John was very attentive to my case and was readily available although I had many questions! He never made me feel like a burden he allowed me to explain my concerns without dismissing them. On the day of my appointment John was very friendly and helpful and I could not have asked for a better person to represent me. John the pizza was good:)

Kevin Quirk is by far the BEST attorney in Gainesville. He has been helped me with several charges. Many of which he got sealed, dropped, and reduced for me. It’s obvious he has a great relationship with the Gainesville court. Years later, he has still been a phone call away from giving me advice on my future endeavors. When you speak to him, it’s almost as if you’ve known him for decades. He’s kind, trustworthy, and looks after you!
Kevin, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

I hired Gary after SSD turned me down after I had already waited 2 years , He gave me a great sense of relief to know that this is the norm now, He put me at ease knowing that he had my back even if they turned me down AGAIN !! He talked plainly so as I could easily understand, and charged me nothing up front, I highly recommend him, A +

I retained Gary after firing an Attorney in Lake City, FL I retained said Attorney to file my 1st SSDI appeal. After I retained the Lake City Attorney, months went by and I never heard from him. He would not return my calls, would not see me. Just having his staff tell me he would find out the delay and get back with me. Finally after 12+ months I caught said Attorney walking into his office and he told me that he had done nothing except file the appeal and had not even touched my case since then. Stated the reason was because his "accident" cases brought in alot more money than the SSDI's! SAY WHAT???
He handed me my file and told me GOID LUCK.
I called GARY the very next day. Had my Initial Consult in 3 days, had an Appeals Hearing withing 3 1/2 months in Jacksonville before a Judge and was approved two weeks after my Appeals Hearing. In 4 months, Gary refiled the Appeal, did the legwork, represented me in Court and won my case. FOUR MONTHS!! NOTE: Gary represented my Brother for SSDI also. Same time frame, but he got my Brother APPROVED BEFORE the Appeals Court date.
YES, Gary Fernandez, Jr., is a VERY capable, knowledgeable Attorney that will do the very best at getting you what you deserve!!

Mr. Fernandes saved my life, literally. I had been in a near fatal car wreck & was in a wheelchair for 18 months. He fought tirelessly for me, and was able to secure enough benefits to keep me afloat. I recommend him very highly. He knows how to navigate the Social Security system like no other. Believe me- I am alive & functional today because he fought so vigorously for me.

Extremely poor communication. Seem to only prioritize cases that make the most money. Had a much larger case last year and the communication was okay. This year is something smaller but we haven't had a status in two months despite two emails to them. Would not recommend. Maybe they're overbooked but you would never know because you rarely hear from them.
UPDATE 7/30:
Two emails later, we have still heard NOTHING from the office. They incorrectly filed our original paperwork and even asked for the same paperwork we submitted to them. Updating to one star. Do not recommend. The communication is non existent.

I'm begging anyone considering this attorney for family law please don't!! They take your money without hesitation and you won't hear anything back from them for months and phone calls and email's will go unanswered. We lost my baby niece forever and Mr .Straile did nothing for us in court but stutter as if he was terrified.There were monies spent with no invoices provided because we are charged for services not rendered. This has been the worst experience of our lives and there is not a care in the world for you or family from this attorney. It's truly a heartbreaking situation when they are supposed to be your attorney but act as if they are against you and want nothing but money.I would surely give 0 stars if I could.

I hired Ms. Talley for a divorce case. She seemed very friendly and nice. Turned out that once I hired her, I could never reach her until court dates and at the last minute. She never returns calls and could not answer simple legal questions. she did not take much time at all on my case.
I really felt alone and basically as if I paid her for me to represent myself.
I don't have much experience with hiring an attorney but based on my experience with Ms. Talley, If I were you. I would not waste my money. She does not care, you are nothing but a paycheck and that is how I felt.
The only reason I did not fire her is because I had put too much money into my case.
When my divorce ruling was final, she was supposed to go over legal paperwork that needed to be filed, I heard from her once to say that she would and needless to say she never did.
I sure should of held on to my money.

Attorney Talley is strongly poised, extremely well studied and calm in her demeanor. She listened and analyzed and came up with a plan that was best for our family. She maintained control with kindness and respect for all. We can't thank her enough. We feel better having her represent our family.

Mrs. Talley's services are professional and her overall performance is structured. She is organized with her documentation and her use of technology made communication effective and easy.

The receptionist is extremely rude. I called to inquire about assistance with the issue I’m having with my leasing office and she immediately made assumptions about my income based on the sound of my voice. She was not helpful in any way and made me feel like I was not good enough to be a client of this office.

Working with this lawyer was one of the worst experiences in my life. I hired a lawyer, my ex didn't, but yet he was able to keep all the marital assets. She didn't fight for me. She is not responsible or responsive. I had so many issues during my divorce. She failed to file paperwork until I said something. I always seemed to be losing my mind with her. She never kept me up to date with proceedings and what happened next. I would have to ask the morning of court for the information to access the zoom meeting when she had the information for weeks. Then when I would get upset about her work ethic, she would gaslight me and make excuses for her behavior rather than correcting or even apologizing. We discussed things, in emails, that she was supposed to take out of the final decree. She failed to do so and refused to correct her behavior. I will never recommend her to anyone.

In May of 2021 I had a same day consultation with Monica over the phone. She offered sound legal advice and moved quickly with time sensitive actions the following day. She’s been the most communicative attorney I’ve hired (and unfortunately that list isn’t short). She has a gift for being both empathetic and knowledgeable in family law matters. When decisions are being made about your own life and the lives of your children, these traits matter deeply. I’m truly grateful for her expertise and ability to support my family during a deeply difficult season.

I was involved in a very serious car crash where the guy smashed into the back of my car while I was sitting at a red light. Thankfully I was buckled but I was still severely injured and I ended up having to go to The ER and later on to physical therapy Sessions and then I had a microdiscectomy to fix the disc in my neck. From the very beginning Ms. Rush and her assistant, Angie, helped me with all of my bills and expenses. Ms. Rush told me my job was to get better and she’d take care of all of the legal matters surrounding my crash and that’s exactly what she did. I received a very large settlement and I am beginning to feel almost completely perfect again. My husband and I are VERY thankful for Ms. Rush and the Rush law firm and I highly recommend them!

Marian Rush is the most difficult attorney I have ever encountered. She is incredibly condescending, does not keep you updated or informed, and works closely with horrible doctors. I never thought an attorney would ever treat me the way she did. I would recommend absolutely anyone over this awful lady. She is incredibly rude and will make you feel stupid every time you talk to her. She did not make me feel like I was in good hands. Please, go to anyone besides her.

Delivered food there and didn't get tipped. If an attorney can't afford to tip someone, then they probably care more about money than people.

Maritza Arroyo did NOT advocate for me at all during my divorce. Just fell to her knees in front of my ex-husbands divorce attorney, Cynthia Swanson. It was unbelievable. It was like she was a groupie of hers; in awe of her ball-buster reputation.
I had a solid case of an ex husband who was/is a DANGER to my 3 year old's welfare due to documented drug abuse, but she convinced me to mediate and accept my ex-husbands proposals. Terrified me with the prospect of going to trial since I had no financial resources and he had all the money. It was unbelievably unethical. Rude paralegal as well (Kayla). They both made me feel like I was always bothering them when I contacted them. Wish I had trusted my gut and went with another attorney

Ms. Arroyo is an outstanding attorney. I have used her on more than one occasion for various legal issues and have been very pleased each time. If at any time in the future I need legal advise, I will turn to Ms. Arroyo. I have complete trust in her knowledge of law and recommend her to others all the time. If you need an attorney that knows law, that can be trusted and will keep you up to date on your case, Ms. Arroyo is the person to help you. Not only is she an amazing attorney, her staff is very knowledgeable and helpful too.

I consulted with Jennifer on my civil rights case against a city and police department. Her first question, "does your case involve excessive force?" My response was "any force used in an unlawful arrest is excessive!" Her tone quickly changes when she learns my case is not a multi-million dollar police brutality case. It is an open an shut case of police barging into my home and arresting me without warrant or probable cause. After three months of review and numerous emails and calls, sheand her colleagues at Maddux decide not to take my case because, "the value is likely minimal compared to the cost of litigation." Please read the firm's advertisements about pro bono work they've done and the caring and healing of the client. I spent 7 days in jail. I lost my job and can't get rehired because of a false felony arrest record.
She also opines that my case won't overcome qualified immunity. I've done the research and given her the clearly established cases that overcame immunity. She just won't listen.
It's all about the money and money only. Take your case to a better firm than this one.

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.
