I am in the process of studying aviation with the hopes of becoming a commercial pilot. I engaged with Mr.Hanaford when the FAA questioned my criminal background. Mr.Hanaford immediately answered my calls after hours and produced results in well under 24 hours. I have much more confidence in my future and look forward to a promising career in aviation. In addition I will be trusting Hanaford Law with any/all criminal cases moving into the future. Thank you!

I inquired about Robert's free 30 minute consultation for my DUI, in which, he responded immediately. He called me the following day and after explaining my situation he provided all the information I needed to begin my process for my license reinstatement. He also directed me with additional resources that will help with my process in getting my drivers license back.
He is very informative and proactive in advising steps to take. I highly recommend this lawyer.

I arrived at court early one day and listened to the judge, the prosecutor and defendant all talking about the attorney I hired named Derek Verderamo. Each of the three spoke about Derek in glowing terms and I could see that he is held in high esteem.
And this is very important information to start with. We are all human. Do the judge and prosecutor you have even like your attorney? How would you ever know? Derek has great working relations with the people who hold your future in their hands.

After our initial consultation with Justin Caldarone, we knew that we had hired the best lawyer in Naples to represent our daughter's case.
Mr. Caldarone was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and always responsive and sensitive to our concerns.
Throughout the case Mr. Caldarone was very reassuring and personable as he guided our family through a very stressful case. He always made sure that he explained the process thoroughly and answered all of our questions in a manner that we understood and felt comfortable with, which made going through this case with our daughter a lot more calming.
I cannot express how grateful we are for meeting Justin. He is not only an absolutely great lawyer, but he is certainly a very caring human being. After getting the state to drop the charges and then having her record expunged, he took the time to give our daughter guidance so she could understand the implications of her actions going forward in life.

Unbelievable attorney and after this experience I can say an incredible friend as well. Justin saved my life literally from a felony charge that I knew from the bottom of my heart I was innocent for and should not have been arrested for. He was professional, kept me in the loop, explained everything he was doing and kept me up to date with the progression of my case, and in a matter of days was able to get the state to drop the charges against me. This man is literally doing gods work, and treated me like a friend and not a client. Words can’t explain how grateful I am to have met Justin and had him represent me from start to finish ultimately proving my innocence. I couldn’t have asked for a better man to retain for my case. Thank you one million times over and god bless you Justin. If you need an attorney you seriously don’t need to look further than Justin.

I do not live in Florida and that made choosing a Florida attorney a little more difficult. A Florida family member had passed passed away late in 2014 and we needed to probate the Florida estate. We ended up retaining Mr. Mast after speaking to a number of attorneys. He was by far the most candid and most reasonable. The estate was not particularly complicated and Mr. Mast did not try to embellish or justify why he needed to charge an inflated fee. His fee was most reasonable and his final bill was exactly where he projected it would be. It was refreshing not to hear an attorney "sales pitch" - a tactic that other florida attorneys used to try to justify why their fees should be higher.
He was knowledgeable and always promptly responded to our questions. He filed all papers in a timely manner.
I have no hesitation in recommending him and I am very glad we retained his services.

The whole staff at Weldon &Rothman are extremely helpful always call back to answer any questions or concerns. Always good to have a lawyer who goes 100% My friends and family all asked, "Why did you hire a lawyer!?" Being that I am more than capable in legal matters. I said," Sometimes you need to let the "Lawyer" do the talking!" Morgan Jones is well spoken, especially in law. Wonderful demeanor easy to work with and will surely go to bat for you!! I was elated when she agreed to take my case. Very anxious about the outcome, since we were dealing with the Federal Govt. Ms. Jones made me feel secure and walked me thru the entire process. Unemployment law is tricky if you don't know. Many thank yous to you and your entire staff Ms. Jones!!!! I will certainly refer in the future.

Excellent experience! Catherine took on my case when no other attorney would even meet with me to discuss my case. Even though the case was complicated she agreed to take it and got me fair compensation. She was very patient and thorough with letting me explain as well as explaining all steps.

I hired her to handle my car accident case in 2019. In January 2021 due to the Covid situation I had to move from Florida to another state. I called and told her about the moving, the new address but same phone number. Guess what. she never called me , never responded my calls and texts no communications at all. Each time I called her office I left her messages said I wanted to know about my case. She never got back to me. In July Last year I went to Florida to talk her about the office closed always. Finally, I used another phone number and called her she answered because she didn’t know if it was me.
She told me the insurance made her an Ofer if she could accept it or fight for more. I told to her just take it . because I don’t want to deal with her she not professional ,tired of her that’s why . She said ok she will take it ! Since that day she never answered my calls and texts. We are going to make a complaint against her next week. I will give you an update guys.

I strongly advise against hiring Ruth D Orange as your lawyer.
I engaged her services for my divorce and auto accident, both occurring within a month of each other in the summer of 2021. Regrettably, her performance was severely lacking. Despite initial impressions, she failed to fulfill her duties, resulting in significant financial losses on my part.
Communication was a major issue; she frequently ignored my attempts to contact her, and I even came close to missing court dates because of her lack of responsiveness. In the case of my auto accident, she strung me along for three years, falsely claiming that my case was pending while never actually filing a lawsuit despite my injuries.
Despite lodging complaints with the Florida Bar, no meaningful action has been taken. It's concerning to see someone like her continue to practice law without accountability.
I've spoken with other individuals who have had similar experiences with her, further confirming my concerns. Despite my efforts to seek redress, I've been unable to find resolution due to the perceived lack of seriousness by the Florida Bar.
Please, for your own sake, seek legal representation elsewhere. Ruth D Orange's behavior, including making false statements and neglecting her duties, is unacceptable.
Exercise caution and explore other options for legal assistance.

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.
