I had the pleasure of working with Tom Soldan, and can't recommend him highly enough. He was committed in going above and beyond to achieve the absolute best results. He didn't just meet expectations - he exceeded them, delivering results even better than expected. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you, Tom is the one.

I had a Traffic Case which was resolved by Eric Demetriades, the best lawyer in DMV. I was super nervous about going to court for the first time, but Mr.Eric Demetriades was Super chill, quick, efficient, confident, and exactly the person you'd want to stand up for you in tough situations. Very blessed that I found him, he saved me from a bad situation, I trusted him throughout the whole process, and I highly recommend him.

I cannot speak highly enough about John Boneta. I was facing a driving offense with the potential to raise my insurance rates and require me to pay a large fine, and John was able to lower it multiple categories and reduce it to just a small fine. He was very pleasant to work with throughout the entire process.

John and his incredible legal team worked me the deal of a lifetime, one that I'm not sure any other lawyer could pull off. I was facing some relatively serious charges carrying a decent amount of jail time and John's deal with the prosecutor minimized that far beyond my expectations. From my bail hearing to my sentencing, John has been very straight forward with managing my expectations, and responding to any questions I may have had, regardless of the time of day. To say that John, Jeffery and their stellar legal team are exceptional in their craft is by far an understatement, as there is no scenario where I could see my outcome going better than it did. If I could leave a sixth star on this review, I would. I would highly recommend hiring John Boneta if you want the best possible outcome in your court case.

I recently reached out to Mr. Mann to represent my son in a case, and was so relieved that I made the right choice. Mr. Mann was on top of everything and not only answered promptly every question of mine, but helped eliminate my anxiety as a mother throughout the entire process. His self-confidence in court, contacts, and in-depth knowledge of how to address details of the case were evident and resulted in a very positive outcome. I have not only been blessed with my choice of Mr. Mann's outstanding legal services which I am so grateful for, but also for his great character as he helped me get through those tough times. I cannot find enough words to express my gratitude, but all I can say is a big THANK YOU! I will give Mr. Mann 10 stars!

Brenda Waugh (Waugh Law & Mediation) mediated our divorce in 2019, which was contentious and difficult on many levels, to include dealing with the legal custody of my then 13-year-old son. Relations between my wife (at the time) and me were poor at best. Brenda offered a comforting, professional demeanor and environment that ensured both of us maintained our composure and allowed us to get through the challenging emotional issues associated with dividing physical and financial assets and, more important, determining how to raise my son in a post-divorce world. I was pleased and impressed with everything Brenda did to prepare the required documents to present to the judge for review, consideration, and final decision. I have great respect for Brenda and recommend her without reservation for legal mediation services.

The wose experience I've ever had with a law firm. SG LAW is rotten from top to bottom. They are lazy, rude, incompetent, irresponsible, and very dishonest. A corrupt group of charlatans pretending to serve their clients best interest. They serve there own self interest. Ryan Schmmalzle, I hope you know a good attorney... cause your going to need one.

I highly recommend Ryan, Christine and Megan for anyone looking for a legal team that is not only professional, responsive and smart but that actually cares about their clients. Finding myself in the midst of a very complex divorce I can’t be happier to know I have an entire team of amazing human beings who care about me and my family and truly wish the best outcome for my children. Their genuine empathetic and attentive approach is above and beyond the expectations I had for family and civil law. Call them, they seriously will have your back.

Christin is a passionate advocate for justice. My interactions with attorney Georgales have always been polite and she has made me feel heard and understood. Her attention to detail and organization of case material and effeciant use of time in communicating with clients is nothing short of excellent, I have entrusted her with my most valuable asset (My family) and she has not disappointed me in the least. Christin is not afraid to do the write thing even in the face of opposition and has the emotional intelligence and empathy to communicate with clients without seeming curt or rude. If you need an attorney you have found the very best one.

Mr. Connors is affable and quite knowledgeable about the law. His firm is small. Which turned out to be a deficit in my case as he was easily overwhelmed by the “big boys” of opposing counsel’s firm. As a consequence, The legal fees quickly spiraled out of control and greatly exceeded the budget and the end result was not as good as I had hoped.

William Conners represented me as defense counsel in a contentious family law case against an aggressive Fairfax attorney and an even more aggressive, litigious, and vindictive ex-spouse. This review is meant to be helpful for prospective clients, so here is my candid assessment of what you will get with Mr. Conners: - A top notch legal professional who is about as knowledgeable about family law as I've ever seen. Anywhere. - He will take your case very seriously; he will sit with you to formulate the most effective legal strategy and he will be direct and honest about setting realistic expectations. - He is one of the most efficient attorney's out there; he will work on preparing your case professionally and coherently. - He is passionate about the law and his profession: He cares about your case as if it's his own. - Unlike many lawyers out there, he is not out to run up the hours and drain your wallet. - His level of preparation before trial is superb. Going to trial is always stressful, but you go into trial feeling confident knowing that you have an attorney who is thoroughly prepared for your case and positioned to win. - He's is very responsive; unless he's tied up in court he responds to emails within hours (or less). In the court room: - At trial, he's focused on one thing and one thing only: Winning your case. - He has absolute command of the court room and respect of the judge. - I was absolutely astounded by the professionalism and court room acumen demonstrated by Mr. Conners at my trial. - His vast knowledge of the family law enables him to make very succinct and clear legal arguments in support of his client's case. - His vast knowledge of family law also enables him to effectively discredit opposing counsel's arguments that are not based on fact or law. - His cross-examination of witnesses is on-point and quickly exposes their weaknesses. - Like a legal maestro, his delivery of arguments is articulate, factual, and convincing. Summary: If you have a challenging family law case and you are looking for the best family attorney you can get, Mr. Conners has certainly earned that tile.

Mr. Conners was professional, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and highly ethical during my complicated divorce/child support proceedings. His assertive demeanor in the courtroom allowed us to resolve issues quickly. He really understands the complications of an emotional divorce and knows just how the nuances of the law applied to my unique situation, and, as a result, was able to cut off most of the game playing by opposing counsel. It was inspiring to see him standing firm on my behalf and negotiating a very equitable settlement for my family. I highly recommend Mr. Conners to anyone who needs an attorney, no matter how complicated the situation.

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.
