I hired Granite Law Group for a car accident I had. At first, communication could have been better with obtaining my records. Attorney Matt Maaloof and his paralegals, Kristyn and Jazmin were able to settle the case 7 months later avoiding a trial. There were a few minor things I wasn’t pleased about, but overall I am pleased with Granite Law Group. I highly recommend this law group.

Atorney Snow approached my case with integrity and care. He complied the necessary information and documents quickly and accurately. He handled himself with authority and poise in the courtroom. His wise counsel and effective representation helped to secure a win for me in a very complex and volatile divorce case. I am forever grateful for his help, and I highly recommend Attorney Snow.

I have been acquainted with attorney Brian Snow for 15+ years. He became my lawyer when I was running a business. He not only improved my contracts by adding necessary clauses and making them air tight, he was also there for me whenever a legal matter arose. Several years later he handled my divorce which was a very emotional ordeal. He was understanding, patient and once again took charge of what was needed to be done. And lastly, he helped me with the ordeal regarding the sale of my house. There were multiple problems that occurred and he was there to answer my questions, intervene with other lawyers and the real estate agents, offer support, and humor. The positive outcome was due to his hard work and diligence. There is no other person that I would use to handle any legal issues. His knowledge of the law is excellent but for me what has really made the difference is that he treats me with respect and cares about my well-being. He is the kind of lawyer, all lawyer should esteem to become.

I was referred to Kevin from an old friend. I don’t have much small business knowledge when it comes to the paperwork etc. Kevin answered all questions and helped me tremendously through the process of purchasing the gym I work(ed) for! He was very attentive, timely and through. I plan to use him for future work! I highly recommend him.

Atty Kevin G. Collimore is best characterized as the people's attorney Fighting for the common person In pursuit of justice. You and your family need a Attorney that Actually listens, returned your phone calls in a timely fashion keeping you up-to-date with your case, providing options in your best interests to prevail with the best outcome for your family or business. Atty Kevin G. Collimore is a remarkable human being that cares about people. When a serious matter occurs you want the very best at your side in a courtroom pursuing justice in your best interests. Unfortunately many law firms are $ expensive arrogant and aloof When dealing with the general public, this Law office serves the common people in all disciplines of law. Hopefully you will never need an attorney but if circumstances Require the services Highly recommend making an appointment with these folks in Nashua New Hampshire.

I can't remember how I was introduced to Peter but I can say he has been extremely helpful with my case. He gave me all the information about the legal process and when possible asked for my input with decision making. I can honestly say he is trustworthy and I've referred several people to him or his firm, which if you knew me you'd understand that is highest compliment.

Peter took on my personal injury case and was very informative of how this process would go and took the time to really dig into the specifics of my case and figure out what would be our best approach. Just before trial, we closed out this lawsuit with the opposing party. Peter took it right to the very end and made sure that my settlement amount was fair for what I had endured from the crash. Would recommend 10/10.

Attorney Kerrigan had represented me with a legal issue for the past year and I feel he has done an outstanding job. He has kept me informed and up-to-date, and has guided me and my family through a very difficult time. He was very knowledgable and I believe his experience was one of the factors that led to a feasible conclusion to what otherwise could have been a very lengthy and costly litigation. I would certainly recommend attorney Kerrigan to anyone who requires legal assistance.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, Tim was introduced into my life a little over a year ago. He was referred to me by a friend that spoke very highly of his work. I was previously with another attorney that had minimal accessibility and no vestment in my case. Well, all that changed when I met Mr. Tim Goulden! His availability is unheard of in this realm. The first phone call was on a Saturday morning, and several other calls even up to the current day are outside of his office hours. Tim is a stand-up guy, his experience, pro-active and detailed skills he brings to the table are very reassuring. Yes of course, he is doing this for his career and to obtain an income, though that is not at all the impression you get from any interaction with him. He truly wants to help people move on from their legal challenges and enjoy life. Tim treats you with respect and is outstanding at ensuring you understand every step throughout the process. He is honest and candid, he will not give you an expectation of something he doesn’t think he is capable of. The meticulous breakdown of the documentation, the actions of the occurrence and all the knowledge he brings to the courtroom from his experience in law enforcement are astonishing. It’s impressive to see him work and get the outcome he anticipated. I have gained a dear friend out of this process, I would be willing to do almost anything for him, even mow his lawn, lol. Along with the legal counsel he provides, he is an excellent therapist and sounding board when you need it as well. 😊 All joking aside, if you don’t choose Tim to represent you in your legal matter, you will be sadly disappointed.

I am writing this review to express my most sincere thanks for the professional representation Attorney David Gottesman provided over the past several weeks. Having worked with Gottesman & Hollis for several decades I can truly attest to the fact they are one of if not the best law firms in New England. Davids professionalism, swift responses, and attention to detail is second to none. I was originally referred to David as I was told he was one of the most ethical, honest and knowledgeable attorneys in New England. They were correct. Whenever I need legal advice or action, David is always the Attorney I call.

mike is top notch and he wasn't like other lawyers i had met with, or just looking for money... He actually cared about me and my well being ..I was facing a dui , accident and jail time and mike got me a minimum license loss with no jail time... I will never ever go through this again , but mike was so amazing to work with and having him by my side telling me everything would be okay is what i needed.... if you need someone to look out for you and that knows what they are doing , Hire Mike Anzalone he is the best of the best...Can i add that he called me even after he was done with my case to answer some questions , No lawyer does that .... so just goes to show how great he is and is an attorney that actually cares!! thank you Michael:)

Unprofessional. Shady. Sketchy. When I first called he acted like he was so happy to work with me. He got his down payment and said I had until my next court date which was in 2 months to pay the remainder. He called 2 weeks later demanding the money so at the end of that week I tried to call back to pay him. I called every day with no answer. Not to mention during the whole time I was dealing with him he was hard to contact and never returned any calls. I then got a letter in the mail with a check for my down payment saying there was a communication error and that he didn't want to continue working with me. No. The communication error is that I have called and called to try to pay him and he refused to work with me. He is the most unhelpful and unprofessional "business man" I have ever dealt with. I would not recommend to anybody.

I was rear ended. I contacted a couple lawyers but none wanted my case. One said my injuries weren't severe enough, the other just never got back to me after our first talk. I was going to give up, but I called Mike Anzalone. He talked to me about my injuries and how the accident happened and really made me feel like he gave a damn about my case. Well I am so thankful he did. I ended up with a five figure settlement. I cannot express how happy I am with Mr. Anzalone and his staff. Especially his secretary, I think her name was Kathleen. She was very helpful. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Anzalone Law Firm to anyone with an injury. Even if another lawyer blows you off, or just makes you feel like they don't care about your case. Call Mike Anzalone, he will take care of you. He definitely helped me, more than I could've expected. Thanks Mike!

Kent Barker handled a personal injury case for my partner involving a dog bite that tore my partner’s rotator cuff and resulted in needed surgery which caused lost time at work, and many medical bills from hospital and physical therapy. Kent was able to negotiate a settlement on our behalf that not only paid the Medicare expenses but also our bills and covered lost wages We would not have been so lucky or successful in this pursuit without Kent’s assistance. Furthermore, both Kent and his assistant Taylor were extremely transparent and communicative during the entire process. They are a great team with wonderful professionalism and attentiveness. We thank them for helping us close the chapter of an unfortunate incident in a positive way.

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.
