Mr. Simmons went above and beyond to help prove my innocence fought hard against the district attorney and their alleged accusations , proved beyond a reasonable doubt that I am innocent ... we need more lawyers out here who actually care about the individual and not what the client is going to pay the lawyer ... Mr. Simmons treats me like a human being , and help me through payment plans later to pay my legal fees I've never seen any other attorney work so hard ... I will recommend him on my friends and family and business associates because of the upmost and courteous and professional and prompt and personal attention that he gave me and my case .

West did very little to help my case and then spontaneously quit representing me without helping me find another attorney, which is a breach of legal ethics. In my opinion, West is not trustworthy or competent. In the end, he refused to return the fees.

We hired Ken to assist with a personal injury situation that involved numerous complexities and required skills and insight that we simply didn't have. Throughout the entire process he was knowledgeable, principled, compassionate, and effective. His guidance was truly essential and greatly appreciated.

I could not be more pleased with the services provided by Michael Morgenstern! The positive outcome of my case was due solely to his diligence and expertise. Michael was clear in explaining at the outset the difficulties of my case. I was kept informed of progress on a regular basis, often receiving answers to questions before I even asked them. Michael was both extremely professional and appropriately supportive and friendly. He seemed genuinely interested in my recovery from injuries. I highly recommend Michael Morgenstern to anyone in need of a talented and caring attorney.

A few years ago, I was the victim of a hit and run accident in Silver Spring, MD. The driver fled the scene after hitting my left leg, under the influence of opiates prescribed for his mental illness. I was left terrified and alone with an ACL tear. Luckily, I was able to memorize the driver’s license plate.
Upon consultation with Mr. Morgenstern, all was well and I was told everything was rather clear cut and could be easily handled. When I met without Mr. Morgenstern in person as an African-American woman, I was suddenly met with apathy.
Mr. Morgenstern stepped away from litigation of my case and gave the job to one of his partners. The man was so rude and condescending I honestly forgot his name. He looked at me with disgust during my deposition, looked at me with astonishment when I told him I was a college student on an honors scholarship, and repeatedly told me to fix my posture and general appearance during court.
Without my knowledge, Morgenstern and his partner worked directly with the defendant’s lawyers to come up with a mutual process to effectively dismiss the case. I watched before my trial as Morgenstern paid more attention and care to the lawyer he was supposed to be defending me against. It was demoralizing and wholly unacceptable.
During deposition the driver who hit me stated on record that he had even been in a vehicular incident similar, killing a deer. He also stated how the medicine for his bipolar disorder was recently changed. The facts lined up so clear cut in this case a circus clown who failed the BAR could have won it. There were obviously much more sinister hands at play.
At the end of my case, I walked away with nothing, the driver (who was guilty of a hit and run) walked away without fault, and his insurance did not cover all of my medical bills. Mr. Morgenstern’s partner told me with a smile that I would not be able to purchase a home well into my 30s because of it.
Five years later, at the age of 26, I bought a home with excellent credit and am happily married to a lawyer who’s family has been delegates and politicians in this state for generations.
This experience taught me that some lawyers only care about themselves and do absolutely NOTHING to service their communities. This experience also taught me to stick to diverse litigation in all of my legal matters. If your lawyer does not understand or empathize with you as a person, they will NOT work their hardest to win your case.
If you are a minority, I urge you to not waste your time or precious energy by being devalued by this law firm.

March 2014, I was hit by a D.C. Circulator bus walking
in the cross walk with ample seconds to cross. Hit on
my left side, I suffered multiple fractures of my left
wrist and extensive bruising on my left side as well.
A visitor to D.C., I returned to Chicago and one week later,
Dr. Daniel Mass at the University of Chicago operated on my wrist.
When the intense pain from the surgery dissipated, I went online to look for top personal injury lawyers in the D.C. area. Voted by Washingtonian Magazine as one of the best personal Injury attorneys in the city, I knew I had made the right choice after our first conversation. KInd and patient, he listened and responded in detail assuring me that my injuries were serious and deserving of compensation.
Michael was thorough, extremely polite and genuinely
concerned. Never too busy to answer my many questions, Michael was meticulous and accommodating.
I cannot praise him enough. Not only was I compensated
for my injuries, but I was treated with the utmost
respect. I highly recommend Michael Morgenstern to
anyone with a serious injury.

We had a custody case with Mr. Rolle in August of 2017 and we are so happy we hired him! We instantly felt at ease with him. Also, he must have an excellent paralegal on staff. She seems to have done most of our paperwork (under his supervision/direction) and that was great for us! The custody order and other stuff was very well written and because he used his paralegal so wisely the billing to us was far less than we were expecting it to be. It was a huge relief for us. We’d had another lawyer before him who did things badly and was gouging us with the billing, so our final bill from this firm was a huge relief. They deducted the bill from our retainer and returned it in a reasonable amount of time.
Also, when the other party was ready to settle (very much in our favor), because of life circumstances, Mr. Rolle’s Law firm was able to get the new custody order written up very quickly. I think it was only a couple of days and that included some revisions that we sent in after the fact. That was important because we were concerned the other party might change their mind.
We would definitely hire Mr. Rolle again.
Thank you!

Mr. Rolle does not take just any case. Even though he could easily do this to increase his billable hours, that is not his style. He is to the point, and cares about keeping legal costs down. I have recommended this firm to two of my friends and anticipate I will recommend them again if the opportunity arises. He was brilliant in how he drafted the complaint filed against my opponent and fiercely protected my legal interests.

Mr. Rolle is professional, kind, and did a fabulous job representing me in my divorce/custody case. He listened to me and worked effectively to get the best resolution for me and my children. Mr. Rolle is also very aware of not wasting time/money -- and thus my total attorneys' fees were not the extreme financial hit they could have been. Highly recommended!

Really bad attitude. My spouse and I paid for Mr. Wood to represent him in a case during the pandemic. Mr. Wood never represented him court never showed up to any dates because of Covid there were many delays and case wasn’t presented to the courts until a year or so later. Mr. Wood got very irate and angry because he had to give back the money paid because he never represented my spouse in court. He was very pleasant when we were giving him our money but when it was time for us to get a refund he was yelling and cursing!!!!! Very rude and very prideful!!!! He knew he had no choice but to refund us and this made him
Very angry!!!!!!!!! He is very sneaky and shady!!!!!

Almost three years of giving me the run around regarding my case, Thomas contacted me the last week before the statue of limitations expired, and informed me that he couldn’t proceed with my case. I have sent him numerous emails and left him hundreds of voice mails but he never contacted me whatsoever. He only responded after I emailed him and informed him I was filing a complaint with the bar association (I have the paper work to prove my attempts to teach him and get an answer regarding my case).
Trust me, take your business elsewhere.

You took your time with us to complete all the paperwork and dropping additional charges for additional representation.

Our experience with Roland Brown was similar to a few other reviews of some bad experiences had by hiring Roland Brown. They were all beyond accurate in their statements. Mr. Brown talks a great game about what he can do for you, but does not deliver on his promises or his word. Roland Brown was paid in full (5 figures), which was definitely a waste of money, might as well have flushed the money down the toilet. And trying to make contact with him or have him to make contact with the family or his client, was totally USELESS! The couple of times that he did visit our family member, I believe he was there to see someone else and decided to grace our family member with his presence, which was only to tell him that he did not have his laptop and would come back to discuss his case, of course he never returned. The only time that our family member saw Roland Brown was in court and there were several postponements due to Roland Brown not being available, like going to Las Vegas with no prior notice that he would not be present in court, so of course, there was another postponement. Roland Brown was given evidence for the trial which actually sat in his briefcase for days before he had to be reminded that he had it. What good attorney forgets that he was given evidence! He then tried to look at the evidence which turned out to be garbage and could not be reviewed by his office. The evidence had to be requested again and that took months, another postponement! More time wasted! And trying to make contact with Roland Brown was so frustrating, we would leave messages and send emails and the response from his office would be that "the information would be forwarded to Roland Brown" and the family and his client, our family member would hear nothing from him. Roland Brown would also set up appointments to discuss the case with the family and would be a no show, with a call while we are at his office waiting for him, that something came up and he could not make it! This happened on several occasions! Roland Brown has not only missed multiple appointments with the family, he has missed multiple appointments with his client, our family member. Additionally, Roland Brown was made aware of another suspect in my family members case and he just sat on the information and never brought it up in court. This information could have helped our family member with his case! Roland Brown has clients that he works much much harder for. I say this to say that if you want an attorney that will work hard for your family member and honor the oath that he took, DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!! If you are NOT one of his special clients, prepare to go to jail.

Was inexperienced with my case, took my money and didn’t hear from him again until the day of court, only to find out he was requesting a postponement due to his license being suspended. When he did come to court the next scheduled time, he threw together his argument 15 mins before the court time. Ineffective communication, you have to chase him down to get a response and he half way explains what’s going on. Please, don’t make the mistake I made. Hire someone else

When my husband was hit by another driver and sustained a serious injury, being a nurse I thought I could handle this. I quickly realized in two weeks time I was clearly over my head. Trying to take care of him, deal with the insurance companies, who were not being very helpful at all, doctor's appts, and home care was taking a toll. I simply could not keep up and we were also dealing with Medicare/liens. Complicated and messy.
The best thing we did was choose Robert MacMeekin to handle our case. Immediately, he put us at ease and calmly and professionally took over. It was easy to get in contact with him the same day. Someone in the office always answered the phone. He assured us we should never hesitate to call and ask questions. As soon as he was on the case, we felt a huge sense of relief and he handled all paperwork,and all the frustrating phone calls to and from insurance companies stopped.
He came to our home throughout the process to see how my husband was doing and quickly resolved our case with a fair and just settlement.
The most important thing is this is a lawyer who is caring, calm, reassuring and in touch with you every step of the way. We have put his name out there to friends and family if they are ever in need of his services.
If you are looking for a fair and trustworthy lawyer, do not hesitate to call Robert MacMeekin.

When I met Mr. MacMeekin, I was a week out from a car crash that left me with for broken limbs. All I could do was my therapy. My wife was getting threatening letters from insurance companies and the bills already totaled over a 130k. A family friend had recommended Mr. MacMeekin and he took care of everything to do with the insurance companies and we received a settlement within 4 months of the accident.
Mr. MacMeekin worked quickly so that we received all of the Personal Injury Protection money for loss wages instead of it going to the hospital. He worked hard to keep us updated, visiting my room almost weekly so that he could talk to my wife and I.
When it came time to negotiate with the health insurance company, Mr. MacMeekin worked hard to get us every last dollar he could. This was regardless of if the "effort" was worth his fee. He worked for us, knowing that in our situation every little bit could make the difference.
Having Mr. MacMeekin as a lawyer was one of our greatest blessings because it was clear very quickly that we didn't have to worry about the legal side of things. He has earned my trust and recommendation.

Brad filed for a warrant motion recall when he should not have, just to take my money. I had hire another attorney first and I should’ve stayed with him. My son was falsely accused and he was found innocent from questioning, so the detective told me that I didn’t need an attorney. I told Brad macfee and he acted like he was in shock. If I would not have said anything about a refund he would’ve kept my money. I paid him $1500. Who would allow someone to keep their money for nothing. Not me! He told me that he would give me my $1000 back. He got his secretary or whatever she is working from her home, because he has no office to send me an invoice. Saying that he charged me for my affidavits $300 for an hour. We never talked about that, if we did I would not have agreed to that is what I texted him. He never called me back and he ignore my calls after the day he told me a lie about my money. I called and texted a week later asking about my money and Liz said that she didn’t have my address, but Brad had it. Poor communication on their end. I went to her address to pick up my $825 check. I wouldn’t recommend him to a cat. This is what I text Brad and he just read my messages everytime that I text him. Coward
Why are you trying to rip me off? You told me that you were sending me a check for $1,000. You did the motion like Rodney did and really should not have because you knew that it would not work. I need my money back. Not, $825.00
Brad Why didn’t you tell me that I was being charged for the affidavit statement. I would have never agreed to that. You also made it like the warrant would be recalled, because you sent the affidavits attached. You knew that it wouldn’t work, because Rodney told me that it was denied and you knew that. And turn around and misrepresent the truth and you didn’t disclose an affidavit fee. I should’ve stayed with Rodney. it was all about money.
I never agreed to pay you for an affidavit. You stole my money.

Brad was the worst lawyer EVER he stole over $500 and never returned my money he played so many games and never barely called us. Not to mention it was like pulling a persons heart out with your bare hands. That’s how hard it was to get in contact. He has a iPhone so I would see him many times read my messages and keep them on read. I guess it’s no surprise we lost our case. He was the worst ever and I wouldn’t recommend him for not even the simplest case. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

I was referred to Jeffrey Butschky by a neighbor because I was in an auto accident. He took 31/2 years before ever meeting with me. He stated that I dressed professionally and was well spoken and had a good job as a chemist and very educated. I don’t appear to be one of those people looking for a quick come up. I looked at him like you’re stereotyping me. The worst mistake I made was not get rid of him them. Later as we got into the proceedings of my case where I was rear ended by a gentleman going 70 plus miles an hour while all traffic was stopped and totaled my vehicle as well as I endured some pain and suffering to my back and hip. The gentleman admitted that day of the accident that it was his fault and the Trooper that wrote the report stated the same. I could have lost my life because my rear end of the vehicle was pushed in and the lights were hanging by a wire. Attorney Butschky said that I can’t even mention that I had to have a hip replacement surgery done. I looked at him like are you serious. He stated that the insurance company feels the accident had no connection to the surgery because I had a mild case of arthritis in my hip. This was on 9/2022 that he stated this to me. He also stated that the guy that hit me went to Israel and is never coming back. I was like okay that’s good for me but how do you know he is never coming back? When my name was called for the mediation hearing that day I was not even permitted into the room. I was very perplexed and when he and the lawyer for the insurance company and the judge can out the judge stated to the clerk to check her calendar for late November/ early December but it appears that both lawyers feel like they are able to reach a settlement agreement. I was in the waiting room area and was about to blow my top. I’m like how are they reaching an agreement when I haven’t been consulted about anything. Especially when in the hallway when he said that the gentleman that hit me is never coming back, he also stated that he put in a settlement of 70K and the insurance company was at 30K for their final offer and I had over 42K In medical expenses prior to having surgery. I had asked Jeffrey R Butschky to contact my primary care physician to get my medical records and he would see that I hadn’t been getting treatment for a hip problem consistently prior to the accident. He refused to do that. He never talked to coworkers who saw me daily and saw how I was walking after the accident compared to before. I also later asked him to amend the settlement amount and he refused. He later told me he was removing himself as my counsel when I told him that he works for me when he refused to amend the settlement. He asked for my email and told me he was going to email my entire file and that he wasn’t seeking any financial obligations from me and had one request. He stated if I was able to find another lawyer that could get a settlement above the 70K to call him and rub it in his face. I am not a lawyer but the doesn’t sound like that is professional behavior that a lawyer should be displaying. This was on November 17,2022 and I shave verication to all that I stated. Later on December 8 when I was at the courthouse for the hearing that the Judge on 9/20/2022 told the clerk to schedule, Attorney Butschky showed up and said he was my attorney to the clerk. Then he asked her is any other party here. She stated that Mr. John is here and he turn and started walking towards me. He asked if we could go out in the hallway to talk. I stated in a room full of people that we have nothing to talk about because you, Jeffrey R. Butschky, stated you were no longer my attorney. He came and sat next to me and tried to get me to sign a document and I refused because I told him that I didn’t trust him. After I short time I got up and moved because I didn’t want that negative energy near. Att. Butschky shouldn’t be able to practice law in a game of law that’s how bad he is.

Stay away from him. It's impossible to communicate with him given his bad attitude, nasty temper and some sort of learning disability. He turned a successful case into a disastrous failure for no apparent reason. He did not discuss the pros and cons of his approach and at the end of the process his charges turned out to be more that what the opposing side had asked to settle! Then the final outcome was a financial disaster for which I have to pay with my really hard-earned money forever.
He should retire or better, be disbarred. A combination of greed and bad attitude plus incompetence. There was absolutely no reason not to settle but he made his money and "took tremendous pleasure" in ignoring the opposing attorney (who was actually more professional than him) basically ignoring what was good for me but pleasing himself at my cost. The legal system is plagued by monsters like this who act with impunity.

After hiring this attorney to help me file chapter 13 to save my home, I was blindsided when I received documents in the mail telling me that my home was sold at auction, and that I must vacate my home of 15 years! I never saw this coming. I have signed retainer, after retainer, which is what seemed to matter the most to Lee Tuchman. He however did not explain the process to me, and I have not received any prior notification from Lee Tuchman or meetings. He has not reasonablly communicated with me. I just assumed he knew what he was doing. Obviously not! I stopped by his office, left numerous emails, and I tried to call him. He seems to be "hiding" from my presence.

I was represented by his previous firm. Upon my court date the prosecuting attorney spoke with me and offered me a pbj. The prosecuting attorney was unaware I even had representation. Mark shows up late, speaks with the prosecuting attorney, and told me he worked with them and got me a pbj (the same outcome it would have been if I didn't hire representation). His firm assured me in 3 years time expungement paperwork would be filed for free. Maryland law states that expungement paperwork for pbjs should be free. After calling Mark to expunge my record he outlined the fees for this service. I attempted to remind him of my situation. He constantly interrupted me and accused me of threatening him (no threat of any sort was made), and trying to coerce free legal services from him. Regardless if my issue was with the firm or not, the way in which he handled himself at court and the subsequent paperwork afterwards was very much unprofessional. I'm not surprised his reviews are what they are.

I hired Mr. Rollison to represent me in an accident case. The case was opened in 8/16 and has yet to get settled. Each time I speak with Mr. Rollison, I have to be sure to say as little as possible. This man has no idea how to treat his clients. He talks down to you. He is very rude and makes you feel as if you are on trial for simply getting an update on the case. My specific case somehow had to go to trial. The trial, due to an error on his offices part, is now postponed. I received another call from Mr. Rollison, in which I had to take a deep breath because his tone, pitch and delivery were going to be cold and accausative. As it turns out, the company that I am pursuing damages has another twist to this ongoing plot. Mr. Rollison then relates the perceived facts and tells me that "I am hard to believe." Wow! I was hit in an accident, the driver fleld, I got a police report, consulted your firm, received treatment for my injuries and now a year and change later, I supposedly fabricated the entire ordeal, according to Mr. Rollison. I am sure this is a way to get me to drop the case since its quite possible he cannot get me awarded compensation.
I have never been treated so horribly. Your phone calls are returned by him with agitation, as if you are a bother. He has no patience yet he is there to represent those who are unfamiliar with the law. He is ALWAYS disrespectful to you as you are only making inquiries . And to this date, no results, no compensation. I feel as if this was a complete waste of time, effort and energy on my part for hiring him. I just now want him out of my life. I wish I could get another lawyer.
The only thing I got was my insurance premiums raised as my company issued it as a hit and run.
Mr. Rollison was even reprimanded by the Maryland bar association. I know that things happen quickly at the site of an accident but please do your research and NEVER hire this Mark Rollinson guy to represent you.

I hired Rollison to handle an auto accident case for me in which I experienced nothing but unprofessional and rude customer service. As a paying customer I would call once a month or less to check the status of my case which I would never receive a call back until I had called numerous times (7+). I would finally receive a call back, be told what would be done next, call again a month and a half later to touch base just to be told the same thing I was told wks prior. Nothing gets done, yet Mr. Rollison speaks to you as if you are wrong for trying to get the status of your case. His tone is very condescending and rude over the phone. I would NOT recommend anyone EVER giving their business to this firm. My accident occurred 8/2/2016... Today is 12/27/2016 and I just basically got into an argument (who does that as a professional) with him over the phone because I told him 11/2016 to just settle the case because I was done with the run around; and he never did. He claims he will settle today. Im sure that will take another 2 months before I can get a call back.

He does not do a very good job of arguing a case. I am not sure if it has anything to do with his caseload, but I have witnessed other attorney's argue cases and really stand out for their clients. Overall his competency is what helps a client win a case. It is disheartening to know that he has been responsible for my case and didn't live up to the potential I thought he had. What is really sad is that the lawyer he was up against did a piss poor job and that lawyer still won.

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.
