Having problems with a roofing contractor. He looked over our contract. He saw we had paid according to the contract and the charges for what they called supplemental we were not responsible far. He also told us if we needed further assistance with this company he would help us. Very pleased with his attention to this matter.

Gregg is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet, and I owe a lot to him for taking his time to work with my wife, and I. From the beginning he believed us, and fought for truth, and justice, doing everything by the book. Always being available for a phone call, or text (when he's not in court). Not only for legal advice, but even a mentor in many regards. I could go on, and on. Bottom line is he's the fairest lawer I know, he's the best at what he does, and not only will he be my lawer again (hopefully wont need a lawer in the future) but I consider him a great friend now. Praise God, and thank you Gregg Grafagnino. God is truly with you when you bring the heat in court.

I was 19 years old and made a mistake that could wreck the rest of my life. Other family in the past has gone through Gregg and was amazed at what he could get done. When I met him he took time for me to get on an emotional level with him and then gave full attention to my case! I then made his job even more difficult by not complying to certain things and he was still patient and determined to make the best alternative for me! I've so far recommended him to 3 friends and they are all beyond happy with the results. Call him!

Mr. Louis is an amazing attorney who is knowledgeable of both state and federal laws. Having never needed a lawyer before, I was quite nervous about approaching anyone. Mr. Louis took the time to explain the costs vs. benefits and kept me informed during the time that he assisted me with a wrongful termination lawsuit. Quite simply, he is an advocate for those who are mistreated by bullies. If you think you might need a lawyer, call or email Mr. Louis Koerner.

After being represented by Mr. Schieffler on two separate occasions, I can honesty say that there is no other attorney that I'd trust more with standing up for me for what is right and fair when it comes to the law, especially personal injury law. Both he and his legal secretary, Jill, were extremely proficient in ensuring that I was both informed and educated about every step of the legal proceedings. Mr. Schieffler always made sure that any concerns were addressed timely and professionally. I have personally referred several friends/family looking for a personal injury attorney to Will Schieffler without hesitation.

Update: I finally spoke to her, turns out she’s not that bad of a person. It may just be the way the family member had things set up, which was not in our best interest. I wish we could have spoken with her a lot sooner, maybe things would have turned out better.
It’s going on over 3 years they are handling my parents succession. We gotten no where. Over 2 years I have been calling and leaving my call back number and they have yet to return my calls. One sibling is in charge and must have gotten them to agree not to talk to us. Red flags everywhere. I do not recommend this firm

Neil went to bat for me and my family in a pretty ugly situation and helped us to get our lives back on track. What I most appreciated was his willingness to drive an hour and a half to another parish to file papers on my behalf; AND his punctuality in returning all calls was very helpful to me. I can't imagine a better lawyer out there. It seemed he sincerely cared about me and my kids and was willing to go the extra mile for us. This didn't go unnoticed and I appreciated it very much since our situation got a bit dire. Under the worst pressure, he not only didn't buckle he fought harder for us and succeeded. Thank you very much. Neil Montgomery=A great attorney.

Neil is my attorney and has been for a while. He will continue to act for me through this divorce and any other legal matters. Neil has wisdom that you can not easily find amongst regular lawyers. Neil can fight in the trenches with even the nastiest of attorney's. He will worry about your case all night long so you can try to sleep soundly. Neil's his true temperament tells me one day he will become a well respected judge because his fairness defines him.
I wish to comment about another review about Neil which wasn't favorable. This open forum allows for anyone to write whatever they want. It is so unfair if there is a personal vendetta which it seems there is from what seems to be the losing side who went up against Neil Montgomery. You chose but to me - negative comments from the losing side seems like sour grapes rather than legitimate review. I know that I am glad his my attorney and although I hope for fairness, if the other side wishes to blame their failure on the other attorney, Neil is professional enough to let the mud slinging fall right off his back. He works very hard for HIS client so you probably want him as your attorney.

There is NO place in the institution of Justice for this man. If you want an attorney that DOESN'T have your children's best interest at heart, please do hire him. If you're looking for an attorney that wants to work with his client & all parties involved the Neil is NOT THE MAN FOR YOU. He hasn't learned anything in the short 9 years of his career because his EGO supersedes him and interferers with his application of the law. He advises his client to get children involved in the cases using unscrupulous tactics. I'm glad I'm done with this man and so is my attorney. His refusal to respond to emails, faxes and phone calls cost me more in the end. My advice to him would be to take a few ethical classes.

Jerri Smitko recently handled a case for me and I can’t say enough good things about her law firm. Her staff is wonderful and know what their doing. They really don’t go to court until all the ducks are in a row. They had some big shot attorney from Lafayette and she ran circles around him. Five witnesses were called against me, she used their own words against them and tore their story apart.
(That’s not all she tore) If your case means a lot to you, I would give them a call

Jessica will do exactly what you think lawyers should not entitled to do! Answer you when she wants or she feels appropriately, doesn't finish things for the deadlines, tries to put the blame on others as well as, tries to make your case longer and longer, (I'm assuming so she can make more and more money,) and does not abide by her word, if i could put 0 it would definitely be NO STARS... do not waste your time or money!!!!

She provided poor advice with regard to property settlement details. She advised it would be ok to agree to give my ex spouse half of my retirement because I could get an equal amount from his social security when I retired. This is NOT the case....I am unable to claim ANY of his social security benefits. This is causing significant financial hardship for me.

I filed for divorce on grounds of abuse. When I hired Joan, she advised me not to seek our local women's shelter, the Haven, for assistance and further stated I had better resources with current life coach and my children's counselor. She on multiple levels did not properly represent me and my children as her client and for an expensive amount @ $10,000. She has in result endangered myself and my children. As without the proper guidance from professionals in domestic violence she advised not to seek, I have been exposed to two more abusive relationships after my divorce, one with a current protective order. My children have been exposed to extreme child alienation from my ex spouse I highly do not recommend Joan as she clearly cannot be trusted to properly represent on her client's behalf.

Joan Malbrough was my attorney for my divorce and custody. I told her what I wanted and we discussed my options. When it went to court, she grilled my ex over his lies and lack of involvement in our child's life. I could not have asked for a better attorney and plan to hire her again when I take my ex back to court!!!

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.
