They handled the case pretty well, i just wish the communication was better. They are a busy office and i found myself having to call them back frequently. I also had to bring quite a bit of my own paperwork to their office. Those are the only struggles i witnessed. On the good side, the attitude was wonderful! The staff was very professional and friendly, and I loved that. Once I was able to reach them, they were always helpful and able to explain where my case was at. I loved that about this firm. I would definitely come back! I have had experiences with another personal injury law firm that i would never recommend, but i would definitely recommend Ben abbott.

I will admit that I had a few beers. I didn't know what to do but I spoke to my brother and he recommended this place. I spoke with Glen Wietzel . I really felt like he gave a crap so when he told me that I should fight it, I did. After a few months later, the prosecutors dropped the case and it was dismissed. I am no longer required to go to probation, to all stupid driver improvement classes, have a deep lung device, have 30 months of surcharges, and no community service. HELL YEAH!!!. So relieved. Give them a try. I'm glad I did.

Mr. Masek made the process so much easier. I had an attorney before him but I never knew what was going on with my case and I rarely received a call back. As soon as Mr. Masek took over I always knew what was going on. He responded to emails very quickly even if I had silly questions. He was easy to talk to and explained things where I understood. I would highly recommend him.

I wanted answers to my son's death and by the grace of God I was led to Grady Chandler. Grady Chandler left no stone unturned and even hired on attorney- Marquette Wolf and together they uncovered the true reason why my son died.
CHANDLER AND WOLF FOUND OUT
E- V- E- R- Y- T- H- I- N- G !!!
Every detail. Every lie. Every cover up. EVERYTHING.
Grady Chandler and Marquette Wolf treated my case as if it were their own son whose life was taken, and fought with the determination, dedication, and ferocity that only family members would. These two seasoned attorneys handled my son’s wrongful death case with precision, accuracy, and honesty. I am proud to recommend these attorneys for all whom are suffering the wrongful death of a loved one.

I brought a breach of contract lawsuit to Ray in which I was the defendant. This was a complicated case which involved a fraudulent SEC regulated security and a settlement agreement obtained through duress and fraud that I was forced to sign.
After being forced to sign the settlement agreement or lose my retirement savings over a fraudulent securities deal, I wanted to inform the authorities about the brokers, who were the sellers of the securities. So I went to FINRA the SRO who regulates the brokers. I explained what had happened. They suggested I try and workout a solution with the brokers before taking any action with them.
The sponsor of the deal, the one who had forced me and my fellow investors into signing settlement agreement sued me when he got wind about what I was up to. (the broker contacted them) I had to explain to Ray how the agreement was being used to cover up several crimes. Those of fraudulent securities sales , theft of fiduciary property, elder abuse , conspiracy between attorneys, the bank, the brokers and the sponsor.
Ray quickly figured out what was going on. After that point he use all his skills and knowledge to figure out ways to turn the case around and put the plaintiff on the defensive. The Plaintiff had the judge in their pocket as the plaintiff's firm was a big powerful political contributor. The judge gave the plaintiff every break at every turn. We lost three MSJ's and the judge was hostile to my attorney. The judge refused to allow us to make a record until we finally got in front of the jury at trial.
Long story short. We took the case to trial and the 12 member jury found by unanimous decision that the plaintiff had not been damage by my breach and the judge was forced to render a decision that I could report the crimes to the authorities.
The plaintiff was forced to pay all my legal bills and his own totaling nearly $400,000 in legal fees and expenses because Ray had tendered a certified offer to settle early on in the lawsuit.
Ray knows his stuff, he is a fighter and seasoned trial lawyer and I would recommend him in a heart beat to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable in SEC securities litigation and contract law.
At the end of the day Ray was able to put the plaintiff in a worse position then before he had filed his lawsuit against me. Now the plaintiff will have to wonder who's going to be knocking on his door next....could it be the SEC or maybe a DA or the FBI.

Mr. Hall Represented me in a DUI case. It was a difficult time for my family due to the circumstances. Mr. Hall was in my corner all the way and knew it was going to work out. He found angles that were amazing to clear my case with extreme integrity. That means a lot to me in a world where it is much needed. Mr. Hall always carried himself professionally and responded to my needs with confidence. My case was dismissed and do not know if yours will be but can tell you this "Mr Hall will give you the best chance in fairness and integrity to fight for you". It made a world of difference in mine, after it all was said and done am very thankful for the blessings that where in play. Mr. Hall comes highly recommended as someone who will fight for you and bring about a positive outcome under the circumstance. It would be an Honor to see Mr. Hall progress to a Judge or Higher Government Official.

Lied to me about filing a law suit. Told me nobody sues for medical malpractice anymore because of tort reform causing me to miss the statue of limitations. But now all of the sudden he becomes a medical malpractice expert. He charged me 4 times to obtain one set of medical records. Tried to be paid a second time for expenses he had already been paid for. He sent unrelated bills to the insurance as part of the claim. I didn't expect him to make everything better but I didn't expect to make everything worse. He shouldn't be allowed to practice law. It's shameful what he's has done.

When I had a surgery go horribly wrong I had no idea how to find a good lawyer. After speaking with probably 10 different lawyers I settled on Hutton Sentell because he seemed to be very knowledgeable of my condition and he always called me back. I actually had several conversations with him before I had made up my mind to actually hire him. Not have ever gone through a lawsuit I had no idea what to expect but Hutton and his team was sure to take the time to sit with me and tell me exactly what was going to happen and approximte time frames. I always had my questions answered and my phone calls returned the same day. During my malpractice proceedings my 17 year old son was visiting family out of the state and was in a horrible car accident. He was a passenger. At first I contacted an out of state attorney because I thought that's what I had to do. It only took 2 phone calls with this other attorney to realize he was not going to take care of my sons needs. I called Hutton and explained the situation to him and he then became my sons attorney as well. My sons case was settled quite quickly and he got a very nice settlement. My case did eventually settle as well and I must say I am happy with the results. So when my sister was rear ended a couple months ago and was getting nowhere with the insurance company I told her she must call Hutton. After working with Hutton for approximately 3 years [medical malpractice takes a long time] I felt like we were family. Even after my case settled I still get the occasional email just to see how things are going. And if I ever have to use an attorney again it will definately be Hutton Sentell.

I was injured in 2013 when another car rear-ended me. My claim became difficult when I was in another accident just a month later. Most other firms would have quit, but they fought on my case and got it resolved. He got me the most money possible for my claim. I highly recommend him and his firm.

I had an auto accident in June 14, I found an attorney and eventually ended up being dropped from them however they turned my case over to Ben Abbot per the information was received when the rep came out to my office. Well time when on and I hadn't heard a thing so I called, about a month later. and was told Ben Abbott was not my attorney but it was Paul Wingo, but I was also told that it would take about years to settle my case. Well I decided to go a different route so I was told that I could write a letter terminating my service so I did. So this company had my case for maybe a month and half and that's generous. I received a letter about a month after I terminated the firm that they were retaining an interest in my case. But Why? You guys wouldn't even call me, not once. You did no work. Now I've been calling Mr. Wingo for about weeks now, and keep getting the runaround as I would like an explanation. Each time they are going to have him to call me back. What a joke!!

If I could give no stars I would, that is how terrible these attorneys are. Very dishonest, crooked and when they get caught, DENY. The way they speak to clients is unacceptable. To not negotiate all medical bills unethical and unprofessional, then to leave you holding the bag on them, just plain wrong. Most people only care about getting money, this was not my concern, my concern was medical bills being covered. I was told from the beginning we will take care of you, big lie all they care about is lining their pockets.

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.
