I went to Ms. Bowers because there was a client who refused to pay us on time. She took the information that we gave to her and she reviewed our contract and met back with me and told me what were entitled to. She then replied back to the client and the issue was settled. Ms. Bowers ability to relay to me and her knowledge of our companies operation made communication between us very clear and simple. She has the knowledge to ask questions simply and directly. We have had to use her on a few occasions we have learned to expect the best results. Her depth of knowledge and ability to communicate with us makes her a pleasure to work with.

Megan is not only a fabulous attorney, she actually cares about her clients. She is honest and will explain the law in a way you will understand. A lot of attorneys don't convey things to their clients and leave them in the dark, but Megan always goes above and beyond to make sure you get what you deserve and that you understand the process. She is the only one I recommend to anyone I know who has ever been injured at work or involved in a car accident.

Mr. Howell and his wonderful mother have assisted me multiple times. Not only was Randall capable of helping me with tickets that other lawyers completely turned away in fear….but he has done it multiple times over now. I am 26 with a lead foot (something I am able to work on, because of Randall’s ability to keep me driving). I have used his services since I was in my early 20s…and every friend I know will use his services from now on. His prices are fair, his work is unmatched, and his results give the all the proof. There isn’t a lawyer out there I’d trust more with saving my future than Mr. Howell.

Mr. Howell brung my son back home to me. He told me that he was going to try to get him back home to me, and he did just that. He kept me informed all the way, and returned all my phone calls. Even answered all my questions, as well as my concerns. He is a respectable person, believable person and a amazing lawyer. I highly recommend Randall Howell for your case. If you are looking for someone, that believes in his client. Mr. Howell is the one for you.

My clients are my neighbors, my friends and my people. I care about everyone I work with. I care about everyone that loves and cares about my clients. Even though thousands of clients I represent each year are happy, it bothers me when a few are not. I realize that regardless of my efforts and intent, you can't make everyone happy. However, as long as I practice law, I will strive to be the best person and the best attorney that I can be for anyone that seeks my assistance.
That is my truth and I care about all of my clients and their loved ones.

Jan Pritchett has been an amazing blessing in my life. I got into some pretty serious trouble and have had to spend some time digging myself out. He was referred to me by another lawyer, and gave me a great rate based on that referral, and has treated me like family ever since. When I got sober last year, he would check up on me to see how I was doing, invited me to play basketball with him at church, always asks how my mom is doing, etc. He's also very quick to respond to any random questions I ever have and is very patient with explanations and advice.
Oh, how did my court case go, you ask? Well, he basically got it dismissed. He knows all the judges and is friends with lots of people behind the scenes, and is a master of "judge shopping." He's got one more thing to represent me on, then I'm totally in the clear. I do not think another lawyer could have done it this well. He is a great lawyer and a great human being, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Jan!!

THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!!
Initially, I was advised by a bondsman, another court official to not get Jan Pritchett. Simply because they watch many of their clients who retained him get “washed up creek” by the system. Unfortunately, I put my trust in the advisement of his frat brother which I shouldn’t have but I ultimately paid for it.
Secondly, after retaining him he feed me nothing but lie after lie about my case and how things would turn out. Other lawyers I’ve consulted with agreed that my case shouldn’t have even been in superior court with me having no prior criminal record. Even Jan told me that, but his poor representation of my case allowed me to “slip thru the cracks”. Was cold for roughly three years
Thirdly, My case was tucked away for roughly THREE years. I still had to report every month for roll call, but he did nothing to push my case forward. In fact, it wasn’t until I started showing at the office continuously, verbal disputes with the lawyer as to “what the heck” are you doing with my case that he just went and had them throw my case in front of jury. 1-day notice to me that this was going to happen.
Lastly, this was the weakest representation in the courtroom ive ever seen. I pulled him aside a couple times and asked him to focus on the things he said he would- all the lies the prosecution used to get me there, but he didn’t and ultimately I lost that case. Under his complete advisement I lost. I will never employ this firm again, not even for the littlest of my offenses, nor will I allow anyone I know to do so. Had I listened to the bondsman in the beginning I feel I wouldn’t be in the predicament I’m in now, but I guess that’s not his job to care.

I live outside of NC and I was in a situation where I was being sued by someone from NC and needed to obtain a NC lawyer. I got extremely lucky by finding Grant Sigmon. He talked me through the suit, explained everything in a clear and concise manner and provided me a path that aligned with my own desires. He listened to my needs, heard me and acted accordingly. Best of all, he charged me a very reasonable rate and I always felt he had my best interests at heart. If you have law needs in NC, I would highly reccomend Sigmon Klein Bennington, PLLC. Great people!

Consumers beware.this guy charged me $700.00 per hour without telling me upfront which I found to be ridiculous for a business civil matter I am in the process of trying to recoup money that was taken from me when I questioned him about his rate he said that he didn’t give a damn what I thought hope this review changes his pocket and teaches him that you can’t get through life being dishonest with that being said RUN!!! Spoken with several attorneys and they said I shouldn’t have been charged no more than a thousand dollars this guy charged me almost 8,000.00 and did nothing but get a motion of default set aside with paper work that I provided Ray Charles could have seen that I was overcharged and he was blind

Words cannot express my gratitude for Rossabi Law PLLC, and Kate Stalker in particular. If you are a father fighting for your child, there's a good chance you are starting from a disadvantage and you need the best representation you can get. Fortunately, the best is not always the most expensive. Kate Stalker's fees were more than reasonable for her level of knowledge, professionalism, and the ferocity with which she fought for my relationship with my son. You cannot go wrong with Kate Stalker and Rossabi Law. Mrs. Stalker was an absolute gamechanger in my case and I HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you for your help Kate!

Not only would I recommend Jim, I have recommended Jim to various business associates! First and foremost, Jim Secor is interested in finding a solution to the issue at-hand; NOT padding his bill. While compromise is generally his first inclination, he has absolutely no trepidation about vigorously pursuing litigation if that is what the situation demands. I have worked with a great number of attorneys over the past 30+ years in business and Jim's skills are unparalleled.

Mr. Secor provided us with our best interest as a priority. Very straight forward in keeping us apprised of information as it became pertinent to our situation. He always moved in a foward progress and stayed true to the objection of the goals. His professionalism and diligence is exemplary of why he is considered of the best in his field if not the best. Finally, he was a Navy JAG and service to our beloved country is important to us.

I met Jim about 10 years ago when someone recommended him to me. From the start I liked the fact that Jim did not have an office filled with expensive trophy items, that says alot if you know what I mean. Nothing I can't stand more than "Super This" or "AV" that. As for Jim, he was straight forward and honest. He was to the point and realistic. And we prevailed in my case!
Over the years, I have used him again, recommended him to friends and family, and currently he is our lawyer in a civil case. Everyone that Ive referred him too has had nothing but good things to say about him. Ive come to learn Jim Secor is a well respected honest man, but mostly...Ive really come to like the person that he is.
Thank you Jim for all you've done for me and those ive referred to you! I hope you practice law in Guilford County for years to come! As far as lawyers go, you are truly one in a million.

Gary Sue was one of the most knowledgable, helpful and hands on attorney's I've ever dealt with. He took care of my car accident from start to finish without little or no hiccups. Without even dealing with the hassle of being in court litigating; Mr. Sue settled my claim out of court via mediation and we received a sum reward much higher than I expected. I'm not saying Gary Sue is unethical or cuts corners but he assured that I was taken care of. I commend him on the work he does within his profession and would recommend him to anyone within the legal system who is looking for results.

Gary is not only a great attorney but an even better person. He helped me with my case from start to finish and kept me updated with his progress along the way. He is great when conducting a deposition and even better in trial using his assertiveness with other members of the court, swaying jurors with his wit as well as charm and finally though he has lots of work and a large number of clients he treats every client just the same and is great at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and brilliant personal injury attorney who has a proven track record for winning. He got me a very large jury verdict award in my car accident law suit.

First of all I would like to say that all of the personnel at Lanier law group were very informative and kind. The only problem that I have from my car accident is ..I only received a little over 3, 000.00! Lanier law group received a little more than I did. Less than 100 more than I did.... but still. I definitely know I could have gotten a bigger check from Farm Bureau if I had not went with any lawyer. I don't feel like that my case was worked hard enough for me to end up getting such a low settlement with what I went through. You live and you learn. If I ever get in a car accident again... God forbid..... I will NOT hire a lawyer. It's not worth the time of waiting and all of the paperwork you have to go over and sign just to get some miscule 1/3 of what the opposite insurance company offers. Very disappointed

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.
