John was extremely compassionate with me and was so helpful and interested in my problems. He did a lot of research to bring to court instances of other trials similar to my case. My case was a difficult one, and his insight and knowledge was very instrumental in bringing me a fair outcome. I don't think another attorney would have done as well for me.

After discovering that I had Legionnaire's Disease which I contracted from the Best Western Sovereign Hotel in Albany, which has a history of problems with this disease, I contacted Michael Conway who I knew from newspaper stories was representing several other clients with the same problem. Michael was kind enough to visit me at my home while I was still recovering from the Legionnaire's so I wouldn't have to make the trip down to his office. I had originally contacted another lawyer whom I knew personally but decided to go with Michael because he was already
deeply involved with other Best Western Legionnaire's cases. I always found Michael responsive and he dutifully kept me apprised of the status of my case by sending me all paperwork and staying in touch by phone. He answered all my questions in an easy to understand way. My case was settled by mediation, and thanks to Michael's and his team's efforts, I was remunerated nearly $36,000 in damages from the Best Western. I appreciate all of Michael's hard work and expertise and would heartily recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent personal injury attorney.

A family member was involved in a multi vehicle accident as a passenger and sustain some long term injuries due to the impact and her age. Attorney Conway has allowed me and other family members to ask questions, give input, be involved in decisions. His communication is clear, as well as his actions. He is sensitive and well practiced and controls the process and challanges carefully and artfully while not wasting time. You would be under excellent care in the service of Attorney Conway.

As a past client I had an excellent experience with Michael Conaway as my lawyer. He is a very dedicated, upfront and take action kind of lawyer. If you are not experiencing this with your current lawyer I recommend that you change lawyers and contact Michael Conaway. If results are what you want then Michael is your man. Thank you Michael for what you did for our family. Having closure after so many years of waiting is a wonderful feeling. Now we can get on with our lives. Thanks again! A very satisfied client.

After searching and interviewing several personal injury attorneys to discuss possible legal action for a head-on collision my family experienced with my Chevy Avalanche, I decided to meet with Michael Carner to discuss what could be done with my situation. When speaking with several lawyers I quickly learned unless the physical injury was very large many attorneys showed little interest. However, my truck was totaled and my family was transported to a nearby hospital where my wife was admitted. So while the injuries were serious they did not rise to be huge in terms of a legal settlement. There were some attorneys interested in my case but my initial discussion with Mike convinced me to have a meeting.
After meeting Michael his professional approach impressed me but there was a personal aspect that made a difference to me. As time went on with our case, I became confident my wife and I made the correct decision to go with Michael's law firm.
His staff was always responsive and we had guidance to navigate the process. Ultimately there was a settlement and MIchael's office always remained in touch as time went on.
I've worked with many lawyers over the years for many legal situations requiring more than my layman's law knowledge. While it's important to select a competent practitioner, there are other aspects to consider. Besides the expertise to work at securing the legal remedy being sought or whatever corrective measures may be needed, it's also important that the professional has the staff to support the efforts.
Michael Carner is not only a terrific attorney having a proficient staff but is a genuinely good guy. You will not be disappointed.

I hired michael carner to represent me in injuries i sustained from falling down faulty steps outside a residence in the course of my work. Since this was a personal injury case and also a workers compensation case it was imperative that i needed micheal carner to represent me with his vast experience in all assests of the law.
Micheal carner was very professional and diligent in my case. He used all resources available to him and was very conscientious to make my case a successful one including gathering and interviewing important witnesses, scheduling doctor visits, handling all communication that was necessary, proper documentation on court paperwork, court appearances etc.
My injuries had gotten worse with several surgeries as the case progressed and micheal carner made sure i would be compensated for my injuries and he was able to reach a settlement for 900,000 dollars in which i am grateful for due to his hard work.

I had a client that did not want to pay his final bill, this person was just a bad guy who tried everything in the book to get out of paying. Susanne was not having any of it, she was tough and shot down everything his attorney came up with. I was so impressed I hired her to do all my real estate deals and contracts. It's great to have someone you can count on and cares about you. I would recommend her to anyone.

I was referred to Susanne when looking for an lawyer to handle the sale of my retail sales and service business. I had engaged a different lawyer previously and the sale did not take place, though no fault of the attorney. But I am able to make a comparison and Susanne was so much more tuned in to what I wanted, why I was selling and truly looked out for my best interest. She was thorough and stayed on top of things at all times. Anytime something came up that was needed, be it be hunting down 30 year old liens that were satisfied but never released or guidance that I needed she was always very responsive in a very timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend her if you are looking for an attorney.

I had found Daniel Rubin through a recommendation after an accident.
From day one he was engaged & really wanted to figure out what had happen, how it would affect me, and what could be done to help. He was very clear & concise every step of the way. He was easy to have a conversation with regarding law & putting it in a simple, understanding way. He always laid out all the options, as well as pointing out pros/cons for each. Daniel was able to have a quick turn around time for my case & to receive a great offer.
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for expertise in this field.

I was in a car accident in January 2016 sustaining multiple injuries. I was referred to April Dalbec by a very close friend. Mrs. Dalbec was friendly, professional and knowledgeable at our initial meeting. Throughout my case, I was always kept informed. I could always reach Mrs. Dalbec or her team and when call backs were required, they were very prompt. Being able to electronically communicate was a further convenience. My case moved along quickly and was won. I would not hesitate to use April Dalbec and her firm again.

April M. Dalbec Esq. recently handled a case for me after a major accident that left me off my feet for about 2 months with serious multiple fractures. I had no insurance at the time so the week long hospital stay accrued significant financial liabilities, right when I was unable to work and in need of focusing on getting well. April's kind approach with me, coupled with her tenacity and negotiating skills with the insurance company and hospital billing department, left me in a significantly better position than I could have possibly been in on my own. She gave me hope, encouragement and in the end freed me from a substantial financial burden that would have haunted me for years. I am so thankful for her professionalism and her humanistic demeanor and would heartily recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. She gave me my life back while becoming my friend. Thank you so much April for being you and for doing what you do!

I met April in 2000 after my children were injured in the worst possible way. She was the first attorney from the firm tgat made contact with me and assured me she was going to help ,which she did more than I could ever explain. Not only was a very large settlememt made but she was my biggest cheerleader in this case that went on for quite some time. Her kindness and integrity went well beyond her role as an attorney. I have know her for 16 yrs and she still keeps in contact with me from time to time. She was AMAZING and I cant recommend her enough

Last week my company needed legal advice with an issue that could have easily gotten out of hand. I called the office of Mainetti, Mainetti and O'Connor, and was able to speak right away with Michael about my problem. He listened intently to all my concerns and was able to advise me on the best possible way to handle my situation at hand. Although he said he had never dealt with a situation like this before, I was very pleased with the solution he had presented me and I took his advice. Now after a week since the consoltation and doing what Michael had advised me to do, I know I had made the best decision possible for my company. I had been so stressed trying to decide how to handle my issue so my business would not be affected and hadn't know where to turn. I will continue to use Michael for my legal needs as he is extremely professional, receptive and knowledgeable in his field. I do recommend his services for anyone who, like me, needs great advice and support with problems that couldn't be resolved otherwise. Thanks again Michael.

I was in a car accident and after contacting Mr. Scagnelli, I was told to receive medical care. Peter J. Scagnelli was able to get my vehicle repaired, my medical bills paid, my loss wages compensated and was able to settle my personal injury claim for more than I ever expected. Peter J. Scagnelli is the "Go to Guy"

Peter came highly recommended. He represented me in family court over the last 3 years after numerous petitions filed against me. I feel unlike the large law firms where you are paying for overhead costs, copies, ever small question etc that he was fair, understanding and flexible to match my needs. Peter will give you straight forward answers and be realistic about your situation. There is a sort of peace in at least understanding the procedures as one goes through these difficult times.

I was a passenger who was injured in a car accident. I had a severe hip fracture that required surgery. Sidney came to my house to see me when I first came home from the hospital. She and her firm were very hands on. She understood that I was just coming out of surgery and could not come into the office. Sidney settled my case in 60 days for the full value of the insurance policy without having to go to court. I was able to focus on getting better while Sidney handled everything regarding my case. She kept in touch with me, gave me feedback about how my case was progressing, and was always straight forward with me. Sidney and The O'Brien Firm worked hard to get me the best possible settlement as fast as possible. I would definitely recommend Sidney and The O'Brien Firm to anyone in need of help.

I met Edward several years ago when I was looking for an attorney to handle some Landlord tenant disputes/evictions. As it turned out he was very well connected with the City of Buffalo and so he began working on some Housing court cases for me as well. Always got the results I was seeking and since then I have used Mr Betz for everything from a speeding tickets to personal injury defenses and everything in between. If he ever wasn't suitable for the particular need I had he set me up with someone in his firm or elsewhere that was. I really don't need to call anyone else when it comes to needing an attorney. Very grateful

Ed and his firm assisted me in purchasing a new property from an online foreclosure website. The site was very confusing, and I personally struggled to get information on the process. Ed helped me every step of the way and gave me the confidence to follow through with the deal, that I otherwise may have had to back out of. The firm handling the foreclosure actually did not have the proper documentation to close, Ed and his team stepped in and got the deal done.

Mr. DiMartini and his Law Firm have shown Care and Compassion not only upon our initial meeting but throughout my ordeal. With a sea of Attorneys in NYC and the negative things said about them an individual is skeptical and cautious in dealing with them. I can assure you my mind was put to rest and my apprehensions disappeared as I got to know My Attorney. Mr. DiMartini is a Professional in his field of Law, Extremely Competent, Knowledgeable and Cares about his Client's Well Being. So from my experience of being one of his previous clients I would give him more than five stars and highly recommend him to anyone who needed legal help for a wrongful injury. Thank You..Stuart DiMartini....NYC 2015

Rick is a friendly and professional lawyer. He represented me in an automobile accident. I never had to worry about the case in Rick's hand. I was always updated with new information about my case and I've had all my questions answered, even when I texted at 8PM for clarifications. Speaking with him felt like I was speaking to a friend; he always greeted me with a huge smile and spoke to me like I was his friend. This ultimately made me feel comfortable talking about my injuries with someone I didn’t know at first. And I never hesitated with asking him any questions because he always answered them right away. It felt natural to speak about the case because he truly cared about my well-being and went above and beyond for me. His communication skills and work ethics always put my mind at ease; he made it so that the entire process was painless. I didn’t need to worry about any part of it because he bestowed upon me a sense of confidence that I didn’t know I had. Everything that he said and did was to guarantee the best results. And it did. These are reasons why I trust his judgement & guidance. I am a grateful and content client.

Chris Obstarczyk is a highly knowledgeable attorney who handled my speeding ticket case with great care and expediency. He was particularly responsive and always kept me informed on the status of my case. I thought that I was looking at a big fine, increased insurance premium and tedious defensive driving classes. In fact, I never had to attend court and my ticket was reduced to a parking violation which (as someone who needs to drive every day for my livelihood) was a HUGE relief. I certainly don't advocate speeding and will absolutely watch my speed, but the penalties today can be overly severe.
I highly recommend Chris if you are looking for hassle free results. I can't thank him enough and I will absolutely call him for any of my legal needs.

We have been in Family Court since 2001 and have had numerous law guardians assigned so we understand the difference between a valued attorney who represents the most vulnerable of clients, and those that dont care have no real interest in the position and should not be in this postition... ...

I have used Scott Wooster of Wooster and Wooster several times and my sister has used him as well. Scott is a very compassionate, thorough and honest attorney that leaves no stone unturned. He keeps you informed on every aspect of the case so you always know how everything is going. If your case goes to trial he tells you what to expect and makes you comfortable with the process. He has been successful in all of the cases he has handled for my family. You can always feel confidant when Scott is on your side! I recommend Scott to anyone that needs a GREAT attorney.

Scott effectively negotiated a settlement with 2 insurance companies following an auto accident. He explained to us the basics of insurance, no-fault and tort law and set our expectations early. He remained available to us for questions and his office handled our no-fault claims even when initially denied by the company. Well recommended.

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.
