After my car accident, I selected John McCabe from the AVVO site because he was located close to my home. Boy, did I get lucky! The research he did, the explanations I was given, the speed of settlement and, especially, the outcome were all better than I could have imagined. There is no downside tohiring John McCabe.

Chris is fierce and incredibly resourceful on navigating insurance claims and fighting with adjusters. He is also very accessible unlike other lawyers I have worked with before. He gives you his personal cell number and actually answers it when you call. I have learned a ton from Chris and he has a lot of sophisticated negotiating strategies with insurance companies that worked well in my favor. I referred several of my friends to Chris and all are relieved to have their cases in his trusted hands. Chris works like he's hungry and he found more causes of action and one additional defendant than other attorneys I interviewed for my case.

I would like to thank Chris Anglin from Anglin Law Firm. I truly feel he went above and beyond as my lawyer to help me from beginning to the very end. If I ever needed him he was just a phone call away. Anyone that had Chris on their team would have no worries. I didn't yet,he work hard for me as he would for any client under his care. I personally would be happy to recommend him to others. Chris Anglin is an outstanding person, lawyer,and if you every have a chance to meet him you should.

We appreciate Daggett Shuler representing us in an auto accident. This was the first time that I have been involved in an accident. We wanted to use Daggett Shuler because we felt confident that our case would be represented fairly when dealing with multiple insurance companies. We recently closed and felt the compensation was fair. I know that if I, alone, had to deal with insurance companies, the compensation would not have been as fair. Thank you to the group at Daggett Shuler!!

My clients are my neighbors, my friends and my people. I care about everyone I work with. I care about everyone that loves and cares about my clients. Even though thousands of clients I represent each year are happy, it bothers me when a few are not. I realize that regardless of my efforts and intent, you can't make everyone happy. However, as long as I practice law, I will strive to be the best person and the best attorney that I can be for anyone that seeks my assistance.
That is my truth and I care about all of my clients and their loved ones.

Jan Pritchett has been an amazing blessing in my life. I got into some pretty serious trouble and have had to spend some time digging myself out. He was referred to me by another lawyer, and gave me a great rate based on that referral, and has treated me like family ever since. When I got sober last year, he would check up on me to see how I was doing, invited me to play basketball with him at church, always asks how my mom is doing, etc. He's also very quick to respond to any random questions I ever have and is very patient with explanations and advice.
Oh, how did my court case go, you ask? Well, he basically got it dismissed. He knows all the judges and is friends with lots of people behind the scenes, and is a master of "judge shopping." He's got one more thing to represent me on, then I'm totally in the clear. I do not think another lawyer could have done it this well. He is a great lawyer and a great human being, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Jan!!

THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!!
Initially, I was advised by a bondsman, another court official to not get Jan Pritchett. Simply because they watch many of their clients who retained him get “washed up creek” by the system. Unfortunately, I put my trust in the advisement of his frat brother which I shouldn’t have but I ultimately paid for it.
Secondly, after retaining him he feed me nothing but lie after lie about my case and how things would turn out. Other lawyers I’ve consulted with agreed that my case shouldn’t have even been in superior court with me having no prior criminal record. Even Jan told me that, but his poor representation of my case allowed me to “slip thru the cracks”. Was cold for roughly three years
Thirdly, My case was tucked away for roughly THREE years. I still had to report every month for roll call, but he did nothing to push my case forward. In fact, it wasn’t until I started showing at the office continuously, verbal disputes with the lawyer as to “what the heck” are you doing with my case that he just went and had them throw my case in front of jury. 1-day notice to me that this was going to happen.
Lastly, this was the weakest representation in the courtroom ive ever seen. I pulled him aside a couple times and asked him to focus on the things he said he would- all the lies the prosecution used to get me there, but he didn’t and ultimately I lost that case. Under his complete advisement I lost. I will never employ this firm again, not even for the littlest of my offenses, nor will I allow anyone I know to do so. Had I listened to the bondsman in the beginning I feel I wouldn’t be in the predicament I’m in now, but I guess that’s not his job to care.

If you are looking to establish a will, I highly recommend Molly Ciaccio. I was not looking forward to the conversation, however, Molly's knowledge, expertise, and friendliness relieved a lot of anxiety that comes with this type of conversation. I had lots of questions and some modifications, Molly accommodated me in such a cohesive way. The entire process was very smooth.

This firm cannot even handle a refi. Was told the wrong date for payoff checks. Never included account numbers on checks needed to payoff other accounts and then made a whole check out to the WRONG bank. Never took accountability for their missteps. Blamed the bank. WOULD NOT USE!!

Mr. Robinson is extremely an extremely knowledgeable attorney. he will fight for you every step or the way. He guides you along with compassion and understanding no matter how bad it gets or how long it takes. We had a difficult case and he stayed with it after we lost over a year previously.

We contacted Mr Robinson for a consultation. He was very prompt on returning phone calls and was very accurate as far as quoting the laws that pertained to our case.

Jeff got a ticket taken care of for me. It didn't hurt my insurance or my driving record. Later Jeff helped me settle up with an insurance company after an accident. He made them pay for my loss and much more then they offered before I got Jeff's assistance.

Not an great experience with this lawyer. Hired them to fight a bogus traffic ticket, ended up paying more on the ticket than the original charge. They did not seem to put any special effort into the case, they put it with a ton of their other cases on the same day, and were content to take whatever the DA offered them. You get what you pay for I suppose. They were near the cheapest among the traffic attorneys, and the service was just okay. Not particularly bad, definitely not great. If I were to be in the situation again, I would certainly try a different attorney.

Jeff represented me for a DWI, my first and only conviction. I was nervous and it was nice to have someone that was very personable to explain the process. He represented me at a probable cause hearing and even though it didn't go in my favor, I know he did what he could. Ultimately I lost, but he got my limited driving privledge for me and was there to answer and questions I had.

I want to first and foremost can't express enough of my gratitude
Towards the amazing team at Riddle and Brantley. I was in a really bad car accident. And after trying to work with the insurance company with the at fault party and they weren't willing to help me. I honestly felt like it was the end of the road, and no one was going to help me.
Then I contacted this company and man old man. I can honestly say they came in the clutch. I'm blessed and grateful to my lawyer Daren Dawson and the exceptionally gifted an incredibly sweet patient Case Manager Kalena Tavares for their time and effort and assisting me when I needed someone the most, they didn't just treat me like a patient. They treated me like family.
And I will forever recommend this amazing law firm for all of your law. Needs, thank you guys, you're the best.

Thanks for Metz Law Firm and Attorney Keith Metz. Had a simple ticket that was reduced to lesser charge. Process was painless and easy. Most importantly, Keith answered all of my communication quickly and was knowledgeable during the whole process. It is really appreciated that he responded quickly and took the time to make sure I understood everything. Hopefully will not need his services but if I ever do need an attorney in the future I will definitely contact the Metz Law Firm.

I want to start off by saying thank you to Northstate Auto Law and their incredible team. Attorney Rodney truly handled my case with remarkable attention and grace. From the very beginning, the staff was attentive, supportive, and professional, making the entire process much more manageable.
Rodney's expertise and dedication were evident throughout, and I am genuinely grateful to have had such a strong and compassionate attorney by my side. His commitment to my case made all the difference, and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
Thank you, Northstate Auto Law, for your outstanding service. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation.

In 2006 there was a really bad dispute between my partner and I over the final financial compensations for a large construction job we did together. Samuel Richardson was my partner's attorney. I was being accused of cooking the books for my benefit.
Samuel facilitated a conversation across the table at a neutral location to allow my partner and I to air our positions in hopes that we would not have to use the court system to settle our grievances. He asked pertinent and insightful questions representing my partner. I, representing myself, showed all my financial records [invoices and payouts] for the job in question. His final question was what our profit was. Upon my answer to him and my partner, he turned to my partner and said, "That sounds like a good profit, I do not think you have a case."
Samuel was able to convince my partner that I was not gouging him and that what I had done was on the "up and up", fair, and equitable. Not only that but what I value most about Samuel was that he preserved a friendship that has lasted the years since then. For this I am very much in debt to him even though he was the adversarial attorney.

Mr. Low communicated with me on a level that was easy for me to comprehend. I am not familiar with tenant law, but he made me aware of my rights and helped me figure out the steps I needed to take to protect them. He walked me through step by step- something any attorney I have ever hired has NEVER done for me.

I met Atty. Perry in August and called on him to represent me for a Show Cause and Child Reduction hearing in December. While he made me no promises, he said he would do what he could to get me a fair hearing, and did so. In fact, he was able to get me a Request for Modification scheduled for the same court date which saved me a lot of time, anguish and money. Even though my child support was reduced, it is high for my current income and other obligaitons, Thanks to Atty. Perry, now I can at least afford gas for school and work, and food. He did not overcharge me and responded to my questions. I felt a little weird that he didn' think it was necessary for me ot meet him personally before court.l But I was okay with that because I spoke to him by phone and had met him personally in the past three months. He seems to be a good, kind, compassionate, honest lawyer. I would recommend him strongly.

My husband and I are first time homebuyers, and the best decision we made (other than the house itself) was picking Midtown law as our closing attorney. Jason did our closing, while Matt and Angie surprised us with champagne at the table. Jason was so thorough, answering all of our questions and telling us the major things we need to know. Angie&Matt made our closing experience stand out. They made us feel so special and important. Throughout the entire closing process Angie’s team was on top of everything!! they kept us up to date with where we were at, telling us what we could expect. I swear they don’t clock out, everyone made themselves available on nights and weekends very much outside of business hours. This just shows how they go above and beyond to make your closing happen. All the paralegals were fantastic, especially their funder. She let us know the SECOND we were recorded. Seriously the best. I could not recommend this team more!! If you want a seamless closing process with the most attentive people—you need Midtown Law. Thank you again ! ☺️

Writing this review because of the unacceptable and costly administrative errors made during the handling of my case. Egregious errors include the attorney failing to prepare any argument points for negotiation, blaming his performance on his failing memory, double billing for hours already paid for, and ultimately *losing my settlement check* within his own office. He billed me for time he spent looking for the check he had misplaced, and withdrew funds from my settlement check without permission or providing a bill for services. I know these administrative errors are atypical for law firms. Unfortunately, I made a poor choice in choosing this firm to represent me.

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.

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.
