I can't thank Attorney Cooper and team enough for all their hard work and support. They really know their stuff and were there for me every step of the way. Super professional, but also really understanding and easy to talk to. They made the whole process a lot less stressful and had my back the entire time. If you need someone who’s both knowledgeable and genuinely cares, I highly recommend going with Attorney Cooper or Attorney Ramirez!

I highly recommend Ramirez & Cooper's team. Mr. Brotherton represented me with excellent results. They were able to accomplish things I never thought possible. With the Lord Jesus and this legal team on my side, I felt immense peace throughout such a dark time in my life. They were all very responsive and informative from start to finish and did everything they promised on their end. Not to mention, the fee was very reasonable and inclusive. Thank you, Ramirez & Cooper team, for all that you do in helping people in dark times. You all were a blessing to me and my family. God bless you all.

I wanted to know if there was a decent chance to win if my current lawyer appealed a ruling in a civil case. I am an engineer and have little knowledge of law. I found attorney Ken Masters using a ChatGPT search. Ken spent almost 1.5 hours on the phone with me. He carefully listened to some details of the case and talked me through the issues. He gave me lots, and lots of very helpful information. He is definitely a very knowledgeable attorney. He helped me reach a far more educated decision about how to proceed. Thank you attorney Ken Masters!!!!

Bill McGonagle, his associate, Colleen, and Wendy Shanahan did a fantastic job representing me for my injuries from a car accident. They helped me through each step of the insurance companies’ nightmarish labyrinths. Mr. McGonagle’s experience and attention to detail gave me confidence to trust his honest assessments and advice. The team made complex legal issues clear, and kept everything on a punctual timetable. I felt like they fully understood my circumstances and really cared. You couldn’t find a better team!

I am a Real Estate broker and have been fortunate to have had Adam Morrow review some of the challenging contracts that banks are now writing. With a lot of properties being short sales and bank owned property it is imperative to have an attorney review the paperwork. Banks are writing contracts
that are very one sided and Adam is very patient in explaining to potential buyers their risks, and often
has been fortunate to have changed some of the language on the contract to protect the buyer.
Along with Adam's integrity, thoroughness, and compassion, Adam has a great sense of humor and can often relieve some of the tension with his witty sense of humor.
If you have any challenging situations in Real Estate I would recommend highly in contacting Adam.
He will be able to give you some good advise.

Adam Morrow made my experience with the legal system stress-free . He was available to answer my layman's questions clearly and always responded in a timely fashion. Adam was very knowledgable about the medical implications of my injuries and was able to secure a fair settlement to compensate for my damages. I felt Adam was very efficient and organized in settling my case that involved two defendants.
I would refer Adam Morrow to anyone needing an excellent litigator.

I contacted Jane Morrow, and set up a meeting. Jane was prompt and very understanding. She conducted herself in a friendly and professional manner. I agreed to hire her on the spot. Jane represented me in what was a tortuous and extended legal process that was designed to make me give up and go away with nothing. Jane's constant encouragement and reassurance helped to get me through the process. We settled our case out of court in a very favorable manner due to Jane's awesome skills as a negotiator. I am grateful to Jane and her firm for their diligence and aggressive professionalism. I would recommend Jane's services to anyone!

After I was injured by a negligent doctor, I selected Ms. Morrow as my attorney because of her history as a competent lawyer and a Registered Nurse. It was wonderful to have an attorney who was knowledgeable in the medical aspects of my case; many of the attorneys I initially consulted with had to stop me to explain what certain terms meant, and that was incredibly frustrating for me. I never had this issue with Jane.
In addition to her medical knowledge, Ms. Morrow had an instinctual and intellectual understanding of what to do at every turn in my case. She was always supportive and explained the legal things I did not understand without ever making me feel stupid or burdensome. I really believe that Ms. Morrow cares about her clients' long-term well being. How many lawyers can you truly say care about their clients as people, and not just as case statistics? In my case, for example, Ms. Morrow supported me in pursuing action against the hospital and doctor who negligently assaulted me; other attorneys I consulted early on wanted me to settle for as much money as possible as early as possible, even if it meant not pursuing action against the hosptial. Jane really listened to me and understood that I wanted, more than anything, to spread the word and prevent this person from hurting anyone else. She never made me feel pressured to come to a rapid monetary conclusion to the detriment of my personal goals.
I cannot say enough about what a great attorney Jane Morrow and her cohorts are. If it is important to you that you connect with an attorney who listens to and supports a client through difficult times, who is knowledgeable about medicine in addition to law, and who is a generally good and caring person, you cannot go wrong with Jane Morrow. I am so greatful that I found her during the worst time in my life, and I cannot imagine what might have happened if I had been swayed to employ anyone else.

(1) there has been a severe lack of communication (not able to call or even leave voicemails since the voicemail box is full),
(2) pleadings were filed in an untimely manner,
(3) Idaho State law (which is irrelevant in WA State) was cited throughout a crucial pleading in this matter;
(4) lack of appearance in a CRUCIAL HEARING resulted in the court automatically granting the Defendant's Order to Dismiss with Prejudice because there was no case presented on behalf of the Plaintiff. Whether or not they would have won this case, it is abundantly clear that she and her firm FAILED to adequately represent the plaintiffs, even though they paid thousands of dollars to her...

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.
