When my accident happened, I was lost and thought I was going to end up in a circumstance of total loss. I was unable to return to work for almost 5 months and with a family to support, not being compensated was not an option. I consulted with Mr.Feather and he assured me that my case deserved to be recognized and compensated. He dealt directly with my insurance company who did nothing but hassle me and try to avoid dealing with the situation at hand. Not only was he successful in obtaining a worthy settlement, but he was very professional, punctual, honest and empathetic to my needs. I would definitely hire him again if needed in the future.

I hired an out of state attorney to represent me on a defective product and I would never updates on my case. I contacted Attorney Feather, he looked into it for me and was able to get the answers for me. He met with me in person and went over all my settlement paperwork and helped me more money than the other firm. I would highly recommend his services.

Mr. Rosenberg is an outstanding attorney. From the minute he took my son's case, he kept us informed of everything that was happening. If I called him or emailed him, he would respond immediately. If we did not understand something, he would make a point to explain things so we could understand what he was talking about. I would highly recommend Mr. Rosenberg to anyone who needed a lawyer for and automobile accident.

Through no fault of my own, I found myself embroiled in a complicated multi-level governmental personal injury case. I was struck by a vehicle driven by a municipal employee assigned to a federal task force. I suffered significant serious injuries and loss of work time as well as property damage. I faced a legal battle against a defendant with unlimited financial resources as well as teams of experienced attorneys. In addition, the legality in governmental cases is quite complicated.
From the very beginning, Anthony assured me he would take care of me, and I should concern myself with my health and recovery, that he would handle the legal side of things. He kept me informed along every step of the way of a long, complicated legal process. His advice always came with an explanation of why he was advising of such. It took a while, but in the end I received a good settlement. I honestly could not have done it without Anthony. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a personal injury attorney. In my opinion, he is the best.

While riding his bicycle, my husband, Chris, was hit by a car whose driver ran a red light. Chris sustained serious injuries, and we knew that we needed to contact a lawyer to help us protect Chris's future, which will probably be full of pain. It was a good feeling to entrust Chris's lawsuit to Anthony's capable hands and not have to worry about the processes or the outcomes. We were able to focus on Chris's health needs and our family's needs (we have four young children) and did not use up energy on the lawsuit, as we knew that Anthony was taking care of it. Anthony was extremely supportive throughout the claim and advised us what to expect along the way. It was a true pleasure working with Anthony on such important matters. His care of Chris as a person and his concern for our whole family demonstrates Anthony's fine character, and it is clear that Anthony enjoys his work and helping others. We were fortunate to have been served by Anthony and highly recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent, knowledgeable advocate.

I hired Hank to help me after I suffered an accident. He was professional, thorough, and always attentive to my questions and concerns. He obtained the best possible settlement very quickly, far more than I would have obtained representing myself. I had a great experience working with Hank and would recommend him to anyone needing an effective attorney.

My wife was hit by a SUV while walking across our Street in center city. She was severely injured and needed two operations included a hip replacement. She was in the rehab hospital for six weeks and has made a great recovery but will be on a cane. Luckily we had excellent insurance coverage including both medical and under insured motorist. Bob and his team knew exactly how to work with and prepare for the insurance claim, The driver did have some liability and after investigation it was clear he had no assets or other insurance coverage. A bit more than a year after the accident we settled for almost the limit of the policy, substantially more than the initial offer from the insurance company. Bob gave us terrific advice and the people he works with really helped to make a difficult situation far easier to cope with.

Attorney Patrick Shannon has handled four cases for me over the past 18 years. As a retired engineer, I am a detail oriented person and thrive with factual information. Attorney Shannon always is professional, caring, and thorough in everything he does.
Also important to me is good communication and Attorney Patrick Shannon is an excellent communicator, both written and verbal. His office staff is professional, polite and efficient. He respects my schedule and is always prompt with our appointments.
The most important aspect is that I always know he is honest with me and acts in my best interest. He is open and explains the process and the situation to me.

I arrived at Graham & Mauer after several of the big firmed TV commercial attorneys declined to take on my Social Security Disability Appeal. Attorney Graham is very tech saavy and allowed most of our exchanged to occur via email (which saved me driving time and energy). She kept me informed and up to date on what I'd need to collect and I remitted that information to her on a timely basis. She did an excellent job of letting me know what to expect while also encouraging me during this very difficult time.
She answered my questions/concerns in a timely manner. Even when I'd just send her an update, which required no real response from her, she would still acknowledge it.
Attorney Graham gave me no guarantees on the outcome of my case and she was more than well prepared at the time of the hearing. Thyroid cancer and the aftermaths I was experiencing is overwhelming and difficult for most people to understand. It was clear that she understood where my issue was and how to present that best to the Courts.
She took the time to prepare me via phone on how the appeal would play out and did a "role play" which was helpful in case I neglected to mention something important at the actual appeal. We met prior to going into the appeal on the day of for about 15 minutes once again to make sure I understood what would be happening and to answer any questions or concerns I may have.
During the appeal, Attorney Graham was beyond thorough. We went step by step through the main points/issues of my appeal and by the time the vocational expert was done, I felt very confident in the outcome of the appeal. Again, Attorney Graham still made no promises despite me sharing the good feelings I had.
I initially applied for disability in August, 2017 by myself. In March, 2018 I was denied and that's when Attorney Graham assisted me. My appeal was scheduled for the end of April, 2019, and I received Notice of the Decision in May/June, 2019.
If you are looking for an attorney with experience with SSDI, I cannot recommend Attorney Graham enough. I felt we had an uphill battle. We essentially argued that the side effects of the cancer prevention medication was not only preventing my cancer from spreading, but also causing such extreme fatigue/exhaustion that I couldn't work more than 5-10 hours a week. With Attorney Graham's expertise and hard work, we were able to achieve this.

Bradley proved to be an excellent attorney. He was very pro-active. He did not beat around the bush, he was in constant touch with me. Btadley took the time to answer all my questions as well as return my many calls or emails.

I am very happy that I chose to work with this firm.

Incredibly helpful, he was very professional yet at the same time it felt like you were talking to a friend.

I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Sud Patel for well over ten years. By definition, he qualifies as one of the most true professionals I've ever dealt with in my 21 years in the engineering field and municipal government. An extremely intelligent individual that possesses the personal compassion and rare found intangibles of common sense and negotiating ability. Easily said, there is nobody, and I say this confidently, nobody, that works harder than Sud at his business. He has an uncanny knack of reading people and situations that sets the tone for the unknown. His knowledge of the field of law coupled with his superior intelligence speak for themselves. His down to earth, humble, and respectful demeanor set him well above the bar.......and he "gets it". Without hesitation or reservation, I would recommend his services to anyone.

Mr. Patel's hard work and dedication to the firm he has been with his entire career and is now a partner of is unheard of these days. It truly shows his dedication and commitment to the clients he has represented and the local community that he serves.
I would highly recommend Mr. Patel to anyone for legal representation.

I was involved in a pretty bad car accident and was permanently injured.

I had a trip and fall accident in Philadelphia because of a raised sidewalk out front of a car dealership. I went to the hospital the next day for hip and neck pain and then treated for a short period of time.

He kept me up to date with any offers throughout the litigation process and I am very appreciative.

I came to Lehman Pastino for a car accident. I met this guy, "Michael Lehman," he was wearing shorts and just super casual. He paid attention to me, listened to my concerns and kept me informed every step of the way. I didn't even think I was going to sue when I was first in the accident but after the insurance company offered me a "dinner," for my trouble, Lehman Pastino got me enough money to start my own restaurant. I would highly recommend.

What can I say, I came to Lehman Pastino after being told by a "Philly" lawyer that my case was worth $15,000. They got me $250,000. I paid off my debts, bought a new car and life is just so much easier now. Lehman Pastino and Michael Lehman called me almost every week, texted me, and even helped me buy that car. They went above and beyond and even though I was hurt, I would never go anywhere but to them for all my legal matters. They treated me like family and didn't even know me.

Questions? We have answers
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.
