Robert Brown and his staff were excellent in helping me and my family during a difficult time. He always returned our calls and was very professional and patient with us. He was very fair and stuck it out with end from the beginning until the end. I would highly recommend not using any other lawyer besides him,

Dear Google, I would like to begin by providing website feedback. How do I give Robert E. Brown a 30+ star rating? If you’re reading this review in hopes of finding the perfect lawyer, look no further. Robert E. Brown will forever be known as the G.O.A.T aka Greatest Of All Time in my book. I am not the type to look for trouble but trouble seems to somehow find me. I live in a multifamily complex and unfortunately was accused of copyright infringement. My internet services are shared throughout the building however, I’m the ISP account owner. I feared if my case was brought to court and my info was made publicly, my professional and personal reputation would be tarnished. I did extensive research on law firms that specialize in these types of cases but a mutual friend referred me to Robert knowing he produces phenomenal results. Without hesitation, I hired him immediately. (By the way, investing in Robert didn’t break the bank at all. For the quality he delivers was worth every single dollar.) After weeks of sleepless nights, anxiety and mentally draining days; Robert was able to prove my innocence, kept me out of court and, more importantly I remained anonymous. It’s been a few days since my case concluded but I’m still on cloud nine. Thank you, Robert E. Brown, from the bottom of my heart. I can attest and validate the previous 5-star reviews when I say Robert E. Brown is the utmost professional, transparent and down-to-earth person you’ll ever meet. You will rest easy knowing you have the G.O.A.T in your corner because all he does is win. A famous artist named DJ Khaled once produced a song called “All I do is win”. That song has now been assigned to Robert’s number in my phone book. Keep up the extraordinary work!

It was very easy. I told Mr. Barillari about my car accident. He handled it from there on. I was very pleased with my settlement. I would give a five star rating to him.

I’m so glad that I found Bill and Gira! Hands down, they are both well experienced, extremely responsive, and went above and beyond to help me. They anticipated what would happen throughout the case and provided me with details instructions with what I need to do, which was very little as they did all heavy liftings. They got me the settlement amount we discussed and the medical coverage I needed. They have all the tricks to deal with the insurance company and used them for my benefits. I’m truly grateful for their help! I would absolutely recommend them to others.

I reached out to Mr. Frank Dito to help me with my Workers Compensation Case, and revive my case and correct the many errors of my previous Attorney. After sitting with him, he assured me that he would keep me well informed of my case and what to expect. Although the NYS Workers Comp is A Systematical mess, he assured me that it would all be addressed accordingly, in which it was. Whenever I received a mailing or Notification in regards to my case, I contacted my Attorney's office and they responded, explained, answered all questions IMMEDIATELY. My experience with Mr. Frank Dito and his staff was an absolute relief and a pleasure knowing my case was FINALLY going in the right direction. It was handled, WITH CARE AND PROFESSIONALISM, in which my previous Attorney LACKED. To receive a high recommendation from me, is not easy. But, Mr Dito's Law firm Deserves a HIGH RECOMMENDATION...PERIOD! If you would like a law Firm to address all your concerns, represent you accordingly, handle ALL paper work, respect your case and Injury, then you must contact Mr. Frank Dito. I assure you that him and his staff will handle your case with CARE and PROFESSIONALISM.

I've now had the opportunity to seek Mr. Cirincione's legal services on two occasions, with starting a new business. On the first occasion, I sought his legal advice to protect certain aspects of what I created for my business. When I found a place to open my business, Russell helped me negotiate and understand my lease agreement. Mr. Cirincione was extremely helpful. He was very easy to reach if i ever had a question. He broke things down so that I could easily understand what was going on, and what I needed to do. I would highly recommend Russell Cirincione.

Terrible. Worst most unprofessional lawyers I have ever dealt with. Marvin hasn’t submitted my paperwork the court requested 6 months ago and will not answer any calls or texts. When I call the office they tell me he isn’t in or in a meeting on a call etc and he never returns messages. I will be reporting them to the bar association. If you ask me they robbed my money!

This guy has zero integrity. Based off of strictly intimidating tactics. He will only find justice for the corporations and institutions that have a monetary benefit to him. This man is not a fighter of the people. He is a modern day mobster. His defense mechanism is predominantly based on continuance after continuance. There’s no true “fight for the people” in that. So much so that he’ll uncover loop holes to leave defendants without any public representation, what kind of a judge does things like that? Strictly abuse of practice. He plays the case and wastes court time using it as a tool. No protection of individual liberties. He just delays the process of justice. Completely abuses power to undermine valid discoveries. So why are we letting this man be up on a stand?

They don’t put any time into ur case ur told to do all the leg work they don’t fight to get your doc s to file nor do they tell you when ur case is in jeopardy. They were reprimanded by the judge for not having paperwork and they were told to get it and as soon as we left the court they told me I needed to go get the papers from doctors. I could have don’t it all myself. Total waste avoid them.

I used the services of the Law Office of Jonathan H. Poznansky. I mainly dealt with Christopher Moterosso and Peter G. Malloy. Peter and Chris were extremely pleasant to deal with and their level of professionalism is that beyond words! Christopher Moterosso represented me in a Worker's Compensation case. I was not expecting anything; I was just hoping to get the case over with. To my surprise, not only was the case over with, but he managed to get me a decent amount. The exceptional thing about these attorneys (and the Law office of Jonathan Poznansky) is that from the moment you walk in, they demonstrate that they care. Christopher Moterosso and Peter G. Malloy demonstrated excellency! I HIGHLY recommend these attorneys.

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.
