Mr. McArdle is a very stand out and stand up motorcycle wreck attorney. When nobody else would even take a look at my case he did. His honesty and goodheartedness is what sets him above all others. He was straightforward about every aspect of my case. And those facts right there were everything I was looking for in an attorney as well as a law firm (honesty, sincerity, kindness and willingness). The television advertising law offices turned me down because it was not an easy victory for them. I now know what those television law offices are all about and truly despise them as companies.

Scott was great. He actually cared about the well-being of my family after our wreck. He and his office staff were available for us any time for any need or questions. He recovered all that our family deserved and was very personal.

Nicholas is very impressive young man, I would recommend him to anyone needing his services. Nick is polite, kind, caring, understanding and a great friend. Nick has a wealth of knowledge. He has surrounded himself with some of the TOP attorneys in Montgomery and Alabama in general. One thing about Nick is if he does not correctly know the answer he will let you know it and get the correct one instead of guessing. He is more than prepared when engaged in litigation he is quick and sharp. If you need a law firm or lawyer Nick and his partners are more than capable. I am more than willing to recommend him. Please have Nick contact me if you have any questions or would like to speak to me personally before making a decision.

This firm helped me (in 2009) collect a debt that was owed to me by an unscrupulous company that hired my company to perform a task, but failed to pay. Allred & Allred fulfilled my request with a very quick turnaround time, and top-notch service. I highly recommend hiring these lawyers, and trusting that they are not out to milk you for every second of their time. Thanks David!

Mr. Azar has represented me several times over the past 15 years. I have always found him to be attentive to my concerns and informative about the areas of the law that pertained to my issues. His representation to the jury or Judge as in specific cases was professional, precise and forceful. He was able to prevail in each instance thereby serving his client well. I would recommend Mr. Azar to anyone with the need for legal representation as it relates to personal injury, credit collectors, estates, wills, real estate and commercial litigation. His expertise in these areas will afford the best possible results rather in negotiations or in court.

I have not had the opportunity to have to hire many attorney's in the past. Just one for my divorce & now Mr. Luck for a mistake I made. The best decision I ever made was retaining Mr. Luck. I never do reviews but I felt it necessary to maybe help save someone's life some day. Being a 30+ year enforcement officer I have seen nearly every attorney in this area in court room action and there are some dumba%€#@@ out there. I assure you that the legal disclosure that attorney's have to place with there ad "saying that the legal representation of this attorney in no way constitutes that the legal services performed is better than another attorney (or something in that affect)" is a whole bunch of bull%#£@&!!! Attorney's are no different than any other professional. There are much better mechanics, doctors, carpenters, and so on. So there is a vast difference in the quality & the expertise of the attorney that you hire. And let's face it, if you are hiring an attorney then your very life or way of life is on the line. Do your research & do not hire an idiot. Mr. Luck has his crap together & I would highly recommend him without question. Let's face it, usually when we need an attorney you are probably not having a very good day. You are scared, confused & it feels like your life has been turned upside down. Are you going to put your life in an idiots hands. I thank not. I was referred to Mr. Luck through a mutual friend & he came highly recommended. I am very pleased with the work & the time he has spent with me. He has always had the time to sit down with me & explain what is going on with my case. His knowledge in different areas of the law is excellent. We are still in the middle of my situation but I can tell you this, we have had 2 major & 1 minor issue come up & he has won each of them. Not only is Mr. Luck a dang good attorney, he is a very nice & humble man that actually cares for his clients. In my opinion, he is even better than advertised. So do yourself a favor if you end up needing an attorney from anything involving criminal charges to child custody / divorce and everything in between. This man will be there for you & he will fight for every ounce of your rights & then some. I am not a paid endorser. I wish I was and my legal problems would just go poof.! I am a regular person just like you & don't think it can't happen to you. We all make mistakes & when your car breaks down are you going to use that Chinese part that cost a few bucks cheaper just to only leave you on the side of the road one day? If you are like me you will fix it the right way the first time & never have any troubles with it again. Do the same when it comes to your life & hire the best man for the job & give yourself the best chance to survive. Please take this from a man that has 30+ years of experience in the legal system & knows the best when I see it. Hopefully you will never need an attorney but if you do, take it from me & call Mr. Luck. You will not be sorry. Thanks Terry, for believing in me & being there for me.

I called Attorney Long to find out information about child support and he gave me the MOST information I've ever had on this journey of about 18yrs!!! I have personally had conversations with attorneys face to face and they never took much of an interest. They just made me feel like another case that would be added to their pile of cases. Although I am tired of going through the motions with a parent that is committed to not paying, Attorney Long has encouraged me not to give up! I feel that with the information that's been povided it's given me more insight as well as a will to keep persuing this unlikely situation. I'm most appreciative and confident that things are now about to move forward!

Not only is he knowledgeable of case details and insurance policy/procedure, he provides the client a level of personal trust and professionalism that brings peace of mind. Choosing this firm and having Mr. Canon represent my case were the easiest and best decisions I made when pursuing my claim with the insurance company. Nobody will work or fight harder for a client to get a result than Ryan Canon and Morris Bart & Associates!

From the moment I spoke with Ms. Whitman, I knew that I could trust her and that she would look out for our best interest. I thought that my case would be simple since my daughter was hit as she traveled through the intersection (green light) when the other vehicle ran through the light that caused the accident. Simple, right? Not so simple. Misha took the time to explain the Alabama law if an individual is found even 1% liable for the accident, the insurance company could deny the claim. She found an error in the police report and drove to the accident site to be sure of her findings. She was extremely thorough and always pleasant to speak with. She laid out the facts and provided clear expectations. Early mornings were the best time to call me and so she made my timing fit her schedule. I hope that my daughter and I are never involved in an accident again, HOWEVER, if we Misha Whitman is the only attorney for us Thank you Misha for all you've done!

I called the firm and within 20 mins, Misha called back. I told her about the car accident and that my car was totaled. I am from another state and had the wreck in Vestavia so clearly I am clueless about Alabama laws and what to do going forward. She gave me a TON of information and advice that helped alleviate my anxiety and concern. I felt more confident knowing how to deal with the insurance and how to proceed from here. She took the time to give me specific details and answer all my questions. The consultation far exceeded my expectations. I've dealt with lawyers in the past and they give limited info unless they think you're worth their time. Misha actually cared and ensure I have everything I needed to get the most out of my case without strings attach. I highly recommend her. You will be so glad you did! I am so grateful I found her.

Although the services we were looking for she could not assist with , I think her energy and attitude shifted after she realized she couldn't help us or benefit from our situation.

I hired Stewart Vance. I gave him all the required information. He told me not to worry I was in good hands. Well, two months later I receive a letter from him saying he was not going represent me. After trying to contact him, he finally called back. He basically said there was not a lot of money to be made and it may go to trial. Stewart Vance failed to preserve critical evidence, which would have made this case so easy. Their law office bases the foundation of an accident on the police report. I was not listed at fault. Due to Vance's failure to preserve the evidence, the time-frame has expired to retrieve this critical data. In Law School and law enforcement training you are always taught to "Preserve" the evidence. Due to Stewart Vance's lack of professional work ethics and taking care of his client, he has made it difficult for another attorney in handling my case. Stewart Vance's advertisment should be "Call us if your case is worth a lot of money and we do NOT have to do any work.

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.
