Annmarie Jenson is the sweetest and most compassionate lawyer I’ve ever met. She is incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through a very challenging time with care and professionalism. She truly went above and beyond to help our family when we needed it most, always making sure we felt supported and informed throughout the process. I can’t thank her enough for the difference she made in our lives. Highly recommend!

After my SSI application was denied I entered a contract with Bross & Frankel spanning over a year. Since I couldn't work and Cape May County Social Services claimed they were unable to house a disabled person who is assisted by a service dog, I was homeless for 7 months before finally receiving my voucher. Much of my property was damaged beyond repair or stolen by other homeless people, and my health declined so rapidly and drastically that I recently broke multiple ribs and damaged a vertebrae by falling onto my BED. Cooper Hospital in CMCH refused to write a prescription for lidocaine cream covered by Medicaid or any other pain medicine aside from a patch with adhesive when I'm allergic to adhesive and chart mentions this since almost a year and a half ago. In so much agony I tried to protect my ribs on the right side, which didn't inflate when breathing as my video shows, but hurt all the same. Since I was curving toward the right to minimize pain for around a month, my spine began to curve in both the lumbar and thoracic regions. Unable to lay down without agonizing pain that left me screaming until I passed out from exhaustion (which sometimes took over 7 hours) I developed herniation of the spinal disc. I have degenerative disc disease and decreasing bone density among other ailments. My health insurance literally put me into the care management program and we are already looking at the possibility of assisted living in the not-so-distant future. Jennifer was going to be my attorney but I was informed by her paralegal that they refuse to help me earmark medical expenses and replacement have food stamps or resources into my funds from SSI backpayment, despite NJ law permitting them to do so. Iris wanted me to request DHS waive all backpayment contract responsibilities but I am fine with paying them after I set aside my medical expenses and replacement of resources and/or if a future lump sum becomes available even though I signed under duress as a homeless person told I couldn't receive food stamps or general assistance or a voucher unless I agreed to give them a return on their investment. I have never been so shocked as I am right now. Bross & Frankel - callous cruelty when you need them most. 1/5 stars

Don't go anywhere else for a disability lawyer. Jennifer S. along with her team at Bross & Frankel handled my case with complete & professional care. They are prompt with answers for questions you may have through this daunting process making you feel as comfortable as you can be. I couldn't be happier that I chose Bross & Frankel.

Grungo Law was a very comprehensive Law Firm, who not at any point let me feel alone in the process of my lawsuit. Whenever I had doubts or questions, they were always available to take my call or messages. The entire team across the board at the Law Firm were so helpful and were diligent on their pursuit to settle my case. They also provided me with lots of guidance and support on a medical level. They truly advocated for my recovery. I know my case was a bit challenging because I moved away from New Jersey, making them have to adjust to the practices of Arizona. And boy was that a pain in the ass, but they managed to get answers. They took me step by step on what to expect very early on. Thank you Grungo Law for ALL of your hardwork- you guys were an absolute pleasure to work with!

We approached Grungo Law with a particularly challenging case, uncertain at first if it would be worth pursuing. However, from our initial consultation through to the final stages, the team demonstrated an exceptional level of dedication to helping us successfully navigate a complex legal process. Grungo Law’s approach combines remarkable professionalism with a strong customer-centric focus, ensuring that our needs and concerns were addressed every step of the way.
Throughout the process, the team at Grungo Law proved themselves to be not only highly knowledgeable and skilled but also consistently courteous and attentive. They were keenly aware that we had limited familiarity with the intricacies of the legal system, and they took great care to keep us well-informed. Their frequent and clear communication reassured us at each stage, allowing us to make decisions confidently with a full understanding of our options and progress.
The commitment, expertise, and support provided by the entire Grungo Law team were truly outstanding. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy, client-focused legal assistance. Grungo Law exemplifies excellence in legal practice, and we are deeply grateful for their guidance and professionalism.

I had the privilege of collaborating with Mr. Collis, and I express my sincere gratitude for his exceptional service. He assumed my case amidst an ongoing trial, demonstrating remarkable dedication. Mr. Collis consistently provided comprehensive information and guided me meticulously through every stage of the process. His exceptional responsiveness ensured that all my queries were promptly addressed, whether through phone calls, emails, or text messages. I never felt uncertain or bewildered about the proceedings, which were handled with utmost sensitivity. Mr. Collis's compassionate and patient demeanor further enhanced my experience. Despite the protracted nature of the case, he remained steadfast in his commitment to achieving a favorable outcome. I highly recommend his services, particularly for individuals seeking an expert who excels in communication, honesty, and integrity. His reasonable approach and expertise have enabled me to regain peace of mind. I extend my deepest appreciation to Mr. Collis for his invaluable assistance.

I have to say, Mr. Hark earned his way to be one of the top lawyers in New Jersey, and the sorrounding areas, for a reason. I am honored to have been able to have him in my corner throughout my case. He and his team never made false promises, and were always honest with me and my family. Knowing that there are several different factors when dealing with the courts, depending on the specifics of one's case, it is reasonable for people to feel somewhat skeptical at times. But, Mr. Hark never stopped fighting and I am appreciative of that. He held up his word all throughout the process. You can see his determination and tenacity speak through his words, and that drive also permeate through his team. And besides being an overall exceptional lawyer, he's just as great a person behind the suit; a honest man, a caring father, and a real person. I assure, that this is a real review from a situation that went on years and was finally resolved. And to mention, his brother also helped a family member of mine through a situation some years ago, which is why I was even recommended. Sometimes good people get caught and bad situations, and at those times, you want a lawyer who can see you for who you are, to speak for you when it matters. For anyone reading this, you would not be making a mistake choosing to go with Hark & Hark. You can take my word for it. And Mr. Hark, if you read this, I want to say thank you again, and my family thanks you, and your team. I wish you all peace, protection, and blessings on your journeys. I will continue to recommend you guys to those who may need it. Much respect.

Mr horicon his staff did an amazing job representing me in a motor vehicle crash, an eviction, a restraining order, and a criminal matter. He was able to successfully have the criminal matter dismissed, the restraining order dismissed and he just settled a car crash for me within 18 months from the date of the crash. His staff was always involved in on top of things and I was always aware of what was going on with all of my cases. He and his staff are very accessible kind and helpful at every turn every time I called. I felt like they were really involved with me and cared about me and my legal woes. I would be happy to call them again any day of the week. I also recommend them to anybody that's looking for an attorney to help them with a criminal, personal injury, family, restraining order, traffic, or other legal matter. Because of the way they helped me and handle my affairs I will always be grateful to Mr Hark and his staff.

I just want to thank Ciro & his best efforts on my case and I’m glad to say that I am very content, he went above and beyond for our motor vehicle collision. The other party that hit us didn’t have an absolute thing (license, registration, etc. ) but Ciro fought and made sure my mother and I received a decent amount! It was a little wait but that’s to be expected, but he continuously made sure we were fine and grabbed every little information he needed to make sure our process went smoothly. Thank you so much and we appreciate you and your team !!

Looking for a lawyer is like trying to find an honest car salesperson. Hard to find! Mr. Stopper was recommended to me by another law firm that said he would have the expertise to handle my car accident case. From our first conversation, he told me to have "Faith" and that's what I did. He worked effortlessly and diligently to ensure I was awarded what I rightfully deserved due to my injuries. Him and his team was informative and walked me through the process along with periodic updates. He provided an outstanding service to the point he knew what was best for me and my case! I can return back to rehab and move forward with the next chapter in my life. Thank you for all that you have done!

I hired Stopper Lopez to help me with a personal injury matter. Their office was very helpful and got me an appointment very fast. I met with Attorney Will Stopper and he explained the legal process to me. Also, he helped me fill out all the necessary paperwork. His office was very efficient and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend giving Stopper Lopez a call if you need legal advice.

Don't let his age fool you. He's young but extremely knowledge and very professional. I have retained him as my lawyer on numerous occasions over the years and he has successfully won or settled every case thus far. I'm glad he doesn't have an over exaggerated commercial yet but he is and should be deemed "THEE PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER" Lol ;)
His reputation proceeds him as the BEST. He has surpassed many that has been in tbe field much longer.
I trust him fully with any legal matter I would ever face. And I'm confident if he is unable to do the job for whatever reason, he will connect me with someone that will.

In a time where the wounded or weak are so vulnerable to major corporationsI was blessed to find Mr. Lopez.
He has a powerful presence which made me feel comfortable, protected and supported immediately. I was so pleased to know I had an attorney with ethos and pathos to be my advocate. Mr. Lopez ensured that I received the quality care I sorely needed, protected my legal rights and followed up to settle my case more than fairly.
I whole heartily recommend Mr. Lopez to all who may be in need of his services. He stands shoulders above others that I interviewed regarding my case and I'm so glad he stood in my corner at such a difficult time in my life.

I first met Adam when my son took martial arts lessons at a local school where Adam was the chief instructor. Being a martial artist myself, I could tell that he had a deep understanding of the art he was teaching. But, just as important, it was evident that he had the ability to effectively communicate how to perform the techniques at all levels. So when I needed an attorney for a home settlement, I chose Adam. I found him to be knowledgeable, effective and very personable and I would choose him again whenever I need representation. You will find top shelf representation in Adam down to the smallest details because that's just who he is.

I trust Mr. Weiss. Something that I can't say about many attorneys. He is extremely knowledgeable about medical malpractice cases. I wish he kept me better informed about the status of my case but realize it is a very long process without much to report a lot of the time. I would recommend him without any reservation.

Sean did an excellent job of handling the litigation of the case against us bringing it to a successful conclusion.
He was always professional, courteous, and was willing to take time to explain what was going on, keeping us in the loop, and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that we had. I would highly recommend him and would use his services again in the future if needed.
Thanks again,

I was very happy with how my case was handled. Sean was knowledgeable and helped guide me through a process that was new to me, getting me the best treatment for my injuries as well as ample compensation for my pain in the form of settlement. I would definitely recommend Sean to anyone else facing personal injury strifes. He cares about his clients and works hard to make sure they are justly served. I feel that I have learned so much about the legal process from this experience and am so happy that I had an on point lawyer to lessen the burdens of recovery.

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.
