There is no way I would have won my case without Renee and the Renee Kennedy PLLC legal team by my side. I initially came in as the underdog, thought I didn’t have a fighting chance in my case. But her legal team turned everything around for me by paying attention to detail and catching my ex’s legal strategy mistakes that other attorneys couldn’t see. I’m super grateful to them. I ended up coming out from the bottom to the top. And there’s no way in the world I would have been able to flip my situation if it wasn’t for this law firm. Highly recommended!!! If you need a skilled, super experienced law firm. They are your must go-to.

I am a single mother with very limited income and called Ms. Kennedy because I needed advice on how to handle a case my children's father just blindsided me with. Ms. Kennedy went above and beyond to not only advise me about my next steps but also drafted some of the necessary documents at no charge to me just to help me out because of the extreme emergency and time sensitivity. She did it for free! Heart of pure gold! I know Ms. Kennedy cannot do this for everyone, but I am so very grateful she helped me out. I was only expecting a consult and got so much more!! Anyone who retains Ms. Kennedy should feel blessed and confident that their case is in the best of hands.

As a single parent who was in an accident two weeks after moving to a new town with no support system the Pascoe law firm was amazing. Everything from beginning to end was taken care of leaving me to focus on my healing process. My settlement was more than I could have ever expected or hoped for. I will never use another attorney. I cannot say enough good things about the entire team!

What can one ask for when navigating the financial, mental, and physical stress caused by an unexpected incident?
Patience, communication, empathy, transparency, integrity, compassion; a few of the many qualities consistently displayed by Alton Todd and Seth Park as they handled my case.
Always a text or phone call away, I was truly blessed to have this team on my side and can see how this firm has maintained such a strong reputation.
I hope I never have to seek legal counsel again, but if I do I know who I would want in my corner. Thank you for everything.

The Law Firm of Alton Todd exceeded my expectations. I was involved in a horrific and life changing golf card wreck in May 2021. Alton Todd and his firm worked expediently on my behalf with the utmost of integrity. He handled my case with expertise and compassion. Alton fought tirelessly to hold the responsible parties accountable which resulted in securing a favorable settlement for me. The firm provided honesty and placed importance on the details and my individual circumstances. I never felt like just another client. Every decision during the process was made with MY best interest in mind and all options were thoroughly discussed and weighted. Without a doubt, I would hire The Law Firm of Alton Todd again if the need ever arose.

Thank you for handling my divorce during the Pandemic. You stopped my (then) husband from harassing me and prevented him from taking away the home I bought before we married. I can never thank you enough for all your hard work and the way you won my case. I would recommend you to anyone! David Thornton and his team are awesome.

You see that review from Christina Murphy? Imagine it taking over 10 year to win custody (without child support, I might add) of an alleged abused 17 yr old. Smh. We signed over custody to save our Son the potential mental anguish of what his bio (I say this bc she wasn't active in his life until he was in 6th grade- she went years without speaking to him, a few times) Mom was doing.
I'm confident when I say we would've won pro se against Christina Murphy and David Thornton had they actually followed through with court. They didn't. They cancelled it the day before. Go figure.
They completely fabricated many details to create a frivolous suit against my family. I feel sorry for her for wasting so much money for nothing.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
