If I could give her 0 stars I would. She shouldn’t be practicing. She goes where the money is and who paid her. She was terrible. She meet with me for maybe 20-30 minutes and only cared if I owned my home, how much it cost, how much money I made, and my job title. She had no interest in me as a mother. Now my child is living with a herion addict uncle and a pill popping and pot smoking grandmother. All because they have hand me down money. I am suing and filing many complaints. The injustice needs to stop and they need to start doing what’s in the child best interest.

Hallock & Associates is The worst Decision I ever made in my Life. I was Paying 800 dollars a Month in the Program and 540 was Going towards Fees. For almost a year I was mis led thinking I was paying 270 a month in fees
Finally a customer service rep told me the Truth I was devastated but I was in too deep to quit the program even though I was told several times you always can get out of the program. No way was I was going to leave the program the Damaged was done. I can go on and on about Hallock & Associates But no Need the Federal government step in and froze all their assets and they are in litigation presently to this Day. I hope the attorney General Make them Payback all the illegal Fees they Received and Put them out of Business for Good. I really didn't want to give them one Star but I Had too or i wouldn't be able to Post my View

Hallock and Associates is a scam!! I trusted them and now I am in a worse place because of them. I have been paying them on time every month for 2 years $617.24. They settled 1 credit card. However my son’s bank account got garnished for over $10,000 his hard earned money. ( my name was on the account because he was a minor when he opened it) not one penny was mine! I was never notified of any court dates or hearings. Never received any notices. They were going to an attorney that I never talked to before. He never showed up for the hearing to handle this case and I never knew about it. Now I have more garnishments and summons that I have to handle. Hallock and Associates never answer their phones and send the same email back to me to call them. I can go on and on. Do NOT use them. I now have to file bankruptcy just to get out of all this. When before I enrolled with them I wasn’t even behind in my bills. Very Stressed out and my anxiety is through the roof. Horrible people that they can do this to us. Just found out that they have a lawsuit against them!! I want my money back!! You did Not hold up on your part of the agreement!!!

Mr Skelton represented me in years past and I would recommend him without question. Unlike the guy whose review prior to mine is almost nine years old and pled guilty to a child abuse charge my case(s) were a little older and a little newer. I have to ask why did you plead guilty if you were not guilty? With that said, you know the risk going to court or not when you hired counsel. You choose to plead out or go to trial, not the attorney.

I had a case in 2005 and I'm not sure if Mr. Skelton had too many cases or just doesn't care about the people he is representing, but I ended up serving 6 years in prison for a crime I didn't commit. I had never been In trouble and was made to feel if I didn't plead guilty I would have done 30+ years. I got scared and plead guilty anyways. I was away from my children and family for 6 years of their lives and can never get that back. I would never recommend Mr. Skelton to ANYONE! If you are going to be an attorney don't take on so many cases to where you just want to get through and on to your next one because you have to many.

Mr. Skelton was timely and was able to outline what he would be able to do on my case in the first meeting. He put me at ease and was on time for all our court appearances.
He outlined the goal and was honet about what he would not be able to do up front.
Most of all his fees where reasonable.

I Hired Mr. Wright and retained his services in regards to a injury due to a product.
After hiring Mr. Wright it took over 5 years to settle the case and I am not happy with the outcome as I feel he was not fighting for me like I thought he would. I constantly had to call to get updates throughout the years, and I was not happy with the secretaries lack of knowledge regarding my issue.
I feel I could have done better representing myself than hiring Mr. Wright.

I hired Mr. Wright in regards to the just for men lawsuit I hired him and retained his office to help me settle the case after my life changing injuries. Instead I got a low settlement and he did not fight for me , and now I'm left dealing with this pain. This is my opinion and experience.

I had the honor to meet Tom eight years ago. I'm forever thankful that I have him as my legal representation. He has assisted me in small matters that other big name lawyers, such Vanoy and Gil Switala, we're unwilling to do. His background and expertise is profound. He also has an excellent reputation among the judges in the Miami Valley area. He is very efficient in providing appropriate costing legal representation and has assisted my whole entire family with all types of issues, even the small claims court and traffic offenses. For Tom, to not have a phone tree of paralegals and secretaries to decide if he wants to take your call, He has remained throughout the years to be productive, efficient, and not "too big" for his loyal and long lasting clients. I don't know what the other reviews are even talking about, however, while I was deployed Tom handled matters while I was fighting for this country and assisted my wife. I'm honored to have him as my lawyer, and privileged to serve a country with Thomas Manning, ESQ practicing law. Tom Manning is my "Lincoln Lawyer", however he is better than a Lincoln Lawyer. Thank you Tom for nine years of representation, sir!!!

I hired Tom Manning to represent me in family court. He did very little to help. He had another lawyer that had no knowledge of my case show up in his place the day of court. Nothing went the way it should until I fired him and hired a lawyer that went in and cleaned house. I would never recommend Manning.

Since he does not have his business address, I cannot confirm this is the same attorney; however, if your Thomas Manning uses a PO Box as his address --- this is likely him. This guy PAINFULLY slow to do anything. His knowledge in the field of DIVORCE is sub-par...when told to leave things conditions out of a dissolution agreement...he disregards the clients wishes and enters the information ... causing delays and rework at the clients expense. I would NOT recommend this using this attorney for a dissolution let alone a divorce.

After taking my money his zeal to go out and get information was poor. He showed very poor skill of communication ,being a skilled professional . his knowledge of the law was not as sharp as one to charge the amount of money he received from me. He had me to dig up my own evidence to defend myself. I seen his laziness from the beginning to the end of my case, which by the way he loss. I felt it was because he didn't,t prepare.

Once Ben Swift received the retainer in my child custody case, his concern waned. He was unresponsive to calls or emails from me and once missed a filing deadline. Needless to say, my child custody case had devastating results. I had to settle for an unfair decision. Once I took my business elsewhere, I had to spend thousands of dollars to undo the damage Ben's laziness and ignorance of the law cost myself and my daughter. Fortunately, a true professional was able to rectify this case. I would never recommend Ben's services (and I use the term loosely).

I hired Mr Henke to handle a case for me. He did not accompany me to the deposition or keep me up to date with my case. Approximately 1 week before we went to trial he decided to review the case and suddenly was not aware of things that were disclosed in the preliminary documents and the transcription of my deposition. He advised me that I should not continue on with the case due the attractive nuisance laws in the state of Ohio. Apparently there were not enough comparable cases to support our claim. He told me that it was in my best interest to not continue to trial because we would likely lose. I spent approximately 1 year dealing with this drama and was advised to walk away owing him approximately $4000 additional to what I had already paid during the course of the case. When I went to court for my final hearing to drop the case he sent his previous partner with me. His partner told me that he had advised him not to take the case initially and that he responded with "it's easy money one way or another". Wow!!! I had a tragic event in my life and it was just easy money. I don't see how the man can live with himself. I have talked with other attorneys since this event and was told by those attorneys that I would have more than likely won regardless. I realize that no amount of money was going to make me happy again, but I felt that the parties responsible should have been held responsible and had I had an attorney who participated in my case during the entire course, things would have ended differently.

I lost my case in my opinion due to the younger lawyer outthinking him every step of the way. Simply, Carlo was outsmarted and only now did I find out he couldn’t compete in California so he ran to Ohio. My loss.

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.
