I am extremely pleased with the services that the Tom Nagel firm has offered me. Tom consistently communicated with me throughout the course of this case. (Post Covid, it was drawn out for much longer than it should have). I’m appreciative of the favourable outcome. Thank you, Tom.

I can't thank Nola and her team enough for all their help after my accident! They were incredibly supportive and made a tough situation so much easier. They listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, and walked me through everything step by step. Their hard work and dedication really made a difference, and I felt taken care of the whole way. If you need legal help after an accident, I highly recommend Werner Law!

My experience with the Werner Law Office has been the best. I was so impressed with the overall experience. Michael Werner himself went over and beyond to make sure that both my husband and I were satisfied. He really knows LAW and he handled our case with determination and respect. I could not have hoped for a better outcome. I would definitely refer my family and friends to him because I know they would not be disappointed.

I researched, searched, and prayed for an excellent lawyer, and God sent me Moses. I am so thankful that he did. Moses is an excellent lawyer who worked tirelessly for our case. He is caring, intelligent, professional, and honest. Moses handled our case with great care and excellence. He is the best. I highly, highly recommend The Moses Firm.

There aren’t enough words to express how much I appreciate Moses Kim!
I started my case with another lawyer and due to unforeseen circumstances, my case was passed along to Moses. I am extremely thankful for that turn of events.
As Moses got to know me and my case more intimately, he realized the need to have the case removed from the county of the defending lawyers to create a more even playing field.
Moses is a very caring person seeking only justice and what is rightly due to patients that have fallen victim to true malpractice. It took several years to collect information, secure credible expert physicians from several other states, and prepare a solid case that would stand strong in any courtroom. He kept me informed through each step of the process and asked if I was willing to wait for each portion.
He was patient with me, keeping my best interest at heart… best interest of what was due to me and best interest of what I could mentally and physically withstand over the course of the years. He was honest and never lead me to feel like a “paycheck”, I was an individual who became permanently disabled due to malpractice and he sought restitution for loss of my eyesight.
I cannot thank Moses enough and would recommend his services to anyone who is patient and willing to follow his lead. It is worth it in the end to expose medical wrong doing in hopes it would spare someone else experiencing the same tragedy in the future!

I called about a traffic citation and I was willing to pay someone to go to court and help me fight my speeding ticket but he gave me some steps to take without an attorney. I was impressed by how honest he was. I could tell that he was not interested in selling me on legal services that I really did not need.

MR. Douglas Rohan is an amazing attorney. I was charged with two serious felonies. If convicted I would of faced two years jail time and possible deportation. MR. Rohan was successful in dismissing one felony and reducing other felony to a misdemeanor. Consequently I received no jail time and no deportation. I highly recommend MR. Rohan and his law firm.

My teenaged son, while intelligent in many aspects of life, made a very bad decision and was arrested along with a couple of friends for drug possession (felony) & alcohol (minor in possession). Doug represented me in another case & delivered very favorable results so I was confident when I approached him with my son’s case.
Doug took my son and another boy’s case and represented them as co-defendents. Doug worked with a State Prosecutor in/out of court for a weeks, and in the end their cases were dismissed. The boys were required to attend drug and alcohol classes & complete community service hours. Needless to say, my wife, son & I were more than pleased with the outcome!
Doug held our hand and explained to us in detail what to expect in every step of the legal process. In the courtroom he’s a calm and collective & is well respected by his peers. Watching him interact/work in the courtroom ensured us we made the right decision to his firm to represent our then high school aged son.

Doug Powell and his team at Hinton & Powell Law Firm offered the professionalism and support I hoped to find when seeking legal assistance after a traffic accident. He worked diligently on my years-long case, always keeping me informed of the next step in the process. He took the time to meet with me and advise me on my options. He offered a listening ear as I detailed the physical challenges I faced after the accident. I would recommend Mr. Powell and his team if you are looking for a “bulldog” who is willing to fight for you.

Doug came highly, HIGHLY recommended by a friend, characterizing him as a bulldog and will never surrender his client's due...under any circumstances, and I had engaged Doug, after having had an egregious experience with another firm. From our first meeting, Doug has ensured that I was well-healed on the dynamics and macinations that would ensure, throughout my case.
Each time that Doug and I have met to discuss my case and strategic considerations, there has never, ever been so much as a hint of we all tend to project onto his industry, mostly distrust and self-centered objectives. He is unbelievably responsive, no matter what time of day that I send emails. (When the Hades does he ever sleep?!!!)
If anyone needs an attorney who is like a bulldog, Doug isn't your man, but, if you need an attorney who can slit a throat, without bleeding being detected, Doug gets the job done in a way that makes you feel good about having to do the things warranted, whenever doing legal battle has become unavoidable.

From the moment we first met Bill Atkins, we felt relief, and that things would soon be resolved. He not only demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the law, but he was passionate, and determined to get us the best possible outcome. Our family is truly grateful to him for his tireless work to get us a positive resolution to our case. Legal matters can be stressful, so hiring an attorney that cares and has the legal expertise you need cannot be emphasized enough.

Mary Lewis is an exceptional attorney. She’s confident, honest, caring, thorough and knows what is necessary to win cases. Upon taking my case, Attorney Mary Lewis immediately went to work by sending a letter of representation to the insurance adjuster, gathering medical records and putting together a demand letter.
Attorney Mary Lewis leaves no stones unturned. She knows when and when not to obtain written expert opinions, medical narratives, and estimates to solidify your case.
Attorney Mary Lewis not only succeeded in winning a settlement from the opposing insurance carrier, but also negotiated my medical bills down 75%. In addition, she pursued an un-insurance motorist claim and won a settlement with it as well, which makes her an awesome, can-do attorney that you can trust, relax and allow her to do what she does best, which is satisfy her clients by winning cases.

Consulted with Mary first by phone. Set up a time to meet and explain my case and situation to her. She was a good listener and concerned about my situation. She accepted my case. She moved my case forward immediately. She stayed in constant contact with me where the case was and gave me options through the whole ordeal. She knows the laws and addressed my issues vigorously. I would highly recommend her.

Chris Gunnels was hired by me through a friend after my accident in 2015. I was involved in an accident that was a life changer for me and my family. I ended up having surgery I fell behind tremendously on bills. Chris was dedicated and involved in my financial obligations and went far beyond to assist me to getting things caught up. When things were all said and done I walked away with a settlement that was able to help me get all of my debts paid in full and to have a massive nest egg just Incase anything like this was to ever happen again. Thank you Chris for going above and beyond my expectations and the time invested in my life on a personal and business level I will be forever grateful.

I was referred to Chris from another attorney who basically sold me on my decision by telling me how hard Chris works. How calculated he is with his motions. It's an open canvas that he turns into a Picasso! How dedicated he is to the clients that he chooses to work with. Chris is a man of character and integrity which is important in a world full of attorneys that elude those characteristics or sell those traits for the almighty dollar. I must say, I admire his perception of the law and his diligence in his motions and the intuition that he has with his offensive strategy. To be a great lawyer, you have to submerge yourself in your clients case, and you must take the initiative to get to know your client. How can you represent me if u don't know me, if you have no idea of how I think or my idealology and perception of life and circumstance? Chris takes the time to get to know you and understand your story which I think is imperative to the outcome of your case. We were constantly in communication, I was always "in the loop "with progression and information pertaining to my case. Mr Gunnels went above and beyond with my lawsuit and although the judge is making a decision in the next few weeks, I'm confident that we put our best strategies and work towards the outcome that we desire. Chris is definitely a people's person and .... I'm not, so I also learned a lot about perception and impressions that we leave on those that we come into contact with. Any case that I have from this point forward will go to Rohan/Gunnels law firm and all of my recommendations will be sent their way as well. It was my honor to work and learn from this gentleman. The force is strong with him and I strongly advise you to hire him if you want to be impressed. A lot of these lawyers are full of TIHS and they are money hungry sharks preying on your desperation and lack of knowledge pertaining to the law! Chris is an Angel amongst a field of demons. Just come correct and be honest, it helps! God Bless

Chris was recommended to me by a friend of a friend. He handled my divorce case with the perfect mix of caring, serious getting down to business, and levity, making a bad situation much easier to handle. He was very knowledgeable about everything, helping me avoid having to go to court, while securing a favorable outcome. I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone who needs legal representation.

I had what some would call a “complicated” case. Which took time to sort out - many years in fact. Sometimes I wouldn’t hear from the office for awhile unless I contacted them first. I do think that this possibly could’ve been handled quicker. But like I said my case was complicated, they moved offices and then COVID - some delays that occurred we’re out of their control. Besides the delays - my encounters with Kevin and his team were always a delight. They were very professional, and took time to answer all my questions. We ended up getting a settlement for what I think I deserved and that was greatly appreciated. Worth all the time in the end. I would recommend them to a friend but hope they improve on regular and timely communication going forward.

I'm grateful to Kevin and his team of paralegals Kyle and Davis who helped us through the whole case. My case was complex however, Kevin and his team were able to resolve my case that started in 2018. During mediation and deposition, Kevin walked us through the whole process and prepared us for what the defense counsel was going to do and say. My case was resolved in mediation and Kevin always listened to our concerns and explained to us what was the best avenue and what to expect. The case was against Geico, and his posture never changed, thanks to that he was able to make Geico triple their initial settlement offer. I do not doubt that without Kevin and his associates Geico would have won even though they mistreated a loyal customer. I would recommend Leipow and Associates to does who need a great litigation firm.

The Ragland Law Firm truly fights for you as they would fight for themselves, despite any challenges, and over an extended period of time, with an unwavering ambition. I was hit by a drunk driver while pregnant and unfortunately this accident led to my having a fractured spine and needing additional surgeries. The Ragland Law Firm made sure that I was fairly compensated beyond measure. There were several negotiations to ensure that each entity involved considered myself and my situation highly. I am blown away by their efforts and could not have selected a better law firm to represent me.

Mr. Danny Ragland is passionate, dedicated, detail-oriented, and amazing! Danny went to great length for my case to reach the maximum, best possible outcome. My case lasted roughly four years, and during that time, Mr. Danny Ragland and his staff were always readily available to help answer any questions and concerns. Danny was diligent in making sure I was treated fairly by the insurance companies involved in this case. I am forever appreciative to all his hard work and dedication. I will always highly recommend him to anyone I know that may need an injury lawyer. He is the ABSOLUTE BEST!

I met Mr. Bell in the summer of 2009, he was professional, courteous, and extremely caring. He has guided me not only as legal counsel but as a friend. I have been in contact with him at all hours and days of the week. The legal process is far from easy and he has helped guide me through the good and bad times of it. I am not a very trusting person but I can say I trust Mr. Bell with everything. My case has had many steps to it, and he has explained, guided and helped me through each and every decision be it easy or difficult to make. I have referred Mr. Bell personally several time and will continue to do so.

Mia Frieder
Mia worked on a car accident case for me from 2014 to 2017. I had numerous treatments and in the end had to have major back surgery. The insurance Company never made me any offer of settlement. Mia was able to obtain settlements from three different insurance Company.
I can cannot say enough about Mia. You could not ask for more in an Attorney. Mia is a caring person and puts the client first. She takes time to understand her client’s needs and works one on one through out the process. She keeps you up to date on your case at all times. You are never left in the dark as to the status of your case. From day one she was like a very close caring friend and remained that way over the (3) three years she worked with me.
Her Husband Ron Hilley also was very caring and sportive through out the process.
I would be remiss If I did not mention Mia’s office support. They were excellent through out the process as well especially Vanessa and Brian. You could not ask for more support and understanding in trying times.
I highly recommend Mia.

After I had fallen at work I hired an attorney who said that my case was not worth much money. I then hired Ron Hilley who got me a settlement many times the amount that the first attorney said my case was worth. While my workers' compensation case was going on, Mia Frieder told me that she thought that we could sue the building for my fall. The building owners would not settle without a lawsuit. Mia and Ron filed suit and got me a confidential settlement with which I was completely satisfied. I have recommended Hilley & Frieder to friends who said they were pleased.

In February, 2014 i took one of the worst spills of my life,and it happened on the premises of One of the World's Largest Department Store Retailers in America. i fell backwards due to a substance carelessly left on the floor by an employee. After falling, i was in excruciating pain,embarassed,confused and didn't know what to do. As a single mom,self employed with no reliable health coverage,this accident put a sudden stop to my busy lifestyle. To add to my fears i knew i needed help facing this Mega Big Corporate Company........until i found Hilley & Frieder,........Mia not only recovered an Astounding Six-figure settlement on my behalf, ,but she restored my Health,Confidence,Faith in Legal matters and most of all my Trust....The process went by quickly too. i Highly recommend Hilley & Frieder, hands down!!!

Overall Jimmy is an excellent lawyer, result oriented while providing great client service. Jimmy's " never give up attitude" is what won the day for us. Our case involved a medical device claim. From the beginnings Jimmy exhibited an excellent bedside manner, In fact he came to the hospital to actually talk about the case with my wife. He was deliberate and focused. We found that he also was very frugal with out-of-pocket expenses. In the end we received a very fair settlement which would've happened without Jimmy. In my profession I have worked with hundreds of lawyers, accountants and senior executives and I found Jimmy to be in the top 1%

I contacted 8 attorneys by mail and Mr. Goldstein was the only one who agreed to look at my case. He and I exchanged several emails and a phone conversation. Since my situation was a medical issue, he even recommended two specialists with whom I should talk. After several weeks of discussion, he advised me as to what I should do. Given the fact that the other attorneys have yet to respond, I highly recommend Mr. Goldstein to look over your case. He is very professional.

Jonathan handled my personal injury case very well. He was very attentive and was able to answer any questions that I had. He put me with great doctors to help me get back on my feet, and I was able to get a good settlement for my injury. His office staff was also professional and friendly. If I ever have an accident again, there's no question that I would want Jonathan to handle my case!

My husband was hit by a negligent young driver. The insurance company for that driver was a bottom of the barrel outfit that didn't even want to accept fault even though the police report said it was her fault and a completely independent witness said it was her fault. We were referred to Jonathan and when he met with us initially he told us that the claim should be resolved pretty swiftly, but warned us that the insurance on the other side was substandard and that waters could get choppy.
That insurance company tried to low ball us from the beginning, but Jonathan made them pay for it in the end. Their offer didn't double after we hired Jonathan, it didn't triple, it went up about five times. It's not that we wanted a big pay day, we wanted fair compensation for all of my husband's injuries. His rotator cuff was torn in that crash, and that's not small potatoes.
I would hire Jonathan if you want someone that's going to deal with you directly, talk to you straight so that you can understand what's going on, and someone that's going to fight with all he can to hold the responsible parties accountable.

I was hit by a young driver that failed to yield making a left turn. Liability was clear from the start. The policeman wrote her a ticket, an independent witness called the cops and spoke to the officer at the scene, and they totaled out my baby (favorite car) right away. But when it came time to take responsibility and to pay for my medical bills, they offered far less than the total bills, from the ER trip.
That's when I called Jonathan. He met with me and laid out a strategy to fight for me so I got what I deserved Well, that insurance company went from bad to worse. So Jonathan sued. We went through the litigation process, depositions, and all of the discovery process. After the case was put on a trial calendar and ordered to mediation, we walked in with a $ 0 offer. That's right, the insurance company pulled the little they offered me shortly after the wreck. But Jonathan was just getting to work.
Jonathan fought for me, worked the mediator, and insurance defense attorneys to the point of no return. He explained to them how they faced serious bad faith if they did not offer me the policy limits for the claim. By the end of the mediation, I had received an offer for the full policy limits of $ 25,000. A few weeks later, I go an offer for the full policy limits of my underinsured coverage, $ 30,000 more. He went from $ 0 to the maximum coverage, the hard way. The long way, and the right way.
I wouldn't have gotten anything close to that amount without Jonathan's help, his knowledge, and his willingness to fight for my justice. I never wanted a handout, but I didn't want to be shorted. Jonathan got me what I deserved, and I've already recommended him to family and friends, who have been just as pleased.

From the first day I picked attorney Southall I was felt at ease instantly. My case was one that took a while to settle, but from start to end everyone in the office kept me informed every step of the way. Tia, Breanna, and Ms. Johnie were awesome!! Even in times where my case got stagnant Attorney Southall personally would give me calls to ensure I’m at ease during the process. He made sure I got the best settlement possible from my case. I would recommend Attorney Southall to any and everyone who needs an attorney following a car accident. They are the best!

John has represented my insureds in catastrophic matters for over 15 years now. He is very responsive having developed a first class litigation team that surrounds him. He is the most knowledgeable attorney that I deal with across the country. John understands the importance of providing excellent service at all levels, aside from his actual legal expertise, which is vital for the type of cases I handle and assign to counsel.
I have seen John try numerous cases, and he is outstanding in trial. He has a commanding presence in the courtroom, and can connect with jurors from all walks of life. I handle cases from Los Angeles to Miami and still consider John as my home run hitter.

36 years as a claims professional working all across the country has put me in touch with Lawyers of the highest quality on both the Plaintiff and Defense sides. John Hall clearly stands out in my opinion as one of the best of the best. His reputation alone helps us resolve cases with catastrophic exposures. This reputation stems from his superlative ability in the court room. He comes to trial well prepared and has a remarkable ability to think on his feet when the inevetible unexpected adversity occurs. He can speak to jurors across the spectrum and is always well received. The judges respect him and even the most Plaintff oriented judge will give John a fair deal. John is experienced in catastrophic birth injury cases and is frequently hired by our cleints to assist local counsel in venues across the country. John is truly in the Elite of his Class and I recommned him with no reservations!

Wayne Grant was there for me during what could only be described as the worst time in my life. He was professional, yet personable and left no stone unturned in getting standard operating procedures changed in hospitals to make certain what happened to me cannot ever happen to anyone else again. He was willing to take my case even though he
knew it would be an up hill battle all the way. He was kind and
compassionate and always available whenever I had questions or just
needed to talk about what I was going through. I can't imagine needing legal representation and not having Wayne. He is dependable, dedicated to the case, and determined to do what is right no matter what.

Being part of a lawsuit is frustrating. It is emotionally and mentally draining. I am glad Wayne was my lawyer. He was with me throughout the last five years and coping with the situation at hand was much easier with him by my side. Hospitals should be held accountable for any negligence concerning the quality of patient care. Wayne felt the same way. He always knew the latest update concerning the case. I received a letter or email every six weeks. I called quite a bit too. If I had a question, he explained it until I understood the situation. He genuinely cared for me and my well-being. I was nervous about the lawsuit so much that I often times became ill thinking about it. Wayne was always there to listen. There are lawyers and great lawyers. I was blessed with a great lawyer.

Alan Saltzman has been extremely responsive and proactive in all the work he has done for our family. His communication was excellent and we always knew where we were in the process throughout our cases.
After a recent car accident Mr. Saltzman called many times to check on my condition and was very compassionate, kind and showed true concern for my well being,.
During those stressful times Mr. Saltzman helped to keep me calm and continually reassured me that my mounting doctor bills could wait and I should focus on getting better. He was so right. The case was resolved to my full satisfaction and was settled in a reasonable amount of time.
It was a pleasure to work with him and would highly recommend him.
