Paul Scott will talk to you like a real person. I was dealing with another lawyer that talked down to me, wouldn’t return calls, and I felt like I was unimportant. Paul took my case, worked hard and efficiently, and listened! I hope to never need a lawyer, but if I do I will hire Paul first. His slogan should be “one call to Paul, that’s all”.

Our son had an accident after his first week of driving on his own. The person he pulled out in front of was injured and both vehicles were damaged beyond repair. We were suddenly served legal documents and were being sued. Mr. Scott was the attorney for our insurance company. We had never been involved in an accident or a lawsuit and didn't know what to expect. His legal expertise and knowledge resulted in the plaintiff settling for what our insurance covered. Maybe even more impressive was the kindness and encouragement that was shown to our son through this whole process by Paul Scott.

Thank you Paul Scott for being there and never giving up. Truly dedicated to helping others.

Lesley Dinoff was an excellent lawyer for me in every way. When no other lawyer in town wanted to fight for me in my divorce, she did it willingly and very effectively. I actually have something to start a new life now thanks to her. There’s not a lot of justice out there but Lesley is an attorney that won’t stop and she is 100 percent in her clients corner. I’m glad she’s here, she is very very needed.

After a terrible exeperiance and a mess made by a previous attorney in my grandparents visitation case, Mr. Sowerby took my case, with my millions of papers, in stride. He truly heard me when I said how I wanted to handle going forward, and agreed. Then when things got bad, he stepped up and did not allow us to be bullied down. Absolutely the best family attorney I have worked with, and will always go back to him if I ever need help again.

Mr. Sowerby was hired by me in 2016. I chose him because he answered my call right away and upon meeting him at his office he was very specific as to what could happen in my case. We were set to go before the judge in 30 days after he filed the order. He did such an amazing job representing me and I won the case. Over the course of the next three years I have had to go before the judge again and every time Mr. Sowerby has not only defended me but he has made me confident that he can do the same for others. If you are looking for a lawyer to help you win the case, he’s your best bet!

My child was hit by a car while he was crossing the street in a school zone. The reckless driver’s insurance company completely denied my child’s serious injury motor vehicle accident claim, laying blame on my son. I brought the matter to Mr. Dow and he looked at it from an entirely different angle and articulated that position to the insurance company in undeniable terms. The insurance company buckled and paid nearly $100,000 even though they almost had me convinced my son was at fault when he was hit by a car. Mr. Dow’s firm was the difference in my son securing justice in his case and I recommend them highly. – T.A.

I was injured in a tractor-trailer wreck in Brunswick, Georgia while I was visiting from out of state. When I returned home to Florida, I called a large Florida law firm to try to handle my Glynn County, Georgia case. This was a mistake. The Florida attorneys could not get my case settled for a fair amount. Fortunately, the Florida firm contacted Mr. Dow to file a lawsuit on my behalf and he agreed to help. Once the case was filed and the trucking company started working against The Dow Firm, P.C., they saw what they were up against and started to talk about legitimate settlement numbers. In the end, Mr. Dow secured a litigated settlement for me which was double what I would have accepted. And it was way more than the Florida law firm had advised me to take. I am very thankful that J. got involved. He and his staff really took care in my representation and looked out for me. – L.P.

I suspected my husband died as a result of medical malpractice. I was referred to The Dow Firm, P.C. by another attorney who does not handle these types of wrongful death cases. Mr. Dow and his staff of experts (nurses and doctors) evaluated the situation and found that my husband had been victimized, but not as I originally suspected. The cause of my husband’s death was found in some obscure medical record entries which revealed an entirely different situation than the doctors had shared with me. Mr. Dow’s law firm’s investigative work was exceptional and I am so lucky I hired them. After we filed suit the doctor indicated he wanted to settle my case, but he and his insurance company tried to pay less than a reasonable amount. J. refused their offer and pressed on. Eventually, the other side caved in and paid what we demanded. I got unexpected answers and results in my case. Mr. Dow was passionate, assuring and firm the whole way. – L.H.

Alone, confused, and scared! That’s how I felt before walking in and meeting Brad and Jessie. Between the two of them, they took me by the hand and assured me that everything would be ok. And you know…It was!!! I immediately was made to feel like a part of their family. When I felt like given in, or worse, giving up, they wouldn’t allow it. If I called or texted with a question, or even just to vent, I would get a response faster than if I called or texted one of my own kids!!! Brunswick has a top notch choice by being represented by Brad and his team.

I obtained Mr. Mclelland’s services for representation for my automobile accident. Brad and Jessie treated me like I was their only client. They were very informative at keeping me apprised of the progress of my case. Brad continued to fight for me in obtaining a settlement amount that I was content with. All in all, I am extremely impressed with the service I received. In the event I need representation again, without a second thought, hands down I would choose The Law Office of Brad McLelland.

I had a very difficult divorce. I didn’t think anyone could negotiate with my husband. Mr. Swindle negotiated a settlement and saves me a jury trial divorce. Mr. Swindle is honest and he will discuss all matters with you and tell you what the probable outcome is. Mr. Swindle is a kind person and excellent attorney. I really wasn’t sure if hat to expect with a Georgia divorce, but I am very glad I listened to Mr. Swindle. I have dealt with attorneys before and do believe that Mr. Swindle kindness and compassion shines through, when his client has been in a difficult situation. I highly recommend Mr. Swindle as a divorce attorney. Abigail, Mr. Swindles paralegal is gracious, kind and on top of the cases. If you are reading this, please take my review seriously. I have dealt with attorneys in my life and can say, Mr. Swindle won’t give up on you, as his client: this firm is excellent!!

I had a bad injury after a truck accident and we hired Ryan to help. He treated us with compassion and humanity. Every time we had questions, he took the time to explain our best options. He’s a very bright and reliable attorney. It was a complicated case and it took years to resolve, with two different companies on the other side of the case, and there were several court fights. Ultimately, it was Ryan's diligent research that discovered a major flaw in the defense case. We finally settled the case and we’re very satisfied with the outcome.

As an out of state attorney whose mother was injured by the negligence of others in Darien, Georgia, I knew I needed a top-notch attorney to represent her. Thankfully, my search led me to Bob Killian. Bob wasted no time getting to work on my mother's behalf, personally inspecting the accident scene the day I first contacted him. From the beginning of the case to the excellent result he achieved, Bob was a consummate professional. He communicated regularly with us, and returned telephone calls and e-mail messages without delay. Bob is an excellent litigator who skillfully handled depositions and presented my mother's case in a convincing manner that anyone could understand. Not only is Bob the best, but his staff is wonderful, too - they are kind, helpful and caring. If you need an attorney in Southeast Georgia, I highly recommend Bob Killian and his team at Killian Law Firm.

The door men / guards were so rude and literally made my mom walk our cell phones out to the car .. can you believe you can’t have a cell phone somewhere…? That should be a right …. Anyways for how rude the door men were they also did the real job very poorly … lol my dipper bag went through the scanner and there was my extra phone in one of the pockets that I hadn’t remembered as well as my vape and they handed it to me … I would suggest that the higher the security may seem to be they also may be the most dangerous places because nothing is as it seems … I can only imagine what they are letting get passed the scanner and the double locked doors and some more s***… it’s actually very concerning… so they had the time to tell my elderly mom to go back to the car but didn’t have the time to let us know what court room a specific judge was in … I hope someone helps them out with there customer service…

Mr. Tucker gave me a false sense of hope that he could handle my case. I had video of my 1st,4th,and 5th amendment rights being violated and he didn't even look at the video. When my wife called him he told her he would have me out of jail where I never should have been when we had a motion to suppress hearing in a few weeks . He wasn't ready so it was postponed for another 2 months and he wasn't ready again. Then finally after being locked up for 11 months we had the hearing and he said there was nothing he could do . He plain and simply sold me out. No question about it. I finally had to cut a deal myself with the day while he stood there talking with the judge like they were bff's and later did the same with the da. He took my mom money and my wife's money and they were both struggling to make ends meet at the time and he did absolutely nothing. He's very moody and if he don't know u or someone who does u better get a boat paddle bc he will sell u down the river. I even told him that the police and the DA were lying and I had proof but he said it wouldnt help me. I finally showed the parole board my case and they in turn sent me straight to a work place to make money and shortly after released me. He never even offered to refund my people's money. I hope if u have a criminal case and don't have much money u leave this guy alone. I hope u listen. Thiggpin out of waycross helped me get my case be gone. Call him if u want a lawer

MR. TUCKER HAS REPRESENTED MY INTERESTS BOTH PERSONALLY AND IN BUSINESS (since 1995), with POSITIVE RESULTS IN MY FAVOR EACH AND EVERY INSTANCE. Mr. Tucker is professionally the most exemplary attorney I've worked with in real estate matters, personal injury, workman's compensation, and general business law. Mr. Tucker knows the law, without question. Bottom line is if you want your case to be represented at the highest standard, chose an attorney whom can fairly assess your case and provide the proper recommendations and course of action, to ultimately win your case. Passing the bar for admission to practice is one hurdle and all lawyers do not operate at the same level of competency. You may have the tightest case ever, but if your attorney doesn't have your best interests at heart, you could still lose. Hire someone with the courage to win, the intellect to present your case impeccably to the Court and the drive to gain optimal results. When the Court renders its' opinion, the only two words you want to hear are "WE WON."

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.
