I have known Tracy Davis and practiced law with her for over 25 years, I originally hired Tracy, in part because she had been a competitive ice skater and knew the value of hard work, as a lawyer in our predessor firm, Fonda, Garrard, Hilberman & Davis, She quickly became a 'go to' lawyer in that firm and its successor firm, Garrard & Davis, which was the predecessor to her current firm The Davis Law Group. Tracy has always distinguished herself as a person and lawyer with the confidence to take on and solve any challenge. She is smart, disciplined, caring and absolutely reliable. You won't find a lawyer who takes her client's cases to heart more than Tracy.

I was unfortunately involved in a lawsuit following a car accident I had. Ms. Davis reviewed the complaint and advised me as to what I should and shouldn't be concerned about, who to talk to, how to answer various questions relating to the accident, and just generally helped calm the situation for me. I found the lawsuit very disturbing and Ms Davis helped me weather the storm with confidence. The suit was eventually dismissed.

I had an amazing experience working with Roger Senders. He was the 3rd attorney I went to, trying to get help understanding the differences of my dad's original and revised Trust & Will.
He spoke to me with great patience, clarity, and knowledge. He was generous with his time and compassionate for what all this meant to me and my sister. I can't recommend him enough and deeply trust his knowledge, professionalism, intelligence, fairness, care, honesty, patience, and willingness to offer more clarity if we needed.
Roger also consulted with a colleague regarding a specific CA law to ensure accuracy, which I really appreciated especially bc my dad had dementia when his Trust was changed with his wife. So I appreciate that he was very thorough and humble too.
His heart is pure & kind and his mind is very sharp. He is patient and his knowledge is extensive. Beyond valuable. Thank you deeply Roger for restoring peace in my heart, mind & family.

Sawsan is an extremely caring attorney who always gives 100% to her clients. She represented me in my very contentious divorce a few years ago and walked me through it every step of the way. Her demeanor is very calming and she genuinely cares about her clients. I recently referred a very good friend of mine to her and she has had nothing but raving reviews about Sawson.

It's tough to find a lawyer who will return your calls, much less take on your medical malpractice case. Steve Davis actually answered his phone and listened as I outlined my case. He was skeptical it had merit but offered me an hour-long $750- consult (he ended up giving me two hours) so I could educate myself about my options and likelihood of success. Steve is straight-talking and highly experienced; I felt I could trust his take. With no further expenditure by me, he sent my doctor a Notice of Intent to Sue and additional necessary notices. When my doc's lawyer finally responded, Steve knew the guy and could cut to the chase. I was able to get a full settlement (the max allowed by California law) without setting foot in a courtroom. Ask for a consult with Steve to educate yourself about your options. And believe what he says. Steve is conscientious, smart, tough and fearless. And he didn't need my money, so I knew I wasn't getting a sales pitch. Great experience!

A coworker of mine referred me to the Law offices of Lee Arter, which was the best thing that happened to me. I was In a vehicle accident while being about 8 weeks pregnant and the other person was at fault. Unfortunate to say, I had a miscarriage within 48 hours. Attorney Orly Talmor took on my case which was the biggest blessing. Anyone reading this who happens to have gone through a similar situation, I highly recommend this law office but specifically Orly! She was very compassionate and sympathetic, and was able

She took my money, made what turned out to be empty promises. Charged me near $1000 for a video hearing where she spent more time playing around in her office than pating attention. Alloed my due process rights to be violated. Late filings, no filings. Charged me for giving her the information needed for court, and sat there quiet... never using it. The other party committed perjury 3 times in one 45 min hearing, and although Anne had the evidence right in front of her, ahe chose not to us it, layer telling me it was now moot. Whrn i asked why she did not present it, she told me that it was not her job to present facts that discredit the other side... it was for the judge to figure it out. When i asked her to correct her mistakes, she sent me an additional bill, and yried to extort me for money, or let her quit after making a big mess. There is more than this, but dont believe these reviews about how great she is... she will scam you out of your mo ey, and find an exit ramp soon after. We are going to court abd i will be filing a state bar complaint, to try to get my money to pay someone to fix her negligence and malpractice. YES I HAVE PROOF!

This has been my worst experience I have ever had. No communication and very unhelpful. Always showed up late to meetings and to court and even lost my case. Had to go to someone better. I recommend everyone to go and find someone who is actually qualified to do their job. Huge waste of money and he was not friendly at all. All he cares about is money and I think he honestly has no idea what he is talking about.

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.
