This the second time I have worked with this firm, the first being a significant issue 30+ years ago. They were genuine, compassionate, patient and successfully resolved the situation. Having just had the pleasure of working with Josh Goodbaum I can say that those qualities have continued over time. They are without doubt an 11 on a scale of 1-10.

Jacobs & Wallace are absolutely amazing! From the lawyers to paralegals, to other office staff they all treat you so kindly. They are also very knowledgeable. They have gone above and beyond for me in so many ways. If you need someone in your corner during a difficult time, then this is the team to choose! I can't thank attorney Wallace for everything he's done and his team! You guys have truly been my back bone and pushed me to the end! This will always be number one pick for a personal injury lawyer if I need one!

I got to my 50s without having ever sued or been sued by anyone, and hoped to get through life that way. When a GEICO-insured motorist hit me while I was biking, I truly tried to reach a fair out of court settlement without a lawyer. No dice. GEICO thwarted my good intentions, so I hired Alphonse Balzano. Best. Decision. Ever. He listened to what I did and didn't want in the suit, and worked hard, getting me a good settlement (way higher than I had asked for on my own) that put some real fear into GEICO. Years later, a GEICO-insured motorist damaged my house. Again I had trouble getting them to settle reasonably - till I raised Attorney Balzano's name. This time, they settled in a hurry! :-)

We're planning to sell a cottage and needed a real estate attorney. My husband found an advertisement in our local newspaper & when we were talking to our real estate agent, she recommended Tammy. Since she has property at our lake, we felt very comfortable talking to her about our issues. She is just wonderful, easy to talk to, very pleasant & we are very proud to have her as our real estate attorney. We only wish we could have met her years ago, instead of just recently, because as far as we are concerned, she's the best one, yet! Not only did we hire her for this transaction, but if we ever need an attorney for other issues, she will now be the one we will be consulting with.

“Atty. Peter Dreyer and paralegal Kimberly Wood diligently and patiently assisted my family and I through a long and complicated legal process. From day one I never felt alone or like my team wasn’t supporting me in my case. I was impressed by their thoroughness, patience and excellent communication. I especially appreciate how patient Attorney Dreyer was in helping me to understand such an overwhelmingly complicated process. Attorney Dreyer and Kimberly Wood always went above and beyond to make certain I was as comfortable and confident as possible through the depositions and interviews. I was often surprised at how thoughtful they were, something I really appreciated especially as I struggled constantly with my health. The support from Attorney Dreyer and Kimberly Wood helped me get through what has been the most difficult time in my life. I sincerely cannot imagine getting through this arduous and harrowing process with anyone else. I highly recommend Attorney Dreyer for malpractice cases. The level of professionalism, patience, support and thoroughness are second to none.

We first contacted Peter when we started our medical malpractice journey almost five years ago shortly after the surgery accident happened. He and his paralegal assistant Kim expertly guided us through the long judicial process , handling not only the complex legal issues but all of the roller-coaster emotional ones as well. It became quite evident that we made a great lawyer choice when we witnessed all of the other lawyers during depositions. Peter was clearly head and shoulders above the rest - he was always well prepared, having completely researched all of the medical procedures and surgical tool nuances so that he knew exactly what questions to ask the witnesses. He always remained calm, courteous and professional when questioning them, and left no stone unturned. When we became frustrated with the slow process, which dragged on for years (partly due to being in the midst of Covid), he always listened patiently to our concerns, responded in a way we understood, and never pressured us one way or the other - decisions were always, in the end, left up to us (although he clearly gave us his own recommendations). He and Kim were "our team", and we knew we could always contact them if we had questions or issues. We are relieved that this chapter is behind us, and would certainly recommend Peter to anyone needing this type of assistance.

Paul and his team are truly the best in the business. I highly recommend Attorney Kaplan- You would be crazy not to use him!

We used Paul Kaplan's office to sell our house in New Haven. We had relocated across country before we had a chance to sell it, so we had to sell it remotely. Fortunately, we found some wonderful people to buy it and could do a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transaction, but we needed a capable seller's attorney's office to handle all the paperwork for us. The entire transaction was as smooth as it could possibly be. Paul's office was very competent. We gave Paul a limited power-of-attorney to handle the transaction for us. Aside for a last minute scurry to find a notary public here (hint: use Yelp) here, there really weren't any problems at all. Anytime I had any questions at all, I knew that I could call Paul or toss him an e-mail and he'd call me right back. After closing, Paul's office wired the balance of funds as soon as they settled the books (one business day!). Because of wire fraud, they were careful to make sure I was really me, and my bank account was really mine, which I appreciated. Over all, I couldn't have been happier. Well, I could have been. I would have liked to have shaked the hands of Paul and his team for doing such a great job. What could have been a stressful situation (remotely selling a house) was instead a dream. Now we have the funds to fix the fixer-upper we bought on the west coast!

First of all, Attorney Boni-Vendola is an outstanding lawyer and I give my strongest recommendation. Attorney Boni-Vendola is my third lawyer for my divorce case, and I only regret I didn't find her earlier. My first lawyer is from a pretty well-known firm and was referred to me by someone I work with. But very surprisingly, she went to the judge's chamber and made a deal on behalf of me against my will (even though I was very clear about what I wanted before she went to see the judge). Furthermore, she pressured me to sign the agreement. Thinking back, I don't think she was ill intentioned, she just wanted to get me divorced as soon as she could and she may not have enough experience for cases like mine. After talking with other professionals, they all suggested me to change a lawyer. With a friend's referral, I started with my 2nd lawyer. He is super nice, but he is very busy and didn't have much time for my case. I had worked with him for a little over a year (COVID made all the divorce cases delayed) and felt very frustrated. That's when a professional recommended Attorney Boni-Vendola. Attorney Boni-Vendola is a completely different experience! She is very experienced (you will know by the suggestions she gives, how she works with another party and the judges), efficient (never waste your time when speaking with you, and get right to the point), listened to what I wanted and fought on my behalf, would not let me waste money on things not necessary. Most importantly, she was after me for what I should do, not the other way around. Examples include knowing that I wanted the divorce trial to happen ASAP, she filed for objection right after my ex-husband submitted his request to postpone the trial date. I only found out these activities through online notifications altogether with judge's approval to our objection a couple of days later. I really appreciate the way she handled this and her consideration because it would only add my worry if I knew. She also standed on my point of view to think and gave me invaluable advice. Mostly importantly, she did not pressure me on anything. I am very grateful that I had her as my attorney and I strongly recommend her without any reservation.

I hired Corrine to help me with my divorce in 2008, based on a friend’s recommendation. She helped me and supported me during a very difficult time, as did her entire staff. Since then she has helped me with several things such as Wills, Living Wills, etc. Her firm has always treated me fairly financially and they have promptly helped me with anything I have ever asked for. She is a true professional. Look no further.

Hey Bill Thank you so much for yesterday and being a true support through this process. I don’t think I would have gotten through this with out your constant support and help, you are a true gentleman and one of the fairest people I have ever met. I can never repair you for being who you are. Thank you, my wife thanks you, my boys thank you as does my family.

I have worked with Paul Levin’s office on numerous occasions for litigation purposes. I retained Paul’s firm to work on several workers compensation claims and personal injury claims resulting from an at fault driver’s negligence. Paul and his staff assisted me in every step of the way from the day of a major motor vehicle accident, through the multiple surgeries, into therapy and post therapy. Paul and his staff are extremely compassionate, patient, and understanding with each case they work. I have known Paul and his legal team for well over 15 years now and continue to use his legal knowledge, expertise and understanding of complex personal injury law. Paul is committed to excellence and dedication to his clients by building rapport with outstanding professionalism. I have personally referred numerous clients to his firm that emboldens his ability to fight strong and achieve great monetary gains and seek justice. His dedication to the pursuit of justice and negotiating skills is evident by the way he carries himself as an attorney and as an individual. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a fair, honest and straightforward attorney who goes after companies and individuals regardless of the roadblocks that are put in the way. Paul and his team do not let outside noise taint their ability to achieve greatness in litigation and settlement. If you are looking for muscle, walls of law, and perseverance look no further than the Law offices of Paul Levin.

He was up front and honest about everything and very professional. He could have easily convinced me to give him 1000 dollars as some attorneys would have done knowing how the situation would end. His advice essentially told me what to do. He is definitely a stand up guy. His compassion hit home for me. I would absolutely recommend him and I would use him in the future. thanks Greg Marc

Attorney Einhorn and his legal staff have been nothing less than stupendous in every effort. Our family used Einhorn Law Office for a real estate closing several years ago.

On two other recent and separate occasions I had referred Attorney Einhorn to a family member for legal council regrading traffic violation and in another situation a friend for a slip and fall case. Attorney Geoff represented clients in court multiple times and the outcomes were the desired result each time. I cannot express enough how much we appreciate Attorney Einhorn and his knowledgeable legal staff. My wife and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Einhorn Law firm to any family member or friend. Before you go anywhere else, go here first.

Stuart has 2 cases for me. In 2009, he handled my car accident case, and kept me informed of everything that was going on with my case. If I was unsure about anything he was talking about, he took the time to explain all the terms that I was unclear about. I never felt like he forgot about my case or that I wasn't getting the attention I needed. He was right there any time there was a new development in the case, I and was immediately informed. He gave me great advice on what was coming, and what to expect. He settled the case and I was very happy with the results! In 2011, he also handled my child custody case. He fought for everything that I wanted, and made sure that I was happy with the outcome. When I told him I wanted the child support portion to go through the state Child Support Enforcement Division, he was very clear, and expressed to the judge all of the facts that supported that portion of my case. I would recommend Stuart to anyone, for both Motor Vehicle accidents, and family court issues!

I hired Conrad as my attorney for the sale of my home and the purchase of a new home. He did a great job in both instances however with the buying process he went more than above and beyond. I worked with what ended up being a very complicated and unorganized lender and Conrad and his team worked more than overtime to accommodate all their, at times, excessive requests. An example of the extra work put in by Conrad was going to the town hall after business hours in order to record the deed. I can honestly say I do not feel I would have been able to close on my house in the timeline I did if it were not for Conrad. My family was out of a home and we were in desperate need to close and be able to move into our new home and Conrad and his team work tirelessly to ensure we were able to close as quickly as possible. If I could give more than 5 stars I would and I wholeheartedly recommend Conrad as an attorney.

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.
