After an accident that took my husbands life, I was introduced to Mr. James Spagnuolo. He is hard working, personable, understanding, and keeps you informed of what is happening with your case. He won my case, represented me with the Magistrate and told me I could call him anytime. He is true to his word. James has since represented me and again won my case. If you want a Lawyer that listens, is heartfelt, works very hard and treats you with concern and understanding, Hire James. I continue to recommend James and know that when I need help I can turn to him, trust him and know the firm is there for me.

Jeff was referred to me by my business attorney for an auto accident. From day 1 he has gone out of his way to treat me with kindness, respect and honesty. His explanations of the processes that need to be followed were easy to understand and thorough. He was sympathetic and straightforward about what was going to happen and how it was going to happen. While my case hasn't settled yet, I have nothing but good things to say about Jeff and his professionalism through out this process of getting my medical needs met.

Mr. Garton assisted me in 3 separate cases. All which ended in my favor. He is reasonably priced. He was extremely professional in all my cases & I highly recommend him.
I never once had communication problems with him or his staff. Everyone working for Mr. Garton was very helpful & professional.

Garton represented me in family court and his demeanor was unpleasant. Furthermore, he did not listen to my needs and he didn't do anything that I couldn't have done on my own. After this experience, I believe the minimal services he did on my behalf were not nearly close to what he charged me. I would not recommend him as he didn't do his job and also didn't file responses on time.

Arthur is a very nice attorney, He helped me with a case that could have gone to trial and we probably would have won. But we settled because I chose to settle due to the costs of trial. Not because he said I should make a decision because that's what he wanted or anything along those lines. Every step was always explained with options. He went over the finances in detail and was informative regarding the process. Although we had a great case.... he did not pressure me and he was understanding to my decision. He got me a great settlement where the misdemeanor for retail fraud will be off my record in 1 year with non reporting probation. There was one 6hour class I had to take and that was it. He did what he said he would do and didn't nickle and dime me and there was no "surprise" bill in the mail after it was all said and done like I have experienced in the past with lawyers. He is straight forward and will not leave you in the dark. If you leave a message at his office he does return the call and that is important to me. He is very professional and also has a good sense of humor. The most positive part about hiring Arthur was the fact that I knew he purely believed in me. He never doubted me or my situation for a minute. He is unlike any other attorney I have ever had and I am grateful to know if I were to ever need an lawyer in the future I know who I will call.

My first impression was amazing however after being blown off and sent to voicemails for over a week, I highly recommend not using this agency. Mr. Michael Taylor blows off clients and lacks integrity and is lazy. He is not a fighter and lacks a fire and drive within to help people. His secretary is very sweet but just sends you to voicemail. I sent paperwork for him to review and he never got back with me. Quite honestly you would be better off going to court on your own then to have lazy lawyers like this . Zero stars

Steevie and attorney Mike Taylor are first-rate professionals. The entire staff was pleasant and welcoming. They helped me navigate a challenging probate case, especially given recent law changes in Michigan. If you have a probate case, I highly recommend their services. They were courteous, efficient, and demonstrated excellent communication and determination. I would gladly recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you, team!

Zero-Star Review for Robert Huth at Kirk, Huth, Lange & Badalamenti, PLC**
I feel compelled to express my profound dissatisfaction with Robert Huth's performance as the city attorney for the Charter Township of Shelby. In 2023, I initiated a formal complaint and was assured of a supportive meeting with Mr. Huth by the township supervisor, promised during a recorded call. Unfortunately, this meeting never transpired, and my attempts to communicate with the township supervisor were met with prolonged radio silence. This lack of engagement persisted into the next year, 2024, raising serious concerns about the transparency and integrity of the township’s leadership. Based on my experiences, I suspect there may be deeper issues of misconduct or corruption that are being concealed. I believe an investigation by an outside agency is necessary to uncover the full extent of what might be serious corruption within our township. This is purely my opinion, formed from the distressing lack of accountability and responsiveness I have encountered.
It was not until 2024 that I received a callback from Mr. Huth. The interaction was unexpectedly brief and unsettlingly nonchalant, as if prior discussions had taken place or resolutions offered neither of which was the case. This approach not only hindered progress on pressing issues but also left me feeling overlooked and undervalued as a concerned resident.
From my perspective, the level of engagement and urgency demonstrated by Mr. Huth falls significantly short of what is expected from someone in such a pivotal role. The responsiveness and dedication to resolving township matters efficiently and transparently are crucial, yet seem to be lacking. My experiences have led me to question whether our community's needs are genuinely being prioritized.
Based on these interactions, I believe that our township would greatly benefit from a change in this position. Someone with a robust commitment to community issues and a proactive approach to communication is sorely needed. We deserve a city attorney who not only addresses our concerns promptly but does so with the seriousness and attention they warrant.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that Mr. Huth is not the right fit for his current role as city attorney. It is my sincere hope that our township will consider making a change that better aligns with the needs and expectations of its 80,000 residents. We need leadership that is both responsive and responsible qualities that are essential for the health and well-being of our community.

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.
