I called Vincent when my HOA had filed a lawsuit against me. He took my call, proceeded to calmly explain my situation and my opinions. Instead of just taking my money upfront (which many other attorneys would), he advised me to make an attempt to negotiate with HOA. And then call him back.
An honest, well intentioned lawyer all around.
Thank you Vincent

Mr. Colon is young, but is very highly experienced. He was incredibly helpful and attentive to my case, as well as very honest with the outcomes I could expect. He didn’t necessarily under promise but he did over deliver. I would recommend him to anyone, on his own or in conjunction with Mr. Lirot’s help.

I was in a very bad accident in which I had to press my insurance company to pay out my policy. It was a fight of which I was not ready for. Being it was a first for me, I did not know where to turn. Attorney Boyle and his team took immediate care of me. Fighting for me. It took awhile. All the while his team fielding my questions and helping me through the process. I thank them for the hustle and being their for me when I needed them. I would recommend Mike Boyle to anyone. He brings a qualified and professional team with him. They got everything for me they promised. In a world full of lies and half truths...It is good to know yoh can rely on some people still. Truly Nate.

Lived in Florida back in the early 90's, got a DUI in Pinellas county and moved away without clearing up that situation. Twenty five years later when I finally decided to address the issue Michael J. Boyle was able to help me clear it all up without me having to go there. I called him in mid February, the case was completely resolved by the first week of April. He went to bat for me in an expeditious manner to say the least. I am very impressed with him and the firm he works for. If you need an excellent attorney in Pinellas county Florida I highly recommend him.

Michael was referred to me by a friend and I could not be happier about that fact. Despite the reason for needing to retain Michael's services was something I would have preferred not to have to do, from the first moment I spoke with Michael he began putting my mind at ease. He was extremely up front with me, gave me all of my options as well as his opinion as to how things would unfold based on his experience both as a prosecutor and defender, all of which was greatly appreciated and helped relax me. Throughout the entire process he was extremely responsive and never grew weary of answering my myriad questions. I cannot recommend him highly enough, and am extremely grateful for all of his help.

After our insurance company dismissed our hurricane-caused roof damage/leak claim as "age-related deterioration/wear and tear". we were referred to Krapf Legal. The Krapf Legal team were exceptional throughout the year-long battle to ensure we were compensated for our significant losses. Our attorney, Tim Delaney, was always reachable, professional and courteous - and he negotiated the exact settlement we were looking for to cover 100% of our roof replacement.

This lawyer did nothing to help me in court, though I paid his fees. I provided him with evidence that supported my defense, but he never provided it to the judge or state attorney.
The alleged victim, admitted in open court that she lied on her original statement and was drunk and off hermedication. He convinced me that the judge and jury would believe she was lieing to protect me. He said if I did not take the plea deal of 2 yrs prison, followed by 3 years probation, I would lose trial and receive the max. He coerced me into taking a plea deal that significantly damaged my life, despite all the evidence of my innocence.
He never presented any evidence that would have helped my defense. He did absolutely nothing but promise good results and lie. He took my hard earned money and did nothing in return, but scare me into signing a plea deal, despite the evidence of my innocence, including the alleged victims testimony.

I hired Nick Dorsten for a felony case, and I would say that he was very ineffective and inexperienced. He worked on my case for 8 months, I literally provided all the evidence he needed to win my case, and he didn’t do anything. He literally sat on exculpatory evidence for 5 months, than tried to force me to take a plea when I repeatedly advised him that I was not guilty and refused to plea out. I worked with him for over 8 months and he had no defense built for trial that was rapidly approaching in 3 days. Please be weary! I don't want to give too slander or details in fear of being sued, but just be careful when you choose your attorney. Thankful I found an exceptional attorney days before my trial that was able to get my case dismissed and they did more research in 48 hours than he was able to do in 8 months. If I went with him, I would have a record or worse, i could be in jail.

The last thing any business owner wants is to be sued. Unfortunately this will happy to every successful business owner. That’s where Nick shines. He starts communication with the other attorney and let’s them know we are prepared to do what it takes to resolve or negotiate the matter. He is very experienced at litigation. He has given us peace of mind so we can keep doing what we do best in our Business. If you find yourself being sued you can trust Nick Ekonomides to help you.

I called Nickolas with some questions to see if I had a case concerning some real estate. He was an excellent listener, and spent 20 minutes with me on the phone, even though he'd already advised me that I could use small claims court and didn't need his services. He answered every question and then some. Very professional, very considerate.

Nick Ekonomides helped me through a very tough and protracted business litigation matter (shareholder dispute) that I was dealing with.
Nick was very level-headed throughout the extended litigation and I am very thankful that he believed in me and my case. He went way above-and-beyond and was my calming force throughout the emotional roller-coaster of ups-and-downs in my litigation.
He worked diligently and tirelessly to get me get a fair and equitable outcome and to ensure justice was served in my case and ultimately helped me get a resolution to the matter that I was happy with.
I highly recommend Nick if you have any commercial / business litigation matters as I believe he will give you a high level of service and representation like he did for me.
Thanks again Nick! 5 Stars all the way!

This Lawfirm was a waste of crucial time and money! Our legal issues only worsened and have been VERY difficult paying more experienced firms to resolve due to their errors! We wish they were honest and referred us for
a more educated & experienced lawyer. Now our situation has become a seriously bad situation directly from the mistakes caused by this person!

I had made a free appointment for a legal consultation in the past and met with John McGuire who gave me his honest opinion that I didn’t need a lawyer at that time. He didn’t ask for any payment for that appointment which I really appreciated since I was hesitant at first thinking I would have to pay if I saw a lawyer. I remembered the law office when I got in a bad car accident in 2019 and made another appointment. I had so many medical bills and all these adjusters were calling me asking for statements but John McGuire helped me feel relieved right away. His paralegal, Mindy, kept me updated on my case and seemed to really be on top of my case. Not only did I end up getting a nice settlement but Mindy also negotiated my medical bills so I got even more money in the end. I didn’t even know you can negotiate medical bills like that! I Would definitely recommend anyone who has legal questions or issues to go to McGuire Law Offices!

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.
