Zero communication. It's been over a year since my accident, and I have been switched to 3 different lawyers. Each one talked to me for about 2 minutes, and I never heard from them again. I've called, emailed, and sent text messages and have received nothing. Do not waste your time here. If your case isn't worth millions, they do not care.

The injury case for my wife and I has just reached the two year mark. All we have asked for is communication. We fully understand these things can take years. Our first attorney was not one to communicate. We had to email or call for updates. We requested a new attorney, and after multiple requests, they finally agreed. With our new attorney, we again asked for communication. Call us every 30 days or so, even if it is to say there is no change. Unfortunately, we were put on a one-way street with this attorney as well. On 10/14/24, we sent an email since the two year mark for a lawsuit had to be filled on or before 10/21/24. On 10/16/24, we received an email from our attorneys assistant with the complaint filing to review before they submitted it. In our view, this seemed to be cutting it pretty close. What if we had not checked in and sent the reminder on 10/14/24 about the filing date? As a side note, I have been unable to work now due to the spinal injuries sustained in the accident. I emailed our attorney about assistance with filing for SSDI, and again, there was no answer. Called their 800 number and advised that we had an open injury case but needed help with SSDI. They turned us down as I am not 49 years old or older. Currently, I am 48 and turn 49 in March 2025, 5 months away. This long, drawn-out review comes down to one word, communication, and the lack of it.

Joe helped with the probate that my mother was named as personal representative. The process was fairly long and complicated and he was helpful and patient with us throughout. He also fought for her a couple of times when things got a little tough, once to get access to the safe deposit box where thewill was located. Every question we had was answered satisfactorily. We appreciate his time spent with us on this matter and wish him a long, successful career.

I could not have had a better experience having to have an estate probated. Joe provided names, numbers, addresses of everyone I needed to contact. He then contacted all others. I know I was a pest sometimes but Joe never showed any impatience with me. I will definitely be coming to Joe to write me a new will and would recommend him to all of my friends. Joe made an otherwise unbearable situation bearable!!!

If you have stumbled upon this review because you have received that letter from the Alabama Board of Nursing go ahead and stop here and submit your name and number for a consultation. If you have ever been exhausted and frustrated feeling like being a nurse could be a thankless existence, I’m sure it’s no comparison to the weight of receiving that letter. This was how I felt. I wanted to walk. I didn’t care to fight because I had already been defeated. I found Mr. Kreps on YouTube in the middle of the night while I was hopelessly scrolling for outcomes and judgements when nurses face the Board. It gets dark reading those stories. His story wasn’t. You learn his mother went back to school later in life to become a nurse and he has seen what we do for that license. Peggy called me a few hours later when they opened and immediately took action. I got step by step instructions and a general idea of what to expect. If I had questions or calls from the board, Peggy immediately responded and guided me on what to do. I don’t intend for this to sound gimmicky but if you think you can’t afford representation you can’t afford NOT to. You may think that the what you can offer them on a payment plan is laughable but I promise you that you’ll be surprised. We have all heard the horror stories and I was filled with debilitating dread knowing that the allegations on this grand scale was unlike any fight I’ve ever had to face. When it involves DEA and accusations of fraud you tend to replay this nightmare and your uncertain future over and over in your head. I got the call today that Mr. Kreps reached full settlement with the board and I do not have to appear or carry this another day of my life. STOP googling. STOP looking for statistics. STOP considering bargaining with the investigators that are calling. Get on the phone and under the guidance of this law office. They’re making such a difference in the nursing world. Thank you so much for everything your office done for me and facing the giants for us.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Attorneys Ashley Peinhardt and Leon Ashford for their exceptional legal services. Recently, they represented my family in a medical malpractice lawsuit, and thanks to their expertise and dedication, we won the case! From our very first meeting, Ashley and Leon demonstrated a deep understanding of medical law and were incredibly compassionate about our situation. They took the time to listen to our concerns, explained the entire legal process clearly, and kept us informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail and thorough preparation made us feel confident in their abilities. During the trial, Ashley and Leon's professionalism and poise were evident as they presented our case compellingly. They skillfully navigated complex medical issues, and their ability to communicate effectively with the jury played a significant role in our victory. It was clear that they had built a strong case rooted in extensive research and expert testimonies. Not only did Ashley and Leon achieve a favorable outcome for our family, but they also provided us with much-needed support during a challenging time. Their empathy and dedication went beyond just winning the case—they genuinely cared about our well-being and the impact of the situation on our lives. I highly recommend Attorneys Ashley Peinhardt and Leon Ashford to anyone seeking legal representation, especially in medical malpractice cases. Their commitment to their clients and their expertise in the field are truly remarkable. Thank you, Ashley, Leon and team for fighting for us and delivering justice!

Mr. Sears cared about my child’s need. Deafness with a child using listening and spoken language is a low-incidence disability that school systems are often unfamiliar with. He was willing to learn about the needs specific to my child and backed our family to ensure my child’s needs were met. Shane was able to reach a solution with our school system which provided my daughter with the necessary supports, including a listening and spoken language specialist, in her school. He knows special ed law and guided me through each step. I’m a well-versed parent who works in special education, as well, but Shane accomplished what I, our advocate, and numerous professionals couldn’t in making the school system realize the unique needs in LSL communication. Absolutely wonderful to work with… personable, but fierce when fighting for the rights of his clients.

I had been contacted by a debt collector so I was looking for "advice" online. Found John he was even giving tips to "do it yourselfers" who are trying to fix and problem & save money too. Then I got a letter from out of state - contacting me because they knew a suit had already been filed! I knew nothing about the case! I had typed out a form letter type response I'd found online. Before I sent it I thought I'd call John's office. The call was free & what could it hurt. SO glad I did. There was no pressure, no hype just letting me know my options and what John could do for me. The debt wasn't huge but big enough that I didn't want to mess it up doing it on my own. So I put John to work - absolutely nothing to lose. Got notification yesterday - WE WON! AND John's team is also already at work helping me with "other opportunities." I have to include that John has a LARGE staff - very VERY quick to respond, friendly and eager to answer my questions.

Mr Watts initially contacted me by letter. I read the letter and thought it was too good to be true. You just don't read letters like this one, really, hardly ever. The letter was placed on my desk and not ignored but thought it was too good to be true. A second letter came and I read it again but this time thought if this man is going to take the time to reach out to me twice, by letter, I owe it to him to place a call. From this point in the process forward it was simply, simple!! Next I was talking with two members of his team and before I knew it, matter was closed. The matter was involving a debt collector though regardless of your issue at hand you should give this man a call and see if he can help you. I will use him, again and again. He can be trusted. Thank you for reading.

Thanks to Dan Crane who took my case and got me a settlement that I thought I would never get and got me 10 times what I hope I would get. He is the most honest person I have ever meet. Some lawyers that I talked to talked down to me like I didn't anything to them but not Dan he is a regular guy and treats you like you were his friend not just a client. Being disabled and having an accident in my wheelchair he really helped me out. I would highly recommend them for any legal matter. He doesn't just take the easy cases like most lawyers do he takes the hard cases and wins them.

Finally after nearly four years of seeking justice on an appeal for a case in which I had no resolve after the efforts of four other attorneys, Attorney Borom was able to have the charges dismissed in a timely manner where as the others were not. Now I can move forward in my pursuit of civil recourse in matters stemming from the charges she handled. Thank you for your assistance and experience Borom Law Firm.

From the first initial consult call that led to a meeting with Derek, I felt like I had found an advocate for my case. I was dealing with another firm that brushed me off and didn't care about me (the client), and he was able to ease any concern to make the switch from them to him on that note as well as many other reasons. I, for the first time, had felt listened too, understood, and ready to move forward with complete confidence thanks to Derek!! He truly led me throughout my entire case with ease, professionalism, care, empathy, as well as always having a solution to what would be overwhelming obstacles at every turn to the normal person. He led my case to a successful outcome while providing such a detailed care for my overall wellbeing, and what I felt was right/fair as well. He definitely will be referred to all my friends and family, and anyone we connect with. Thank you, Derek, I truly cannot thank you for being the advocate that you are for your clients!!! I can guarantee, you will want Derek on your side! -A truly grateful and happy client

Rick is an outstanding attorney with extremely high morals and integrity who works passionately for everyone he represents. He has represented me for several years and I have recommended him to numerous clients and friends because I have tremendous confidence in the work that he will do and the results he will achieve, which have always been superb. Many qualities differentiate Rick from other attorneys, but one that most fascinates me is his keen ability to accurately predict what the opposing side is going to say or do and to readily anticipate and prepare for any and all options. He seems to always stay two steps ahead of his adversaries. Rick has an expansive knowledge of the law in many areas and specialties. His advice is always spot-on. I highly recommend Rick to handle any legal matter that arises.

Have been a client of Rick's for about 5 years. In my dealings with him, I have found that Rick is not only a very knowledgeable attorney, but has also been super-responsive to my needs. He has a broad background in legal matters & in business, and uses it to a full extent to help his clients. It seems that Rick never sleeps and is always looking for ways to save me money, whether it is in reducing or eliminating exposure in a claim or structuring a deal in such a way as to save income taxes wherever possible. Always thinking and attentive, Rick is very impressive in his handling of all legal matters. He is great to have on your side, and I wouldn't like to think of being on an opposing side! Nothing but good things to say about Rick and his firm - an outstanding attorney who does his job with great integrity and professionalism.

Not only is Mr. McKie extremely professional and skilled, but he is also a very caring and compassionate man who did everything possible to help me recover compensation in a shorter time and who took a personal interest in my case ever since the beginning. To say that Mr. McKie is a good asbestos litigation lawyer is an understatement. He is the best! If asbestos has taken away your health, you at least deserve financial compensation.

Kevin McKie and the ELG staff were incredibly helpful and eager to do all they could to recover the compensation I desperately needed to pay for my cancer treatment and surgery. The idea of taking legal action has always put me off and I tried to avoid it as best as I could, but eventually, I was left with no other option than to file a claim, as I couldn’t afford to pay for all the procedures. Attorney McKie has undoubtedly changed my negative perception of lawyers by providing excellent and prompt services, calmly answering all my questions and going to great lengths to speed up the process. He is also very compassionate and understood what I was going through emotionally. I was advised to file with more asbestos trust funds to recover a larger sum of money and sure enough, my claim was approved shortly after. Words cannot express how grateful I am for having had Kevin McKie take care of my case. He is a highly skilled, competent and caring lawyer and I’d recommend him to anyone who needs legal counseling.

Kevin McKie is without a doubt a true expert when it comes to environmental litigation. I was very hesitant to seek legal assistance at the beginning since I was aware how complex and demanding my case would be, but at my family’s repeated suggestion, I decided to do it. My case was indeed as complicated as I’d thought, but this didn’t stop Mr. McKie to invest all his energy into solving it. I can honestly say I’ve never met such a passionate and competent lawyer who was also very honest since the beginning about how long my case would take to reach a resolution. Receiving compensation is your right and I strongly encourage everyone whose health was destroyed by these toxic exposures to take action. Mr. McKie is definitely the go-to attorney and you will be pleasantly surprised with the results!

Gregory Cade is by far the most compassionate and driven attorney I’ve ever met. My mother was a textile mill worker in the ‘60s and was exposed to insane amounts of asbestos dust on a daily basis. She was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma earlier this year and we decided to take legal recourse. Mr. Cade was recommended to us by a family friend. We were instantly certain he was going to be able to help my mother and we were absolutely right. In less than four months, my mother was given a far greater amount of money as compensation than we’d expected, all thanks to Gregory Cade’s amazing skills and competence.

This exceptional attorney has made a very painful time more bearable for me and my family. While I wasn’t the one who needed legal assistance, my grandfather, who had been an insulator for most of his life, was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma and we encouraged him to take legal recourse. We were astonished by Gregory Cade’s display of compassion and genuine care for my grandfather’s health. After our first consultation, he assured us that he and his legal team would do all in their power to submit the claim as soon as possible so that we wouldn’t have to wait for too long. Indeed, our expectations were greatly exceeded and my grandfather received compensation in the shortest time possible for such a complex and time-consuming case. Mr. Cade, as well as the other members of the ELG team, are amazing professionals whose service are invaluable to asbestos victims and we highly recommend other people injured by asbestos to take action, too. Recovering compensation is easier than you might think with the help of an experienced legal team such as the one at ELG!

I would like to thank Gregory Cade for his excellent legal assistance and also to the ELG team for everything they did for me. Without the guidance of these amazing people, my asbestos claim wouldn’t have stood a chance and I certainly wouldn’t have got the compensation Mr. Cade was able to obtain in such a short time. He is a highly experienced and well-informed attorney with a remarkable work ethic who will not settle for less than you deserve. Mr. Cade is also a great listener. I was very stressed before our first consultation because I knew how complicated personal injury cases can be, especially asbestos ones. However, he calmly presented me all the legal options I had and helped me make the best decision. I’d recommend him to anyone who was affected by asbestos exposure without hesitation!

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.
