I worked with Juan Silva from The Dressie Law Firm. He worked on my car accident case for 3 years, he was so understanding and caring. Answered all my questions and more. During this time with working with him I had surgery that was cause by the wreck he had checked in on me while I was in recovery. If you're looking for a lawyer and a team that cares for you personally this is the place. Juan was incredibly caring and he also took out the time to explain things to me I quite didn't understand.
I was heard as a person and viewed as such.
I am so thankful for Juan Silva and the team at Dressie. They went above and beyond.
I thank them with my whole heart.

First of all, I can’t thank him enough for his legal help and support. Attorney Joel went extra miles to help me out while I had a lawsuit against me. I was wronged and taken advantage by another person whom I tutored. I was sued with false allegations. I am so lucky and I thank God that I was represented by him.
He did a psychological counseling and supported me when I was traumatized, frustrated and didn’t know what to do with his legal counsel and help.
I only won the case against the person who made false allegations against me to avoid paying for my services and to a revenge because she failed one of the classes I tutored. He represented me so well in the court hearing and gave a Justice to me.
May God bless him and all his loved ones for helping a person who was taken advantage for his kindness.
I will always be Grateful and Remember his name all my life. Attorney Joel is the Best!

Working with The Fairell Firm was an outstanding experience, and I can confidently say they live up to their reputation. I have referred several people to them over the years, and every single one of them was pleased with their service, professionalism, and how the team helped them achieve their goals. This was the first time I utilized their services for myself, and I can now say firsthand just how exceptional they are.
From the start, they displayed a deep understanding of the legal process and walked me through every detail with care and expertise. Their ability to anticipate challenges and prepare me for things I hadn’t even considered was invaluable. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident and well-informed at every step of the way.
The Fairell Firm’s dedication to their clients is truly unmatched. Their communication was clear and timely, and they always made me feel like a priority. The team’s thorough guidance, support, and ability to deliver results exceeded all of my expectations.
If you’re looking for a legal team that combines passion, skill, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, I highly recommend The Fairell Firm. They’ve proven time and again why they’re the best choice, both for me and for the many others I’ve referred to them

I had what some would call a “complicated” case. Which took time to sort out - many years in fact. Sometimes I wouldn’t hear from the office for awhile unless I contacted them first. I do think that this possibly could’ve been handled quicker. But like I said my case was complicated, they moved offices and then COVID - some delays that occurred we’re out of their control. Besides the delays - my encounters with Kevin and his team were always a delight. They were very professional, and took time to answer all my questions. We ended up getting a settlement for what I think I deserved and that was greatly appreciated. Worth all the time in the end. I would recommend them to a friend but hope they improve on regular and timely communication going forward.

I'm grateful to Kevin and his team of paralegals Kyle and Davis who helped us through the whole case. My case was complex however, Kevin and his team were able to resolve my case that started in 2018. During mediation and deposition, Kevin walked us through the whole process and prepared us for what the defense counsel was going to do and say. My case was resolved in mediation and Kevin always listened to our concerns and explained to us what was the best avenue and what to expect. The case was against Geico, and his posture never changed, thanks to that he was able to make Geico triple their initial settlement offer. I do not doubt that without Kevin and his associates Geico would have won even though they mistreated a loyal customer. I would recommend Leipow and Associates to does who need a great litigation firm.

I was referred to Mr. Bryant Green III from where I was receiving my treatment since my car accident. We set an appointment, met for the first time and I walked out, with a PEACE OF MIND that I can worry less & live more ..I knew I was with the right attorney law firm. His staff has been very very professional. I love Ms. Dorys Chilindron his paralegal. She is phenomenal!!! Mr. Bryant has made sure during the process that I was kept up to date, and kept in the loop as to what was going on with my case. Mr Bryant was very prompt in response when I reached out via phone or email. Very very knowledgable, and made me feel that my case was very important to him. I would recommend the Law Offices of Bryant Green III to anyone needing expert, timely and professional handling of their personal injury case!!

Sarah and her staff are professional, courteous, and compassionate. It's not easy to discuss estate planning. But Sarah has a way of making her clients feel at ease. She also takes it to heart to make sure she answers her client's questions thoroughly and that they understand her answers and the documents they are signing. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah for estate planning.

We contacted this firm due to their many 5 star reviews, expecting to get the same treatment. We were initially met with positive attitudes and a reassurance of why they have their reviews.
It was short lived. They needed US to solve everything for them, and they still couldn’t figure it out. They kept commending us for “acting as lawyers” (doing all the work ourselves) up until there was a delay in a change we were expecting on a paperwork. Expected on Friday.
They didn’t even wait until EOD before issuing us a disengagement letter and showing us the old paperwork. We explained to them that the party responsible for updating the paperwork, doesn’t arrive until the evening on Friday.
They ceased communicating with us when we literally had everything they asked for.
Later that day, we had everything they needed, including the NEW paperwork. (they could’ve done this themselves) and they never recanted the disengagement.
This review is a reminder that this firm is far from the 5 stars they’ve likely paid for or asked for. Also, negotiate your upfront percentage! They accepted a 28% pursuit fee because we did so much of their job for them before they even agreed to work with us.

Sorry to have to be the 1st 1-star review however, it not without reason and justification.
I was recently involved in an MVA accident where Forsyth county wrongly placed fault on me. (The other driver lied, and their “investigation” coincided with this driver at the time). Me sticking to my truth, I contacted about 8 businesses in the area seeking surveillance footage which corroborated with my account on what happened that night. After securing footage at TWO locations, submitting it to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s department, and asking for a reversal of the citation and an amendment to the report, I was granted such by the sergeant after her viewed the surveillance footage and agreed with the other driver being at fault.
I sought Angell Law Firm for their services a few days ago. I’ve gathered all supporting documents, evidence and more for my case on my own (saving them a ton of leg work). We were now simply waiting on an UPDATED report scheduled to be updated today-12/6/24, to get started with representation. I was assigned case manager Fanny Medina who on today, pulled the OLD report, called me and threatened disengagement of representation, due to the report showing incorrect information. She then hung up the call in my face, I called back and was told that she will be forwarding me the report via email.
The email contained her stating that due to the nature of the report, they would have to regrettably disengage representation with me. She also attached the OLD report. I REPEATEDLY told them there will be a NEW report and provided verbal (consented audio recording) communication from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office confirming that.
I just received written confirmation from Forsyth County’s Lieutenant, (at 9:39pm 12/6/24) confirming the new report and the updated information that Angell Law Firm said needed to be on the report. Everything is in writing. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Lieutenants issued an apology and written confirmation to fix and resolve this issue. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?
Why was I ghosted and left without representation? Your incompetent case manager had the wrong report. You all dropped the ball on this one, and I’m holding EVERYONE accountable for their errors in this matter.

I would highly recommend attorney Sasan and the Nemat Law team as I reached out to him to help with a complex landlord situation, and they handled it with exceptional professionalism and care. From the moment I contacted them, they acted swiftly on the same day, ensuring that everything was addressed in a timely manner.
Their deep knowledge of landlord-tenant laws was evident throughout the process, and they explained every step in clear, understandable terms. What really stood out was their patience and understanding. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and guide me toward the best possible outcome.

Attorney Gunn was especially helpful, always available to answer questions and provide reassurance during a stressful time. Thanks to their expertise, My daughter Ms.Yarbra was able to focus on her recovery while they handled the legal aspects. From the very first consultation, their team was professional, compassionate, and dedicated to my daughter's case. They kept her informed throughout the process, explained everything in detail, and fought hard to ensure she received the compensation she deserved.

I accidentally called Mr. Miller's office...but it was the best error I had ever made. Workers comp had stopped approving ANY treatment for my torn disk so i reached out to get treatments approved . Immediately Mr. Miller had gotten treatment approved . Because of the long period of neglect from workers comp, my back became worse to the point that the doctor suggested my needing surgery. I came to Mr. Miller to get my treatment approved and he did along with a great settlement that was not expected. Thank you Mr. Miller and your great team!!

I’ve known Mr. Razavi since we attended the University of Georgia together, so when I was involved in a car accident, he was the first person I thought of. Even though we went to the same college, I had no idea just how talented and dedicated he was as a personal injury lawyer until I hired him.
From day one, Mr. Razavi took my case seriously and handled everything with professionalism and care. He was always available to answer my questions and walked me through the entire process, from dealing with the insurance companies to ensuring I received the medical treatment I needed. His attention to detail and commitment to getting the best outcome were truly impressive.
In the end, Mr. Razavi was able to secure a settlement far beyond what I initially expected, making sure all my expenses were covered and that I could focus on recovering. If you need a personal injury attorney who will go above and beyond, I highly recommend Mr. Razavi!

Joel Thrift is truly a prince among attorneys, a real good guy defending the rights of his clients. He undertook an appeal for a denial I had received in connection with a survivors pension from FERS I had initiated for my disabled brother. Not his usual thing, but he went ahead anyway. His careful prep and writing skill produced a brief that the opposition read before the presentation. It was so well constructed there was no hearing, no questions. My brother was awarded a settlement and ongoing benefits under my Dad's federal pension. Our family is internally grateful. Thanks again, Joel. Katherine and Charles.

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:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
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. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
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. -
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.
