I can’t say enough about the exceptional experience I had with Gartlan Injury Law Firm. From the moment I contacted them, they were professional, compassionate, and fully committed to my case. A special thanks to Candice—she truly went above and beyond. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and caring nature made all the difference. She took the time to explain every step of the process and was always available to answer my questions. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my well-being and the outcome of my case. Thanks to Candice and the team at Gartlan, I felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

Words cannot describe how fantastic my experience was with Miss Niki & Miss Gina. They have represented me in a custody case for the last few years that has finally come to a desired conclusion. When I say they go above and beyond not even that does the work they perform justice. They are professional, caring and honest. At the worst moments during my process they are there as if you're family to them. They worked tirelessly ensuring everything would work out as discussed and planned. If not for them this process would have been mentally draining. They made everything so much easier on myself that no amount of thank you's could show my appreciation. I can with 100% confidence recommend them for any legal matter someone needs representation with. They're knowledge and professionalism is unmatched and I'm so glad to have met them and hired them to help with my custody case.

I was going through a hard divorce with my husband. He was not making it any easier. I searched for a good family law attorney and found Niki Pierce. I set up a consultation with her and we discussed my case and all of the issues going on. I hired her and I can not say enough great things about Niki. She handled my case perfectly, always keeping me informed. She answered any questions I had along the way. 5 stars plus for Mrs. Pierce

My divorce was due to discovering my husband of 42 years had been having an affair for six months. I was devastated and hurt. Thank goodness I chose the right attorney. Niki Pearce made the situation as painless as possible. She gave smart advice and the turnaround tie was about six weeks from start to finish.

I first noticed this firm from community events that I was a part of. Mr. Irwin always seemed to be right in the middle of them and really appeared to be trying to help people. In 2015 I was involved in a horrible auto accident that left me paralyzed from the waste down. I was very distraught and needed more than an attorney. Mr. Irwin was everything I needed personally and professionally. He was available to me 24/7 to answer my questions and I was floored by how much time he put into my case. In the end I was able to get a settlement that should help me adjust to what has become the new normal for how I live. Mr. Irwin is my attorney but he is more then that. I can never repay him for what he did for me. I would recommend Cherry & Irwin to anyone that wants the best and wants to be treated like they matter.

I was involved in an accident that was not my fault. Unfortunately the officer who completed the accident report said he could not determine who was at fault because there were no witnesses available and the other driver told a conflicting story to what I was telling. Benjamin Irwin and the staff at Cherry and Irwin were amazing and went to work for me. I don't know how they did it but the located a witness, battled the insurance companies, and regardless of the cost to their firm put me first. I am extremely happy with the outcome. Anyone wanting an attorney that puts them first and will go to war for them even when the outcome is not certain should call Benjamin Irwin and Cherry and Irwin. They respond, prepare, and battle for their clients.

I was convicted of attempted murder. Mr. Yarbrough was my appeal attorney. He was able to get the attempted murder charge reversed and dismissed on my first appeal. Great attorney! He understood my position and my frustration from dealing with a bad trial attorney. I wish Mr. Yarbrough was my trial attorney. He restored my trust in attorneys. I have used around 11 attorneys and only my trial attorney was bad. Mr. Yarbrough I am very sorry for my rude and disrespectful letter. I hope you except my apologies. If it was not for Mr. Yarbrough I would still be in prison. I have a wonderful life with a wife and kids. Thank you for your legal services! He is one of the best attorneys in Dothan Alabama. I would highly recommend to friends and family. I used other attorneys in my past and didn’t have positive outcomes but I would recommend those attorneys too! The only attorney I would not recommend is my trial attorney. Thank you for your legal services Mr. Yarbrough! Awesome attorney!

Didn't even give us the time we paid for. Pathetic, obviously cares for his lawyer friends and knows the person I came in with a case about. After $75 basically didn't want to take effort into seeing how he could help us even though he agreed fraud was all over the documents we had. I should have known he's close to courthouse and is friends with all the other lawyers. He didn't want to hurt his good friend Mitch McNabb who is in prison he said. 0 stars.. felt like he robbed us of 75$.

This lawyer is a joke! He was not reliable or competent in handling my case. It is extremely frustrating when legal representation falls short of expectations, especially when it involves crucial aspects like obtaining evidence for your case. This attorney did not know how to request evidence needed from other agencies. I had to call and get information to inform my attorney how this process works. He continued to assure me everything was being done and we would meet to review the evidence. After waiting five months and spending so much time calling and pleading for information I was even more disappointed when I found out he had never even requested the information. Paying for services that are not delivered in a timely or competent manner is unacceptable. It is important for clients to be able to trust their legal representation to act in their best interests and handle their cases effectively. It is so disappointing that my lawyer failed to fulfill his obligations, leading to unnecessary delays and added stress on my part and had no accountability in this system for his negligence.

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.
