"Thank you for your nice message; I have reviewed everything and am wrestling w/ a decision. I will be in touch soon. I hope the Holidays are good to you and your family.
Wes"
Hello Mr. Gralapp,
I don't even know if you're alive or will ever see this message; however, I do want you to know that whatever decision you were wrestling with those many years ago did not conclude well.
I opened this message with one of your messages sent to me with your own words. I want you to know that my children and I have suffered financially and emotionally terribly since the tragedy and since you and NBA sold me out to Ensco. My husband was having a mental breakdown and while he was out there he was their responsibility. They should have sent him home to me. Because they failed to do so, I became a 28 year old widow left to raise 3 small kids on my own. I am 47 years old now, my kids are 26, 24, and 21 and we all are still living with trauma that we never could afford professional therapy for. Consequently, that trauma has manifested itself in several unfortunate ways.
Although dealing with the emotional trauma, I raised my kids as best I could. After they became grown, I went back to college and received 1 bachelor's and 2 associates degrees, but it has left me with overwhelming debt and responsibilities. I could not find a job in my field in Louisiana so I had to relocate to a different state for work. This means I am paying bills in 2 states now since I can't afford to fix my house up to put on the market for sell. I make a good living now, but unfortunately, overwhelming debt makes it a moot accomplishment.
You came to my house in 2006 and basically looked me and my family in our faces and guaranteed us that Ensco was liable for Antwan and you were going to work on our behalf to make them own up to it. Obviously your law office decided to make a deal with Ensco to screw me and my children over. I have a very supportive family and honestly the money wasn't a priority then. My kids and us all processing the situation was my main priority. Being that I was dealing with my own pain and the pain of my children, I trusted you to handle the legal aspects of it all and you failed us miserably.
I honestly just wanted you to know that although we have suffered, we have not given up on the power of God. Without my faith and my supportive family, I wouldn't have survived this. I will continue to work hard and keep God first and trust and believe that eventually I will find emotional and financial relief. You and NBA did not do right by me, but my faith dictates I must forgive you, and I do. But before I completely did, I had to let you know the impact that your decision has had and continues to have on the lives of myself and my children. I'm sure this doesn't matter to you, but I had to get this off my chest

I had the opportunity to consult with Richard Arsenault about issues related to Social Security Disability. He provided great advice and was very helpful. He is a great lawyer and a fine gentleman. I highly recommend him for representation on Social Security Disability Claims.

I had a complex legal issue and I am an attorney that specializes in criminal defense, immigration, and domestic law. I’ve been practicing for over 10 years and I’ve known Tommy it seems like my whole life so when
I felt like I needed help where my partnership of approximately, 13 years was dissolving and my partner and his wife were taking advantage of me. The first person I thought to call was Tommy to make sure that I wasn’t being taken advantage of.. I couldn’t think of anybody else that has the legal experience and the care he gives to his clients; so I picked up the phone called him met with him. He first made sure I was OK before getting into the legal aspect Of the case
he immediately got to work had a plan and I couldn’t be happier with the way Tommy handled the case and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of the case Tommy did things that other attorneys wouldn’t do Tommy even though we were friends Tommy takes his practice very seriously his case is seriously he cares about all of his clients and whether you’ve known him for five minutes five years, he treats everybody the same, and puts the same amount of effort and work in each and everyone of his cases and myself and my family couldn’t be happier with the work Tommy dead as well as outcome but what differentiates Tommy from everybody else is this the little things that he does it really aren’t a part of the case but it helps put you at ease and it helps you and your family out while he’s still working on your case so we couldn’t be more grateful and thankful to Tommy and his staff and if you ever have anything complex is not many people and there’s not anyone I can think of that the knowledge is willing to put that knowledge to work anything complex for any legal issue you have will keep fighting fighting fighting for you

Mr. Tarpley and his office handled my case with the utmost professionalism and helped me settle my dispute with positive results. He achieved the most desirable outcome with my case. And helped walk me through this difficult process very easily. He and his assistant are very professional and familiar with the local court process and personnel. AMAZING JOB!!! Love this guy. I contacted him, and his office helped me through this difficult time. No worries if Mr. Tarpley is on the case.

I got a felony charge just by being at a house when a fight broke out so I called around to find a lawyer and when I got in touch with Mr. Tarpley he immediately wanted to meet he knew we needed to get on this case as fast as possible to get it resolved! He got the warrant voided that was out for my arrest and kept me from having to bail out of jail. He was always thier if I had any questions or concerns. He was always available if I needed him no matter what time of the day or night! He got my charges reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and continuing on to getting the charges completely dropped! He is a very dedicated man in his line of work and I would recommend him to anyone!! Thanks Mr. Tarpley!!

I hired Mr. Roy after a car accident. Someone ran a stop sign and hit my car. Mr. Roy was very knowledgeable, not only concerning legal aspects, but also with medical information. His recommendations were excellent. His professional service and support were also excellent. Mr. Roy spoke with me personally at each visit. I was also very pleased with the time frame in closing the case, and the results were more than expected.

he immediately got to work had a plan and I couldn’t be happier with the way Tommy handled the case and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of the case Tommy did things that other attorneys wouldn’t do Tommy even though we were friends Tommy takes his practice very seriously his case is seriously he cares about all of his clients and whether you’ve known him for five minutes five years, he treats everybody the same, and puts the same amount of effort and work in each and everyone of his cases and myself and my family couldn’t be happier with the work Tommy dead as well as outcome but what differentiates Tommy from everybody else is this the little things that he does it really aren’t a part of the case but it helps put you at ease and it helps you and your family out while he’s still working on your case so we couldn’t be more grateful and thankful to Tommy and his staff and if you ever have anything complex is not many people and there’s not anyone I can think of that the knowledge is willing to put that knowledge to work anything complex for any legal issue you have will keep fighting fighting fighting for you

Would leave zero stars if that was an option. Never returns calls and takes weeks and sometimes months to reply to an email. Never updates on what’s going on and acts like she could care less about the case. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!

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:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
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. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
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. -
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.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
