Ian is an excellent attorney! He represented my daughter and I through mitigation after she was hit hard in a rear end collision. As a great personal friend, he helped us navigate through the injury process, looking out for my daughter's best interests while also ensuring we ask the physician's the right questions. I highly recommend (and often do) him to anyone that requires legal advice. However, I do not recommend him as a teammate on the basketball court as he is lousy.

Special thanks to Ian in representing me concerning the car accident I was involved in. Ian was up front with me in what to expect and what not to expect. Presented all options and answered all questions before I asked. Any bills I received he had already taken care of. I was kept up to date by Ian throughout the process and was completely satisfied with the results. I highly recommend his services and his representation in matters such as this.

Finally after nearly four years of seeking justice on an appeal for a case in which I had no resolve after the efforts of four other attorneys, Attorney Borom was able to have the charges dismissed in a timely manner where as the others were not. Now I can move forward in my pursuit of civil recourse in matters stemming from the charges she handled. Thank you for your assistance and experience Borom Law Firm.

I had a situation with Southern Eye Group in Bay Minette, Alabama where they gave me the wrong prescription and I spent close to $400 getting new lenses, getting a new exam (to determine my real prescription) and the trouble of getting more glasses yet again. I called and called and they flat-out told me they were not reimbursing me and stopped taking my calls. Clearly, a lawyer is too expensive to use for just being owed $400, but Mr. Mitchell worked w/ me anyway. Before I get into his goodness, I’d like to say that I am melo-dramatic over my principles. I was fully committed to spending money I didn’t have for a lawyer over this nonsense after the way this business treated me. Many lawyers were not available when the paralegals heard my story (due to the lower-tiered financial outcome for the lawyer in question is my guess.) Many are so good (I guess) that they were always in meetings. Mr. Mitchell was available the first time I called and talked directly to me. I promised him no money up front or anything. He genuinely wanted to hear my story and just started advising me right then and there. He walked me through the entire small claims court process, told me what to do when they defaulted and told me to keep quiet for the next 42 days after I filed the default while the courts work on it so their team of lawyers can’t do anything about it once that grace period passed. Not only has he continued to show me the best routes to take in my specific situation, but he even had me continue to call him to let him know how things were going. I’ve been chomping at the bit to get these reviews out about this man. (I specifically asked him for this website so I could leave the review where HE wanted it.) I wanted to wait until everything was finalized so I could give a full account of all the kindness and advice this sweet man has shown me. I even brought him and his team donuts! He’s so freakin’ nice! I go OUT MY WAY to let folks know about him because his kindness is never-ending. He reminds me of the kindness Alabama USED to show to strangers. Salt-of-the-earth at its best.

Mr. McArdle is a very stand out and stand up motorcycle wreck attorney. When nobody else would even take a look at my case he did. His honesty and goodheartedness is what sets him above all others. He was straightforward about every aspect of my case. And those facts right there were everything I was looking for in an attorney as well as a law firm (honesty, sincerity, kindness and willingness). The television advertising law offices turned me down because it was not an easy victory for them. I now know what those television law offices are all about and truly despise them as companies.

From the first initial consult call that led to a meeting with Derek, I felt like I had found an advocate for my case. I was dealing with another firm that brushed me off and didn't care about me (the client), and he was able to ease any concern to make the switch from them to him on that note as well as many other reasons. I, for the first time, had felt listened too, understood, and ready to move forward with complete confidence thanks to Derek!! He truly led me throughout my entire case with ease, professionalism, care, empathy, as well as always having a solution to what would be overwhelming obstacles at every turn to the normal person. He led my case to a successful outcome while providing such a detailed care for my overall wellbeing, and what I felt was right/fair as well. He definitely will be referred to all my friends and family, and anyone we connect with. Thank you, Derek, I truly cannot thank you for being the advocate that you are for your clients!!! I can guarantee, you will want Derek on your side! -A truly grateful and happy client

Unfortunately, I had the need to obtain legal representation in Mobile County District Court. Not being from AL, I was looking to hire an experienced lawyer to help navigate an unfamiliar court system. Fortunately, I was able to retain the legal services of the Tim Fleming Law Firm. Tim Fleming was professional from the outset and his extensive experience in Mobile County courts proved to be a tremendous asset to achieve a successful resolution to the matter. Mr. Fleming provided quality professional legal representation in the matter and delivered everything he said he would. Arguably, the best compliment a lawyer could receive is that I would definitely utilize his legal representation again should the need arise in the Mobile County court system. Tim Fleming provides quality representation at a reasonable price point.

After sustaining a work related injury in February 2014, I quickly realized that I would need legal representation. A friend and work colleague recommended Mr. Blackwell. Mr. Blackwell and his paralegal, Nicole Brown, take every case very, very seriously. Mr. Blackwell is able to explain the complicated legal process in very simple terms. Mr. Blackwell and Nicole, dedicate themselves to providing the best legal representation available today. Mr. Blackwell is a fighter and uses every strategy possible to win the best settlement possible with the evidence and material at hand. His attention to detail is what makes Mr. Blackwell such a great lawyer. It should be noted that, Mr. Blackwell doesn’t advertise on television, billboards, plaques or other media outlets. He relies solely upon references from his large list of satisfied clients. Rest assured, Mr. Blackwell will take a case to trial if need be, to get the best possible outcome for a case. All of the lawyers you see advertising on the various media outlets, avoid going to court at all cost and will settle a case, out of court, often at the expense of their client. Mr. Blackwell is well respected as an injury lawyer by his peers and Judges alike. In my case, opposing council was well aware that Mr. Blackwell would take my case to trial if an amicable settlement couldn’t be reached. That said, Mr. Blackwell forced opposing council to meet his demands to the letter. After Mr. Blackwell was satisfied that we’d achieved the best possible settlement, opposing council, Mr. Blackwell and myself went to open court to have a Judge review and approve the settlement. In front of the Judge, I was interviewed by Mr. Blackwell and opposing council with regards to the settlement. Then, the Judge interviewed me to make sure that I was in agreement with the settlement too. After the Judge was satisfied on all counts, he addressed me by saying that he knew and respected Mr. Blackwell professionally and that he’s an outstanding injury case lawyer and that he believes that Mr. Blackwell has brought my case to the best possible conclusion. In closing, I will personally recommend Mr. Blackwell and his staff to anyone that has an injury claim and needs the best possible legal representation.

They are very knowledgeable, excellent lawyers, and are also kind and caring people. They have good, professional relationships with other lawyers and judges, which gives them good leverage in negotiating. Their professionalism and calm demeanors made the process smoother and less traumatic than it could have been. They also secured a very good outcome in my case.

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Steve Moore for several years and have seen him give back to the community through charitable contributions along with planning and organizing fund raising events for the less fortunate. The Lawyers and the staff at the Moore Law Firm are the kind of people who are a proponent for the people who need a strong voice to be heard in the time of turmoil. The insurance companies can afford large powerful law firms to protect their profits and you will need someone on your side who is not intimated to go after them to assure that you are protected after being injured in an accident. Then having to deal with insurance adjusters that do not understand the seriousness of your medical issues. The Moore Law Firm is there for you. When selecting a law firm to help you with your case you should ask yourself is this someone who you feel comfortable handling my sensitive personal information or is this someone who is going rush to an early settlement so they can make a new television commercial? Mass communication is not equivalent to superior representation. Always communicate with your lawyer and make sure that they are in this for you and not for their egotistical, self-absorbed life style, which will cost you in the long run. Ask your lawyer, who is going to represent you: Do you live in Alabama? What things do you or your law firm do to make our area better? What is the settlement split between what you are awarded and what you get?

Rick is an outstanding attorney with extremely high morals and integrity who works passionately for everyone he represents. He has represented me for several years and I have recommended him to numerous clients and friends because I have tremendous confidence in the work that he will do and the results he will achieve, which have always been superb. Many qualities differentiate Rick from other attorneys, but one that most fascinates me is his keen ability to accurately predict what the opposing side is going to say or do and to readily anticipate and prepare for any and all options. He seems to always stay two steps ahead of his adversaries. Rick has an expansive knowledge of the law in many areas and specialties. His advice is always spot-on. I highly recommend Rick to handle any legal matter that arises.

He has a broad background in legal matters & in business, and uses it to a full extent to help his clients. It seems that Rick never sleeps and is always looking for ways to save me money, whether it is in reducing or eliminating exposure in a claim or structuring a deal in such a way as to save income taxes wherever possible. Always thinking and attentive, Rick is very impressive in his handling of all legal matters. He is great to have on your side, and I wouldn't like to think of being on an opposing side! Nothing but good things to say about Rick and his firm - an outstanding attorney who does his job with great integrity and professionalism.

For more than 20 years, I’ve been a criminal defense trial lawyer. For over 15 years I’ve known Scott and I regularly refer personal injury cases to him. As a lawyer, referring clients to another lawyer is a big deal. In essence, you are placing your reputation on the line when you send a client to another lawyer. Scott always delivers great results for his clients. Scott is honestly the most organized and efficient attorney I’ve ever met. In addition, he is relentless in his dedication to obtain the best result for his clients. Frankly, he is magician with insurance adjusters. He seems to have some kind of instinct that tells him what the insurance companies need in order to pay large settlements. If you want someone that is going to get the most money for you, call Scott. If you want a lawyer that will keep you informed about the status of your case without you having to ask him, call Scott. If you want a lawyer that has integrity and that his word means something, call Scott. I’ll end with this…I honestly can not count how many people I’ve referred to Scott over the years. I’m certain it’s more than 20 people. In every matter, my clients called me after Scott completed their case to tell me “thank you” for referring them to Scott. You will not find anyone better to handle your personal injury case.

Jessica was like a good neighbor. I called her once, we consulted, agreed to work together and from then on, she was there! Lately it's being noised that SIZE MATTERS! As usual it doesn't. It just takes one person like Jessica Powers who knows her way around the body. Of evidence that is! She knows what she's doing.

Jessica was hired in a car accident case. She was able to stay right on top of everything and close the case very fast. Jessica felt more like extended family than our attorney. She was very pleasant to work with and relieved us of any concerns my family had. Jessica is very knowledgably. I would recommend her to anyone. She is very hard working and was honest and up front with us about everything.

I could not be more pleased with Mr. Howie's legal services. I worked in Government Contracting for 25+ years and interfaced with attorneys on a daily basis. Mr. Howie is, by far, the most knowledgeable and pleasant lawyer I have ever worked with. My explained the seriousness and implications of filing bankruptcy. He definitely eased my anxiety about the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance. Also, his staff (especially Kim) was friendly and responsive every time I called with questions, which was probably 7 or 8 times.

Firstly, I would like to thank Kevin McKie and the entire Environmental Litigation Group team for the excellent legal services they provided while I was going through the most difficult moments of my life. Not only is Mr. McKie extremely professional and skilled, but he is also a very caring and compassionate man who did everything possible to help me recover compensation in a shorter time and who took a personal interest in my case ever since the beginning. To say that Mr. McKie is a good asbestos litigation lawyer is an understatement. He is the best! If asbestos has taken away your health, you at least deserve financial compensation. Please contact this amazing attorney and you will not be disappointed.

Kevin McKie and the ELG staff were incredibly helpful and eager to do all they could to recover the compensation I desperately needed to pay for my cancer treatment and surgery. The idea of taking legal action has always put me off and I tried to avoid it as best as I could, but eventually, I was left with no other option than to file a claim, as I couldn’t afford to pay for all the procedures. Attorney McKie has undoubtedly changed my negative perception of lawyers by providing excellent and prompt services, calmly answering all my questions and going to great lengths to speed up the process. He is also very compassionate and understood what I was going through emotionally. I was advised to file with more asbestos trust funds to recover a larger sum of money and sure enough, my claim was approved shortly after. Words cannot express how grateful I am for having had Kevin McKie take care of my case. He is a highly skilled, competent and caring lawyer and I’d recommend him to anyone who needs legal counseling.

Kevin McKie is without a doubt a true expert when it comes to environmental litigation. I was very hesitant to seek legal assistance at the beginning since I was aware how complex and demanding my case would be, but at my family’s repeated suggestion, I decided to do it. My case was indeed as complicated as I’d thought, but this didn’t stop Mr. McKie to invest all his energy into solving it. I can honestly say I’ve never met such a passionate and competent lawyer who was also very honest since the beginning about how long my case would take to reach a resolution. Receiving compensation is your right and I strongly encourage everyone whose health was destroyed by these toxic exposures to take action. Mr. McKie is definitely the go-to attorney and you will be pleasantly surprised with the results!

Gregory Cade is by far the most compassionate and driven attorney I’ve ever met. My mother was a textile mill worker in the ‘60s and was exposed to insane amounts of asbestos dust on a daily basis. She was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma earlier this year and we decided to take legal recourse. Mr. Cade was recommended to us by a family friend. We were instantly certain he was going to be able to help my mother and we were absolutely right. In less than four months, my mother was given a far greater amount of money as compensation than we’d expected, all thanks to Gregory Cade’s amazing skills and competence.

This exceptional attorney has made a very painful time more bearable for me and my family. While I wasn’t the one who needed legal assistance, my grandfather, who had been an insulator for most of his life, was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma and we encouraged him to take legal recourse. We were astonished by Gregory Cade’s display of compassion and genuine care for my grandfather’s health. After our first consultation, he assured us that he and his legal team would do all in their power to submit the claim as soon as possible so that we wouldn’t have to wait for too long. Indeed, our expectations were greatly exceeded and my grandfather received compensation in the shortest time possible for such a complex and time-consuming case. Mr. Cade, as well as the other members of the ELG team, are amazing professionals whose service are invaluable to asbestos victims and we highly recommend other people injured by asbestos to take action, too. Recovering compensation is easier than you might think with the help of an experienced legal team such as the one at ELG!

I would like to thank Gregory Cade for his excellent legal assistance and also to the ELG team for everything they did for me. Without the guidance of these amazing people, my asbestos claim wouldn’t have stood a chance and I certainly wouldn’t have got the compensation Mr. Cade was able to obtain in such a short time. He is a highly experienced and well-informed attorney with a remarkable work ethic who will not settle for less than you deserve. Mr. Cade is also a great listener. I was very stressed before our first consultation because I knew how complicated personal injury cases can be, especially asbestos ones. However, he calmly presented me all the legal options I had and helped me make the best decision. I’d recommend him to anyone who was affected by asbestos exposure without hesitation!

I met Brad Ryder over two years ago. At the time my mother was in the hospital because of care that she failed to receive while a patient at a local nursing home. Brad and his staff took an active interest in my mother’s situation. Over time my mom’s health deteriorated and Brad made sure that he visited her on a regular basis. I remember Brad bringing his son to the hospital on Christmas day, so that he could meet my mom before she passed away. I could tell that this was important to Brad. Brad and his staff always kept my mother and me informed of what was happening. They worked hard to help bring my mom’s case to a conclusion. After many hard fought battles with the nursing home and their attorneys, Brad was able to help us settle my mom’s case. My mom and Brad enjoyed a very special relationship. I still consider Brad to be a member of my family. He is honest and hardworking. Brad is also someone who cares about his clients.

I was in a very bad accident on the job, no fault of my own. I suffered neck injuries, hip, knee and a severe concussion. I couldn't remember my name or where I was at times let alone try to fight for my rights. I didn't know where to turn, I felt so alone and lost. I felt like that was the last chapter of my life just broken and beat up with no job, until I found Renee! I called her and explained everything, we scheduled a free consulation. We talked and she was so kind and I don't mean the "do what you have to get the client" kind. I mean this was genuine concern, I wasn't just a number, she treated me like a human being that needed to be shown some human compassion. She was like a guiding light in the middle of complete darkness! It took a long time because of the severity of my complications, but Renee was steadfast, staying very consistent with communicating everything and any changes that occurred. Her knowledge about worker's compensation laws are impeccable, she advised me strictly according to the laws. She answered all my questions, she always made sure I understood whatever we discussed. She never gave up on me or the case, she stood her ground and stood up for me. If you decide to hire Renee for any of your legal issues, you will have made; in my opinion one of the best decisions in a lifetime. She never stops working for you, she stands strong and confident in what she knows from the years of experience and from what she learned from one most outstanding attorneys of a lifetime, her father. She will fight for you when you don't have the strength to fight for yourself. I plan to have Renee to handle my will and trust,etc. Thank you Renee for not giving up and fighting for me and getting me a very nice settlement to help me get back on track. I couldn't have done this without you.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.

Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:

  • Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
  • Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
  • Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
  • Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
  • Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
  • Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:

  • Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
  • Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
  • Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
  • Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
  • Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.

How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
  • Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
  • No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.

Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
  • Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.

While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.

Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer

Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. How long will my case take?
    While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim.
  6. Do you have references from past clients?
    Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.

How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
  • Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
  • Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
  • Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:

  • Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
  • Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
  • Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
  • Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
  • Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
