Ms. Lynn A. Fischer has been on my case since May 2016 and she has made sure that me and my kids get what we need. I really like how she spends her time on every case to make sure you get what you deserve. Ms. Lynn A. Fischer is a wonderful lawyer and I recommend that everyone goes to her.

Lynn handled my personal injury case in 2005. I received a much larger settlement than I ever would have expected. She handled the case in a very comprehensive manner. I was completely satisfied.

I have had a great experience with Lynn and I hope, if needed in the future, to have her represent me again. The case was handled in good timing. I am very pleased with the outcome and I wish the company/firm the best in the future.

I first hired Ken over 20 yrs ago. He was always very professional, punctual & attentive. He also was kind, comforting & reassuring. This man works magic in the courtroom! Legal dealings are never fun but I can guarantee you there’s not a better man to have represent you than Ken. Read the great article in the RFT his face graced the cover of:) I’m glad I was fortunate enough to have him represent me numerous time before I got on a better path. 20+ yrs & 2 kids later, now I’d want no one else to represent me!

Ken and I are drag bike racing buddies and he seen I was in wreck and messaged me and helped me over the phone deal with my insurance over my fair market value of my vehicle. All his knowledge and how he told me to speak etc was on point and had them lost when the negotiations was going on. I received a fair market value of my vehicle and appreciate Ken for all his help.

I spoke with her personally and after I got off of the phone I had already made my mind up. She was my lawyer. Mind you she was the first lawyer I chose after googling lawyers near me. She even gave me her personal cell number. And the price was definitely reasonable. Thank you so much Lacy!!

Been working with Garry for years on a variety of topics in relation to the construction industry and all that entails and Garry never ceases to amaze me with his knowledge, straight forwardness, detailed explanation in lay terms so all clearly understands and can make an educated decision and all at a very fair cost. Ive gotten to know Garry as well over the years on a personal level and his character as a whole is second to no one. Highly recommend him or his son Kevin Seltzer.

Nalini and her team at MLO Law have been outstanding in handling my H-1 and TN visas with a 100% success rate. Their competence, diligence, and in-depth knowledge of immigration law are remarkable. Nalini clearly lays out all available options, carefully explaining the pros and cons, which greatly helped me make informed decisions as a client. Her team’s attention to detail and responsiveness throughout the process made a complex situation feel manageable. I strongly recommend MLO Law for anyone seeking reliable and expert legal assistance

I hired Richard almost two years ago for a work comp case. I was severely injured and being harassed and lied to by work comp. I decided to hire a lawyer and I called an attorney I knew and used before. She gave me Richard’s information and I gave him a call. Richard and I talked and I decided to hire him and his team. Richard is straight to the point and took immediate action. The entire time we were dealing with my case he never made promises or ignored my calls and requests. Richard and his team were on top of things and fought for me the entire case. They also explained things and how things were going to work. Any question I had was answered right away and they never put me on the back burner. I recommend Richard and his team if you have an injury case. They are professional, take action right away and keep you informed by email as well as phone calls. I want to thank Richard and his team again I’m happy with the outcome as well as the service.

I have always been a civic minded, very hard working and law abiding citizen, until my family ran into some financial issues because of the pandemic and inflation. We were sued by the First National Bank of Omaha because of late payments on a credit card, with little recourse but to find an attorney to help us. Mind you, this was almost ALL medical debt that had to be put on a credit card. Kris, and all his staff, were so kind, personable and helpful. These people believe in what they are doing and finding people a good settlement at a difficult and low period of life. Many kudos!!

This lawyer handles really big accident cases in St Louis. He is a lawyer, accountant and has his masters in tax so he gets the injury cases for individuals that can never go back to work or individuals own a business and cannot run it due to injury. He specializes in valuations of massive loss. Thank goodness a firm like this exists.

I couldn't be more grateful to Doug and his firm for the help they gave me. Roundabout 2 years ago now, I was facing a pretty scary legal situation that dropped on me out of the blue, and was lucky enough to be introduced to Doug through a mutual friend. I'd never been in any kind of legal trouble, and I was completely freaked out and totally lost. He called right away, patiently explained the plan, was attentive, confident, trustworthy and just knew exactly what to do. I can't tell you how much better I felt just knowing that he was on my side. In the blink of an eye, he got the case against me dropped. Look, if you're in any kind of a legal bind, I honestly can't think of a better guy to have in your corner. Hire this man right now. He will help you. I promise.

Hiring Justin to counsel my divorce was a fabulous decision! His experience shines with his ability to listen and provide proper, detailed guidance for all of the options available. Justin has a friendly, candid approach that is exactly what I needed in order to navigate these unchartered waters. He is precise, timely and always prepared to move things along swiftly. Justin's tenure in the industry is admirable and allows him to move seamless through the process. My favorite aspect of Justin's is his commitment to communication. He responds promptly with support and gets right to the point! If you are serious about your decision to get a divorce and want dedicated representation, Justin is a fantastic choice to lead you to define the 'success' that is right for your situation.

I have known Rachna for years, working with her on multiple occasions when she was with the Jane Doe Advocacy Center. Therefore, when I decided to get a divorce, it was a no-brainer to go to this acquaintance I had known for years. At first, my experience with The Lien Law Firm was excellent. You can make payments in installments, but they will start the proceedings once everything is collected. When I was able to get an in-person visit, everything went well.
Since 10/23/2022, I have been diligently pursuing my divorce proceedings.
Unfortunately, she was unavailable to take my call almost every time I called the office. I would leave a message for a callback, which I rarely received on multiple occasions. There were a couple of phone appointments that she missed, and I never received a callback.
The client portal is a joke because I have sent messages to Mrs. Lien, the office staff, or both and never received a response.
It has taken a little longer because initially, I had a paternity test involved in my divorce proceedings, and they would need to try and serve her. This was difficult because she was not living in the same state as I, and I did not have an exact address for her.
Eventually, divorce paperwork was completed in June 2023—multiple attempts to contact afterward without responses.
On October 24, 2023, I had a phone appointment, and she said she could not find my wife to serve her. I provided updated info that I was able to find, and she said I could hire a PI in Florida, which could cost me a couple thousand dollars more. She also provided me with the information of three aggressive lawyers if I still wanted to try to track her down.
On January 25, 2024, I went to the courthouse on other business. While there, I checked out the status of my case, and I was informed that it was on the dismissal pile. I made a follow-up appointment in February, which she missed.
I eventually was able to get an in-person appointment on June 14, 2024, and decided to forgo the paternity test and finish the divorce. I had to refile the paperwork because it was dismissed in January. She said it was left on the dismissal pile on purpose to see if my wife would come out of the woodwork and be caught and served.
It is now September 12, 2024, and multiple attempts to contact her since the June meeting have failed. I am still in limbo on whether she has resubmitted my divorce paperwork or not.
This has been an extremely frustrating and draining experience. Another reason not to get married.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve Waterkote on a case that needed prompt and effective resolution. From the very beginning, Steve demonstrated exceptional communication, ensuring I was informed and comfortable with every step of the process. His diligence and hard work were evident in the meticulous attention to detail and the thoroughness with which he approached my case.
What stood out the most was Steve's kindness and professionalism. He not only provided expert legal advice but also showed genuine concern for my well-being throughout the case. His ability to combine empathy with expertise is truly commendable.
Thanks to Steve's efforts, my case was resolved with a very satisfactory outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I highly recommend Steve Waterkote to anyone in need of legal assistance! Great guy!

I was involved in a car accident in St. Louis and had no idea what to do. I was not at fault and the other driver claimed I was. Tyson was able to get the red light camera footage as well as other pieces of evidence for my case. Without the help of Mutrux Firm Injury Lawyers, I would've been out so much money and not taken the time to get proper medical treatment. They know more about this area and I am so glad a friend told me to call.

I first became aware of Henry "Hank" Miller when I met my now wife who was in a child custody battle. Hank Miller was appointed as the guardian per the court.
The father in the custody battle failed multiple drug tests. The father was put on supervised visitation for a period of time. Following that period the father took another drug test and still failed terribly from there the answer that we got from Hank Miller was that even though he failed the drug test again we should give the father MORE privileges and gave him UNSUPERVISED VISITIATION. His answer to most everything was "well we just really go backwards".
So Hank Miller thought it was a great idea to take a child and allow the child to go with a drug addict who had just failed a drug test and give the drug addict unsupervised time with the child.
Hank Miller seemed to support the drug addict father more than the mother who never failed a drug test and was raising the child on her own at this point.
Once a relocation motion had been initiated for the mother and son to move out of state, Hank Miller even fixed his mouth to say that "even if it is better for the child to go with the mother I cant support the move."
THIS IS EVEN WITH THE FATHER ONLY SEEING THE CHILD ON SUPERVISED VISITATION FOR 4 HOURS A WEEK / 16 HOURS TOTAL FOR A MONTH.
Hank Miller does not care about the safety of kids nor does he care about the people that are doing the right thing in the case. NEVER TRUST THIS MAN.
TOTALLY INEPT AS A GUARDIAN.

While not going into the details of my specific legal affairs, I wanted to share that my working experience with Bill Grant and Hank Miller at Grant, Miller & Smith, LLC has been truly outstanding. Their depth of knowledge and experience, professionalism, willingness to spend the time to understand all aspects of the case, and calm demeanor in the heat of a legal storm are attributes I found incredibly important to an outcome that I was pleased to achieve with their support. I highly recommed these very capable professionals.

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.
