The Law Office is in a modern building and a safe location. The receptionist seemed efficient. The lawyer with whom I consulted,Bill Potter, was friendly and welcoming. I was there for advice on a potential criminal violation. Although we were visiting one of his areas of expertise, it was apparent he had done further homework. Bill managed to put my mind at ease vis-a-vis present actions and future conduct and application. It would have been easy for him to leave an option for further action and expense, but he clarified probable futility of such. I left with my qualms, fears, and reservations allayed. I got a distinct vibe of integrity from Bill and would unhesitatingly recommend him for criminal concern.

Mr. Eric and his team, Lacey and JD, had helped my brother and I after a hit-run accident where our car was totaled. We were volleyball players and the injury set us back on months of chiro and medical appointments. His team made sure to take care of us, keep us updated, and was direct and professional. Never doubted his abilities, commitment, and will to ensure that we were properly taken care of. Though I hope to never see any legal office again, if I do have to in the future, you can bet I’m coming back here. Thank you so much Marshall Injury Law.

The RIGHT Lawyers is HIGHLY Recommended! From my first phone call to the firm, to my last interaction with them, they have been extremely responsive, efficient, professional and knowledgeable. They offered compassion and knowledge that helped me through the divorce. The guidance of Rock and team was very helpful when it came to making decisions on the divorce. They offered insight, logic and perspective in a time of high emotions. I did not feel that Rock and team were in this to empty my checkbook! In fact, Rock had often times reminded me of the value of the battle with the plaintiff. He would often remind me that it would cost more to fight over some household kitchen items than it would be to just let the other party have it. It was a hard concept to let go of, but he was correct. Bottom line is he offered logic when I could not think clearly during the divorce! The RIGHT Lawyers offers the flat fee which I think is easy to work with and offered less stress than having to calculate and keep track of hours, etc. I got more than I expected with the RIGHT Lawyers. I highly recommend this team of professionals!

I hired Michael Carman on a referral from my trust attorney in NV. Mike and I met on a Monday, I hired him on the spot, my complaint was filed 3 days later and he and his team (Maria, Missy, Emma, Stephanie and Robin) worked diligently to successful gain an annulment for me in 35 days!! Mike is crystal clear, to the point & most importantly does NOT waste your time or money. Mike is very approachable and available. He ONLY wants what is best for the client and encourages his clients to move on when the divorce is done. This was the BEST experience I have ever had with an attorney. Thank you Mike and team.

I actually met Michael by accident. I was a single father trying to get custody of his son after my girlfriend was advised by legal council to leave the state without consent. The way the laws were written, there are nearly no protections afforded single fathers. I was actually using a different lawyer, and due to a very biased judge, I was only allowed to see my son 9 days a month, and I was ordered to pay $693 a month Child support. Michael worked very hard on our appeal to the state supreme court, and while we were not able to overturn the decision of the original judge (one who is no longer serving as a family judge in the state of Nevada), we were able to get legislation introduced to help cement the rights of unwed fathers in Nevada. I see the people that gave him low reviews complained that he overcharged them. I can't speak for that, but I can tell you that he did all the work on my case, which would have been well in excess of $100k completely Pro Bono. While he was unable to get help for me, I do not believe it was due to anything he did wrong, but due to an incorrect decision by the state Supreme Court of the State of Nevada.

Dont belive the great speech that Linda gives you about how honest they are, its all BS .. Awful experience. First of all, nobody ever contacted me about anything, I have to investigate my case by my own. If you call them, they will only answer after they get annoyed, but still, nobody knows anything about my case. They never put a lean on my accounts, so I was sent to collections for several medical bills, and be aware that they not only take 33% they also charge you over $1000 for office fees( event though they do nothing my case was settled by the insurance company)... After the settlement I got less money than they did, I have to pay all my medical bills out my packet. My credit score is so low I can't even get a job. Still waiting for the camera footage that they were supposed to send me, but of course that would never happen.

I did not have a very good experience with this company. My mom passed away almost a year ago and some of her assists needed to go through probate. We came here for assistance. Every thing was going fine until 3 days before the court date I got an email and call from Joanne who stated she needed more information for the courts. At this time I was in Columbia about to board a plane home and did not have access to anything, also confused as we had spoken to the lawyer 4 months prior to the court date and they just now had realized they needed more information. I am assuming that because of not having the needed information the court date was bumped back from April to June. I then called Joanne asking how to obtain my moms money knowing that they had a check from Macys which my aunt had brought to them. Instead of answering my question Joanne sent me a list of my mom’s assets. When my aunt went over to talk with Joanne she proceeds to tell my aunt that they do not owe us any money. 2 months later after my aunt had gone over multiple time and them telling me that they have sent the check, my aunt was able to get the check. Me, my brother, and step dad do not live in Nevada and felt that this company took advantage of that. Joanne was very rude to me at times when I called her for information. I do not recommend this company or just stay clear of Joanne.

I would not suggest this lawyer to anyone. This lawyer was hired to represent me and my sibling in a personal injury case where my mother passed away as a result of a automobile accident. It has been almost a year and a half since the accident and the law firm has yet to settle the case. The insurance companies agreed to pay out to my mother without litigation, however a year and four months later the law firm has yet to take the necessary actions to resolve the case. What I find most disrespectful is that the office refused to take calls or return calls. I must note, it is not like we are constantly calling the office for information. I would say that Brenda is the worst case manager ever. I would also say that the office was not 100% honest with us. They claim that they did not represent an estate. Yet, they had to file an order to set aside the administration of my mothers estate to disburse the funds received from one of the insurance companies. When they filed the documents in probate court, they failed to include all the required documents so the case was taken off calendar and rescheduled for another date. We have called several times to obtain the documents required for signature and they refuse to take our calls. I also find that they should have informed us from the beginning that probate would be necessary but they did not because they found a way to make a easy 33.3% from the settlement when I believe that they should have referred us to probate in the first place. Don't waste your time with this lawyer especially if the person has passed away. You will still need to go through probate because the insurance company is going to pay whatever settlement you are entitled to, to the estate.

There are many attorneys in and around Las Vegas, this guy is definetley one you would NOT want to use. If he cannot collect from the person you are persuing, he will go after you and yours to get the almighty dollar. This guy is the worst of the worst. Let me put it this way so everyone can understand... Would you trust a pet rattle snake? Would you even have a pet rattle snake? Then ask yourself, Would you have Jeffrey Sloane as an attorney?. Any good reviews on this individual are probably fake. Any retorts from him would also be false. The review and opinions are my thoughts and beliefs, and the last time I checked, I live in America and I'm allowed to express my thoughts and beliefs, as per my constitutional rights.

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.
