I recently had the pleasure of working with Yuliana on a case against my car dealership, and I can't recommend them highly enough! When I discovered my car was faulty but I was still stuck making payments, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of my options. That’s when I reached out to Yagoudaeva Law Group and had the pleasure of meeting Yuliana.
From our first consultation, I felt reassured. She took the time to listen to my situation, explained the legal process clearly, and outlined a strategy that made sense. Yuliana was incredibly knowledgeable about consumer rights and had a deep understanding of dealership practices, which gave me confidence that I was in good hands.
Throughout the process, she was always available to answer my questions and kept me updated on the progress of my case. Her dedication was evident, and I could tell that she genuinely cared about getting me the best outcome. Her expertise and commitment made all the difference.
If you’re facing a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend Yuliana from Yagoudaeva Law Group.

I cannot speak highly enough of Voloshen Law Firm P.C. and their outstanding team! My experience with them while preparing for my USCIS interview for petition N-400 and i-751was simply exceptional.
From the moment I reached out to them, I was met with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case. Igor Voloshen, the attorney, went above and beyond by personally coming to Chicago to be present at my interview. His dedication and commitment to ensuring my success were truly remarkable.
Also, I am very thankful to Liliia, whose attention to detail, strategic guidance, and thorough preparation with documents were crucial in my interview readiness.
Thanks to the expertise and dedication of the Voloshen Law Firm team, I felt confident and well-prepared during my USCIS interview. I am incredibly thankful for their assistance and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of immigration legal support. They truly show excellence in their field!

When reviewing an attorney, i would consider three items.
knowledge, experience and personality. Each of these qualities are extremely important and should be considered. Tony exceeds each category and his demeanor is exemplary not only in his office but also in court. I would not be surprised if other attorneys would consult Tony for support.

Mr. Fenerty has helped my family and I on several issues, personal and professional, over the years. He gave us the time we needed, and perhaps most important, we were happy with the results. I have recommended him to family and friends, and they were grateful for the referral.

I have only positive things to say about Andy. He made an uncomfortable situation bearable for me from beginning to end. He always addressed my questions and concerns in a timely manner, he was patient with me and helped me to understand when I was confused, AND he also kept me informed as developments occurred. He made me feel important and that I mattered. Of course I hope that I never have another situation needing a lawyer but, if I do, I would certainly reach out to Andy to ask if he would represent me again. Definitely would recommend him!

I have known Andy (Andrew) for over 30 yrs, when he first represented me in my 1st personal injury claim. I was then 18yrs of age. Andy was always available to answer phone calls, even when those calls were going to be contentious ( usually resulting in my anxiousness or uncertainty of the outcome of the case)/
Andy was always honest and forthright with his findings/information. I have often told him that he has broken the sterotype of a "lawyer" because he is a man/professional of Integrity, character and principle. Whomever is reading this review I can assure you that Andy will do two things for you:
1. Andy will be up front and realistic about your potential wage loss/recovery.
2.He will keep you informed every step of the way.

He is one of the best!

Working with Tony Baratta and his team was such a huge relief during the long and stressful process after my car accident. They were there for me the whole time, always checking in and keeping me in the loop. They made everything so much easier to understand, which really helped take the weight off my shoulders. Even though the process dragged on, they stayed super dedicated and had my back the entire time. I’m super grateful for everything they did—couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer! Thanks for everything!

I hired Gregg after I saw him in litigation on another case. Expensive but clearly an attorney who is not going to let go until the best result for the client is achieved. Highly recommend Gregg.

It has taken me a few years to write this review. One of the previous reviewers said that Gregg Cotler is the attorney of last resort-well maybe that is true but if you can help it, why wait. I hope people read this review and realize how critical it is to engage the right attorney. Gregg Cotler deserves the highest attorney rating and anyone who is going through even half of what my family experienced, should, without question, retain Mr. Cotler. One or two word platitudes regarding Mr. Cotler simply won't suffice. Mr. Cotler represented my company and my family at a time when everything seemed lost and we were literally running out of any hope. For many years, we ran a small family company. We paid our employees quite well, we treated them as family members, and never in our wildest dreams would we ever have suspected that one of those employees would be responsible for stealing more than a half a million dollars from us and was ultimately responsible for destroying our entire business. We were alerted to the theft by our credit card company but it was Mr. Cotler who figured out what really was going on inside our company. Once he deciphered and disentangled the criminal scheme, he walked our family through the criminal investigation, taking us to the best group of detectives in our county. Then he counseled us through the criminal trial, penalty stage and restitution agreement. He met with the defense counsel, the detectives, and with the judge and, he developed an amazing criminal and civil litigation strategy. On the civil side, he negotiated a settlement with our insurance company and filed suit against the employee for damages. His litigation skills were so sharp that he basically forced the defendant to choose settlement which included the sale of her personal home. His overall strategy and plan for helping my family was nothing short of miraculous. Where most attorneys would have only been peripherally involved in the criminal case, Mr. Cotler orchestrated the best possible resolution for our family. It is my understanding that in most cases involving embezzlement by an employee, that employee either receives a jail sentence and then probation or just probation. Although restitution may be ordered in many cases, the enforcement of those payments is almost non-existent. In our case, the former employee actually received 21 years house arrest which was primarily based upon the monthly calculation to repay our family. It was such an original and novel plan that it instantly received national attention and we were contacted by both the television and newspaper press.
I have read some of the reviews previously written about Mr. Cotler and I hope that I can add some helpful and significant information. If you are looking for an attorney who can review and write contracts or negotiate business deals, you certainly can hire Mr. Cotler. However, you probably could find a fair number of attorneys in your community who could handle general business matters for less money. Mr. Cotler is fair minded when it comes to hourly billing but he is not the least expensive attorney around. No, the most important thing that I could say about Mr. Cotler is the fact that he is one of a kind and if you are looking for an attorney to help solve complex and serious problems, he gets my highest recommendation. He has that very rare quality of being a great listener combined with the highest level critical thinker and possesses a unique analytical mind, the empathy of a saint and has a seemingly endless energy reserve. He is an incredible litigator and he can out-work a team of big firm lawyers. If you can afford his services by all means hire him before the other side does.

Gregg has represented me for about three years in a matter that has required extensive and detailed knowledge in a variety of business areas. He has competently provided the appropriate case law and citations to document the powerful arguments he has offered on my behalf. He has used logic and understanding in presenting his arguments. Most important, he has provided me with support and security by assuring me that he would not abandon me during this difficult and time consuming ordeal.

An extremely unprofessional group of "professionals." I initially contacted this firm six weeks ago for personal injury representation. It's impossible to get a hold of anyone by phone or email, whether it's the attorneys themselves or the assistants.
It took me three calls and three voicemails before I was able to reach anyone to call me back over a week's span. I had a brief phone consultation and then was emailed a contract which I promptly signed and returned.
Since then, it has been radio silence, and I have not heard anything relating to my incident. I've reached out twice by email and receive no response. I've been left in the dark, forced to navigate everything myself.
On a positive note, I did receive an automatic mass email telling me to check out their new website and all the amazing updates that can be found there.
If you would like to read updated bios of the staff stroking their own egos, I highly recommend you check it out the on the new website. Anything else will be treated like a waste of time and not taken seriously.

Posting a review that could easily consume several pages. Over the past year, Deb has provided an outstanding level of advice, moral support and professional services as I explored and committed to adoption. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and well organized but she was punctual, professional, has clear communication and great follow-up! I was very fortunate to have Deb by my side, who provided the kind of support you would normally only receive from your closest loved ones. Always professional, but also personable enough to see and understand Deb’s profession is her passion! Our journey was long and at times wearing but I was consistently blown away by her commitment to us as clients and you will be too.

I initially engaged Deb for a custody case and have been very grateful ever since. She was able to win sole custody for the father, which seemed like a dream when we started the process. Deb was able to accomplish what seemed like an impossible task in the City of Philadelphia, and a child's life and our lives are immeasurably better as a result. She was understanding of the matter, an excellent communicator with the child, and fantastic with keeping us in the loop on all procedures. I would recommend her to anyone seeking counsel in any of the fields she specializes in.

During one of the most critical and emotional times of my life, Debbie with ZERO NOTICE jumped into my case with little to no questions asked except for necessary questions for immediate filings! I cannot express how wonderful it has been working with Debbie and how on top of her cases she is and how she works collaboratively with her client and really listens to her clients.
I would recommend Debbie with any of your family law needs!!

Paid retainer by taking out a bank loan, as we did not have that much money in savings. She wrote a single one page letter on our behalf, which we had to edit for her. We decided not to take the civil matter any further and requested a copy of the billable hours on August 23, 2019 and a refund for our remaining balance. It is now September 26, 2019 and we have not gotten a response to the 4 emails and phone message we have sent her.

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.
