I was inquiring about hiring an attorney for a very delicate situation and Julie called back and was so caring, considerate, knowledgeable, and I felt heard. She took the time and explained things to me in detail. She didn't make me feel rushed in any way. It was a lot of information at once to take into consideration and figure out how to go about the next steps. Thanks Julie.

Julie is articulate, eloquent and play's to win. I
hired Julie with my father and my divorce was done in a New York minute. I consulted her in December in regard to a family matter at 4AM.
She responded by 8:30 AM and walked me through my case. She is on point. I cannot suggest better legal representation.

We sold one of our houses we owned but the Title Company paid off the house we lived in currently instead of the one we sold. Big mess needless to say and I needed a good Attorney, Jan Morris was the man for the Job. He dealt with the Title Companies Insurance holder and got a settlement for our damages. He is a very nice guy to work with and easy to talk to as well.

I was in an accident in November and sustained neck injuries and a broken wrist. Mr. David Shiner and his team were very helpful and were great at handling my case.

When selecting a lawyer in a personal injury case, kindness is a quality that is rare. Ayre is a very kind and compassionate person. Arye will listen to your concerns and he does have his clients' best interests at heart. He is soft spoken but settled my case in a little more than 3 months. With that said, the settlement was so quick, there were more months of waiting for the medical billings to resolve. Arye was diligent in reducing my medical bills and I must say that I'm very pleased with the amount of compensation Arye was able to get from the insurance company. I hope nobody ever goes through the life-changing event of being nearly killed in an automobile accident but that's a pipe dream. It will happen to people. If it happens to you or your loved one please call Arye.

I never thought needing an attorney ever. Unfortunately, Florida has way to many dishonest people. Somebody gave me his name and phone number and call. The next day, meet him and since, I needed him twice. In both cases he suggested me the best way, and won in both. Man, i liked the way he made this happen. Efficiently and in good time. I coudn’t hace been more lucky, running in to him, perhaps, God put me in his direction. He is simply an excelent attoney and person. Who ever hires him, i assure you, that he will do his best for you.

Thanks to her work, I can now continue my studies without this charge hindering my chances of getting into graduate school.

Dan represented me in a personal injury case that went to trial. He not only won the case and won a substantial judgment but he did it in a most resourceful and creative way. He thoroughly researches the facts, anticipates what opposing counsel will do at trial, and is prepared when that counsel does what he has anticipated. He is an excellent reader of how juries will react. I would HIGHLY recommend Dan for any person who has experienced a personal injury or been injured in an accident. He keeps his clients informed throughout the process and is outstanding in every way.

If you are looking for a personal injury attorney in South Florida, I strongly recommend my attorney Dan Haverman. I was hit in a car accident and even though I am myself an attorney and know many personal injury attorneys, some of whom are good friends, I never hesitated in calling Mr. Haverman. I trust him fully and know many others who also do the same. His competence and knowledge is as a result of close to 3 decades of practice and can not be questioned. He was always responsive to my requests and has always kept me informed through mail, text and phone calls about the developments in my case. I wholeheartedly endorse Dan Haverman. Give him a call. You will be glad you did.

Ruben Socarras was referred to us by our cousin who is a lawyer in Miami. We had an issue of a flood from our shower as a result of renovations. Our general Contractor refused to accept responsibility and placed a lien on our property. After reviewing the file, Ruben told us that his goal was to settle with a minimum of legal costs and to avoid going to court. He succeeded in obtaining mediation and a settlement that was very satisfactory for us. We were always kept up to date and consulted. His friendly calm demeanor and honesty were much appreciated.

What can I say about my experience with the Eltringham Law Group... there is so much! I absolutely had an amazing experience with them! When I got into my car accident, living in Florida, I was extremely skeptical about reaching out to a lawyer because of how sketchy and unprofessional they usually are down here but I am definitely glad I did. From the first point of contact, to the constant communication through email and over the phone updating me every step of the way to the last and final steps of the process was beyond professional with superb customer service. The one thing that intrigued me the most was that they do not advertise on the radio or TV, which means they solely rely only on referrals by word of mouth. I knew right then that it was going to be such a great experience! I highly recommend Eltringham Law Group to any of my friends, family and strangers I don’t know. I am grateful for the experience because not only did they help me but I am walking away with life long friends. Thank you to David and Teresa for all of your help and support.

I had the misfortune to receive a defective medical device which required additional surgery to remove and replace it. I then conferred with OSBORNE & ASSOCIATES LAW FIRM, P.A . Joe Osborne and his associates, especially Dennis Faulkner, were understanding and extremely helpful in working with me to facilitate all of the necessary information from beginning to end. I was amazed at how quickly and successfully my case was resolved – in only 4 months after my initial consultation. It was truly a pleasure to work with them. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney!

I hired Joe to represent me for injuries that I got in a car accident. I decided to use Joe because a friend of mine said how caring Joe was. I usually don't reviews (good or bad), but I have to say that Joe was great. Everything that my friend told me and everything that I read about Joe was absolutely true. He took his time and held my hand throughout my entire case. Not only did he make me feel like I was family but he did a great job. I am so happy that I met Joe. I feel like I have a lawyer for life now. Thanks Joe for taking such good care of me!!

I contacted Trial Lawyers of the Palm Beaches after two cars collided in front of me and one of them came straight into me at about 45 miles an hour. I knew I was hurt, but I did not know how bad it was. Not only did I get the care I needed- but my goal was to come out of it not owing medical bills. I was stunned at what Samantha was able to do for me. My bills were completely covered and Sam achieved a settlement that was ELEVEN TIMES what the insurance company offered me! Not only were my medical needs addressed, there was plenty of money left over for me in the event future medical needs arise. I was full of fear and anxiety. Sam made the process easy, kept me informed, and achieved a result against a huge insurance company that I thought absolutely impossible. Maybe the lawyers on the billboards and tv are good, too. I felt I would get lost in the shuffle with a massive firm. With the Trial Lawyers, I got an amazing result, with personal, caring attention to my case. Never lost in the shuffle, Sam personally called me to give me updates, see how I was feeling, and let me know what she needed (documents, etc) to win. And win she did. I did not have to pay anything up front. Hiring the wrong lawyer can be a huge mistake. Calling Samantha was one of the best calls I've ever made. I strongly recommend her. She is an excellent personal injury attorney.

I hired Warren to represent my son in a personal injury case. At the time I hired Warren I didn't even know where my son was due some really strange legal issues. As soon as I hired Warren within a day, Warren had discovered my son's location and his condition. My son was badly injured and I was very worried because I didn't know the extent of his injuries and due to the legal issues was not able to find out. Warren went above and beyond the call of duty of any attorney to locate my son and put my mind at ease concerning his welfare. Warren gave consistent updates about the related criminal case as well as what he knew about my son's physical condition. He was able to quickly resolve the criminal case, getting the case dropped. In terms of the personal injury case, Warren's ability and competence resolved this case in a timely and fair manner. Warren is a great guy and great attorney. He concern for his clients is real. Fairness and justice are the hallmarks of his character as an attorney and as a person.

I have used the services of Erik and his partner William on multiple occasions.
They have always been fair and upfront with estimated costs and have provided me with reasonable assurances as to the outcomes my cases would result in.

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.
