David Bower helped me through my child support and custody case. He effectively and efficiently worked with my ex-husband's lawyer to come to a reasonable agreement. He was always prompt with his responses to my concerns, and he provided sound advice. Mr. Bower went above and beyond what he needed to do to help us settle out of court, and I am so grateful. If I ever need legal assistance again, I know who to call.

I used Mr. Gabriel Ogueri as my attorney on my Immigration case. I have since referred him many clients, he is an excellent attorney. I was actually referred to him after having hired an attorney from Cameroon and the secretary there referred me to him after I explained to her what a nightmare Ms. Ndoko (my former attorney) had made of my case. The secretary told me he was a very good attorney and that he would help me sort my situation out. Well she was not lying unlike my previous attorney he returned any and every call I ever made to him. He kept me informed of everything going on with my case. I am still his client and I will be forever grateful for the referral, I have found the attorney to suit all my legal needs. Mr. Ogueri handles Criminal, Immigration, Car Accident and Civil cases. The only word needed to describe his service and work is "EXCELLENT".

Mary Alice represented me against an attorney who failed to timely file a report. As a result of the lawyer’s negligence, I was unable to pursue my former lawsuit. The case settled before trial for a confidential amount. Mary Alice is personable, exceptionally thorough, and sincerely cares about who you are. Her substantial experience gives her valuable insight when advising clients on settlement and trial decisions. Her skill and reputation, I feel, increased my chance for the favorable outcome I obtained. I was very fortunate to have a lawyer and staff of this caliber. I highly, highly recommend Mary Alice Mclarty!

I was recommended by our family lawyer in another state in a personal injury case stemming from an automobile accident, where I suffered multiple injuries, operations and a lengthy rehabilitation. At our initial meeting, Mary Alice and her team came well prepared and displayed the highest level of professionalism and her expressed her deepest compassion for my family and I. Mary Alice provided a thorough and honest evaluation of the potential medical claim and the risks associated with personal injury cases. Working with her through this process, I was impressed by her high level of integrity, competence, experience and keeping us well informed. She also excercised great due professional care in managing the out of pocket expenses and always looked after our best interests. Although we were prepared to go to trial, Mary Alice was able to obtain a favorable settlement through arbitration. It was obvious that the opposing Attorneys, Arbitrator and the Judge respected her credibility, integrity and abilities, which contributed in obtaining a fair settlement for me and my family. I highly recommed Mary Alice McLarty!

I hired Mr.Peter Anderson a few months ago to handle my medical malpractice case. I first found Mr. Anderson because of his name recognition in the industry. I found that every where I went I was referred to him because he is the most recognizable man in the industry and rightfully so. I would highly recommend him because of his knowledge regarding medical malpractice and his name recognition.

Ryan helped guide a company I worked for through a very large litigation. His abilities were fantastic and he was able to over the course of the litigation obtain the results we wanted which was the case being thrown out as meritless. His style in not only attacking the other side, but their facts, was exactly what any client would want in litigation. I highly recommend him.

Tom is a lawyer of action rather than just words. I hired him for a non-subscriber work injury. Prior to Tom, I initially hired an attorney, who never kept me informed, never would return my phones and was basically a lawyer of inaction and did not seemed to care about my case.
However, we Tom I just the opposite. Tom has excellent knowledge in that he has worked in the real business world prior to becoming a lawyer. He can empathize with the client and his case. He immediately became active on my case and has worked out a plan of action and has kept me informed.
I would recommend him and give him a five star rating. In my opinion he is a top gun as an attorney and rises above the lack of notification of case status and promptly returns phone calls.
I am Tom is in my corner fighting for me. f you desire to have a good lawyer with a well rounded background that is courteous and will fight for your, give Tom a call!!!!!

I absolutely love Ms. Kerr!! She came on as my attorney a few days before my trial and got me exactly what I wanted from my divorce. I can't thank her enough for what she has done for my child and I. I was completely stressed to the max and didn't know what I was going to do. She is my hero and cares more about you as a person, than what she can get out of you. If you need a great attorney, she is the one. THANK YOU!!

I tried handling my own personal injury a few years ago, thinking I couldn't afford to hire an attorney and to try and do it myself, but I got absolutely no where with the insurance company because they didn't want to pay my claim. They knew I didn't have an attorney and so they thought they didn't have to take care of my medical bills and for my pain and suffering. I have learned how much weight hiring the right attorney means in getting justice! I sure needed help and someone told me to go see Robert Kemp that had had great success with him, and I'm so glad I took this person's advice! You'll know after meeting him that you hired the right attorney! The insurance company sure paid attention when Robert took over my case and he got me the compensation that I deserved. I am thankful for this wonderful attorney!

From the first phone call I made to Mr. Bush, until the final court appearance, he was absolutely outstanding. He was extremely informative, quick to respond, and positive. I had a pretty bad legal problem in Dallas and in Collin county, but he got them both resolved with an outcome that was even better than I was hoping for. I can’t express enough how much I would recommend hiring him. 100% A+++

Mr. Wiseman worked on mine and my wife's case sometime last year. Originally, we were told by another Attorney that the final outcome was not going to be in my our favor. We decided to go with another Attorney. We met with Mr. Wiseman and after consulting with him, we made the decision that he should handle both of our cases. A couple of months past and our case settled. Because of Mr. Wiseman's experience and dedication, the outcome was significantly better than expected.
In the future, I will recommend Mr. Wiseman to all my family and friends if they every need legal advise. Also, I will not hesitate to hire Mr. Wiseman again if I ever need assistance.

The words to sum up the tremendous amount of gratitude and appreciation to Tanja Martini and her team cannot possible be summed up in words. Mrs. Martini and her paralegal Vicki Gentry are a powerful team. They provided support, mentorship, guidance, counselling and worked over and beyond to make my case a success. I was always well informed and knew exactly where we were in the process. Mrs. Martini and team are very professionally and truly cares about their client’s success and well-being. I never felt like my case was too small or being put to the side for anything else. I felt like my case was a priority and knew that I was in good hands with the law firm. Mrs. Martini and team are very knowledgeable, competent, professional, and pleasant. Mrs. Martini and team were very accessible and provided guidance throughout the entire process. There isn’t another lawyer who could have handled my case better and I am forever grateful.
Very Respectfully,
Chassidy

I recommend Tanja for anyone looking for a strong attorney to fight for your case. We discussed the details of my dispute, developed a game plan, and filed a claim against the other party. Tanja kept me abreast of the results and effectively revealed the discrepancies in the other party's false responses. I would not hesitate to use her services again.

Mr. January did everything he could to make sure that my insurance company took care of my expenses and then was able to get me some additional money after everything was paid.
He always let me know where we were in the case and went the extra mile to make sure I was taken care of. Having a car accident is traumatic enough without worrying about the expense. He helped me through this part of the ordeal.
I felt comfortable with him working for me and always felt he had my best interest at heart.

Mr. Addison directly addressed my concerns without wasting time and most importantly my money. I appreciated his directness in laying out multiple paths and the consequences of each outcome. Other attorney's wanted to just tell me only the positive things I wanted to hear, just as so long as I kept writing large checks.

Finding Scott Frenkel was really an act of God...or maybe my deceased mother, or both. There is not enough room in this little box to share my personal admiration and professional experience with him. I'm no big corporation with deep pockets, but just an individual that was being wronged. Scott understood that. With all the cards laid out in my favor on the day we met, Scott listened to my "story" with the utmost compassion, professionalism, and expertise I could have asked for. He is fair, forthcoming, eager, and spot on brilliant. His attention to my case and immediate needs never wavered. Fortunately for me, he had an unexpected cancellation on the day I arrived at his office and he championed my cause. I was prepared, had documented proof of my case, and thru my story, tried to bring Scott along with me....and he was right there. Never a distraction, interruption, etc., my time with him was always my time. His support staff is top notch as well. It was a seemless experience. The outcome of my case was great for me....not so much for the other party. Scott is an exciting person to work with should you be lucky enough to get to. I value getting to know him and to have had this experience. It was great!

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.
