I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in which I totaled my 2006 HD Heritage Softail motorcycle. The following day I called Cannon & Dunphy to represent me and Brett Eckstein was assigned to my case. Brett did an outstanding job informing me every step of the way on how a case like this would move through the court system and how long he expected it to take. I also had a great experience working with paralegal Athena Rossetti on regular updates on my surgeries, follow up doctor visits and physical therapy. The team there did a great job taking care of all of the medical bills and securing a very satisfactory settlement.

If you’re reading this, it may be because you or a loved one needs an attorney and I’d like to share a little of my own experience. After sustaining injuries in a fall, it didn’t take long to realize that navigating an injury claim process on my own wouldn’t be an easy task and I needed an expert to help guide me. My first appointment was meeting with Brett Eckstein at Cannon & Dunphy, and it became the only appointment I would need. Within minutes it was clear that I found the right person in Brett, at the right law firm of Cannon & Dunphy. From the moment we first met until the close of my case I felt a sense of comfort knowing I was represented by a truly outstanding attorney. But most importantly, Brett is one of the finest human-beings I have ever met. He never treated me like “just another client” and I always felt like I had a loyal friend guiding me through the process. His attentiveness, kindness and compassion went beyond all my expectations! In the end, it was his expertise and persistence negotiating cases like mine that brought it to a fair, equitable conclusion. Choosing Brett to represent me was hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made! I am beyond grateful for him and his paralegal Athena for all their efforts on my behalf.

My experience with Pasternack and Zirgibel has been nothing but a positive experience. I had given the office a call after a car accident and they answered all my questions and went above and beyond my expectations. I work in the legal field and work with many attorneys. the office took over all my dealing with the accident and worked out a settlement outside of court. Not only was the office staff terrific both attorneys were great to work and communicate with. I would strongly recommend this law firm to anyone they are caring honest and hard working attorneys.

My husband & I were in a serious automobile accident and were really at a loss on where to turn for assistance. We contacted Mr. Zirgibel on the advice of a friend and could not have hoped for a better experience. During our difficult recovery process, Mr. Zirgibel worked very hard to take the burden of dealing with the insurance companies off of our shoulders and arrive at a favorable and timely settlement. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend you give Mr Zirgebel a call.

I am an international German businessman who was looking for a litigator in Waukesha County. I was referred to Attorney Schoenfeld through another international company where I had prior business relations. My company had sent $500,000 worth of product to a large manufacturing company in Wisconsin and after receipt of the product the company failed to pay for the product or return the product. I hired Attorney Schoenfeld to file a Complaint. Howard has a very direct, clear-cut, non-rubbish type of approach to business. I not only received a good upshot but I learned a few things from Howard on the art and craft of negotiating.

Jake Schwei came highly recommended to me by a high profile trial attorney. Within the first five minutes of my initial consultation, I knew why he was so highly recommended. Jake asked very pointed questions and took incredibly thorough notes. I could immediately tell that he was willing to be as aggressive as needed in order to keep me as whole as possible after my divorce was complete. He never backed down in the negotiation process and never gave me even a small shred of doubt.

We had the pleasure of working with Attorney Dan Krause and his fabulous team at their Brookfield office recently to quickly pull together several estate planning documents. It was immediately clear that Attorney Krause was professional, knowledgeable and experienced about Elder Law in Wisconsin, and he easily guided us through the process quickly and efficiently. He took extra care to answer all of our questions and helped us clearly understand our choices, giving examples and possible scenarios along the way. We found him to be very personable, compassionate, and enjoyable to work with. His office staff is top notch and welcoming as well. We are extremely pleased we chose Krause Estate Planning, are comfortable with the decisions made, and are feeling the relief of having important documents in place for our future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Beyond her legal expertise, what truly set Pam Lara apart was her compassion and understanding of the emotional toll a custody battle can take on families. She showed genuine concern for my family’s well-being. During moments when I felt overwhelmed or discouraged, she provided reassurance and encouragement.
Pam also emphasized the importance of focusing on what was best for my child throughout this process. She helped me navigate difficult conversations with empathy and respect for all parties involved, which ultimately contributed to a more amicable resolution.
I cannot recommend Lara Family Law highly enough for anyone facing a custody battle. Their combination of professional expertise, excellent communication skills, compassionate support, and commitment to achieving positive outcomes makes them an invaluable ally during such challenging times. If you find yourself needing assistance with family law matters, look no further—this attorney will fight tirelessly for your family’s best interests. Thank you, Pam Lara! ♥️

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.
