STAY AWAY FROM ANY FIRM THAT EMPLOYS KELLY KILROY! She knew she was going to be disbarred and still took our case. We lost huge amount of money because of missed opportunities. She was too focused on saving herself. She would have lost malpractice lawsuit but "had no assets." (This is our opinion based on the facts we experienced).

I recently had the pleasure of working with Thomas Maronick, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. He helped reduce my points and fines significantly, far beyond what I expected. From the start, he was approachable, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. What impressed me most was his ability to simplify the legal process, making everything easy to understand. His communication throughout was excellent, and I always felt like I was in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and gets results, Thomas Maronick is the attorney you want on your side. Highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-tier lawyer!

I consulted with this attorney, and although I don't think I am the right fit as a client of their firm, I do think I would've came out on top with this gentleman in my corner. We talked for a little over 34 minutes and in that time he shared valuable knowledge about how we could go about this, what the possible outcomes could be, what to expect price wise, and even strategy wise in regards to meeting with his team. He also seemed very upbeat and on the ball with getting all of the relevant information and determining how to utilize it in the most effective ways. I thank you for your time and the service you are providing to our community. He also talked about how their firm is asked by the Bar association to donate and how they attend some government officials yearly parties and such, meaning they are also well connected with these people and work with them regularly. The only reason I couldn't go with this guy (although I wanted to) was the price - and I'm not saying him and his firm aren't worth it, I truly believe they are, but as a ~21 year old (staying vague for privacy) saving up for a car the price he told me was 1/4 of what I received from insurance for my totaled vehicle, and I just couldn't at this time justify that purchase in my head when I am needing other, tangible assets at this time. I was frank with him and more or less told him this, and he tried to assure me it was worth it to not risk losing my freedoms or having this backfire, which I don't disagree with, but again, I can't justify that spending on a single day in court for something I didn't even do... Thanks again to Thomas for teaching out, not only once, but twice after I missed his call and couldn't catch him when I returned it. Maybe someday in the future when I am more financially stable I will utilize your services to the fullest!

Mr. Ott and Mr. O'Neill are without a doubt amazing, compassionate, caring Attorney's. They are on top of everything, professional, they listen, they get results and are very respected in the Court System. We had complicated situation and they got the results we were hoping for. I can't say enough about them, we were over impressed! This isn't the first time we have hired them, hopefully we won't need him again, but without a doubt they would be our first choice!

Mr. Mohink is very passionate and serious about his work. He is always on time for hearings and trials. He promptly shares any documents with me so that I am completely up to date on the case. He answered all my concerns in a timely manner so I was never left in the dark. It was an extremely difficult case, and reunification with my son initially seemed hopeless. However with his support and actions, not only did reunification happen after a year, but the whole case ended shortly after. I would recommend Mr. Mohink to anyone who needs a reliable and professional attorney.

My husband was confident in your professional abilities just after meeting for the first time. I can’t begin to express the gratitude and appreciation for representing a challenging case with: poise, expert knowledge, kindness, keeping everyone well informed, and bringing a smile during a seemly dark time. Todd is the total package.
Thank you.

These Five Stars are the symbolic representation of Todd guiding you through the darkest days of your life.
I hired Todd a year ago. After a difficult year fighting to gain hours, Todd was a rockstar in the court room and gained days of parenting time.
I am highly grateful and could not possibly recommend Todd’ office more.

From the moment I met Mr. Steinhardt and his partner Mr. Lieberman I felt confident that they would be able to assist me.
After years of working and being productive, I suddenly found myself unable to work and disabled after a car accident. My security was threatened and I was uncertain of my future.
Thanks to Mr. Steinhardt and Mr. Liberman and thier staff I won my case and have begun the process of putting my life back together.
Throughout this long and arduous process my attorneys were there for me. They took my calls, answered my questions, listened to my concerns, gave me support and guided me.
Though my life is different now I am grateful that they were able to win my case.
I am so pleased that I was able to retain this law firm and that I especially had the opportunity to work with Mr. Liberman. He went above and beyond, often took time to respond to my calls; even at the end of the day on Friday afternoons.
Thank you Mr. Steinhardt and staff.

Christopher Brown was excellent! I got hurt at work & could barely get H.R. to return my calls. After he took my case, they called immediately! He handled everything & made sure I got what I was owed. He & his staff kept me up to date on my case & always returned my calls asap. He helped my son & a friend and they both were pleased.

I have nothing but praises for Attorney Joseph LaMore. After a few consultations with other attorneys, I knew I didn’t need to search any further after meeting with Mr. LaMore. I was impressed with the research he had done on the case prior to our meeting. Mr. LaMore’s investigation of the facts in the case was extremely thorough. He viewed over 20 hours of videos and honed in on inconsistencies in the statements of witnesses. Mr. LaMore’s preparedness for trial was impressive. He was tenacious in his negotiation. As a result, he achieved a very favorable outcome. I would highly recommend Joseph LaMore as an attorney.

Mr. LaMore is a fantastic lawyer. He is responsive, well-versed, and from the start was committed to achieving the best possible resolution to my case. Walked me through what would happen, what he would do, what I needed to do, what would happen if I didn't do what I needed to do--he is someone you want in your corner. When I called, I'd be patched through to him immediately. If he wasn't there, I'd hear from him ASAP. All charges ended up getting dropped. Go Joe!!!

Mr. Joseph LaMore was very professional and patient during my divorce process. He returned my phone calls and emails immediately. Just one example of his ability to get the truth out of someone, he will ask a question in a different way until he hears what the response should be. After I went in for the initial interview with him, my thought was "I would not want to be the one on the other end of his questioning, I want him on my side". He did a great job for me. The office, him, and staff were all neat, clean, organized, and very professional. I have been in sales the largest part of my live and have always thought the best compliment someone can pay me is they refer their family to me. Without a doubt, I would refer my children, family, and friends to him for any legal issues they could have.

I have had Susan for many years in my child custody case and she is an amazing person and great attorney who will fight for you tooth and nail. She is an amazing attorney and anyone would be lucky to have her. She's a little hard headed but that's just get charm and a great asset in the court room. She made a much more high dollar attorney retreat in the heat of battle and ran over another attorney who was an idiot. Thank you Susan So much! !!!

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.
