Rather than actually listen, he was abrupt on initial phone consult and hung up before the conversation was even over. Waste of time. His company's website states they handle property damage, but they do not. Plenty of other attorneys out there; look elsewhere!

As a fellow personal injury attorney, I have had only great experiences working with Cliff Shapiro. He is a wealth of knowledge and a leader in our field. His insight, intellect, and thoroughness are unmatched. He leaves no stone unturned; is aggresive, but respectful in his approach and genuinely cares for his clientele. Cliff is an ethical model for attorneys everywhere and I highly recommend him and his firm.

I didn't have an idea that I could get compensated by the car insurance for my injuries. I had an idea that they would cover my hospital fees but didn't even think I was going to get close to $30K for compensation. I was very naive and the insurance company doesn't tell you what kind of rights you have. They just want to get things out of the way very quickly. Somehow I found this video of Max on YouTube and decided to give him a call. And boy, I'm glad I did. He's very professional and friendly. It's like you're with a family member. You can trust him very quickly and he doesn't talk like a lawyer with riddling and complicated language. He explained to me everything in a way that I was able to understand very well. Anyway, I would highly recommend Max. He's very good. I guess it's experience. I'm 40 years old and I think he said he's been practicing for 45 years. I mean, my parents were just getting married when he was already in court handling cases! Thank you Max. Lisa C.

Max is one of the most personable attorneys you'll ever meet. He's very caring and confident. I guess it's his 40+ years experience. The building I was living in caught on fire. He was able to get me a great settlement. He made things very easy and he was swift. I didn't have to do much. He did everything for me with his team. He's very straight to the point and get things done. I actually was surprised with my settlement. I was expecting less but he negotiated for me to get a lot more. I strongly recommend him.

He promised alot but in the end he delivered very little. Would have to make at least 10 calls before he would return one and then he was filled with double talk. Once case was settled he took a huge chunk in "filing fees" but never produced any documents showing me. I could say alot more but I wont bother. His only concern is himself and every conversation would somehow lead around to his golf game. If you use him be prepared to be intimidated by the company he keeps.

I don’t understand how you don’t know who clients are. I wrote a review 5days ago right after Richard spoke to my father that day. By pretending as if he doesn’t know me or my father shows how underhanded this attorney is. Then you respond to my post but I can’t respond back. But I do have proof of the voicemail Richard Kenny left directly on my phone stating that he can’t release my father money due to no response back from Medicaid which we all received back in 2023. Plus it shows how he speaks down to people as well so if he paying people or asking for great reviews please don’t because everything I stated on google was true and I have proof

I wish I could give more stars. I am honored to express my gratitude, appreciation, and experience with Mr. David Cohen and his team. About a year or 2 ago, a family friend of mine went through a very difficult period. We were fortunate enough to be referred to Mr. Cohen and have him represent my friend during a helpless time. As a graduating law student, I want to share my experience with Mr. Cohen as I sat along side my family friend throughout the proceedings. I could not have gained a better insight into the real life practice of a criminal defense attorney. From start to finish, Mr. Cohen was persistent and fought for his client - providing brilliant legal strategies and responses to anticipated opposing counsel arguments. As a student, law school serves a (great) purpose - learning the law. But real life work is a different adventure altogther. Observing Mr. Cohen practice and successfully represent someone so dear to me was nothing short of inspirational. The firm went above and beyond what could have been expected from legal counsel. They were prompt, available at all times, and provided unwavering support which instilled a very much needed sense of confidence. The outcome would not have been possible without Mr. Cohen and his team. I am sure of it. And so this expression of gratitude is just a minor token of our appreciation. I, personally, am privileged to have learned from Mr. Cohen as I enter the legal profession. And I know my friend is beyond grateful for Mr. Cohen. It is hard to express in words! Thank you for everything.

I don’t think I could ever put into words the kindness, sympathy, intellect and professionalism that these attorneys showed to myself and my family. Cory Forman and David Cohen were literally life-savers. To give a brief background, my mother was stuck in Europe after she mistakenly traveled on an expired permanent resident card. I thought that she would be stuck for months alone in the midst of a broken immigration system, with delay after delay to her documents. Cory and David somehow knew exactly how to solve this situation and immediately made all the calls necessary, spoke to the right people, filed the right things and pulled off nothing short of a miracle. My mom was back home safe and sound on American soil within days. She was treated with the care and attention by this entire firm as if it were their own mother stuck in some foreign country. Safe to say, there is no where else I will go for all immigration concerns from here on out. 5 stars is not nearly enough for the great job these guys did. A true class act all around, we are forever indebted to them.

I am still in the process of suing someone who hit me from behind. (7/2013) I just recently had surgery as a LAST(3 /28) resort. I had to do ALL of the leg work fighting with the insurance company to get this approved. I was hitting a brick wall. I finally received a call back and spoke directly to him asking him how much money my case could generate and it got the ball rolling. Letters were FINALLY sent out to aid in getting this surgery approved. It took me 6 months to get results . Linda, his secretary, while awesome, definitely put you off and makes you think that Randy is working on your case when in fact he has no idea what's going on. He does NOT return your calls in a timely manner. But I'm sure his hand will be out for his third of the case. I am not an expert, and have never sued anyone before. But I thought that hiring a lawyer was supposed to help you get results When spoken to, he has to find your file to look at it. Either he's in the weeds and needs help or is incompetent I have yet to decide. I had surgery 3 weeks ago and have asked for advice. I have re sent the request 3 times. perhaps I'm naive but I could use someone to help walk me through this process. I think a call to one of the higher-ups might get me some positive results I will send a new review when this is all said and done. When ask below if I would ever use this lawyer again that answer is up in the air. We will see what the end result brings

I HIRED RANDALL RICHARDS AND WAS APPALLED AT HOW I WAS TREATED. HE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY OF MY PHONE CALLS (FOR OVER 7 MONTHS), I WOULD CALL TO ASK WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH MY CASE AND HIS RECEPTIONIST WOULD MAKE EXCUSES THAT HE WAS UNAVAILABLE TO TALK WITH ME, SHE WOULD LIE AND TELL ME THAT HE WAS DOING THIS AND THAT ON MY CASE WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT HE HAD NOT. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM HIM BY PHONE OR MAIL EVER. I WAS BESIDE MY SELF FOR OVER 7 MONTHS JUST WAITING AND WAITING FOR SOME SORT OF RESPONSE THAT i NEVER RECEIVED. I BELIEVE THAT HE WAS JUST STALLING ME AND MY CLAIM. I AM SHOCKED AT HOW SOMEONE GAVE HIM A 5 STAR RATING, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE FIRST CLIENT REVIEW THAT WAS A ONE STAR! BEWARE OF THIS ATTORNEY. HE IS UNPROFESSIONAL THERE ARE OTHER WORDS I COULD EXPRESS ABOUT HIM THAT I WON'T USE, LET'S JUST SAY "HE IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY" PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU ARE THINKING OF USING THIS ATTORNEY!

I had a very poor experience with this attorney. First of all, he is supposed to be representing clients who have sustained bodily injury and he talks more about his own injuries (which he always seems to be recovering from) then the clients. Secondly, although I am aware that this is a business, it is quite irritating when an attorney treats a case with an expected large judgement very differently than those with a potentially more moderate award. Thirdly, he is very short staffed and is overwhelmed with handling even the simplest tasks which wind up taking an undue amount of time to complete. This creates a domino effect where important components appear to be rushed. In conclusion, there are better choices out there and if I had to go through this again I would look elsewhere.

I needed a lawyer to represent me in a criminal defense case and I chose Mr. Gross because he offered his services way less expensive than others. However, soon after I experienced his attitude and working behavior, I firstly regretted my decision to work with him and secondly got an idea why he is less expensive than other lawyers in NYC. The thing is, if you need help and assistance you definitely don’t need an unfriendly, ignorant and unprofessional lawyer on top of that. What a bummer, waste of time and money.

I can’t believe it’s been 8 years since my accident, and since then I been to other law firms . Which they explained to me that Justin wasn’t doing a good job and how I should sue him for the way he handled my case, when I spoke to him after leaving a honest review on here two years ago. He IMMEDIATELY called me and asked me to take the review down if not he WOULDNT be helping me with my case. The nerve to say that to me in a such nasty voice and as a threat. Well I never took it down and I guess he paid someone to take it down for him and paid other people to leave good comments for him. But the truth is he told me that him and Fred were not in business any more and not representing me on my case from 2016 . He is not trustworthy and not the type to keep you informed on your case. He tried to make me feel like he don’t know what to do with my case now and that Covid was the reason he didn’t do any work. The other law firm told me that they WANTED to take my case years ago for my accident and he called over there with his connections and stopped it . Telling them my firm did so much work for him please don’t take my client. I swear on my kids this guy in more fraudulent then a $3 bill. And I want him to know and the rest of these paid actors he got to talk good about him . Stop leading people to this guy. He not that guy. We all seen him on TED with the sorry childhood story to act like he got a heart. I heard his lame story and I can promise you he know how to look you in the eye ,lean in and give you that spoonful of I got game in a soft voice while staring into your eyes with a bunch of bologna behind it. Now since the last chat we had which didn’t take but 5 mins to get the last call from him maybe 2 years ago. Please take the review down he pleaded. Wait to I reach out to the BBB. He been on my case since my hospital bed in Jan 2016 and hasn’t produced results. As a matter of fact he added another lawyer to help to the case which I’m not going to mention his name. But that man has been trying to do something at least answering phone calls. Justin Blitz is like a Puffy Daddy that signs artists so nobody else can help put their music out and they become famous. He stopped their growth. If he can’t get a piece of the action than nobody can eat. WATCH out for him, I’m a regular amputee guy and he’s a this big time lawyer with 5.0 rating, LMFAO that’s not what I seen last time I came on here. He paying people for comments. There’s a God and he watching you and how you treat people. This guy is soul less. I asked him for the video footage of the train accident years ago and he never got the video footage for me and I didn’t see it until 2023 since 2016 and it was the other lawyer who made that happen. Don’t hold your breath and expect for Justin to help you. He wants to look good and play smart with his glasses on and his carisma but we who know really know. Be honest at least. One lawyer said you only spent about $5000 on my case or less from the work you did and that was in 2019 he told me that . He wanted to buy the case from you. Now you place me in a time sensitive situation not that Justin caring like I said. I could have been had someone else on my case years ago and not have to leave this comment in here. But you Justin want to be rude and treat me like less that a human being you never took time on my case . The time we went to that train station together was the only time you showed interest and that was when you first had me sign in to be your client in 2016. It’s about to be 8 years and I’m still suffering from my injuries. You should be ashamed of yourself . Fred told me to go get a job and not feel sorry for myself with a amputee leg. Now I finally got a prosthetic leg and got the will to got back to work and ended up in a car accident . So if that’s their idea of helping me . You better off going to a third world country and getting help. These guys are not professionals and your better off with someone else.

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.
