Dale and her team at Robinson & Henry are amazing! I was involved in a rear-end collision in November of 2018. The next morning in knew something wasn't right when I had difficulty driving to work. It unfortunately was my 4th concussion. After 6 months of continuing symptoms I choose to retain Dale and her team. Immediately Dale provided me with 2 resources: High Definition Physical Therapy and Atlas Brain and Spine. After only a couple of visits with Dan at High Definition I started to see the benefits. My headaches, dizziness, and nausea started to diminish. I met with Brittany at Atlas Brain and Spine. She performed a number of X-rays and it was determined that the Atlas in my neck was not setting correctly and it was causing the discomfort in neck and shoulders. It was also contributing to my headaches. Brittany and Dan worked in conjunction to develop a treatment plan that would best work for my concussion and it was amazing! After months of treatment I was released and now only need to follow up as needed. The difference is incredible! The stress and strain that my concussion put on my family was unbelievable. I was irritable, had mood swings, and had to focus on easy day to day tasks. Dale.....THANK YOU so much for your referrals and personal attention you gave to me and my family.

My husband and I hired Dale Casares to handle a lengthy and convoluted case. Now, two years later, we are grateful for Dale’s expertise and advocacy, which finally brought the case to a satisfactory close.

When I needed help Dale was there every step of the way. She is very good with communicating and very patient (she needed to be with me as i have some memory issues) . Dale always went the extra mile for me. I was amazed at how hard she works and my past experiences with lawyers are now put to shame by this wonderful woman. I can't say enough about what this wonderful person has done.

I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my case and overall experience with this attorney. He was prompt, professional, and very fair. He addressed all my issues and interests with my opposing party and worked very hard to fight for my best possible outcome. I would highly recommend this attorney and though I hope to never need a lawyer again, I know exactly where I'm going should the occasion arise. Thank you very much Mr. Bullock.

I was immediately yelled at by the attorney who answered the phone. Was the most rude person on earth, didn’t care about my case at all because his ego was too big to be asked a simple and basic question. I can’t believe someone would speak like that to a potential client. As a doctor and entrepreneur, that was the WORST possible way to handle the situation. I will never do business with such a disrespectful person.

Only thing going for them is they are nice. My accident was in 2015 that ruined my life. I ended up settling in 2016 and here we are a little over 3 years later and never got a thing. We got totally screwed over. They promised a high amount of money we would receive for 2 years and last min said it would only be about $1000. But here we are and we have not gotten a dime. I went through all of my vacation and sick time with work to drive all around colorado for treatments. Yay me! I haven't heard from this company in probably about 1.5 years. So good luck ya'll!

Collin is an excellent lawyer in that he knows the law and takes great interest in his clients. He worked with me and helped me understand the law and guide me through every detail. I found him very personable, professional and understanding. Throughout the entire process of my divorce he gave me time to work through my own personal issues, handled all the courtroom work and much more. I highly recommend Collin Earl.

Subject: Warning: Avoid Robinson & Henry Law Firm I strongly advise against hiring Robinson & Henry Law Firm, particularly the attorney assigned to my case and her supervisor, who claims to specialize in criminal defense. After spending $32,000 over 5 months with no results, I feel compelled to share my experience to prevent others from being misled. My attorney’s performance was disgraceful. Her lack of preparation was evident during a court hearing, leading to frustration from both the magistrate and District Attorney. She was reprimanded by the magistrate and even talked over him, further exposing her incompetence. Communication was nonexistent. Despite numerous emails and phone calls, responses were rare and inadequate. Most frustrating was her failure to communicate a critical offer from the District Attorney that could have resolved my son's case, forcing him to remain in a boys' home. Her negligence caused my family to lose precious time with my son. The situation worsened when my attorney went on vacation, delaying the case further. After voicing my concerns to her supervisor multiple times, I was met with excuses and reprimands. The supervisor claimed a lack of communication and threatened to withdraw from the case right before a hearing, despite my timely payments. Their withdrawal left me with no choice but to continue with their services to avoid further delays, only to witness another poor performance at the hearing and an additional $2,000 charge. I gave the firm every opportunity to make this right. I spoke with a representative who promised to escalate my concerns to the board and follow up within 3-5 days, but no follow-up occurred. It is clear this firm prioritizes their fees over their clients. I am now prepared to file a grievance against Robinson & Henry for their handling of this matter. If you have questions about my experience, I am ready to provide detailed evidence to substantiate my claims.

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.
