Jarrod and his team listened and cared about my daughter and her injuries. They were always on top of things and so accessible at all times. Their goal was the best outcome not the first settlement offer. I appreciate that they were there for my daughter and had her best interests at heart. Many times, things seemed so overwhelming to deal with, but they handled it and took the stress of of me. I could have never navigated what needed to be done without them.

He was honest and realistic. I felt he was fighting for me personally. His results speak to his commitment, he was able to secure 3x as much as what other attorneys were willing to fight for. I absolutely have no criticism for his performance and in the way he interacted with me.

Mr. Guilfoil is a great attorney! I am extremely grateful for Paul Guilfoil's legal representation in my son's criminal case! Mr. Guilfoil has a great reputation and a great working relationship with the State Attorney’s Office. He was able to plea this case down to one of acceptance. A decision of this importance takes time, patience, and a clear head and this attorney (and office) fully handles this the best way possible. Mr. Guilfoil was very accessible and returned messages in a timely manner, with some being after regular office hours! My son and I highly recommend Mr. Guilfoil as your criminal defense attorney and guarantee you he will work hard to get the best possible outcome for your situation as he did with my son.

Truly blessed to have found this lawyer. Even though not a felony charge, enough to cause a major headache and 2 months of anxiety. Paul from the beginning gave an outcome of his thoughts on the case, even though there was no guarantee and I was on edge until the State finally dropped the case. Paul was very knowledgeable of the law, very professional, understood the system, kind and patient and had the experience to ascertain a situation clearly. I had faith in him the whole time and felt he always represented my best interest. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

I have known Marianne for several years i have observed her in court and in trial. She was always prepared and i knew that if i ever needed a personal injury attorney it would be Marianne. In 2010 i was injured in a vehicle collision and i hired Marianne to handle my case. Marianne did an excellent job on my case , she kept me informed and up to date with the proceedings and she was able to resolve my case prior to trial. I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Marianne to anyone who is in need of a personal injury attorney. Marianne works for the best interest of her clients. You will be treated as an individual not just another number.

When a family member was involved in an accident, Mr. Ellis was always on point with the insurance companies. He took extra time, even outside normal business hours, to explain every step of the process to put us at ease. He obviously understands how insurance companies work and how their lawyers, and other parties' lawyers, can sometimes be less than honest! Mr. Ellis always responded to my calls and emails. I have found him to be open, honest, competent, and tough! I would highly recommend him!

Clay was the right lawyer at the right time. I was rear ended and had to have two disc replacements. His manner was aggressive when that was needed but also one of the most compassionate people I’ve ever met. He truly cares about his clients. His staff always made sure that my calls were returned promptly. They were also extremely knowledgeable throughout the whole process. I know he has handled some huge cases but I felt like my case was always a priority with him. My settlement check was substantial which was such a blessing. You won’t go wrong if you hire Clay!

In October of 2018 my husband was involved in a car accident as a back seat passenger. He was seriously injured and as a result, out of work for over 3 months. When we began to realize the severity of our situation, we decided to hire a lawyer. We couldn’t be happier that lawyer was Randy Briggs with The Briggs Law Firm. From our first meeting, we felt that Mr. Briggs only had our best interest at heart. He made us feel comfortable and answered every single question we could think of. Over the next few months, he worked endlessly which resulted in the best possible end result for us. We are so happy we hired him & his law firm and would ABSOLUTELY recommend them to any & everyone we know. Trust me when we say, there is no other lawyer you want on your side!

Beware of this law office. I was referred to the Ocala office for an employment case spoke to Nanette. I called them to discuss a very good case that I have that another attorney was going to take but could not do it because he was suing the same company. This law office wants to charge clients $200 for a consultation to see if the attorney will take your case, an attorney that works on a commission base should never charge a consultation fee do not fall for these scams. It is not standard practice to charge a client who is going to hire attorney on a commission base. We are interviewing the attorney you are not interviewing us.. The other attorney spent 45 minutes on the phone with me. Actually it was his paralegal and I was not charged a dime and the new attorney that I hired today did not charge me a consultation fee. I think you make your money by charging consultation fees, not by winning cases.

This is a real review from a real customer of hers when she worked at bogan's muns and muns. I was around 18 years old when this happened I am 36 about to be 37. I had a horrible car accident where somebody rear-ended me I was sitting at a dead stop in a 91 Camaro and I got rear-ended by somebody in a crown Victoria doing 55 miles an hour and they never hit the brakes it took out the c3 and c4 in my neck, the L5 and s1 in my lower back where sciatica is and my t11 so pretty much my whole spine was destroyed at around 18 years old she tried settling the first time for like $10,000 and she would have got a third of that so I would have ended up with 7500 all of these injuries are degenerative the doctor said the only reason he doesn't recommend surgery for me is because I was young and the side effects could be morbid those are his words exactly so if she was a good lawyer she would have known that this is a permanent issue that I have and it's just going to get worse as I get older so we said no we are not settling for that and she was trying to convince us to settle for that so she could hurry up and get the case over and get the money she ended up getting it up to more for me but not much now I'm about to be 37 and I'm trying to file for disability because all those issues I had are degenerative which means only get worse if she was a good lawyer she would have known this and got way more money and they had the insurance to give me but she couldn't pull the strings to get the proper job done so I ended up pretty much having enough money to buy a truck and start a company and I did but I'm still mad because at the young age I was she should have known I was never going to be able to do what I wanted to from that point on yet she still settled on something low only because she just wanted to get paid she doesn't care about you all she cares about is making a dollar off of you and I just seen that she was disciplined and her license was taken away and she wasn't allowed to practice in Georgia she's a horrible person and a horrible lawyer. I was trying to figure out a way to sue her for basically failing me. I'm 37 and can't lift over 27 lb for the rest of my life and that's what they told me when the accident happened but now all the injuries are worse and that is real I can't carry over 20 lb right now without pinching my sciatica or messing up my neck and having a horrible headache for a week on end. She should have known what all this was going to end up leading to and got me enough money to where I could actually do something with it no and I was really mad when she tried to settle on 10,000 I don't know how she still has a license but I'm pretty sure there's a reason why she's not at I think she had to start her own practice because nobody wanted her. I mean seriously I've been living a long time hating this woman wondering is there any way I can get her and when I go to look at her online I find out that she has been disciplined and her licensed was taken away from her for a while yeah, a good attorney gets their license taken away. So do yourself a favor and stay away from this woman find yourself a real lawyer. And she is absolutely fake

To say you have an "honest" attorney seems like a solid oxymoron, but Mr. Cannon is one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of having for representing our family! In addition to his honesty, he is very knowledgable - an expert in his field, and reasonable. He's easy to talk to, explains everything well, and will not mislead you. He is very patient and puts better than 110% in his work to represent you and fight for your rights! He's noble and by far the best attorney I've ever known! And his staff is amazing as well! We strongly recommend this attorney!

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.
