and you'll see that he's an honest, humble and honorable man with a high level of integrity. Highly recommend him to anyone. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Richard Gierth was my attorney for a car accident where I was rear-ended by someone with no insurance. He was so helpful and easy to work with. He handled everything from getting me reimbursed for my child's new car seat, having my medical bills paid and he got me a great settlement. I will be recommending him to all my friends and family.

I was injured by the VA and called them to file a claim. They said they don't do Medical Malpractice. It's a typical bait and switch. They are idiots who don't know what the hell they are doing.

I worked for over 50 years as an investigator (of sorts) with dozens of attorneys in our area and got to know most of them very well. When it came time for me to seek out the advice of an attorney, I went to Bill Reinig. Bill is highly experienced, knowledgeable and, most importantly, his focus is on helping his clients and not how much he can charge per hour. On a one to ten scale, I'd put Bill at a 15. If you need the advice of an attorney and it's within Bill's area of expertise, I would strongly suggest you consult with him or one of the other members of his firm. I'm confident you'll be glad you did.

First and foremost: Thank you for representing me. Your services were very much appreciated. The lowering of my medical bills was also pleasant surprise.
My only issue pertains to my attempt to cash the settlement check. My lawyer dropped the ball during the phone call with the bank. He couldn't provide two pieces of information to the bank which meant I'd be given $200 immediately and I would have to wait a week for the rest of the money to be released. Due to that hiccup I had to go to money tree and spend over an hour there for them to release part of the check. I still have to wait until Friday for the rest. 4/5 stars

I was assigned Ms.Wagar by the courts as a court appointed attorney. Ms.Wagar was unreachable by phone and when I tried to make an appointment to meet with her, I was not allowed to do so. I had 4 court dates, each was continued to 3-4 weeks out. Ms. Wagar not one time consulted with me or even spoke to me other than inside the courtroom. No attempt to obtain my story or ask my wishes for the case. The final straw was a court date that I arrived for to find she forgot I was on the docket and didn't bring my file. After a very public discussion at the bar of the courtroom during open court, I was promised the ability to make an appointment. My first and only meeting with Ms. Wagar outside of the courtroom was very unprofessional. She was rude, disrespectful and argumentative. Luckily her law partner intervened decided there was a conflict of interest and asked the courts to be removed as counsel.

I begged for money back after learning that this firm did absolutely nothing for my case. They kept the majority of my retainer and sent me back a box full of the personal matters of another person's case, duplicate copies of my case and letters from opposing counsel begging for Mr. Sperline to stop missing deadlines and comply. Tried contacting Mr. Sperline numerous times to no avail. After I dropped services, the things that I was unfairly billed for months in advance were suddenly filed with the court. NOTE--- AFTER services were cancelled and with no effort on his firms part. I would not recommend in ANY way. Overbilled and under-serviced is an understatement.

Jeff was very good at staying on track with giving legal advice during a very difficult time. His strength was being able to tell you what you need to know and hear instead of what you want to hear. As a mediator he was on top of his game. Mediation can be very challenging when balancing legal advice with the client along with the stresses of the personalities and emotions of the different parties involved.

Mr. Sperline came highly recommended after dissatisfaction with a previous attorney. How refreshing it was to find an attorney that had more concern for the case than for his wallet! I'm certain that his concern for his clients is genuine, and that the investment of his time in each case is out of a sincere desire to do the right thing. He returned calls and emails promptly, gave us the details that we needed to make informed decisions, and gave us his best recommendations. He is an ethical, moral attorney, one to treasure!

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.
