What can I truly say about Tania Rivas and her team? The first time that I worked with Rivas Law Group, it was regarding a car accident. It was a very obvious, no questions asked case. However, it involved myself and 3 of my children. It was also a multi-vehicle case. She handled my family with such care. So when I was injured in 2019 and realized the magnitude of my injuries and the precariousness of the situation, I immediately called her. For the last 3 years, thanks to covid, she, Oralis, and the rest of her team have worked diligently on my claim. Personal injury claims are not easy to deal with on your own and the world would risk bamboozling you into thinking your life or injury is not worth it. From the start, she was confident in my case and her team has been with me every step of the way. Whether it is easier for you to communicate via text, phone, or email; they don't make it difficult for you to get justice. I highly recommend Rivas Law Group. My family, including my mother, always recommend Rivas Law Group to our friends and family and they have not been disappointed when they let her and her team handle their claim. I truly appreciate everything they have done! Although, I hope I never REQUIRE their services again, I guarantee if I need representation Rivas Law Group will be the only one I call!! Thanks Rivas Law Group!

My mom had a bad accident and hired Ms Lopez. Her insurance wasn't covering her medical bills and the person who hit her had insurance, but they were giving her the "run around" Ms Lopez was extremely compassionate and contacted us regularly to give updates. She got the ball rolling right away and my mom got medical care right away! We were happy with the settlement she was offered, but I'm confident if it needed to go to trial we had the right attorney for the task! Thank you so much!

My husband and I retained Garrett Gaa twice to help us navigate a foster care/custody situation and represent us in court. We live outside the state of Florida which my our situation difficult. Garrett and his staff provided excellent counsel and support during this process. Garrett was on top of the case every step of the way and kept us informed in a timely manner. He was honest with us about our rights and what we could expect based on Florida law. He accompanied us to the court hearing and explained what to expect during the proceedings prior to entering the courtroom. Garrett demonstrated his knowledge of Florida law during his management of our case. He treated us with dignity, respect and was empathetic to our situation. His fees were reasonable and he was accurate and fair with billable hours and associated costs. When I read a review about an attorney, I want to read that they are honest, fair and knowledgeable. Garrett Gaa possess those character traits and more. I would hire Garrett again should I need assistance in Florida. He is an excellent attorney.

I went to visit Garrett about six months ago. He was just a regular dude- very open, professional, and approachable. I was seeking timeshare/custody modification for my two boys. He had been studying how to litigate against former spouses with personality disorders. This was the attorney I needed because my former is the abusive, manipulative, cunning, lying, narcissistic, cray cray, anorexic, alcoholic type . I was pretty excited to find the right guy for the job. Unfortunately, his boss did not want to take the case because of a conflict of interest. Garrett did give me the professional courtesy of telling me the conflict was that his boss was friends with the uncle of my former spouse. Whatever. Garrett is a good dude, his boss kinda sucks, but oh well. I am still able to contact him from time to time for encouragement when I get down while I am going through current litigation even though he has no obligation to do so. That is really cool of him. I would recommend this guys to someone who needs an expert in custody litigation, especially if their former spouse has personality disorders.

BBB being a mediation platform was unable to resolve the issue so I contacted Moore Law Office and after one phone call from Attorney Moore the case was settled within 2 weeks.

This is in regards to a slip and fall accident I had on September 23, 2013. This slip and fall caused injury to my left knee and middle of my back. Because of this slip and fall I had a meniscus tear, strained ligament and plica problem with my left knee, a bulge in one of my discs in my back. Because of this I had to undergo months of physical therapy, ended up having left knee surgery and then continuing physical therapy for another couple of months. I hired Moody Law firm in order for them to assist me with getting my medical bills paid etc.. I cannot thank them enough for their assistance during this horrible time in my life, from the very beginning until the close of this case they were extremely helpful, kind and considerate of the situation. Mr. Spurgin (who is one of the lawyers with Moody Law) was not only very professional and knowledgeable in these matters; but was extremely kind and understanding in all aspects of this situation. His legal staff were exceptional, there was never a time I could not reach them with any questions, concerns I may have had during this case. They answered every question and concern I had, whether it was a simple one to a difficult one. I always received the utmost care, concern and felt as if I were the only case they had. Never once did I feel as if they did not care, or I was just a “number”. This law firm is exceptional in the way they handle each individual person. They show the utmost care, understanding and definitely go above and beyond their duties as personal injury lawyers. I will be forever indebted to them, because not only did they solve my case; but they stood by me every step of the way through-out the legal process, explaining every step, or question I may have had through-out this ordeal. They never once looked upon any of my questions, concerns as minor and replied back to me immediately. It was a stressful time for me having to experience a slip and fall injury, but they truly made the process easier due to their care, concern and regard of not just the injury itself; but of me as a person. Whilst I was experiencing this injury to include the pain, the inability to be able to function normally because of it and all the physical therapy, surgery it entailed. But during this time my sister was diagnosed with cancer, and ultimately died from it. So, not only were they very supportive of my personal injury, they were extremely supportive of what I was going through whilst trying to cope with my sister’s illness and ultimate death. I most certainly was blessed having them on “my side” so to speak, and will be (as I stated before) eternally grateful to all of them, they really do go above and beyond and are an exceptional law

If you are looking for a lawyer that has integrity and delivers results look no further than Dan Moody.

I hired Dean Burnettilaw firm after personal injury. I broke my neck . I spent 4 years trying to get this resolved. I went through 4 different legal assistants. Had to explain to all 4 about my case. They barely returned any calls, emails, texts. A couple of times they thought I was another client . They got my information mixed up several times. I see poke with Mr Burnetti on a Friday afternoon, he said an agreement had been met and he would call me that following Monday with the details. Several weeks went by, just before the limit of time for my case was I g I t a notification my case had been dropped. I made several calls , no answers. I never received the settlement. I too decided to hire this attorney because he seemed like an honest Christian. I will forever have hardships from my accident, including financial. He did nothing for me.

I am a single father of a five-year-old Little girl and also pay child support on another daughter. This law firm and their reckless and inept Doctor financially wrecked my family. Choosing this law firm was the worst possible mistake I could've made. Please do not make the same mistake. I was victimized more by Burnetti Pa's Jeff Diamond and Sarah and their Doctors than the actual person that caused the accident. At least he was honest and admitted to what he did. The driver that hit me told the police he was looking at his phone, and another driver with a dash cam sent me a copy of the accident on video. AND THEY STILL MANAGED TO RUIN MY CASE. And when I asked them to address the problems that was going on in the case they told me I was asking them to do something unethical or illegal. Since when is asking someone to do their job a reason for such allegations. I sat around over 6 weeks not working thinking the matter was taken care of and further running my family into to debt to get by based on counting on Burnetti Pa. The doctor's office called Physicians Group on Himes Ave that they sent me to completely wrecked the case over a simple mistake. And instead of owning up to the mistake and correcting it they all left me and my daughter to suffer for their wrong. And I had to catch the mistake, the attorney didn't even know. I have 3 college degrees and I assure you I can tell when a Dr tells me to go back to work or not. Physicians Group on Himes Ave do not care one single bit if you and your family get your money as long as they get their medical bills paid. There has been constant legal problems for Physicians group and them taking advantage of people through it's founders the 1800 Ask Gary and 411 pain networks. Google 411 pain and Physicians group. This is who Burnetti aligns themselves with. YOU ARE JUST A NUMBER TO THEM BOTH. They both want to run up medical bills that is what they do. The only thing that Burnetti PA was aggressive about was getting me to sign away my case to them and from there they did nothing. A month after accepting my case they still did not have the police report and I had to go get it myself and fight with the insurance company myself to get them to take liability for the case. And even though their investigator and Jeff Diamond told me they would help me with my car repairs if I needed it that turned out to be a lie just to get me to sign with their firm. Later they informed me they do not handle that. Lol. That's unethical and illegal. This firm has caused my family a lot of undue stress please do not make the same mistake. The firm and the doctor's office knew that me and my daughter just lost our best friend that was like family to cancer the prior week and they still could not be bothered to return a call or do their job and left me suffering all holiday weekend. Worst law firm ever. I was trying to buy a home for me and my little girl and now I am pawning things to pay rent with no relief in sight BECAUSE OF THEM. BEWARE!! PS That Dr Office employee was so rude to my 5 year old lil girl the first time I brought her I didn't have the heart to make her go back with me. I had to cancel appointments to not have to bring her back. My kid wouldn't stop bringing it up, seriously.

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.
