Matt was very kind and thoughtful. He was always available to talk to when I had questions or concerns. He and his staff were very professional and thorough. They did a wonderful job handling my case. Highly recommend!

04 Apr, 2024 by Dale doherty

The day I walked into Matt's office for the first time for my personal injury appointment almost never happened. That day I had just received my accident report from state police and it stated that I was responsible for the tractor trailer driver's accident. I was in an accident on I91 and suffered cervical spinal cord damage. I was shocked to read that on the report because no ticket was issued. Matt was very easy to talk to while explaining my side to him--his positive and reassuring attitude was calming. By the time my appointment ended, Matt was my counsel and not only did I have a chance--he ended up over time negotiating a settlement on our terms! I can't say enough about his experience and expertise! I 100% recommend Newborn Law for anyone needing legal counsel for personal injury!

I am so pleased to recommend the Ward Law Group! Attorney Ward represented me through my Social Security Disability application process. The entire process can be quite daunting, but Attorney Ward and his staff made it so much less scary! I would recommend for anyone who needs help with this type of application to "get thee to the Ward Law Group" without wasting any time. They were wonderful to work with (so easy to talk to and very warm and professional) and I had a positive outcome (thanks to them!).

Attorney Ward took my mother's SSDI case and delivered. Now she is approved and that has been a sign of relief for my family. If you need an experienced and caring SSA benefits attorney to represent you, look no further!

16 Nov, 2023 by Dorina

One of the BEST decisions I ever made was to hire the Ward Law Group in August 2020! Attorney Ward's entire legal team, especially his extremely diligent paralegal, Lori. There are seriously not enough words to express my gratitude. She is very efficient and put me at ease from day one. Not once did they make me feel like "just another routine" SS Disability case; I was a real person who needed help. When I met Attorney Ward at my hearing in May 2023, I understood why he and his legal team are the BEST! I am forever grateful and will always highly recommend the Ward Law Group!

Neil and his team were a pleasure to work with. They incredibly transparent and patient, and made sure to be crystal clear while explaining everything we were doing. I never felt pressured in anyway and all in all I would absolutely recommend Neil and his team!

29 Mar, 2021 by Maureen

Months after an injury that just would not heal, I contacted Attorney Neil Nicholson, for some clarity and guidance. From our very first meeting I knew I had contacted the right person. Clarity about the process and honesty and integrity are what I got from Attorney Nicholson. He clearly explained the process, the options and what the litigation would be like. Both Attorney Nicholson and paralegal Brittany Donovan kept me up-to-date, patiently explained answers to my many questions, and responded quickly to all of my concerns. I would have considered all of that to have been enough and great service, but it didn’t stop there. In every communication with them, their sincere compassion and integrity shone through, and the peace of mind this gave me is what I feel makes them top-notch. I would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Neil Nicholson and his firm to family, friends or anyone needing legal representation. In my opinion, they are the best.

16 Feb, 2021 by Kris

Atty Nicholson took a very complex legal case of ours in 2018, when the odds were stacked against us, and successfully worked to get my husband a pardon from the Governor of NH for crimes committed as a youth. Communication was frequent, and calls/emails were always promptly responded to. He was extremely knowledgable of the law and was able to articulate himself well in court. He kept us well informed of case developments and helped our family understand the legal process, making us feel like family. I would highly recommend his law firm!

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.

It was great pleasure of working with Attorney Maalouf and Jazmin Riviera at Granite law firm, they took the time to thoroughly understand my case, answered all of my questions, and provided clear guidance throughout the entire process, their attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me was truly outstanding.

Doug Grauel and his team are willing to go to bat for you. He helped me out with a workers comp case that was difficult to win and he pulled it out. He and his team are kind and professional Thank you again Doug.

28 Jun, 2021 by Dave

“For the first time in my 60 years, I finally experienced what it is like to have legal representation that I absolutely knew and felt were unequivocally advocating in my best interest! From our initial consultation on a difficult worker’s comp case, to a successful resolution that spanned several years, Attorney Grauel and his outstanding paralegal Diane were in my corner every step of the way. They fully explained the laws that govern workers comp in NH, and how those laws would and did apply to my case. The calm guidance and advice without all the over-hype allowed me to make informed decisions without feeling pressured. In addition to getting my workers comp case settled, Doug and Diane also took an active role while assisting me to clear all the hurdles required to secure and receive Social Security disability benefits, an effort for which I cannot thank them enough!” I you have a worker’s comp case you absolutely need to be represented, and I highly recommend the Grauel Law Office! Sincerely, Dave

I hurt my knee on the job in 2016. The workers comp insurance company agreed that the knee was injured on the job and paid for PT and a meniscus operation. I was still in pain after the operation and insisted on another MRI. It was determined that I would need a total knee replacement operation. The insurance company told me "you don't need a lawyer" , then their lawyer sent me a notice that I needed to go to an Independent Medical Examination. That's when I found Doug on the internet. Long story less long, he took my case and won unanimous decisions with four mediators at two different hearings at the Department of Labor. I got my knee replaced after 2+ years from the initial accident and Doug was amazing. Highly recommend his services. I would not have prevailed without him.

I've worked with attorney Kirk on two different cases and he is great and knowledgeable. He really cares about his clients and works with the disenfranchised and abused fighting for justice.

28 Jun, 2019 by Frank

I knew Kirk personally and talked with him when I had been terminated from a job. He is a careful listener and was able to explain what the problem was with my termination. Kirk and his team worked with me to form a complaint, giving me a realistic expectation of the process, timelines, and likely outcomes. Everything went about the way Kirk said it would and I am pleased with the whole process. And I would recommend anyone wanting to be told the truth to consult with Kirk.

13 Jun, 2019 by Chip

Kirk treated my case with great personal compassion and genuine concern. He always put my own best interest first and when decisions needed to be made, he always advised and explained the full pros and cons of each option and put me in full control of making each decision. Kirk is quick and considerate with his responses, and you can always trust him to keep you informed and advocate relentlessly on your behalf! I will continue to highly recommend Kirk and the rest of his hard working colleauges to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate law professional.

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.

21 Mar, 2018 by Peter

I have known and worked with Brian both as a colleague and as a client overprobably 20 years or,ore. He is absolutely at the top of his profession and has my highest recommendation.

10 Sep, 2015 by Janet

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.

Supremely professional and above-board, diligent and meticulous, she is also very pleasant to work with.

Christine's approach backed by 25+ years of nursing experience made my situation feel less tense and more manageable. She has managed to successfully resolve my issue without formal hearing with NH Board of Nursing. Attorney Christine's advice was exemplary and I sincerely recommend her for your consideration.

I reached out to Christine to discuss an accident I was in. I didn't have any experience in these types of situations and relied on Christine to help guide me. I found Christine to be very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. She assisted me through all the different processes and steps that needed to be complete. I feel she represented my best interest.

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.

I am so grateful to Charlie Donohue for the support he provided to me during a recent auto accident. My injuries were not visible - it was emotional and caused an increase in anxiety as I attempted to get back to driving (especially in the are of interstate where the accident happened). Charlie walked me through recovery - because that was what was most important to him. It wasn't about making money - it was about getting me back on the road and working through whatever was causing this anxiety so I could resume my daily routines. I am now driving with confidence and owe it to Charlie for his caring and compassionate care of ME. Thank you so much.

Can I say Bravo Bravo 15 charges can I say suppress!!! This is the guy you want on your side!!! NOT GUILTY!!!!!! THANKS TIM!!! You are the man....

07 Dec, 2023 by Carin s

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.

We had a fabulous experience working with Brent. He is patient, thorough, and provides detailed advice (that is clearly grounded in decades of experience) throughout the entire process. His presence at our interview was also greatly appreciated and helped relieve some of the anxiety we had going into it. Brent's services don't just end when you receive the approval - he also provides extremely helpful and comprehensive advice that one should always keep in mind post-change of immigration status. Thank you Brent for representing us and making this process as smooth as possible. We are deeply grateful!

It was truly an incredible experience working with Matt Cox and the Burns, Bryant, Cox, Rockefeller & Durkin team. They were extremely professional, committed and honest.

Don't sleep on Attorney John Durkin and his amazing team. If you're on the fence, don't wait. We had very complex pressing needs that were met with rapid knowledgeable, compassionate support, and we were treated like family. Mr. Durkin & his paralegal Sandy, never left us guessing. We were many states away & it always felt as if we were right next door. We had a time pressing matter, & mistakingly reached out to a notorious over advertised firm that promised us the world & ran out our time, never responding. Mr. Durkin & his firm are salt of the earth, genuinely caring folks who work tirelessly no matter what comes up. They practice true transparency & informed consent, so you always know where you stand above and beyond anything you'd expect. Their kindness, professionalism, swift action and devotion is invaluable and unmatched. Our family will never forget this firms treatment of us. Hand to God, they're everything and more, when you require help. This firm is everything+.

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.

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.
