Ms Simmonds was hired to be my attorney I'd say back in 2019 for a custody case. After being hired my ex and I had a situation where we had to hold off on our case for 2/3 years until it was all situated. After 2/3 years SHE CONTINUED to represent me and helped me out up to today where the case has finally been dismissed/closed. She's been there for me since before my daughter was 1 years old, she is now 5 going on 6. Very dedicated. Very helpful. Has been nothing but kind and compassionate, especially with what my daughter and I just went through. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to represent you. Thank you for all that you've done for us.

After it seemed like everybody just didn't want to help me, or gave me False information and hope. I found Tasha through one of my clients... in a matter of a week I was able to be with my son again after years. Tasha is straight forward, no sugar coating. Gets things done, and doesn't play NO games. I'm so thankful for her and highly recommend her!

This woman is a terrible lawyer I acquired her through Marble Law and she constantly had me confused with other people she worked for. Then would she would realize she had the wrong person she would literally tell me oh I was just about to call you that was of course a lie. I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone. When I was preparing for a hearing with her to build a defense for a child custody/ childsupport case this woman had the biggest attitude when I would try to explain myself to her in regards to what I wanted. As if she was paying me I would once again not recommend this lady. To add insult to injury she would never pick up the phone when I called she wouldn't call me back ever within a timely manner. For example she was suppose to send an email that I needed to fill out as a response to the court on that Friday she said she would send it on her way out the office this women never sent the email and i was suppose to be that Monday. I was sweating bullets waiting on this email I called a text I prayed she never responded until that Sunday. But only to tell me she's at church right now and she's going to call once she gets out. I didn't hear from here until almost night time. Then when I she finally sent the email this lady tells me oh you don't actually need to fill it out anyway. Keep in mind this is after waiting all day Friday and all day Saturday and most of that Sunday. We then have a conversation the following week when she calls to get some information from me and we end up having a sparing match by words over my physical address that the court didn't even request they only had requested the mailing which she already had along with the courts. I couldn't believe the nerve the lawyer I am paying for arguing with me over information that the court isn't even requesting and then she uses this information in the future to get me dropped from Marble Law all together. It went like this she called me late that day after 5pm with the phone on speaker as if she was laying back relaxing and wanting just to rush the conversation as if I was her last stop of the day. I took a lot of offense to that conversation and decided based on the wrong names I was constantly getting called because of her mix ups and lack of following up and showing any concern about my case, I decided to just drop her all together. So I then call Marble they explain the process says it will be no problem asked my what was wrong and I explained to them everything that I had written here. So within less than three days I was switched to another attorney out of Ocala named Brian Laird. Well I received an initial call from this gentleman to introduce himself and he just gave me the run down about what was our next steps and he explained that he would be following up with me. Fast forward a few days go by and I haven't heard back from Brian when I call him he tells me that I had been dropped by Marble law and he didn't know why. So I then proceed to call Marble when I do this they inform me that I was dropped because Tasha Simmonds had said that I had with held information keep in mind this hearing is about my eight year old son. Just to show you how sinister this woman is. The information that she said that I with held was my address which I showed them in an email from her that she already had the mailing as well as the courts but she had got an attitude about the physical for what ever reason when even she stated the courts aren't asking for a physical just a mailing which everyone already had. This woman had made it seemed to Marble as if i had with held information that the courts needed and I then proceeded to send the email proving my point as to how she was a manipulator and liar. I then was called by a woman from Marble named Athena who fought for me and took those emails to her higher ups and I was rewarded a full refund. Needless to say I am letting everyone that I know, know about this woman and her diabolic practices and erratic behavior.

I cannot recommend Schlesinger Law Offices highly enough for their exceptional representation in our tobacco case. From the initial consultation to the final settlement, they demonstrated unparalleled expertise and dedication. Gdanski, Hammer & Brittany were not only knowledgeable about the intricacies of tobacco litigation but also compassionate and understanding throughout the entire process. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case, resulting in a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. They were always available to answer my questions and address any concerns, providing clear and concise explanations every step of the way. If you are seeking legal representation for a legal matter, look no further than Schlesinger. Their commitment to their clients and track record of success makes them the best choice for anyone in need of expert legal counsel.

Both he and his office responds in a kind and timely fashion. He is trustworthy and gives sound and practical legal advice. I couldn’t endorse him more.

I wouldn’t recommend him to a snail. He is nasty. He is rude. His practice is incompetent. I’m so disgusted by him and his firm that I’ve filed a complaint with the Florida Bar Association. He fired his assistant, he didn’t notify any of the clients he had assigned her. He claims he wasn’t notified that I had even signed a contract despite my having the PROOF that I had. On top of that I sent my personal information to the assistant. What kind of law firm is run that isn’t made aware of new contracts signed and that has clientele personal information floating around. Tacky. When I told him that I didn’t appreciate the bad customer service he went off on me and so now I’m filing a complaint with the Florida Bar Association. He is unprofessional. He is tacky. He is nasty. He is rude and I wouldn’t recommend him to a snail.

I was retained by Chris to evaluate an automatic door injury claim. He was representing the defendant, and wanted to know and understand all aspects of the claim from my point of view as a door expert. Chris was efficient and diligent and scheduled an inspection early on in the case. Together, we inspected the doorway and all of the relevant service and video documentation. Unlike so many attorneys that send junior staff members out to meet an expert and do not take care of their cases, Chris was personally involved and provided all relevant and pertinent information at all stages of the claim. Working with Chris was straightforward, and he was eager to provide the appropriate information to his client in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to work with him in the future as he took care of business responsibly. He made sure that all of our invoices were promptly paid, and was respectful and courteous to my staff. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I appreciate his attention and competency. He is a professional that wants positive results for his client. As an expert working on hundreds of cases for both plaintiff and defense sides, I found Chris to be the kind of attorney that worked up and developed the case, not just dropped a load of documentation on my desk and never followed up. I look forward to working with him in the future.

El día Sábado 01/20/2024 tuvimos un accidente, ocasionado por un par de irresponsables que iban a alta velocidad en una carretera de 40 millas, impactándonos en la parte trasera, evidentemente esto cambió nuestro ritmo de vida, afectando la parte de salud y laboral. Una amistad nos recomendó esta firma de abogados, y no se equivocó, porque lucharon hasta el final para que pudiéramos obtener la máxima cantidad de compensación económica. Reitero mi agradecimiento, y sin lugar a dudas los recomendaré con quien pudiera necesitar de sus servicios. GRACIAS!!!

Brian and Dennis did a great job of supporting me in my car accident case. They explained the process and situation in detail and led me well, and also treated me warmly, which allowed me to work with peace of mind. I want to thank them again for taking care of me and wrapping things up. It shouldn't happen again to work together again, lol, but if a situation arises, I would work with Brian again.

Lawrence and Rose Ben, as well as their paralegal, provided me with an excellent and exceptional level of care.They were always available to me by phone, and treated me with kindness! They quickly got me to physicians to treat my injuries. They always discussed my experience while undergoing these procedures. I can honestly say that I have never had this level of compassion and service in dealing with any other attorneys. At the end of the day, the Bens were able to reduce my medical bills drastically, and still get me a great settlement. Larry and Rose do not drag their heels; they worked with great alacrity on my case, I would highly recommend the Ben Law Firm, if you are keen not only with results but also great personal service!

Larry and Rose (and Sandra) are a rare find these days in the legal world. They treat each client case the same (big or small) and work aggressively on your behalf. At the end of the day, they treat you like an individual, they know your name and ultimately remember that a serious accident has brought you to them. I put my trust in Larry and Rose and they didn't let me down. They saw my case through from beginning to the very end and every bump in between!!!

A real quality that seems to be lost in this day and age for people. Mr. Ben and his staff took the time to explain to me what may or may not happen in my son's case. Never once did they "tell me what I wanted to hear" they were honest and clear and never made any promises. They actually took the time to call on numerous occasions to see how he was doing and to make sure he was feeling better as time went by. It was refreshing to know we were more than a case number or a dollar amount. It has been a pleasure to work with them and if the need arises in the future and I need them again I will not hesitate to call.

Jason Pearl has been a go to several times for injury claims. Unfortunately, myself and my family have been prone to a long line of accidents. Including one that nearly took my life by a drunk driver. I have never dealt with someone who is more compassionate about his clients then him. He listens to his clients instead of talking over them and always puts the ball in their court and gives them the final say. He advises his clients honestly of all possible outcome based on all possible decisions. The one time I didn’t use him (at my wife’s insistence) it turned into a three ring circus and I had to do the attorney’s job for them. His office staff is just as phenomenal as he is. If you are injured in any way I strongly suggest you speak with Jason first. He won’t necessarily paint you a rosy picture but will give you honest advice which is highly unusual this day and age. Thank you again Jason for all you’ve done

He has a hands on approach along with his staff to keep you informed as the process moves along.

I was in a brutal accident in Fort Lauderdale, and I was really afraid of medical bills and not being able to work for many days. Adam was referred to me as a bicycle accident attorney from a friend of mine. I wasn't aware that someone specializes in that first of all. Then I learned that he was also a member of Million Dollar Advocates Forum which is based on achieving rewards/claims for plaintiffs in cases. Well I was able to settle with the defendant for a'lot of money and rehabilitate my health. I owe Adam my life.

From start to finish, she was consistently attentive and made me feel truly heard, something that can be rare in such a complex and emotional process. She was always a step ahead, ensuring that the Judge was well aware of every detail in my case. Her dedication to the facts and her meticulous approach were apparent every step of the way. What sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares. She takes the time to understand every aspect of your situation, and her empathy is matched only by her professionalism and ethical standards. While she is incredibly supportive, she also offers a grounded perspective, making sure you understand your real options and where adjustments might need to be made. Her guidance is honest, and she provides realistic advice tailored to your financial circumstances, ensuring you are fully aware of what’s practical and achievable.

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.
