I want to highly recommend Andrew Traub for doing such a great job on my case. I was always informed of the status of my case. He helped me get some chiropractic treatment which was very important because I was injured. He is extremely dedicated to getting you the best settlement possible. He is very skilled at weeding out members of a jury that could hurt your case as well. If I am ever in an accident in the future he will be the one that I hire to take my case. I will recommend him to all the people I know!

Andrew is very professional and succeeding in getting a very satisfactory settlement in my very difficult case. He was diligent and maintained a high level of communication throughout the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking assistance with a claim that is being denied by the insurance company.

Andrew was thorough and very knowledgeable. He cares about his clients and was very easy to work with. I was very satisfied with the outcome of the case.

I was wrongfully accused of a Title IX infraction. Marc is an exceptional listener and possesses the innate ability to ascertain facts from friction. After discussing my situation, Marc walked me through the Title IX process and explained how we should address the issue. Marc assisted in drafting a response letter to the adjudicate and coached me leading up to the interview. In the end, the accusation was not a Title IX issue, and flaws and false accusations in the claimant's testimony surfaced in which the case was ruled in my favor. I would not have known how to respond and properly defend myself without Marc’s assistance. Finally, Marc was always responsive and his fee for service was reasonable. The value of legal service with winning results is exceptional. Thank you, Marc.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Marc; but I will give my best attempt for anyone going through challenging and distressful legal matters to completely give him your trust!!! I truly did not believe my case would result in being COMPLETELY DISMISSED, and somehow Marc was able to get it done!!!!! Filtering through my options of attorneys, Marc gave me the best offer of anyone and had my interest even more when he told me he was previously a prosecutor for several years. I just followed everything Marc guided me to do. He constantly walked me through everything every time we met. The justice system is certainly intimidating, and he made the experience simple from the beginning. He explained what was happening, every outcome and exactly how they came to be, what things to expect, what things to prepare for and how to prepare for them. Facing a number of F1 charges, getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, I was anticipating that I'd have to do probation in the VERY least. Getting my case dismissed entirely still seems unfathomably unbelievable to me, and I am infinitely grateful for everything Marc was able to do for me. The weight of relief I feel is inconceivable! He is incredible at what he does, and I cannot recommend him enough!!!!! I will always recommend him to anyone for as long as he is in the business!

I hired Marc Chavez for a Title XI case I was named a Respondent for. To put it briefly, he was incredible. He was present at all of my interviews with investigators and provided me with useful legal counsel throughout the entire process. Marc without a doubt is in a class of his own. On the day of our hearing, the Complainant tried pulling a fast one on us by having a surprise witness show up to testify against me. Marc handled the situation amazingly. He managed to stay calm and continue to present our case in a clear and concise manner. If you find yourself being falsely accused of violating Title XI policies at your university, Marc Chavez will be key to your exoneration. I cannot recommend him enough.

I had the occasion to consult with Bruce regarding a real estate ownership issue as it related to a minority stockholder, and also an insurance question. I felt that Bruce was thorough in his research and knowledge of those subject matters, and gave advice consistent with what was in my best interest. I feel Bruce can be aggressive when he needs to be, but understands the compromise necessary in daily life. Bruce is an accomplished litigator, and was referred by another lawyer who felt Bruce was more qualified in the litigation area.

I would highly recommend Frank de la Garza to any customer who seeks superior services as well as results. He and his team of skilled legal advisers and strategist treated my case along with myself, with nothing but the utmost of regards. He’s a lawyer who actually considers the client’s well be being during even the smallest of decision. As a client, I was never subjected to any useless task. My time was never waste. Being a husband, father, and teacher, time is extremely limited. He kept informed of every decision and potential outcome despite my absence from several meetings. Mr. de la Garza was extremely knowledgeable and productive. If you are in need of legal services I urge you to at least contact him. It could be the best decision of your life. The Carter family will be forever grateful!!! Thank you Mr. de la Garza for treating my family as your own. Alfred

I was interduce to Mr. Lavorato from a very good dear friend of mine. I explain to Mr. Lavorato my situation a little over phone to him, he ask could I come into his office and meet with him. Just walking into his office gave me a relax feeling, I have a conversation with him and he stated that he would have to run this across the other members of the staff and will get back with me, and he did the same day. I was fighting this for four months and everyone kept on closing the door in my face as if I done something wrong. Mr.Lavorato said something to me that really set me at ease, he said (I don't like to see when someone do someone wrong) He never pointed that finger at me he just listen and took action. If I ever need an attorney again I will seek his advise and direction. He is the best.

I don’t know that I can accurately put into words the amount of gratitude and respect my husband and I have for Chris Lavorato, but I will do my best. After we were injured in a serious car wreck, we were referred to the law firm Howry, Breen & Herman. Everyone we worked with at the firm is wonderful, but Chris is truly exceptional. Not only is he a powerfully gifted attorney, but he is also a man of integrity and compassion. His communication with us from the very beginning was clear, concise, and honest. His word is his bond – if Chris said he was going to do it, he did it. This alone would have earned our respect, but then the final result of our case far exceeded our expectations. Chris worked hard for us to secure a settlement he thought was fair and just (it was evident he had gone way above and beyond in his preparation) and we could not have been more pleased. We are thankful beyond measure to have had the blessing of working with him and feel extremely confident that anyone else who does so will feel the same.

I am so thankful for an amazing, honest, caring, and talented person such as Chris and his ability as an attorney. He is so professional, and I’m just grateful that I am no longer being put in a bad or dangerous or abusive situation where I was being unfairly attacked, treated, and harassed in a professional environment ALL THANKS TO CHRIS intervening as my attorney.. There is laws against such behavior and Chris was able to stop ALL this bogus weird harassment toward me with his swift action. He removed the problems, stress, and worry this was causing me out of my life. I am utterly grateful. I was being made fun of for a disability and picked on. It’s awkward because in 2019 America I cannot believe such a chaotic situation occurred & I didn’t know how to handle it. I was recommended to Chris Lavorato , contacted his office and he was the real deal. I couldn’t have more respect for him. 10/10 rating and I think most people with a legitimate claim or personal injury will found out they hit the lottery with Chris as he is not only a good person but a good attorney.

If you have never been involved in a lawsuit get ready for a long up-hill fight; especially if you end up going to trial. That being said, I could not recommend Mark Pierce highly enough to help you through the process. Mark is a man with highly desirable qualities both as an individual and as a lawyer; he is intelligent, quick-witted, personable and most importantly honorable. Everyone knows different lawyer jokes, and after seeing some of the opposing-sides' lawyers in my case I have a fist-hand understanding of why some get a bad reputation. However Mark Pierce is a credit to his profession and if all lawyers had similar characteristics there wouldn't be a single lawyer joke out there. I hired a lawyer and developed a friendship with an amazing man who won my case in front of a jury. Mark was incredible to watch in court and had was completely squared-away in every aspect. Thank you again Mark.

Ray King is an exceptional lawyer! I found myself in a tough situation after a serious five-car accident, and the insurance company initially offered very little due to their 'policy limits.' From the moment I contacted Ray, his unwavering dedication to winning my case was evident. Throughout the entire process, he maintained a remarkable level of honesty and transparency. Thanks to his expertise and commitment, we managed to secure the maximum compensation from the insurance company. I had a large amount of hospital bills due to the accident, and Ray even got those reduced! This really helped me because I did not have medical insurance. Moreover, Ray moves fast! He was able to get the policy limits in only 3 months. He did not let the insurance company drag the case out. I have complete trust in Ray, and he will be my go-to attorney for any future accidents. Highly recommended!

I was involved in an accident riding my motorcycle to work where the other driver did a u-turn right in front of me. After the accident and emergency surgery I called another attorney who didn't want to take my case and made it seem like I was at fault. I found Ray King doing a Google search and he came over right away and spoke to me personally. He is always quick to respond to calls, texts or emails and communicated regularly with me to let me know how things were going. Ray helped me by dealing with my insurance and the other drivers insurance and helped us get the money we needed to help with my medical expenses and then some. Without his help it would have been a long drawn out process and have taken much longer to have my finances settled. Thank you again Ray for everything you have done for us.

For anyone who is unsure about seeking legal aid, my first choice would be to send them to Alex's practice. He's especially skilled when it comes to putting a situation in layman's terms and easing the mind of an average Joe. It's something that can soothe anyone's intimidation of the legal process, and give you more confidence. If you're honest, explain your situation, and help him by keeping all your details sorted, then he should be able to help you knock the issue out. In my opinion, the true measure of any legal practitioner's merit is their ability to apply it in any situation necessary. Anyone can find a dusty bitter old attorney who is painfully adept in the courts, but is devoid of any compassion. It's almost impossible to find an attorney who is just as skilled but can also serve as an emissary for those who are downright daunted. I was super relieved after receiving his help, and am very grateful for the peace of mind I now have. I've always had a bit of a phobia regarding the courts and dealing with lawyers, but thankfully I've found an honest and relatable practitioner that I know I can trust. I don't often run into any situations where I can utilize his assistance, but I never hesitate to send my friends and colleges his way whenever they're in a bind. Long story short, go see Alex. He's a really cool dude and knows his stuff!

This has been a little longer ride than I thought. Luckily I had chosen the right law firm to do the driving. I had the pleasure of dealing with Attorney Craven. Throughout the entire process he kept me informed on the progress he was making. I went through some things after my accident, both physically and mentally. He showed me compassion and understanding for what I was going through. He made sure my worries about the medical bills and charges were taken care of. And as my case was coming to the end he was able to look me in the eye and tell me this is the best we can do. You need to understand that is all that I had asked of him, to do the best he could for my family and I. And I believe he did. So would I recommend Funk & Associates to help you?

I just became a US citizen and I do not think it would be possible without Jason. He helped me first with the resident card and removing all the conditions and then told me when I was ready to become a US citizen we could do that as well. He made the process very easy and I felt so prepared when I went to the interview to take the test. Don’t forget to study your 100 questions! Thank you Jason !

Excellent experience! Mr Lopez graciously met with me in my home after being hospitalized following a motorcycle accident. From our very first introduction his professionalism exceeded my expectations. He was confident in his ability to be successful and fully open and honest in communication throughout the duration of the case. I felt like I could trust him which was so important to me since my knowledge of law and personal injury was so limited. He followed through on everything we discussed. I felt like I was in good hands and received the best possible service. I hope to not have any further personal injury issues in my future but would without a doubt recommend him to anyone who might be in need.

Joe is more than a lawyer, he's a compassionate lawyer. The insurance company denied liability for my accident. I was released by another attorney and hired Joe. He fought the insurance company and sued on my behalf. After filing suit, Joe revealed that the defendant had contradicting stories about how the accident occurred. After this revelation, Joe got me more than I ever expected for my accident.

I have used Will Sutton twice. The first time my wife was T boned and injured. The insurance company tried to get my wife to settle for $1000.00 by telling her this is what most people do. Short story Will step in and made it easy to get the medical help and totaled car taken care of stress free. He was true to his word and showed great integrity. The 2nd time i used him a neighbors dog got out and attacked my cat in my yard. I ask him to pay which he did and then went on a review site and wrote a negative review about the company I own. Ive never used him or talked to this neighbor before the incident. Will wrote a letter to this individual and was successful in the removal of the Bad review.

I was referred to Will during the messy aftermath of my car accident. I knew that I had been hit and that it was in no way my fault, but I did not understand the legal implications of my situation. From that point on, Will employed what would become his characteristic demeanor throughout our professional relationship: alerting me to all potential options I had, and advising me on the likely outcome of each potential scenario. Will always responded thoroughly and honestly to all my questions, guiding me step by step through the process. The ultimate outcome was more money in my pocket than I ever thought possible. I have since recommended him to anyone I have encountered who might need legal assistance, as his knowledge and expertise, combined with his humble demeanor, provided me with the peace of mind that my situation would be handled optimally.

I recently needed a lawyer for a real estate matter. I was referred to Walter by a Real Estate agent I trusted. I am glad she did. While a lot of firms would have looked at my case and said “You were wronged, but there isn’t enough money in this for us.” Walter, even though he is a high-powered attorney, looked at it as “You were wronged and that upsets me, let’s do something about it.” He cut through all the common hour building legal processes and got to the heart of the matter quickly and efficiently. We asked that he work towards a quick resolve so that we did not have to relive our problem for an extended period. He understood and got us a quick and satisfactory resolution. During this time, I came to really like Walter as a person. He is a good man with strong ethics. If I need a lawyer again for any reason, I will call Walter first.

Our trucking company hired Walter and his firm to defend against a non-compete claim. Walter took a single deposition, filed a summary judgment motion and the other side ended up paying our attorney’s fees. On other occasions, he successfully defended against wage and hour claims. On still other occasions, we were able to resolve matters without litigation. I’m impressed by his ability to cut through the legal nonsense and get results that makes sense. Walter is comfortable in a board room or a job trailer. Walter and his firm are the only attorneys we call when litigation rears its head.

“I was a partner in an energy business. When I left, the partnership was supposed to pay me the fair value of my interest. Instead, the remaining partner wanted to pay about 10% of that value. We had to file a lawsuit, but within a few months, Walter got the case settled at a value that made sense and significantly more than my ex-partner proposed. Walter took the time to learn the facts. He knew the law cold, particularly with respect to how courts interpret contracts. I highly recommend Walter and his Firm.”

I left a message on a Friday afternoon and received a call back ON THE WEEKEND, on Sunday afternoon, and had an appointment Monday morning. As my case has some difficult aspects, frankly, I expected him to reject the case. Instead, we discussed the problems, none of which seemed to phase him, and he told me he would give it his best shot. I found Attorney Ward to be warm, friendly, understanding, compassionate, and straight-forward. I recommend him without hesitation!

Most folks would probably prefer to settle their case outside of court, but sometimes you can't get the other side to agree to a reasonable compromise. That is what happened in my case, so we went to a jury trial. Hunter did his research and was extremely well prepared for the case. Even though we were trying the case in a venue that favored our opponent, Hunter's people skills and judgement were on full display in every aspect of the case.

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.
