Would highly recommend Steve Florek. I worked with Steve while purchasing my first home and he was a pleasure to work with. He kept me at ease through the entire process, knowing I had a true professional guiding me and advocating for me.

I recently just bought my first home, I use this firm through my whole process. Lynn and her staff were amazing! They were very patient, kind and very thorough with explaining everything. As everyone knows, purchasing a home, can be very stressful And sometimes Hard to comprehend all the logistics. They all at one point, or another have talked me Off the ledge. Working with Lynn and her staff Made you feel comfortable, and as if you knew them for a long time. I can’t think them enough. They helped make this process a little bit easier. I will refer them to anyone, and use them again. Highly recommend them!

I initially found Andrew Sack and his father Steven through a referral from a friend. They were a great team who provided me with excellent and thorough advice regarding my job elimination. There is a standard consultation fee, which should be expected when working with professionals. Once a retainer had been signed, we set reasonable expectations and they kept me in the loop with regular updates throughout the negotiation process. Andrew was able to up the offer on my separation agreement after negotiating with my former employer. I certainly would work with Andrew again and would gladly recommend him to others seeking an employment lawyer in any professional capacity.

A Strong Recommendation for Christina T. Hall & Associates. I recommend attorney Christina T. Hall with the highest confidence—she is nothing short of exceptional, and her team is unmatched. I was referred to Ms. Hall by individuals I deeply respect, and I’m truly grateful for that recommendation. When you need an attorney who is grounded, focused on the big picture, and able to anticipate issues you may not have even considered, Ms. Hall is the one for you. She reassured me from the start that she was prepared and capable, and her words were swiftly validated by her actions, including timely responses and thorough follow-up. Ms. Hall is attentive, informative, knowledgeable, incredibly focused, and always direct. Her team is equally impressive. I would like to specifically acknowledge Crystal, who is truly dedicated and a pleasure to work with. But it’s not just Crystal; the entire team at Hall & Associates is outstanding. If you’re reading this review because you’re searching for an attorney, stop looking and reach out to Ms. Hall and her team. The sooner you begin the process, the sooner you’ll experience the peace of mind and resolution you need and deserve. A great attorney will immediately provide comfort, knowing you’re one step closer to the outcome you’ve been seeking. Wishing you all the best in your journey to peace—if you’re reading this, I’m sure you need it. You’re welcome. With much appreciation J. Law-

Working with Andrew was an absolute relief during a tough time. He was quick to resolve my situation and even got me a better deal than I thought possible. What stood out most was his empathy and patience—he truly listened to my concerns and made me feel supported every step of the way. On top of that, he was incredibly efficient, keeping everything on track without adding any stress. I couldn’t recommend him more!

If you’re in the film industry or considering an investment, heed this warning: Fred Goodman of Marin Goodman, from my experience, is not the ally he claims to be. I was referred to Fred by a trusted friend, who assured me that he was a stand-up professional. What a colossal mistake that turned out to be. Fred promised he would "represent and protect" both sides in a deal, but in reality, he only looked out for his so-called "best friend" and longtime client, Eric Gitter. I was misled into signing a contract that was nothing short of disastrous for my career. Fred’s interests were clearly never aligned with mine, and now I am left facing federal litigation with no end in sight, not to mention a painful loss of my business partner’s hard-earned funds. From my experience, Fred Goodman’s assurances were empty, and his advice came at a heavy cost. If you value your time, money, and career, I'd suggest considering some other firm than Marin Goodman. Don’t fall into the same trap—reach out to me, and I’ll gladly share the details and documentation to help you avoid a similar fate.

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:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. 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.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
