Stephen Waldman was highly recommended by a close family friend, after my son had received a serious injury to his knee following an auto accident when a car came through a red light and totaled our car. I was concerned that after his initial medical treatment my son's knee was still not 100% healed, Stephen advised us to see an orthopedic specialist to get a second opinion and the specialist indicated that a further course of treatment was required. During the process of presenting a claim to the insurance company, which accepted liability, Stephen Waldman was very professional and always kept us informed as to what was happening with our claim. He has great communication skills and it was always a pleasure to talk to him or answer the odd email. My son has now fully recovered from his injury. The initial settlement offered by the insurance company admitting liability was declined as the injury was more serious than originally anticipated. An improved settlement offer was then accepted and my son will now have some money that he can use for college etc. after his 18th. birthday. I am very happy with what Stephen has done for my son, without him my son would have received nothing. I highly recommend Stephen Waldman to anyone requiring the services of an excellent lawyer.

I find his entire firm and staff to be knowledgeable, efficient, and aggressive on my behalf. He has prevented several questionable situations from becoming a problem because of his ability to approach it correctly, and defend myself and company from situations which have occurred as the result of day to day business. He and his partner, Kyle are great attorneys and I highly recommend them both should you need an attorney.

He walked me through the elements and facets of the case and showed me various directions it could go and educated me on the viable arguments and the value of the damages.

I hired Robert Klein to represent me when I was rear-ended by another driver, totaling my vehicle and causing me injury. Mr. Klein and his assistant Jenny took the time to go over every piece of paper and how the law was applicable to my case, and advised me on the best way to move forward after things started looking grim. His office worked with other entities to ensure that I received as much as possible, in spite of the low reward. Mr. Klein is kind, professional, and keeps his word. I hope I never need an attorney's services again, but if I do need them, he will be my first call.

I'll be sure to hire Robert if ever needed for a larger case, and having dealt with other lawyers before, demeanor and availability plays such a big role. Thank you Robert Klein.

Courtney Cummings is hands down one of the best DUI/Criminal defense attorneys in Orange County. Courtney commands respect in the courtroom from prosecutors, judges, victims, and onlookers. You can instantly tell the moment she steps in that she means business. Courtney was appointed to represent me for a DUI Case. She came equipped with an arsenal of a defense, packed with strategy, case law, and supporting documentary and physical evidence. After having prepared a winning case the DA decided to drop the charges and the outcome of my case was exactly what I had hoped for (reckless driving – no enhancements). Courtney fought hard for me and did everything in her power to prepare for trial. There is no attorney better to have in your corner than Courtney Cummings.

Mr. John C. Fowler is a godsend. I was in a work related accident a few years ago and going through some hard times because of it.

But all of this changed when I met Mr. Fowler, he explained to me my rights, he got me the help I needed to get back on my feet and with time I was able to go back to work. He worked long and hard to settle our case. I thank Mr. Fowler for helping me and my family during this difficult time in life we went through.

First, I would like to say that I am an attorney myself. A former colleague of mine recommended Mr. Baruch. From the first consultation up through the end of the case I could not have wished for better representation. Mr. Baruch is sharp, a creative thinker, and knows the law inside and out. He is a fighter, and was an excellent advocate for me. He was also compassionate and attuned to my specific needs and issues. He is a straight shooter. I did not think it was possible to find all of these characteristics rolled into one attorney. I hope I am never embroiled in litigation again but if I am I would retain Mr. Baruch every time. To say he is an excellent litigator is an understatement.

Earlier this year I entered into an agreement for an HVAC Contractor to do some major work on my home, but the contractor failed to complete the scope written in the contract. I refused to pay until the work was completed, but the contractor filed a mechanic's lein on my property. They dodged my contact attempts and seemed determined to take my home. In a sea of personal injury lawyers on the market, I was lucky enough to find an attorney that new contract and construction law through and through. Immediately after my first consultation with Nicholas, I knew he was the man to get it done and felt relieved immediately. Nicholas is the kind of lawyer that you want on YOUR side. His tenacious persona kept the contractor's company and owner on the defensive and gave them little room breathe or time to rest. He managed my expecations well, and always gave me the next steps on our game plan. Within weeks, the contractor settled in my favor, rather face an expensive and futile court litigation.

There is a reason HLF specializes in Employment Law. While avoiding specifics I will say this Team of legal professionals set the standard very high. From the moment I used their website to submit my inquiry to present day I never felt anything but educated, cared about, and professionally guided through the scary waters of my specific case. I sought justice and Alex (and his wonderful Team) helped me get it. I feel like I had a voice now and that I have been properly compensated. Towards the end and several times during this experience I was flustered and bewildered. I was worried they would think I was stupid or annoying for asking so many questions, especially after what I had been though.... My self esteem was not very good at that time.

Ron Papell is nothing short of an amazing attorney. He guided me personally from the very first time i called up until the end of the case. Rather than having a staff of 20 attorneys just out to settle cases, Mr. Papell worked with me directly. He went above and beyond to us the best results, even better than we were expecting, due to his knowledge, experience and perseverance. He took the time to prepare me for every aspect of our case and made sure I understood the process step by step. He was never more than a phone call or email away.

22 Jun, 2015 by A personal injury client
As a teenager, I was in need of legal representation after having been in an auto accident that, over time, rendered me unable to use my dominant hand. With little to no parental presence or guidance behind me, I was leery of seeking representation from those who were eager to discuss their commission and fees; who saw easy financial gain when a young girl walked through their door. After doing extensive research and taking multiple interviews, Ron was without a doubt the clear choice and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to obtain his counsel. Ron was confident that he could help me and turned out to be exactly what I needed: a no-nonsense, staunch, morally upstanding lawyer, who would adamantly fight for me. Though courtroom results proved to be only a small fraction of what it meant to have Ron on my side. More importantly, he was genuinely concerned for my wellbeing, exemplified by the constant kindness and compassion he showed me. His intention was not solely to win my case; he was equally, if not more determined to make sure I regained as much use in my hand as I could. While winning my case would provide me with the financial means to obtain necessary medical treatment in the future, Ron and his staff were steadfast in their search and didn’t waste any time before getting me to the best doctors throughout the course of my litigation process, ensuring that I got the immediate medical attention necessary to reduce my ever-present pain, help me regain mobility, and break me free from the defensive nature I’d adopted to protect my hand from further injury. Words cannot express how important time is to someone wrapped up in litigation with an injury such as mine. Procuring treatment was something that could not wait if long-term damage was to be minimized. My health being the top priority made me feel like I was in good hands with Ron and his team at The Law Offices of Ronald M. Papell. What also made me comfortable and confident in my decision to have Ron represent me were the things they did day in and day out. Never was I left uninformed as to the direction of my case– he and his staff always kept me updated about every move they made and where we stood. Nor was I ever left without an explanation in regards to any and every part of the legal process- for which I remain especially thankful. I have the utmost respect for Ron and the way he carries himself, handles his cases, and deals with his clients. He truly is an honest and decorous lawyer. While others insinuated that I should lie, exaggerate or accentuate my condition, Ron forbade such things. His ability to separate what he would do – what he could do – and what is best for his clients is no better exemplified than in the final moments before reaching a settlement in what had become a seemingly endless mediation: when Ron turned to me and confessed that he’d be lying if he didn’t say that he wanted to go to court and do what he does best. I was blown away by the honesty, especially because it was not a statement made in conceit or as a means to dissuade me from a settlement I was agreeable to, but as an earnest admission that he wished he could have done more for me, that I was worth fighting for, and that he wanted to give me his all. For an attorney of such savvy and stature as Ron to put himself second to what was best for me, only goes to speak to his great character and the enduring morality he brings to the practice of law. Ron is an amazing attorney who cares about the well being of his clients, going above and beyond to ensure that their quality of life reaches a higher standard as a result of his counsel. I am eternally grateful for the significant role he has played in my life and wouldn’t think twice about recommending him to anyone in need of legal representation!

The very first time I spoke to Eric about my case was the very first time I felt optimistic about our wrongful death case and that my family and I were in good hands. Not only is Eric a remarkable attorney but he has a conscience and will fight for what is right. I can go on and on about how much a great attorney he is and his compassionate moral character, but there is simply not enough time in the day.

There are reasons that high profile attorneys get to where they are. Eric Dubin returned my email in less than 24 hours. After a short (free consultation), he was immediately honest in saying it wasn't his area of expertise. But he supported me, and even sent words of encouragement, such as "hang in there." PI attorneys get a bad rap from time to time, but there are people like Eric who could (given his well documented trial skills) win probably any case. But he didn't try to be everything to everybody. He was kind, honest, and most of all replied. In fact of all of the attorneys I consulted the one thing that sets these premier attorneys apart is that they actually do call you back. After finding out that a black mold case is not his strongest suit, he never the less was kind, encouraging, and took time to respond to me. By contrast one other supposedly preeminent black mold attorneys who was referred by another attorney (who even made a call on my behalf to get the specific name of the attorney to call, never returned a phone call, nor an email, nor did I ever get an email after filling out one of those utterly annoying "chat now" messages. I've followed Eric's career, and he doesn't talk the talk. He's brilliant, he cares about people, and he is responsive. I hope that I never need an attorney in the areas where he truly excels, but I would go back to him in a moment, and I'd refer him to anyone injured, or unjustly treated.

We hired Eric Dubin to represent us for the wrongful death of our disabled son. Eric treated us with the utmost respect and compassion. Even though he remained sensitive towards us, Eric was a fearless warrior, willing to fight until justice was served. We found Eric to be professional, diligent, bluntly honest, and a creative out-of-the box thinker who was willing to work day and night when needed. We would strongly recommend Eric to anyone who is looking for an attorney who is willing to go the extra mile and has the knowledge to do so. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! M and M

Dawns firm is a power house of hard working professionals. I feel my case could not have been better represented. No lofty promises. Infact just a down to earth approach, with the conviction of a pit bull. Her firm demonstrated a knowledge of the jurisdictions demographic make up in considering the best approach for the best outcome. Was I satisfied with my cases outcome? Hell no. There isn't enough money in the state of California or the whole country to make my losses right. I was completely satisfied with the outcome from Dawn's firm representing me. I believe no other firm could have done a better job or got me more. I not only recommend Dawn, I will make her my first phone call should I need representation in the future. Make her your first phone call.

I have never had to use an attorney prior to my hiring Dawn Hassell and her great team of attorneys at The Hassell Law Group in San Francisco, CA. I am most grateful to have a very good friend refer me to Dawn. From day one, Dawn and her team stepped in to represent me from a point of strength rather than a maybe approach. She went to work immediately to protect me from opposing parties who would have preferred me to make decisions from a point of weakness rather than a point of strength. Dawn and her team of attorneys gave me the advice, the support, the information needed to ensure I made all my decisions to support my case for a just settlement. She went the extra mile to make sure she had all the legal 'ammunition' and follow through available to give as little wiggle room for the opposing party in reaching a very fair resolution to my demands for justice backed up with a strong monetary payout that I could expect given the injuries and suffering I went through as a result of this accident. Even in her wrap up of this case, Dawn continues to give the attention and quality one could expect from professional and compassionate representation. Dawn and her team of attorneys will fight for you all the way. They will safeguard your dignity and will ensure you are well represented from page one to the very end of the case. They will fight for you all the way and will not give up until the last sentence of the last page of the case ends with "...case resolution highly successful benefiting the concerns of the client in every way." I am very happy that I was able to have Dawn Leigh Hassell, Esq. and her team of attorneys at The Hassell Law Group represent me in the complex world of the legal process. When it comes to law and ethics, Dawn is the best. Without a doubt, without a hesitation and with pride and great satisfaction, I highly recommend The Hassel Law Group. Thank you!

Ms Hassell was retained by me after an injury and archived a significant settlement on my behalf. At all times she was professional and efficient, and I was kept well informed and advised despite living on the other side of the world. I was very happy with Ms Hassell's services and the result she achieved for me.

Sean is honest, kind and proactive – he lifted such a huge weight and worry off my shoulders. I felt backed into a corner, trying to defend my daughter and I by getting a restraining order on my own. I was naïve to the court process and thought I could do it on my own. He jumped in right away and helped me to see the situation differently to release the upset and worry. He worked with the other side to put out the fire rather than inflame it to run up his own fees. Sean’s integrity shines and I have to say…. How empowering to hear the other attorney squirm when she recognized his name!

I was prepared to write a good review for Sean Patrick because I could sense from the get-go that he is refreshingly honest and well intentioned but I was not prepared to write such a phenomenal review. I was truly blown away by his performance in the courtroom. Sean was retained very late in the game and a continuance was unfortunately denied but he did not appear to be any less prepared than he would have been otherwise. He was also not up against just one attorney but two on the other side, one of whom I understand has a 60 page resume and is "the best of the best" in what he does. Despite such impressive and intimidating representation from the other party, Sean held a perfectly calm assertiveness and nailed every point on its head to an extent that I honestly just did not expect. The other two attornies together probably cost 3 times what Sean cost yet I did not at any time feel that reflected in the trial. Quite the contrary, actually. I share this as a token to Sean for his great work but more importantly because I feel that people need to know who they can trust in the game of retaining attornies. Sean really is one of the "good guys, " which is unfortunately more few and far between than I would like to believe. If you didn't know this already, know it now: it is so incredibly important to walk into any attorney-client relationship with eyes wide open because (let's be honest) there is just so much senseless corruption and dishonesty that tends to be involved. After having been through the whole process with him I can genuinely say that Sean can be trusted. There were opportunities to where he could have taken advantage of the situation and claimed that he was owed more money than he was or created more unnecessary work for himself but he did not. It is refreshing to know that attornies like Sean exist. He is a great choice and absolutely first recommendation on my list.

At the beginning of my legal situation, I was representing myself and went between feeling unsure to fairly confident. This was up until the time when my husband hired a lawyer. I felt completely overwhelmed and actually afraid. Too much was at stake. I knew I was no longer qualified to provide for and protect my children in the court setting. Additionally, I felt completely lost as how to find a lawyer whom I would feel confident in and that could and would help us. Fortunately, a friend of mine had used Mr. Patrick's services and recommended him to me. After meeting with him, I knew he would help protect my children. Mr. Patrick has helped me to feel safe again. I am excited to one day post that all the legal matters are behind me and how Mr. Patrick assisted me and my family in "reaching the other side". To review his services so far, I can honestly say that I have been very pleased with the services and accessibility that Mr. Patrick has provided for and to me and my family.

Choosing The Henderson Law Firm was the best decision my family and I ever made. Michael and all of the Henderson Law Firm staff were extremely helpful. They all truly cared about me, my family and how we were all suffering from my injuries I had received. They all fought hard for us. Decision making was easy for me because of how I was kept informed and given the proper information to make the right decisions. We eventually settled our case avoiding going to court.

Being in a lawsuit is truly no fun, most aren't familiar with terms used, the process, and realistic expectations of results. Mr. Henderson, upon first meeting him was very thorough and set the expectations as to what would become of my actual result(s). He made sure to never over-promise and/or likewise under deliver. Although my case resulted in a favorable settlement for my case, I have no doubt this was more to do with whom I chose as my representation...Mr. Henderson. I would advise anyone looking for a candid, detail oriented, and trustworthy legal counsel; to look no further than Henderson Law.

Although our case did not squarely fit into Michael’s normal realm of personal injury, he welcomed us to his caseload and assisted us in finding what we felt was justice in a complicated case. When seeking an attorney of any kind, it is likely an emotionally charged and difficult time. Michael has a calming presence and straightforward approach. He was clear about expectations and process which was very helpful and appeased my anxiety. Michael and his staff were knowledgeable, thorough and most importantly- honest and responsive. I never had to wait to hear from him. He kept me apprised of status at all times. He was straightforward, diligent and steadfast in getting us a fair judgment. Adrienne was also extremely responsive and helpful and had the same thoughtful approach to communication. I am satisfied with the outcome of the case and would highly recommend Michael.

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Theo, and I cannot express enough gratitude for his unwavering dedication, compassion, and belief in justice. After being turned down by nearly 30 attorneys and told repeatedly that pursuing my father’s case was pointless, I was on the verge of giving up. Hospitals denied any wrongdoing, and others dismissed the case as unwinnable. But Attorney Theo was different. From the moment he took on the case, he believed in the truth and the fight for justice. Without asking for anything in return, he stood by my side when no one else would, giving me hope when I felt most defeated. His kindness and understanding, paired with his expertise, proved to be exactly what I needed. In the end we won the case. Attorney Theo isn’t just an extraordinary lawyer; he’s a true advocate for people like me—ordinary individuals fighting for justice in the face of overwhelming odds. His dedication brought justice to my family, and I truly believe he was an instrument sent to help in our darkest hour. He restored my faith in the legal system and in the power of good people making a difference. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for you with heart and skill, look no further than Attorney Theo. I am confident that he will continue to help many others find justice and peace, just as he did for my family. Thank you, Theo, for being a beacon of hope and for proving that justice isn’t only for the wealthy, but for anyone brave enough to seek it. With deepest appreciation, Harvin

My husband and I were very fortunate to have met Theo Emison and have him represent us in a medical malpractice case. He is not only knowledgeable and an expert in his field, but is very thorough, timely in his responses to questions that we asked, accommodating, caring, and compassionate as well. We felt well cared for by Theo during our depositions with the opposing counsel. He made a very painful situation more bearable and our lives  less stressful. Theo was able to get us a good settlement, and avoid litigation as well! We can’t express our gratitude enough for everything he did for us. It was a pleasure meeting and working with him.

Theo represented our family in a lawsuit against the City and County of SF. It was an emotional case as it involved the death of our father. From beginning to end, Theo demonstrated an extraordinary amount of compassion, professionalism and competence that made us feel like we were in very good hands. He earned our complete trust by handling our questions, concerns and doubts with patience and honest information. He guided us through an extremely difficult process with poise and grace. We felt that he engaged us in a true partnership to meet our goals of holding CCSF accountable and enacting policy change at CCSF to minimize the chance that a similar harm would come to other citizens of SF in the future. We highly recommend Theo and his team.

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.
