Had a pleasure working with Mary Higgins’s , very professional. Very respectful and understanding of my situation. Couldn’t be any happier with the work she’s done !!

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Donna in previous cases and she was friendly, knowledgable and understanding of my situation. She answered my questions with ease and she took the time to check in and keep me updated on my case.

Very professional lawyer, helped in every way possible and got me the exact outcome I was hoping for. I would highly recommend Sean Lynn

20 Nov, 2023 by Anonymous

Sean was a tremendous asset through my divorce case. I originally filed for divorce myself, wrongfully assuming that my ex husband and I could amicably work together to split our assets and child custody. I quickly realized that I needed professional help to protect myself and the best interest of my children. Sean took time to explain to me how the process works, what to expect from the court, what is fair, and how to protect myself and my children. My case included a protection from abuse order as well as an attempt by my ex husband to reopen the divorce after everything had been finalized, so Sean had to put in extra care to complete my case. I appreciated having someone on my side that had experience working with Delaware courts so I was never surprised by next steps and what was going to most likely occur. I highly recommend Sean to anyone looking for professional representation in family matters.

Her first met Gary in 2007 had to work accident. Gary and I talked and he made it very clear. I will do the best and only the best that I can. If you want quick money go to another lawyer that will just give you anything I will fight for you this is my job. I believe in Gary I believe in the stop paralegals everyone there in the office is professional. I had to go back to Gary in 2020 to being run over . And again Gary and his staff did top notch work I believe them I trust him did not let me down. Thank you thank you again.

20 Sep, 2022 by Catherine

Over the course of 4+ years, Gary and his team have provided me with honesty/transparency, patience (I ask a LOT of questions)?and easy to understand information in layperson’s terms. As this was my first involvement in a legal process, initially I was concerned as to how my work injury would impact my personal and professional life. Every time I felt uncertainty, as new proceedings emerged, Gary and Paralegal Kelle promptly returned my calls/emails. I was always treated with respect, honesty and professionalism. My interactions were mostly with Paralegal Kelle, who was always eager to guide me through legal jargon. Gary and his staff made sure that I was taken care of, and thus, my anxiety level would be brought back down. Gary’s team “battled” through any hiccups, and issues from the Defense. Their goal was my goal: ensuring that I received a favorable settlement (which I did, thank you all!). If you’re in need of legal help, this professional, knowledgeable legal team… look no further. It has been a long legal journey since I first met Gary in 2018, and I am extremely grateful for all of their assistance and support, as they eased my mind and I was able to sleep at night. High praise for this law firm!

If you're looking for an exceptional accident attorney -- look no further. Gary Nitsche can be your lawyer. If you want honesty, integrity, accessibility, a 2-way communicator, and an evidence-based attorney, Gary Nitsche should be your lawyer. If you are looking for justice, fairness and an exceptional negotiator, Gary Nitsche ought to be your lawyer.

I was hurt on the job and was getting no where and needed help. I emailed The Freibott Firm and Fred called back immediately and I told him my story. We set up a meeting at the Lewes office and I met Dennis Mason (one of his lawyers)and he told me they had it. I have had 2 back surgeries and they still have my back and would recommend this Firm to anyone in need.

24 Dec, 2020 by Timothy

I was hurt at work and was getting no where and we decided to get a attorney. I was shocked as I emailed Fred and he called me in minutes and made a appointment with his associate Dennis Mason so after the meeting with him he told me they had it and they did. I can say I had a ton of questions and they answered all. I would recommend Fred Friebott and his firm to anyone

I used AVVO to find Adam and read all of his reviews. Everyone spoke very highly of his results. I had been shopping around for an attorney who would take on a civil suit matter for my small business and all of the other attorneys seemed to have little interest or seemed to speak in a manner where it appeared my situation was pointless. Adam listened to my circumstances related to my potential case and took off like a rocket to resolve the issue. He was professional, efficient, and available for my business needs. He was able to provide results that were beyond my expectations. I am grateful to have had this experience with him and look forward to future business ventures with him.

13 Aug, 2022 by Susan

I hired Adam because my insurance company, which was the same company that insured the party responsible for the flooding of my condominium, refused to pay for damages. Adam was always professional, very responsive (always on top of things & returned all communications promptly). Adam is very knowledgeable regarding the laws applicable to my case; I was quite comfortable relying on his expertise. Mr. Wasserman was able to negotiate a reasonable settlement without going to court. I am so grateful to have found Adam Wasserman & I highly recommend him for your legal needs.

22 Jul, 2022 by Monica

I had trouble finding a lawyer to help me until I found Adam through the Delaware State Bar Association website. His office contacted me within 24 hours, and Adam was available within a couple of days. He was patient and attentive in hearing about my case, explained options in easy to understand terms, and the final outcome was better than I expected, and extremely quick. I am definitely going to recommend Adam to everyone and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Thank you, Adam!

Jon is representing me for my Workers Comp claim. I am by far not easy to work with. Jon takes the time to listen to me and let me whine about my problems. He has not only worked odd hours for me but has guided me on many issues and fought tooth and nail for me. Not many clients can say that they consider their attorney a friend. My family and I are grateful to have Jon representing me.

I hired larry after I was in a car crash, he was a winner, a lot of my friends didn't think id get much, but larry was on top of everything, I really didn't even do much , larry and his paralegal handled most of it. If im ever injured again, im making a call right back to larry ramunno

16 Jun, 2015 by Bill

I have a lot of friends and family that have had car injury claims, and they told me about a lot of different lawyers, but many of them were encouraging me to hire Larry Ramunno, I called his office and was impressed he talked to me and was so down to earth and nice. I signed up, and he and his staff and paralegals and investigator were terrific, they were so nice to me, when money was tight they helped me get loans from a loan company, and after I had a bunch of visits with a chiropractor, and some specialists, like a neurologist , I was still in pain, but larry ramunno got me way mor e than I expected, he got me more than I was expecting and he was aggressive with the stupid insurance company, there first offer was good, but larry said, hold on, its not high enough, let s sue and it'll go up, we filed suit, he did all the work on the suit, and a few months later, the offer was up even higher, I never had to go to trial or anything like that. larry is great , he's the best lawyer in town in my opinion. and his staff is terrific.

31 Oct, 2014 by Anonymous

I was in a car accident, at first I wasn't gonna try to make a claim. Then I found larry, he made sure the car insurance paid all my medical bills and after I went to some doctors and therapy for about nine months, larry got me way way more money than what people was telling me my case was worth. If im in another accident im calling larry ramunno right away.

After being involved in a serious car accident and having some issues, Mr. Boswell was recommended to me by a former state trooper and my insurance agent. I was unsure about contacting a lawyer but found Mr. Boswell to be extremely helpful. He or his office staff was always available for any questions or problems that arose with my care during my hospital stay and rehab afterwards. He kept us updated on all aspects of my case and continues to check with me periodically about my health. I would highly recommend Mr. Boswell. He is very concerned about his clients.

We were very satisfied with how David fought to get fair compensation for us and our child in our auto accident injury case. Everything was handled quickly and efficiently, and we were always kept “in the loop” with every detail. Every communication was efficient, clear, concise, and prompt. David made everything about the process simple and easy to understand. The communication level was exceptional – truly above and beyond. We were more than satisfied with how everything was handled. David is professional and yet down to earth, and we had a sense that he truly cared about our situation.

After having an auto accident driving home with my family after a business meeting, I had no idea how much time and medical intervention would be required. I found quickly I needed support from the medical bills and guidance of what to do after getting hurt. Mr. Lengkeek and his assistant Kerry were an outstanding team that treated me with respect and stood by me, helping and guiding me the entire duration. Tim and Kerry gained my respect very quickly. They were fast and proactive always working on getting the bills paid and assisting me when I needed direction. Tim's unique knowledge base provided me with information that was required from understanding surgeries to dealing with insurance companies and the like. Kerry provided me with weekly if not daily interactions to keep me in the loop. This made not only me feel comfortable but also my family. They were/are truly my partner helping me step by step. The settlement outcome was much more then anticipated and was simply due to the dedication and hard working team of Mr. Lengkeek. I am completely satisfied with the outcome and I would highly recommend Tim to anyone who wants full commitment and to get the job done with a personal touch. A truly pleasant experience considering the medical inventions I had to undertake. I was not just a customer, I was a VIP.

Mr. Lengkeek blew the defense out of the water. He was well prepared and had a answer to what ever they came up with. I recommend him 100 out of 100. I am glad I used him for my case. we won more that I expected.

I met Tim Lenkgkeek at the end of 2009. I had been in a car accident on 1-22-09. My PIP had run out and I had to begin to use my personal health insurance just after being at Magee Brain Rehab for 12 days. The auto insurance companies were not backing down but a friend sent me a video of me 3 months before the accident. Tim sent it to the person who hit me insurance company and to my insurance company and had our deserved compensation in 30 days. He is always on top of the ball.

I would highly recommend Steve Norman to any friends, family or business associates who may need to utilize his services.

Mr. Norman has helped me with personal legal issues as well as business legal issues. Not only is he a great attorney but a great person as well. He genuinely cares about his clients and always has their best interests at heart. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal counsel.

06 Dec, 2012 by Anonymous

I hired Mr Norman for a DUI issue I was involved with in the MD court system. He immediately told me he was not familiar with the judges in my county and didn't specialize in my specific type of case. He then offered to help me locate someone who was. I retained his services anyway and he appeared to work twice as hard as the oposition lawyers to compensate for his lack of comfort in that particular area. By the time we went into negotiations he knew the issues better than the other law team. He went out and researched the issues and reported back to me with options. He brought in experts he found to bolster my case. He was willing to go to court if necessary, which many lawyers are not willing to do. I was impressed with his work habits and straight shooting approach and appreciated his honesty.

Although he has changed law firms recently, he's the best lawyer in his specialty. My family hired him for a personal injury lawsuit. What I liked is that he is easy to communicate with and takes my questions seriously and is not condescending. When possible he would get right on the phone with me or give me a very prompt call back. I also really appreciated that my lawsuit wasn't put on a back burner. He took the case by the horns and did everything that could be done, given the unique set of circumstances. Still, he left no stone unturned and I couldnt ask for more than that.

In my complex social security disability case, which involved international totalization law, I talked to many attorneys but by far David J Lyons Esq was the very best. There is no way I could have won my case without him. In fact, he won my case two (2) times as the first time the judge made a legal error so we had to go through it all again with a second hearing and he won it all again to get full SSDI benefits for me. Prior to each hearing, I could see that he over prepared and had accurately covered all angles of the case and knew all of the evidence very well. I highly recommend David J Lyons Esq as a social security disability attorney for anyone who has a genuine disability claim.

25 Nov, 2015 by Rick

I was injured in a slip and fall accident. Mr. Lyons took care of me from the very first day we spoke. Not only did I get all my medical fees taken care of, I also got a settlement that helped get me back on my feet. He's a Great Lawyer who obviously cares about his clients.

Jeannie is definitely a zealous advocate for her clients. I would highly suggest Jeannie. In fact, I have recommended her to several friends and family members, one of which was my husband.

We all hope we never need an attorney, I never thought I would. Fortunately I was able to be represented by Vince Hedrick for my case. I can’t say enough about the level of competence, attention to detail, communication, and the personal care for my situation. No matter what phone call or piece of mail I received, medical institutions, doctors or my work Human Resources, Vince was responding. I felt very confident that all my needs were taken care of. If you find your in need of representation, I highly recommend Vince and his team.

Vincent worked very hard to win my case. He is tenacious and gathers all the facts and does his absolute best. I always felt like my case was a top priority for him. I never had to call him for an update, because he always contacted me first with an update. If you want a lawyer that puts you and your case first, please contact Vincent.

Don came highly recommended by a friend and didn't disappoint. He spent the time to understand all my issues and concerns and provide superb legal advice on every point to help negotiate my settlement. Highly competent and professional, it was pleasure working with him. Thank you Don!

Mr. Ransom was truly a blessing for my family and myself. I was trying to handle things myself without much success. A friend suggested I talk to Mr. Ransom. I was extremely glad I did. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know about the law. Mr. Ransom was easy to talk to and explained what he could do for me. He and his staff couldn’t have been easier to work with. I was so happy with the outcome and it was totally due to Mr. Ransoms knowledge of the law and his hard work. I would highly recommend Mr.Ransom to everyone

Martin Knepper is wonderful. He helped us, with what we would call, a complex personal injury suit that evolved from a serious car accident on Route 95 in Delaware (we were hit by a truck). Unlike other lawyers that I interviewed, and one that I fired, he had a lot of knowledge, and expertise, that other attorneys we had spoken with didn't have. His negotiation skills, his professionalism, his knowledge, and his fortitude allowed us to succeed in settling our case, in what we considered a fair settlement. A case that involved drivers and companies from multiple states. This is what distinguishes Martin Knepper from the rest of them. He had knowledge and expertise that other personal injury attorneys did not. I would hire him again, without any hesitation. We are very grateful we found him. We are thrilled with the wonderful job he did.

Angela is without a doubt one of the toughest lawyers that I have ever met. Angela took on my sisters case and explained everything to her. Angela’s many years of experience both as a judge and attorney is proven day in and out. She is thoroughly prepared, lets nothing slide by, and she is not afraid to take on a tough case. She is extremely dedicated to each of her clients and their cases. If you want to win your case, go and meet Angela - Her professionalism and litigation savvy is exceptional!!!! I would highly recommend her for your legal needs.

Mrs. Fowler is absolutely amazing. What i would consider one of the toughest times in my life, I instantly felt at ease talking to Mrs Fowler within the first few minutes. She was full of knowledge, no matter how strange and absurd the situation, she always knew how to handle it quickly and effectively. A real fighter, the person you want and need to have in your corner. Will absolutely use again, I personally recommend to all my friends and family. I am truly so lucky to have had such a great lawyer fighting for the best interest of my child. Thank you Mrs. Fowler!!

I consult with Melissa on a regular basis regarding her insurance defense practice as it relates to much of the contract and liability issues that come up in my field of work. Melissa is incredibly astute, experienced and has a wealth of knowledge in all facets of insurance law and contract litigation. She is very professional and has an excellent "bed side" manner. I highly recommend this attorney.

25 Sep, 2019 by Ed

I have referred over 50 of my clients to her over the past 8+ years for will/living wills/power of attorney, trusts, and other legal documents. She always does a great job, and my clients enjoy her wonderful personality and understanding. Also, I have sent some of my business owner clients for legal documents, contract reviews, incorporation, and buy/sell arrangements.

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.

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.
