Unprofessional, no sense of urgency, lacks communication and racist. Highly disappointed with this organization. I️ recommend finding another unbiased organization that will represent you without judgement and only love of the profession.

Short story: Mr. Morgan got my felony dropped down to a misdemeanor with NO JAIL TIME. Long story: I cant stress enough how well Mr. Morgan handled my case. It was rocky due to the State being the one pressing charges on me. I was on bond for Felony Terroristic Threats and Acts for about 3 years. Ive since gotten my life together and was having issues getting a good job still with a pending felony charge and all. I contacted Ted’s office as he’s been on my case from the beginning and stated it was best to wait it out, however I needed something done soon. He handled my case with urgency and got in contact with the ADA, and got them to agree to me pleading to a misdemeanor and doing some probation time. After a month tops, we had a court day set and I had a date to make my plea. Once getting to court, he discussed with me how things would go and how to handle myself in front of the judge. After 4 hours of waiting through other cases, it was my turn. Super nervous, but I was confident in Mr. Morgans abilities. After going through normal procedures with the case, the Judge agreed to the terms set forth by Mr. Morgan and the state’s ADA. I AM FELONY FREE, and after a year of pretty relaxed probation, I will be a free man. I can garuntee I’ll never be back in court. But if worst comes to worst, I’ll have Mr. Morgan by my side.

I had the pleasure of working with Ted and Candy at Ted Morgan Law, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Candy and made to feel welcome. Ted was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to understand my situation thoroughly. He listened attentively to my concerns and provided clear, concise legal advice. I would highly recommend Ted Morgan to anyone in need of legal services. Thank you to the entire team for your outstanding work!

Mr. Dodgen has made time for two consultations with me on a case I will pursue in the very near future. He is honest and trustworthy. He listened to my concerns and provided answers and advice best suited to my individual needs. This is the attorney I will be hiring to take my case, and I highly recommend that you do the same.

Absolutely terrible the only good thing I can say is that at least I got bonded out after hiring him bad news is I paid $5000 got out of jail after a day or two almost 2 years go by I get called in for Court turns out he becomes a judge now and since he’s a judge that means he can’t represent me in court so we have a motion to withdraw. OK that’s cool if someone from his firm could’ve represented me for maybe a slight refund so I can get a new lawyer instead I go through hell and back for about a week or two trying to get in contact with him and all they do is recommend me a lawyer so now I come out another $5000 for a new lawyer who I’ve actually never seen the face of to this day and didn’t show up to my court hearing and At hearing they gave me an offer that wasn’t terrible but not great almost 5months or so later I get a call from attorneys off about upcoming court and the new offer which so happens to be the exact same offer so moral of the story just go get a public defender if you choose here

Would not recommend. Staff never answers the phone. Attorney Martin did not take my case seriously and handled it very lazily. I did not feel valued or taken care of during my entire experience and wish I had hired a different lawyer.

Attorney Hoffman and his Secretary Annette were both just great. I can remember on two occasions when they went above and beyond the call of service. First, Mr. Hoffman provided me with step by step instructions on how to proceed after I was served papers by the sheriff’s office on behalf of the creditor that was suing us. He had me come to his office and he printed out the answer form that I need to take with me to the court, to Answer the judgment. Secondly, On our way to our Bankruptcy court hearing My husband and I got lost, I called his office, very stressful because we were almost late on getting there, spoke with Annette she gave me directions, stayed on the phone with me until we got there, and when we turned the corner Attorney Hoffman was right at the door looking for us and gestured us in his direction, he said we were up next, a sense of relieve came over me, for we had made it on time. Thanks to Annette for being at the office to assist us on finding the place. I called Annette back to thank her for staying on the phone with me and understanding that I was very stressful at the time, she was very understanding, and as a matter of fact she said that she was texting Mr. Hoffman to let him know that we were lost but we were very close and should arrive very soon. Kudos to that Team!

My husband and I went to seek council for a bankruptcy. From the moment we made the appointment the service was a joke. We were lied to by one member of the staff, then for lack of any better explanation verbally assaulted and talked down to by his paralegal who then openly flirted with my husband in front of me and then told me how to raise my special needs child...keep in mind all of this after they couldn't even manage to get our names correct. The final nail in the coffin was when I was able to get Mr. Hoffman on the phone. I relayed to him the events of our meeting and expressed my concerns, not only for myself but for anyone else unlucky enough to come into his office when he is away, and his EXACT words to me were, "Well she will be the one handling your file so if you can't work with her find another lawyer." Having worked in the legal system all I can say is I am shocked. If you value yor time and money and have any sense of self worth I strongly urge you to seek council elsewhere.

On March 6, 2018 I consulted with Attorney Katonga Wright to appeal a judgment. I spent about an hour providing complete and factual details in reference to my case. It is complex so I wanted to give her all of the information which was a large file that she copied. Ms. Wright asked many questions and took notes as I spoke. She offered sympathy at the fact that I had gone through all of this when I had not done anything wrong. She stated that I was not properly served and the amount the defendant took me back to court for was incorrect. She said that if one thing was wrong with the judgment that I was not present for, it rendered everything wrong and was a cause for an appeal. She explained that she used to work in Magistrate court and was confident that this could be resolved in my favor. On March 12, 2018 I emailed Ms. Wright confirming the services that she would provide for me. On March 13, 2018 she said she would review what was necessary and be in contact with me. On April 20, 2018 I asked for a full refund because she held my case beyond the 30-day appeal period. Had she informed me in a timely manner I could have sought legal counsel with another attorney. As of today I have contacted three other attorneys but have been unsuccessful in getting anyone to take my case. I am devastated that she held my case for so long before letting me know that she was not going to represent me. She knew I was declined for a home loan because this judgment is on my record. To date I have not been able to purchase a home. This has been a nightmare and instead of helping resolve the issue she made things worse when I did not think it was possible. Only after filing a grievance with the Georgia State Bar did I find out that she charged $500 for finding out information I gave her at our initial consultation. Her lack of response to my several (phone and email) attempts to communicate with her cost me money and time.

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:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. 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.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
