I had the unfortunate experience of being involved in a car accident where my vehicle was hit by a Fairfax police officer. To make matters worse, they denied responsibility, leaving me in a difficult situation. Thankfully, I found Salem Amare, who provided outstanding legal representation and support throughout the entire process. From our first meeting, Salem Amare was empathetic and understanding of my concerns. She meticulously gathered evidence, built a strong case, and communicated with me regularly, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. Her knowledge of the law, particularly in cases involving police, was evident and gave me confidence that I was in capable hands. Salem Amare was not only thorough but also relentless in pursuing justice on my behalf. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, we were able to overcome the challenges posed by the police’s denial and secure a favorable outcome. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend Salem Amare to anyone facing a similarly challenging situation. Thanks to Salem’s hard work and compassion, I was able to win my case and receive the compensation I deserved. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate lawyer, especially in cases involving car accidents and interactions with the police. Thank you, Salem Amare, for your exceptional service and your generous commitment to your clients!

I reached out to Scott Perry to help evaluate a potential medical malpractice case. I was extremely impressed with his amiability, the depth of his knowledge, and his responsiveness to my questions. I consulted with a number of lawyers on the case and, unlike most of the others who didn't know when the statute of limitations would apply or what legal actions to pursue, Scott quickly understood the facts of the case, knew the relevant statutes, and gave me sound advice. In fact, with his experience, he actually knew some of the doctors involved and was familiar with how the particular insurance group handles malpractice cases. Overall, I had a positive experience working with Scott and would recommend consulting with him.

I cannot recommend attorney Misha Lopez and his boutique law office highly enough! From the moment I stepped into their office, I felt valued and understood. Misha is incredibly attentive and truly client-focused. He took the time to learn every detail of my case, ensuring he was well-prepared for litigation. What sets Misha apart is his commitment to his clients. He is always available to answer questions and provides clear, thorough explanations of every step in the process. It's evident that he genuinely cares about the outcome and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible results. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney, look no further than Lee Lopez Law and their team. They have exceeded my expectations in every way and made a challenging situation much more manageable. Highly recommended!

Servicio nefasto, he llamado 5 veces durantes las ultimas dos semanas para coordinar con el abogado que ve mi caso y hasta el momento no tengo comunicación, deje varios mensajes con las secretarias y hasta la fecha no me dan ninguna información, cabe recalcar que mi corte es en 7 días. No recomiendo este bufete, son buenos para cobrar pero una vez que uno termina de pagar ya no le dan seguimiento al caso.

Tiffany was great! While my issue was not picked up for representation she did provide sound legal advice during my consult. She saved me thousands of dollars and allowed me to have closure on my issue by letting me know very empathetically and professionally that it wasn’t something I could sue for. She was great! I appreciate her time and her legal knowledge!

After having a first ever encounter with police, pulled over for a traffic violation, and issued a speeding ticket along with a reckless driving charge, we asked around and our family friends recommended to contact Mark Cummings, at law firm Sher, Cummings, and Ellis. With the excellent assistance of Adam Collins, Mark listened carefully to our story, identified the alleviating circumstances and took careful and systematic steps to approach the case. He established and maintained communication with the police and prosecution, suggested a driving habits course to be taken, and made an excellent presentation of the case during the actual court hearing. Mark succeeded in dropping the reckless driving charge to a speed ticket and above all with clean DMV records. We would definitely recommend Mark for any case in Northern Virginia / Washington DC area.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Amha. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional, polite, compassionate, and attentive to every detail of my case. Navigating the immigration process can be incredibly complex and stressful, but Amha made it so much easier by explaining every step clearly and ensuring that I understood what was required. His extensive knowledge of immigration law and experience was evident throughout the entire process. He was always quick to respond to my questions and provided valuable guidance, which made me feel confident that my case was in good hands. The personal attention I received made me feel like more than just another client; Amha genuinely cared about my well-being and success. The meticulous attention to detail and careful preparation of my application resulted in a successful outcome, and I couldn’t be happier. He anticipated potential issues and proactively addressed them, which gave me peace of mind throughout what could have been a very challenging time. I wholeheartedly recommend Amha to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer. His dedication, expertise, and compassion are truly unparalleled. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for your immigration case, look no further.

Elizabeth represented me for a misdemeanor traffic infraction. This was the first time I had ever required a lawyer, so I was a little lost on who to reach out to. I saw Elizabeth's great reviews and reached out for a free consultation. When I called, she already had my case pulled up with the corresponding state law. She walked through the process and was very forthright about the possible outcomes. I hired her to represent me and could not be happier. Before the trial on the court date, she spoke to the officer who pulled me over and then the prosecutor and was able to get my case dismissed. It was exactly the outcome I wanted. Irrespective of the outcome though, I was impressed with Elizabeth's dedication and commitment to me and my case.

Her initial consultation was scheduled within 2 hours of my request for information. She did a fantastic job setting expectations, explaining the entire legal process, and representing me in court. I appreciate her being personable, genuine, and being extremely responsive in all communication. I highly recommend her!

Elizabeth was an excellent attorney in representing my case in which I was dealing with a serious traffic infraction. She was very professional and knowledgeable from the get-go, helped me file a motion immediately, and was able to get my case moving in the right direction. I had fired my previous attorney for being unavailable and unresponsive and with Elizabeth I found her to be the complete opposite. She was quick to return emails, answered questions, easy to talk to, and explained the process very well. Laid out expectations very clearly - didn't overpromise and underdeliver (as some lawyers are apt to do). I've worked with a few attorneys in the past and Elizabeth has by far been the best. I highly recommend her. Went to court this morning to adjudicate my case, she talked to both the officer and the prosecutor, argued my case in front of the judge, and we got exactly what we wanted!

The characterization of Tom by "Tony" bears no resemblance to the diligent and hard-working attorney who represented the company I co-founded in several disputes, including a contentious and difficult litigation, ultimately negotiating a favorable settlement. Tom puts in the hours and put our minds at ease about the judicial proceedings. He combines the aggressiveness you want in your lawyer with the intelligence in crafting arguments and making complex strategy calls.+ The highest praise I could give is that, were I or my business facing a new legal dispute, his number would be the first one I would dial.

I called Dan to get a prenup. 1. He spent 75 minutes on the phone recounting prenup basics and legal history (all of which I could've googled) then charged me $487.50. 2. I email asking for next steps. Dan emails me an engagement agreement that said "ADVANCE FEE OF $32,000.00 is due immediately as the fee advance." I tell him this is not what we agreed upon during the call and ask if it was a typo. He responds with something along the lines of 'just sign it'. I decided to use helloprenup instead.

I’m not very good at making recommendations and rarely do. But I had to express my gratitude for Mr. Dodge and his assistance. I can’t begin to convey how much of a lifesaver, estate saver, Mr. Dodge has been. My aunt died in February and left a very messy estate. Just after being appointed, the executor developed a life-threatening illness and needed to be replaced. Mr. Dodge learned of my situation from another attorney and called me on a Sunday morning to offer his help. Despite his busy schedule and the immediate and overwhelming needs of the estate, Mr. Dodge kept the estate out of foreclosure and enabled me to honor my aunt’s last wishes. From the beginning, Mr. Dodge was very supportive and responsive. Not only was Mr. Dodge a great source of legal knowledge, but he was invested in the outcome. He and his staff were very hands-on, answered all of my questions and helped me to remain positive throughout the whole process. He is smart. He is kind, very professional and easy to work with. I can’t imagine a better person to be in my corner.

Tried to hire him in December of last year and he was very rude and unhelpful. Answered the phone just saying "Yeah." No "This is the law office of Sean O'Connell" or anything to identify who I'm speaking to When trying to go over the details of my potential case, he kept cutting me off mid-sentence and not allowing me to finish. When I tried answering a question he said "How about you listen to what I'm actually saying." I was trying to answer his question but he cut me off. I just hung up. Very rude, not professional, and isn't a serious lawyer. My case got resolved by another firm, but Sean W. O'Connell was the worst experience to even have an intake meeting with.

I take no pleasure in writing these sorts of reviews, but in my case, this was a scam. The attorney repeatedly did not do what he said he would while charging $400 an hour. I would say his performance was worth maybe $80 an hour at best. His motions were replete with typos, and he had little understanding of technology, not just forensic technology but even Microsoft Office. He repeatedly lost track of versions of documents. The final straw came when the motion I hired him to litigate took 6 months, $20,000, and yet his exhibits were out of order. Avoid this representation at all costs.

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.
