I never thought that I would be in the position where I would need a liability attorney. But, given the unfortunate situation that I was in, I was absolutely blessed to be introduced to Mr. Crist and have him as my lawyer. I did not know Mr. Crist before I hired him to represent me. To say that he fights for his client just doesn't do him the justice that he deserves. He was an absolute pit bull in making sure that I received everything that I was entitled to. He was never satisfied until every, and I mean EVERY stone was unearthed to ensure that he had done everything that could be done to satisfy my interest. He always kept me informed; I never felt that I was lost in terms of how things were going. If, I am ever in the predicament again that required Mr. Crist' services, he will be the first person that I call. Although my injuries are looking more and more like they will stay with me for the unforeseeable future, I am at peace in large part due to his representation..

Vanessa and her team walked me through what was the most complicated circumstance of my life. When I shared the story of my circumstance, she asked many questions about home life behavior and immediately made recommendations to rule out other factors relevant to a divorce proceeding. The plan which was put in place uncovered information I was completely blind to and provided me the detail to begin the fight of my life... for my children. She was responsive, timely and thoughtful. I found it also valuable that she looped in other members of the firm to assist in answering questions regarding criminal actions to help me take make decisions on actions to take. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone who going through a difficult time in their marriage to better understand your legal rights. I was caught off guard, and Vanessa helped me get back on track to fight for what is right.

Tim represented me in Prince William County on three felony charges. He had no problems going to trial and fighting all the way through. End results were great...I was found not guilty on all counts. Reasonably priced for a great lawyer! Would definitely recommend!

Tim knows his stuff. I had three charges, 2 misdemeanors, 1 felony, I was founf not guilty of one of the misdemeanors and the other two charges were dismissed. He also made it so that after I am able to expunge the arrests, so it is as if the incident never happened. I hope that I never have to use a lawyer for criminal charges again, but if I do I know I will be calling Tim.

I got caught doing 137 in the 65 in Fairfax County. I contacted the Wilson Law firm. I was facing one day in jail for every mile over 100 Mr. Wilson took my case. I listen to what he told me. I got the most favorable outcome ever, NO JAIL time. He knows what he’s doing. He’s very professional, he’s knowledgeable and he knows the courts. Thank you Mr. Wilson. You are the best. I’m gonna take you for a ride. I promise to do the speed limit.

I had an outstanding experience with The Wilson Law Firm. From the very beginning, their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my case. They took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the legal process, ensuring that I felt informed and confident along the way. Their expertise in the field was evident. Communication was always prompt and clear. Thanks to The Wilson Law Firm, my reckless driving case was resolved in a timely and favorable manner. I couldn't have asked for better representation. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a DUI/DWI and reckless driving criminal defense layyer. They are not only knowledgeable and experienced but also compassionate and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients.

I cannot recommend The Reed Law Firm highly enough! While Mr. Reed represented me though a detinue case and Mrs. Reed represented me in my divorce, the firm as a whole worked together like a family. I was so impressed with their expertise and unwavering support and commitment throughout the entire process. From my first consultation with Mr. Reed, when I was distressed and in need of help, I felt listened to and reassured. I was really vulnerable, not knowing anything about the law and he provided clear, strategic advice specific to my situation. The most encouraging feeling from that initial call was that he was being realistic and upfront about what would lie ahead- legally and financially. Mr. Reed was like a superhero when it came time to appear in court. He really fought for me. Out of a bad situation, he got me the best possible result. After that case was over, it was time to move on to my divorce. That is when Mrs. Reed began representing me and I felt guided through every step. With her help (and the rest of the firm), she was always there to answer my questions, explain the next steps, promptly draw up and file the appropriate paperwork, and stand by me at the final hearing. She got the job done even though it took some twists and turns. I not only felt supported, but I also felt empowered—like I had the best of the best by my side. Shout out to the wonderful paralegals- Candice and Nisa, for being communicative, helpful, and kind. After being a client of the Reed Law Firm for a year, I feel that they are genuinely good people and incredible at what they do. I am so grateful that they were in my corner through one of the toughest times in my life. I was given their phone number as kind of a random recommendation and it seriously altered my path for the better. I hope this recommendation helps someone who needs it. Thank you, Reed Law Firm, for making a difference in my life!

Mr. Dave Bayne took on my personal injury case after I was rear ended at a traffic light. Several complications about the case including my own health issues were challenges that I felt were insurmountable in even hiring an attorney. Dave not only handled all the medical implications, but was steadfast in his commitment, navigating the case all the way to the courtroom. I would have settled for a standard insurance payout, but Dave Bayne's services offered a payout 3 times what I would have received. Many thanks to Dave and his great team at Ashcraft & Gerel. I highly recommend him to anyone who expects professionalism, expertise and great results!

Por favor no contratar estos abogados lo único que hacen es hacerte perder el tiempo ellos agarraron mi caso hace casi dos años pague todo el dinero y en febrero del este año me dijeron que ya avían mandado mi caso después de estar todo un año llamando constantemente para ver si ya habían mandado mi caso por fin me dijeron que si, ellos no saben lo que es comunicacion por que te ignoran por completo. Se suponía que al principio de febrero ya lo habían mandado, resulta que me moví de estado y les llamo 9 meses después para dejarles saber y pues me dicen que el caso nunca fue mandado y ni siquiera fueron capaz de disculparse o hacer algo al respecto, si van a contratarlos prepárate a estar llamando y que nunca te respondan y lo más posible que pierdan tus documentos oh que nunca los manden a imigracion y lo único que te dicen es que te regresarán la llamada pero nunca lo hacen, ellos solo se enfocan en agarrar muchos casos para agarrar el dinero pero ya teniendo tu caso se olvidan son unos irresponsables, robando dinero y tiempo ala gente, tienes que llamarlos constantemente y nunca responden es un nightmare bregar con esta gente y deberían ser repostados, mi abogada fue EMYLY SWARTZ, y ella no es la única until de todos los abogados que trabajan ahí, mi amiga también los contrato a ellos fue otro abogado que también tuvo una mala experiencia, perdieron todos sus documentos y nunca le respondían el teléfono, y también te cambian de paralegal como el papel que le cambian ala printer cada ves que por fin puedes hablar con ellos prepararte para las mil Preguntas que te hará cada paralegal que asignan a tu caso , ellos no tienen organización son lo peor, si yo no los hubiera contantado para dejarles saber que me moví nunca ubiera escuchando de ellos lo más seguro ubiera pasado otros años más y ellos se quedaban como si nada, estoy en proceso de someter un complain con el bar association, y estoy segura que a mas gente le ah pasado, repórtenlos no se queden sin hacer nada abogados como esta gente no deberían de estar trabajando, ellos los único que les importa es el dinero, como se pueden dar cuenta tienen anuncios por todos lados que según ellos son muy buenos ayudando la gente en sus casos pero es todo mentira , el dueño se enfoca solo en agarrar casos y hacer anuncios por todos lados que son tantos los casos que tienen que no pueden con tanto

After hiring this attorney for a workers compensation matter Kernbach failed me greatly in my case. Communication was terrible. He is not an aggressive attorney, when I needed help and things got tough he treated my case like a side job. In short, he did a half job. I strongly recommend that readers of this review do not hire this attorney.

The most unprofessional person I’ve ever had to deal with. My husband is being held in a completely different county due to this lawyers lack of notice about a new court date. When I called to ask what’s going on, he said “What do you expect me to do about it” and hung up the phone on me. After speaking with the courthouse and confirming this is who was still technically representing him, they were appalled. Words can’t even describe how rude this man is and/or how the hell he’s even able to call himself a lawyer. As a law student myself, it’s an insult to have people like this working for our justice system.

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.
