Using Cary as my attorney was the best thing I could have done! Not only his knowledge of the law was extensive, but attention to detail make the difference. What would have been a lost case turned to my favor with Cary's detailed review, persistence and tenacity over a 1-18 year period. I'm so glad that he represented me! I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

I consider myself fortunate that she was my lawyer. My case seemed insurmountable. I was here for years and didn’t have documents and several lawyers told me that I don’t have a way of staying even though I was paying taxes for years. It turned out that because my father was sponsored when I was a minor, I had a way to stay with paying a fine. In the end things worked out because this lawyer appeared to have read all this laws and knew the law that helped me.

Sofia and Mehriban the two paralegals who represented my case. They are both brilliant they will do everything in there power to help. They made sure they used every possible angle to get my case approved. They were there every step of the way and always there to answer questions. I would recommend them in a heart beat for any immigration case. They both are very knowledgeable. I filed a petition for my wife who was out of status and I was a citizen. Once again if you have any immigration problem go to them. They will help you.

I cannot express my gratitude for the work she did for me. Thanks to her I was able to bring my husband back to the US even though he had a deportation and was deported. My lawyer had encyclopedic knowledge of the immigration laws and was able to get him back. She filed two waivers and both were approved! It was nothing short of a miracle!

I owed a company a nearly $10,000. Ricardo negotiated a settlement that was a fraction, much less than half, of the amount. Hopefully, I'll never have need for his services again, but if I do, he's my guy.

I was introduced to Dedrick through a friend and from the very beginning he was very friendly, informative and helpful. I never sensed he was the kind of lawyer that wanted to just swindle me out of money. He was upfront about his fees. He didn't take advantage of me and try to get money every time he saw me. His fees were resonable, he stayed in constant communication, and he was very accomodating amd always willing to work around my schedule. He was professional, personable, very easy to talk too, but most importantly he was trustworthy. For years I'd been looking for an attorney to help with my divorce and everyone I came across had some unreasonable retainer, wanted money every time they saw me, and just didn't seem trustworthy. I'm soooo happy I met Dedrick. He made the process easy and quick. I would recommend him to everyone I know with no hesitation.

I was so fortunate to find Lauren when I needed a lawyer the most. I must have called 20 lawyers in Chicago they all said no. The reason they said I didn't break any bones.

I had never been involved in anything court related in my entire 60 years. I got injured quite significantly & had no clue how anything worked. I am so glad Lauren was my attorney. It was like working with a friend who knew exactly what to do. She never acted like my zillion questions from start to finish were ever a problem no matter how scared I got she was my rock. I never waited more than a few hours for any answers to my questions and she usually responded within minutes! Her knowledge and expertise brought my case to an excellent conclusion. Although I hope I'm never injured again if it should happen I would without hesitation contact Lauren again.

I met James through my bankruptcy attorney
During the bank fraud forclosures in 2010. He assisted me to stay in my forclosed home for 5 years, to recover some of the financial loss I incured when the bank kept my escrow money through the forclosure process. I highly recommend Jim for any issues you may have. In addition I found him to be genuinely concerned with my well being. I also loved his sense of humor.
Thanks Jim

I would definitely recommend Jerrrey to anyone!!! He is very professional and always kept me in the loop on what was going on. The care he has for his clients absolutely shows through his work. He helped me with a complicated workman's comp injury case. I had hired an original attorney who completely dropped the ball and I was afraid too much time had passed to continue with it, but Jeffrey eagerly stepped up to the plate and got everything in order that needed to be done. And with a preexisting condition, it was an uphill fight to begin with. I felt very confident having Jeffrey represent me and cannot thank him enough for helping me put my life back together!! Thank you again!

We met with Mr. McDevitt regarding a personal injury case as a result of a traffic accident. It was apparent from the very beginning that Mr. McDevitt was the right attorney to handle our case. Dan provided us with a strategic course of action, a general timeline pertaining to our case and answered all our questions prior to taking the case. Dan provided us with regular updates and worked aggressively to bring our case to a very satisfactory conclusion, which is ultimately why we hired him. If you are searching for an attorney to handle your case, I highly recommend that you speak with Dan McDevitt prior to making this all important decision. His expertise, aggressive action and friendly service cannot be beat!

On way back to home from work I & wife met with an car accident (with no fault).Car totalled and we injured severely, ended up in ER.
We don't what to do next. I found Zayed Law and met Mr. Jeremy Lee, a young, energetic and talented attorney. I felt huge relieved after discussing my case. Mr. Lee was very supportive and always in contact never leaves us in the dark about anything. When we had a question we could call/email him and would have instant answer.
We are happy with the final settlement.
We would like to thanks Mr. Lee and his amazing team for their hard work.
Certainly we would highly recommend to anyone need a Lawyer/Zayed Law Offices.

Adam and the entire team at Zayed Law Offices were fantastic throughout my entire case. You can tell that they truly care about you as a person and not just your case. When I first met with Adam about my case he made me feel comfortable and seemed like he honestly cared about my health and stress. He didn't see me as just $$ like most other offices did. He took the time to learn about me as a person and seemed like he was truly interested. He wasn't just concerned with my case.
Adam and his office answered any questions I had about my case in an extremely timely manner and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. They helped me deal with the over whelming amount of medical bills I had and helped me keep them all in order. Adams office was even nice enough to send me a plant while I was in the hospital recovering from my surgery. They wanted to make a stressful and overwhelming process as stress free as possible.
I would highly recommend Adam and everyone else at Zayed Law Offices to anyone I know. Ultimately Adam was able to settle my case out of court for the FULL policy limit.

I have been working with Steven Morton’s office for nearly two years. I work for a nonprofit organization called LIFT, which operates community resource centers for low-income individuals in Chicago and across the nation.

However, thanks to Steven Morton, they are able to receive a consultation and additional legal support to help them address their legal problems. We’ve had extremely positive feedback from our clients with their experiences in working with Steven and are confident that when we make a referral the client will be treated with respect.

I highly recommend calling Mr. Deffet if you find yourself involved in a negative situation with a creditor and/or debt collections agency. Mr. Deffet provides one on one support and makes you feel comfortable and informed with every step of your case. His knowledge, confidence and persistance led to our case being dismissed (with prejudice) against one of the largest junk debt buyers in the country. If a collections agency summons you to court, call him ASAP.

I was in an automobile accident that was triggered by a 'phantom car' (that is what it was defined as because it left and no one had any information on it), was a passenger in a car that was not mine, had a major concussion and was unconscious for a few days. All of this in a different state.
Mr. Richmond took my case.
I have been very impressed with Mr. Richmonds' honesty and professionalism. I really appreciate the time he takes to explain and help me understand where my case is at. Then proceed to make sure I understand what the following steps are going to be taken to keep the case moving forward. He makes it look easy.
I take that as a sign of someone that has complete control of a situation and very knowledgable in their field.
Excellent!!

Mr. Kevin Hanbury was assigned to me as the attorney for my Dad's estate by the Probate Judge and oversaw the 2 year process from start to finish. I had no knowledge of handling the cumbersome task as Guardian of the estate, but Thanks to Mr. Hanbury, I had someone to walk beside me and guide me through the process, putting my mind at ease. I would give 10 stars if I could. Mr. Hanbury's overall professionalism, communication, organizational skills and education reguarding the entire estate process are stellar. Mr. Hanbury will get the job done and can be relied upon.......A true asset to anyone that decides to utilize his services. I highly recommend this attorney.

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.
