He is always available to you unlike some I have known in my experience. More importantly he was compassionate with the situation and folks involved. I applaud his professionalism and kindness. His manner in which he conducts business made a very difficult and stressful situation bearable. Thank you, David Rubin.

Bankalypse Law Practice was beyond incredible! After going through several lawyers to help me with my immigration case, I finally found David and the entire process with him was transparent, straightforward, and I’m happy to say, successful! I can’t thank David enough for everything. He was always available if I had a question or concern. He never made me feel like I was bothering him. I highly recommend using this practice for all your immigration needs.

If you’re looking for an attorney who legal services provided on your injury case , who can respond quickly. Mahaney&Pappas’s team and especially Chuck P. will do it in a right and perfect way for you. They sincerely care about their clients. They pay incredible attention to detail and always look out for what’s best for clients. I was happy to work with Chuck . I contacted many, but only he answered and gave me a complete picture of the progress of the case on my injury. Even though the other side avoided payments in every possible way. As promised, he won all the cases and we came to an agreement (settlement) about my claim with the other side. He got it done and I really do appreciate his work.

This is a very professional and caring law firm. David Crossley is hands on and attentively listens to what you say. His support staff is great and equally as professional and caring. Phone calls and E-mails are responded to, at the latest, the next day. The actual hearing is less tense as Atty. Crossley explains everything that is going on.

I lived in america from 2003-2009 I have returned home to ireland and remain here since those dates for family reasons. Barry came highly recommended I had a very important lose end to tie up which barry did it very efficiently and professionally. As you can imagine doing this from another country is an absolute nightmare but barry was there no matter the time of the day and out of work hours I am so grateful to barry as this was an ongoing situation for a while. Barry had all my correct information back within a few days and I was able to move forward with my life. I can only say fantastic things about this man and I would highly recommend him and his expertise in this field anytime no matter how complicated the issue was. Thanks again Barry .

Working with Barry and his paralegal Sue was a dream in a horrible situation. I met with Barry immediately following leaving my ex wife, and he took my case, compiled, and completed the separation agreement the same day. I was in a situation that became very contentious, and Barry and Sue helped me navigate it with grace. They were consistently available, gave me good advice, answered all of my (very many) questions, and helped me maintain distance from my ex. They were endlessly professional, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile to make things work for me. Additionally, Barry was able to help me keep the divorce as amicable and affordable as possible, streamlined the process successfully, and got me in and out of court efficiently despite the complications that arose secondary to my ex becoming contentious. I cannot begin to recommend Barry enough.

The person I married was not the girl I dated. I asked around to those fancy Ivy league lawyers and most said things like "You never know how a judge, jury... is going to..." Not Barry right off the bat he knew what to do and how to win the case, and he did. I walked out of Cambridge court with her paying me... yes you just read that. Barry is very honest affordable and most of effective. The Best.

Matt Koes is calm, knowledgeable and patient. He explains the law in a way you can understand. He was up front about the pros and cons of our case, didn't make fluffy promises. We received a settlement for 100% of our losses- which were substantial. Very satisfied with his work. He has great people skills. There were hot tempers and unhappy people in our mess. He wasn't ruffled. Give him a call. I know we were very happy with our resolution!

I worked with Matthew after I was involved in a serious car accident where the other driver ran a red light and totaled my vehicle. During this stressful time, Matthew was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. From the beginning he was realistic in setting my expectations and worked diligently on my behalf to settle with the insurance company. I highly recommend him.

Jeff personally represented me in a business litigation dispute involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. He was incredibly thorough, researching our adversary's history and anticipating every move. Through the course of the discovery process he came back with results every step of the way. He was relentless, taking adverse rulings up and savvy enough to sidestep a dead end without burning up excess fees. In the end he forced settlement negotiations which we entered from a position of strength due to success in discovery. He brought in a great settlement and earned a great bonus on top of the fee, which was very reasonable. I would hire Jeff and his firm again and would recommend him one hundred percent. Tough, honest, creative and seasoned.

I had the privilege of working with an exceptional immigration lawyer, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her remarkable services. From the very beginning of my immigration journey until the successful resolution of my case, she proved herself to be an outstanding professional. Her expertise in immigration law was evident from our very first consultation. She patiently listened to my concerns and provided clear explanations about the legal process ahead. Her deep understanding of the complexities involved in immigration matters immediately put me at ease, knowing that my case was in capable hands. Throughout the entire process, my lawyer demonstrated unwavering dedication and commitment. She meticulously prepared all the necessary paperwork and ensured that everything was filed accurately and on time. Her attention to detail was truly impressive, and I felt confident that my case was being handled with the utmost care. One of the qualities that stood out the most was her responsiveness and accessibility. Whenever I had questions or concerns, she promptly replied and provided me with the guidance I needed. It was evident that she genuinely cared about my case and was invested in its success. Her professionalism and integrity were unmatched. She always kept me informed about the progress of my case and set realistic expectations. I never felt like just another client; she treated me with respect and compassion throughout the entire process. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, my immigration case was successfully resolved. I am now able to pursue my dreams and build a better future for myself and my family, and it would not have been possible without her invaluable assistance. I wholeheartedly recommend this immigration lawyer to anyone seeking legal counsel in immigration matters. Her dedication, knowledge, and exceptional service make her stand out as one of the best in her field. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer who will go above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for your case, look no further. I am truly grateful for the great job she did, and I cannot thank her enough for all her efforts. Thank you, Counselor Sincerely, Monssif

There were so many issues and stressful moments having Simon as a lawyer and with the staff lawyer Christine who was assigned to my case. Christine was very rude and unprofessional; her communication skills were awful. Simon missed a due date that I wasn't aware of and called me 3 days AFTER the due date looking for the information. I sent the document within 2 days of notification from Simon, which now made the document 5 days late, by the time the document was sent to opposing counsel, it was 10 days past the original due date. Another similar situation occurred within 2 months of this missed due date. Simon sent a portion of an email from the opposing counsel to me regarding a request to send documents as required by an Order. I didn't have any knowledge of the Order at the time of the email sent by Simon. Simon sent the email request to me 1 week after the Order date. Some of the requested documents were previously sent to Simon. I worked on assembling the documents later that night into the early hours of the next morning just to get the documents to him ASAP. This created another stressful situation for me. Simon sent an email to me with regards to the deposition containing only the deposition notice; the email from Simon didn't contain any verbiage or any strategy on how he would handle the deposition just the deposition notification attachment. The email didn't contain any information as to whether or not Simon would be present at the deposition. I had to ask Simon what was the plan for handling the deposition. I responded to the email that I wasn't happy about the deposition and told him why I wasn't happy, which we discussed several times before. When coronavirus became prevalent in March 2020, I sent an email to Simon asking him about the plan to continue with my case with coronavirus affecting business operations. I asked Simon to reach out to the group handling the case to determine the new timeline. Simon responded via email to my email and indicated he wanted to wait until the ban was lifted to contact the group handling my case find out the plan. All work on my case prior to coronavirus was being done completely through emails, so there wasn't any reason to stop continuing to work on my case as the group handling the case clearly posted on their website that cases would still proceed and be processed via email. I sent Simon an email showing him the information on the company website stating they were still operational and there was not reason for not continuing to work on my case during the coronavirus shutdown. With all the mishaps that happened with my case, I believed my case was on track to be a loss especially since due dates were being missed without my knowledge. After using coronavirus as a reason not to continue work on my case, I couldn't continue with the stress and sought a new lawyer. The new lawyer fought hard for my case. He communicated with me on the progress of my case truly cared about my case. I had a successful outcome with my new lawyer and was thankful to have him as my lawyer. My experience was the opposite of my experience with Simon, it was stress free and pleasurable.

I hired Simon Mann. Simon was very responsive throughout, but as time went on, it was apparent that not much attention was being paid to details, which are important, in order to litigate successfully. It was becoming apparent, that Simon was just doing bare minimum so that it looks as if 'something' is being done. After quite a few interactions, it was evident that the matter is complex and requires a high level of discernment, which I found amiss. Maybe, Simon is good for smaller litigation matters but not so much for complicated matters.

I met Attorney David Heinlein through a friend. I met David with him about a case. I gave his lots of paperwork and he said he would get back me to. The case was on a contingency basis (where he takes most of his cases). After months of calls and missed promises by Heinlein, I got pissed off. He can't keep his word. I would not recommend for anything. He was very unprofessional.

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.
