When does a business fulfill an emotional purpose for you in a critical time & it pays off? Life doesn't look the same when you've suffered a serious injury. The first thing that happened when I told reception about my case, I was talking to Sam, himself, who I've seen in commercials since I was a kid. I don't know if he's there to do that every time, but all of their staff were efficient and on point the whole time, and I felt that I was cared about as part of the case. That let me focus on healing to get back to my life.

Marina and Matthew are a great team! I really appreciate all the hard work that Marina did accumulating all the data to form my case. She is a tremendous asset to your organization. She made me feel like a person and not a file number.

I have obtained services from many attorneys in my life, but I have yet to find one that can match his responsiveness. You won't wait weeks, days, or even hours for an answer. Having immediate feedback during delicate situations eases the anxiety one feels when dealing with the court system.

I'm thankful for his representation and highly recommend for all family law matters!

Parvine is the best! Absolutely, hands down, bar none! I was being railroaded with a criminal matter and a friend referred me to her. She took the time to speak with me constantly and put my mind at ease. I walked away with nothing more than fines and a small probation. It’s all been said and done for a while, but we still talk on a regular basis. She calls just to say hello and just talk with me about anything. I love this woman and how good of a person she is.

I thought my attorneys Bobby Raitt and Alison Duffy were easy to get along with. What I really liked about them was that when I called with a question, they would call me back the same day. They worked as a team to help me with whatever I needed. They were just prompt with the information I needed and easy to work with. I was in a car accident, so they took care of all of the medical bills that kept getting sent to me. I didn't have to deal with the insurance companies anymore, because they took care of my PIP lawsuit and made sure I got all of my no fault benefits. I didn't have to deal with anything because I knew they were on the ball. Bobby and Alison also called me with updates, so I knew things were always moving toward a timely settlement. They were both very professional and great lawyers. I would definitely refer them to anyone that I know who gets into an auto accident.

I was in a motor vehicle accident and after getting cited for the accident, I called Michigan Auto Law. I wanted the responsible party to be responsible. Everything from my initial talk with Jeff Bussell, who began my case, to my attorneys Bobby Raitt and Alison Duffy, who litigated has been excellent. They had very good communication, kept me in the loop and made me feel very important. I know they have other clients, but I never felt like they were rushed when talking to me or they were punching the clock. Bobby and Alison were always there for me, and very helpful in guiding me through each step of the process. I'm extremely happy with the way they resolved the case – and the steps they took in litigation, because they wouldn't take the initial low offer. They had my best interest in mind every step of the way.

My lawyers were very helpful. I had a team of two: Bob Raitt and Alison Duffy. They took care of everything and knew exactly what they were doing. I could tell they were very experienced and knowledgeable about the auto accident laws in Michigan, so I didn't have to worry about my case. The communication was rapid. If I had questions, they would answer right away and someone was always there to talk with me. They make you feel like you're important, which was important to me. If you want an easy, experienced, knowledgeable lawyer, come to Michigan Auto Law and they will help with any situation you have.

I wanted to express my gratitude for your efforts and dedication for my case. It was quite a long and upsetting process and I could never thought anyone would stay by my side for this long but you were very generous regarding it.
I am grateful to you that you took all the stress and worrying out of it and restored everything and more for me. Your faith, knowledge and determination were something that solves my worries. Thank you.
I need to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for my family and myself. You have touched our hearts in such a fond way that is beyond a lawyer and client relationship. I will never be able to thank you enough for carrying us through the last 2 and a half years and putting in countless amounts of hours on this case. I feel as though you went above and beyond for me and are forever grateful for your support. You truly are damn good at what you do and we pray for continual success for both your law firm and family. Although we pray to never need your services again, I will recommend you and you firm in the highest regards to anyone who may need a Great and Super Lawyer. I wish there was something more profound than "thank you" to say, but thank you!!!
Sincerely
Lionel A.

Jeff Malin represented my daughter in a personal injury claim. It took 3 years and much documentation and communication with us while living in China to see this case to a very successful end. Mr. Malin kept up with every detail of her case and was very knowledgeable of the aspects that would bring her the greatest settlement reward. He was helpful, diligent and stayed the course with us through my daughter's surgery and many other tests and procedures related to her injury. Mr Malin was most professional and helpful to us throughout this process and proved to be an excellent negotiator in the settlement process, truly beyond our expectations! I strongly recommend Mr. Malin to anyone in need of representation in personal injury claims involving and dealing with insurance companies.

I had a simple trip and fall case that I had brought to Jeff, at least we both thought it was going to be a simple case. The lawyer that Jeff was up against went into areas that were totally unnecessary (I'm not going to go into them, but suffice to say, this lawyer was ruthless). Jeff defended me in every instance. I don't beleive that many lawyers would have gone through what Jeff went through for me, and I thank him Soooo Much!!! He turned my life around in so many ways. If you want a Trial Lawyer that won't flinch no matter what's put in front of him, Jeff Malin is your man.

I felt like Brian Fantich worked hard for me. I was told how everything works after he took my case and after I signed up with him, everything went the way they told me it was going to go. The lawyer always called me back. He sent me letters to check on me. He got the insurance adjuster to keep going up on the offer. He is a good lawyer. The people who work there are real nice too.

Marco was priceless in helping me navigate a hard legal situation. He was literally there for me with not more than a few hours notice, fighting for my rights in the court of law.

Marco spent time with me to truly understand the situation and determine the best course of action for me and my interests. He developed and executed a clear plan that proved to be successful. Marco clearly has a strong understanding of the law in addition to knowing how to execute and achieve positive results. He was willing to put in the time and energy on my behalf to achieve success. I would definitely work with Marco again and strongly recommend his services to anyone in need of an attorney.

I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Marco. My wife and I had a difficult decision to make regarding a new teaching career for her and had some questions that neeed answers. Marco was able to give us the precise advise that bought us time to more thoroughly look at our options. He also followed up with us a week later to see if we had anymore questions. I'd recommend him to anyone.

A few years ago I contacted Ms. Djordjeski as a recommendation from a friend for some house leasing issues I was having. She was hired by my husband and I to review our lease and help settle some disputes between us and our landlord at the time. She was super educated, eloquent and down to business. Ms. Djordjeski reviewed our information in a timely manner and handled our case, no matter how minor, with diligence for the law. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Marcus is a great young man and excellent attorney. My husband is 53 and I am still working at 49. Well my husband began having medical problems including several heart attacks in the past 2 years. He couldnt work and we were living off my part time wages. I couldnt believe he was denied benefits. We called Sam Bernstein, and eventually Marcus became our attorney. He was upfront, and he was always there to answer our questions. Even our dumb questions. At the hearing we learned that he had written several briefs to the judge and pushed to have the judge make a favorable decision for us. We were so suprised when the hearing only took 4 minutes.

Wow! Lou was an excellent attorney who handled my divorce with expertise. He kept me from worrying about the little things and focused on the bigger picture - divorce. He took time to review the case and when I would talk to him, he remembered exactly what I was talking about. He told me he would do his best to work within the retainer and he accomplished this. When the case was over i didn't owe any additional money but, i felt compelled to give him a tip since he did such an excellent job. I feel I received an excellent judgement with my divorce and have no regrets. What Lou promised me, he delivered, better than my expectations. If you are reading this, this is definitely the attorney to hire. You can even ask me questions.

He is a highly skilled attorney who knows his business and was very attentive to every detail which resulted in favorable outcomes. He is a trustworthy attorney that provided me with peace of mind while we were going through the litigation process. I would highly recommend him and will definitely keep him in mind for any future needs.

Ray practically saved my life, put me on a path to better myself and I can’t thank him enough for it. I love that he cares deeply! I had 2 previous attorneys before I met Ray who didn’t do anything for me, didn’t give me the right direction, I was a train wreck. Ray gave me my life back! I recommend him as an attorney, he will not give up on you, and you need to be willing to not give up on yourself for him to work with you. Thank you Ray so much for helping me with my case and most importantly, myself. God bless you!

My husband and I sought help for his worker’s compensation case after dealing with a career ending, on the job injury, for nearly 3 years without resolution; even after enduring every single demand they requested of him, both pre and post surgery. Several attorneys had informed us they believed best case scenario would be for him to take social security disability, that is, until we met Alex. Alex was compassionate, understanding and really took the time to listen to our extremely complex case; a case we were told was completely different than 98% of the cases he’s done in his 40 years of experience. While both Alex and my husband had hoped for a larger, more accommodating settlement from a well known municipality, we were pleased with the outcome, our ability to move forward with our lives and starting the journey for a new career, for my husband. Alex is a man who genuinely cares about his clients and their best interests, all while being honest, kind and upfront. His paralegal, Caitlin, was also exceptional relaying messages, answering questions, gathering sensitive information and doing it all with an overwhelming sense of kindness. We would highly recommend Alex and his team to anyone dealing workers compensation and the terrible stressors that can ensue. We could never properly express our gratitude for this law firm and its staff, who we now consider family; without all of you, we would still be spinning our wheels in neutral. An infinite amount of thank yous from the bottom of our hearts. God Bless you all,

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.
