George Karpouzis answered the phone right away when I called. I needed help with an immigration documentation issue and he was accommodating to meet with me the same day. During our conversation, he provided excellent advice and proceeded to work with me towards solving the issue. I had called multiple attorneys before him and they were unable to provide help in any meaningful way, but George knew what was needed right away. My issue went from a multi week struggle into a single effective session that provided all the answers and results required. Now that is great service!
I wholeheartedly recommend George for your immigration needs as he is able, willing and certain on what needs to be done. I could not recommend him more!
Thanks again George!

Attorney George Karpouzis is an extremely honest man who takes great pride in his work. You will speak and work with him directly which makes you feel safe and confident with your situation. I appreciate the fact that if I had a question or need he was the person answering my questions and not a staff member who is not invested in my case. He does great work and genuinely cares about his clients which, from my experience, most attorneys don't. I highly recommend him for any civil case you have and immigration needs as well. I hired him for my PERSONAL INJURY case. He made the process so much easier and I was compensated much more than I would've been had I not hired him. I've recommended him to my family and friends.

Someone close to me called because she received an arrest warrant and was terrified to go to the court and get arrested. We decided it would be best if she had representation, so I searched the internet to find a trustworthy attorney. I loved what everyone said about The Kent Law Firm and it was absolutely true. I called the number on their website and Jeff Kent answered the phone. In less than 24 hours, he was able to get the warrant recalled and resolved the matter. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone.

Hired this attorney and she delayed filing my case by almost 6 months- barely missing the statue limitations. Did not know how to handle the case, continuously got railroaded by the defense attorneys that were more skilled and advanced than her. I had to fire her and hire an experienced attorney and spend over $20,000 just to fix all the mistakes that she made. One of the worst business decisions I’ve made in my life. Save yourself and don’t use this attorney.

My grandmother needed an attorney to update her estate planning documents so we contacted Amanda Johnson for an initial consultation and felt very comfortable with her. Amanda was extremely professional and diligent with her work and completed her work within the month. Now, our family feels at ease knowing that everything is in place should something happen to us. I recommend Amanda Johnson for any work with wills and trusts.

He seemed like a shark, at first. BUT during my lawsuit, he knew about this witness that was called by the defense for weeks and, only at the end of the day before this witness was to testify, he asked me for questions/info that he could use because he had "no idea what to do with her". I was shocked but spent a few hours, when I got home from the hearing that day, compiling a list of about 20-30 points/questions and sent them to him. We met the next morning at the court, and I asked if he had read the document that I sent, and he stated that he - had not. He stated that his kids were sick, and he didn't get much sleep. The judge eventually ruled against me using this witness's hearsay testimony. I lost my home and about $200,000 and had to file for Bankruptcy. Basically, lost my life and it's been hard on me/us, since. An appeal would have cost $50,000 and would have gone to 3 judges to rule if the judge had made a mistake in any processes. Apparently "hearsay" can be used if the judge decides that he wants to. (This was a bench trial). Maybe there wasn't enough fight against this "hearsay" because Rob was unprepared? I only gave one star because of this - AND because Rob contacted me just after I lost and said that he would bill me for $25,000 which is half of what I owed him, at that point. Of course, that offer was only good if I agreed to it right away and paid. Otherwise, I probably would have had to fight him in court over not paying him at all. Who knows...
Also, in the beginning, he had assigned a different lawyer to work with me and I really liked her. Maybe my case was too small for him? But she had quit just before I went to trial.
When you sue someone, you are assigned a judge. Because I chose a bench trial, I knew that my case would be judged by that one single judge that was assigned. I happened to get lucky because I felt that this judge was my peer, and we all have the right to be judged by a jury of our peers.
If the issue is not worked out in mediation between the two parties, the judge will offer one last time to mediate with a different judge, rather than a mediator.
I made it very clear to Rob that I wanted that judge to oversee my trial. Knowing that the defendant could never come to agreement because of his ridiculous “asks” (the mediator agreed) in the first mediation. I only agreed to do the second mediation because Rob told me that I might as well make the guy come into the courthouse that day rather than let him just sit happily at his office or wherever, while his lawyer was there for him instead. Plus, Rob reminded me that I’m having to pay him for the full day because the judge will make us sit there all day, whether we go to this second mediation or not. AND, it looks good to show that you’ve “tried”.
So after making clear that I still wanted this judge, I went to a separate room and sat there while both lawyers for the opposing sides went back into the chambers of this other mediator judge. Rob ended up coming out and told me that the judge said that I was “being reasonable” but apparently the defendant doesn’t want to work things out. No surprise there. Rob then told me that I was assigned to a new judge. (Insert major anger emoji here.) I asked Rob why that happened and can we reverse this - and I never got an answer. He just walked down the hall with me looking like he was thinking hard.
Fast forward - I was then contacted by his office this year. This is 4 years later - and they asked if I wanted a file that I had given them and they would destroy it for me, if not. I had asked for this file after I had lost 4 years ago and I was told they didn't have it or couldn't find it. 4 years is the statute of limitations that one has if they want to sue their lawyer for negligence or malpractice.

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.
