I was connected to Alex Moskovic through an Employer referral service at my work. I hired him regarding a no contact staking order against a former employee who harassed me and my family electronically and exerted multiple threats. This was an emotionally very draining time. In short, Alex helped me to obtain a 2 year plenary order by agreement, a rare achievement thanks to his great knowledge of the law. With the order in place I feel protected from the harasser and can continue living my life. As someone who never faced any legal situation, Alex guided me through the process and was available to talk when I needed him. He calmly answered all my questions and explained happenings in court, their implications and next steps in a way I could understand, which was important to me. Alex also multiple times provided his professional opinion on a parallel criminal case against the same individual that was ongoing. With his dedication, I wish Alex could have represented me in this case too. Overall, I’m very happy with Alex service and will recommend him to anyone seeking representation for an order of protection. I hope I will never need such legal services again, but if I do I will surely get back to Moskovic Law!

It was a pleasure to work with our attorney Alex Moskovic to help resolve an issue that needed a professional. Alex was always very thorough and professional during the legal process. He was able to resolve the conflict and we were very happy with the outcome. I would certainly contact Alex if we ever needed professional assistance again.

Alex was my attorney handling my post-divorce action for college expenses. It was a very difficult situation with an uncooperative co-parent and unorthodox opposing attorney. I was very happy with how Alex handled my ex and his attorney. He was always responsive to me and knowledgeable about the law, the judge and provided excellent advice to get the matter settled. He knew when to 'play hardball' and when to tell me to make concessions. I highly recommend Alex to anyone. He is a great attorney.

Lou was very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Lou knew the best type business to file for my consulting business in my state. He helped me close out a previous filing and create a new one quickly. He had a fast and thorough turn around. We also used his services to draft and execute our trust. We would highly recommend Lou and have sent many family members his way.

After five years of working with a different medical malpractice firm on my case, it was time for me to seek a different legal counsel. I felt my initial attorney did not invest the time nor the effort I was promised during my first (and only legal) consultation. Last year, I retained the Martin Law Firm. After just two weeks, my new counsel knew the intricate ins and outs of my case, worked with the speed and integrity I had hoped for in this process, and (I felt) had a deeper knowledge of and empathy for the injuries I had sustained and will always suffer from. With Martin Law, there was an appropriate, but delicate, sense of urgency and fight for me, the client, in mind. A precise, thorough, and well-communicated plan for forward movement in my case was shared, and the momentum in my litigation process began. As consummate professionals, Jeffrey and his partner, Shauna, checked in on me often and kept me updated each and every step of the way. Knowing what I know now, I should have shopped around for attorneys and not settled for the first one I had consulted with years ago. Had I started with Martin Law, I'm confident my case would have been settled years ago. I am forever grateful for their expertise and would never hesitate to send a friend or family member their way if ever in need.

I hired Jeff Martin to represent me in my injury case. He has done excellent job handling it and negotiating very good settlement with insurance company. Jeff is one of those "rare breed" No Nonsense attorneys who go straight to the point with you, honestly answers your questions, and actually pick up the phone every time you call him. He has deep knowledge and experience in injury field, and he knows how to apply it while he works on the case. Those characteristics also apply to his office assistant Barbara - they both very efficient. On top of all that - Jeff and Barbara are simply very nice, pleasant people to work with - so Martin Law is my attorney's office of choice and I strongly recommend it to anyone with injury case.

I recently was pulled over for driving on a revoked license & no seat belt in Lake County. While on probation. I was absolutely sick to my stomach & Affraid. I called a good friend of mine and explained what happened to me. He told me to call Paul. So i did. When Paul answered and spoke to me. I was instantly relieved. His demeanor proffesional manner & knowledge was like no other lawyer i have used before. We went to court on the first appearance. He showed how great he trully is. He got the seat belt ticket thrown out. He got my driving on revoked reduced down. Probation terminated and a meger fine with supervision. . I really thought i was going to jail. Witch was Scary & Financially devestating to my family. But thanks to some good advice from a friend and a true pro like Paul. Things worked out well. If i remember correctly during my first phone conversation with Paul he reassured me that it would. God Bless You Paul. Million Stars. Bryan Edmiston People please do your mental health a favor and pick up the phone and call this man. Paul will put you at ease.

YES!! you should hire Paul B. Wharton as your attorney… With cases ranging from Personal injury, Divorce and Criminal, I felt good it was a good fit. I was treated with the utmost respect, pure professionalism, prompt follow up, and a wealth of experience behind him… 33 years to be exact. Paul made a difficult and stressful time more manageable…a sigh of relief in knowing I was in good hands.

Mr. Wharton is a man I can’t thank enough! Today he made a miracle happen and I’m blessed to come across a lawyer who is as knowledgeable as he is. I contacted Mr. Wharton to represent me for multiple traffic violations including a speeding ticket for 120mph+. With a driving abstract like mine, I didn’t have much hope of the outcome, but Mr. Wharton managed to make magic happen! If there’s a will, there’s a way and Mr. Wharton does what it takes to get the job done! I will forever recommend Paul Wharton for what he has done for me.

I don’t know where to start! I found Anisa on a lawyer directory. I reached out to her because I was seeking council for 3 traffic tickets that I racked up in a fender bender that I had gotten into. 2 of the 3 tickets I wasn’t worried about however the 3rd had me very nervous because it was my 2nd ticket for driving with no insurance so I knew I would be suspended, especially since I was already on supervision for the first occurrence, and a suspension would affect my livelihood. When I initially spoke to her, after giving her the details of my case, she was very transparent with me about fees and such. She was neutral about the possibility of the outcome which was hope for me since I had called another attorney that had given me a grim outlook. After our phone consultation I felt fairly confident about having Anisa as my counsel. In court, on 6/14, things looked bleak however thankfully her experience and in depth through knowledge of the law enabled her to negotiate a plea for me that would allow me to keep my license valid and my fine far lower than expected. From beginning to end I thought Anisa’s services was wonderful, her fees economical and well worth it, & I thought that her communication with me was great. I am beyond elated and grateful for Anisa’s services and I will certainly be recommending her!

In the beginning, the accident I was in, I felt I was being taken advantage of working on my own with the other parties insurance company. Asking Shauna Martin for help was the best decision I made. She was very helpful and informative throughout the process. She guided me from the beginning to the end of my insurance settlement. She really went the distance to get me the best result, which I am very happy with. I did get the result I was looking for in the end. I would definitely hire her again and will recommend her to any of my family, friends, etc.... if they were in a similar situation I was in. I never really had any concerns after hiring her on my case, knowing she had everything under control. Thanks again, Shauna:)

I should have guess based on the attempt to contact the Law Office of Ronald Justin would have been the indicator of the experience that was to unfold. Once contact was finally established, and prior to hiring Ronald, he reviewed my family law case to evaluate if he had the capacity. He accepted the case, stating his plan and what could be done. All documentation was provided to him, evidence, timelines, organized and complete. That was a year ago, and there has been little no no movement on his part. I should not have to send certified mail to get an update, or a return phone call after weeks of reaching out and being met with silence, or complete disregard for my inquiries. Furthermore, as other reviews have advised, he used the excuse of a paralegal he was considering terminating because they were the cause of the ball being dropped on numerous occasions. His failure to be diligent and communicative allowed mistakes to occur in the court room, and allowing orders to go through against my wishes, because "he didn't see the email", and again blamed another party for that error. After three weeks of sending emails for updates on my case, and items he claimed more than once would be filed "soon", unreturned phone calls, and a court date he not only did not show up to, but did not communicate he would not be present for, and had another associate who I had never met, nor had any insight on my case, fill in. I issued a deadline for his response, to where I received an after hours phone call informing me he would be withdrawing from the case after, three weeks of silence. The withdraw is not the issue, as that was the plan with the expectation that his false promises of delivery wouldn't be met, further neglecting my case. It's the lack of professionalism and the lack of accountability for his consistent failure to provide legal counsel. This will result in filing a complaint with the bar, and an investigation to ensue. I would not recommend this office for anything that requires court appearances, time and accurate communication, or if the lives of your children and yourself are dependent on his performance.

Brian is a treasure to me and my family. My daughter was involved in a terrible car accident that resulted in a ruptured intestine and over a week in the hospital. Thankfully, she recovered fully. However, she gained a medical bill totalling over $148K in the process. Brian, not only got her the maximum pay out from the perpetrator's insurance company, he negotiated with the hospital and got them to settle her medical bill for less than 16% of the total balance! Brian in our family's new hero, and we're beyond grateful to have him in our corner.

I found myself in a terrible situation a few years ago and Scott took my case. I felt helpless and didn't know what to do. I hadn't done anything wrong, but found myself fighting an uphill battle that had torn my life apart. Scott isn't the type of attorney to just tell you what you want to hear. He's realistic about what outcomes you can hope for and what outcomes you should expect. He's kind, compassionate, makes time for his clients, and is open to your ideas. But most importantly, he will fight for you because he actually cares and he knows that the job he does can be make it or break it when it comes to clients' lives. If it weren't for Scott, I wouldn't have the most important part of my life and be in the place I am today. I'm only disappointed in the fact that I can't leave more than five stars and that it took me this long to leave a review, because there is no one I would recommend more than Scott.

I hired this man to represent me. It was horrifying. In addition to losing my original file when he RETIRED AND CLOSED HIS CHICAGO office. As a lawyer who has tried hundreds of cases, I question whether he ever tried one. He has no idea how to question/qualify an expert, get a business record admitted, or know enough to ask for a basis for the ruling. Crosses witnesses as far from you as he can so you cannot comment or REMIND HIM of the actual evidence. And do it 1 shame on me. Do it 3 times after you were asked not to and it smells. You will be forced as I was, to settle and alot of people will suffer. The field is saturated. You can do so much better. I won't even practice anymore. He gives us the bad names I now understand.

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.
