I'm very pleased with Austin Freely I showed up to court Today in Quincy, Ma All cases dismissed before noon all charges including Oui 2 ,Driving on suspended liscence and negligence driving. I highly recommend Attorney Freeley for any criminal matters. He is extremely skilled at his craft of the studies of law. If you need an attorney that will fight for you with passion. Austin cares more about your case than being just a number. He became an Attorney to help people and cares about his clients.

My journey with Attorney Austin J. Freeley began in the month of June 2015. He was very patient with me. Never gave me false hopes or false promises. He is a very honest , hard-working and compassionate Attorney. Not all about money. He truly cares for his clients as he is a God fearing man. I've worked with him for over 2 years. He has genuinely prayed with me, fought for me to his full potential with tremendous results. He was available for my legal needs above and beyond. His expertise in case-law is impeccable and quite extraordinary. I highly recommend Attorney Freeley.

While in college in Boston, I was unfortunately the victim of police racism and acquired multiple charges for a crime I did not commit. Austin was very diligent and highly professional with his methods and tactics for ensuring my future was not affected by false charges. The end result was my case being DISMISSED! I highly recommend Austin, he is a solid and experienced attorney in bringing a criminal defense case to speedy resolution.

I reached out to a colleague / friend of mine and he recommend Michael Harriman. I sent an email to him and within a half an hour, there was a connection. Michael understood my relentless frustrations, I sent over the photos of my car accident and that same day – it was a new found relationship that I knew that I didn’t have to worry about. Michael is approachable and the entire process so easy that I knew everything would work out in the long run. His only requirement is transparency because he is advocating for his clients. I kept Michael abreast of every single appointment to every scan that way he just had to collect the data to document. My case was closed out before my 1 year anniversary of my accident and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Michael Harriman is a true testament to the law and his clients. Great attorney and I would refer him to my family and friends.

“I turned to Attorney Michael Harriman at Harriman Law to pursue a personal injury claim on my behalf after I was seriously injured in a car accident. I sustained a head injury in the accident after a negligent driver ran a stop sign and crashed into my car. Michael zealously pursued the claim – resolving my claims against the negligent driverwhile also convincing my employer’s Workers’ Compensation insurer to accept liability and to (finally!) pay me the wage and medical benefits I was entitled to and that my family so desperately needed after a prolonged absence from work. Throughout the case, Michael was professional, diligent, communicative, and was a fierce advocate in pursuit of my claim. I cannot recommend Michael Harriman and Harriman Law more emphatically. If you have been injured and are in need of a Massachusetts personal injury lawyer who is easy to work with, gets great results, and does everything he can to pursue your case then you should call Michael at Harriman Law right away!”

He was not only extremely knowledgeable re: my injury (post-concussion syndrome, which is often misunderstood and/or minimized), but was also extremely kind, empathetic and patient, which meant the world to me. David is well-versed in these types of cases and knew (and retained) the experts needed to provide documentation that strengthened my case.

He not only knows the realestate aspect of the business but also knows the legal side. Anything that my wife and I asked for he was very prompt and professional in time and response. It was also a great help to view houses and have his feed back and expertise. He was able to point out aspects of a house for need of repair, or things that were positive and unique to a property.

My daughter was born with a rare genetic disease in the second year of our visit to the United States. During the prenatal care, my wife was never given adequate and correct genetic counseling and never offered the proper test to identify my daughter’s problem. My daughter’s birth with this disease was a huge shock to me and my wife. Far away from our home country and all of our other family members, we knew nothing about my daughter’s disease and faced the huge challenge of caring for such a disable child, with almost no friends here… we were helpless and hopeless. We found Mr. Halstrom by chance when I searched online for legal help. He took our case when we first met. From that time on, Mr. Halstrom and the staff of Halstrom Law Offices have been not only providing all essential professional legal help for us, but also have been acting as our very reliable friends. They have been compassionate, confidential, and very respectful. They handled every single detail; collected everything essential for the case. They provided interpreters all the time for helping us understand all the details of the case; they respect every single questions we had and answered very patiently. Mr. Halstrom has been absolutely precise and professional, and he handled our case expertly and ferociously. We were protected from language games and tactics of the defense lawyers. In the end, the defense settled the case for $7 million. Mr. Halstrom helped us set up a trust for my daughter with the settlement money; this will completely change her life care. It is unfortunate to have doctors never inform you or offer essential testing to see if your child has any disease. We can’t change the nature of our daughter’s disease, but thanks to Mr. Halstrom's help of Mr. Halstrom, her care will change dramatically. As a foreigner, we feel cared for and loved as family members by Mr. Halstrom and his office staff. Every holiday, we have received flowers and gifts from Mr.Halstrom and his office. Mr. Halstrom continues to show his compassion through these small acknowledgments. He has been one of our very reliable friends.

Gary Zerola is by far the most knowledgeable, skilled and resourceful attorney I have encountered. Early on in my adult life I got in trouble and used court appointed lawyers or cheap inexperienced lawyers because I didn't know any better and had no money. Since then I haven't gotten into as much trouble but after some nights of drinking and bad decisions, I again needed a lawyer and a firefighter friend recommended Gary. I've used him that time and on multiple occasions since and without hesitation I would again. Once you meet him, you will realize that he truly cares about you and resolving whatever trouble you may have gotten yourself into. With no judgment either. He's just a compassionate guy. He explained everything to me in a way I could understand and made himself available for any questions or concerns I had 24/7, even giving me his personal cell number. I am so happy that I made the right choice in having Gary Zerola represent me, he got me more than one dismissal. I hope I never need him again for a criminal case but if you need a lawyer to get you out of a situation you never expected to be in, don't look anywhere else -- Gary is the man.

I had just gotten out of the Marines, and going through college and I knew this could ruin my future. I called a few offices, and Gary Zerola significantly stood out. I left him a voicemail, and he personally got back to me almost immediately. I was a completely wreck when I spoke to him, but after my initial consultation Mr.Zerola made me feel at ease and I knew something could be done. I wanted to fight this all the way, since the charges were completely false. He kept me in contact at all times with email or phone. He was very transparent with everything that was going on, and he was always just a phone call away. I had a few options on how to proceed, and I made the decision to take it to trial in front of a judge. Mr. Zerola did an excellent job with the case and proved that there was no case at all. My charges were completely dropped – no probation, not “dismissed”, the verdict was- NOT GUILTY. He was absolutely worth the investment, and thanks to him I was able to graduate college and get a great job instead of spending time in jail for false allegations.

My 61 yr old mom was hit by a car almost 20 years ago and we contacted Stephen Guillette. Stephen was always very caring, personable all while dealing with her case. Almost 20 years later, she is hit again. We hadnt spoken to him over the years but once decided to contact an attorney, she immediately said to call Stephen. He remembered who she was right away, visited her in rehab the same day I spoke to him. He is always careful to ensure the process is understood in terms she understands. We couldn't ask for anything more! He will always be our go to Attorney.

Attorney Itzkowitz represented me in a federal suit I filed against some major American corporations after I was raped on the grounds of an American owned hotel in the Cayman Islands 20 years ago. The case was poised to be a truly landmark case on many levels. At the zenith hour to the trial, it was settled out of court for a sum that helped me regain my life and belief in justice. I was literally homeless and had become disabled by my physical and psychic injuries. Although receiving no interest from the American press (except for a superb article in Layers Weekly) the settlement Mark facilitated made some global headlines. An article even appeared in newspapers in Japan. Mark Itzkowitz is a "super-lawyer" of Super Lawyers. His insight and brilliance regarding the international laws which impacted my case was astounding. Mark has also helped me in smaller family type matters since then. I have 100% confidence in Mark Itzkowitz's integrity and ability. 5 stars is not high enough praise.

David McMorris is a truly wonderful attorney and person. On the five-star rating system he actually deserves a 10!!! I am so grateful that he even took my case, which was honestly not that strong. He was so dedicated to it, did all of the work, was do diligent and kept me updated every step of the way. He is an extremely sincere and compassionate person and I could feel his concern in every conversation we had. He is such a pleasant and affable person to work with and I always felt that he was doing just more than “his job” because he continually left me with the sense that his only concern was for the well-being of my family. He is an astute negotiator, calm yet relentless trying to get the settlement that he truly thought my family deserved. He has great integrity, incredible knowledge of the law, and was well respected by the opposing counsel and the judge. In the end, my settlement was well beyond what a reasonable person would have expected to receive based on the strength of my case. It has significantly changed my life in the wake of a pretty disastrous situation that led us to David in the first place. I will be eternally grateful to him and his law firm and I hope that if you are reading this and trying to decide on a lawyer you will choose him because it will be the best decision you will ever make.

I am so thankful that an acquaintance recommended David to my husband and me during our workers compensation case. We had already made a grave mistake by hiring someone who was less than praiseworthy before finding him and what a transformation David created. Immediately during our first phone conversation with David my husband and I felt assured that we were in better hands. We could hear the sincerity in his tone; the compassion he displayed towards our situation and the direction and leadership he was taking was so comforting. His calm demeanor really facilitated a peace within my frightened, nervous, husband. We are so pleased to recommend him for anyone whom might be in need of his services because he truly is a terrific lawyer but most of all gentleman.

To say that John Dalimonte saved my life is an understatement. I thought that I was completely screwed -- but somehow I was lucky enough to get referred to John. Other lawyers go to John for advice -- why wouldn't you want that lawyer to represent you?? He got me a huge settlement that saved me and my family. To top it off, he's a great guy -- and I never thought I'd say that about a lawyer!

Eric was referred to me in November 2013, and I am very thankful for the recommendation. Eric achieved a result where it seemed no result would be possible. It took 8 years of patience, grind and frustration but the result finally came. Distance proved to be no barrier (other than the time change between East Coast and Australia). Over that 8 years there were long periods when nothing happened, but when it did, Eric kept me up-to-date and informed. My sincerest thanks for the time and effort you put in on my behalf Eric.

On two occasions, Counselor Finamore "saved my chestnuts" from the fire. Both times all he did was to make a phone call - just a phone call. But it was to the right person at the right time. On one occasion, I sent Mr. Finamore a retainer check. He located important information which he conveyed to me quickly and efficiently. Then . . . GET THIS . . . he returned my retainer! He helped me greatly and charged me not a farthing. INTEGRITY. Something missing in parts of America today. It is so refreshing to find a lawyer with great integrity who performs as he is asked. My recommendation: 100%. As they say in Maine, "Finest Kind".

Choosing an attorney can be daunting, however, after selecting Attorney Finamore and witnessing his compassion and perseverance, we did not regret our decision. He was up front from the start about informing us of the lengthy judicial process and parts of the case that would be difficult. He is well versed in the legal system and thought outside the box, which resulted in us receiving compensation from a difficult and unusual case. He was very supportive and went the extra mile until the very end.

I've hired Ms Horwich to help me on numerous traffic offenses. I'm not exaggerating but for every case I have ever hired her for, we were always victorious. "knock on wood", but this woman is amazing. If you're in a situation and need a lawyer for traffic defense or any other areas she may practice, you can't go wrong with this lady. She's good and will work hard for you.

Peter recently represented us on a personal matter. Peter is, hand down, the best attorney I've ever worked with for any matter. Not only is he very well versed in the law, but he was always very well prepared and organized and always put forward his best effort from start to finish of our matter. Over the entire course of my matter, Peter was very accessible and always very responsive in answering the most complicated as well as the simplest questions.

Michael provided me with incredible legal representation for an accident that left me with life altering injuries. He came to my rescue from the very beginning. Through every aspect of the legal process Michael explained and assisted me with incredible detail and patience. He provided me with incredible personal service and guidance throughout the process. Michael was there by my side through the discovery, the depositions and the final outcome before the judge. I have never been involved in any type of lawsuit prior to this and the thought of it was overwhelming. Michael immediately put me at ease and educated me on the process. This is not just a top notch attorney he is also is a caring and personal people oriented individual. Michael's guidance resulted in an extremely favorable result for me. He will fight for you, he will listen and he will deliver in a very realistic and professional manner.

Michael was a pleasure to work with. Many times you will run in to people who are very vague, non-responsive, and only communicate with you regarding decisions that are of interest to them. Michael was none of those things. He made sure to contact me every step of the way and explain every term and issue to me in its entirety. My family and I knew almost nothing about the legal process involved with a personal injury case and Michael could not have been any more helpful. I really appreciated all of his effort and I gladly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a personal injury lawyer.

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.
