Eric represented us in a medical malpractice case. We knew we had been screwed by a botched surgery which required a second surgery to fix but we had no idea how to proceed or how much to ask for. Eric told us how much he thought we could get and that was exactly what the hospital eventually settled for and ten times what they initially offered.

I was in need of some legal advice over a contract for selling puppies. I am not a wealthy person and was In desperate need of legal advice and had called a few different attorneys around and left messages and never received a call back from any. So today I got on line and was praying I got ahold of someone today. I called one number and Jeffrey Robinette answered the phone himself and was more then willing to speak to me. I told him My situation and what my concerns were and that I definitely didn’t have lots of money to hire an attorney but I was scared of the unknown and what lied ahead for my family and I, if I didn’t get some advice or a lawyer for my situation. He was more then willing to talk to me for a good while and give me advice on my situation and great advice at that. I would recommend him to anyone and will from here on out to anyone I hear say needs an attorney. He never once made me feel as if I was anything but a paying client or that my situation was any less important to him. Knowing that he is an attorney that gets payed a lot of money an hour for his services I was a little nervous about even calling but he made me feel welcomed and helped me more then he will ever know . Even told me to call him back for any help and advice I may need anytime ! AMAZING MAN In my Eyes and will be the first name out of my mouth for a lawyer to anyone from here on out. Thank you so much .

My Son was injured by a negligent care giver back in Dec/2007. My son grew up with special needs. Even tho he had special needs, my son was a very happy person, & he enjoyed his life. On Dec.2,2007 my son's life changed for the worse. He was in the hands of a care giver who was suppose to be caring for him on that day. This care giver was suppose to be at my son's home, Instead, this woman took my son to her home to be with her boyfriend, there he ended up with a spinal cord injury & this injury took all my son's abilities away from him. My son can no longer walk, feed hiself, & he is now total care. But most of all my sons Joy is gone. He is no longer that happy person who once walked around clapping his hands & humming. But thanks to Dino Colombo who represented my son in this law suit & fought for my son to get a fair settlement. My son will never have to sacrifice for the things he needs for the rest of his life. He has purchased a van equipped for a wheel chair, A home with 17 acres of land in a rural area, top of the line hospital bed, & any equiptment he needs. He also goes on vacations & takes week end trips if he desires to do so. I can remember the winter this law suit was taking place, & it was a snowy winter. it seemed like every time a deposition was scheduled a snow storm would come up.But the snow storms didn't stop Dino Colombo, he was always there.Dino always kept me informed about the case & everything that was going on with the case. He called me numerous times during the law suit, & he always made sure I understood everything. Dino Colombo wasn't just a Lawyer he was our friend & he still remains our friend to this day. If it wasn't for Dino Colombo my son wouldn't have the things today that he needs to make his life better because of these injuries. There would be no wheelchair van, no home to accomudate his wheelchair & his bed would be a medicade hospital bed which isn't too good & very uncomfortable. But Because Of Dino Colombo my son has everything he needs to make his life better for him. No, the money can't replace what happened to my son or put him back the way he once was. But it can help his life be a little bit better & he can have the equiptment, etc he needs now because of these injuries. Even tho my son has adjusted to his injuries & can now smile again, he will never be like his old self. We use to do alot of things togeather him, & I.... And I really miss that. I will always be grateful to Dino Colombo for his hard work & dedication to this lawsuit. Without Dino Colombo's help my son's life would not be what it is today. I WOULD recommend Dino Colombo to anyone who is seeking a good Attorney to fight for you & get you the settlement you deserve. Dino will stand by you, & he will do everything he possibly can to get the job done. Without the help of Dino Colombo my sons life would not be what it is today. I will always be grateful to Dino Colombo.

Dino Colombo sat down with me, explained everything in detail, and gave me the information I needed to feel comfortable about my case. I was really scared after being hurt in a car accident and didn't know if I should believe what the insurance company was telling me. Dino took the time to make me comfortable with the process and secured a favorable result. Highly recommended.

I suffered a serious and debilitating injury several years ago when I was hit by a drunk driver. When it came time to hire a lawyer I wanted an experienced trial lawyer with a well earned reputation, and quickly found that Dino Colombo was the "go to" guy in personal injury law. Having experience in the legal industry over 40 years myself, I recognize a good lawyer when I meet one. They don't come any better than Dino Colombo.

Martin is an attorney with the Robinette Legal Group. His ethical standards are excellent. He worked on my no fault personal injury claim to get the maximum settlement for me. He also secured a settlement to repair my damaged antique vehicle completely and did not take any fees for doing that. He kept me informed and I felt very comfortable with him.

I was hit by an ATV operated on a highway in rural WV while I was riding my Motorcycle. I lived, but shattered my shoulder blade, broke my right hand and tore my knee. Thank God the jerk had insurance but unfortunately it was State Farm. Even though the guy got a ticket for operating on a roadway, State Farm denied my claim; coming up with all sorts of stupid reasons why me getting hit by an off road vehicle with no lights, signals or plates was somehow my fault. To add insult to injury....it seemed nobody wanted to take my case! I called every attorney in the greater Morgantown area and was told that It wasn't quote: 'a slam dunk case'.
Thankfully Jon Godwin of Columbo Law agreed to hear my case. I went from nothing, to getting every penny due to me. Medical expenses-paid. Property damages-paid. Even an Under-insured claim against my own insurance to cover lost time from work. Jon was helpful and understanding, working with me for almost two years until resolution; and only making marginal profit on my case. He advised me on insurance law, policy limits, and even what to say and do 'heaven forbid' when/if this happens again.
Thanks Jon, and Columbo law for taking my case; thanks for everything.

I contacted Jared T. Moore at The Moore Law Firm, PLLC, to represent our family in a school abuse case involving my Special Needs son. Mr. Moore was given the highest recommendation from a previous client.
Mr. Moore greatly exceeded our expectations of an excellent attorney. All communication, either by phone or email, was prompt and all terms, processes and procedures were explained clearly. I was always kept up to date with my case and always felt well informed about any changes regarding the case.
Mr. Moore went above and beyond to not only make sure I was comfortable as a parent advocating for their child, but also showed respect to my Special Needs son. He is firm, tenacious and assertive when he is representing his clients.
My experience with Mr. Moore dealt with educational law and school abuse; however, I would feel confident with him representing my family in any situation. The reality is if you want a hard-working, knowledgeable, empathetic, and supportive lawyer I would recommend Jared T. Moore.

Spoke to Bill Frame, he was interested in my case, signed release forms, provided photos & CD with all my records. Bill Frame said he'd send them to an expert & get back to me within a few weeks since the case was time sensitive. After several weeks, I called & was told he was too busy to handle my case. WHAT! Bill Frame dropped the ball. Only words to describe how I view Bill Frame is unprofessional. Bet Bill Frame would be disappointed if a member of his family was treated this way. Not a man of his word.

Kristen Antolini presented to the court, blatant and intentional LIES..... In documents and testimony...... Just to get kids removed. She lied and committed perjury so she could achieve removing safe and happy kids!!! She is a monster..... I question her character, her integrity, her sanity and sobriety..... Bc normal ppl would never do such an evil and vile act!!! Using her title to over shadow her crimes and her relationships with prosecutors, judges etc to hide her dirty deeds!!

I hired Kristen to represent my son in a misuse of a credit card case in Morgantown. She was very attentive, careful with using money given as a retainer, and - most important - really cared about my son and getting him an outcome that would allow him to deal with his drug problems. In the end, Kristen even returned what was left of my original retainer money that had not been used in dealing with several court appearances. She is a really good attorney!

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.
