I am writing this review to express my gratitude to Mr. McKnight and Sonja. His firm did its absolute best in my case. Their professionalism and understanding are unmatched. Mr. McKnight treated me with great care and was knowledgeable. When I had concerns and did not understand, he explained legal matters so the average person could understand. His work on my case is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend him to you! He will definitely go the extra mile for you as he did for me.

When I first approached Tim Osborn with my situation surrounding a settlement, I was overwhelmed.

He is a dedicated attorney and a genuine person.

Cleve is very personable, makes you feel extremely comfortable and he will invest time and money into you. He is honest and won't sugarcoat anything. I have already told everyone about him and I would recremend him a million times to anyone. I wouldn't use anyone but this team. They all work hard and communicate extremely well. Don't use anyone else!!

In his 15+ years working alongside my business, Cleve McKnight has continuously proven his skill as an attorney. He has been indispensable in every aspect, from helping us in labor board cases to reviewing our business contracts and agreements. Not only that, but he is very respectful, highly professional and incredibly organized — all characteristics I look for in my legal team.
It’s lawyers like Cleve McKnight that help owning and running a business a bit less stressful. He works hard to ensure that our business is protected, and he’s been a great confidant for my legal affairs. I’d recommend him to any business owner who is looking for a true advocate.

I have been a client of Mr. McKnight on more than one occasion. He helped my family and I navigate some rough waters. His knowledge of Personal Injury and our legal community is remarkable. If you are looking for an attorney who will communicate with his client and be a relentless advocate, then I strongly recommend Mr. McKnight.

Joe was incredibly helpful during a stressful time. He broke things down in a way I could easily understand and told me what he would do in my situation, which I really appreciated. He's quick and great at what he does. I wouldn't hesitate working with him again if needed.

The funny thing is that I found Joe through Avvo, so it's only fitting that I come full circle to write Joe a review here. I was hesitant when I first contacted Joe, but he made a very good impression on me from the very beginning. My initial thoughts were that he was very responsive and timely to my inquiries. He happened to be on vacation when I first contacted him, but he was very professional and still made time for a brief consultation. As I continued to work with Joe, I found him to be very friendly, straightforward and trustworthy. Integrity and timeliness are very important qualities for me when I work with any professional and you'll be surprised how many professionals don't have these qualities. Lastly, Joe does his homework. He gave me good sound advice and everything worked out as he predicted. I would recommend my family and friends to him which means you should too.

I sought legal advise from another law office but was basically turned away. When I consulted with Matthew Faulkner I felt like I was treated as a extended family member in need. Matthew went above and beyond to help me with my legal matter. You couldn't ask for better representation. I highly recommend Faulkner & Faulkner Law Offices.

A friend of mine referred me to Mr. Faulkner as she once needed a lawyer she could trust and only had great things to say about him. I met with Mr. Faulkner and instantly connected with him. He understood that it was a very stressful time for me as I was trying to recover from my car accident. He ensured me that he would handle all the legal aspects of my case so I could focus on my health. Through the entire process, Mr. Faulkner kept me informed about the details of my case, included me in decisions and shared with me his suggestions based on my best interest. His goal was my goal! He was very knowledgeable and was a man of action. I was not only extremely pleased with the outcome of the case; I also found Mr. Faulkner to be an honest lawyer who believed in me, my case, and his own ability to obtain justice. I would highly recommend!

It's rare to find a professional that has the amazing ability to get results, respond to need and concerns and do so in a kind and compassionate way. Mr. Faulkner has this ability to balance people skills with a vast knowledge and experience of law to not only achieve clients goals, but also do so in a way that takes into consideration the emotional roller coaster that legal issues take us on. I recommend him wholeheartedly for any legal needs anyone has had. He and his offices have been profoundly helpful to me and my family.

Matthew Faulkner represented me in a personal injury law suit. Matthew and Jim put in months of hard work preparing for my trial. They were hard working attorneys who researched every detail. They are always personable and professional. Jim and Matt took the time to answer all of my questions and explained the legal process. I highly recommend Matthew and Jim Faulkner to my family and closest friends and would use them again.

Jim and his firm took us as clients at the eleventh hour of our case. We wil never forget what he has done for us. We met Jim the day before the filing deadline and not knowing us from Adam took our case and never looked back. He did everything we asked of him and never tried to talk us out of court. We got our day in court due to his neverending faith in us. He, his wife and son are now and forever will be part of our family. His experience and litigation skills brought our case to a successful conclusion. His son Matthew exhibits the same integrity, honesty and compassion that is patently obvious in his father, Jim. Thank you so very much.

Julia Vlahos started as my attorney but ended as my friend. I truly am at a loss to explain all the support, concern and advice she gave me, over more than two years. We cannot control how slow this process goes, but I would want to share this with her every time regardless. There were times, where I was upset, or angry or frustrated and she always consoled or prepared me for the next step with measured advice, but intuitive advice; she anticipated how I would feel. She helped reveal the truth about my case, which meant more than anything else n this process. She always heard me, but she also allowed the jury to hear me as well.

Ms. Vlahos was on top of my case and was very personable and responsive. I highly recommend her as an attorney.

Seth O’Dell was recommended to me by my primary criminal attorney. I was falsely accused of a crime. Mr. O’Dell and my primary criminal attorney worked to get the criminal charge dismissed. A month later, the accuser and a state agency went after one of my professional licenses. Mr. O’Dell led a team of lawyers who defended my license. He won the administrative hearing and my license was reinstated without restriction. Mr. O’Dell proved himself to be a hard working and resourceful lawyer. He was also a very personable and supportive friend as I went through the legal machine. I would recommend Mr. O’Dell and his team to any person needing legal representation.

The amount of compassion and dedication. This team showed my family when My Cousin had a horrible accident Was unparallel. It was evident from the first meeting to the last meeting that we were more than just numbers to them Rodriguez and his team specifically Blaine consistently called and asked about us and walked us through every step of the way. I cannot recommend this firm enough. This is hands-down the best firm and lawyers I have ever interacted with in my life. And as a business owner, I have interacted with a lot of lawyers. If you need a lawyer, there is no better lawyer to handle your case than this firm. They will treat you like a human being and listen to your complaints and do everything in their power to ensure you get the best outcome possible.

Words cannot express my gratitude for Atty Leonard Welsh! He helped me through a very difficult time. My business failed and I was on the hook personally for the failure.
I consulted with 3 different BK attorneys before I found Attorney Leonard. Immediately upon entering his office, I knew I found my Attorney. His whiteboard full of information of the process showed me his love of educating and organization. His warmth and knowledge of the law immediately put me at ease. He listened to my entire situation. He did not judge or make me feel ashamed. He took both my Corporate & Personal BK case and the rest was history. His office handled everything. He was quick to respond to all of my questions and fears. He put me at ease and saved me countless sleepless nights. I knew I was in good hands. Now that the entire process is complete, according to plan, I can open a new life chapter.
Thank you Atty Leonard for the peace of mind and acceptance you provided. You are not only my Atty but now a trusted friend.
If you are looking for an Attorney who is competent and kind look no further. Atty Welsh should be your first and only call!

I unfortunately had a bad situation during my time in California and got into some legal trouble and found the Campbell Whitten Law Firm. The staff was amazing and very helpful and always provided answers to my questions. Clayton Campbell was amazing beyond words! He was able to help me with my case and always kept me informed. My only complaint is that I was never able to meet Clayton face to face to thank him personally for the amazing job that he did. I highly recommend this five star Law firm for any DUI or criminal related issues. Trust me when I say that you won’t regret hiring this law firm.

This isn’t my first time coming to Campbell Whitten’s office unfortunately. However, the staff is phenomenal and polite for starters. I’ve had Sam VanEerden help me on my family law process and had done WONDERFUL. Had Clayton Campbell as my Criminal Defense and his expertise had been SUPERB. For someone who STRESSED the tragic and unfortunate events of my life. He truly took a weight off from them while I was able to focus on my own personal life. I had plenty of questions and he has had answers. There’s no better place I’d ever come to as I’d had not just one but two phenomenal experiences at this Law Office. Thank you guys tremendously and fingers crossed I am not here a third time !! Aghhhhh >.<

I hired Rodger, and his assistant P.I. paralegal,Victor Vivia. From inside jail. After reading their book, The CA. Criminal handbook. Explaining what to do,& what not to do during an arrest. Roger, and Victor really stood up for me in court. And with their,hard nosed, negotiation skills, kept me from going to prison. When everybody else failed,they really came through for me.Id recommend Rodger to anyone, under any circumstance. I think I got to know Victor at a personal level after knowing him for some years now. I think it's because, we would both like to consider ourselves,"practicing"magicians. Exchanging each other's secrets. Let's face it, if you can't trust to your lawyer,who can you trust? Again always, thank you for your help; Roger lampkin, & Victor Vivia.

I hired one of their attorneys by the name Roger Chien and I absolutely regret not taking my case else where. This guy did not care about anything I said and made it clear he did not review the audio tapes recorded by the officers body cam more than once for he had no clue I had been robbed at gun point, first day of jury trial I am repeating the story to him and he goes, “wait he had a gun?”…. Bruuhhh… he made it clear he did not have time for my case, showed up late every court date, insisted i took a deal even after I told him clearly if they did not drop all charges I was more than ready and willing to go to trial, literally the public defender was more involved in my case than this 20 thousand dollar attorney. He made extremely inappropriate and unprofessional jokes about big Mexican wieners after he saw my bmw key after asking me if I knew what bmw stood for like WHAT TF…(I’m Mexican) All charges were dropped and I thank myself for knowing and believing I was wrongfully arrested and for NOT listening to this negligent lawyer who tried to convince me along with the DA to take a deal and avoid trial.

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.
