I am a small business owner who was searching for legal representation with a matter with the State of California. Nathan was responsive, thorough, professional, and most off all, committed to ensuring I received the best outcome for my business. We both expected this matter to last 30 days at the most, but it ended up taking 9 months to receive an outcome. Nathan provided me clear and informed choices that I could pursue and, in the end, an outcome that kept me in business. I am grateful and very happy with Nathan's services. Thank you!

I had some questions and concerns regarding use of my medical license to order medications for international use. After contacting several lawyers I was referred to Nathan Mubasher who had the expertise and experience to provide guidance. During an initial phone consultation he was able to answer a lot of my questions and then provided a detailed proposal with a reasonable service fee. After our consultation I decided that I did not want to pursue the endeavor, therefore I did not sign on for services. However, I would definitely recommend him if you are seeking legal advice in this area. He was professional, knowledgeable and prompt with communication.

From the moment I met Nathan, I knew I was in capable hands. Facing false allegations was a nightmare, but Nathan navigated every twist and turn with unwavering dedication and expertise. Their meticulous attention to detail and strategic approach gave me confidence throughout the entire process. Not only did they vigorously defend my innocence, but they also provided invaluable support and reassurance during a difficult time. Thanks to Nathan, justice prevailed, and I can't recommend their services highly enough.

Joe Hudack is simply amazing. I worked with him to set up my family trust and it was painless and effortless.
Then tragedy struck and I needed his help with a probate for my mother's estate. Joe was nothing but professional and helped me navigate the probate courts in the least painful way.
I can't say enough about how professional and responsive Joe is. If/when you need him, he's there for you.

From the first time we spoke about legally changing my name and all through the process Omer Rangoonwala was easy to get a hold of and eager to answer my questions. He made me feel as though I really could call him any time I had a question. He was also accessible through email. Everything he told me about the process is exactly what happened including the time frame for resolution. There is more involved in changing your name than first meets the eye. I feel fortunate to have had an expert who knew every step and required very little involvement from me. He also made sure I had the necessary contact information for Social Security and DMV after his service was complete. The best experience I have had with an attorney bar none!

After sitting five minutes with Vonya I new my case and life was about to change for the good. The main thing she did was listen and supported me and my family from the start. She was able to explain everything in detail which removed my anxiety and fear. She then took over and started fighting for me. Her sensitivity, patience’s, and professionalism is bar none. I was looking at ten years, with four felonie strikes. I ended up going to trial. My case ended with me receiving 58 days work released, and informal probation.

I needed legal advice on how to negotiate a landlord and tenant dispute and a friend recommended Mr. Iles. I had heard that most attorneys charged a consultation fee, which made me hesitant in seeking advise. To my surprise, Mr. Iles not only helped me with my lease issue, but did so without charging me a consultation fee. Rare in this day and age, yet greatly appreciated. When I asked him why, his response was, "one kind act, begets another" and that I had helped him fulfil his pro bono requirement, whatever that meant.
If I ever have another legal issue to deal with, I will undoubtely give Mr. Iles a call.

I have personally known Ivan since Jr. High School. I have consulted with him off and on over the years regarding personal & business legal matters and he's always given me sound advice and made recommendations to me to follow through on legal matters, including lawsuits. While I have always taken matters in to my own hands, having a very knowledgeable attorney as a friend is always calming knowing I have someone on my side. Should I ever have a legal matter that he will be able to handle and I need help, Ivan would be the only person I'd hire.... not because he is a friend, but someone I would trust. I have referred friends to him and, if he wasn't able to help, was always able to refer them to someone who could help them.

Attorney Iles really saved the day! Not only was my car illegally towed by the city, the tow company involved caused damage to the gas tank during the tow and of course refused to take responsibility. Attorney Iles was not afraid to take on the city or the tow company. He refused to be intimidated. He fearlessly and valiantly fought for me and WON!!! He made both the city and the tow company pay! This is the guy!!!

Having John Tiedt & Paul Molinaro as my lawyers was a very positive experience due to the fact I did not have to worry about anything in the past 2 years. John and Paul are extremely knowledgeable (Paul being a past doctor helped immensely with my case). Their timely and empathetic communication skills were thorough and reliable. I had total confidence in their abilities and can't recommend them enough.

John represented me in a medical malpractice case. John had a background defending medical malpractice cases, so he brought a unique perspective to the table. From day one, he was very clear about how the process would work and surprisingly accurate about timelines and other estimates. We eventually reached a fair settlement that I was pleased with. John kept in constant contact and always made clear what was needed and when it was needed. The process is never fast and easy, but John made it as painless as possible.

I contacted Kelly to help me with a neighbor dispute where I was being harassed by my neighbors almost every other day for over a year. I started getting physically ill, and it was getting worse by the day. I don’t know where I would be if she did not intervene and stop the harassment. She gave me clear advice, acted quickly and achieved excellent results. I owe her much more than I could ever repay. I got my life back, my peace and joy too. She is smart, straightforward, trustworthy, hard working, compassionate, and a wonderful advocate. I highly recommend her.

Attorney Jay helped me out with my injury case a couple months ago. I called around a couple of places and most took my name and number and I couldn't talk to a lawyer. My friend recommended Jay and I called his number and he picked up and talked to me about my case for a long time and helped me with all the questions I had. Extremely pleased with the results of my case and I'm very pleased with the level of service. Thank you so much Jay!

I was asked by a friend (not internet savvy) to help search for some legal advice, so I turned to yelp to filter out the top rated lawyers to cut down on call time.
Aventus was the second on the list that I had called and ended up being the last since I didn't need to call on any others. They genuinely listened to the scenario and gave some sound feedback. I setup an appointment so they could talk directly in detail with my friend. I'm happy that Aventus helped my friend get things resolved quickly, and my call list short! Their 5 star review is well deserved!

What a great group of guys. Jay and Jonathan really took care of me during my accident process. I got rear ended SO HARD that my car stopped working, it was immobile, and i was in a lot of back pain. The person that rear ended me also didnt even have insurance! These guys really helped me feel at ease that everything will be taken care of and I was compensated for my time and medical bills that followed taking care of my injuries. Its nice having someone to take care of process for you so you can just go see the right physicians to get back to normal healthy living and you didnt have to spend hours on the phone with insurance companies, back and forth, stuck in limbo, not knowing if your bills will be covered or not. A+ for these guys! Thank you!

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.
