Charlene Wilson and her are staff very professional. I always feel welcome when going into her office. She really takes her time to explain anything you don’t understand.

07 Mar, 2024 by Sherri brown

If I could give a 10 star rating, I would have! I was recommended to Charlene Wilson by my sister (who advised me that she was the best) and I can truly say she was right on the money! I live in a different state; therefore, Charlene is not able to represent me; however, she took time out of her day to educate me and provide invaluable options & information that will surely equip me to ask the right questions and make the best decisions when looking to hire an attorney in my state. Charlene was genuine and caring and her personality is amazing! Made me want to move back to Maryland so that I could retain her services! -- No kidding. I could go on & on, but I will end with this. If you are looking to retain a lawyer in the MD area, you should 100% go visit Ms. Wilson & team!

A lawyer who doesn’t keep her words. I used to delivery for this lawyer. Said will tip when handed but not or maybe “lawfully” yes. The security needs to call to confirm to let me in and I ring the door when I arrived. There re sounds but she tends not come to avoid tipping. Considering the hard parking and hard entry, it kind of funny that a LAWYER doesn’t keep her words. All I can say is look out, my friends. She tends to use law to fight for her benefits from everything, maybe it’s from you, her clients, too. ------------------------------------------ First thank you for your time to reply instead of delete my review which actually surprise me and make me want to give you a better star score for you honesty until I saw what you state afterwards. Second Sorry about your pronoun, I didn't know it. I've changed them to show respect. Last, the security have to call you first to make sure you have delivery to let me in. So you knew the delivery guy's coming. I knocked/ringed on the door several times before I hit the complete button and then knocked/ringed your door again to see if I could have the chance to get the tip. I couldn't wait longer which I see you a lawyer should understand perfectly. Even though I'm just a delivery guy I can't wait you for more time than I could after all steps I've done. I understand you want to keep this review for purpose. But NOT BY SLANDER ME. And everyone, I know my comment won't change your mind, as from her comments, she seems to be a very excellent lawyer in the field she excels in. But I think I still have the right to leave a message, so that everyone can see a comment from another perspective. P.S. In the future, if you plan to tip other delivery workers, I hope(I simply hope that you would consider giving a tip. After all, not tipping isn't against the law, right?) you'll do so even if we can't deliver directly into your hands for some reason and have to leave the order at your door. Please understand that we're doing our best. It's quite challenging to get close to your office. More importantly, as a busy lawyer, you probably can't always be available to hear the knock and open the door for every delivery, right? :)

I am satisfied with the way my legal representative presented during the conference with CPS regarding my case of unsubstantiated child maltreatment, I am satisfied with how my divorce case is handled by the legal team, the only issue with this law firm is that it charges a lot of money even before the case goes to court so if i have any questions it will be about billing

I was in a car accident that left me with a fractured rib, a fractured knee and a torn PCL. Jeffrey was able to quickly get me the maximum settlement with no court or headache on my end. Very professional and very knowledgeable. Also very helpful. I would recommend him to anyone without a question.

13 Dec, 2022 by Michelle

I have used Jeff for all of my accident cases for the past 20+ years, with the exception of 1 and I regretted that. With Jeff working on your case, you will have no STRESS! From the point of contact with your situation, he is on the job. He made sure I had all means to be able to contact him and he keeps open communication. I didn’t have to call a bunch of times to find out the status or have to talk to everyone in the office before I talked to Jeff! I can go on and on about the exceptional service he has ALWAYS provided me but that would be too much. But I will say anything you need he will be sure to get it, once I contacted him and explained my situation he made sure I was seen at the therapy office as soon as they had an appointment for me. He stayed in contact about the insurance claim and made sure I was taking care of. I can not express how satisfied I am with his services. HANDS DOWN HE IS THE ONE TO GET YOU WHAT YOU NEED and if he can’t he will explain the process. This review does not give enough stars for his service!

Mr. Kuperman is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, professional, empathetic and very personable. He gave me invaluable information that assisted me tremendously in understanding my issue and how to move forward effectively. Highly recommend!

08 Jul, 2024 by John eid

I welcome this opportunity to convey by boundless and enthusiastic endorsement of Yosef Kuperman. I do so without reservation. This endorsement is not casually tendered. It is based on contacts with Yosef regarding an important legal matter. My impression was that he is profoundly knowledgeable, and he has added new insight to the discussions that I have had with him concerning the law. For the time I have known him, I have had ample opportunity to evaluate his motivation, ethics and his commitment to excellence. I have evaluated those qualities which I think predict success in the practice of law. Yosef displays exceptional analytical powers and reasoning ability. He has independence of thought reflecting creativity, imagination and originality. Yosef has excellent communication skills. He has persistence, self-discipline and resourcefulness. Of prime importance is this man’s mature judgement and ethical character. Yosef possesses the vigor, talent and the intellect in his practice of law. I find him outstanding, charismatic and unique. Yosef is extremely pleasant, impeccably courteous, yet self-assertive and eager to listen and exchange points of view in a calm, reasonable manner, without a hint of ostentatiousness. It is my judgement that this assessment is accurate and that anyone will benefit who retains this kind and considerate lawyer. To assist your evaluation of his qualities and talents, I have carefully, yet unsuccessfully sought to address Mr. Kuperman’s limitations. After carefully considering this matter, I have concluded that, in the context that I have known him, no limitations exist. I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this truly exceptional lawyer.

I’m so glad that I was referred to The Law Offices of Robinson & Associates. When I got into my car accident, I had no idea what to do. Being in an accident is stressful enough but Mel and her team were so informative and helped me every step of the way through this whole process. Words cannot express how appreciative I am of this wonderful group. Thank you so much for being there for my daughters and I!

I am being 100% honest when I say I talked to a few different firms and Lance Garner was the only person that truly made me feel comfortable. He started working on a few details for me before I ever made a payment (very rare for a criminal lawyer) and assured me that if my charges were never filed, I would get 100% of my money back (took over a month to file). He is a very real person, who I think genuinely cared about me. He was extremely professional, but made sure he was very personable throughout my experience. He showed up to court on time and ended up getting me the best result we could. He is a very thrifty thinker. He had a pretty good relationship with the states attorney assistant, which I do not believe my case would have went the way it did without that relationship. All in all, I would recommend Lance to anyone needing legal advice/help in the area. Thanks again Lance!

Kurt Nachman was an amazing attorney from start to finish. Perceivably the worst experience of my life, but Kurt’s level of experience, intelligence, and great working knowledge of the law and all the local judges was extremely reassuring and helpful. Kurt was responsive to my emails and texts and answered all my questions as they arose. Kurt appeared to genuinely care about me and the impact of the charge/potential consequences on my life. Beyond grateful for his representation.

I was recently represented by Kurt Nachtman on a criminal traffic issue. He had all three offenses thrown out and reduced my legal fees by a $1000.00. I am so greatful for his ability to get my case resolved.

08 Jul, 2024 by Ryan watson

simply the best. I was dealing with a mixture of civil and criminal matters. I had 3 hearings in 1 day. Kurt and Yuripzy had all 3 settled without issue. They listen, they care, and they are well prepared. The strategy they implemented had us in and out of court in no time. You are making a mistake if you do not call this law firm. Thank you guys for everything.

Phil truly knows the law and treated me and my friend like we were family. Phil's expertise helped my friend tremendously and worked wonders, so my friend would and did have a positive outcome. Phil, thank you so much for your incredible service, for you worked miracles. If anyone is in need of an attorney, I strongly recommend Phil Levin, for he has been practicing law for many years and knows what he is doing, he is top notch going above and beyond to help my friend.

I was totally in panic mode until, I came to google and typed in “law firm near Me” I honestly didn’t know what to click so I just went with my gut and here I chose The Law Office of Philip Corey Levin. I honestly didn’t think I would get an answer because it’s the weekend but when Attorney Philip Levin picked the phone up himself it Changed my whole day around.

I’m forever grateful for that phone call Attorney Philip. God Bless

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.

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.
