I could not be better represented, such an amazing group! I 1st became familiar with them a few years ago randomly when they were more than welcoming & helpful. I didn't need even to employ their services at that time just information/direction. Of course in this event I required representation & Lehmbecker Law was my choice! They were AMAZING! Of course the professionalism but additionally stress free for myself overall. The best settlement with ease & I was always their 1st concern even my personal well being. They were also always available & attentive. Sincerely a very pleased client.

Working with Mr. Tang was great experience. I got into car accident and was really stressed about it. My friend recommended Mr. Tang and I'm so glad I signed up with him! He explained everything really well and I was able to focus on my treatment. I really appreciated him for explaining things in an easy way for me to understand & being clear and transparent about the whole process. I would definitely recommend him to family & friends :) Thank you!

I am delighted to share my positive experience with Sam Tang, who served as my accident lawyer following a car collision nearly two years ago. Shortly after acquiring my new car, I found myself in a situation where someone rear-ended me. Initially, I attempted to navigate the complexities of dealing with the insurance company on my own. However, as the challenges escalated, a friend recommended Sam Tang, and that recommendation turned out to be a game-changer. From the moment I enlisted Sam's services, he assured me that I could focus solely on my medical treatment while he took charge of the interactions with the insurance companies. This assurance provided me with much-needed peace of mind during a challenging period. Over the course of approximately 10 months of treatment, Sam consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication. About a year later, I was pleased to see the positive results of Sam's efforts when he successfully secured a settlement with the insurance company on my behalf. His strategic approach, effective communication, and commitment to my case were truly commendable. Sam Tang not only relieved me of the stress associated with dealing with insurance matters but also delivered a favorable outcome. I am grateful for Sam's expertise, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and capable accident lawyer. If you find yourself facing similar circumstances, Sam Tang is the advocate you want by your side to navigate the legal complexities and secure the best possible resolution for your case.

By far the worst legal experience imaginable. If you are ever assigned them as a public defender do everything in your power to not have Mr. Lotskar or Deweirdt involved at any point and honestly I would ask for another law firm all together. These are the public defenders that are way to friendly with the prosecution and seem to advise clients in a way that benefits prosecution. They are extremely dense in terms of understanding what actual life is like for human beings outside of the court room after a decision has been made. They just want to process you and get you off of their books. By far the worst law firm I have ever worked with.

When it comes to med mal attorneys, Dave is as knowledgeable and trustworthy as they come. He is not afraid to take on challenging cases and has tons of trial experience. He prices is contingency fees fairly and he is helpful to younger personal injury plaintiff attorneys who want to learn the trade, as evidenced by the Forensics course he co-taught at Seattle U School of Law. The day he retires will be a very sad day, indeed.

I hired him for my no at fault rear ended accident case back in November 2018 and the day I signed a contract he told me I mostly will contact with paralegal but if I wanted to talk to him directly just call. However I only could contact paralegal for 4 months then after 4 months, I left him a message about insurance problem but he has been ignoring my call. When finally I got to talk to him, he literally just dropped a case. Thanks to his very shady move, I could find great lawyer who is with me every step of the way. If you don’t have large number of the case I wouldn’t recommend him.

Mr. Martin and his team were exemplary in helping me to resolve my pedestrian accident claim. Mr. Martin kept me informed through this process and efficiently resolved my claim.

If you care about your future in US, please don’t waist your time and resources with this company, and choose someone who is expert in immigration services. Sorry Roman - But too much careless professionalism from your side. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS.

If I could give negative stars, I would give the max. My dad had the worst experience!!! Everything that could go wrong, went wrong!!!! Never picks up the phone, never calls back, drags the case on for couple years and then tells you that it's past the time limit and she needs to close it. My dad asked for all the files so he can hire someone else, but she never sent them, he asked multiple times. She makes promises but no progress. I can go on and on with how horrible she is. So the only thing I would say is STAY AWAY!!!!! She never won no case and my dad was left with nothing and he was told that is was a easy case to win since the car accident was not his fault and that was proven.

Elena gave her undivided personal attention to me during our meeting, and also was very prompt and helpful on follow-ups after. Highly recommend Elena Tsiprin and E. Tsiprin Law Offices!

From allegedly going 19 over the limit, Yan saved my butt big time in Seattle and had my ticket handily dismissed. I hate that 520 speed trap. His emails were very thorough and instructions were clearly communicated. He's been doing this for years so when you take him on, you have to trust him that he's got your back: he's forthcoming with the details so it's not blind faith. Ultimately the results speak for themselves.

Yulia Khorun is a lawyer who promises a lot, but does not fulfill anything - she did not make a single promise based on the results. If I were without a lawyer, I would not have lost more than I lost with her "help". Often does not answer calls and emails. She gave me false information about the possibility of my virtual presence at the court. For 2 months of "cooperation" on the divorce proceedings, I did not report to the judge the facts and information that I gave her and asked to attach to the case. I changed my testimony in She allowed herself to speak to me, raising her voice and be rude. Deliberately delayed the process in order to earn more money, dissuading me from the terms of the peace agreement.For two and a half months of "our cooperation" she took 8600 dollars and did not work a single cent, I had to be left without a lawyer, realizing that they take a lot of money from me, but they only bring harm by their actions. Took a huge zero-score fee for me, highly discouraged!

I was in a difficult position with an attorney that was not representing me well and not willing to fight for my case. I met with Julia and she agreed to represent my case which gave me peace of mind. She represented me very well, always strived to achieve best outcome in my case. Julia is professional and competent attorney, knows exactly what she is doing, and is passionate about the work she does. Ms. Khorun is very time efficient when it comes to dealing with workload of documentation and get prepared for court. Additionally, Julia clearly explains the process step by step and provides necessary guidance for her clients, so everything seems as 123. I found her smart, honest, well educated, and well informed. Julia was on top of any situation and responded promptly to my e-mails and phone calls personally. I am highly recommend Julia to anyone in need of a family law expert.

This attorney contacted me today through her paralegal on behalf of my condo association. This attoney’s position is that it is fine for the COA to fine me for having beautiful, well maintained flower pots outside my condo without following due process. This attorney also advocated that all the the COA’s violations are excusable and that I should actually step up to the plate and perform the maintenance for them unless I want my dues to go up with all my neighbors’ The communication between this attorney and her client were so poor that I had to provide it to them, more than once due to their confusion. I don’t think an ethical attorney should be giving their clients a free pass on abiding by contracts while supporting fining homeowners for things that would never pass a reasonable person standard in the court.

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:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. 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.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
