I was in a traumatizing and debilitating traffic collision. I found Nicole and company through a friend of a friend. I had multiple injuries that were preventing me from living my life and maintaining my responsibilities. My injuries were more than intimidating, and my situation was extremely overwhelming and confusing. Nicole gave me peace of mind through effective communication and always making herself available when I would freak out about my situation. Her assertive and reassuring demeanor made me feel confident that everything was going to work out. I don't know how I would have survived this without Nicole and her associates. They made the entire process feel almost effortless, and by "process," I mean three years of medical appointments, physical therapy, surgery, more therapy, etc. Despite having to endure all of that, I had conviction that everything would be okay, even when I was on bed rest and could barely walk. I can't adequately express how positive my experience has been with Nicole and her associates. We're almost done with the entire process, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Nicole delivered! My injuries were treated by amazing physicians, and I'm anticipating a full recovery! All of my medical bills are paid, and I have more than enough to compensate for my expenses incurred because of the traffic collision. The best part of it all is Nicole didn't make me feel like a client or paycheck. She expressed genuine concern every step of the way and explained every possible avenue and their respective possible outcomes. She made me feel like a priority, and didn't push me to do anything. I am more than impressed with the exceptional quality of care I received through the entire process. I hope I never have to experience a personal injury like this ever again, but I know exactly who I'm going to call if I do.

I feel very fortunate to have been recommended to Nicole Lari-Joni and her partner Torsten Bassell. When faced with personal tragedy and an overwhelming loss it is difficult to have the energy and know-how to navigate through legal action as well. My case had the additional challenge of working with estranged family members and their counsel. I wanted to make sure my voice was heard and my interests were upheld. Nicole put me at ease immediately. She is very personable and trustworthy and I knew she had my best interests at heart. Ms. Lari-Joni and Mr. Bassell provided the interface and worked well with the other counsel. They handled my case with professionalism and control as well as compassion. Ms. Lari-Joni has proven successes in these types of cases and added to that success by achieving the most optimal outcome for my case as well.

I was in an accident a few years back and got badly injured. Unfortunately, I made the silly decision of handling my claim with the insurance company myself at first. After the insurance company strung me along for months though, I decided to hire a lawyer and I asked a friend if he knew anybody good. He recommended Torsten and Nicole, who had helped my friend out in the past. When I called Torsten and Nicole, I wasn't sure what I'd be getting into. I'd never had a lawyer before, but they talked to me about my case on the phone and then we met in person and I felt at ease. They never pushed me to do anything and were happy to meet with me to discuss my case whether I hired them or not. Of course, I ended up retaining them, and I couldn't be happier. Nicole and Torsten worked so hard for me on my case and ended up filing a lawsuit and battling with the insurance company for about a year in court. Along the way, the insurance company kept tossing BS offers at us and I was getting really frustrated with the entire process. It seemed that the insurance company would never pay me what I deserved. But Torsten and Nicole kept assuring me that the insurance company would come up with more money and that this was just the game they always played with people's lives. It turns out, they were right. After pushing and pushing through the lawsuit, the insurance company finally gave in and offered me a great settlement a few weeks before trial just as Torsten and Nicole predicted. Obviously, I'm happy that I got the money I deserved. But I was even happier with who got me the money. Torsten and Nicole were not just my lawyers. They were my friends. They took the time to listen to me and understand my problems and they stood up for me until the end. There were ups and downs for me emotionally throughout the process, and if it weren't for them, I'd probably have broken down completely and taken one of the insurance company's BS offers. In the end, I know I got what I deserved because of Nicole and Torsten. They are wonderful people and made me feel confident that I had great attorneys in my corner.

My story started with a personal injury case where I called several different lawyers who wouldn't return my calls. I ended up with a lawyer who I was not fond of who dropped the ball on several occasions. However, one day I came across Mr. Novak's page and I gave him a call. I am so thrilled with how the entire case was handled! Sean picked up the pieces and with the help of his team he got everything handled with no issues whatsoever. Thanks to him I can get started on a path to recovery. Sean is a hero!

Sean Novak and I crossed paths in 2005 after I'd knocked my head on many walls with one roadblock after another and then lo and behold the skies parted and Sunshine arrived through the clouds in Sean Novak which was a blessing to behold which I did not at that time realize how significant in the long run this would be proven to be true at the time it was such a relief considering all that I'd gone through, However as time tells pretty much all what was revealed that this a lifelong significant Blessing of our crossing paths through our case travails along with the travels they have brought consequentially together to bring about resolutions ,Not only is he personable and attentive to your concerns unlike many others he does not just hear you he more importantly listens to your comments with an empathetic understanding take ownership solution minded approach in consideration as he is visualizing how he will approach the case to like an Superstar athlete win Game, As I've learned over the years through the multiple battles that he and i have stood side by side to endure the most positive outcomes I could have ever imagined and through it all as a result of the due diligence and committed mindset that Sean Novak applies to each and everyone of his clients with welcoming arms which each and everyone of those I've recommended over the years can also attest to when you want the best because your case requires the peace of mind from knowing that you've an attorney who cares and will go to bat for you when the road gets rough and not abandon you and or leave you hanging,Sean Novak is your Man. When a Friend or Family member mentions to me they have a personal injury matter I do not even pause with a moment of thought as I say to them with complete and utter confidence that I've done the correct thing by referring them to Sean Novak, I'll provide the individual Sean's contact information and as well get in touch with Sean and offer him their information as well so that there will be two way communication established. Then from this point forward I can rest in peace that Sean Novak, Will apply his extraordinary skill and research combined with communication capabilities to their matter as he's successfully preformed with my cases which I'm thoroughly satisfied with the outcomes of each case that he has been at the helm as I'm confident that he is the Best there is at what he does and when you need the best to Shepard your case Sean Novak would be the Attorney I recommend with the utmost confidence that you hire.

I had been turned down by other lawyers; told my Case was going to fail, “based on years of experience.” I kept looking and then I told Scott my story. He believed in my case and her believed in me. He worked on my issue for three years while the insurance company found every possible bogus excuse to create obstacles and delay the process. We won the case and that is because I had right in my side and Scott not only saw it, but ACTED on it, for which I will be forever grateful.

Words cannot express how truly grateful I am because of Mr. Scott Kalkin. Unfortunately I had multiple upper extremity surgeries in 2012 which left me disabled and unable to work. I had to utilize my long term disability policy from my employer that I paid for since 2000. I did not understand at the time that I purchased an Erisa plan which is a very complex and difficult to understand policy. My doctors were wonderful at documenting my condition and filling out mounds of paperwork that advised my long term carrier that I was clearly disabled and unable to work. Unfortunately this did not matter to my long term carrier. I was advised by my carrier in 2013 that I was no longer eligible for my much needed medical benefits due to the Erisa laws and I would be receiving a letter with an explanation on how to appeal in the mail soon. Needless to say, I felt defeated and exhausted. I did extensive research on long term disability attorneys and decided to call Mr. Scott Kalkin at Roboostoff and Kalkin. Not only was Mr. Scott Kalkin kind and understanding but he took the time to explain the complexities of having a long term policy governed by Erisa. Mr. Scott Kalkin is extremely knowledgeable and is an expert on all of the complexities of long term disability policies. I’m happy to say that after hiring Mr. Scott Kalkin in 2013, he contacted my long term and to this day, which is now 2019, I am still receiving the much needed benefits that I deserve. He removed the burden and frustrations of having to personally deal with my long term carrier. It is so refreshing to have a wonderful attorney like Mr. Scott Kalkin on my side and working with my long term disability carrier to ensure that I am being treated fairly and at the same time allow me the much needed time to heal from my injuries, which is a blessing. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation where you need someone to advocate for you in regards to your long term disability policy, especially a complicated Erisa plan, I highly recommend Mr. Scott Kalkin. He is highly educated, intelligent, experienced and a very knowledgeable attorney that not only understands the law but will advocate for you every step of the way. I can truly say if it was not for my hiring Mr. Scott Kalkin and allowing him to take over and advocate for me in 2013, I can safely say that I would not have my much needed medical benefits today. I cannot thank him enough. He is truly a lifesaver.

Scott has been my attorney for over 20 years. I am permanently disabled, and he knew exactly what to do to win benefits for me in a complex ERISA case. I've been fortunate to have him as my legal representative ever since. He took -- and still takes -- every extra step needed to protect my rights. He knows how to accommodate my special needs and make legal proceedings as easy as possible for me. He's extremely knowledgeable, professional, meticulous, compassionate, and reliable.

I hired Mr. Colllins for my child support modification. I am happy that I hired Mr. Collins. He got right to work with a pending deadline to respond, and listened to all my cares and concerns and voiced them for me at court. I've been to court for this same exact reason before without representation, and I know for a fact the outcome would've been different without Mr. Collins. I consulted with other attorneys prior to speaking with David, but he's the only one that gave me hope and that can mean a lot during stressful times. Mr. Collins fought for me in that courtroom, and if that's what you're looking for, I strongly recommend David.

He does not promise what he cannot deliver, unlike other lawyers. He is handling my divorce case. His pricing is reasonable. He does not try to break your bank account in the process with unexpected costs for his services. David is very personable with his relationship with his client. He is easy to talk to, and easy to get in touch with. Even after hours. Overall, I am very satisfied with my business relationship with David. The guy has integrity, he has ethics.

Excellent experience from beginning to end. Thank you William!!! I was in a car accident back in August of last year and felt completely overwhelmed and helpless. I knew I was not at fault and didn't know where to start. I didn't have an attorney but found Deon from searching online and reading reviews. From our initial consultation I knew I was in good hands with William. Even though my case wasn't a huge one, he didn't hesitate at all to help me. He always made me feel taken care of, helped me find amazing doctors, responded quickly, kept me updated, communicated consistently, and was professional and respectful.

I have hired Mr. Vent to deal with several different matters and, in fact, have referred a friend to him. Sean is extraordinary in several areas, notably comprehension of complex matters, retention of details, ability to assess the legal aspects of a case and explain it to the client, as well as in his ability to provide information that allows the client to settle or to move forward. Of great importance to me is that he actually answers the phone or responds to a message the same day, often the same hour. This is unique amongst all of the MANY MANY MANY attorneys I have hired over my long life, regardless of the area of specialty.. Being involved in ANY legal issues and/or litigation is always frustrating. I strongly recommend Sean to any person looking to limit the aggravation of dealing with attorneys, litigation and legal matters, yet be thoroughly satisfied with the highly competent and professional representation that he offers. Call him NOW. You will be happy with his representation. We certainly were!.

Yes, even attorneys need a good attorney sometimes…. Thank you, Vent Legal! While in law school, I was hit by a car while riding my bike. My expensive bike and laptop were ruined, and I quickly racked up some chiropractic bills. A hired a "big shot" personal injury attorney who sat on the case for 2 years before getting disbarred. The deadlines for my case were expiring, and my claim was sinking faster than the Titanic. A friend recommended I call Sean Vent for help. Sean allowed me to explain my case and its issues, outlined realistic goals, and quickly developed a plan to save my claim. Sean took on the big insurance company that believed it had all but buried my case. Sean's communication with me was excellent, as he continually kept me in the loop on all aspects of my case. He took a 2.5 year old sinking claim, and settled it to my satisfaction within 3 weeks. Sean's fee was very reasonable. In addition, he worked with my chiropractor on the bill. If you're in need of a personal injury lawyer, especially for a car accident or bike accident, then I definitely recommend Sean Vent of Vent Legal.

I am the plaintiff in a pending new wrongful termination case. I am exceptionally well documented in my evidence against the defendant. So, when I 'shopped the case around' with several attorneys by phone & email, there was much interest. But Mr Olsen showed much more than interest in my story; he was invested in it. He was genuinely aggrieved and indignant that my company had fired me after I caught management forging my inspector's stamp & signature on FAA certs. That was just what I wanted. I hired him immediately. The case is just beginning but to this point Mr. Olsen has shown himself to be a motivated and aggressive attorney. I'm glad I found him.

I was recently in a difficult--and frankly, scary--dispute with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others. I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably. If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

I've never been in an car accident in my life, either as a driver or pedustrian until one night on my way to work. As I was crossing the street a car came around the corner and hit me and dragged me down the street. It left me with a dislocated arm, head and face injuries. I was hospitalized for 6 days and couldn't return to work. I hired a lawyer who I could tell did not have my best interest at heart and would not answer my calls or emails. It's bad enough I'm in a healing process and now I felt hit by him too. So I fired him and hired another firm who had Jeff Crissman to represent my case. In no time soon Jeff hit the floor running. Was he a Godsend. Before I knew it the case was settled and over with. All of my medical bills were paid and I was also compensated as well. To anyone that needs an honest and the best at what he does attorney please hire Jeff Crissman. I can't thank him enough for all he did for me...Marilyn

I live outside of the state and contacted Ewing Law Group when I was faced with a stressful, frustrating case and a very short time frame that would require them to travel to another county. I spoke with Jason Ewing, and during our very first conversation it became clear that he is an honest person of integrity. I explained my situation, and he took the time to answer all of my initial questions, then advised me that he could take my case but that it would be cheaper for me to choose someone closer to the county where my case was filed. Knowing my financial situation, he also offered to help me complete paperwork myself, but in the end, I asked him to take the case to avoid the stress, and I am so glad I did. Through the course of working with Jason, he was very professional, but I felt more like I was communicating with a friend than simply an attorney. I never felt rushed, or that he was “squeezing me in”, even though I had a deadline coming up when I contacted him. He was very knowledgeable, and was always willing to answer any and all of my questions, no matter how annoying I’m sure they were. I tend to worry but he never discouraged my “what if” questions and was patient and understanding of all my concerns. He took the time to break things down into simple terms and make sure that I understood things clearly. I was impressed with his consistent promptness in returning calls and emails – there are attorneys who figure once they have your money, you are basically stuck, so you can wait until they get around to dealing with your situation. He informed me that he believes if he is being paid to perform a service, he owes it to his clients to address their concerns as soon as possible, which is something I really respect. He was very thorough, and I appreciated that if I sent him an email, he made a point to address each issue individually – I never had to email him again or call him back because something was overlooked. Jason went above and beyond in my case, and we got the outcome we wanted. I would not hesitate to recommend Ewing Law Group to my friends and family, and would call him immediately if I ever needed legal assistance in the state of California in the future.

My wife and I who are senior citizens found ourselves in the grips of grave injustice's being waged against us . We were renting a home from a landlord who made our lives a living hell by failing to provide safe and habitable conditions, and then persecuting us for simply asking management to fix the problems. After my wife became very ill and had to be taken to the emergency room because her airway was closing and she couldn't breath due to the landlord failing to provide safe living conditions , we contacted a law firm. Jason Ewing and his co counsel Janet Haines handled our case with surgical precision, They listened to us and made us at ease, They immediately went to work for us, setting us at ease along the way, Jason and Janet guided us through the complicated litigation process comfortably, they took on what would be a complex muti- layered case, and with their experience, tenacity,and dedication to their clients they sought justice from the mighty insurance industry and a grizzly bear of an opposing counsel, With Jason and Janet's resolve, integrity, honesty, and an unyielding spirit of determination, we were successful in winning our case. Jason and Janet slew the dragon and proved there are angels among us. Thank you Jason and Janet.

I recently found myself in immediate need of legal advice regarding my landlord's refusal to allow a family member to move into my apartment. A good friend referred me to Greg Martin and I am incredibly glad she did! Greg and his team quickly scheduled a time to talk and then walked me through my options. The advice they gave was crucial in ultimately getting my landlord to capitulate. Greg was very very clear and concise in his directions and seemed very invested in my case. I hope to never have to refer any friends/family for his services, but I would do so in a heartbeat if needed. Thanks Greg!

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Naylor for the past 13 years on different cases. I first contacted Mr. Naylor shortly after my husband suffered a work related injury while working as a formen on the waterfront. Sadly our case escalated from a work comp. injury to a wrongful death case within days and needless to say, reaching a settlemet not just with the employer but with one of the big three auto manufacturers took time. He was prompt to inform me of our rights under work comp. laws and made sure our benefits where in good standing at all time. He was engaged and sought assitance from other coucil when needed and remained the liaison when ever needed between, the employer, benefits office and any other council involved. In all my years of working with attorneys, both work related and on a personal level, he is one of the most reliable and honest attorneys I've had the pleasure of working with. His staff is polite and very efficient and always willing to help when Mr. Naylor is not available. I have refered multiple friends and previous buisness contacts to him throughout the years and would not hesitate to call on him again, should I find my self in need of someone with his expertise.

I can usually get him to call back right away, unless he is in court and responds to every email I send. He is prompt with delivery of updates and sends copies of any contact to all parties involved with the case. He is very dependable and easy to talk to about things.

I have used Richard Fahey for several different concerns, including a dispute arising out of a construction project. He is also very knowledgeable in working with agencies pertaining to social services. Richard is an extremely honest individual. Prior to retaining him, he listened to my problems and attempted to help me via several phone calls without charge. After it was evident that I needed to retain an attorney, he has always displayed the utmost in professionalism. Richard is versed in a wide variety of subjects, however should he need additional resources, he meticulously researches the area in question. He is able to be assertive when necessary and has excellent writing skills. In aquiring the information necessary to represent me, he was meticulous in ensuring that he received all the important facts prior to our hearing. I would recommend him highly.

Got pulled over for expired registration tag and lead to a DUI Check which i had barely drank and being in Irvine with IPD doesn't help much either, as they push and push with their aggressive tactics to get you to do all they ask. Even when the odds were against me I was referred to him by a friend and to say the least he comforted me during the whole process and was very responsive and always checked in with me.

I received a DUI, even though I don't think I was drunk. I was pulled over after leaving a club in Hollywood. The officer pulled me over and said I was driving too fast and then continued to do a sobriety check on me. I hired Masih and he represented me from the DMV hearing all the way to the trial. My case was resolved without a DUI due to Masih's work. I never thought they'd drop the case, Masih got them to!!! I highly recommend him, he was worth more than I paid him!

I was recently in a difficult--and frankly, scary--dispute with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others. I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably. If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

Beverly is very professional, honest, fair, and will not waste your time or money. Beverly keeps you informed, and will honestly tell you, your options allowing you to make the best informed decision. Beverly plays no games, she is all business. Our case was highly litigated, and full of useless emails back and forth, pointless arguing, of course an extension of the recent divorce. Beverly would not respond to emails she was copied on, unless needed to protect our legal rights, or enforce an agreement. Beverly is very professional, and knows what she is doing, the attorney she was dealing with on the opposing side, was less professional, and honestly sort of comical, but Beverly stayed focused and prevailed at everything we asked for her assistance with in our case. Beverly was able to over-turn a full physical custody to 50/50, obtained orders to protect my rights as a parent, and get financial obligations calculated based on fair division. Beverly had to do all this with the opposing party not forthcoming. Best Attorney in NAPA!

I had the misfortune of running head on into a tractor in the dark at night who was as driving on the wrong side of a country roadway without proper lighting, creating a hazard. My head slammed into the windshield and I haven't felt the same since.  The tractor operator denied liability, said that other motorists went around him, the accident was my fault.  The idiot nearly killed me. My lawyer Nate James and his awesome case manager, contacted their insurance carrier with a demand for $250,000 before we filed the lawsuit.  The insurance company offered me $750. I'm posting their offer so you can see it for yourself. Nate and his team went to work and the job they did was phenomenal. They found me the medical care I needed. Because I was without health insurance for a long time, I never really treated, and suffered in silence. To make it more complicated, I moved from Brentwood California up to Tacoma Washington. I started a family. I was working as a manager. To the outside world I looked fine, but I wasn't. God bless Nate's legal team. They found me doctors to treat my brain and back injuries. They got the case ready for trial. They even animated the tractor/El Camino collision. They had faith in me and my injuries and my case and they put in thousands of dollars to make it viable One month before trial the insurance company paid me $500,000.00 That's a whole lot better than $750. Thank you Nate and your awesome case manager George. What a great job your team did. I can't say enough good things about Nate James Law in Brentwood, California (Contra Costa County).  Thank you Nate and George.  With this settlement I'm going to be able to buy a home for my family and I know there will be security for my beautiful son and wife.

Nathan James has been my attorney since the early 90s. He spent six months negotiating a deal between myself and Capital Records in New York City, just to show and prove what an excellent attorney he is. He knocked that negotiation and those contracts out of the park. Since that time, he made partner at his firm. Well deserved. He has continued to show his prowess ever since. Having won major litigation cases for my wife, and different friends and family over the years. Nathan is a bonafide winner. Extremely diligent and meticulous in his practice. Nathan earned my full confidence when we first met, and has maintained it steadfastly ever since. I’m proud to write this review, in the hope that more people will be become aware that trusting in Nathan James is a smart move. Thank you Nathan for years of excellent legal representation and batting 1000 for us. Sincerely.

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.
