To start I will simply say that Craig Cares. He was always very open and honest with me from day one. He asked how I was and helped me out, even when it didn't pertain to my case! He explained everything to me in detail as we went along the case and made me feel like a priority. Simply put Craig Charles is THE BEST Attorney I could have asked for Hands down!

I met with Craig earlier in the year and he was absolutely amazing. He was readily available and took the time to meet with me often to ensure was briefed and educated on all of the options surrounding my case. He was vey understanding of my situation and was patient, as well as proactive. I didn't have to constantly follow up with him on matters. Additionally, I didn't feel like just billable hours, but rather felt there was a good rapport.

If it hadn’t been for the help of this amazing team, I really don’t think that I would have been able to get my workers compensation benefits. From the start, my boss refused to take my claim seriously, so I quickly started looking for legal help. The guys here at this law firm were able to immediately get to work on my case and quickly get me the benefits that I was owed.

Listen Cortney pulls no punches and honestly should get into politics because she will debate you into your next life if your coming against her client. Having her on my side made me feel lucky cause I would hate being on the receiving end of her questioning. She's professional and scary because again if she's fighting for you, you are gonna start praying those coming against you have tissues for the tears they might cry after she is done with them. The best thing about Cortney is even though she takes no bull and is passionate about defending you, she also makes you feel so protected and thought of. You will NEVER find a lawyer like this who cares about your rights rather than what they would earn. They defend you to the end regardless, and I am so grateful God sent me just the right people to defend me in my sexual harassment case.

I had no idea what I was doing when I was looking for attorney, but what sold me was their slogan, "Women fighting for women." I knew immediately I made the right choice when Cortney and her firm reached out to me only 15 min after I emailed them! They were very caring when listening to my sexual harassment incident at work and were concerned for my wellbeing. I was constantly checked on and asked how I was doing through the course of the case and even offered to help pay for my therapy when I had trouble obtaining a therapist from my own doctors office! She and her firm, fought hard for me and always left the decision up to me. When something like this happens to you, it can be really scary and you dont know what to do. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Cortney and her team. You never feel alone, and you feel taken care of.

Jura was an amazing lawyer, he was very understanding and very easy to reach. The legal process was painless, he did everything humanly possible to be able to understand my situation and kept good communication the entire time. He was not one of those lawyers who sends you to deal with his secretary or legal aid. He was on top of everything and kept my case stress free. Thank you Jura Hartley

I was referred to Attorney Russell Rubin in the most unexpected manner and I'm glad I was. I had little knowledge of how the court system worked and he was patient, had good, clear communication, and explained/answered any questions I had from start to finish. His wit, confidence, and extensive knowledge in his field are what help him achieve the best end results. After a persistent process, he got a misdemeanor ticket down to an infraction for me. I would definitely recommend him. Thank you Russell!

The absolute best! If your circumstances bring you the silver lining of being lucky enough to work with Christian and Greene Broillet & Wheeler, you will find them to have an impeccable reputation that has earned them both power and clout throughout the legal community. Their team is honest, compassionate, straightforward, and will not only care about your case, they will care about you as people. They successfully navigated a complex case for us without letting anything fall through the cracks, and continued to fight through all the challenges our case faced. As they said from the beginning, a relationship with them isn't just limited to the case; it extends for life. We couldn't be more grateful for their expertise, heart, and hard work.

When my wife was involved in an accident, GBW was recommended to me by a friend who was very happy with their service. Christian Nickerson and his colleagues did an awesome job working with us to put the case together, conduct negotiations and secure our claim. We are very happy with the settlement and being able to avoid a long court case. Christian was empathetic, professional, balanced, on schedule and very efficient in working with us and in dealing with others on both sides. We were very satisfied and feel confident in recommending him to others.

I’m an attorney in Houston, Texas. We had a lawsuit that needed to be filed in Los Angeles. As someone who had previously practiced for years in California, I knew about Greene Broillet & Wheeler’s reputation and knew they were my first choice as a law firm that I wanted to joint venture with on the case. After reviewing the file, they agreed to take the case. From day one, everyone was professional and easy to work with. Christian Nickerson was the primary, handling attorney on the case and the attorney I worked with the most. He was responsive, answered any questions we had immediately, and corresponded with the clients as well. Client interaction is extremely important to me as an attorney. I believe that we as the attorneys work for the clients. It is their case, and ultimately, my duty is to them to make sure that they are informed at all times and are fully involved in their case. Christian far exceeded these expectations. My client kept telling me how much he appreciated Christian and the work that his firm did for him.
Further, Greene Broilett & Wheeler was relentless in going after the opposing party. They pushed for a trial date and pushed for discovery. They were never complacent and were always working to get the client the best result possible. In the end, they were able to get a settlement that was the largest the opposing party had ever paid. I am extremely pleased with the result and firmly believe it was truly the best result for the client that we could have hoped for. I will absolutely work with this firm every chance I can get.

I am eternally grateful for Mr. Mandalia. He helped me in my custody and child support case. He was always available and walked me through the process of my case every step of the way. He listened to my needs, comforted my concerns and fears, was honest, very intelligent, precise and powerful in his speaking. I felt good knowing he was in my corner. His passion, knowledge and presence in court is superb. He truly cares about his clients and helped me win my case! I am forever grateful for what he did for me and my son. I whole heartedly recommend Mr. Mandalia!

Denish went up against an army of attorneys during a business dispute between my former business partner and I. We were in court battling for over a year. Denish showed no sign of weakness and helped me keep my company. Motions, ex parte, dissolution claim, deposition, and 2 lawsuits, I could not have prevailed without Denish's help. If you need a litigator Denish is your man.

Mr. Mandalia handled a very stressful case for me and my company. He listened to my concerns, responded promptly every time I called and most often answered when I called. Mr. Mandalia has the personality to make you feel cared about and is strong in his abilities to communicate with knowledge and professionalism along with great negotiation skills. His firm has a vast majority and many years of legal knowledge and has the professionalism to make the other side realize they are up against a giant in the legal forum. All this together provided us with a very suitable outcome in our case. I strongly recommend Mr. Mandalia and his firm Ford, Walker, Haggerty & Behar. They are and will always be extremely appreciated by me and my company.
Respectfully:
Larry

I simply do not have words adequate, kind, and appreciative enough to capture how grateful I am for Jamie Keeton and her entire legal team at Schlichter and Shonack, including the wonderful Kevin Wheeler, Jamie Fountain, and Kellie Baker.
I found Ms. Keeton through my employer legal insurance plan and her entire legal team helped me when I was so desperate for help in a legal situation when the opposing party was trying to abuse the legal system to harass, intimidate, and financially harm my family.
I spoke to Ms. Keeton in my moments of utter desperation after numerous phone calls with other attorneys and from the moment I spoke with her, I knew that she was brilliant, articulate, fearless, yet kind and personable. She gave me her phone number and told me I could reach out to her any time which was particularly comforting. I waited what seemed to be a very long weekend, hoping and praying that she would take my case, and when she did, I knew there was no greater advocate I could have in my corner.
Kevin Wheeler was my point of contact and he advocated tirelessly for me. His words were always so patient, kind, and comforting. Being a type-A professional myself, I far too often did way too much legal research instead of leaving that up to my attorneys and then would email Kevin probably the silliest of questions in my moments of weakness and unease but he would just politely, patiently, and kindly answer my questions and always put me at ease. By the end of the ordeal, I trusted them so much that I stopped reading the opposing party's papers, stopped doing legal research, and just focused on my every day life, knowing well that my attorneys would blow them out of the water with whatever response they were preparing. This was probably the best part of having them represent me because being able to disinvolve myself from something that is particularly emotional is totally against my personality and it can be particularly destructive, especially since the whole point of hiring an attorney is so you can relax. For me, I can really only disinvolve myself if I know I am in good hands, and it only took the reading of one of their legal papers for me to know they've got it totally under control. As a professional myself, it takes a certain amount of skill to be able to handle situations in which people from outside your profession come to your office and present you with data that you know better than they do. Whenever I would be guilty of doing that, Kevin would handle it with such patience and grace, and put me at ease, letting me know they've got it handled.
Jamie Fountain was also a gem. She worked tirelessly on the legal research of my case and spent so many hours on the preparation of the legal documents. Every time I would read the legal documents, I would be shocked as to how she and every one else could prepare such persuasive, brilliant arguments with so much legal precedents behind those arguments, with such tremendous efficiency as reflected in their billed hours. For Kevin Wheeler , Jamie Fountain and Kellie Baker, who are still relatively young in their career, to have such talent, I can only imagine the bright future ahead of them.
It was no surprise that the entire unpleasant ordeal ended with a legal victory because of everyone's efforts.
I could not be more thankful for the sequence of events that led me to Jamie Keeton of the Firm Schlichter and Shonack.
While certainly there are no guarantees in any legal situation, I can guarantee that based on my experience, Jamie Keeton and her legal team, will tirelessly advocate for you in a way that is fearless, diligent, persuasive, efficient, kind, and honest. I highly recommend them.

Jamie is an incredibly knowledgable, professional, and compassionate attorney. I was challenged with an unreasonable employer that tried to limit my external career opportunities. Jamie handled the case effectively and quickly. You can tell that Jamie is one of the rare professionals that genuinely believes in the cause she fights for - she was very supportive and put in real effort in my case. I would definitely recommend Jamie as an attorney and as a great person.

Scott was very patient and understanding with us on our Zoom meeting to start the process of our living trust and also to transfer my business from a sole proprietorship to an LLC. He explained everything exceptional well and provided us with helpful information, advice and counseling. We would highly recommend Schomer Law Group to anyone needing their expertise. Thanks to Scott, Cesar and all the rest who have helped us out over the years with other matters.

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to everyone here at Greene Broillet & Wheeler. When dealing with a stressful and emotional situation that involves your daughter, you feel completely lost… but the first day they took my daughters case they took us in like part of their family. Everyone there helped us through the whole process and they showed Genuine interest in my daughter’s case. Our attorney Geoff and Christian were absolutely amazing and had so much knowledge that we felt completely safe that they was handling our case. Sofia as well I grew to love so much as she worked so hard for our case as well!! They were always so caring, on top of everything and communicated to us clearly and timely. They fought hard for my daughter and for our family. I will forever be grateful to them ❤️

I can’t thank Ivan enough for his incredible legal advice and knowledge that led to a successful settlement. He and his team were so professional, kind and excellent at counseling me through such a traumatic injury. They aligned with the best consultants and were deeply invested in all the details that led to a fast and effective settlement.
I highly recommended him and his team, there isn’t another attorney or law firm that can match their excellence in this zone of law. I felt my opinion was validated when experienced mediators etc also acknowledging Ivan’s excellent work while we were in the process of negotiations.

I was going through a very difficult time with my former employer which was not only affecting myself but family as well. I was looking for variety of places to help and no one wanted to take my case. I stumbled upon Vincent Calderone’s law firm and the moment I spoke to him he took my case. The great thing is he assured me that I had a strong case and that we would win and that’s what happened we won the case. I’m eternally grateful for what him and his team has accomplished. His communication is a 10 and if your complaint is legit you better believe Calderone law firm will do everything in there strength to fight for you. Hopefully I never go through the situation I had before again, but if I do they will be the ones I call for help. It gives me peace knowing that I have a good lawyer with a proven track record. If you’re looking for a lawyer this is the one to come to they can be trusted 100% as long as your legit.

Kate Crane wrote the estate documents for my parents in 1999. My parents paid thousands of dollars to set up the Trusts. Then, over DECADES she charged them to add more sub trusts giving them convoluted and complex distribution percentages to go from one trust to the other. My mom passed in 2009. My Dad died in March 2023. Today, 8/18/24 the estate is in litigations, most of the beneficiaries are mad and the documents were so poorly written by Kate, that the family relationships are fractured. My parents spent tens of thousands of dollars to prevent what is happening to our family today. They were sold her services using all of the things people want to hear. "You will avoid probate and save time" "You will save money on taxes" "Your family will have peaceful and loving relationships since everything is in the Trust" Total and complete lies to sell their services. Almost two years have passed since my Dad died. Even simple things like personal possessions of jewelry are still in the possession of professional fiduciaries. Almost two years have passed and my son and two nephews who are three responsible , productive members of society have to hire an attorney to try to receive their distributions because Kate Crane never took the time to update the age of these family members who must wait until they are 35 years old. They are businesses owners and homeowners but Kate wrote that they get nothing until they are 35. Oh, and guess what...those three have to have a trust set up and managed being charged fees to set it up and then $3,000/year to "manage the trusts". Another sister has a valid reason for blaming Kate for poorly writing a section of the Trust that results in her losing more than $200,000. I have written a sworn and notarized affidavit detailing how my dad told me that he wanted to change the wording of this section but Kate insisted that it be left as it was. His last few years of his life were spent regretting that he hired Kate Crane. This is a well polished scam that will take your money and redistribute your wealth to Kate Crane and her associates like CPAs. She works closely with a CPA named Grant Niman. After all of the money my parents spent on these trusts, after her client, my dad, passed away and could not complain, Kate charged an additional $8,650 to the estate for "emails, phone calls, review and drafting a letter" of her own documents!! Do not believe any of her lies that she says to get your money. This has been one of the worst cases of incompetence if not outright fraud and elder abuse.

He and his team were so professional, kind and excellent at counseling me through such a traumatic injury. They aligned with the best consultants and were deeply invested in all the details that led to a fast and effective settlement.
I highly recommended him and his team, there isn’t another attorney or law firm that can match their excellence in this zone of law. I felt my opinion was validated when experienced mediators etc also acknowledging Ivan’s excellent work while we were in the process of negotiations.

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.
