After our family was involved in a 5 car accident and our vehicle being one of the totaled cars, we knew we would need legal representation. We had heard great things about Cole and reached out to him. Cole immediately contacted us and did an amazing job representing our family. He took all of the stress off of our shoulders by handling our medical bills, working with the other insurance carriers and made things very smooth for us. We highly recommend that if you are looking for great representation or know of someone else needing an attorney, please don’t hesitate to call Cole.

Cole did a great job!! My biggest worry was getting a lawyer that actually cared about the person and not just about the money. His communication was above and beyond what was expected. I highly recommend Cole as well as the entire Shwebel, Goetz and Sieban law firm.

In 2012, my husband and I were in a bad car accident that landed us in a level-1 trauma center in Minneapolis. Only a few hours after arriving I received a call from my nephew, a prominent lawyer in Philadelphia (PA), who instructed me not to speak with any lawyers until he found me "the best" in the Cities -- and he was true to his word. John Dornik came highly recommended and has certainly lived up to his reputation. Not only did John prove himself to be a deft negotiator with a masterful grasp of injury law, he is a warm and compassionate human being who never thought twice about making himself available to help us navigate the endless medical and disability forms, or to simply offer a word of encouragement or advice. It is no understatement to say that I'm not sure what we would have done without him!
And when it came to negotiating the settlement, he made sure we understood the process and that he had a clear idea of our goals. With the insurance company, he was firm and reasoned.
In short, John Dornik truly is the best!!!

I hired Gabriel to help with a Workmen's Comp. case. He was very professional, easy to get a hold of, and returned phone calls quickly. He had a lot of knowledge in the process, and what I should or should not do with my current employer. He explained things in ways I could understand, and I always felt like I was in charge of my case. I would definitely use him again if I needed to in the future. I would recommend him to all my friends and family without a doubt.

Denise was one of the most helpful people when it came to my accident. The Insurance companies were pushing to get things settled as soon as possible. Between her knowledge and the needed information, I received a better settlement than I thought possible. Denise is highly knowledgeable about what has to be done and the time frame. THANK YOU so much, Denise, for everything!

I took the advice of a friend to meet with Denise Fullerton at Fullerton Law. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the process, what to expect from the insurance companies, and how she could support me in receiving the care that I needed for some of the lasting effects from a car accident. And she was there every step of the way. Denise was prompt at answering our questions. When the insurance companies challenged some treatment and medical device expenses, Denice was an incredible advocate and fierce defender on my behalf. It is clear that without her expertise I would have been stuck with an impossible heap of medical bills. Thanks to Denise we avoided that crisis entirely. I will always be grateful for her tireless effort, and most certainly will recommend her to anyone needing an excellent lawyer.

We found ourselves in a position where we ended up in a legal battle with our city over negligence on their part that caused significant damage and displaced us from our home.

Konstandinos (Gus) Nicklow of Meshbesher & Spence provided phenomenal legal representation for my mother who was a pedestrian victim of a car accident. He treated her case as if though it was his own mother's case!
Even prior to be retained, Gus thoroughly informed us of the legal issues involved and clearly explained the potential risks and rewards of alternative approaches to her claim.
Gus' exceptional communicative skills eased the process tremendously. He is communicates in a proactive and timely manner as well as is prompt to respond to phone calls or emails and is readily accessible to meet in person when necessary.
Gus Nicklow provided legal representation above and beyond our expectations and is highly recommended!

A colleague recommended Meshbesher & Spence to us and we were glad he did. Gus Nicklow represented us with our automobile accident claim. We had never dealt with lawyers before, and we were somewhat nervous about starting the process, but Nick quickly put us at ease. He calmly and clearly explained the process, and answered all our questions. Claims can take months to be resolved, but Nick and his assistant, Janna, kept us updated and continued to advise us as the case progressed. Gus was able to settle the claim to our satisfaction, and we were able to move on from a bad auto crash experience because of this. I would highly recommend Gus Nicklow to any of our family members or friends.

I’m a 36-year-old software engineer living in the Midwest. Most of my early life I never had good credit. 3 months ago my credit scores were 580 low 600s. I was obviously not happy with those scores so I started to clean up my credit. Opened 2 secured cards; Discover IT for 200; Navy Federal secured for 250. Did the pledge loan as well; self-account, stellar fi, boom for renting reporting, cap one only a 300 limit. Asking a family member to become an AU on their BOA still nothing changed instead my credit score kept dropping. Thanks PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST after reading so many reviews about them. When I got in touch with PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST my story changed for the better. He helped me delete all negative items on my credit report within 6 days. My current score now is 806 TransUnion 811 Experian and 802 Equifax. Here is his contact info:

Mike Lammers and the team at Heirmerl & Lammers have represented me in multiple sitations, both with my personal legal needs and my company’s. Mike took on a case for me against a large local company with powerful “downtown” attorneys and got me a great result. His perseverance and creativity saved me and my company thousands of dollars and precious time. If anyone wants a lawyer that will represent them with aggressive defense and get the best possible results plus provide that personal 1 on 1 representation that larger firms can’t, then call Mike Lammers at Heimerl & Lammers.

I formally worked as a young professional in high-level management roles, the most recent being a combined role as a Senior Director of Operations and a Nursing Home Administrator (NHA). I contracted a severe, life altering illness (listeriosis) as a result of food poisoning. It caused permanent brain damage resulting in significant, lasting deficits that ended my former career. To be brutally honest, the effects have been utterly devastating. However, I am so thankful to Eric and his colleagues at PritzkerOlsen. He led the team that helped ensure some measure of accountability to those we believed responsible. Nothing can ever make right the injustice done, but his caring nature and his desire to doggedly pursue the case make him a hero in my eyes. I am now able to begin to think about what is ahead as I seek to find my way through a radically changed reality without constant financial worry. I also don't have to rely on my parents for financial security the remainder of my life. For an advocate like no other that believes in what he does and will work to hold those responsible accountable, you could not ask for anyone better than Eric Hageman.

I am a young adult that was involved in a terrible, life changing accident. I was terrified for what my future held. Without the help, guidance and unwavering support from Eric Hageman, I would not be where I am today. Not only did he win my case with an outcome better than I could have ever imagined, but he truly saved my life. Throughout the whole process, Eric stood my side and was a warrior for me when I was not strong enough myself. Eric is personally invested in helping to rebuild his clients lives every day. I am forever grateful for his hard work, dedication and compassion.

Two years ago, a friend and I were hit by a pickup truck crossing the street with stop lights. The guy who hit us was trying to avoid a red light and didn't see us. Because there were no witnesses or videos set up at the intersection, we didn't proceed as we didn't think we had a case. I just received from the insurance company of the gentleman who his us offering us a settlement. Jeff made phone calls and did the paperwork to help me get the settlement!
Jeff is a great guy, wonderful, very professional and worked very hard for me! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a terrific lawyer!
Thank you, Jeff!!

I had never before been involved in a motor vehicle accident and I was overwhelmed. Between the medical bills and the insurance adjusters and the legal ramifications, I did not know who to turn to for help. A friend recommended that I give Tentinger Law Firm, a call. I called them and explained my situation and they told me that first and foremost, I should concentrate on recovering from the accident and that they would handle the rest. Tentinger Law Firm took on not one, but two insurance companies and they fought hard for me. And as a result, I was a most satisfied client of Tentinger Law Firm. If you need a lawyer who will fight hard for you, Ross Tentinger is the one! Thank you Ross!

It isn’t every day you need to go out and find a lawyer and the thought of it made me want to hide under the covers and stay there. Through a referral, I found Pam Rochlin and the Rochlin Law Firm. Pam made the process so easy and I just let her guide me, relying totally on her knowledge and expertise. What immediately comes to mind is the attention to detail, patience, understanding, compassion & empathy, providing all the support I needed throughout the process, resulting in a very satisfactory resolution of my case. I wholeheartedly recommend Pam and the Rochlin Law Firm for your personal injury needs. You won’t be disappointed.

Pam and her team are exceptional! The expertise, support, and level of care that they provide can't be matched. Our daughter suffered a dog attack at a young age and we were unsure of what options we had. The experience was overwhelming and emotional to say the least, and Pam helped us all along the way, and was critical in helping us have a positive outcome and do what we believed was the best thing for our daughter. We will never forget Pam and the support that she provided our family.

I could not have asked for a better attorney and accompanying team than what Pam, David, Christina and Tony provided.
Just a few months after the loss of a very close family member, I was in the back of a ride share vehicle that was stopped at a stoplight.
Seconds after the vehicle had come to a stop, a negligent driver crashed into the back of our vehicle at an excessive rate of speed.
The impact caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to the ride share vehicle. The aftermath left me dazed and in pain; with damage to my brain that was visible on subsequent MRI screenings, and temporarily out of work.
An acquaintance of mine who had heard of the situation, recommended that I speak with Pam.
Pam agreed to meet me near my home to discuss the incident. With compassion, she took down my account and helped lay out the foreseeable future.
'Your main focus,' she said, 'is to focus on healing, we'll take care of everything else.'
Over the next 2 and a half years, I was able to do just that.
Dozens and dozens of appointments; ranging from physical therapy to vision screenings to urgent care visits would follow, but if I ever had a question, Pam or someone from her team was there with an answer, or the assistance, I required.
I never once went into one of my own scheduled appointments, or an independent medical exam, feeling overwhelmed or at odds with my own healing.
My main priority was to get better, and Pam and her team were always there to remind me of that and to relieve as much of the ongoing burden from me as was humanly possible.
Now that my case has been resolved, looking back on it all, it is pretty incredible the amount of time Pam and her team put into helping me.
From filing a claim almost immediately after our consultation, to getting compensation for my lost wages, to helping me recover ongoing expenses in an almost real time fashion, to making sure that everyone of my medical bills that I incurred were paid, and paid for in a timely manner. All of that requires so much paperwork to be filed and so much attention to detail to be given, and Pam passed every test with flying colors.
Sure, the experience wasn't completely without distress, the team of attorneys on the other side did their best to discredit me and my claims, to devalue my experience and losses and attempt to diminish my injuries to nothing more than conjured fiction.
But Pam and her team held steadfast, they fought back (using facts and tact) and encouraged me to do the same.
And I am so happy that I did so.
If you ever find yourself injured due to the negligence of somebody else, I strongly encourage you to contact Pam Rochlin.
She's as advertised folks.
I am so thankful to report that I have mostly healed from my physical and neurological setbacks, and due to her diligence, I was able to offset a large chunk of the financial damage incurred (and avoid ever looming bankruptcy & potential bank forfeitures) because of what she was able to recover.
Protect your rights, and hire an advocate that'll do the same, you will not regret it!

I had some estate planning to take care of and wasn't sure how to go about it. Eric Miklasevics is an attorney in my neighborhood that was very easy to work with. I felt very comfortable asking questions and he was able to work with me in a style that made sense. I'm 40, so this stuff isn't exactly what I think about all the time. Eric brought up good questions when I was figuring out my Healthcare Directive.
What's great about Eric is that, while he's very knowledgable, he doesn't present himself in a way that is intimidating or stuffy. My perception would have been that this would be an uncomfortable process that would make me realize just how much stuff I didn't have. I'm not a rich person, so "estate planning" for me was about taking care of my partner and my dogs when I die. Pretty bare bones, but I didn't feel stupid for asking Eric to do it.

Eric represented my adult child when she needed legal services as a result of problems with substance abuse. He was knowledgeable, quick to respond to phone calls, very supportive of my daughter and her situation, but did all of this in a professional manner without being codependent; as a result, she was willing to face some consequences for her behavior. In addition, his fees were very reasonable.

My car was totaled in an accident just when I was in the middle of a stressful and busy time in my life. I hired Eric to handle negotiations with the car insurance companies involved, and I'm so glad I did. He made sure the insurance company provided me a rental car, got a quick resolution and I walked away with a higher settlement than I'd expected. But most importantly, he quickly and responsibly managed all the details with the insurance companies so that I didn't have to worry about a thing. He made the whole experience much less stressful.

I was involved in an automobile accident and was seriously injured. After the accident I was overwhelmed with the medical bills, handling property damage claims, and dealing with the insurance company so I contacted Frentz & Frentz Law Offices. Immediately I felt that I was in good hands. Nick explained the claims process to me in a way that I could understand. He and his staff assisted in making sure bills were submitted to the insurance company and health insurance, plus helped with my wage loss claim. I felt that they cared about me and wanted to obtain the best results. I was very pleased with the settlement.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and I hired Tentinger Law Firm to represent me. I could not be more pleased with the results. They were extremely professional and they also encouraged me to contact them with any and all questions and concerns I may have had. I was kept apprised of all offers that were made by the insurance company as well as what to expect if the case went to trial. Jay Tentinger, with decades of experience under his belt, is more than qualified and up to the challenge of going up against mammoth insurance companies. His staff are extremely dedicated to their profession, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. They return telephone calls, promptly and they make you feel as though you are a part of the Tentinger Law Firm family. Thank you Tentinger Law Firm, from the bottom of my heart. If I ever need another law firm to represent me, my first and only call will be to Tentinger Law Firm!
I highly recommend Tentinger Law Firm to handle your legal issues. You will not be disappointed!

Mike Bryant was a total life saver for me. I was in a motor vehicle accident with a severe neck injury and he and his staff took care of everything so I could just take time and heal. They worked hard to settle my case and keep the insurance companies off my back. HE IS AMAZING!! If you want a professional, caring, on top of things attorney Mike Bryant is very HIGHLY recommended!!!! I never imagined my bills would have come to what they did and Mike got all of my bills paid for and made sure I was taken care of. I never thought I would need an attorney but after my team of doctors told me to seek his help I understand now why as the bills were HUGE!! I will forever be thankful for everything he did for me as I got the treatment and help I needed and all the bills were paid. Thank you Mike you are the BEST!!

I was involved in a car accident on 11/12/2013. The other driver involved totally denied that he was at fault. After the fact that he hit my vehicle forcing hi vehicle into my lane, causing a huge damage to my vehicle. He also gave false accusations about me to the officer that came to the scene of the accident. Fortunately, i was able to find Attorney David S. Rochlyn and he was able to prove to the other driver's attorney that his client was at fault.

Very upfront and honest about the way he does business. He referred me to two other attorneys that were much closer to where I reside due to the fact he couldn't sleep well knowing he is charging thousands in drive time not even court time. I would definitely recommend this attorney if you are from the area.

It's been really great working with Pat and Robbin. Individual cases are likely all pretty complicated (even the "simple" ones) and mine was no exception. I know Robbin spent quite a bit of time working to gather information, make calls to various interested parties (many multiples of times) to move the process forward, and communicated with me whenever needed. Pat was able to go through and explain the process and procedures, prep me for what to expect and give me sage advice on how to tell my story.
Life gets busy, but you can trust that this team will continue to grind against the corporate machine so you don't have to.
My life was greatly impacted by my accident but having support from this team has taken a lot of the stress off of my shoulders.
Thank you!

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.
