I contacted Patrick Bull for free legal consultation (note, he was referred to me by my nephew who is also a chief of attorneys in D.C.) I was more than satisfied and impressed with Mr. Bull’s professionalism, knowledge and patience when it came to representing one’s self in court. He was very knowledgeable, informative and walked me through the steps as to what to expect. After talking to him, I felt at ease and more confident, during this trying time. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is who is going through these proceedings, as he appears to be right on!

I was hit by a drunk driver resulting in my brand new car that I hadn't even made my first payment on being totaled and myself being injured. I hired Attorney Hoefler for my case and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I made the right decision.
Attorney Hoefler was pleasant, I'd go so far as to say enjoyable, to interact with. She was the perfect mix of friendly/casual and professional at all times. Her attitude, and her excellent communication skills, made the entire process much less painful than it otherwise could have been.
She was always reachable. It never, throughout the entire process, took more than 24 hours for her to get back to me via phone call or via email to address any question or concern I had. Often times it was significantly faster than that. Her explanations were always thorough and she is clearly highly intelligent and knowledgeable. I felt very confident in all the decisions I was making with her in my corner but at the same time she never for a second made me feel pressured or obligated to make any decision. My options were always clearly explained but the decisions were always completely up to me.
Regarding the case itself, it felt very apparent to me that Attorney Hoefler was working hard for me and she was also working quickly. She made many phone calls on my behalf, filled out paperwork for me and dealt with the insurance companies so I didn't have to. The entire process- from the day I was hit til the day I got my check in the mail from the insurance company- took under 8 months. From all the looking into that I've done and all the stories I've seen and heard from those around me who have experienced similar incidents, I'm very much under the impression that this kind of thing often takes significantly longer to resolve. I definitely felt Attorney Hoefler got things done on my behalf at a very reasonable pace.
Her pricing was clearly explained and extremely reasonable and I'm EXCEEDINGLY happy with the settlement she got me. I absolutely feel I ended up with every penny I deserve and Attorney Hoefler got me as much as anyone possibly could have. I could not within reason be any more satisfied than I am with the results.
Summing it up, Attorney Hoefler is a hard working, pleasant, highly intelligent and qualified lawyer and I would work with her again in a heartbeat if the need were to ever arise and I'd recommend her to anyone and everyone. Absolutely choose to have Attorney Hoefler in your corner and, like me, you will not for one moment regret it!
10/10 A+ attorney.

He was awarded to me by the court. For a public defender he did so much for me! I was facing a long prison sentence due to a drug crime. I sobered up and have been living a recovery lifestyle for the past year. A month after my crime I found out I was pregnant and he made it so I only needed to go into a long term treatment probgram where I can bring my baby with me for 9 months and 3 years probation. I wasn't sentenced until I was almost a year sober which helped my case dramatically. Highly recommend him he changed my life and because of him, my daughter has her mom<3

I got into a car accident and was injured from my right shoulder. Attorney David D. Curtis Jr. took on my case as I was the passenger. I’m glad I went to him for my case. He’s patient and understanding. If I had to recommend an attorney to anyone that person would be Attorney Curtis.

I had a personal injury claim that was denied by the insurance company. It was a fairly low dollar amount but I placed a call and spoke to Roger to explain the situation. A couple of days later he called me to say that he called the insurance company, explained the details to them and that they would indeed honor the claim. He was kind enough to do this for no fee even though I had not been a client before. Should I ever need an attorney or hear of someone that needs one, I would not hesitate to call or recommend him.

Words can’t explain the gratitude I have for Scott and his amazing team. I was in an extremely difficult situation and facing significant jail time and lifetime license loss. Scott prepared me and my witnesses extremely well prior to my trial. He explained to me in advance that we would decide the morning of the trial if we were doing a jury or bench trial. We went with a bench trial and the outcome couldn’t have been better. In addition, Scott had the (2) State Troopers second guessing their own testimony and made them look extremely foolish. I highly recommend Scott and his team for all criminal justice charges.

Truly SAVE yourself and your family a lot of heartache and sadness DO NOT USE this lawyer !!! Scott is arrogant , my husband hired him and I was being held on a high bail ( this was 6 years ago would not have happened today ) the CM who held me knew who I had been accused of crossing and the bail was a punishment nothing else … first when we have Scott the money for a retainer we got NO paperwork … I should have known better but you are at your lowest , scared and upset and just want to go home ! Assured he would take care of it … he missed the 1st court date , sent another nobody from his office to the second and postponed the 3rd … he also PROMISED my husband he had it u see control and I would be able to go home , my WHOLE family based their decisions on this fyi … then of course it all went wrong … then he told me I had to sit another 90 days … if I called or my husband to talk about the case we were a pain , and subject to this guys absolute disdaine and anger … HE WORKED for us ??? Then finally 90 days comes and he says to me … wanna go home ! 🏠 I ready to go and then of course doesn’t happen … now he said again she can go home … by the way he does NOT do his job and does not check other issues we needed checked I ended up not going home for 2 years and he walked away not caring and he is awful do not use him he doesn’t care , he doesn’t do any real law work … he cuts deals and wants easy cases mine was not an easy case and had I been able to go home I do not think I would have spent any time there … also , he did not even do what he said he would as to what I plead to as he said I had to take the deal or risk a lot and pay a lot … but again he did not do the work , and he doesn’t want to so if you want arrogance times 1000 and a quick and slick cut a deal cash only no paperwork type of lawyer he is your man … if you want a legit lawyer who is honest , and does his job not just cut deals use Scott ! Cannot believe he hasn’t ended up disbarred yet !

Attorney Chabot represented me in a personal injury case. He had given me documents that were to be submitted to the court and thankfully I was able to catch all the blatant errors. I was involved in a car accident and he didn't have the right state, let alone address in the documents. This happened on two separate occasions and it's clear his paralegal messed up and he didn't even know enough about me and my case to catch the mistake before he gave it to me. At best, he's an average attorney and I don't consider him to be worth recommending to anyone.

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.
