Timothy was amazing. I called him on the phone and he told me some really funny jokes. I knew this was the lawyer for me. We met at a poolhall to discuss my case. I offered to buy him a drink, but he politely declined. We ordered some pizza, and the waitress got the order wrong and brought us buffalo wings. I was pretty mad and was about to complain but Timothy told me to relax. It's evident that he really respects people. I gave Timothy a high five and he told me about some great movies. We also talked a bit more about my case. In the end, Timothy said that he couldn't take my case for personal reasons. I was a bit saddened by this but I understood. I appreciated his professionalism and thought it was a great experience even though I did not retain him. I highly recommend him.

Words can not describe how grateful I am to the entire team at The Law Offices of Tim O'Hare. In April 2017, I suffered from a personal injury that resulted in two major surgeries, one in-office procedure, and countless physical therapy sessions. The toll that this injury took on not only my finances but my mental and physical health is something that I am still struggling with two and a half years later, but thanks to Tim, Dustin, David and the rest of the team I am able to finally to start to heal from the tragic incident that had occurred.
After the incident took place I was afraid to seek out help to see what options I had, but rest assured I am thankful every day that I found these incredible individuals. Every step of the way I felt secure, safe, and heard, and every question, no matter how silly it may have been, was answered with the utmost respect and detail. If you want a team that makes you feel as though you are part of a family, do not look any further than The Law Offices of Tim O’Hare. Every single person treated me as though we were long-time friends and the immediate comfort that I felt each and every time I walked into the office is something that I still appreciate.
When you are going through a legal circumstance, it can be a very stressful process to work through. I can’t even fathom what this process would have been like had I not had the team that I had. Every single person worked tirelessly for over two years to get me the settlement that they thought I deserved, and the way that they took care of me along the way has had me in awe since the very beginning.
Please, if you are seeking legal representation give The Law Offices of Tim O’Hare a call. I promise you that you will not find more trustworthy, compassionate, loving, selfless, sincere, intelligent and hard-working individuals to help you through this process. My life is forever changed in such a positive way because of the team, and I am so ecstatic for the future.

My experience with Tim O'Hare and his office was nothing short of amazing. I was involved in my first car wreck and had no idea where to start. With so many personal injury lawyers out there I was unsure of who to choose. I came across Tim's office and set up a consultation. From start to finish they made the process so seamless and easy. They maintained constant communication throughout the entire process and im so grateful I chose them to handle my case. Tim, Dustin and Martha are the most genuine people I have met and I am more than happy with the final result of my case!!

Attorney Withrow represented me in a civil matter. He did a good job. I was pleased and pleasantly surprised with his efforts and his attention to detail. He did ALL that he said he would do and he represented me in a fair and timely manner. In lieu of merely taking my money and providing me with something close to nothing in terms of genuine service, I got the full," benefit of my bargain."
At first, I was skeptical and guarded with serious reservations about having him represent me and I trusted Wendel Withrow about as far as I could throw him because my experience with a previous attorney (still fresh in my mind) left me feeling like an idiot trying to breakout of stupidity!. So I was astounded when Withrow returned my phone calls to give me updates on my case within hours in instead of weeks. From beginning to end Withrow's demeanor toward my case was on point. He was also caring and empathetic. In my opinion, Wendel A. Withrow without question, is a RIGHT DECISION for anyone seeking exemplary legal representation.

I had Mr. McGee as an attorney for my divorce case out of Denver.
Mr. McGee was the best attorney I could have asked for with my particular case. He kept a level head throughout the process even while we were being jerked around by my former spouse's 2nd attorney. He gave me thorough advice and let me call the shots as far as the direction I wanted to take my case. With his calm demeanor and negotiation skills, I was able to get my divorce settled without having to go to trial. We just had the misfortune of having to deal with my former spouse's incompetent attorney that dragged the case out beyond a reasonable point.
I would highly recommend Bob to anyone who needs help with a divorce case. He keeps his cool and is not the type of attorney that is out for blood or gets extremely emotional. He is fair in his billing and provides a detailed bill of everything that he does upon your behalf.
As I said in my title, I could not have asked God for a better attorney than Bob.

I hired Mr. De La Garza to handle a case for me and he went above and beyond of what was asked of him. He was very professional and well prepared for the case he handled. The outcome was better that I had hoped for and without his persistent work ethic and attention to detail this could have gone in the wrong direction for me. I will recommend him to anyone who asks for a good attorney. Thank you Mr. De La Garza for all you did for me and my family.

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.
