I hired Brian I believe in 2007 and he was awsome. In 2009 i was in a bad accident and I needed an attorney again, but I couldnt find his number so I tried calling other attorneys and they refused to help me. Then I finally found Brian Allen number after several weeks and he said he could help me without any hesitation. He is very helpful, he kept me informed on everything that went on with my case. If i called and he wasnt available he was always quick to return my call. I always recommend him to anyone that has been in an accident that needs a great attorney.

You always hear the horror stories about Attornies but my experience with Brian blew all of my expectations out of the water. Brian is an attorney above all others, he was very knowledgeable, professional and always did more than what he said he was going to do. The one & only problem I have with Brian is that at this point I don't have anything else for him to do for me. You can be comforted that you will be in the best of care with Brian on your side.

I was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck by another vehicle that ran a stop sign. I was hurt badly. The company that was insuring the vehicle I was in was giving me the run around, while the insurance company of the at fault driver was completely ignoring me. I needed help fast. A friend of mine suggested Wattel and York, so with hesitation I sent off an email. Within literally 5 minutes I received a phone call. Much to my surprise it was the attorney’s office, and not just a paralegal or legal assistant. The ACTUAL attorney called me and discussed my case! I went in the following day for a consultation and they took my case. Throughout the whole process, all I can say is how wonderful this firm is. From their legal assistants and paralegals all the way up the lawyers themselves. They’re timely and accurate in their communication, whether it is over email or telephone. I could call and talk with the attorney anytime, and they would drop what they were currently doing to answer any questions I had. My fear and despondency disappeared with sweet release as I read the demand letter that Michael York sent to the insurance companies. It was extremely well written and was “matter of fact” in its demands. The insurance companies paid out in full all that was requested from the demand letter without hesitation. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to anyone who was injured in an automobile accident. This law firm really does fight for you!

August 12, 2015 (Wednesday); 2:30 p.m. EDT Sierra Vista, Arizona Thankfully, I've led a benign life. I learned when I was very young from my wise parents that life by itself is difficult enough without negatively encountering the law. I went to college with those who became attorneys, and have known attorneys through working for charities we had in common, but I never needed legal representation until I was nearly 65 years old. It was a horrific traffic accident I was in nearly three years ago that first caused me to find and secure an attorney. There were several that urged me to contact the firm Wattell & York, one friend, having been in the same circumstance years ago, saying, “You don't stand a chance against the insurance companies. Its against their best interest and bottom line that they pay out claims of any size to anyone.” My first conversation after registering was with Michael York, one of the general partners of the firm. He took his time explaining in layman's terms the course ahead, then invited me to contact him at any time I had a question, concern, or thought. He was terrific and put any trepidations I had to rest. And my confidence in he and his team only grew as my case unfolded. When complexities arose, and they always do, I was so impressed and appreciative of his long and detailed correspondence, clearly articulating options. Throughout the complex and distended process of my case, I was always kept current as to the status of all developments as they transpired. Through much communication and correspondence, it was so evident to see that the general partners of the firm and all supportive staff act as a tightly coordinated force, always pressing forward with their client's best interest in mind. In a world where insurance companies act in the settlement phase of a claim so vastly different than their cute slick promotions strongly suggesting compassion, caring, and fairness for all, I feel beyond fortunate that I retained the services of Wattell & York. Thanks to Michael York, Wattell & York is an extremely competent, well run, and efficient organization that I highly encourage anyone to retain. When you do, with a determined and tenacious team on your side, you have a tremendous chance in getting the settlement you so richly deserve. Best Wishes, Tommy Neyhart (520) 220-0221

I had a significant problem with a large auto insurance company in paying labor rates at a recommended auto body shop. After 9 months of squabbling including a demand letter from an attorney, I was referred to Mr. York. Mr. York took the case and was able to work with the insurance company in an efficient and timely matter. He was able to get me reimbursed in only a few short weeks. I would highly recommend Mr. York to anyone.

James handled a matter for my wife and me. It was an experience that exceeded our expectations. He is trustworthy, honest, does exactly what he says he will do, and is an effective advocate inside and outside of the courtroom. He is aggressive when he needs to be, but he is always pragmatic and solutions-oriented. And he's not afraid of going to trial and fighting for you (he's very skilled inside of a courtroom). He promptly returns phone calls and emails, understands the law, and will give you candid feedback, even if it is not what you want to hear. You can always count on James to give you an honest opinion and to represent your interests with enthusiasm. I strongly recommend James and would not hesitate to hire him again.

My wife and I had done quite a bit of research as to the ins and outs of the laws pertaining to an employment contract. As a result, the further we researched, the more questions we had, so we finally decided we needed professional input. We contacted James Cool and made an appointment for an after-business-hours telephone call. Within 30 minutes of our conversation, Mr. Cool had not only answered all of our questions but answered using practical examples that were easily absorbed. He showed great attention to detail and instilled a high level of trust. His demeanor was professional yet quite personable. My wife and I felt as if a giant weight had been lifted off of our shoulders. Based on our experience, we highly recommend him.

I relied on Corey to help with a somewhat simple post-decree child support case, complicated by the military retirement system. He was on top of everything and fully understood the military pay system and military law as it pertains to family law in Arizona. Further, he quickly responded to my phone calls and to motions filed by my ex's attorney. He was fair, honest, and besides how hard, efficiently, and intelligently he worked for me, I loved that even when the opposing attorney was suspect of acting unscrupulously, he wasn't quick to judge her, but wasn't letting her off the hook, either. To me, in the world of attorneys, that showed integrity and professionalism. If you're looking for an attorney who takes a holistic approach and will work hard for you, hire Corey.

From the moment we talked to him, he was very helpful in giving us our options and what the process would be. He always answers emails, calls back, and keeps you informed of what is going on with the case. Specially with him handling something from a distance. Just a very pleasant Lawyer.

Corey was hired by me to defended a series of charges. The first charge was for several felony charges that where levied against me for a medical marijuana grow and patient cooperative that did not meet the letter of the law in compliance. After being let out on bail, a traffic stop resulted in a second set of charges by the Pima County Sheriffs department. They siezed my vehicle and charged me with 3 additional felonies. The second charges were an over charge trying to create a case or patern when one did not exist. The first resulted in a plea that ultimately was an undesignated felony that reduced to a misdemeanor after successfully completing my probation and cumminity service. The second set of charges, were ultimately fully dismissed. The Sheriffs department recharged me in different courts after each dismissal but ultimately Corey was able to get all charges dismissed once he could argue the case. Corey was there to explain what was happening and arguing hard for me. He took a very unpleasnt experience and got me a great resolution to a horrible situation. I highly recommend him.

I was in a terrible motorcycle accident in 2012 that resulted in permanent injuries. I found Scott Palumbo quite by accident in 2013 and was so glad that I did, as the original attorney I was with, lost his license to practice law! Right from the start, you could tell that you were dealing with a talented family man who is passionate about his work, and who has principals and integrity. I immediately knew that I was in capable, experienced hands, which instantly put my mind at ease after the experience I had with the prior attorney. Over the last couple of years I have gotten to know Scott & all I can tell you is that he is an exceptional "one in a million" professional and is a man of substance. He is detailed, trustworthy, provides expert guidance, informative through out the entire process, gets results and most importantly puts your interests well ahead of his own. I will always be truly grateful to both Scott and his extremely competent Legal Assistant Susan and consider myself very blessed for having found him.

It was a privilege to have Scott Palumbo as my attorney. I was involved in a motorcycle accident causing hospitalization and rehabilitation. To find quality representation, I asked my mother to contact her friend who is the City Attorney of my hometown. She recommended that I contact Palumbo Wolfe & Palumbo. To sum up my experience, everything went smoothly and I always knew what to expect. Scott took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and gave me a sense of ease. It was very easy to contact Scott when I needed something. I find Scott's character honest, knowledgeable, and confident. I am more than happy with the results. I highly recommend Scott to represent cases involving motorcycle accidents.

Hopefully you will never need the services Palumbo Wolfe & Palumbo offer, but if you do you will not find better representation than Scott Palumbo and staff. He specializes in representing catastrophic and life changing injury cases. He is the Michael Jordan of Trial Attorneys, no joke. My case went 3 years and finally settled days prior to trial. During that time I watched Mr. Palumbo in front of the judge and was truly impressed at his ability to think 12 steps ahead of the defense. He is a family man with high standards and exceptional character. He is a straight shooter and will tell you how it is. He has great support staff that communicates very well and doesn't miss a thing.

We liked this man right off! His demeanor. My husband and myself were in an area we were/are ignorant about but we felt the weight come off our shoulders after meeting Steven Weinberger and his partner. We feel so fortunate that they were referred to us and that Steven was the man that would take our case. He was on top of it from the beginning and before 24 hours was up he had the situation sorted out and in order. The time needed to close the deal was dependent upon the snail-mail system. Certain original legal papers were needed. Any waiting was from that and even with that it was handled with us being informed about what was. He talked to lawyers and insurance companies to see what really was happening and what was next. Steve always returned phone calls even when he was on vacation. He dug into the situation quickly and discovered more in our favor than we ever thought possible. He made a bad situation feel better and took care of us. We can't say enough about how happy we are that Steven was introduced into our lives. He's no stuffed shirt either, just one heck of a great guy/lawyer.

Steve reversed an initial claim from my insurance company where they denied my water damage claim. he was very implicit that when i reached out to him that i give him specifics to my case. He reviewed them and again asked many questions to get clarification from me..he did not want innuendos or vague input Once i completed my summary he professionally discussed each point with me so he was clear as to what actually happened. He then constructed a lefter outlining my facts and timelines. He sent the letter to State farm and initiated verbal communication with their claim department. At all intervals he kept me informed of the discussions and counseled me as to my needed steps. It was about 4 days after Steves intervention and communication with my state farm agent etc that the corporeal office reversed their initial decision. His thoroughness and follow ups were impeccable. His accessibility was amazing..very prompt and professional

Mr. Hofgard is helping with a predatory/fraudulent mortgage where my home was targeted for it's foreclosure value. Mr. Hofgard knows mortgage lending and foreclosure laws. He's honorable and straightforward. I wish there were more attorneys like him. Mr. Hofgard nails the issues quickly and clearly. He's amazing. He keeps me informed and listens. He's said my mortgage fraud is one of the worst he's ever seen. After fighting the actions of the unlicensed loan originators/lenders for more than two years, I have hope justice will prevail and truth will come out. It's unfortunate when criminals use the civil court system to avoid criminal accountability. I hope the predatory lenders, and those who helped them, will go to jail for a long time and won't hurt other homeowners.

I was fortunate to have Ward Rasmussen handle my case. I was hit by a car as I walked into my fitness center. The woman, a distracted driver, never saw me. I tried working with my insurance company but my case kept being passed from one adjustor to the next. Finally, my husband and I decided to call an attorney. We called Osteen&Harrison. A few days later I received a call from Mr Rasmussen. I did wonder if we had a case~we did! Ward got right on it and we received the entire insurance policy amount from the woman's policy. Ward also told us that we had an underinsured policy that we could receive. He worked on that and even worked on insurance payments from my husband's health insurance. We are very satisfied with the outcome. I hope to never need Ward's services again but if I do I would not hesitate to call him. Ward, Thank you!

They handled the insurance company's calls, medicals bills and restored my life. My case has settled and my life is back to normal.

I was in a severe accident in October 2014. Spencer aggressively fought my case and dealt with all my medical providers to defer payment until the case was settled. I was able to receive the medical treatment I needed from the accident with no hassle. This is key when your hurt and need to heal. The last thing you need is denial of medical treatment from an accident. Spencer took action to ensure I was taken care of. Furthermore, Spencer settled my case in less than a year. Due to Spencer’s aggressive tactics, we settled the case at max amount. The kind and generous Spencer lowered his fee to ensure I received more money. I would classify Spencer as an aggressive lawyer, kind person, and generous spirit. If you need a lawyer to stand by you after an accident, I would highly recommend calling Spencer Dickson.

Bryan is truly the best. He is professional, attentive, and hard working. Although we encountered many hardships in a seemingly hopeless situation, he was able to get us fantastic results in a settlement. We were hit by a drunk driver that had minimal insurance through a family member’s policy, amongst other things that came up along the way. We highly recommend his law offices for any personal injury claims.

We live in another state and our local attorney wasn't licensed to practice in Arizona. Jim Goodwin was recommended to us by an attorney friend in Arizona as a competent Arizona attorney who could represent us in a slip and fall accident at an Arizona hotel. Jim successfully resolved our matter in a timely and efficient manner; we were impressed with his courteous and competent manner and would enthusiastically recommend his services.

Jim did a great job in a very tricky, complex case. He put a lot of effort in explaining what to expect, listening to my concerns, preparing me for depositions and updating me on progress. He is articulate, professional, well prepared and quite skilled. I felt assured I was in the best hands to represent and defend me. I was voluntarily dismissed from the litigation.

Mr. Robinson handled my personal injury case for a car accident I was involved in back in 2013. The first attorney I hired couldn't get a reasonable offer from the other side so they transferred my case to Mr. Robinson who took it to arbitration and was successful in doing so! Mr. Robinson was there for me throughout the whole process and at the arbitration he did such an amazing job. Within 2 days we got the good news and won. He is professional, honest, and a knowledgeable attorney. I truly recommend Mr. Robinson and I will definitely come back to him if I need a personal injury attorney in the future. Thank you again Mr. Robinson for all your assistance. Couldn't do it without you!

I think Mr. Reijonen defines what a good attorney should be. A friend of mine recommended him and, first, I wasn't really excited to meet him since I haven't heard or known anything about him, not to mention his girlish name and hard-to pronounce last name. Met him about less than a year ago, discussed about my injury case that previous two attorneys considered a "waste of time". He took his time explaining my options and gave me some valuable advice regarding some of other legal issues that I had free of charge as well. I ended up hiring him and results were exceptional. When I left his office, I felt like I had a visit with a great friend. A nice guy and great attorney!

I was involved in a car accident after college. Thinking I could handle it myself, I learned the hard way why you need an attorney to represent you. Recently I was involved in a second accident, and I hired Chris to represent me. His office handled everything. He made sure my rights were protected while I was healing and kept a bad situation from getting worse. I learned from my first accident that you can mess up a case very quickly by saying or doing something wrong. It was not worth the risk to repeat that, so I am very glad I hired Chris. The comfort of knowing he would do all the communication with the other persons insurance was a huge weight off my mind and allowed me to focus on getting better fast. He got a fantastic result for my case, and from start to finish I was glad I hired him. I'm sure he had other cases much bigger than mine, but he made me feel like a VIP and not just another number. Would I recommend him to others or use him again myself....ABSOLUTLY!.

As a retired Criminal Court Judge (18 years) and a licensed attorney in Illinois (32 years) I can unequivocally state that Sean Woods is one of the finest attorneys I have ever encountered in my legal career. Sean represented me in a contractual dispute that I had with a less than reputable contractor when I first relocated to Arizona. He not only resolved my case expeditiously but the result he achieved far exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of the law and the legal strategies he employed were brilliant. Sean Woods is an exceptional lawyer and I highly recommend he and his firm The Law Badgers.

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.
