I had an incredible experience with Trantolo & Trantolo. From the very beginning, their team was professional, compassionate, and dedicated to my case. They kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I felt supported throughout the entire process. Attorney Angela and their team fought hard to get me the compensation I deserved, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their hard work.

Blake Driscolli and his team patiently guided me through every step and ensured I would receive the compensation I deserved for my injuries.I was particularly impressed with Brandee MacKenzie ability to clearly explain complex legal concepts,which gave me confidence throughout the case.

Pat, a remarkable lawyer, has been instrumental in helping me rectify my life and regain control. Initially facing 37 felony charges, he successfully negotiated a 2-year probation. Without his intervention, I wouldn’t be here today. Pat’s strategic thinking and extensive knowledge are evident in hisability to devise a comprehensive plan to guide individuals stuck in a rut, providing them with the necessary tools to reclaim their lives. I am eternally grateful for his unwavering dedication and the invaluable lessons I’ve gained since entrusting him with my legal matters.

From the moment we left Pat’s office after our consultation we knew he would be the best representation for our son. Pat is a very knowledgeable, empathetic and down to earth person. Throughout the whole process he was always available no matter what time it was, even on weekends. Pat would also callme and my son just to check in and see how he was doing. Without Pat I don’t know if we would have had the same outcome. After this I consider Pat a dear friend to our family. I highly recommend Patrick Tomasiewicz for your Attorney without hesitation!

Attorney Patrick Tomasiewicz is a rare combination of intelligence, deep experience, empathy, humility, and most importantly, high integrity. I consulted with his firm, Fazzano & Tomasiewicz on two legal matters over the past year and he handled them both effectively and efficiently. Attorney Tomasiewicz exudes trustworthiness and confidence, with not even the slightest hint of arrogance or impatience. He is a class act and I highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs an attorney that is truly on their side.

After an automobile accident I asked an attorney friend if he could recommend an attorney with this particular specialty. John Houlihan worked very hard to get me more fairly compensated over-and-above what auto insurance was willing to pay. He and his associates were always kind, honest with me and concise in their communications. I hope I never need them again but if I do, they will be my first choice.

I met Paul Iannaccone in 2022 after I was in a car accident. My case was difficult, not a slam dunk. Paul told me this process will take time and to stay cool. During the 2 years Paul and his team kept me well informed of the progress and the status of the case. Due to Paul's hard work the case was brought to a very favorable outcome. RisCassi & Davis is a very professional outfit- a class act. Over the two years I worked with Paul I developed a kinship with him rather than just an attorney-client relationship. I found Paul to be intelligent, determined and most importantly ethical, a true professional. I highly recommend Paul Iannaccone and RisCassi & Davis

I worked with Attorney Phyllis MacCutcheon during one of the most challenging periods of my life—a high-conflict divorce. From the outset, she exhibited exceptional professionalism and strategic expertise, skillfully navigating the complexities of my case with clarity and confidence while ensuring I was fully informed at every step of the process. Her office administrator, Briana, was equally remarkable—organized, responsive, and always willing to go above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly. Their collaboration provided a seamless and reassuring experience during a very difficult time. Thanks to Attorney Phyllis’s expert guidance and Briana’s steadfast support, I achieved many critical outcomes that safeguarded my rights as a father and allowed me to move forward with stability, confidence, and dignity for both myself and my children.

My current attorney is Jenna Hyler. She's extremely competent of family law and very responsive. She will let you know what will fly in court and what won't. You won't be left out in the dark about what's going on in your case if you retain her services. She's currently helping me try to gain custody of my daughter and I feel a lot better having her on my side. I would highly recommend her if you're a father in a custody/divorce case and want an attorney who cares and who is straight-forward and honest with you. She discloses information that the average person would not think of, nor are they aware of. Highly recommended!

I have worked with Paul Levin’s office on numerous occasions for litigation purposes. I retained Paul’s firm to work on several workers compensation claims and personal injury claims resulting from an at fault driver’s negligence. Paul and his staff assisted me in every step of the way from the day of a major motor vehicle accident, through the multiple surgeries, into therapy and post therapy. Paul and his staff are extremely compassionate, patient, and understanding with each case they work. I have known Paul and his legal team for well over 15 years now and continue to use his legal knowledge, expertise and understanding of complex personal injury law. Paul is committed to excellence and dedication to his clients by building rapport with outstanding professionalism. I have personally referred numerous clients to his firm that emboldens his ability to fight strong and achieve great monetary gains and seek justice. His dedication to the pursuit of justice and negotiating skills is evident by the way he carries himself as an attorney and as an individual. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a fair, honest and straightforward attorney who goes after companies and individuals regardless of the roadblocks that are put in the way. Paul and his team do not let outside noise taint their ability to achieve greatness in litigation and settlement. If you are looking for muscle, walls of law, and perseverance look no further than the Law offices of Paul Levin.

Hello, My name is Frank I felt it important to take a minute to provide some feedback regarding my experience with the Rojas Lawfirm. First about Attorney Rojas, Jose is a extremely compitent and accomplished attorney his knowledge of the law and the way the system works is brilliant. Jose intrenches himself in your case never making mention of the ammount of time and research he puts into the matter. Attorney Rojas is a compassionate person in his approach to the client but also is extremely honest and forthcoming when it comes to what your expectations of a case should be. in my experience he was extremely prompt, responsive, and professional. The results I recieved were beyond my expectations and I credit Jose's patience, research, and knowledge of the law for much of that. Too many times in today's world you pay for services only to be dissapointed in what you get in return, not with this man!! I am happy to say this was one of the better choices I have made when seeking professional legal services and would highly reccomend his firm. Sincerely, Frank

I had a wonderful experience working with Scott Carlson, or as I know him, Scott. From day one he knew exactly the in's and the out's of everything that pertained to my case. I was thoroughly impressed with the knowledge he had of law and he was very professional. My case went on for a long time, not due to Scott, but due to the insurance company he was dealing with. Even though sometimes it felt like I would never get any resolution, Scott always made me feel assured, like he knew just what to do. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the hard work that went into my case. I was more than happy with the outcome of everything. I couldn't have done it without an experienced and skilled lawyer on my side. I was time and time again amazed at how well he knew the "tricks" the insurance company were trying to do. When it comes to an injury that isn't your fault, it can seem like a helpless situation regarding the insurance companies. Scott has the experience and knowledge to know exactly what to do when under pressure. I highly, highly reccomend working with Scott. He is not only very professional but very personable and friendly. I feel like he genuinely cared about helping me.

Mindless incompetence. At least in probate. Couldn't get forms filed despite multiple attempts and senseless excuses. Would go for months without hearing a thing from them and when I would call all I would hear was more senseless excuses and lies. As far as meeting Mr. Perkins I wouldn't know. I never spoke to him once. I used to try to sneak past the paralegals to get to the attorney but they always caught me. Probably have lots of practice. When I finally did get to ask her how this was so screwed up her reply was "it is what it is". It's for sure that in this law firm if something goes completely off the rails there's no one to get it back on. Hard to say how much time was lost trying to settle my case, probably a year at least. They don't even deserve the 1 star. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE.

After being bit in the mouth by a dog, I was referred to Michael Jainchill at RisCassi & Davis and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. If you are looking for a lawyer who is quick to respond to emails, keeps you posted on updates regarding to your case, and doesn’t beat around the bush, Michael is the Attourney for you! Michael is very personable and extremely easy to get along with. He truly treated me as if I had known him for years and I can’t emphasize enough how great he was to me. I would recommend him to anyone who has suffered a personal injury and wants to receive as much as possible for their pain, suffering, and injury. I will be sure to contact Michael Jainchill at RisCassi & Davis again if something were to ever happen to me or my family. If you look at his accomplishments, he is one of the most well respected lawyers in the area and has succeeded in many large settlements for many different personal injuries. Check him out and I am confident you will have a great experience also! I’ve dealt with several lawyers in the past and Michael is by far the best so far!

Having worked with Michael Jainchill on more than one occasion, we would recommend him without hesitation. Michael will call to see how you are doing, his concern for his client's well-being is genuine. He takes time to listen and does not rush you to make a decision. You have to be satisfied with the outcome of your case. There are no "office hours" with Michael, he always responds to emails & phone messages in a very timely manner, even after hours and weekends.

Michael Jainchill is the best personal injury lawyer in the State of Connecticut. He is kind, professional, courteous and will fight for your deserved settlement. He will not overstate your case's importance, however you will know by his results that your case was always his priority. While working toward a settlement last year on my personal injury case, he negotiated with my medical provider to settle my outstanding medical bill for far less than their invoice, thereby ensuring a larger settlement for my future medical needs. I have worked for attorneys and law firms for over 30 years; I have extensive knowledge of personal injury cases and attorneys in this field. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael Jainchill to anyone who is in need of a highly-qualified personal injury or medical malpractice attorney.

Attorney Ronalter is one of the best lawyers I have ever encountered, and because I am a lawyer myself, I have encountered many. But I did not know Bill professionally until I found myself needing a personal injury attorney. I had been in a motor vehicle accident, where the nature of my injuries initially impaired my ability to see how much I needed a lawyer. By the time I hired Bill, there would be unforced errors in my case that he would have to clean up or live with. Attorney Ronalter never flinched at any of them He dealt with each one, always remaining a strong advocate for me, while never letting me lose sight of what was realistic. His high goals were mixed with just the right amount of reality. For me, this is part of what made him a great lawyer. When it was time to discuss new events in the case, or the results of my evaluations, or what path to take next, he never made me feel rushed or as if there was a better case he could be working on, while he was working on mine. He always gave me his full attention and he always gave me full and prompt briefings on what had occurred in the most recent communication with the defendant’s carrier. And then, as if to tell me he saw me as a whole person and not as a vehicle to a pay day, he would ask about my dogs and tell me about his own. In the handling of my case, I can’t imagine any lawyer doing more or doing better or treating me with more kindness. In the end, when he had gathered every fact and had put the events and my injuries together, he presented me with an honest assessment of what he thought and how he saw it from different angles; but then did what any good lawyer should do: he left the final decision to me. He told me he would be support me whether I chose to settle my case or let it continue into litigation. And he meant it. I chose the former, and he negotiated an excellent settlement that made sense in light of all of the facts. It felt right to me then, and it still feels right to me now. I knew before I ever asked for an initial meeting with him, that he was a competent and experienced lawyer. Quick research can provide anyone with that information. But I could not have known through research how kind, considerate, and accessible he would be. He kept me informed every step of the way. He responded to every one of my phone calls. He answered every question with complete candor and honesty. He worked as hard on my case as anyone possibly could have and then secured the outcome I wanted. And if all that were not enough, after our professional relationship ended with the settlement of my case, Bill contacted me to send his condolences when he learned that my dog had died a month into the pandemic. That’s just who he is. I would recommend William J. Ronalter to anyone who needs a great lawyer and who also wants his lawyer to be a good human being.

I wa a injured in a car accident on the highway on my way hone from work. I sustained a head injury changed my life. I was working as an ER nurse at the time in 2 different hospitals and loved what I did. That day changed my life. Mr. Ronalter represent me and my case. He went above and beyond. He cared about me as a person and what I lost my career, that I worked so hard to achieve. His team was incredibly and respectful in all aspect of my case. My life will never be the same but he put me in a place that I am financially stable. I could still reach out to him and his firm today and they get right back to me. I am so happy I choose him.

I originally was referred to Shipman and Goodwin by another attorney. After interviewing with Bill and Jim, I was convinced this was the legal team I wanted to take over my automobile accident lawsuit. Throughout the entire duration of my case, the attention, professionalism and care that Bill displayed with his associates, lacked in absolutely nothing short of perfection. My case was wrought with problems and issues; Shipman and Goodwin was the 4th firm I had hired, and needless to say I was very apprehensive by the time I retained their services. Bill handled very sensitive and personal information with attentive, courteous and polite methods, making me feel protected and safe, while guiding and prepping me through the legal proceedings before my trial. At no time during the period of 2 years did I ever doubt his abilities or experience in the process. I knew that if I was to get through my case with a positive outcome, that there was no better firm or set of attorneys out there to complete the job. I was impressed with both Jim and Bill's varying skills, complimenting each other within different realms of my case, with the end result of tying up any loose or unfinished details, making for a completely thorough case to be presented for a jury trial. When jury time came, they were completely ready to present the facts. I highly recommend Bill and Jim at Shipman and Goodwin, it made a truly unpleasant process comfortable and less stressful. I refer them to anyone I know needing legal assistance in brain injury, trauma or automobile accidents. I am deeply grateful for their assistance and services in my case.

I was very impressed with his attention to detail, his willingness to answer any and all questions I had accurately and timely, and professional demeanor that kept me calm during a stressful time. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone that is in need of legal counsel. 5/5 stars!

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.
