I can't thank Kirk and Tracey enough for helping me and my 87 year old Mom after our unfortunate car accident. I was so concerned and busy with my Mom's care after our wreck that I could not deal with the at-fault insurance company alone. Kirk and his team were on it! He was recommended to is by Ken Rowland. We are grateful for all of Kirk and Tracey's hard work during a very scary and precarious time in our lives. Thank you, thank you. Mom and I highly recommend this team / practice.

Mr. Goode handled my case very well. He got me a settlement for almost three times what the insurance company was offering. In fact, so well that I hired him again for a narcotics case that he got lowered but in the mist of all that, he always called me and keep me calm and grounded throughout those tough times.

Excellent trial lawyer!! Loyal, honest, hard-working, and a bulldog in the courtroom. Travis worked hard on a case for me out of the goodness of his heart. He believes in doing what's right and this situation was a prime example. Let me explain...someone filed a suit against me and my company. My insurance company denied the case, but I remember Travis saying he, "Couldn't let me go in the courtroom alone." There were times I had to tell him it was time to go home. He stopped at no end to see to it that justice was served in the case. I told him the Plaintiff was wrong, and not only did he believe me; he proved it. When we got our day in court, he was on fire. Sharp on the law and efficient with language. Ultimately, the judge directed a verdict of not liable and justice was served. We didn't have to pay any money to the Plaintiff!! The question is not whether you hire him or not, it's how bad could the situation could've been if you hadn't.

We hired Travis Hyman to help us with a car accident that resulted in me having whiplash, a concussion and multiple broken teeth. Travis did all the work for us to get all the medical bills covered and compensation for lost wages and damages. His office was not only effective but also incredibly kind. Travis, himself, did an excellent job of managing our expectations through a very difficult time. I would and have recommended Travis Hyman on multiple occasions! He is smart, thorough and effective. Travis Hyman is truly gifted at interceding on your behalf.

Mr. Loignon is the best criminal law attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. After calling around he had the best prices and even worked with me on a payment plan. The outcome was greater than I could’ve hoped for!! If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a great price, then go to Mr. Loignon.

I was injured two years ago in an accident that in no way was my fault. I was taken to the ER and immediately told I would need surgery. I didn’t have health insurance at the time and was worried about how I was going to pay for all of these unexpected medical expenses. During my hospitalization my husband contacted the Joye Law Firm. One of the best decisions we ever made! From the very start the truck company, driver, and insurance company involved claimed that even though a part of their vehicle had fallen off and hit me, it was not their fault. They denied any wrong doing and did not feel that they should be in any way responsible for me or my medical costs. It was a fight right from the beginning and not something myself, nor my husband, would have been able to handle on our own. We were faced with every hurdle you could possibly imagine: evidence getting thrown away, records and logs not being made available, doctors stating I was fine despite still suffering a broken bone that nobody thought needed to fixed. Seriously, you name it and it was an issue for us. The Joye Law Firm was there with us every single step of the way! They constantly were looking and fighting for what was in my best interest. Without their help my medical bills would have not been covered and I would be in serious financial distress, I would still be in need of a second surgery (in pain everyday as a result), and a host of issues I’d still be facing; in other words, I’d be in a completely different situation then I am in right now. I know for a fact that it was only with the help of Mr. Joye and his law firm that I was able to get the second surgery I needed, my medical bills got covered, and my case was handled in the manner it should have been. This was definitely not something we could have done on our own and are so thankful we choice Joye to represent us.

I thought that I could deal directly with the insurance company regarding my accident that caused injuries. My brother who is in insurance told me to hire a good lawyer to represent me. This occured after being frustrated with the other persons insurance adjuster. I couldn't have found a better one in Mark Joye. He was kind, personable and offered great advice. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. His first concern to get me the medical treatments to help me get better. Which I definitely appreciated.
Patience is a virtue and after 3 1/2 years I finally have recieved an amicable resolution. I truly appreciated and am thankful for Mark Joye and his team Alice and Shaun's efforts. I would definitely recommend Joye law firm to anyone that asks.

I had a very unfortunate accident involving my house and a dump truck. Matt and Nihar from the very start we’re amazing at not only explaining all my options, their opinions, their legal advice and most importantly their genuine concern. Matt worked hard on every aspect of my case and I never felt more taken care of. For years this case drug out but Matt was constantly in contact and working hard to make sure we understood what was happening.
To not drag this way out, I can tell you this, Matt is a person of great integrity, character, and kindness. He’s not only a phenomenal lawyer but also and upstanding person.

This lawyer took on my case 03/2023 and had me sign a contract hiring him and then all of sudden completely ghosted me 10/2023. So I don't know if he settled my case and took the money or what but now I am having to get another lawyer to look into my case, start over, and check to see what this lawyer did. So definitely do not hire this lawyer he is very shady!

The people at Crumley Roberts are highly professional and courteous. Circumstances led to me being a less-than-ideal client, and the team presented options, one being an offer to end representation.

Taylor was more than great to deal with, he took all the hassle out of it, and got me rewarded more than fairly. I truly appreciate what he did. He was honest and straight up with me about what it was, and what it wasn't, and what we could, and could not do. He did what he said he would do, all while keeping me as informed as I needed to be, but never troubled me with anything. I could not have asked for a better performance; I didn't know it was a possibility. I hate that I had to wreck my truck to meet Taylor but I'm sure glad that my friend, Bruce sent me his way. It has been more than a pleasure doing business with Anderson & Schuster.

In October 2020 I injured my shoulder in a car accident. The best decision I ever made was trusting in Taylor Schuster at Anderson & Schuster. From the beginning I knew I was in great hands. Mr. Schuster kept me informed step by step throughout the process and being informed allowed me to focus on my surgery and recovery. When my case was settled, I was more than pleased with the outcome. By choosing Anderson & Schuster I felt like I was a part of the family. I'd never wish a car accident upon anyone, but if the worst happens, I highly recommend you give Taylor Schuster a call.

Not a good representation at all. Multiple conversations on the same topics uncountable times to milk your money. She take notes only not to have them later. To many phone calls a day asking one question then hanging you on the phone to lengthen the conversation then turn around and do the same thing again . Not to mention over charging me for the time.
When I called this tactic to her attention to ask all questions needed. The conversation was not pleasant.
I saw that the financial statement was only to see what the max you could pay. What attorney burns up your entire retainer balance in 3 hours.
I could go on, but enough said.

Mr Mills and his team are the best family court attorneys in town. He fully understands the law and the lawfare used by SCDSS in the family court system and is patient, precise in revealing the truth and shining light on deceit and manipulation that runs rampant within SCDSS. The whole process has made me realize that SCDSS lacks any real oversight other than family court judges and attorneys like Mr mills and his team keeping them in check. If you need an attorney to shine the light on the darkness, do not hesitate, you have found him right here. Thank you Mr. Mills, Justin and Denise!

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.

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.
