Attorney Jason Sucoll is one of the most professional people I've ever met. First and foremost this man is very well educated. He may be young but he's certainly not inexperienced. What he did for me is nearly a miracle. Do to the pandemic along with extenuating circumstances my case went on for over three years. Every single time this man showed up. Not just showed up but showed up mentally and ready to go. I would recommend him to anyone. If you ever get yourself in some trouble, he will be the guy that will get you the best result. Jason you truly are a miracle worker. Sincerely, Thomas Gonthier

I had received a charge for reckless driving (major moving violation) and sought Jason's legal counsel. Jason took the time to explain in detail the impact of several outcomes that could occur and what options we had - ultimately reducing the charge to speeding (simple traffic violation). I was very impressed with his attention to detail, his willingness to answer any and all questions I had accurately and timely, and professional demeanor that kept me calm during a stressful time. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone that is in need of legal counsel. 5/5 stars!

As a result of injuries sustained in a car accident caused by a young man who ignored a stop sign, I sought the services of Attorney Ken Namnoun. During my initial visit with Ken, I felt very much at ease at to how this process would progress. Ken was extremely warm, but professional, and was thorough in communicating with me the status of my case on a very regular basis. He was well informed of the laws regarding every aspect of this case and had a talent for presenting complicated language very simply making it easy to understand. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case, and would recommend Attorney Namnoun without reservation.

I had an outstanding experience working with Jim Miron, his assistant Gillian, and the rest of his team at the Maddox Law Firm on my car accident case. From the very beginning, Jim demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to my case. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. One of the things I appreciated most about Jim was his kindness and understanding. Since English is my second language, I was initially worried about being able to communicate effectively. However, he quickly put my fears to rest by offering warm words of encouragement and taking the time to explain everything in a way I could easily understand. He was always patient and ensured that I was comfortable with every decision and detail in the process. His knowledge and expertise in handling car accident cases were evident in the way he guided me through the complexities of the legal system. He and his team, of which Gillian was my case manager, kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and made me feel like a priority. Thanks to his and his team’s hard work and dedication, my case was successfully settled, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. Jim Miron is not only an exceptional attorney but also a genuinely caring individual who goes above and beyond for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Whether you’re facing language barriers or simply looking for someone you can trust, Jim Miron and his team at the Maddox Law Firm is what you want on your side.

Tony was suggested to me by another attorney. This was an motor vehicle accident where I was rear ended. Insurance company wanted to settle for 2k. I tried to work with them with out an attorney bad move. Tony came in and when they didn’t offer a fair settlement we went to trial - he was prepared and did a great job with jury selection. We won a much bigger settlement than I wanted or anticipated. He went above and beyond and his love of the law and his career are very evident and he’s a great lawyer.

Atty. Minchella represented my law firm and me personally when my ex-wife (also a lawyer) filed a lawsuit against me - years after our divorce was finalized and after a lengthy trial. What she didn't get from the state family court Judge, she tried to get by attempting an end run in Federal Court - claiming the lawsuit was a contractual claim pursuant to our former law partnership and thus "wasn't part of" the earlier divorce case. Needless to say, I was worried and thought I had seen the end of this woman's constant legal maneuvering and scheming. Plus, there was potentially millions of additional dollars at stake. Atty. Minchella stepped in and after a long fight, convinced the Federal Judge that the claim was baseless and contrary to the existing law. The case was dismissed and judgment entered in my favor. His legal skill and writing skill was top notch and impressive as I've been a trial lawyer for almost thirty years. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat.

Attorney Hwang, in my opinion, did a great job coaching me through "the process". Sure, I was furious, and ready to sue my former partner (probably at great expense) but Sung-Ho showed me reality (at least for my case) and helped apply enough pressure to capture what was a good settlement. There's always risk in doing business but it was refreshing to see the process actually work. Specifically, Attorney Hwang help me recover funds that were invested in a (former) friends company via a convertible note. Later on, after the business failed, rather than providing assets/IP to the lien holders, as the owner should have, he sold himself all of the company IP, subsequently exchanging it for a large position in yet another company. The owner told me the IP had no value but yet he exchanged it for nearly 30% of another company? Anyway, a morally and ethically corrupt former friend got what he deserved and I got a reasonable settlement. I learned a hard lesson. Good coaching, reasonable fee, and I got closure and a good settlement.

What I like about him he will take your calls as a client - something rare with many attorneys, listen attentively not to dismiss or interupt you, answer your questions and concerns, and is very reassuring and compassionate in the process. He will fight for you and mostly he know all different solutions to different scenarios. This attorney got me from very worried, to a great solution and peaceful life. I am forever grateful to him.

I hired Kenny for my divorce. He is smart, honest, compassionate, strong, and will fight for you throughout your case. No one ever prepares you for divorce, but Kenny navigated through the process every step of the way. His costs were reasonable and fair. My divorce was not an easy case and Kenny not only helped me on the legal side but also helped through the emotional aspects of divorce. He is fair and always looks out for your best interest. I recommend him without hesitation! You will not be disappointed.

I enjoyed working with Tommy. He picked up my case from an associate and quickly came up to speed. He did critical research which in the end completely derailed bogus counterclaims made by the defendant. He moved the process along at a steady pace and brought it to successful closure. He answered all of my questions and explain things to me in clear, easy to understand terms. He also leveraged his firms' resources well and was mindful of fees and expenses. I would use him again.

Following a harrowing automobile accident, I found myself at a loss for what to do next. After thoroughly researching personal injury attorneys, I decided upon the D'Amico & Pettinicchi law firm. Upon the initial consultation with attorney Michael D'Amico and his paralegal, Stacy Crochet, I experienced a sense of optimism and reassurance. Michael is not only a consummate professional, but he is also genuinely caring and compassionate. Throughout the entire process, Michael and Stacy were always readily available to address any concerns and provide guidance. My case was complex, and Michael's legal expertise was exceptional, especially during negotiations. Suffice it to say, my awarded amount was much more than I could have ever imagined. Hands down, I wholeheartedly recommend the law firm of D'Amico & Pettinicchi, if you require legal representation for a personal injury case.

He was very thorough and handles with great care all the detail of the case. He is very knowledgeable on the technical aspect of the law, he also understands the psychological importance of how the case is argued and presented during the trail. He personally worked me through of the different steps a case like mine goes through, and prepared me on what to expect. He kept me well informed on the status of the case as well as the strategy he was pursuing.

Nicole was a godsend during my divorce! The first thing I noticed, and what sets her apart from many other divorce lawyers, is that from the start she treats you like a person instead of a client portfolio. She is thoughtful and considerate of everyone's feelings during a difficult time, while also not afraid to say when it's time to be more aggressive. She always prepared me for what was next, and very patiently answered ALL of my questions. I never had difficulty reaching her quickly by phone or email. She has given me invaluable advice on how to make the smartest decisions for myself, my children and finances, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Highly recommended!

Paige represented us in a year long custody/ relocation case involving my daughter. She called very often to keep us up on the latest news etc. There was also never a time where I couldn't get a hold of her ( even after hours ). She poured her heart & soul into our " impossible case " to fight for what was right & to keep my family together. Against all odds & opinions of some colleagues , she saw it through to the end. It was SO comforting to know I had a genuine friend on my side instead of some heartless robot who would settle a case at the drop of a hat to save their reputation when things get tough. She won a true David & Goliath battle for me & my family. It is only because of Paige & the Lord above that I was / am able to remain active in my daughter's life! Truly a blessing !

When starting to prepare for putting a will together, there are so many things to consider. Some things that I never even realized I had to give thought to. Before starting the process, Neal patiently met with me and my husband to discuss specifics of what it means to have a will and all the pieces that go with it, and why it's important. We left his office with the knowledge and understanding of why it's really smart to take those steps, and we were better able to have an honest discussion about all the items required to make the documents effective. Discussing end-of-life issues is never fun or glamorous, but leaving your loved ones without properly preparing for your passing is a burden that you don't want to leave with the people most important to you at a time that will be so difficult. I can't thank Neal enough for making this process much smoother than I thought it could be.

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.
