I really didn't want to get a lawyer after I had my wreck, but I was getting so many calls and felt pressured. Once I met with Mr. Ferguson and his assistant, I felt so much better. I'm so glad that I hired them. It took awhile to get my money, but the waiting paid off - I got a much better deal than I expected!

I can't express enough how helpful Travis was. I had received a traffic ticket just before Christmas, a lack of attention on my part for the infraction. After being referred to & contacting Travis, he was confident he could help with the issue. He handled everything, which was a much appreciated service. Anytime during the process, if we had any questions, he responded in a very timely fashion. His office was very helpful as well. Hopefully, my family won't need the services again, but WITHOUT hesitation I would recommend & use Travis again.

Mr. Low communicated with me on a level that was easy for me to comprehend. I am not familiar with tenant law, but he made me aware of my rights and helped me figure out the steps I needed to take to protect them. He walked me through step by step- something any attorney I have ever hired has NEVER done for me.

Don't ever use Travis G. Page for you're attorney in Gastonia NC... He will take all of you're money and run with it... He took on our families case who was deceased and they sold the land for 14,900$ and we didn't see a dime of it... This man promised my grandmother that they weren't bad people and they we're here to help but that's not true... If you go to anyone I wouldn't recommend going here that's for sure!!!

Mrs. Flowers did not return phone calls. She did not provide statements of her activities or Financial balance. I contracted with her for 10 months. In that time she only once provided me with a update on my case and this did not include financials.
Once I became frustrated with her lack of response I requested to end our attorney client relationship. At that point she said I owed her an additional $2000 for services already rendered. She never went to court on my behalf, she never registered as my attorney, she never spoke to opposing counsel.

Mrs. Bash-Flowers provided great advice to my family regarding a matter to be potentially litigated in NC. We live outside NC and had no idea what was expected of us or how we were to proceed. Mrs. Bash-Flowers was kind, friendly, patient and courteous. Though she was unable to take our case, she adequately advised us and graciously referred us to a colleague. She did not exhibit the stiff, haughty attitude of some of the other attorneys that we contacted. I am retired, but if I lived in NC I would offer to volunteer in her office. I like her style. As my father would say, "She is good people."

Verna Bash-Flowers handled my bankruptcy 2 years ago. She walked me through the process, kept me informed, and made sure everything was processed exactly the way it needed to be. A bankruptcy is a very stressful experience for anyone, but she made it as painless as she could and ensured my interests were protected. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services!

David Smith represented my father, in a family estate matter, in the early 1990's. Yet, when recently attempting to obtain service again, he did not honor the standard ethical approach “conflict of interest” when accepting my opponent’s case over mine. Why David?!?! So, why did you sell out ethics like almost all other professional attorneys (who do not handle conflicts of interest)? We had you at an early career stage. Some may even claim unknown. Did you forget where you came from David?!?! William Sain, a generic lawyer that couldn't negotiate out of a wet paper bag. Sain is a disgrace to the rule of law. He's a total embarrassment and is facing NC Bar complaint(s).

My father died in October. They have yet to settle the estate. Apparently, when they elected, my sister be executor. They can’t do anything with her, so I don’t know what to tell you . Sandra tried to help me in every way she can, but there’s only so much you can do with a bad executor. Let my brother move into the house and he doesn’t have the money to pay for it. I’m elderly and this has been a lot of stress.

Larry Hoyle established our estate and on my husband’s death displayed the highest level of expertise in resolving the complex international tax issues that ensued, until the estate was finally disbanded. I highly recommend his level of professional knowledge and wise guidance.

I had a workers comp case against my employer. I had been denied workers comp as well as any assistance from my employer for an injury sustained in the line of duty. Unable to work, and not receiving compensation from my employer, I was in danger of losing my home. I asked several different people for an attorney recommendation. Everyone I talked to said go see Scott Roberts.
I was easily able to get an appointment with him within a day or so. We discussed my case, and Mr. Roberts said, you have been wronged by your employer, and I will do everything within law to make it right. I left feeling better about the situation. Scott immediately began filling motions on my behalf, things I couldn't get done were being accomplished by Scott Roberts. Scott made sure all medical bills, prescriptions, and Dr. co-pays were paid in full by workers compensation. Scott fought to get the settlement that I wanted, and I didn't have to settle for anything less. Scott was easy to reach, returned my calls, and had his paralegal keep me updated with every motion filed and every response. He mailed me copies of all paperwork for my records. I worked in Law-enforcement for 20+ years. I have recommended NUMEROUS people to Scott, and he has successfully settled their cases as well. Don't be fooled by the constant repetitive commercials you see on TV about the "big box" personal injury lawyers. I recommend The Robert's Law Firm to anyone who wants justice and someone who will fight for them.

Scott has successfully handled not one, but 2 claims for me. I have been hit while in a company vehicle two different times by negligent drivers. Both times I had to have surgery due to the severity of the accidents. Scott got my medical bills paid for, my back pay paid, and worker's compensation checks coming. Both cases Scott has settled for me, and I am glad I went to him. Very good about answering questions/concerns, makes sure I'm aware of what was going on in both cases. Definitely recommend!!!!

Did not return phone calls. Did not keep me informed. Really disappointmented; even though Mr Roberts did not settle my case he put a lien on my case in case we do settle. Mr Roberts sent me an e-mail later to say, I fired him when I did not.

Whatever you do don't hire this man to plea your case in court !!!! My husband is a 100% service connected disabled Marine Corps Veteran,and Mr Garland did not present our case very well at all!! He got a good retainer fee , he didn't do a good job at all !!! He said we could appeal but his retainer fee would be considerably higher. He didn't present enough evidence or fight hard enough for us , he told us he would handle it. He told us to meet him @8:45 am to meet before court and we were on time and he showed up 4 minutes before time to go in the courtroom, he was unshaven,he kept popping his partial plate in an out of his mouth,he got up and walked out just before our case was called and the judge or us knew why he left. He needs to retire!!! He has no game anymore! Consumer Beware! Don't hire him if you want to win your case, because he doesn't know what the heck he is doing!!! Horrible experience! Plus he was having a one on one with the other party.

This guy literally didn't put the right name on the case for my apartment complex 4 times and everytime we went to court our case never even got heard and we got continued because it needed to be fixed, even after I provided him with the correct name. Got a video of his own assistant saying he’s not qualified for his job. He got angry and was unprofessional when I asked for refund and kicked me out off his office. Then tried to trespass me from ever coming there. I have all this on video. I also paid him completely what he asked to take the case and he kept emailing me for more money for working .01 hours. He emailed me receipts and it would have missing payments and I had to prove it wrong with receipts so don’t ever get this lawyer.

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.
