I’m a previous employee of the law firm, particularly Victor Long’s previous secretary. I sought Victor’s advice about my case, which I didn’t think I had a case. However, he and his assistant Anna, worked diligently to get compensation for my injuries. I really appreciate the hard work, and positive outcome of my case!!

I had the pleasure of working with Dan Singer from Trombly Law Group in Washington, DC, after experiencing a traumatic fall on federal property. From the very beginning, Mr. Singer exhibited the utmost professionalism and dedication. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process, making sure I understood my options and what to expect. His patience and tenacity were evident throughout, and I felt genuinely supported during a difficult time.
Mr. Singer fought hard on my behalf, and thanks to his expertise and persistence, we achieved an excellent outcome. I couldn’t be happier with the decision to work with him. If you’ve been injured and are looking for a lawyer who will truly stand by you, I highly recommend calling Dan Singer first. You won’t regret it!

My settlement check arrived today and I will be eternally grateful to The Law Office of Leah Durant, her associates and staff for the efficient way they handled my case.
I would like to commend them for keeping me informed and making me aware of any new information. Anytime I talked to anyone in their office they were professional, pleasant, helpful, informative and made me feel valued.
As soon as the case was closed and the settlement was made available to them, they immediately sent it to me.
I would highly recommend them as they made everything easy and got results beyond my expectations.

Leah and her staff are amazing at what they do! This is not the sort of injury you would give to a typical injury lawyer. They walked me through the process and kept me informed the entire way, best of all the entire award for my injury was all mine! the government pays the attorney fees directly.
I would highly recommend Leah's firm to anyone who is unfortunate enough to get a vaccine injury! They will make the process easiest part of the injury.

Robinson & Geraldo PC Review
I really enjoyed working with Robinson & Geraldo because they demonstrated that they have always been a firm dedicated to the education of clients in all matters related to divorce and finance.
Alexander Geraldo walked me through every step of the divorce process. I learned the meaning of legal terms, the process of divorce and how to maximize my chances of victory at every stage.

In my forty years in business, I have yet to come across someone as knowledgeable and helpful as Mr. War. From our first phone meeting to when my trademark and patent were issued, he went above and beyond to ensure the process succeeded. I can't think of a single way he could have improved his excellent service. Thank you isn’t enough! Steve, you helped me do what seemed impossible!

I Could not have found a better lawyer for my case, he always answered my questions and got back to me when he said he would, he didn't give me a run around when it came to getting information for my case. I don't usually trust lawyers but i trusted Mr Brynn because of how he handled my case from the beginning.
Ms Laverne was one of the first people i saw and she made my mum and i feel comfortable , as this was a few days after the accident, she asked how i was doing and left a lasting warm impression on my mum and I.
When it came to negotiating the settlement i was impressed with how Mr Brynn handled it , he kept me in the loop and asked my input about what i think , he didn't just dictate to me .He made me feel included in the process. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good lawyer .

I thank William Lightfoot and Jestelle Hanrahan for dedicating their service as support to cases referred. Lightfoot Law does not bypass cases to get to the easier cases and they don’t treat people like numbers. Rather, the leaders at Lightfoot Law understand the value of justice and will work hard to fight for your rights.
Jestelle Hanrahan, William Lightfoot, and a host of attorneys at Lightfoot Law are by far the most genuine, case- driven, supportive, and knowledgeable attorneys that I have ever met, and I will continue to present them with new leads as referral.

I have been a client for maybe 10 years with this firm and I have never been so grateful. They have been kind, helpful and is extremely fair. My law Colby Kuss, worked with me in two separate cases and he was very honest, and straightforward but was very concerned for my wellbeing and made sure I was comfortable with my decision and understood any information in my case. Colby has definitely made an impact in my life and I definitely consider myself as a loyal client. Thank you your dedication!

He has no staff, not even a website, because he is too cheap. Just a hustler looking for a quick buck. He files cases that can't make it to court, because he doesn't even know the law.

Mr. Bilton was my attorney for a PI case. Throughout the process I grew frustrated with his lack of organization and communication. I didn't learn much of his failures until towards the end of the case after he withdrew. He withdrew because I threatened to file a complaint with the BAR. I learned 6 weeks before the trial that Mr. Bilton had not deposed anyone in my case. I learned that he had not requested the proper doctor's notes in order to understand my injuries. I learned that he was not communicating with my doctors when I was contacted by an expert witness, a house counsel and one of my own doctors complaining that Mr. Bilton was simply not responding to their emails or calls. Mr. Bilton also failed to hire appropriate expert witnesses. As part of his agreement he was obligated to hire experts but he tried to tell me that it's normal to use my own doctors as experts which is never done because they can't provide a bias opinion. This essentially was why my case was destroyed. Not only did the stress send me to the hospital but his cruelty and lack of disregard for how his action impact my life has hurt my entire family. If you decide to hire him, I would ask him for his trial record because he loses more than he wins. I would ask him what experts he works with and I would make sure your contract states specifically that he is to hire third party experts and not try to use your doctors.

I was referred to Cory by an attorney that had dropped my case. That attorney had only the highest opinion of Cory and has used him for when he needed representation. From reading his bio to meeting him for the first time, it's clear that he is a real person that has a firm grasp on the struggles of the injured with one hand and a firm grasp on the law with the other hand. I had a case that was very complicated and had been accepted and rejected by numerous attorneys. When he agreed to take me on, it was the eleventh hour of the statute of limitations and he came across as entirely undaunted. He asked questions that none of the other (six or more) attorneys I'd met with had ever brought up, he truly listened to what I had to say, took the time to understand the parts he was less familiar with, and offered the kind of advice and counsel you would expect from him if you were related. Cory clearly wants to help people and hasn't lost sight of that after law school. He was there to answer my questions and be my compass through some rough waters, even when there was nothing in it for him in return. If you want someone that is sharp, responsive, personable, makes you feel like you're their only client, and truly cares about you and your outcomes as a person he should be the only call you make. I only wish he practiced every sort of law so that I could only ever use him for my legal needs.
His staff is also very responsive, organized, and kind. They're organized, using technology to both their advantage and that of their clients. This team works together well. In the past I have experienced attorneys and firms that tell you everything you want to hear in order to get you to sign and then the level of service and competency plummets once you're on board. This firm is one of honesty and integrity, they are good for their word and I trust them wholeheartedly (first time I've ever said that about a lawyer or firm).
Look no further than Bilton Law Firm!

My daughter was hit by a school but driving down the wrong side of the road and they refused to take responsibility and blamed my daughter. I called Mr Hines and he saved my case by writing letters to the school board that I didn't know you had to write. We eventually went to trial and he proved the my daughter did nothing wrong and it was the bus drivers fault. We won the case and our car was fixed and all the medical bills were paid and my daughter got money for pain and suffering. I was so worried the entire time but Brad took care of everything. I was so happy I called him. And also I see some people say he is hard to get a hold of - he is an attorney!! Whenever I called if he wasn't there he called me or emailed me back within a day. I think that's fair. I would recommend!!!

I would advise anyone to refrain from hiring this untrustworthy lawyer. The firm he works for is incompetent and does not remain loyal to its clients. Mr Hines was always difficult to get a hold of and rude when speaking to just as mentioned In some of the other reviews on this site. Mr Hines failed to try to get a reduction in my medical bills and walked say with more money than me and when I pointed this out to him he said that we had talked about the percentage and it was the way the math worked out.

I hired Dusty Gwynn to represent me to get a parenting plan changed. He wrote one letter and made one phone call to my son's lawyer. He dragged just doing that out for at least two months. Then when he talked to my mother's lawyer he claimed up and did the opposite of what I asked and made things worse for me. He basically told me just to do what my son's mother lawyer said, and we'd try again later. I told him I did not want to sign a plan I didn't agree to, as that was how I got in my predicament to begin with. He didn't say much and I didn't hear from him for 6 months until he contacted me and gave me a bill for $700 when the whole time I kept asking him about price and he said not to worry it wouldn't be much. So basically he drug my case out for over 6 months, did the opposite of what I asked him, he put me in a?worse spot than before, and then charged me a big bill for one phone call and one letter. I would highly not recommend this law firm as they seem to screw the client and take their money while helping the other team.

Title says it all. I called this attorney after a proceeding. He said that he was at the office Christmas party and would get back to me. I kept leaving messages for 1 1/2 YEARS. His assistant then told me Schaffer left the practice!!! Where did my many messages end up? My case files, I was later told 5 MONTHS after the 1 1/2 year shocker, went to the Basement.
Here I am over 5 years after that Christmas office party call with an open case. I 've left pleading messages with assistant (who worked w/for over 25 years) to have him contact me. NADA. If a doctor did this?
My case was assigned (? when 2012,2013,2014), to a new law grad who got his DC license in 2013. No one at the firm or Mark Schaffer wil tell me when the case was transfered, or what options I had even though Schaffer got paid ,then disappeared without finishing the job.
This is a truly sad reflection of how a person can walk away after getting paid before a job is completed. To live into the 60's and not care whose lives you destroy. SHAME on you.

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.
