Nathan Hoy worked side-by-side with me on my case for 3 1/2 years. I would not of settled my case if it was not for him. And extremely well educated and seasoned veteran attorney. He knows every side of the lost like the back of his hand. I strongly recommend him and I’m very grateful for his services. Nathan is furious when he needs to be and extremely patient and observing. He understands the game. You can’t go wrong with this guy.

Bell and Bell, are a kind respectful duo. Brian Bell, is a clear speaker and so is his brother as I have communicated with both several times and thru out a few years now. I like the fact they do not linger for ever on a case. Are always available to answer the questions as they come along. Work well as individuals. Because they share the information to date with each other. The fees are more than fair. And worth every penny. They will come to you, if need be to address a starting point. Strong professional presence when needed as well as gentle manners as respect is granted. Over all it was fair, my personal wishes respected and followed.

I was involved in an auto accident in October of 2012. I consulted with Mr. Bell and immediately felt very comfortable with him handling my case. He took the time to listen to my case, which was important to me since I had not been personally involved in a situation like this before. He handled everything in a timely manner, and was available when needed to answer questions or give guidance. I was also very satisfied with the results of the settlement. I would highly recommend Mr. Bell to anyone involved in an auto accident with full confidence.

Marsad has a solid reputation. He's in this field for all the right reasons to help those in need of defense for fighting what they deserve. He always makes it a point to answer anyone's questions and refer them to someone if they are not a potential client for him. He always fights hard for his clients and communicates the process along the way as easily to be understood as possible. Never has he been unavailable via phone, text or email. I highly recommend Marsad Quraishi for any personal injury/accident needs. He is an attorney who believes highly in fulfilling his ethical duty by always doing what is best for his clients. On top of this he's an avid fisherman who loves to give. One of the best men I know who loves to share his experiences in life, whether it's law advice or fishing. A friend and confidant; never trusted anyone more. Give him a call and you won't regret it. He's a true gift from God!

Jackie and the team at Grady Legal were our lifeline during one of the most challenging times of our lives. When our dreams of expanding our family led us into a maze of unexpected medical bills due to a miscommunication between our doctor's office and our insurance company (something we had no control over), we felt overwhelmed and powerless. Jackie and Jennifer stepped in with a blend of expertise, compassion, and unwavering determination. They navigated the complexities of our case with precision, ensuring that we were not unfairly burdened by the financial fallout of someone else's mistake. What truly set Jackie and her team apart was their genuine empathy for our situation. They understood the emotional toll it took on us, and they fought tirelessly on our behalf, not just as clients, but as human beings deserving of respect and justice. Thanks to Jackie's dedication and skill, we were able to focus on what truly mattered: welcoming our precious baby boy into the world. We are forever grateful to Jackie Grady, Jennifer Rendfrey and the rest of Grady Legal for not only resolving our legal matters but for providing us with the support and peace of mind we desperately needed during a tumultuous time. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Based on a recommendation from another Atty., my father wrote to Atty. Grady about his medical bill not paid by one of the health insurances companies and asked advice on the best approach. Atty. Grady was so kind to set a conference call to discuss in details the issue. She is very professional and responsive. My father was impressed with her knowledge and skills and stated that it is an absolute pleasure to work with her. We highly recommend Grady Legal.

I used Jeffery for a brotherly Real Estate dispute, and not knowing him went strictly by his online reviews. A very attentive individual, and responsive. Very quick replies and close attention to details. Although the issue has not yet been resolved, in . fairness to him, the opposing side never gave him the opportunity to negotiate, which is what he claims to be his specialty. I would recommend Jeffery for the simple reason that he is easy to reach, understand, and is matter of fact about what is, and what isn't.

I found the firm to be knowledgeable, professional and detailed oriented. What I found most unusual and wonderful — anytime I emailed Glenn Goldman I got an immediate response. I would recommend this law firm to everyone because of the care they delivered.

I had a difficult contract situation and had been told by other lawyers that I was pretty much stuck and just had to wait it out. Attorney Andrew Rader was extremely patient and helpful and used his expertise in Florida contract law to show me that I wasn't stuck in the contract at all, provided specific advice on how to handle future legal challenges, and helped me get the compensation that I was owed. I can't recommend his services highly enough.

The first lawyer left the firm soon after I hired her and was ilegally charging me before any paperwork was submiited to me from the bank. At the end the new attorney told me she didnt kno how to deal with the case and advised me to settle. I didnt settle and the bank foreclosed on me. I remember filing a complaint with her supervisor but nothing never happened. Its 2023 and I am still suffering from loosing my home.

Peter Ticktin and his stellar Ticktin team of legal eagles saved my 20-year Palm Beach home (homestead) from foreclosure in TWO separate foreclosure court proceedings, from 2009-2017! AND they are successfully pursuing an award of fees against bank giant Bank of America. Yes, they beat BofA on my behalf, regarding my mortgage foreclosure case. They are miracles workers, to say the least. I am a LONGTERM client! I know Peter Ticktin to be excellent, brilliant and shrewd attorney of honor, integrity and character. He can hold his own, and in fact prevail, against any opposition counsel or law firm, including “Big Gun” names and “white-shoe” firms. Unlike some attorneys, Peter Ticktin and his firm do NOT get sandbagged in any courtroom situation. They are always thinking clear and cleverly, and ahead of the curve, outsmarting their adversaries. Am pleased to provide the highest recommendation. He is a fighter for his clients, both with legal research/strategy and courtroom litigation, as are his associate attorneys. Many “AV-rated” are scholarly with much book knowledge but do not fight hard for their clients. The best lawyers have a bit of grit and street-fighter instincts in them. In the worst of times and darkest of days, the Ticktin law firm were there for me and never failed to rise to the occasion. Unlike some lawyers, Ticktin lawyers do NOT miss court deadlines, they do NOT miss court dates. People who have foreclosure looming, or other legal difficulties, are often emotional, difficult and temperament…overly involved in their own cases 24/7…i.e. people who are not the easiest to work with…but Peter Ticktin is stellar and standup and doesn’t miss a beat. He is able to think rings around many other lawyers and treats his clients like family. As an experienced businessman, as well as a well-seasoned attorney who has lived life, he is able to personally relate to and firsthand understand the curveballs, and the up-down journey of life, that his clients face. Likewise, any disagreement rolls off him, whereas he keeps going, keeps fighting for his clients’ best interests, even clients who can sometimes be their own worst enemy in trying to interfere with how their case is proceeding. Without Ticktin, I would NOT have been able to stave off 9 years of foreclosure, survive it, and have a happy ending! I have litigation experience with some of the best of the best attorneys in the country, including the late Johnnie Cochran, and also experience with some of the worst attorneys ever imagined. Peter Ticktin is top-tier.

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.
