Rick is extremely responsive and probably one of the most ethical lawyers that I have ever spoken with. I don't say that lightly either, I worked with nine different law firms in 2016 ranging from real estate to employment and of course personal injury. You can feel confident you are in good hands if you work with him.

I had Peter Puchalski as my Workmen's Compensation lawyer and was very happy with the outcome of my lawsuit. He worked very hard for my case and kept me informed as to what was happening every step of the way. I could not of handled all of this without him. I would rate him as excellent and would refer him to all my family and friends.

My daughter was charged with felony filing a false police report and Insurance fraud. She was in nursing school at the time, but unfortunately she lied t protect someone close to her. Her case was related to a murder investigation, so my daughter was very afraid of the consequences to her record and her life. Attorney Walker set out to get her case amended to a misdemeanor so that she could still practice as a nurse. At first, it seemed an impossible feat, but surprisingly enough Attorney Walker turned a no from the States Attorney into a yes! Me and my daughter were so happy that we hired an attorney who was talented, persistent, aggressive and most important to me cared enough about my daughter to be persistent! My daughter has now finished school and as she prepares for her boards, I am so happy that Attorney Walker was able to avoid a felony conviction for her and that she is now able to be in the profession that she chose and went to school for!

I hired Mr Kiss for a personal injury when I was hit by a car while riding my bike. I am not an easy person to impress, but I have to say that Dan Kiss is a great guy, and an excellent attorney. Mr Kiss dealt with the insurance company for me every step of the way, he was there promptly for any questions I had along the way about how things worked, and what happened next, etc. Mr Kiss was able to negotiate a favorable settlement with the insurance company for me and he did, in my opinion an amazing job. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is in need of legal assistance. Thank you.

I met James through a referral during the Bank fraud crises in 2010, over the housing forclosures. I wasn't able to save my property, but he kept me my home for 5 years. It helped me save money, even though the bank kept $125,000 of my escrow. Jim Is "The Man". In addition he assisted me in purchasing a new home.
If you want a lawyer who explains everything to you with razor sharp accuracy, hire "My Man Jim". You won't be disappointed.

I had a great experience working with Eric, Kristie, and the rest of the TorHoerman team. They made an otherwise stressful situation much easier to deal with. It was a huge relief not worrying about the insurance companies and money so I could focus on my recovery and auto repair.

Dan Khwaja is a GREAT attorney. He is extremely professional and fights hard for you and WINS!!! I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

22 Dec, 2022 by Margaret rodriguez
Mr. Khwaja is an extremely dedicated and focused defense attorney. He will thoroughly review all issues that pertain to your case and pursue those that will bring a most positive outcome. His arguments are direct and are reinforced by his knowledge of the current laws. He will apply those laws fiercely and will not back down (as I have witnessed with my previous attorney). He will not hesitate to protect your interests in and out of the courtroom.
So far, he has won two cases for me. The first was for a violation of a Federal Housing regulation and the case was dismissed.
The most recent case triumph was won (with prejudice) for violation of the Single Refilling Rule. This was the Plaintiff’s third attempt at foreclosure. No doubt they will make further attempts. I have complete confidence and trust in Mr. Khwaja’s abilities to tackle those challenges with ease.
He is the best choice anyone can make when choosing an attorney.

Dan is an excellent attorney. I’m going on 5 years of a high conflict divorce, going to court ever month. Sometimes twice a month. I’ve seen my share of good and bad attorneys. My case was extraordinarily difficult and terribly damaging to my family, my business associates and myself. My ex wife who is mentally ill forced the property that was purchased as a college fund for my children into foreclosure as a form retaliation for my children telling the judge of the abuse sustained at the hands of her and my ex mother in law. Knowing my ex wife’s thought pattern I knew she’d seek revenge against our children for telling on her and she’d stop payment on their two flat. Since early on in the divorce my ex had a court order removing me as an authorized person on the account for that property. I was left with no way to communicate with the mortgage company to rectify any situations on my own. Foreseeing the situation, I sought a referral from one of my old real estate lawyers for someone to step into the case to protect the properties. On their recommendation a seperate attorney was hired during the divorce solely to protect my interests in the real estate. She did what I knew she would. The attorney was hired 2 months before a payment was even missed on this particular piece of property. His outright refusal to do anything for the $7,500 he collected landed this property not only in foreclosure but let it go to the point that a judgement for sale was entered. Never notifying me of the situation and giving me the brush off the entire time I asked for an update. Completely keeping me in the dark. And when I confronted him about it after it went to judgment for sale; two years later, he excused me of being negligent, even tried to strong arm me. He said there is nothing he could do. He told me to give him another $5,000 and he could keep it going another six months but I was going to lose the property no matter what. Then he started telling me how I really don’t want the property anyway. I told him I had given him $7,500 to protect the property and he literally did nothing. He told me if I wanted a bill, he’d give me one but then I’d have to pay him even more. The entire situation was horrible. He took advantage of my good nature and the terrible position I was in and pretty much extorted me. Then he left me hanging I’m a worse situation than if I never hired him at all, only With $7,500 less. That night with tears in my eyes I told my kids I didn’t think I’d be able to save theIr building. The next day feeling hopeless, I reached out to a friend and was given a referral from their attorney for an attorney who specializes in foreclosure litigation. After talking to her I was then again disappointed that she was too busy to take my case. In reality I think she just didn’t want it. Because my case is so complicated. She told me to call Dan Khwaja. She said “you’ll like this guy”. I called him right away. it was definitely the right move. Dan gave me more information on my first phone call with him than I got in two years with the other thieving attorney. He met with me that same day. We discussed my case and I paid him a retainer. He started working on my case immediately. I was surprised when he texted me on a Friday night and then found out he worked all weekend on my case. As I said I’ve been going to court every month for years and I know a good attorney from a bad one. Dan is not good - he’s excellent. The amount of professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. He takes what he does very seriously and has a soul that is uncommon in most attorneys. He managed to overturn the judgement and get me another chance to save my children’s building. We are not out of the woods yet and mine is a very uncommon case. But with that said I have complete confidence in Dan Khwaja. As a matter of fact, I’m betting my children’s future on him. If you’re in a bad place, don’t know where to turn, call him right now. Time you have is limited. Don’t waste it with anyone else!!!

Jack Cannon and his team are amazing. They are very genuine and you can feel that they care about your wellbeing. Every step of the way, Jack Cannon made me feel very comfortable and educated. I was lucky to have Jack and Sarah advocate for me in a court room and was amazed at how well they work. They’re very educated, confident, and kind people. They exceeded my expectation and I was very happy with the outcome. You definitely want to have Jack Cannon in your corner when you’re dealing with a personal injury.

Jack, Sarah and the team at Cannon Law have been nothing short of spectacular every step of the way in the handling of my work comp case. I could be a difficult client at times especially when things got challenging but Jack and Sarah were so patient and informative with me. I had a case with every hurdle imaginable, due to the complexities of work comp law, but Jack and his team fought hard for me to ensure I was taken care of and protected. Jack’s willingness to fight back has been a saving grace for me and my situation. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Cannon Law. Please consider Jack Cannon to handle your injury claim, you won’t regret having him on your side.

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.
