When I called Goodman Acker, I was nervous because I felt like I had so little power over my life when I was severely injured due to the negligence of my landlord. Deja made me feel taken care of and heard during my intake and made it a painless process. Faddi and Brad gave me back my confidence that I do matter, I am important and that my case has merit. Don't second guess yourself, the team at Goodman Acker is there to make things right for the little guy... or little girl in this case. Thank you!

You are not just a paycheck to her. I am so so so grateful that I found her. She know's exactly what she is doing and is FANTASTIC at what she does. Thank you so much again Alicia.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kara Weisman and I couldnt be more satisfied with her services. While the issue I was dealing with was incredibly stressful, Kara made me feel extremely comfortable from day one, and streamlined the process to the point where it made this daunting process a very easy one. From my initial consultation through the resolution of my case, Kara was responsive, tenacious and fought for me every step of the way. I was beyond pleased with the resolution of my case, as she was able to well exceed my initial expectations and I can't thank her enough for the invaluable guidance that she provided throughout the process. I would not think twice before hiring Kara again.

While not the usual case that Mr. Wallen takes on, he was quite instrumental and helpful in organizing and putting together my Will and Testament.

A friend referred to me to Mr. Wallen. I had a consultation with Mr. Wallen regarding child custody matters. He is highly educated and does it job well. He listens to what you want and fights for you. My only regret is not finding out about his excellent work and hiring him from the beginning.

Such horrible communication with Hewitt. Definitely seemed to just want to get the case over regardless of my best interest. Left a meeting with a plan with him, then he did something completely different to just get it over with. Multiple emails about the same thing. Just really wasted so much time.

If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. I recently worked with Nick, and I can't recommend him highly enough. I came to him on a Friday with my court date just a week away, and he jumped into action immediately. Despite being relatively new to the field, his dedication was remarkable. He worked tirelessly through the weekend to prepare my case, demonstrating a level of commitment that truly impressed me.
Nick’s thoroughness and attention to detail made all the difference. He kept me informed throughout the process and provided clear, actionable advice. Thanks to his hard work and strategic thinking, we achieved a successful outcome in court.
If you’re looking for a passionate and capable lawyer who will go the extra mile for you, Nick is the one to choose. His newness in the profession is no obstacle—he is a true asset. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Tom Behm represented me after a bad motorcycle accident, he was patient, explained everything in detail, was incredibly thorough in building my case, and was an absolute bulldog when it counted. I worked with his Paralegal, Carol Kolenda, who took extremely good care of me. I would absolutely recommend Tom and his team if you need representation.

I was in a car accident and I was injured so I turned to an attorney at Michigan Auto Law to see what the law would afford me. Brandon was the lawyer of my choice and he did great with my case. He kept very close contact with me and he kept me updated and informed. The communication with him was great. If I couldn’t get a hold of him right away over the phone, he would always call me back quickly. He treated me excellent, first class as a matter of fact. He gave me all of my options and he did exactly what I wanted him to do. I didn’t want a long drawn out lawsuit, and Brandon made the settlement quick and easy. I’m very happy with the amount Brandon got for my injuries and the way he treated me throughout the lawsuit. I would recommend him highly. I know I can still call on Brandon whenever I need anything.

After being hit by a car my a delivery driver, I hired Brandon to handle my case. He does not keep me updated- I hear from him once every three months if I'm lucky. When I call and try to get updates, his secretary informs me he's not available, but when I ask when he will be, she simply says "I don't know". So, on top of not taking initiative to keep me informed he is a hard person to get ahold of. Even after leaving voicemails, his average response time seems to be a week. Most concerning is his being adamant that my settlement check has "been in the mail" for three weeks. This is after I sent him my power of attorney form to accept a settlement MONTHS ago. If you care about timeliness, honesty, and communication with your attorney, hire anyone but Brandon Hewitt.

I was the third person from the stop light on Cherry Hill on Telegraph. I was waiting for the light to turn green and I was rear ended from the back at 40 miles per hour. I was taken to the emergency room with a mild concussion. I had concussive effects. My son-in-law is an accident lawyer and likes the attorneys Michigan Auto Law, so I went to him to seek out the best firm in Michigan. Since he is in the same legal specialty, he know which questions to ask to direct me to the right place. From there, I had an interview with a lawyer Brandon Hewitt and he took my case from there. Everybody at Michigan Auto Law is great. Brandon followed through with everything for me, even though I had a smaller case. He did his due diligence to help me. There are some quirks and constraints with the Michigan law regarding car accidents and this firm is even very proactive in getting legislation changed in favor of injured plaintiffs. It makes me happy to see they’re working to change what needs to be changed rather than just shrugging their shoulders and treating people like a file number. Overall I’m very pleased with Michigan Auto Law and the representation from Brandon for everything they were able to do. I would recommend them to anybody.

Mr. Dopkin was very nice and kind. I have a major problem with my memory and he was very professional, patient, and helpful. He let me know a time estimate and what to expect next.

Matthew was very helpful in helping me fill out the proper forms for Social Security disability. He made the process easy and painless. He guides you every step of the way. He was easy to contact, always returning phone calls quickly, usually within an hour. He took a process I was dreading and made it easy. The process took less than 6 months. As far as I'm concerned Matthew earned every penny.

I have known Mark Baumkel for most of his career. He has excelled from the very begining. I have had experience with other attorneys in various business relationships and none have won my confidence and trust as Mark has. I am always sure that Mark will tell me what I need to hear and not necessarily what I want to hear. I believe he is a credit to his profession and have heard him described as brilliant by others.

Mr. Baumkel is the best lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He not only has knowledge about the law he has a very big heart. He was very prompt about returning
my calls and he even emailed me on a daily basis. I always had my questions asked and answered quickly. In fact, he was so fast and thorough' he was waiting on me to finish what I was suppose to do before he could continue. I consider myself very lucky to have him for my attorney.

Thank you SO MUCH for all of your help with my case. With never being in trouble with the law, I was terrified on the outcome and my future with some stupid mistakes I had made. Everyone goes through troubled times. Everyone makes mistakes.
But.
It's about how you manage your troubles during hard times. It's about learning from your mistakes. It's about being honest and taking responsibility for your actions.
Judith was the most sincere, honest, caring, hard-working person I have ever met. She didn't ignore my words or feelings. She continued to keep me in line, to stay strong, and be the person that's inside -that's real. She provided amazing advice and was always true to her words. She fought hard to protect me. She gave me faith and confidence.
It's because of you, Ms. Gracey that I am who I am today. I learned from my mistakes, and turned my life around before I went down a dark, dark path.
Thank you so very much for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for standing up for me when I was terrified. You are truly an amazing attorney, and even more than just an attorney - a friend!
Thank you so very much for everything you do! Keep kicking butt! You rock!

I wish I could adequately express my gratitude and appreciation for Andrew, Abood Law firm and his associates. I wouldn’t be where I’m at, professionally/personally, without them. Because of their knowledge and professionalism I was acquitted of two DUI’s in two separate cases/cities. They’ll fight for you behind the scenes and in court and I’ll forever be grateful and in awe of what this law firm can do for (us).

They're great if your the rich and elite but if your a normal person, they don't respect you enough to even follow through in basic communication.

To Whiting Law and my attorney, I would like to thank you for taking my case and being very professional and very patience and gave me all the help and information about my claim. I was in doubt when you told me that within 3-6 months that I will get my disability. Well I was wrong - it did resulted in 3 months~ - I would gladly recommend you to the people or persons that are in the same situation as I am and would tell them to have all papers and documents ready to get a great result. Thank you for your time and kind regards!

This office had my case for over a year and a half. They did not file my case in court within the time limit, which is a year for PIP benefits. This has set me back financially really bad. I have not returned back to work. With this type of over looked or unprofessionalism deed will cost me in the long run. This means no lost wages, no doctor's who treated me will be paid, no medical expense being paid, no replacement cost being paid to the people who helped me, no mileage for all that traveling time. All for a simple $235.00 fee for filing with the court in a timely matter. This should be the first thing an attorney's office should do. Also, I kept in contact with the paralegal that was on my case, ( I liked her) but no knowledge about claims statutory NOTHING! you see, I am informing now what happened. I know things happens and I wasn't going to post, but when I see another customer with similarities, I thought you know.. people need to know. Now I am stuck with paying those bills mentioned and money lost for gas etc. Wait! every time I did call the paralegal she would say it's the insurance company taking so long. while all the time Paul Whiting's office had not filed my case in court. Then when I received my records thank GOD! I got them when I did, I see where the insurance company corresponded to this attorney's office about what they were going to do with my case. UH.... shouldn't the attorney's office be asking the insurance company THIS?? I'm just saying..

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.
