Peyton & Denise took care of absolutely everything after my accident. From car rental to medical specialists, they took what was a very stressful time for me, & made it to where I had next to nothing to worry about. They kept me fully informed throughout the process, which led to a very positive outcome. I would highly recommend Murphy Law Firm to anybody.

I was very pleased with the service I received at Murphy’s Law Firm. Brian McCullough worked my case and I felt he went above and beyond to provide the best outcome for my situation. Mrs. Betty would call and provide great insight as to how the process works and was very informative about the updates pertaining to my case. Both Betty and Brian were quick to respond to any questions I had along the way and explained everything in great detail. All of your hard work and professionalism has been greatly appreciated throughout this whole process. Thank you!

When I hired Franz, I was so emotional, stressed and just didn't know what to do. After speaking with him, I felt a sense of relief, he was always available and always got answers for me. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything to your understanding. Always answered the phone when called and if he didn't, he would text you to explain why he's unavailable and would always return your call as soon as he was available. If you need an excellent attorney, he's your man!!!!!!

Being frank, Franz kept my behind from being in a lot of trouble in a very rough situation I was in. He always picked up the phone, texted back promptly, and reassured me when I thought things were hopeless. He isn't afraid to go to bat for you no matter what situation you're in. Hire this man!

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the fantastic support that attorney Courtney Kretzsinger and her legal assistant Chelsea Graham provided during my case.
Working with you all under these unfortunate circumstances due to my car accident was an absolute pleasure. Yourprofessionalism and attention to detail made a significant difference, and I always felt confident knowing you all were on top of everything. You explained every step clearly, which really helped in understanding the processes involved.
I genuinely appreciate all the hard work you and the Gordon team put into my case, and I will highly recommend your services to anyone in need.
Thank you once again for your outstanding assistance!

Full Disclosure, here. I am Greg's former law partner from more than 20 years ago, BUT I am also a client and have referred well over 100 folks to Greg over the years. Every referral has been absolutely delighted with Greg and his team of knowledgeable and professional attorneys.
In my case, I figured I could handle it myself only to discover I had a fool for a client. I called Greg and he and his team expertly guided me through a complex legal matter, always keeping me informed and reassured. Their dedication and hard work resulted in a most favorable outcome. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal counsel.

Literally the Best Law firm in Town!!! They treated me so well! From my first consultation with Troy when I explained to him my situation and he told me “we can make that all go away” I was like ain’t no way, this is just too good to be true! Lol Felt like I had won the lottery and walked out of that office crying happy tears! To then getting all of my paperwork together with Katherine and the payment process, under my circumstances and financial situation, they were extremely patient with me! To one who always put the bow on top, the front desk receptionist, Beyonca! She’s always so brought joy to my day even when I wassnt having a good day. I’d call the office to check on things and just hearing her voice always made my day better. This is a Really Really Great Team! Only a 3 month process and they Definitely had my back all the way Through! I did Not know that I could get a fresh start just like that! People who I told on the outside doubted so bad that this kind of help was even valid that I started to doubt it myself. But Grand did their job with professionalism and here I am today, Debt Free!! Thanks again to the GRAND Team for handling my case so well and taking the time out to be patient and explain things to me. Praying that I go forth in making better, more wise decisions in my life now that I can put all of this behind me. 10/10 Recommend!! If y’all need them, Definitely give them a call!!!

Brandt is definitely one of the best lawyers there is! He’s so professional, very knowledgeable, transparent, & truly caring! He goes above & beyond for his clients. He took great care of myself & my kids. If I had to choose another attorney, it would most definitely be Schmolke Law Firm without a DOUBT! Brandt truly cares about his clients & their well-being. & I want to say thanks again for everything he’s did for my family, even the birthday cards in the mail. My family & I are forgetful grateful for Brandt. If you’re looking for a great attorney, don’t look any further! He’s definitely the man with the plan!

Highly recommend lawyer. Brandt was recommended to me by a family member of mine. I was involved in a car accident and unfortunately I had no insurance for my vehicle, so because of that the other party who crashed into my car insurance company did not have to cover the damage or medical expenses. It’s called (PAY TO PLAY).
I believed that it was nothing I could do about it and I was just going to have to take the loss but Brandt assured me that he will handle it and for sure he did. Not only did he help with and got a settlement for the case, me believing that nothing would be able to be do about I was a good bit difficult to get in contact with and slow with responding to him but he was patient, respectful, nice consistent, considerate, everything you would picture a great lawyer to be. He was recommended to me, I would recommend him to you and I know for sure once you begin to do business with him, you’ll be recommending him to.

Kenny Hooks helped me when no one else would even talk to me. He told me its not going to be an over night matter just be patient, so I sat still and I trusted him. Kenny and his firm was there for me as more than just my attorney, they treated me like family. They did a lot of leg work, and got the job done right. They were firm and they were not backing down. They fought for me. When I am in need of an attorney Kenny Hooks is who I am going to call. Thank you Kenny and your entire firm and staff for winning my case and for helping me and my family.

Mr. Hooks spent many hours discussing every aspect of my very difficult case. He is very insightful, sincere and compassionate. He communicated his opinions, (positives and negatives) so that I was able to make appropriate decisions going forth. I have many friends who are attorneys (several in my family), they all recommended him for my particular situation with a contract. As a professional myself, I could not be more pleased with his representation and professionalism. He paid attention to every minute detail and was able to display the deception and coercion of the other party and their attorney during the hearings. I am pleased to "highly recommend" him and his team when asked for a referral.

Brad Cranmer provided outstanding representation throughout my divorce proceedings. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, he demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail ensured that every aspect of my case was thoroughly addressed, and his guidance was instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome. What truly set him apart, however, was his unwavering commitment to my well-being beyond the legal aspects of the case. His empathetic approach and willingness to listen to my concerns made me feel heard and supported every step of the way. The genuine care for his clients is a testament to his integrity and dedication to his profession. I wholeheartedly recommend Brad to anyone in need of legal representation, knowing that they will be in the most capable hands.

Before finding an attorney, I googled best injury attorneys in Baton Rouge. Attorney Phillip Robinson was the first to pop up. After reading his reviews I reached out to him about possibly representing me because I was involved in a motor vehicle accident. Attorney Robinson was very knowledgeable and well educated about the career path that he had chosen. I then knew he was the man for the job. Attorney Robinson fought his best fight for me! We walked away from this case with everything we deserved and that’s because he’s that good at his job. He is very attentive and great at keeping you informed with your case. He is very resourceful and I’ll only do business with him from now on. I refer everyone to trust him if you want to win.

After consulting with several attorneys; I chose to hire Mr. Knipe to defend me in my DWI case. He was very knowledgeable on all parts of the process. The time spand from my first consultation to the next meeting at my court date; was several months apart. After just one meeting he retained all the information necessary to defend me the best way possible. He kept me updated throughout the wait leading up to the court date. He came completely prepared on the day of court; he was ready for every angle of defense. The prosecutor added some last minute evidence into the case the morning of the court. He was able to analyze the new evidence quickly, and add it into our defense case. He was confident, and so went to trial in hopes to have all charges dropped. His questioning of the arresting officer, and ability to highlight important evidence was exceptional. He left no angle of defense untouched. He was able to win the case, and get the DWI dismissed. He also went above and beyond and was able to keep a speeding ticket off my driving record as well. His effort showed alot of passion for his work. Mr. Knipe was always prepared throughout the process. He was professional, honest, hardworking, and made the whole process easy on me. I'd absolutely recommend his services.

Mr. Manasseh was recommended to my wife and I. we needed representation for our son and we wanted the best. It wasn’t sales pitch or desperation that sold us on Mr. Manasseh, it was his credentials, his success as a law professional and the team behind him. On top of all the success is his communication of the law, not what I wanted to here, but the law. It didn’t take long, to know we made the right choice to hire Mr. Manasseh and Mr. Gill to represent our son. His whole future was in front of him, we needed nothing but the best and that was the law firm of Manasseh, Gill, Knipe, & Bélanger.

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.
