Mr. Crowley was excellent!!! First appointment he put me at ease and I knew immediately that I could trust him and he would do his best! He had me well prepared, explained everything in ways I easily understood! During my hearing the Judge complimented him many times on the excellence and thoroughness of his work. Because of this work the hearing went extremely well. I believe the impression he made on the Judge helped my case. Because Mr. Crowley was so well prepared it made far less work for the judge and court. He presented my case with all the facts required for me to receive a favorable decision! I would immediately recommend him to anyone needing a DIsability attorney!! He is the best!!!!

Following a catastrophic auto accident I retained Scott Mullins to represent me in a complicated case wherein I sued my insurance carrier. We met strong opposition from the opposing parties but because of Scott's outstanding skills and knowledge of the law we prevailed and were highly successful.

Mr. Mullins was always well prepared and took the time to understand my case thoroughly. He also explained my options clearly and was always in communication with my hospital/providers to lower my bills as to create a large return for pain/inconvenience. Customer service skills are unsurpassed with Mr. Mullins. I could alsways get in touch with him when I called his office and the fact that he has multiple offices he can meet clients is a huge benefit when coordinating meeting times with clients who do not work/live close to Cincinnati! Highly recommended!

Katrina was extremely professional in handling my client’s estate planning needs.
She was thorough and had a very good understanding of the client, their wishes, and their situation to develop an estate plan customized for their situation.
She took the time to walk through all of the estate planning documents and explain in layman’s terms each section of each document and how it related to them and their estate plan.
I would highly recommend her services to those in need of an estate plan.

I have been a client of Katrina's for over 20 years. I have utilized her services and expertise for everything from small legal questions /clarifications to estate planning and trust preparation. She has always been accessible, knowledgeable and honest. She makes complex legal issues easy to understand and always makes sure my interests are protected. She operates with integrity and is tough when a situation demands it, but remains compassionate and gentle in dealing with all the emotions of estate work. I have complete faith and confidence in Katirna to take care of my business and my family.

Jon helped me with a difficult divorce, since my husband was a jerk through the whole process. My husband was trying to play games with the court system and he was able to show the magistrate. I am very happy that I was able to keep custody of my kids and my husband now pays child support.

Mr. Sinclair represented me when I got charged with a DUI. I did not want to fight the case in court but I did want to get the best result possible when making a plea of no contest. He was able to get me a reduced charge to reckless operation. It will allow me to get the charge expunged in a year. He was good at returning phone calls, and answered all my questions.

I was hit by a car coming off an off ramp, a few days after the accident I soon realized that there was a lot of in's and outs to having to file a insurance claim. This is what lead me to looking for a personal injury attorney, after call some of the law firms around town I found Gregory S Young's website and number. I called his office as I had the others before, but this time things seemed different, more of a warm and caring welcoming on the phone
where the others had made me feel like just another number.
After speaking with one of the lawyers on staff ( who meet with me that day at my house ) I could tell things would be taken care of the right way, this took a lot of stress off of my shoulders,
needless to say that in a word they held my hand all the way thru the process answering all my questions quick responses on the phone and a clear picture of what was going on with my case
thanks

I saw one of Mr. Young's commercials and gave him a call. he always answered the phone, and the attorney he put on my case was able to help me pay all my bills and give me extra money to cover everything else. Best lawyer you can find! A+++

My case was transferred to Ms. Clark prior to 2nd appeal. She had me come in for a meeting as if I was a new client, and made me feel like she was actually taking a personal interest in my case even though it wasn't hers from the beginning. She gave me her assessment of my case, and asked me if I wanted to continue. When I affirmed, she then walked me through everything that I needed to get to her, and what steps to expect coming up. Her advice was spot on, and her time frames were within a few days of what actually happened. On the day of my hearing, she did not sit there and keep me company, she was flitting around, working the case even before I got into the courtroom. Just prior to getting called, she came and told me what to expect - from the mood in the courtroom/of the judge down to specific questions that were to be asked. After the hearing, she told me what kind and when to expect a ruling from the court. Once again, what she prepared me for is EXACTLY what happened. I know that cases are extremely hard to predict due to so many moving parts, but I feel that Ms. Clark's thorough understanding of my case is what allowed her to exhibit the high level of professionalism that she provided. Not only would I recommend this attorney, I have already recommended her to a family member, who has reported that Ms. Clark is continuing to operate at that high level of professionalism.

Dana Lambert was my attorney in an employment case last year. Her hard work and dedication to my case lead to a resolution in my favor. Not only did she work extremely hard, but she was also friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and easy to reach.
I believe what makes Dana an amazing Attorney is her passion to make sure that wrongs done by others are made right for her clients. Mrs. Lambert made me feel confident and comfortable during the whole process, and helped my family through an extremely difficult time. I know that I will never be able to completely pay her back for what she accomplished for my family, but she is in my thoughts and prayers on a daily basis.

Within the guidelines we were given due to horrendous circumstances due to a corrupt and unjust justice system. (Imagine that a little ironic don't ya think.) Anyhow Jeffrey fought for my case relentlessly and treated me as one of his own family members. I would highly recommended Jeff or anyone he would recommend. Jeff and his network of professionals are determined to stand up for what's right and won't settle for anything less than the best. Just understand that sometimes with this "system" it takes time and it is a process and sometimes the courts themselves try to delay themselves. With that in mind if you can remain patient I promise your in Good hands!!!!!

When discussing an unfortunate event involving an accident, Mr. Terrance Mollaun provided me many legal options to explore as a result. He was very informative and did not appear to be constantly billing me for advice but truly wanted to provide legal guidance for me to make educated decisions. I was very happy with the results he provided and would use his services again, if unfortunate circumstances were to occur in the future.

Dave represented me when I was arrested for an OVI. Needless to say I was scared, nervous, and unaware of the consequences. I was facing jail time and knew I needed representation. Dave got my charges dropped down, and I was more than satisfied with the punishments that I received. He was professional and assuring during the entire process, and it was exactly what I needed in an attorney.

I have an extremely rare medical condition and because of this finding representation for things like a car accident claim has been extremely difficult. I was a passenger in a car accident and had a preexisting medical problem that I had just had surgery for. No lawyer wanted my case. Adam has been extremely helpful. My car accident case would have not been resolved and gone over the two year limit without his help. He helped me when no one else would, and despite there being a time limit and a lot of stress involved his confidence in the matter left me at ease. I had contacted over a dozen lawyers before I met Adam. It was a very messy situation and he handled it gracefully. Thank you Adam!!!

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.
