Yolanda M. Trotman is someone you want at your side when things are tough and uncertain. I was pleased with the service I was given. The main office is professional and very friendly. If they don't pick up the phone do not freak out. Give it some time and call or shoot a email they are working hard for many people.

Thankfully Yolanda took my nasty dog custody case that was making my life hell when other firms didn’t know where to start. Even working in legal myself I needed assistance. She was professional in court and had the respect of others. She did what I hoped she would do, rip my lying ex to pieces in cross examination. The results were favorable to me. She is an experienced attorney and I’m thankful she took my case! Thank you, Yolanda. ❤️

Horrible law firm! They are eager to get you signed up, but then are slow as molasses to win your case! I almost lost my claim. David was ok when the other insurance company didn’t accept liability when the other driver was clearly at fault! Glad I changed law firms and back on track to winning my claim. Choosing this law firm almost cost me thousands in losses!

I had a scheduled 2:30 telephone appointment on Thursday October 24th. I was advised the consultation fee would be $150 plus a $6.00 processing fee. At 3:10 I called the firm to see what was going on as no one contacted me and I was to add a family member to the meeting, in which I did. However I was advised by the attorney that I was scheduled to discuss my concerns with He DID NOT review any evidence/ emails regarding my concerns prior to the meeting. He also informed me that I should have been told to call the firm at 2:30 as they don’t call customers! In fact he did about a 7-8 minute quick review or scan through in which He appeared more bothered than helpful for this (30) minute session. I was told not to use PRONOUNS “He” or “She”when referring to the two siblings in this Heir property case. It appears charging a consultation fee for cases is definitely a quick way to make money without actually giving professional and most importantly detailed information on how or if you should proceed. My family member said his service wasn’t worth $25 or our time. *** Please note Mrs. Crosby was who I had spoke with by telephone the day before, as She was attentive and just amazing ***

I hired the firm in December 2023, I was really excited at first but as the months went by I started to feel as if they were incompetent to handle my auto accident case. I would be told one thing and then 1-2 days later I would be told something else. Noone seems to be on the same page. I was given a date that the case would be settled only for that day to come and be told something completely different. It was always "we're waiting on this paperwork, once it was received it was well we have to wait for this paperwork " very unprofessional and indecisive. Going on 5 months and I'm still waiting for case to settle. I was told it would possibly be another week to 2 months. At this point just drop me and my claim. For a fee of 33⅓%, I had higher expectations! truly disappointed 😞 and stressed at this point. I feel like I did more work than they did.

I sought out Attorney Shapack after requiring legal assistance for a claim against a negligent housing entity. Especially given the case was my first experience with the legal process, I was very concerned about making the right choice. My first meeting with Attorney Shapack quelled those fears: She took copious notes, asked several questions, and was notably very patient and detail-oriented with regards to understanding my case and how to best approach it. Attorney Shapack was very professional, accessible when I had questions, and provided constant updates as the case developed. Ultimately, a very favorable outcome was reached and I attribute this entirely to Attorney Shapack's skill and knowledge of the legal system. If I do require such services in the future, I will know where to turn.

I hired Ms. Shapack to represent me in a medical injury claim. It was an unusual circumstance and throughout the consultation and representation she not only captured every detail, but I felt as though she was always listening. Her strategy was on par with the situation and the resolution surpassed my expectations. I am certain I would not have found favor in this case without the assistance of Ms. Shapack. She is truly an expert in her field and is maniacal in her attention to detail. I highly recommend Ms. Shapack and her firm - in fact, I've consulted with her again on an entirely separate financial issue. Sincerest thanks for your guidance and counsel!

On June 09, 2018; I was in a car accident on my way to work. To date: I am STILL waiting on a settlement, or information, or an Update as to the status of my claim.!?!? They have done absolutely nothing to keep me in the loop, and each phone call to make an inquiry was initiated by me. Each phone call, I was dismissed and disappointed, and felt as if my case wasn’t important. I called to inquire about the status, and was actually told by an office employee that they were working on a huge case, and that someone would return my call as soon as they were available. Needless to say, that Call was never received, nor returned. On several occasions, I was calling in at least twice a week with updated or new information regarding my case, but was made to feel as if I were a nuisance, and again, calls were never returned. However; I do have to agree, my job has NOT been the most cooperative at providing information to the attorneys, but that IS part of being a hired attorney, that is retrieving that information for the clients claim. I am truly disappointed in my choice in representation, because this was a very easy, open & shut case.

A very talented professional who gives each client personal care and concern. With Mr.Lee you don’t get his secretaries phone number, but instead his own cell number so his clients can reach him at anytime no matter the hour. He has had a substantial amount of charges dismissed for a few family members and friends of mine. Also he’s very prompt, unlike most lawyers he will have you in and out as quickly as possible; very rarely do his clients have to stay past lunch break in a courtroom. Overall I highly recommend him as one of the best (if not the best) practicing lawyers in Union County.

He is a wealth of knowledge (never did he have to research a question I asked which attorney could bill extra time to do), genuine ( called to check up on how things were going even after the case was over) , and a beast in the court room but, comes off as kind to get the info from opposing party to help with your case. I’ve used him two times now 2007 and 2014 can say will ONLY use this lawyer with these civil cases . He just gets better and better with time. The only way the bill will be run up is if you call to complain about your case all the time ( that what a shrink is for talk to them about your issues)He is very up front on honest with what he expects the outcome of the case and in my experiences, he was always on point (prepare for the worse hope for the best type of thing). He does not play when he tells you to do something or stop ( will not tolerate it neither)and one should follow his advice to have the best possible outcome. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and does have a quick response. Highly recommend him to anyone!!

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.
