Grimes and Fertitta Law Firm was referred to me, by a friend, who had an outstanding outcome with his lawsuit. In his words, Richard Grimes is the best of the best; I couldn’t agree more. Mr. Grimes knowledge, understanding and use of the law was paramount to a successful outcome in my lawsuit. He used the facts and merits of the case and required a minimal effort from me. Both, he and his staff, treated me with respect and understanding, for which I could not be more grateful. I would recommend this law-firm to anyone seeking a professionally based organization with an expert knowledge of the law.

It took almost 2 years with one Appeal for my Disability Claim to be approved. Throughout the process, Lisa, and then Anna, made me feel like my case was important and I knew I was being taken care of. When I called to let them know my claim had been denied, I found out they were already working on my appeal - now how cool is that? I never would have made it through the lengthy process and all the paperwork without the help of Makris. I can only say, "Don't try to do this yourself. Let Makris help you!"
A Very Satisfied Client

My case was a difficult and challenging one (divorce/child custody) but this law firm knocked it out of the park. Their experience and professionalism was exactly what I needed. I am especially thankful to Ms. Gregory and Ms. Bazan for both of their efforts to resolve my case. Would recommend to anyone looking for an absolute positive guarantee in legal representation or other service members with challenging situations.

I saw a comment from Greg Smith about Abraham Watkins taking 40% and fees. There was a reply stating they don't from the law firm but I can attest to them taking 40% as a client and I saw under 5k from my 10k settlement. The firm hasn't been hard to deal with and they are rather good lawyers aside from the excessive fees. My only issue is them lying in the responses because I definitely was charged 40% in fees and saw under 5k. I also had to beg them just to file my claim for EIF when other law firms had filed claims for veterans with much less proof. I do feel defeated when it comes to how they're handling us but it's nothing new.

Honestly, it was an awesome experience and I am grateful to have been represented by the firm. They are very professional, fair, and great at getting Justice. I want to give a big shining light to Spencer Speed and his Ms.Scarlet , they were their every step of the way and kept me informed . Mr.Spencer fought for me till the end and got me the best possible result even when the insurance company denied to compensate me . Not only did he put up a great fight, he made sure I received most of my settlement. Thank you again Mr. Spencer !

Exceptional legal representation for veterans! Herren Law went above and beyond to help me secure my VA disability benefits. Despite the challenges of filing claims years after discharge, they successfully won all three of my cases, including a complex mental health claim that required a six-year appeal process. Their expertise, persistence, and dedication to veterans' causes are truly commendable. If you're a veteran struggling with disability claims, look no further. Mr. Herren is the advocate you need in your corner.

There were several charges that I thought were invalid or unwarranted, so left a bad taste in my mouth.
-They Charged me for a conversation that I had already stated the answers to in a previous email. He said he would not charge me for that, but I was charged.
-They should have asked all the necessary questions before drafting the documents. This would have avoided me getting charged for 2 additional conversations, 2 edits and 2 emails.
-I shouldn’t have been charged for revisions and emails needed due to their errors. This happened twice because of their typos/errors.
-After I emailed my final approval of the documents, I was charged for their response which was just him asking if ‘there was there anything else I needed’.
-When I replied no, I was charged for his reply which was just ‘thanks for letting him know’.
-Then I was charged for them making a draft of a letter thanking me, stating my case is closed and emailing it to me.
-Finally, I was charged again for an email with my detailed invoice.
Aside from that, the documents were prepared well, and everything was resolved in a timely manner.

Shout out to Attorney Richards and her whole team! She means what she say, "GET PAID, NOT PLAYED"! I switched to Roxell Richards Law Firm from another law firm after hearing her commercial on FM 92.1. Roxell Richards Law Firm picked up where the other law firm dropped the ball and delivered! This law team possesses professionalism and timely follow-ups with communications via text, phone call, and a portal keeping the client's best interest as a priority. They empathize with the client and WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! And now a few months later, I just got paid!!

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.
