When I started looking for legal help with my workmen’s comp case, I was frantic, frustrated and overwhelmed. I was in pain and no one seemed interested in helping me. Then I found Greg and his amazing assistants Dina and Andrea. I suddenly had a whole crew in my corner ready and willing to fight for me. Greg answered every question and offered endless reassurance, especially when I would call him in a panic about something haha. He was always available and never made me feel like a bother. He explained every step along the way and never talked down to me. I was made to feel really cared about and that my case was important. He handled everything with compassion, professionalism and obvious experience. He’s simply the best attorney I’ve ever worked with. His book is a godsend and a great resource for dealing with the challenges of workmen’s comp. His assistants are incredible. Every email responded to promptly and every issue resolved. I couldn’t have made it through this without Greg and his assistants and I’m forever grateful for their kindness and support.

I am so glad that I have had the pleasure of working with Greg Boles. He is knowledgeable and diligent in his work. He is an attorney that you can trust to handle your case with care. I would not hesitate to recommend again him and have done so before for Worker's Compensation and matters of Social Security Disability. He fights hard for his client's benefits and makes sure they understand the process from beginning to end. Greg is a great attorney all around, 5 stars!

Knafo Law Firm settled our personal injury lawsuit in a very quick and timely fashion. The insurance company submitted a few low ball offers for my injuries and Jerry said no until our demands were met. Excellent communication throughout the whole process Kudos and great work to the folks at Knafo Law firm.

I contacted Mr Qaqish after I received a traffic ticket. I was looking at getting four points on my license for my first offense. Mr Qaqish took my call quickly, he was very curtious and explained the process very well and alleived my anxiety. He was even able to go the hearing without me when my docket was rescheduled to a date that I was out of town. He was able to get me a reduced fine and NO points. He called me out of town and updated me too. I am so happy I contacted him rather than trying to go through the process myself. His fee was reasonable and more than worth the great service I received.

when I was convicted of a 2nd DUI & possession of marijuana in Lehigh county You almost think life is over & now I have a bad criminal record. Choosing Edward has gained me confidence in my future background not being damaged. I’m not from Lehigh county but searching for a lawyer, I came across Edward. We had a great consultation on the phone and he was professional and honest about what the plan was going to be. I was confident in hiring him as my attorney and we also managed to knock off my drug charge and traffic violations that saved me money in fines. I was looking at jail time but he worked out a plea deal with the DA so I would only do house arrest and I could continue to stay in school & also continue to work. If you ever need a lawyer in the Lehigh county or any county I highly recommend Edward in fighting your convictions against you so that you can continue life with confidence and structure.

Attorney Frisoli Furst (Carolyn) was retained by me after my wife of 19 years left and took along our two sons, ages 16 and 12 at the time, refusing to let me visit with them for almost a month. Carolyn gave me excellent legal advice, and successfully navigated me through the necessary legal twists and turns to obtain limited and then shared legal and physical custody, 50/50 on an interim basis, within 6 months of litigation involving an uncooperative spouse. 9 months later at the end of a protracted custody trial, she had argued successfully enough for my judge to award a final ruling of shared legal and physical custody, 50/50!!! From our first meeting to date, she has remained available to me and provided timely responses to my concerns and questions, relying on her legal education, knowledge of regulatory law, and familiarity of our County's Judges to represent me and my interests with the highest of standards. She benefits from a free-flowing relationship with her practice partner, Attorney Reich, who served in my case as an in-house consultant, and finally, an excellent Paralegal, Michelle, who is a very professional and highly organized individual.

Mr. Crossley handled my automobile accident claim and he was superb! He was professional, patient and companionate during the entire process which can be a grueling experience but it wasn’t for me thanks to this fantastic attorney. In the end; he recovered what I deserved and that was my maximum settlement. Mr. Crossley is not only an excellent attorney but he is a terrific human being looking out for what’s best for his clients!

This group is a very positive thinking group of Attorney's. Pleasant to be around. We were looking for an Attorney for Grandparent Rights. Called Ian. We went to court for the visitation rights. Our situation escalated very quickly emotionally. Mike stepped in to push for our time deserved with our grandchild and to push it farther. Escalated to a situation once again on a holiday morning. Texted Ian just to let him know what was going on. I never expected any answer back. He was on the phone immediately giving us the advise we needed. The situation hit what I would say an emergency and David also got involved. These 3 gentlemen I feel felt the anxiety and hurt we were feeling. The 3 of them together as a team had to work very fast and hard to make our grandchild's life safe again. The rose to the challenge. I am proud of them for what they and their staff have done for us. We are now the Adoptive parents of our Grandchild. the child will never have to fear again. Just be a kid. You guys and your staff. You were GREAT!

I reached out to this law firm for assistance because I wanted to remove myself from the Intellectual Disability system which can only be done in court. Okay, so I received a response from them saying no one can assist me at this time but provided contact for Lehigh County: Intellectual Disabilities which I am certainly NOT contacting. I said I want to be removed from the IDD system, correct? Did I say anything at all about providing me contact so people can talk me out of it? I am not that stupid… I know what would happen... Understandable they cannot assist but they clearly provided a contact for Lehigh County, they did NOT even provide a contact for an attorney who might be able to assist. Seriously??? And do not even refer me to attorneys who works for this system... It's not so much I am not happy for any help given. It's "oh he has an IDD and needs to speak with someone other than an attorney"... And now if myself or anyone else would call this law firm out or any other law office and they have no problems at all by assisting in terms of contacting the police...

I engaged them for a legal consultation on 04/01. They insisted on full payment of $200 before the meeting which was not a deal breaker for me however not standard practice. A partner jumped on a video call with me for 35-40 minutes. I left the meeting with more questions and confusion than I had before and no clear strategy from my "legal consultation". She told me I should contact her over her email/phone however my calls or emails have not been returned for the past 8 days. Felt unprofessional and a quick money grab to be honest.

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.
  • 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.
