Randall possesses an innate ability to alleviate the apprehension that comes with legal consultation. His approach seamlessly combines accessibility with extensive expertise. His meticulous attention to detail and decisiveness not only streamline processes but also yield resolutions that are comprehensive and definitive, minimizing financial expenditures for his clients. Entrusting Randall with my business as well as my personal matters has been the best decision by far as he has since evolved into an invaluable confidant and advisor for my husband and I. Without hesitation, I extend my highest recommendation to the Cohen Law Firm, a bastion of unparalleled proficiency and integrity.

After realizing I would quickly need to find legal representation, I was fortunate to stumble across Stephanie and the entire team at the Law Offices of Ronald Stitch. When I needed something right away, they were able to come through for me, and when I didn't understand certain aspects of the legal process, Stephanie took the time to explain everything and clearly answer any questions I had. Beyond their professionalism, everyone at Ronald Stitch showed a great deal of empathy and kindness towards me, and in the end, they ensured that I had a great outcome. I would highly recommend this law group!

One hopes that divorce, courts, pain... will never become part of his life. Unfortunately, it happened, and when it happened to me, I was completely unprepared for it. At that moment, I needed more than an attorney; I needed someone to help me. After interviewing Ronald Stich's office, I selected them based on my gut feeling—a feeling that I am dealing with honest, experienced team and someone who genuinely has my best interest in their mind. And I was absolutely correct. My divorce process was complicated and took four years due to the COVID-19 closures, overbooked and slow Los Angeles court house, and an extremely difficult ex-partner with the opposing attorney who tried every possible trick to extend the process, pain and cost. Thanks to Ronald Stich's exceptional team and their strategy, I was protected from all tricks, false representations, and manipulations. Ron, Stephanie, Sue, Candance, and Shaina were with me at every moment. They never sugar-coated their message or overpromised, but in the end, they over-delivered. More than that, they truly believed in my case and fought for me like it was their only one. During these long four years, they personally and humanly cared about myself and my well-being, and I can't thank them enough for that. For all those reasons, I highly recommend Ronald Stich's office.

In 2016 I found myself being placed on paid leave by employer for no apparent reason. I knew it wasn't right but didn't know just how wrong it was until I met Mr. Tashnizi. Paul represented me and was able to negotiate a settlement that enabled me to retire. He was knowledgeable, thorough, steadfast and compassionate. If you are being discriminated against, treated unfairly or. Being bullied in the workplace, Paul is your guy.

During our conversation, I had asked Mr. Tashnizi questions regarding his knowledge of contracts (pertaining to a Family Center that assists Special Needs children) - as I was looking for that particular service for a friend. In a myriad of attorneys in our area, Mr. Tashnizi comes across as not only very knowledgeable, but also extremely gracious. His candor and demeanor is beyond pleasant; and I look forward to connecting with him again.

I was referred to Paul Tashnizi. I have never needed an attorney before. I was so pleased with him. He was very caring, understanding, and straight to the point. He covered all avenues that needed to be covered. He stood by me with every question/answer that I had to give to the opposing attorney. Made sure to get all the necessary information needed to fight my case and then some. Will I refer him to someone that needs a great attorney, most definitely. I have referred him a few times already. Every time I hear someone say, I need an attorney, I hand them Paul Tashnizi number. Trust me, whoever hired him would be so pleased with the outcome. I know I was definitely pleased. An amazing attorney.

I recently had the pleasure of working with John Faucher at Faucher Law, P.C., and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the outset, John demonstrated exceptional honesty and a deep understanding of the law. He provided me with the best consultation tailored to my specific case, offering insights that were both valuable and reassuring. His expertise and straightforward approach made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I am grateful for his guidance and highly recommend Faucher Law, P.C. to anyone in need of legal assistance.

John was super helpful when I reached out to him for a few questions. He advised me over the phone with a free consultation regarding sons bankruptcy questions I had. I called because my co-parent is looking to file bankruptcy but he also has ownership in a family cabin my parents and I own. John was able to advise on all our options plus he gave his professional opinion as to what would he best for us. His advice had a major impact on our decision and we will absolutely work with him in the future. I highly recommend him for any bankruptcy and tax related questions. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. 10 out of 10 I recommend!

We contacted Faucher Law for a second opinion after having a bad experience with a tax attorney. I was immediately taken aback by how friendly and pleasant our interactions were over the phone/zoom with John and his secretary. John helped us confidently address complicated tax issues we didn’t know how to manage. We are relieved to have someone so friendly and knowledgeable to call on for advice. If you need help, call their office. He is quick to respond and get you the help you need. Friendly, efficient, professional.

Nordic Star helped my family and I to keep our home. They were very professional and always available. I worked with another law firm just before reaching our to Mr. Van Parys and they were not nearly as attentive or available. After wasting a lot of time and money, we reached out to Nordic Star and we are so happy that we did. They were able to help us reach a settlement with our mortgage company and we are pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Nordic Star to anyone.

My particular situation was an ongoing 3 year battle... Nick is not only a great lawyer but his compassion with his clients and dedication to his work is what sets him aside from the rest... I call him my Miracle Worker because in winning the bank, we were going to need a miracle.. It took 3 years and there was a lot of hard work and tears, no matter the day or time, Nick was available and if not Nick, his wonderful assistant Thuy was always very responsive. I had a lot of bad days and Nick always assured me he was doing everything he could and to trust in him and so I did and in the end it was all worth it.. Not only did Nick save my home by winning the unthinkable (the bank) but thru it all we've built a friendship. I'm not one to write reviews but in this particular circumstance, I felt compelled too, I want everyone to know, Nick is truly worth the review. Consider him, if ever needed...

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.
