Absolutely supported me from start to finish. from the first call to settling up invoices, I was never confused or left without the information I needed.
Divorce and the legal system are scary as hell to those of us with no clue. Having his wealth of information and experience gave me confidence that there was going to be an ending to this rough chapter in my life.
Give him a call and he will get back to you if he doesn't answer immediately. I'm glad I did.

This guy doesn't care about the case, rather only about the money. Communication with him is limited at best, and he hides behind emails. You'd do a lot better finding someone who will actually learn about your case.

I contacted Mr. Galm about a car accident. He called me back to sort out if we really needed his services and spoke with me by telephone for 20 mnutes. He explained the way the laws would work in our situation and what he would expect to happen. In a situation which had caused a great deal of anxiety for our family, he was able to ease our minds in minutes. We ended up concluding we would not need his help with this situation, but if I ever need a lawyer again for this kind of problem, he will be the one we contact!

Paul went above and beyond for us after my husband was injured in an accident. He was thorough, attentive to all aspects of the case, and kept us informed of all of our options. He brought in experts and carefully examined who was responsible for the accident. What I really appreciated was when other lawyers would have given up, Paul continued to fight for us. We would seek Paul's counsel again if we needed legal representation.

This was my first time bringing suit to an insurance company. Linda walked me through the process, let me know what I could expect as well as helped me weigh the options. I hope to not need her services again, but would not hesitate to reach out for her assistance in the future. She made this ordeal as painless as possible.

Linda was extremely pleasant to work with. We sought her out for a diminished value claim that the insurance company refused to pay on one of our vehicles. She was thorough, professional, organized throughout, and obviously knows her game.
She worked hard, managed the case well, and got us a bigger settlement than we had expected. I would not hesitate to recommend or hire her again for any automotive or injury case.

Linda Weimar did an excellent job representing my best interest. I’m a paralegal and have worked with immigration attorneys for 23 years. The firm I work for takes pride in providing quality legal services. Picking the right attorney can be a daunting task, especially for those not accustomed to dealing with the law. Two years ago, I hired Linda Weimar to handle an unrelated case for me and I am quite satisfied with the results I have achieved. I really felt at ease and I knew that my case was in good hands. I would surely recommend Linda Weimar to anyone seeking a professional attorney. She is experienced and dedicated to her practice.

I met David through a mutual attorney/friend. I was in the middle of rehabbing a house to "flip" with a partner and his wife who were not working well as a partner. David took a look at our agreement and our private investors involvement. After taking time to get everyone on the "same page" we were able to close the deal and still make money. Alot more went into what he did than I can explain here, but the bottom line is that I know that I should have had David involved since day one.

Mr. Grandy handled a large credit dispute I was involved in, and helped me reach a fair settlement with a company I was having difficulty communicating with. He took a great deal of time explaining all my options to me. I have also used his services when I am in need of legal advice for issues that are related to my business and employees. He is the only personal injury lawyer I refer friends to. Everyone I have referred has commented how much they enjoyed working with him, even though they were dealing with difficult circumstances. As his client I always know I have someone who is willing to fight for an outcome in my favor. He goes above and beyond what I have ever experienced in the past, with other lawyers I have hired. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking outstanding legal counsel.

If you are looking for a defense attorney, STOP LOOKING!!! CONGRATULATIONS, your arduous search is over! Let me start with the bottom line first. Ryan's legal counsel is spot on, and his years of experience are obvious in his expert quality of work. He and his team are kind, honest, transparent, hardworking, respectful, timely, family oriented, have fair prices for outstanding work, non-judgmental, and (the best part besides being an overall good guy) is that Ryan, and his team will go ABOVE AND BEYOND to fight for you in and out of court. His win record in Washington County speaks for itself for a reason. His paralegal, April, is nothing short of amazing and is a model of the highest standard for her profession. I cannot convey enough praise about Ryan and his team. Here's why. Literally, overnight my entire life was uprooted, turned upside down, lit ablaze and left for ruin in what is and will be the worst and scariest time of my life. Ryan Corbridge and his team became my brother in arms in my darkest hours of need and helped me get out of multiple dire situations. I was facing multiple charges brought on by false allegations from my ex-wife in a nasty divorce that placed everything in my life in jeopardy, including the ability to see my three young children. During this time I was forced out of my home, lost my job, and was crippled while recovering from a serious injury. When I first went to Ryan and his wife Sarah, he gave me a free consultation, heard my story with an unbiased open-mind, were professional and kind, told me what my options were, how he would advocate for me and what to expect from the process. Let me you, he DELIVERED on everything! Over a years span, Ryan, not only on a single occasion, but multiple occasions, helped get me released from detainment, fought fiercely in and out of court so I could see my children, got my ex-wife impeached on several different occasions for perjury, got an RO dropped, and got me FULLY ACQUITTED from two criminal charges and a contempt of court that had the potential to set me up for personal and professional hardship. This includes responding to outside of business hours emergency calls/situations.
PREP: April is hands down the best at her job coordinating and compiling your evidence and engaging with the court to support your case. This includes paying attention to highly detailed situations and circumstances that required diligent focus and hard work to maintain accuracy. Ryan will efficiently and clearly review with you all your options, create the needed motions to defend your case, and will prepare you for trial and testifying if needed. This is immensely helpful for not only you and your comfort, but to give you the best outcomes in high stress court situations. Trust me, most lawyers do not take this extra important step and leave you to fend for yourself.
IN COURT: Ryan acts as the glue with a punch between where preparation and opportunity meet to get you successful outcomes in court. With creativity, expert tact and delivery, he becomes a fierce articulate storytelling bulldog to advocate for you; playing the "in-between the lines" game of intra-court dynamics for each the judge, prosecutor, and cross-examines witnesses like Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men. He takes all situations, with either jury or bench trials, into account, prepares accordingly, and fights for what he thinks is honorable and right. His prices are fair, upfront, flexible on payment collections, and comes without hidden nickel and diming. He and his wife understand that you come to them seeking help in highly stressful situations in your life and do NOT try to monetarily exploit you in the process while you're at your most vulnerable like most other lawyers do. I cannot tell you how comforting, and worth every penny, his representation and his team's support has been. With emphatic praise, I highly recommend Ryan and his team to my family, friends and anyone needing legal representation.

Ryan fought with me to win a serious and complicated felony trial. This was an extremely stressful event for me and my family and he was able to guide us toward a successful outcome. I hope to never be in another similar situation, but would certainly contact him for help with any future legal issues and would highly recommend him and his team.

Hired this "attorney?" for a child custody case for my daughter. Extremely unprofessional in her demeanor and attire. She charges $275.00 an hour for her services and will charge you for every little thing! During her/our first hearing with the judge, she was unable to even present her case after a combative attitude and heated arguments with the judge. Judge decided case without even speaking to my daughter, or any of her witnesses because of this. We fired her and her final bill was trumped up to squeeze out every last dime from us...Final cost: $5500.+ just up to the FIRST hearing! BUYER BEWARE, it is our opinion that it is all about running up the bill with her!

When we came to Shelley, we were desperate. My husband had been dealing with having his daughter withheld from him at random, and constant abusive text messages from his daughter's mother. His daughter was not in the greatest situation, and the judge was believing all of the lies that were being told to her for years upon years. Enough was enough! We searched and searched, Shelley came to the rescue! She gave us hope, and reminded my husband that he IS a good father, and deserves his daughter on a consistent basis. She gave specific guidance on how to organize information and give it to her. She did not make any open ended promises. Shelley is very black and white. She keeps it real. She isn't going to sugar coat things for you, or fluff things up to make them what they aren't. If she needs something or has a concern she will bring it to the appropriate person's attention in a professional manner.
She helped make our family complete. She has been a great investment to our family, and gave us what we were not able to achieve on our own...our daughter. Not only was my husband granted more parenting time, but he was also granted sole custody. Now we can rest easy knowing that she is getting the BEST possible care and education, all thanks to Shelley Fuller! We love her!

Divorce is a scare thing I felt. But Shelly not only told me my rights as a wife but also made sure I understood them. My ex was not only violent but mentally and verbally aggressive. I was afraid. But Shelly reassured me that the law was there.... it gave me a great level of peace. She's amazing and I will always make sure people who need her know it!!!!

Baoqin has been working with me in the past 7 years, from my H1B until my green card approval. I had great experiences with her and was retreated with respect and patience. As an immigrant I always have many questions and concerns of my current situation and Baoqin always provided the most professional advice and responded very timely. I recommend you all to work with Baoqin if you need professional help with your immigration case. My experience told me that I made a great choice 7 years ago.

She's great if your case is easy, or if you're actually guilty, or if you want to sign a plea deal. Elvia got insanely rude with me once she realized I was not going to sign a plea deal because I didn't see it fit for the crime, so she requested a trial. During that time, I took it upon myself to request a different attorney and the judge granted it - which hardly ever happens, shows you how horrible she is. Long story short, my new attorney got my case dismissed. Please, don't go to her.

Elvia is a great lawyer. did what she said and said what she did. she got right in there and got the job done. not only kept me out of jail but reduced my criminal ticket to a driving violation, at half the cost of the original ticket. she is great at what she does. if you need a good lawyer one who will stand up for you and defend you- you want Elvia on your case and and on your side.

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.
