Eric is a great Attorney and he has represented me in a couple of cases in the last 2 years. Needless to say, he won both of them! Eric is not only a knowledgeable and dedicated Attorney, but he is also a super nice person, which is not a common thing in the Attorney world! I highly recommend his services and I am glad to have found him when I needed help.

Eric Espey is an excellent attorny. He went above and beyond in assisting with my divorce. He is very thorough as well as very honest. He will do whatever he can to the best of his ability to make a terrible situation result in the best possible outcome. He shows interest in the wellbeing of his clients. I highly recommend Eric and although he was awesome, I hope I never have to hire him again..but if need be, he would be my #1 choice.

Do not recommend this office if you're a minority. No you did not represent me, but telling me to move from my home was not necessary especially after i told you we are the only Latino family in the neighborhood. Please do not contact me again. Remove the private information disclosed in the phone conversation.
Information shared by a prospective client during an intake process is generally considered privileged information with the lawyer, meaning it is confidential and cannot be disclosed unless there is a legal exception, as long as the communication is intended to seek legal advice and is made with the reasonable belief that it will be kept confidential; even if the prospective client does not ultimately hire the lawyer.
As stated in the second sentence, you have never represented my family, yet the 10 minute and 34 second conversation should have remain confidential, all of it. In the previous post, you wrote detailed information about my family's situation and victim shamed me and still continue to victim shame me in this current post with a God Bless at the end. We have worked hard to purchase our home and to simply get up and leave is not easy. An apology that it was never the intent of this office to victim shame me in the post and make the statement of "moving would a better solution" is what Christian would do.

Beware of this attorney he might be good for some, but he’s definitely bad for a whole lot. I’ve been calling this man for six months. He’s so damn busy. He cannot return a phone call when I do get a return call. It’s a letter stating that he does not wanna handle my case anymore for action about my case.

I was very disappointed with the outcome and felt Mr. Snider didn't present my case to the Judge accurately and was presented without conviction. In my opinion he appeared ill prepared in court and in the end he couldn't even recover his legal fees on my behalf resulting in my having to pay his firm roughly $3200. I'll never use his firm again.

I had the absolute worst experience with David Waldrop as my divorce attorney. IF YOU ARE A WOMAN GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY. He charged me over $6,000 only to get me and my 11-year-old son kicked out of our house just three weeks before the end of the school year.
First off, it took him forever to file anything, just like another review stated. When he finally did, my mom drove nine hours to come with me to court, and David called me 20 minutes before the hearing to say the courts messed up and didn’t put us on the docket. I later found out from my husband that David had actually forgotten to file anything. To make matters worse, he then charged me an additional fee to refile what he had messed up and failed to file in the first place. Meanwhile, my husband was torturing me and my son by stealing his game system, my cell phone, and locking us out of the house. David charged me for every single text and call, accomplishing absolutely nothing but getting everything taken from us.
I had to fight for my husband to even let me and my son take our personal items. Free legal services reviewed everything and confirmed that I was screwed over big time. I had to quit my job and move to another state because David told me that, due to proof of my husband’s physical abuse, Judge Lundy in DeSoto County said we couldn’t stay in the same home. David told me that Judge Lundy said whoever filed for divorce was the person he was forcing to leave the marital residence. Since I was the one who was abused, I was the one who filed. I told David that didn’t make any sense—why would the judge put me and my minor child, who has no family here and catches the bus at the house, out all because I was abused and filed for divorce? He basically told me he didn’t know, the judge was crazy, and that if I didn’t agree to sign the paper, the judge would force me out and it would be more humiliating and affect future cases. David, who was friends with my husband’s attorney, pressured me into signing an agreement giving my husband the home, leaving my son and me homeless.
The first document David gave me said no one was allowed to move into the home, but the second document had that part removed. When I asked about it, he dismissed my concerns and told me to sign it. Now, my husband’s new girlfriend is living in my house.
David Waldrop does not care about women, especially single moms. I don’t believe the judge even said what David claimed; I think he colluded with his attorney buddy to get me out of the house. I filed for exclusive use of the home, and hiring David ruined my life. When I told him it seemed like he was working for my husband, he dropped me as a client. I still owe him $2,700, and despite begging to make payments, he sent me a demand letter to pay within five days or face court.
My first divorce attorney, George in Southaven, was great and got me everything I asked for for $1,000. David Waldrop, however, has no soul and will drain you of every dollar while helping your husband. I am 38 and have never left a review before, but this experience was so horrific that I had to warn others. Avoid this attorney at all costs.
PLEASE NOTICE DAVID’s response to the last single mom’s post in the picture below at the bottom. He called up one of his male clients to give him a fake review in exchange for money off his bill.

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.
