I highly recommend ILawyerup, if you’ve recently had any accidents, slip & falls or any other legal matters, this is indeed the place to go. Daniel Wagner is a heck of a guy very informative and will guide you and point you in the right directions with whatever you’re legal matter maybe. And Attorney Guy K. Noa is a great attorney, he’s super responsive and goes above and beyond to get you compensated and keeps you involved and aware every step of the way. On and off the clock they are there to represent you and make sure you’re taken care of. Best Law Firm in the area hands down.

After our father suffered a severe stroke, his life changed dramatically. Paying for his newly-needed care was a big challenge. My brother and I started looking into acquiring Medicaid benefits, which was an incredibly difficult task. We soon realized that we needed an attorney that specializes in elder care to help us with this process. There are hundreds of elder care attorneys in the greater Miami area. We searched for reviews of different firms, but noticed that most of the recommendations were coming from other lawyers and colleagues. We wanted real-world recommendations from actual families, with stories similar to ours. We called Assisted Living facilities in the area and spoke to their managers. Several of them recommended Jason Neufeld with the firm Elder Needs Law. We decided to work with Jason and his staff. Jason and his staff are extremely efficient. They are very knowledgeable, caring, and responsive. They have answered all of our questions, (special thanks to Tracy Meli) and guided us through this process. Choosing Elder Needs Law was definitely a good decision for us. The Medicaid application process is very complicated, confusing and time-consuming. We could have NEVER navigated through these many processes by ourselves. Our mother has since declined medically, and now both our parents have been approved by Medicaid, thanks to Elder Needs Law. Our anxiety about how we can afford their care is gone and we can sleep at night. We highly recommend Elder Needs Law.

Jason Neufeld, Carolyn, Jodi, Tracy and the entire staff at Elderneeds Law are all amazing experts. They were so helpful and knowledgeable as they guided us along the process of establishing a will, power of attorney, a trust and the Medicaid application, which was approved almost immediately. We cannot recommend them enough. They are the business to contact if you are thinking of setting up any of these services. You will not regret it!

Alexander was right on point and focused on every detail of my case from the initial consultation until conclusion of the case, and I was able to recover my investment (which I thought I might have lost) within short time of hiring Mr. Irlin to represent me and all of my expectations were exceeded by Mr. Irlin's professionalism, legal expertise and personal attention to any and all of my questions or concerns.

Mr. Irlin is one of the top Florida legal experts in the area of business and real estate law and has handled several legal matters related to my company. Not only I would trust and rely on Alexander's expertise to handle any legal matter for me, but I have also never met another lawyer, that would give each client the highest level of undivided personal attention and would respond to any and all questions or inquiries coming from his clients right away, no matter how slight or insignificant client's question might seem. I recommend Mr. Irlin to anyone who is looking for a top legal expert with enormous amount of legal experience, but also wants to hire an attorney who genuinely cares for his clients and who always addresses each and every legal need of his client.

If you are reading this is probably because your life has been turn upside down just like mine and my family’s. We were fortunate enough to come across to Mr Lurvey’s name in such a difficult time. From day one he was very professional and honest. He is very, very did I say very knowledgable about the court system and the laws and he knows how to work with them. If I had a horrible experience like this again I would not doubt one moment to hire Daniel A. Lurvey. He is by far the best lawyer you can get in difficult times.

I hired David Kleinberg to represent my then minor daughter in a personal injury case involving a sustained brain injury. Words alone really can't portray my feelings about David. He was and is an amazing attorney and person. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and had our best interest at the forefront at ALL times. He is honest and very passionate, something I'm not sure is very common among attorneys. I would recommend him to anyone beyond a shadow of a doubt. If winning a case is a possibility---David is the one that can make it happen. I will be eternally grateful for what David has done for our family.

When I was looking for an attorney who would represent my husband in a medical malpractice case, David Kleinberg was the only attorney who wasn't looking for a quick and easy case to settle out of court. His attention to detail and his determination to prove the responsibility of long term care belong to the ones who had caused the medical malpractice proved outstanding. Without David, my husband's future medical care would have caused our family a devastating hardship.

Being one of many unfortunate people in the world unwittingly entered into the dismal world of litigation, I can tell you it is near the top of the most ugly experiences one can ever have. I never imagined that in addition to the trauma of dealing with the ugliness that life serves, that one could ever have the added grief of an already tragic situation compounded by hiring a lawyer who doesn’t have your best interests at heart and who fails to do what you’ve paid them vast amounts of money to do. Those of us who have experienced this horror are left wondering if justice even exists anymore. David Templer’s compassion, coupled with his brilliant knowledge of the law has given me hope in the midst of a very bleak and seemingly hopeless situation. This is an attorney that you can rest assured will take care of your legal needs and your only adversary will be the opponents in your case. I can tell you from unfortunate experience, you don’t get that with many attorneys. Mr. Templer pointed out to me in one sentence, in the clearest, simplest, and most concise language a strategy that several other attorneys I consulted with failed to inform me, though it should have been obvious. Mr. Templer was the light at the end of my long, dark tunnel, and I recommend him with 100%confidence!

I have met with several attorneys in my search for a lawyer that will uphold my interests first, and without any margin for doubt Karen has done so. She's extremely bright, and explains everything in a way that is simple to understand for everyone involved. I simply cannot recommend her enough. If you're looking for a great attorney, that is thorough in her work, and will move your case forward in an efficient manner, I would recommend Ms. Mooneeram, and her firm Mooneeram & Serres P.A., to everyone. When you retain them, they will undoubtedly help you while making sure that the nerves and the stress associated to any kind of legal dispute is simply gone.

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.
