I asked a friend as I was facing a hard time, and was looking for an experienced immigration attorney. She told me that she knew a few, but Jan Albrecht had already assisted her brother and so she suggested me to address him. I couldn't thank her more!
From the first time, Jan's responses were direct and to the point. He told me that my case was not an easy one, but we would fight together. And indeed, he did so, he fought as if he was I. We had a very satisfying cooperation, where he was calm enough to instruct me properly, and his confident and cool attitude to the case smoothed my anxiety too. He has amazing professionalism and intelligence, to identify the strong and weak points of everyone's case and decide the appropriate steps to the success. However, he is receptive to his client's opinion, and doesn't act on his own.
The results of our cooperation were amazing, as we overturned a situation that, to be honest, I didn't even know how many chances of success had. To conclude, I was absolutely delighted to cooperate with Jan Albrecht, and I am perfectly sure that he will continue to make his lucky clients happy.

Myself and my former roommates worked with Arthur in order to resolve a dispute with our former landlord. Arthur worked directly with us and was consistently attentive and professional throughout the process. He did an excellent job of explaining all applicable laws and procedures, thereby making the process far less stressful than we were expecting. Additionally, he helped us reach a highly favorable conclusion to the matter in a relatively short period of time and for very reasonable fees. I would highly recommend Arthur to anybody dealing with similar disputes and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

Dan represented my Wife subsequent to a rear-end auto collision that caused her significant physical harm. He worked tirelessly, over the period of a year, to achieve a reasonable settlement. Dan knows the Law and how to achieve the best outcome for his clients.

I've been a client of Dan's for over a year now. Dan dug so deep into my case, within the first month, he made discoveries that my previous lawyer (who I was with for over a year) didn't even look into. Dan and Billie leave no stone unturned. Billie is amazing at organizing information and breaking things down in a way that it doesn't feel so overwhelming. They took care of getting all of my records and thoroughly learning about my case. You don't feel like just a client at Malis Law. Dan is incredibly knowledgeable and gifted at breaking down legal jargon so it is easily understood. Dan and Billie have gone above and beyond, to make me feel at ease and confident that I am in great hands. I would (and do) recommend Malis Law to anyone dealing with a legal issue. It's a scary world I was completely unfamiliar with until someone recommended that I give Dan a call. It was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I could have made for myself.

Attorney Malis took my case and from day one organized what needs to be done. After numerous attempts to get my insurance information by me. Dan was able to cut through the bull and got it done in one phone call. He gave me the confidence to keep up the fight until it was resolved amicably.. I highly recommended him to anyone who needs a personal attorney.

Mr. Shaw represented me in a completely unfair murder case and overturned the conviction. He is totally different from most lawyers. He is one in a million! What sets him apart is his authenticity and thoughtfulness. He is as real as they come. What you see is what you get. He wears his being on his sleeve. He will never mislead you for his benefit. He has a great concern for his clients which is the catalyst for his strong work ethic. I would definitely recommend Mr. Shaw to anyone who is trying to win their case. He works hard, is honest, transparent, knowledgeable, and responsive. He has a methodical approach about him that makes you feel safe and secure about his informed decisions. He is the best in the business!

Many qualities set Mr. Shaw apart. He has incredible attention to detail, time management, great communication, he is humble, and easy to approach. Mr. Shaw likes to speak with his clients and family members himself. We do not need to call his office, we call his personal cellphone and email him, we like that we feel this connection with the attorney. He is so patient, we would ask the same question over and over again and he would not be bothered to repeat and help us understand the process. Mr. Shaw is not business as usual like most attorneys. He feels as part of our family. He doesn't push us away, he is not rushed to get off the phone when we are constantly calling him. He worries about our family's emotional well being. He never hides the negative or the positive, but he explains everything honestly so there is no confusion or misunderstanding. I would recommend Mr. Shaw 100%.

Robert Shaw represented me in a very serious murder case where I was wrongfully convicted and won. I was sentenced to life in prison. He was very strategic and efficient. He put 110% into every aspect of my case. He was open minded to my thoughts and broke down each issues effortlessly. The first word that comes to mind when I think of him is integrity. His heart is in his work. It's not just a job or career. He truly cares about his client and fights for them to get justice.

I was impressed by the quickness and rapidity at which Ian Keefe (attorney) and Altman and Altman was able to respond to our urgent request for representation. They jumped on the issue, provided a clear plan of action, and then began following through on that plan in a matter of hours, clearly communicating what we could expect. Ian demonstrated significant depth for the issue and showed experience in the matter, leading to the best outcome.

Attorney Ian Keefe is quite simply the best lawyer available in the Boston area for driver's license issues, traffic court, and clerk magistrate hearings.
Ian was able to get my case dismissed in one appearance in just minutes.
Just as important, he instilled confidence and peace of mind leading up to hearing.
I interviewed about 20 lawyers for my case it was clear that no one was better qualified or could take better care of me than Ian.
I give Ian my highest recommendation.

Ian deserves more than the five stars. I hired him to help me with a restraining order. He wrote down every detail of my story and cared about every detail. He answered calls quickly and reassured the extreme anxiety I had. It was his attention to detail and real empathy that won my second attempt at an RO. He has since followed through with the state to make sure I am treated fairly in the criminal case against my abuser. He didn't have to do that. Excellent lawyer and such a nice person. You will not be sorry!

I engaged the services of Altman & Altman after my recent bike accident, and they have been amazingly efficient, knowledgeable, professional, and functioned as my advocate with the insurance company to get me the fairest settlement possible. Anthony O'Connor was assigned to my case, and he kept me apprised of progress every step of the way. He offered what I would label "valet service" in terms of making every part of the process easy for me. He ensured that all medical bills were covered, followed up on each property damage portion of the claim (re: my bicycle equipment), and he successfully negotiated the best settlement available given the constraints of the insurance company. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Anthony, and I highly recommend him as a top-notch legal advocate.

Rick and his team were complete crackerjacks for what I know was a tedious and arduous case. After being dropped by my original attorney, Rick gladly took my case and assured me I was in good hands. He came through in a major way.
They were responsive and ultimately effective against what was the most difficult insurance issue I have ever faced.
Not only would I use them again but I will be referring anyone I know in need of services.

As landlords, we contracted Erica to review our existing lease and modify as she saw necessary. There were definitely a few sections that we were missing in our agreement. She was quick to pick up on that and amend appropriately for any future tenants. She was very prompt in reviewing the lease and return the modified version for our review. Her time and cost estimate were very reasonable and competitive.
Working with Erica on this small project was an absolute pleasure!

I am not very good at words. I was involved in a horrible accident. David and his team (Thank You Asia & Rick) are wonderful, talented and compassionate.

I was in a really bad car accident back in 2010 and the insurance guys were giving me such a hard time. I wasn't getting anything resolved except denial of their responsibility. I found Altman & Altman and I met with Dave after meeting with two other law firms. I was very impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail I was given with Dave's firm. I made the right choice by hiring Dave to handle my case. He handled all disputes with the insurance company, sorting out all my bills, keeping me updated, and in the end delivered as promised. I would totally recommend this guy and his team. You're in good hands when you got these guys on your side. Like he says "they are the best lawyers in Boston"....Thanks Again man.

Over the almost 4 year period since we hired Jonas Jacobson, he has very professional in his service and diligent in his work on my case. The case was due to Wells Fargo wrongly foreclosing on my home in Lexington, Mass and Jacobson succeeded in taking all the necessary steps to handle this less-than-ideal situation, worked out a very good settlement agreement with Wells Fargo (after having to do a long appeal) and just today handled the closing so that we have paid off this bank, severing our connection with them and salvaging our over $200,000 of equity that would have been lost otherwise. I am extremely grateful to have found Jonas Jacobson and I can personally say the he is the most honest, fair and dedicated lawyer I have ever worked with. I highly recommend him for similar cases or others that he handles.

I think Attorney Whelan is an exceptional lawyer. He attended court with me as a continuance kept dragging the case on. He worked hard for me and it was the best possible outcome. I have never met an attorney that has worked so hard to get what is the most fair outcome. I am greatful that he is such a hard worker as a public defender.

Amazing attorney and great person.
Mr.House not only believed in me, he provided me the best defense.
The court officers even told me when I was in the back that this “this is the guy you want. Trust me.”
When I asked them about him.
And they were right. Jameson swiftly got my case dismissed due to exculpatory evidence on my cell phone.
I would give 6 stars if I could.

Working with Nadeua Harkavy, LLC firm has been an exceptional experience. Not only did they meticulously handle my case and provide expert representation. I was kept well-informed about every step my case underwent, as they maintained consistent communication to share relevant information. I distinctly remember my chiropractor facing issues with health insurance not covering the treatment expenses, yet Keren and her team adeptly resolved this matter as well. Their professionalism and friendliness are truly commendable. Karen is the best in my opinion, and I would recommend her services. Thank you for making this a very easy and simple process.

I cannot imagine better attorneys. I was in an accident with a long recovery period and they were by my side the whole way. Their knowledge helped me through things I never could have navigated on my own. Leslie and Karen were patient, kind, and supportive of me for over a year until my case was settled. It could have been one of the worst experiences of my life, instead, they handled all of my bills and paperwork, listened compassionately, and fought to get me the settlement I deserved. I am forever grateful and can't recommend them strongly enough.

We hired Lizz after parting ways with our previous lawyer due to lack of diligence. It was the best decision we made. Lizz genuinely cared about our case and delivered exceptional results. We're thrilled to have received approval for our 212(a) waiver.
Lizz's dedication and expertise made all the difference. Her personalized approach and attention to detail ensured our application was thoroughly prepared.
We're grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled immigration attorney.

The best thing about Liz is that she really cares about your case. She is responsive, attentive, and encouraging. I have worked with other lawyers in the past and interaction was limited and negative. On the other hand, Liz always responds promptly; she even flew in for my second interview that was scheduled very last minute! My case had previous immigration complications that many lawyers didn’t want to take on. Liz said we should give it a try and though it was a long journey, I finally have green card in hand. She adequately prepared me for and accompanied the interview and carefully put the applications together. As a result, I didn’t even get a RFE for the case that others said would require 601A waiver. She always goes above and beyond and you can be assured you are taken care of. I can’t recommend her enough!

Derege is a superhero and a super lawyer!

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
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.
