William Mattar accepted my difficult case after
other law firms refused it, due to me being an
"eggshell client." From start to finish, Megan
always provided value added service by
responding to my questions and/or concerns
expeditiously; by the close of business or within 24 hours.
As I conclude, I would like to thank William Matter, Megan, and their team of consummate, dedicated and engaged professionals. You all are truly AWESOME.
Remember, It is not the final settlement that
matters, as it is the amount of professionalism that is priceless!
Don't hesitate, call 444-4444. You will not regret it!

I was involved in an auto accident and the driver of the other car had run a stop sign. He then T-Boned us, my son and had been taken to a local hospital and my wife was fine.
When reading the police report we seen that the driver that hit us also had the same insurance company as us. I then became worried that the insurance company would not be fair and cover my medical expenses and repairs needed on my car. After speaking with some family members they recommended hiring a attorney. I then called William Mattar. I met with one of the attorneys and decided it would be best if retained their service’s. I was not happy about this because I deal with attorneys at work all the time. Most attorneys will never call you back, keep you up to date with the case. The only time they call is when they want more money. NOT William Mattar my attorney Casey was Great she called with updates questions and more. Her assistant Kathy was even better she call me weekly in the beginning then COVID hit and my doctors slowed down the process but Kathy kept calling me with updates and not long after we had a settlement offer and after some negotiations we settled. THIS FIRM WAS GREAT! I hope I never need a lawyer again bu.t if I do I will call William Mattar.

I was referred to Jeff by a family member who is familiar with him and has been for at least two decades. The issue at hand is still in process, and as such I will leave out details except to say that Jeff made himself available immediately and completely, listens very well, asks questions that help round out and complete the scenario in question from all sides, lays out what the likely course of events will be while still being upfront about the fact that there are no guarantees, as well as what is expected if the result is or is not what you hoped for. To date, his communication has been prompt, professional, and very clear as to what he needs from me and what the next step is likely to be. He makes himself available for questions and shows utmost respect for the mental and emotional stress that brings one to an attorney in the first place, especially when you are not the type to have ever considered doing it before! Such an approach also shows complete respect for the time and individual struggles and issues of the client. Jeff has been nothing but professional and expedient, and no matter the outcome of the case I would not hesitate to contact him again.

Jeff handled my disability claim with the Dept of Veterans Affairs with professionalism. Jeff kept me up to date with changes and even called when nothing new was happening to check on me. I never worried about anything when he was handling my claim. Now on something new and I'm not worried at all.

What bankruptcy attorney doesn't include a broken tenancy lease in a chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Unless I'm "mistaken."
Perhaps all the money I paid them, (why is there a RED FLAG on the bankruptcy court documents. INDICATING THAT I QUALIFIED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AS A POOR PERSON,) should be returned?
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I COULD'VE RECEIVED A PRO BONO COURT APPOINTED LAWYER, AS I AM AND WAS A SERVICE CONNECTED DISABLED VETERAN DISPLACED FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA 2004 HURRICANE SEASON...ALONG WITH BEING INDIGENT!
HOW DOES THAT APPEAR?
I WONDER, DOES THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE POLICE AND THEIR INSPECTORS' NOTICE WHEN MR. GRUBEA TRIES TO SOLICIT POTENTIAL CLIENTS VIA USPS?
WITHOUT INDICATING ON THE ARTICLE OF MAIL THAT'S AN..."ADVERTISEMENT?"
I SUPPOSE WHEN THE LETTERS IFP AND THE WORDS RED FLAGS ON THE TOP OF THE DOCUMENT YOUR PRACTICE'S LAWYERS FILED ARE CLEARLY EVIDENT... WHO'S LYING TO WHO?

Ok as I read these other reviews i can only assume these people must have been horrible souls. Susan kept my behind from going upstate. Was in constant contact with me and my family. I messed up in probation on a colassel level, Susan kept me out of jail until I absolutely had to go and even then I did a couple months county when I should have been going up north for 2+. She not going to baby you but let me tell you she know some people that know some people and in this town you got to know somebody. 5 out of 4 stars. Susan literally helped keep my family together when I hired her. These other reviews seem bitter and false at best.

Susan was hired to handle a criminal matter. During this time she neglected to confer with the client aside from in the courtroom on court dates. How could a proper defense be prepared with no conferences and without ever discussing with the defendant his side of the story? Well needless to say, the defendant got the shaft and would've been better off with a public defender. After the completion of the criminal case and after the defendants jail time was served, a modification of a protective order relating to this case was needed. Susan, by procedural standards, would be the one to file for the modification. She accepted one phone call from the client in which he requested the modification, after that she never returned calls or texts and obviously never filed the request for modification. Do NOT waste your time with Susan. If you use her, she will surely waste your time and money. She is unresponsive to say the least and seems pretty unknowledgeable when she speaks, which has been evidenced when she actually "practices". Susan makes me believe I myself could go to law school and be an attorney if people like her are allowed to practice.

For Susan to have worked with my family for a few years now, I could only assume that she was a good attorney to use for my case. After setting things up with her and being told that she would represent me and keep me informed, I found out 2 months later that she hadn't even looked at the paperwork past our first session. I have called and left msgs, and received no response or I got the run around. This women has no concern for you as a person and considering all that may be on her plate a simple 'i can't represent you' would have been just fine and saved me a lot of stress and anxiety. Looking back on the outcome of the cases she has worked on for my family I now question if she was the right person or did we all just get screwed.

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.
