I had an excellent experience with them. Not only did I get the most favorable outcome I was hoping for, I felt at ease through the whole process. Everything was explained to me as we went along and all my questions were answered in a timely fashion. He gave me a price for the fee up front and nothing was added to it. I hope I never have to go through this again but if I do, I am coming back to J&J Law Firm.

Obviously when you go into a situation where you need this service in your life, you are going to have unreal stress and doubts, but Marc and Heidi were absolute pros and came through in ways I never could have imagined. My husband was proven innocent and we can continue our lives because of their years of experience and expertise. If you know you are innocent you cannot get a better team to prove it than Perlet and Shiner.
P.s. Janine is the unsung hero of this crew! She keeps the gears moving and you should always communicate through her if you can!

Phil has a no-nonsense personality, that is why I love him. He does not play when it comes to his job. He turned my bad luck into good luck. He and his team swiftly handled my case against a dealership with ease. Their dedication and expertise ensured a successful outcome, holding the dealership accountable for their poor business practices. I am very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend!

Mr. Valente and his staff are amazing! They fought a large insurance company, after my claim was basically denied, and because of their efforts and knowledge, I was able to receive the maximum settlement to which I was entitled. It was a pleasure working with him and his staff, and I would give him 10 stars, if I could! I will recommend this firm to everyone!!

I have had dealings with attorneys in the past, professionally, as well as personally. The attorneys at Lesser Lesser Landy and Smith Law Firm totally made me realize, like everything else, that one should judge on an individual basis, not a blanket assumption. They were responsive to my concerns with clarity, thoroughness, as well as empathy. I felt as if Mr. Landy was my friend, as everyone that I encountered at the firm were friendly.
I strongly recommend Lesser Lesser Landy and Smith to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I can't say enough about Joe Landy and his staff. I was in a car accident and was hit from behind. Thanks to Joe, I won my case. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was reachable whether it was during the week or weekends and gave excellent advise. He explained what was to be expected and was there every step of the way. He even met me at a doctor's appointment. I unfortunately had to use Joe's services on two occasions. He is someone you can rely on.

If you are seeking for a law attorney to get a professional help and successful case conclusion in a short time I would strongly recommend to reach for Scott Murray attorney.
I want to share my story. My husband was in bad car accident with following neck surgery September 2018. We were scared and miserable and didn't know what to do , like many other people in this situation. Our friend recommended to contact Scott Murray.
Scott Murray is very professional and knowledgeable attorney with very friendly attitude. We never felt a sign of pressure for any decision to make, he worked only for our best interest.
Scott Murray and his team are working like precise mehanizm: bills are paid in time, no one letter left without an answer, wisely worked with insurance companies, constantly updated us with case progress.
Thanks to Scott Murray our case settled in shortest time with fair compensation.
I don't want anything bad happened to anybody, but if it does, I would strongly recommend immediately call to Scott Murray to get a professional help

Scott and his team were excellent to work with. I was involved in a head on collision at a very busy intersection by a woman going 45-50 mph. She failed to stop at the red light and ran right through this intersection on a sunny dry morning at 9:30 am. As a pre-existing condition (potential) client I was unsure how my health condition would result in a positive settlement outcome. In speaking with a colleague, I was referred to Scott and went in for a consult. Scott felt that pending new imaging and comparing it to my most recent (less than 1 year old) imaging that I potentially had a case as an "eggshell" plaintiff. Long story short and multiple therapies later (2+) years I was able to avoid multiple adverse life altering surgeries at the present time-pending further neurological damage. Throughout this entire process, Scott and MG worked diligently on my behalf. Their patience and professionalism was steadfast and there was never any pressure on myself-only my best health and physical interests were at the forefront. I am happy to say that my case has been settled and the financial outcome, based on their hard work and expertise was most positive. I think that Scott and his colleagues are a rare breed in the PI sector of the law. Once you meet with him, you will immediately understand why not only his moral character is evident but his knowledge in this field of law is comprehensive and exceptional.

When I had a slip and fall accident in a pharmacy and sustained injuries, and I was fortunate to have Keith Hedrick, Esq., handle my claim. From the very start, Keith was great to work with—he took the time to explain the entire process, answered all my questions, and made sure I was prepared for every step along the way. After a lawsuit was filed, Keith worked diligently and achieved a very favorable settlement for our family. My husband and I are incredibly grateful that we found Keith and for the excellent representation he provided. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney who truly cares about his clients.

I was referred to Keith by a friend after getting rear ended on Okeechobee Rd. The situation was a little nerve wracking because I had my daughter and her friend in the car along with our new puppy. We were approaching a stop light slowly and a girl nailed us probably going about 50 mph. Luckily, I have a Suburban so we were totally fine. Keith was fantastic in helping me navigate this process as I didn't have a car for over a month. He was able to handle every single thing for me, and I didn't have to lift a finger. He was able to direct me to someone to check out my neck which was only minority injured and made sure that everything was taken care of. I have never hired a lawyer for something like this before, and he was able to walk me through the whole process. It was very beneficial because I feel like I was absolutely looked after. He would follow up with me to let me know how things had progressed in a timely manner and I never had to worry about any of it.

Prepare yourself for an exceptional representation experience when you become a client of Joshua Winegar, quite simply you are working with the best.
I had a highly complex case against a very able adversary. Mr. Winegar and his firm represented me in the most exemplary fashion. The case was handled quickly, professionally, with great decency and immense legal talent. Joshua has always conducted himself with reasonable and pragmatic professionalism and an uncanny ability to get favorable results.
I will return to Joshua Winegar for any legal needs I may have in the future. If you want to win your case I cannot recommend any one else.

Im 17 and was caught speeding. Mr. Llerena made it so easy to go through the entire legal process. He was always available when I had questions, and when I first spoke with him he gave me a long, detailed, and much appreciated lesson on the dangers of speeding given my age. Thanks to his assistance, my case was dismissed. I would gladly hire him again and I always recommend him to people with similar issues. He is by far the best attorney that my family has ever dealt with. Thank you!

Attorney Tim Felice and his team, Felice Trial Attorneys in West Palm Beach, Florida is a top-rated law firm. Following a car crash which left me with life long injuries, we were referred to Tim Felice. Felice and his small, but mighty team have worked tirelessly on my behalf.

Brooks has handled numerous cases for me over the years. There is one that is still going after 3.5 years. This is a complicated commercial litigation case against a multi-billion dollar hedge fund. Brooks has been always one step ahead of the LARGE LAW firm for the hedge fund.

I hired Brooks Ricca after interviewing several other firms and am I glad I did. He is a straight talking, hard working, intelligent attorney who is also truly concerned about his clients. Due to the real estate collapse of 2008 I was facing a very complex and insurmountable legal battle. Brooks tirelessly explored every possible resolution strategy, put up many very good defenses and ultimately personally oversaw the proceedings by another firm in Federal Court. He stayed with the case and with me until the very end, he even sat in on a mediation to resolve legal fees with another firm that was also representing me at that time. He is very easy to communicate with, he listens to and considers his clients suggestions, explains the complexities of the system and the probable outcomes of proceedings. He is everything you would want in an attorney. Brooks was very actively involved in what ultimately was the legal battle of my life, saving me and all that I had worked for my whole life. I simply can't say enough...

I’m an attorney, too, so when I say Hampton Keen is my go to for any personal injury case, whether my own or for a friend, I mean it.

I am a former claims adjuster, have worked with many attorneys and have found that social skills are as important as legal skills when's settling a case; Bill is adept at both. After accepting the bike accident claim, we developed a strategy that he and his team implemented with stunning effect. They worked with the medical providers to satisfy their needs. They also worked with multiple insurance parties to help them toward a resolution without litigation. Ultimately, all our needs were met with Bill and his team doing all the work. I am more than satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend Bill and his team.

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.

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.
