Mr. Sheehy exceeded my expectations. He was realistic with me, yet aggressive with prosecutors. Him and his legal team are responsive and reliable. His familiarity with local courts and government agencies made him an effective liaison. I feel very appreciative for their legal services.

In the unfortunate event you need a criminal defense attorney I highly recommend the Law office of Michael P Sheehy. He and his staff resolved all of our legal issues to the best possible outcome we could have hoped for, and kept us informed throughout the whole process. We were lucky to find him in our time of need and he and his office staff is exceptional. 5 stars!

One year ago I was hit by a driver who ran a red light. A coworker of my husband gave us Greg's information. He offered us a free consult, and after meeting with him for a few minutes I hired him on the spot. He worked hard to get us the best possible settlement and kept us well informed at every step. I will gladly refer him to anyone in need

I had a personal injury claim from a restaurant incident. I had a previous health history and it wasn't a lot of money they were wanting to compensate for their negligence. After the restaurant lawyers wouldn't budge on negotiating with me on a reasonable amount for everything I'd been through I looked for a lawyer. I was having a hard time finding a lawyer who would be willing to take my case because it wasn't worth big money overall, only about $25,000 or so. Mr. Marshall heard my case, listened to me, and helped me. I told him the amount I wanted to walk away with after his fees, because of everything I had been through and the restaurant's gross negligence. He was able to work with the restaurant's lawyers and get a reasonable settlement. The amount would have paid me a little under what I wanted to walk away with so Mr. Marshall adjusted some of his costs so I could walk away with that amount. He cares about his clients.

I contacted Jack to ask for help with my Support Modification. After talking through the details and asks of the petition, Jack laid out the process in front of me to make sure I was prepared for all outcomes. The entire team quickly jumped on some immediate needs and scheduling to make sure I had the right support to put my best case in front of the judge. We had several hurdles to deal with as well as an impending trial date, but I felt like the entire team rallied around me to get me prepared. Josh and I worked together over several sessions to create a fair strategy and proactively address the key issues. In what was supposed to be my trial date, Josh quickly jumped on an issue that perhaps the judge had not reviewed key submissions and requested a continuance to make sure everything was considered. That instinct proved to be correct as the judge had not reviewed everything and while that pushed a decision out, it was the right move. I would use Jack, Josh and the entire Berner team in the future.

My family came to Jack's Law office with quite a burden on our shoulders and a lot of confusion on how best to move forward. After a few consultations we decided to move forward with his services and I can tell anyone that it is 100% the best move we could have made. We ended up requiring his representation twice and came out on top both times. While I know, and it was clearly communicated to me that there are never any guarantees, I can confidently state that were it not for Jack's thoroughness, understanding of court procedure and strong ability to communicate evidence clearly, things may have gone very different for my family. He is an individual that will tell you how it really is and absolutely fight in your corner.

Laura Shaver is an excellent defense attorney. She defended our son on a DUI and a totally uncalled for DV charge. In both cases, Laura, worked out reasonable solutions and the charges were removed or downgraded. Laura was thorough and obviously has the respect of the prosecutors and judges in Snohomish County.

I was hit by a truck while commuting on my bicycle and suffered very significant injuries. From the first consultation I felt in good hands and hiring him proved to be an excellent choice. Right from the start Brandon impressed me with his consideration, knowledge, and empathy. He was able to very clearly explain the process and my options for best results. He never pressed to move things faster on the lengthy path to recovery, and went above and beyond throughout the case. He set realistic expectations for the settlement and in the end significantly outdid those. I was thoroughly impressed with his work and while I hope to never need it again I would go back immediately if needed and highly recommend him to anyone else.

I was injured in an accident on city property. My injuries required corrective surgery and extensive rehab. Russell and Hill took my case and Brandon Batchelor worked on my behalf to ensure that my rights were protected. Initially, the City denied any liability and refused a settlement. Brandon fought on my behalf for over three years and finally obtained a settlement that ensured the medical bills were paid and that I was compensated for my injuries. It was a long and arduous process that I hope never to repeat but if any similar situation should ever arise, I would be happy to have Brandon on my side.

I met Stephanie the day after severe car accident in February 2016. At the time I had no idea how badly I was injured . The first thing Steaphine advised me to do was be treated. This became a 31/2 years journey. Of surgerys , doctors and therapists. The worst was a brain injury. Through all of that Stepahnie was always on my side. Fighting for me encouraging me . She always told me the truth. She became a advocate for me . She never quit even when I wanted to . She always respected me and all decisions were mine. But she always gave me wise and valued council. Her faith in me and my case gave me the courage to keep fighting . I have worked with several attorneys in my life . I have never met one who cared so much about me as a person and really understood what I felt and the loss I was experiencing. One of the best decisions in my life was hiring her as my attorney . Stepahnie is just a great human . Her integrity, honestly and devotion are in unmatched. She is a very skilled attorney and negotiator . Thank you Stepahnie for helping me get my life back. Pete!!

Choosing a lawyer is a stressful process, on top of whatever situation you’re in that requires legal representation - you want the best possible person to represent you. I was indicted on federal charges and contacted a friend of mine who was in law school, for her recommendation of the best lawyer to handle my case in Washington. Her response was “Pete Mazzone, hands down.” Pete has gone above and beyond and I am so grateful to have gone with her recommendation. From the time I first met with Pete, I could tell he’s exceptionally smart and great at what he does. Pete doesn’t sugarcoat the situation you’re in- he doesn’t give false hope. He explains the best, most realistic outcome and what needs to happen to achieve it, all while in your best interest. Every time I have gone to court with Pete, he knows everyone and maintains a positive repore with all parties. You can tell he is respected & people like working with him- something that is only gained from years of experience and doing a great job. If you’re looking for a lawyer, I can’t say enough positive things about Pete- get a constellation and decide for yourself.

It's a challenge to describe in mere words what a phenomenal attorney Pete is. Throughout the entire time he handled my criminal case, which was a very serious, lengthy, and incredibly challenging one to achieve a positive outcome for, the fact that Pete unwaveringly demonstrated exceptional legal competency and skill, exuded a genuine, well-founded confidence, and gave me a significant amount of face-to-face time with him provided me comfort during the darkest time of my life and every reason to trust in him and have faith that everything humanly possible was being done to help me. Yet, more to the point, he never failed to pour less than the absolute full weight of his talent, energies, heart, and naturally persuasive personality into making genuine headway in turning the tide in my favor. Pete is of the extremely rare breed of attorney that will truly bend over backwards for each and every one of his clients, never giving less than a 110% effort in every case. Even more impressive is how crystal clear it is that he is literally personally invested in his clients, not just professionally so. Despite my initially severe post-war psychological disorders, the fact that he showed an authentic compassion for me as a human being and my plight, got me the help I needed, and never, ever wavered in his faith in me was a very significant source of strength for me from which I drew to help pull myself out of my severe depression, anxiety, and despair that got me into trouble in the first place. He is incredibly well networked: he has strong professional connections with the best professional experts, has very influential relationships with countless others throughout the criminal justice system, on both sides of the courtroom, so to speak, and has the diplomatic talent to maximize the benefits he can obtain from those professional relationships. If you are looking for a defense attorney that can work what seems like miracles, who sincerely sees and treats you as a redeemable human being who deserves a real shot at a second chance at life, and will do absolutely everything within his power to get the best possible outcome for you, Pete is your man. As others have described him, he is indeed a ferocious pitbull in defending his clients, but is also, at heart, a wonderfully compassionate human being--his work is not just a job to him. (He has kept in contact with me, after I was successfully released, to keep up on how well I'm doing.) He is the embodiment of the antithesis against the public's stereotypical perception of attorneys, and the epitome of exactly what every defendant across the country deserves to have when finding themselves up against the heartless beast the criminal justice system is in reality.

I was looking at spending the rest of my life locked away for circumnstances that were out of my control. He did everything and more that was told to me. At the same time he was representing another young man and got him completly exhonerated. He is a tazmanian devil in the courtroom. Thanks Pete!! T. Williams

I highly recommend you call and schedule an appointment. He listens and fights for you. I went to one appearance and he represented me through my whole case and he got it dismissed. He was very honest and upfront, and he didn’t waste my time. The only down side I would say is that his team doesn’t give updates or call back in a timely manner when you call the office. I do have to add that my case was being handled around the holidays and so I understood why he was working around the clock covering for his assistants so they would get vacation time. What worked for me was when I emailed Nader he worked hard to get back to me and he would call me and leave me detailed messages regarding my case and that made things easier. If you want someone who will fight for you and stand next to you every step of the way this is the person. He is worth every penny and if he is representing you then you don’t have to worry. At first one is worried if they hired the right lawyer, but rest assured if you hire Nader, he is the right lawyer.

After searching for my first Lawyer, and speaking with three different Lawyers, Mr. Pautler was firm, upfront, and did not beat around the bush. Out of all the Lawyers that I spoke with, Mr. Pautler told it like it was. I knew I wanted to hire this lawyer for my first lawyer. Once, hired, Mr. Pautler exceeded what I had first asked him for help with. He told me in order to fix my problem, certain steps had to be taken. With his help guiding me to follow required criteria, he not only help me fix my problem, but also helped me re-establish contact of lost loved ones. Mr. Pautler was very respectful, curtious, and told me "how the law" sees it. When my problem was solved, he told me so and ended our interaction in an appropiate manner to end the billing. I would recommend and encourage you to hire Mr. Pautler as your Lawyer. I see no need for me to seek out another Lawyer for myself, I will continue to seek counsel from him when ever I need a lawyer for myself.

I was injured at work on my neck and had a fusion on my c5-c6 spine which left me with a lot of stress, questions and uncertainty. I contacted The Walthew Law Firm where I met with Patrick C. Cook and his paralegal Marilyn Mc Doo at their office, they were very prompt and professional during the consultation, I can say that the atmosphere and the way they greeted me made me feel like a very important client, and they took consideration for any conditions I had at the time. I then received representation from The Walthew Law Firm and have been pleased with my overall experience with them. Patrick Cook handled everything else, including the legal issues, doctor’s bills. The paralegal Marilyn Mc doo assigned to my case was amazing, she handled all my issues with L&I. On behalf of Patrick Cook, she responded promptly to my phone calls and emails and gave me solid advice on what to do next as my case was moving forward. I was so please on my decision to seek legal counsel, I frankly don’t know how I would have done it without The Walthew Law Firm.

I wrote to Lorna at the end of my 2.5-year custody battle - "Words are inadequate to express my gratefulness", and it's true. Lorna has been on my side for that long, not only as my counsel, but to me, also a friend, and a mentor. I remember talking to a dozen attorneys who all turned down my case because of its complexity - a divorce that invovled domestic violence, dependency, immigration, and relocation - yet Lorna was the only attorney that took genuine interest in my case, and she did not even charge me for our first 2-hour consultation. She actually read through over 3000 pages of my dependency case. She always responds promptly, sometimes even after office hours, she is thorough and detailed, insightful and empathic. She remained a delightful spirit despite my ex's constant threats, harassment, and accusation directed at her. Even though I could not continue to afford her representation toward the end of my case, and chose to represent myself in a 3-day trial, she guided me through every step to make sure I was prepared and capable. And I won, even with some extra icing on the cake I did not expect. The judge said he has not seen anyone go pro-se without an attorney and could carry out the whole trial like I did in his 14 years of experience, but I credited Lorna for her guidance. I couldn't have done it without her. She encouraged me and believed in me even when I doubted myself - unlike those lawyers on Avvo who always tell you that you are screwed if you're going to trial alone. Talking to her always made me feel better. She went above and beyond for me from beginning to end like no others, and for that I'm forever grateful for everything she has done for me. Thank you Lorna <3.

I heard of Sabrina through a divorced moms group on Facebook. I sent her an initial email to request a meeting, but had already met with and retained a lawyer before I heard back from Sabrina. I decided to meet with her since she had been recommended. What I really liked about Sabrina (even though I had already signed on with my lawyer) was that she was so straightforward and she heard my whole story through. I like that she asked for a background from beginning to end and she actually listened and provided honest feedback throughout. She has a wonderful and friendly personality. I really enjoyed talking to her, and didn't feel judged, mocked or looked down on. Divorce is a difficult process and she explained everything. I left feeling that she really takes care of those she represents and has their back. Before I left she printed out a form for me to sign for the response to the petition and urged me to file it ASAP so I didn't lose any of my rights. I ended up going back to her for a final review of my final divorce papers after my lawyer made updates. I just wanted to make sure everything looked reasonable and nothing was missed since I have a daughter and didn't want to miss or make any mistakes. Sabrina met with me, even though I was running late. She never made me feel rushed and went through the paperwork with such detail. She ended up making lots of great changes that made me feel so relieved and grateful that I had come to see her. Even though I had already retained another lawyer, my two appointments with Sabrina were enough that I felt she deserved an excellent review. I would not hesitate to seek her advice and think I would have done really well with her as my lawyer. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others based on the advice she had given me.

Being a critical thinker, rarely would I give 5 stars in all categories to rate any service or professional, but in this instance I am privileged to do so. Sabrina Layman has guided me in two separate proceedings through Child Support Modification/Post-Secondary Education support with an unwilling co-parent. Ms. Layman facilitates the legal process, making it significantly less stressful. She provides moral support, while maintaining reasonable legal costs. Her positive-minded attitude and perseverance for the benefit of the children instill immediate peace of mind and garner trust. Her paralegal Debbie Sherlock has highly comprehensive knowledge on documents and proceedings, is kind, efficient, and detail-oriented. Both are true advocates for the children and their clients, and I most favorably recommend their expertise for your family law litigation needs.

When I first meet Jennifer in her office I was a nervous wreck. I had already served my children's mother with divorce paperwork and was trying to get custody of our children myself. The decision to make some changes to better my children’s and my life was important and had to be done. Once I got my children's mother's response I lost confidence and needed help. So I found myself Pacing back and forth in Jennifer's office telling her of my situation, I felt quickly at ease. Jennifer believed in me and what I was trying to accomplish. Jennifer reassured me that everything was going to be ok and she would try her best to help me. Realizing that my divorce was going to difficult and the custody of my children was not going to be any easier. Jennifer never promised the outcome of our case, but she did promise she would represent me and try her best. Jennifer and her Firm gave me the chance to prove that I can and could provide a safer, cleaner environment and all around better life for my three children. I could go on and on about my situation but I am here to talk about Jennifer Gogert. When no one would believe me Jennifer did. When the Cards were stacked against me Jennifer knocked em down and reshuffled the Deck. If you’re honest and you believe in your heart what you’re doing is right, sometimes all it takes is finding that right person to listen to you. I guess you might say Jennifer was that person for me and I will never forget what she did for my children I....

Jennifer and her team helped me resolve several post-divorce issues that came up two months before my last support payment to my ex. During my initial interview, Jennifer grasped the whole scenario within minutes, and before the end of the interview she gave me three possible ways to respond. In the end, we won in court on all three issues. After that, I used Jennifer and her team to tie up some more loose ends pertaining to my divorce. While Jennifer cost me a bit more than my previous attorney, I believe I got better results, so the investment was worth it.

Jennifer is a wonderful attorney who is responsive to her clients needs and willing to strongly advocate for her clients. She is very quick and responsive. Her team is extraordinary and when things are difficult, they are all there to keep you on track with next steps and what to expect. There are no questions when you're represented by Jennifer. She keeps you informed and helps you know what is in the best interest of your case. I never felt overwhelmed by the process and I knew that Jennifer would help to ensure that the outcome of my case was exactly what I was hoping for. She is fantastic, brilliant and very easy to work with. I've recommended her to a friend who retained her services and felt that her experience with Jennifer was just as beneficial.

From the moment I was recommended to Adler Giersch Personal Injury Law by someone I trust, I knew I was in good hands. Reflecting on my journey, I can confidently say that my only regret is not reaching out to them sooner in the process of dealing with my personal injury claim. My journey began with a car accident that left me grappling with lingering pain and injury for nearly three years. Initially, I felt confident in navigating the complexities of the claim process alone, buoyed by trust in my car insurance company. However, as time passed, it became increasingly apparent that my health and recovery were not their top priorities. The stress of managing doctor appointments and negotiating with insurance companies became overwhelming. Enter Richard Adler and his exceptional team. From the moment I consulted with them, I felt a profound sense of relief and support. Richard, recommended to me by a trusted source, ensured that I felt heard and understood. He seamlessly connected me with the dynamic legal duo of Arthur Leritz and Elisabeth Ruff. Arthur's professionalism and expertise were evident from our first interaction. He not only validated the severity of my injury but also instilled in me the confidence to pursue the closure of my claim while prioritizing my health. Elisabeth's meticulous attention to detail and genuine warmth made me feel truly cared for throughout the process. Their combined efforts allowed me to focus on my recovery while they adeptly handled communication with both insurance companies. The Settlement Letter they prepared was a testament to their dedication and expertise. It encapsulated three years of challenges and setbacks, empowering me as I prepared to move forward from the accident. The strength and professionalism exhibited by the entire team at Adler Giersch were instrumental in reaching a settlement and reclaiming hope for the future. I am forever grateful to Richard, Arthur, Elisabeth, and the entire team at Adler Giersch for their unwavering support and advocacy. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance in personal injury cases. Their commitment to their clients' well-being is unparalleled, and I cannot thank them enough for helping me navigate through a challenging time with grace and integrity.

Last year, I was involved in a car accident and enlisted the help of Elisabeth and the legal team she is working in. Their responsiveness and quick handling of all my inquiries were impressive. As someone unfamiliar with legalities and my rights, they guided me through the process, addressing my questions with a friendly demeanor. They managed the case exceptionally well, making the experience positive. I am delighted to have worked with them and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone uncertain about where to turn in the event of accidents.

Earlier this year, I hired the law firm of Russell and Hill to help me with my disability claim. My case was handled by Jaclyn Gaddy and her team. She is absolutely top notch; knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and very patient and kind. In my opinion, filing a disability claim is not a job to tackle by oneself. I enthusiastically recommend Jaclyn Gaddy. She is the best!!

Filing for Social Security Disability is a daunting and demoralizing task. The rules are complex and the process is complicated. Although we began the process without representation it soon became clear that we were in over our heads and lacked the information necessary to provide the proper documentation. And, of course, we were initially denied. I found the Law Offices of Russell & Hill online. Calling them and making an appointment was essentially a "leap of faith". It was the best decision we ever made. The best decision the law office made on our behalf was assigning our case to Jaclyn Gaddy. By the time we first met with Jaclyn (after she had received several years worth of medical records), she was not only familiar with the particulars of our medical records, she had a clear understanding of even the minutiae, those endless and seemingly small or insignificant incidents/issues that, taken together, meaningfully contribute to understanding the whole medical picture. She knew them and she understood their impacts. Jaclyn walked us through the hearing process and provided excellent guidance with respect to issues that she believed the judge would focus upon (and which were, in fact, precisely the issues the judge focused upon). She was professional, prepared and always compassionate. Disability hearings are nerve wracking, they feel adversarial and hostile, and applicants, who by definition are sick and/or injured, must present their case comprehensively with clarity, focus, and credibility. It is an overwhelming expectation that requires the help of an excellent attorney. Our receipt today of a fully favorable decision only reinforces that you cannot do better than Jaclyn Gaddy. Thank you Jaclyn

I was hit from behind by another vehicle while at a complete stop. I suffered from whiplash, injured wrists, and throwing my already bad back into spasms. I received all the medical and chiropractic treatment I needed to recover. Andrew Dimmock worked hard to assure that I was fairly compensated and all injuries and damages were healed and repaired. Thank you Mr, Dimmock for your expertise in negotiating a fair settlement.

I was rear ended by an uninsured drunk driver at 50mph. Injured and unsure of my options I found Andy Dimmock who repeatedly told me to focus on my recovery and treatment and he would take care of the rest beginning with ensuring my bills were paid via PIP and he would pursue my own insurer for uninsured motorist coverage. As expected I was still receiving treatment a little under a year later at which point Andy informed me my insurers had forwarded the full amount of my policy. I learned the game changer was managing to get my blood sucking chiropractor to provide a detailed assessment of my injuries before and after my accident for my insurers to settle the claim. Meanwhile my chiropractor was simply milking all the PIP and more by having me see him 5 times a week! Andy managed to stem the flow of projected medical fees by getting this claim finalized early and well before my chiropractor and physical therapist sucked the claim dry.

November 1998, Im five years old nearly killed in an auto accident. Lawyer #1 takes the case... Four years pass... little progress and some sort of conflict arises, and he withdraws from my case. Mid 2002 lawyer #2 takes over... Once again little progress... November 2002 lawyer #2s law practice is purchased by Andrew and his business partner. August 2003, Andrew has my train wreck of a case straightened out. Andrew did more for me in a week that lawyer #1 was able to do in four years! I came away with over $5,000 more than I would have had it not been for him! I was born with learning disabilities. We were able to use the settlement money to pay for a tutoring service. That tutoring service was a huge help with my education. To this day when I tell people about my education the story involves "learning to even read was hard...then I went to(institution name)".(Institution name) would not have happened had it not been for Andrew. Even after the tutoring service was paid for, I still had more money than I even would have had he not taken over! Present day, I am now in college. The settlement money that i had was a huge help in avoiding taking out student loans right in the beginning of school. I don't know where I would be today had it not been for Andrew! Sincerely, A very grateful former client

Four years ago, Nic Bacetich walked into my hospital room. My road to recovery was long. Dealing with a case & the drunk driver was the last on my mind. Nic has been God-sent. He dove right in. This case was harder than we anticipated. It took an immense amount of dedication, time, proof & knowledge. We met many times in person, over phone & over emails. He remained honest, patient & professional from start to finish. As time went on I was accumulating more & more medical bills. From surprise surgeries, to treatments, therapies & miscellaneous medical spendings. Without Nic I would have been stuck with hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay off. His assistant Lorrie has been tremendous help. Very attentive & responsive. They have great connections & go the extra mile. They truly, truly care about their clients & have become like family. Nic Bacetich has given us the results we’ve never thought were achievable. I’m forever & ever grateful. Without the help of Nic, I would not have had the successful outcome. It was a long road, but very well worth it.

Outstanding performance. I hired Nic and gave him a box of papers and notes that were a mess, as I am a challenged person. Instead of fleeing from me (understandably) he drew CLOSER to me, determined to rescue me. His deep kindness was equaled by his professional acumen. He delivered more than he promised, granting me my desired victory plus gifting me with a new lifelong friend. Highest recommendation.

I first start off by saying that Jack D. Clark is definitely the type of attorney one would hope to be referred to. I feel pretty lucky that I was referred to him myself. I sought Jack’s assistance in a tough custody case seeking a reversal of a parenting plan. My personal case couldn’t have gone better. Jack represented me and my family very well. In preparing for hearings, trials, and mediations, he was well prepared, to the point, and down to earth. In court, Jack was very respectful, persuasive, thoughtful, and articulate. He had a great mannerism, kept me very well informed, and I found that, over the course of my case, it felt like he was not just simply my attorney, he was someone I felt that was really fighting on my side and was someone I could trust. I think that is saying something. Jack also had a no-nonsense approach. He stuck to working on what mattered and was even able to find ways where I could get involved and help reduce my costs. I really believe that my kids and I received the best outcome that was possible. I also feel that I received a great value in his representation. Working with Jack D. Clark was a good fit for me and I feel that it was definitely money well spent. Again, Jack D. Clark is an attorney that I have no hesitation in making a referral to for a family law or personal injury case.

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.
