PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW IN DETAIL: Getting a DUI is stressful. The night of the incident I knew I needed a lawyer. I was so devastated I asked my sister to do some online research and tell me where to go. This was my 2nd time and I thought my life was over. She found Michael and said this guy has 5 stars-go see him. I met with Michael and given my previous experience with attorneys he was one of the most laid back and coolest people I have ever met. His relaxed nature made me uneasy at 1st, but later I would find that I needed this to keep me calm. Michael recommended a series of tasks to complete as a back-up plan, just in case the non-guilty plea went out the window. He made sure I was able to drive until my case was heard.
The week before the trail I met with him and we reviewed the discovery information together including the tape. He gave me a topical overview of the plan but assured me he was ready to fight. The trial date finally arrived, and my stomach was in knots. His cool demeanor instantly made me feel better. The prosecutor wanted to give me a year of jail time after hearing wind of my prior. Michael smiled and said don’t worry. He was very realistic with me and said that there was a small chance that I could serve that sentence. Michael never lied during this entire experience. Somehow, he still felt hopeful.
He had several strategies for multiple scenarios and as the prosecutor maneuvered through the case, Michael was right there with her. The judge overruled him quite a bit, but this didn’t shake Michael at all. With his knowledge of the DUI laws and simply being born here, his technical arguments impressed the judge. At one point, I even saw the prosecutors look of amazement as she did not expect him to be so skilled in the case.
He was able to get the breathalyzer thrown out, from there it was a piece of cake. I walked away from a year sentence to having a ticket for 1 light out over my license plate.
If you are reading this review, trust me look know further for a DUI attorney. Michael will fight hard for your case no matter how the outcome may appear!

Mr. Michael is the true expert and the man of the men for practicing the law in DC area. I got into trouble for some case which I had nothing to do with and government put multiple charges on me without telling me details when they arrested me. Mr. Michael was there to help me and not only as professional lawyer, I felt that he had compassion toward me for what I got into and eager to fight the way out of this which made my whole case dismissed. I am so thankful to him and owe my life on him for this. Thank you so much for lending me the hand!

I contacted Mr Hoffman on behalf of company over a contractual dispute. The opposing party had developed a majority of their financial basis for indemnification on matters not relevant to actual contract law. Additionally, the opposing attorney had made numerous errors in their filing. What I’ve highlighted is just a small portion of what Mr Hoffman was able to point out quickly and change the direction of this discussion toward a mediation and a “reasonable” level to negotiate. I felt Mr Hoffman did what was in my companies best interest to make matters practical and not emotional. As a small business owner trying to get by, the last thing I want is to deal with nuisances of a frivolous lawsuit… having Mr Hoffman on my side certainly brought clarity and confidence how we could handle this matter without creating an unnecessary and complex trial out of this.
Another item to highlight is that Mr Hoffman was quick to return calls/emails. When I originally reached out, he answered his phone. Can’t say that about any of the other attorneys I inquired with and I reached to a handful.

Called him late one evening to inquire about how to obtain my business license. He didn't get annoyed that it was after working hours. Instead, he promised to look it up first thing the next morning and get back to me which he did. He provided me with all the information I needed to get my business license. 5 stars is all this website offers but he gets 20 stars from me.
Thank you again Joel.

I had a very good experience working with Cecere Law. They were patient and explained everything along the way which was important to me and they were able to get me a much larger settlement than I expected. They treated my case with respect and dignity and they were available whenever I needed them. It was a white glove type of experience and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a PI attorney.

Jacob Cecere, is one of the outstanding attorneys I have come across in my life. Got into an accident and before I got hold of Jacob, I met a couple who said they could not take my case and referred me to him. He actually proved to me he was exceptional. He took my case and it was done with, in a timely fashion. I definitely recommend him to anybody who needs an accident attorney.

Jake and his team have been a godsend in a terrible and terrifying time in my life. I was referred to him by my friend's mom and he truly handled my case with ease and got me the best outcome in a scary situation than I could have asked for. He not only made the process easy but offered sound advice that went above and beyond what is required for a lawyer. He really wants the best for his clients. I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

From day one, Mr. Inman and his staff have been very professional and did their due diligence in getting my TTD payments and allowing me to continue to get medical treatments. He returned my calls as well. I’m glad I contacted him to represent me in my workers compensation case and I would refer him to others.

After thirty five years with the company, only missing time out due to two pregnancies, I got hurt at work. One would think after all these years with the company one would know what to do. To my surprise, people were saying you can't file a workers’ comp claim, the company will fire you or make your life miserable.
I called many different law firms and they would not take my case. It was looking very gloomy until someone recommended Will Inman to me. He is very knowledgeable, straight forward, patient and very clear with every step of the way. All one has to do is follow his instructions. He gives you top priority which makes you feel like you are his only client. His office is very busy and the staff is very competent. Will is a professional who makes you feel at ease. He is one person who will call you back by the end of day. He understands what the client is going through. Everything is done in a timely manner.
Will is highly regarded by his peers and the judges. He works long hours especially over the weekend and you can reach him anytime. He is one of the most gifted men I have ever met. He is down to earth and very personable.
I would recommend him to anyone who needs help. He has achieved all the things I needed for my pain management and the lost time from work paid. I'm very grateful for everything he has done for me. I cannot say enough for this man, he has saved my life.

Will Inman knows his business and goes about it with clarity and timeliness. You're in good hands if you have the ability to listen with an open mind and follow directions. With his "know-how" and both of you working with his competent office staff, you'll quickly recognize that you're going to get the best results possible. He acts swiftly when necessary and knows when to ride out the process. This professional behavior is the result of a man who understands how to deal with the minutia of law.
As someone who is struggling, this is very important because I feel anxious about how long everything takes and whether or not I'll be able to provide for my future because my original plans no longer matter since having a life-changing accident. Will gets the "big picture" and what more could put you at ease than knowing you've found an attorney who will actively defend your legal woes for the best possible outcome. I keep reminding myself that it's difficult to see a big picture when you stand too close to it. It's necessary to stand back to observe all the techniques the artist used to create an image you can understand as a whole.
To anyone who is looking for a good attorney with years of experience, I recommend that you take a step back and review Will Inman's profile to see if he can help you with your legal concerns.

Mr. Goldberg helped me to receive the maximum settlement possible for an auto accident that left me injured.
I was very fortunate to have found Jonathan Goldberg after having had a negative experience with a “highly advertised” attorney in the DC area. From the initial consultation until the final appointment to pick up my settlement check, I was never farmed out to an associate or paralegal. In every instance, he represented me and conducted himself with uncommon integrity and legal acumen. His skills were never more apparent than when I had the opportunity to watch him engage the defendants' counsel. He did so with the skills of an expert trial attorney and seasoned diplomat.
I would not hesitate to ask Jonathan Goldberg to represent me again should the need arise.

This was my first time hiring an attorney and wasn't even sure if I needed one after a bad car accident. Jonathan walked me through the whole process, dealt with the stressful and annoying insurance companies/hospital bills, and even checked in to see how I was progressing and healing. I highly recommend him for personal injury cases. H reassured me through the stressful process and was able to secure a much higher than anticipated settlement. Do not go through the process alone, Jonathan was a very helpful and welcome asset!

I am extremely grateful to Jonathan Goldberg for his handling of our case. My family and I were involved in a serious accident in which several members of my family were injured. I could not be happier with how the case was handled and the outcome. Jonathan devoted so much time and personal attention, worked extremely hard, was available to answer questions, and kept us informed of the status throughout. I would highly recommend Jonathan Goldberg to anyone needing a lawyer.

They were very prompt, responding to my emails and phone calls. I also consider them to be highly ethical and trustworthy. Thank you very much for all your help!

I want to convey another positive experience with RLG. I don't know how she does it, but when Stacey answers the phone, she makes me laugh and puts me at ease. Even in what most feel are stressful circumstances, she is able to make me laugh and bring humor to my day.
I wanted to highlight the excellent service and professionalism I have received from your staff - Marc Jeray.
I have been in litigation on and off with my ex-husband for 10 years and I have witnessed my fair share of law firm "office" management gone awry.

I sought Fred's legal representation after being injured in an automobile accident last year. This is the first such experience I've had with personal injury representation, and, frankly, I wasn't sure what to expect. Fred came highly recommended and I am glad to say that, in the 18 months I've had the pleasure to work with Fred and his legal office, Fred has shown himself to be honest, intelligent, hardworking and caring. To some that may sound like too high praise. I suppose this may be true for some and that is why I feel very fortunate to have met Fred and entrust my legal matter into his capable hands.

I was referred to Mr. Fred Balkin after being involved in an accident that resulted in injuries requiring years of medical attention, including numerous surgeries and extensive rehabilitation. Fred built an entire team to handle this case. Fred and his team were honest and open with me regarding the case, which also lasted for years due to the extent of the injuries. A positive settlement was reached. I could not have survived the legal battles without this team, spearheaded by Fred. Fred and his team are honest, realistic, responsive, and keep their clients informed of every aspect of the case and potential outcomes. They help clients make informed decisions and seem to honestly care for their clients. I am grateful for the tremendous amount of work and hours that Fred and his team put into ensuring a positive outcome to this case.
I have referred others to Fred and the firm. Further, if I ever have a question about other legal matters, Fred offers advice or refers me to a member of the firm who can handle the question.

I could not be more pleased with the services provided by Michael Morgenstern! The positive outcome of my case was due solely to his diligence and expertise. Michael was clear in explaining at the outset the difficulties of my case. I was kept informed of progress on a regular basis, often receiving answers to questions before I even asked them. Michael was both extremely professional and appropriately supportive and friendly. He seemed genuinely interested in my recovery from injuries. I highly recommend Michael Morgenstern to anyone in need of a talented and caring attorney.

A few years ago, I was the victim of a hit and run accident in Silver Spring, MD. The driver fled the scene after hitting my left leg, under the influence of opiates prescribed for his mental illness. I was left terrified and alone with an ACL tear. Luckily, I was able to memorize the driver’s license plate.
Upon consultation with Mr. Morgenstern, all was well and I was told everything was rather clear cut and could be easily handled. When I met without Mr. Morgenstern in person as an African-American woman, I was suddenly met with apathy.
Mr. Morgenstern stepped away from litigation of my case and gave the job to one of his partners. The man was so rude and condescending I honestly forgot his name. He looked at me with disgust during my deposition, looked at me with astonishment when I told him I was a college student on an honors scholarship, and repeatedly told me to fix my posture and general appearance during court.
Without my knowledge, Morgenstern and his partner worked directly with the defendant’s lawyers to come up with a mutual process to effectively dismiss the case. I watched before my trial as Morgenstern paid more attention and care to the lawyer he was supposed to be defending me against. It was demoralizing and wholly unacceptable.
During deposition the driver who hit me stated on record that he had even been in a vehicular incident similar, killing a deer. He also stated how the medicine for his bipolar disorder was recently changed. The facts lined up so clear cut in this case a circus clown who failed the BAR could have won it. There were obviously much more sinister hands at play.
At the end of my case, I walked away with nothing, the driver (who was guilty of a hit and run) walked away without fault, and his insurance did not cover all of my medical bills. Mr. Morgenstern’s partner told me with a smile that I would not be able to purchase a home well into my 30s because of it.
Five years later, at the age of 26, I bought a home with excellent credit and am happily married to a lawyer who’s family has been delegates and politicians in this state for generations.
This experience taught me that some lawyers only care about themselves and do absolutely NOTHING to service their communities. This experience also taught me to stick to diverse litigation in all of my legal matters. If your lawyer does not understand or empathize with you as a person, they will NOT work their hardest to win your case.
If you are a minority, I urge you to not waste your time or precious energy by being devalued by this law firm.

March 2014, I was hit by a D.C. Circulator bus walking
in the cross walk with ample seconds to cross. Hit on
my left side, I suffered multiple fractures of my left
wrist and extensive bruising on my left side as well.
A visitor to D.C., I returned to Chicago and one week later,
Dr. Daniel Mass at the University of Chicago operated on my wrist.
When the intense pain from the surgery dissipated, I went online to look for top personal injury lawyers in the D.C. area. Voted by Washingtonian Magazine as one of the best personal Injury attorneys in the city, I knew I had made the right choice after our first conversation. KInd and patient, he listened and responded in detail assuring me that my injuries were serious and deserving of compensation.
Michael was thorough, extremely polite and genuinely
concerned. Never too busy to answer my many questions, Michael was meticulous and accommodating.
I cannot praise him enough. Not only was I compensated
for my injuries, but I was treated with the utmost
respect. I highly recommend Michael Morgenstern to
anyone with a serious injury.

Almost three years of giving me the run around regarding my case, Thomas contacted me the last week before the statue of limitations expired, and informed me that he couldn’t proceed with my case. I have sent him numerous emails and left him hundreds of voice mails but he never contacted me whatsoever. He only responded after I emailed him and informed him I was filing a complaint with the bar association (I have the paper work to prove my attempts to teach him and get an answer regarding my case).
Trust me, take your business elsewhere.

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.
