This woman is absolutely amazing. She is the definition of above and beyond. Watching her work is like watching a piece of art being created in front of you. While we did not get the outcome we were hoping for in our case, she made a case that was mind blowing. The only reasoning behind the bad verdict was 90% the jury sadly. Most of them didn't want to be there and made that clear when I heard them talking outside of the court room. The courts in GA are a whole other world I have sadly learned. However I cannot say enough good things about Leslie. I would not hesitate to hire her for anything needed. She not only does an amazing job in every way, but you can tell she truly cares about her clients and their families. The amount of time she spent talking to me alone throughout the process was mind blowing in it's own matter. Even with the case being done she is still helping with the next steps and things she doesn't even need to help me with. If you need one of the best attorneys in Northern GA, this is definitely one of the first ones you should speak with.

I recently engaged the services of Ruppersburg Accident and Injury Attorneys. Michael Ruppersburg’s law firm truly exceeded my expectations. From the very first consultation, their professionalism was evident—they took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and mapped out a clear plan of action.

Josh Branch, Cap Russell, and their team are superheroes, plain and simple. I was in a car accident in November 2022, on my way to work the week after Thanksgiving—and just one week after paying off my car loan! A teenage boy turned across three lanes of traffic directly in front of me while I was going 50 mph. I was driving a Honda Civic Coupe, and he was in a Super Duty Ford F150. I remember my life flashing before my eyes. I was taken to Piedmont Hospital by ambulance and later sent home with three broken ribs, stitches in my knee, abrasions on my arms, shoulders, and legs, and bruises across my chest and abdomen where the seatbelt saved my life. Josh and Cap fought for me for nearly two years while the opposing party tried every trick in the book to paint me as at fault. This was despite clear evidence to the contrary and the sworn statement of the Georgia State Patrol officer who was the first responder at the scene. The opposing party’s insurance repeatedly lowballed me for a full year, offering a settlement that was less than half their client’s insurance policy and not even enough to cover my hospital bills. Almost two years to the day, Josh and Cap settled my case for 50% higher than the opposing party’s insurance policy—nearly 3.5 times more than the insurance company’s original offer. I cannot express the gratitude and respect I have for this team of real-life superheroes. Thank you so much for all you do, for what you stand for, and for the genuine care you have for your clients. I cannot recommend The Law Office of Joshua Branch highly enough. If you're seeking legal representation that truly cares about you—not just the paycheck you can bring—look no further. You won’t be disappointed!

I cannot speak highly enough about Attorney John Baker of Baker and Slider. Mr. Baker represented me for approximately four years. During that time, he kept me fully informed about all the details of my case. He returned my calls promptly and most importantly was exceedingly ethical in all of our dealings. This four-year period was extremely challenging. Mr. Baker was exceptional at managing this case and my expectations. If I needed another attorney in Georgia, (I sincerely hope that I do not) Mr. Baker would be my very first choice.

If you are looking for an injury attorney, Blaine is exactly who you looking for. Blaine fought hard for my case... With all the attorneys I contacted he is the only one who accepted my case without hesitation. He believed we had a case from the beginning and never gave up. Blaine would answer his phone at any time of day or as soon as he possibly can and will never leave you waiting for a phone call or text. Thank you Blaine and your team for always being there and not giving up on my case. We knew from the beginning that it may take some time to fight my case and may even go as far as a jury trial. I will surely seek your advise whenever I need one and will highly recommend you to all my friends and family.

I emailed 3 days no reply waited 3 more days then told me I wasn't being reasonable in email. He told me he never asked Jason details back and forth since I don't have marks or holes in my body he dont want it. He cares nothing about being in a cage for 27 hours or the 15k it cost my family to defend myself... The fact is clear he is the type who rarely will go to court he's a office type lawyer.

Before calling Mr. Alan Cleveland, I was nervous about talking to an attorney since I had no prior experience and didn't know how to start the conversation or approach my case. But don't worry. From the moment you speak with him, you will know you are talking to the right expert. The entire conversation was very warm, and his great knowledge in this field was evident. Highly recommended!

My only experience with this "said" attorney is the fact that he wrongly accused me of being someone that was employed by one of his clients. I would think that a checks and balance system would be in place before one "said" attorney could just sock a law suit on an innocent individual. I've never worked for his client nor never will but apparently its going to be MY responsibility now to get to the bottom of this and do someone's job and have my name removed from this bogus law suit. I'm pissed that this has happened and it shouldn't have happened. When called "Attorney" Cain should have taken the responsibility and at least apologized about HIS wrong doing. Guess that was too much to ask though. Yeah...I wouldn't have given him even one star but had to rate him something. If you are looking for an attorney, I definitely wouldn't recommend "this" one, because he seems to not be very thorough, as he just does random searches off the internet and anyone that has the same name he just socks a law suit on them. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

I have known Mr. Weems for approximately 16 yes. He has represented not only me but many of my friends & family. He works very hard for his clients & is very dedicated & committed to getting justice for them. He is by far the only attorney I know that fights for his clients as though he is fighting for himself. He certainly takes no backlash from insurance companies nor adjusters. He earned the nickname bulldog attorney for a reason. If you need a great attorney who will truly fight for you & your rights, please call Mr. Weems. You will not be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of working with attorney Freddrell R. Green for a consultation, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service I received! He took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and provided valuable insights and advice tailored to my situation. What stood out the most was Mr. Green's genuine empathy and encouragement throughout the consultation.He not only addressed my legal questions but also took the time to understand the emotional aspect of my situation which meant a lot to me. After consulting with Attorney Green, I felt empowered and confident in my next steps. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. (T. Stephens)

Lack of communication. Consistent delay. No valuation to customers as a priority. Lack of knowledge in relation to case. During the process of attempting to work with this firm. The paralegal we were assigned to work with appeared to have had a nasty disposition. Upon bringing light to the situation it was discoverd the individual was said to have been sick with frequent hospital visits. With regards to her health and a sincere desire to have empthy for her a conversation was had with relation to the importance of tone and the situations others may also be experiencing. Furthermore with an attempted advancement in interaction amongst this firm we quickly took note that there was little to no organization in relation to the reception of documents as multiple documents had to be sent two-three times. During the duration of each phone call appointment there were delays often exceeding 45min in which the same questions would be asked from previous conversations or requests for documents already submitted. This we feel was a direct reflection of the firms lack of accountability to review the case and/or go over notes before scheduled appointments. To add we were dissapointed to have to experience appointment aburt cancelations the day of appointments. During the waiting duration of two-three months we were not paired with another paralegal after and instead had to remain steadfadt in patience. Non the less two-three months later after finally hearing from the lawyer himself we were sadly told this case was something he felt was more complex than he could handle and that we should seek help elsewhere. With respect to the valuation of time and the importance of it in this short walk of life. I feel individuals should use this experience as a determination or guide of consideration when making important selections for services such as those offered by this firm.

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.
