I've had the pleasure of working with El Dabe Trial Lawyers, and I have to say, they exceeded my expectations. Edmond and his team are outstanding. This law firm operates with the highest level of professionalism and is genuinely committed to their clients. From the moment you walk through their doors, you’re treated with respect and care.
One thing that really impressed me was how they handle complex cases. Many other firms might hesitate to take on such challenges, but El Dabe Trial Lawyers approach them head-on with confidence and expertise. Their experience shines through in every aspect of their work.
Another standout quality is their communication. Throughout the process, they keep you well-informed, making sure you understand each step of your case. This level of transparency and dedication is something you don’t always find in the legal world.
The entire team works seamlessly together, ensuring that every detail is covered. They’re always on top of things, which gives you peace of mind knowing your case is in capable hands. If you’re searching for a law firm that’s not only skilled but also genuinely cares about getting you the best possible outcome, I highly recommend El Dabe Trial Lawyers. They’ve earned my trust and my highest recommendation!

Attorney Fernandez was truly understanding of my situation and assisted me in understanding the legal process from our initial meeting. Throughout the process, he handled every aspect with precision. Moreover, all the staff in the office effectively communicate and respond to any questions I had promptly. I strongly recommend anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney to consider Attorney Fernandez!

I hired Jim McKanna based on the strong recommendation of a close colleague whom had worked with him in the past. I was arrested for a DUI and was terrified to say the least; Jim immediately helped alleviate those fears. Jim was professional and prepared and he was able to answer all of my questions with a confidence earned from years of legal practice and experience. After a few phone calls to the courthouse Jim was able to outline a legal strategy and time-line that would ensure the most favorable possible outcome considering the facts of my case. Jim was with me throughout the entire process, he made himself available at all times to answer questions and to simply put me at ease. Jim was very reasonable and fair with his pricing, but more importantly Jim gave me peace of mind and the confidence to move forward with the legal process. Jim was non-judgmental, tenacious, professional and kind; he helped me to navigate a very difficult time in my life. I give Mr. McKanna the highest of praise and recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of legal counsel.

My wife and I have come to know Mr. McKanna for the past 10 years as an outstanding attorney and a wonderful person. He helped us on several occasions with legal challenges. Jim is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, yet always accessible and reliable. He works every case, even a simple infraction as it was his own. If you need a highly effective lawyer and a reliable friend, I strongly suggest to give Jim a call.

I give James McKanna my highest personal recommendation. He is an attorney of high character, diligence and skill
. I had a slip and fall personal injury matter which was approaching the statute of limitations. I asked Mr. McKanna to review my file to see if I had a case. He immediately went into action, filed a lawsuit and quickly obtained my medical records. Jim was able to negotiate a very good settlement within 3 months of the lawsuit being filed. which I attribute to his high level advocacy and interpersonal demeanor. I would highly recommend Mr. McKanna for any personal injury matter. Future clients will not be disappointed.

I could not speak more highly of The Law Offices of Brent Caldwell and particularly attorney Brett Shegda. Not only did he listen, but he was kind and understanding and immediately understood how difficult it has been for me since the auto accident. The case was handled with great care and I was very happy with the out come. I would not hesitate to recommend Brett for any personal injury matter.

Brett did a great job on my case! When we first met he really took the time to explain the legal process and how my case would pan out along the way. He kept me informed as we went through the process and would check in with me as well. He's super thorough with everything, I know that's why my case resolved as well as it did. I would definitely recommend Brett to anyone who is need of legal help.

Mrs. Choi is truly a knowledgeable attorney who understands the law, has a heart to help people, and is characterized by integrity. I sought her help with some contract issue regarding rental agreements and she was very patient to give me informed advice. She didn't charge me to for the initial consultation and was very willing to help me resolve the issue. Her experience with the law was instrumental in helping me make the best decision about my legal options. I would confidently recommend Mrs. Choi for consultation for any legal problems.

PARKER LAW CENTER Kellee Parker Harris, Candice Ashley and TEAM! Wow! I’ll just start off with how amazing they are! So professional and everything they say and advertise is the true. I searched many lawyers and got many opinions when I felt I was wrongfully charged with a DUI. So many thoughts and emotions running through me as I searched during this time. Very stressful as well. It was hard. Then I came across PARKER LAW CENTER. After reading through their website. I felt great about what I read. So informative. When I spoke to Kellee and staff. I knew I found my lawyer. I didn’t feel with them at all that I was guilty of getting charged with a DUI. That was a big deal to me at that moment as other lawyers seem to be writing me off as I was guilty without hearing me out. You can feel it. Kellee and team communicated with me throughout my case. Always in the knowing. Long story short because I can continue writing how amazing they are in the end I didn’t get a DUI! It was a long case battle but I had faith and in the end I’m so grateful I came across Kellee. Today it’s all behind me with peace of mind and still driving. If your going through a hard time with a charge give them a call. You won’t regret it. Thank you Kellee!

When I was in need of legal counsel, I did my due diligence and learned that the services provided by the Parker Law Center Firm were second to none. I retained Attorney Parker and could not be more pleased with her representation. The entire staff and counsel walked me through the initial process and have been by my side every step of the way. I can't thank the entire office enough for going above and beyond any and every expectation I had for them in guiding me through this very intimidating and confusing matter and helping me obtain the best possible outcome.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. I appreciate his hard work and dedication, I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations! I would recommend going with the Saleh Law Group (Rony) moving forward to everyone!

Formal Complaint Regarding Legal Representation by Robert Phan
Background
I retained the legal services of Robert Phan of Garcia and Phan for representation in two legal matters, engaging his services based on a personal referral and his claims of 20+ years of legal experience.
Specific Concerns with Legal Representation
1. Court Appearances and Professional Negligence
During the course of representation, I received multiple court notices indicating warrants for my arrest due to alleged failure to appear. Upon investigation, these warrants were a direct result of Mr. Phan's repeated failure to appear in court, despite assurances that he would handle all court dates on my behalf.
2. Ineffective Case Management
Contrary to initial confidence, Mr. Phan did not pursue optimal case resolution strategies:
*He prioritized "keeping me out of jail" over potentially dismissing cases
*Suggested proceeding to trial, explicitly noting increased expenses
*Indicated need to bring in additional counsel, suggesting inadequate expertise for the cases
3. Incomplete Case Review and Discovery
Critical issues were identified regarding case preparation:
*Mr. Phan requested I recall specific case dates, despite having this information in police reports
*Failed to thoroughly review discovery documents
*Claimed to have lost discovery materials for one of my cases
4. Missed Legal Opportunities
An independent attorney confirmed that one case potentially qualified for dismissal due to expired statute of limitations - an avenue Mr. Phan failed to explore.
Communication Breakdown
After expressing dissatisfaction with the services rendered, I requested a refund. My attempts to communicate via phone, email, and text were systematically ignored.
Requested Action
I am formally requesting a comprehensive review of the legal services provided by Robert Phan, with particular attention to:
1. Professional conduct
2. Case management practices
3. Client communication standards
Conclusion
The representation provided fell significantly below the professional standards expected of legal counsel, causing substantial professional and personal disruption.

ROBERT TAYLOR IS THE BEST! I filed for bankruptcy 7 years ago and it’s was one of the best decisions I have ever made to get my life back on track. He made the process so extremely easy, comfortable, and seamless! He has been there for me in so many ways that I can’t thank him enough! Great personality and really cares about his clients and explains everything so efficiently! He is the best and even 7 years later I needed him again for some documents for proof of discharge and he did it all in less than 2 minutes. Years later and he still is supporting and helping me! HE IS THE BEST! If you are looking for a lawyer he is the one!

Choosing McCready Law Group was definitely the best decision I could have ever made. They're honest, friendly, and truly great listeners who take the time to address your concerns. Despite the complexity of my case, they handled it with professionalism and unwavering dedication, ultimately getting it dismissed. Their commitment to fighting for justice was evident, and they even offered extra advice, which I greatly appreciated. Their ability to stay persistent in the courtroom was crucial to the positive outcome. If you want a legal team that genuinely cares and knows how to get results, I highly recommend McCready Law Group.

If you are looking for a buisness litigation lawyer Ms. Telep should be your first and last phone call. She is a bulldog and will make sure your needs are met. I wouldn't go to anyone else if you have a tough case. There's no such thing as the impossible case for her. Her settlement awards are the highest in cases that are considered difficult or impossible.

When my husband was faced with felony charges, we both thought our world would come crashing down. Nghi was one of the first attorneys I contacted, and from our very first conversation, I knew he cared, and he would fight for my husband and me. His fees were very competitive in regard to other attorneys' fees, and he always stayed in contact with us to keep us abreast of the situation. "Charges dismissed" was music to our ears. Not only did Nghi get the charges dismissed, but he saved us over $6000 in restitution. If you need an excellent defense attorney who is reliable, dependable, and cares for the clients he is representing, Nghi Lam is definitely your man! Thank you so much, Nghi! The Paynes

They took the time to genuinely inquire about our recovery before diving into the details of the case.
Throughout the process, the team was meticulous in their approach, documenting everything with precision and efficiently gathering all necessary information. They consistently kept us informed, ensuring we were always up to date on the progress of our case. Ultimately, the matter was settled out of court in a manner that met our expectations.

I recently reached out to Jackson and Jackson, almost not expecting a reply because of the insignificance of the claim involved -- only to have Mr. Gary Jackson himself call me within minutes. He not only advised me on how I could handle the claim myself, Mr. Jackson also took the time to educate me on the process involved in submitting my claim and even clarified several points on which I had been misinformed and misled in my conversations with Worker's Compensation. He informed me that, to my surprise, I was actually entitled to a fixed settlement amount in addition to the bare minimum I had been led to believe I could collect. I am certain I never would have learned of this on my own.
I am beyond grateful for Mr. Jackson's invaluable counsel, but I find the kindness and respect with which he treated me, knowing he would not be representing me, simply overwhelming. Mr. Gary Jackson is the absolute best in my book, and I highly recommend his firm.

My previous lawyer dropped my case due to my financial obligation in the middle of Trial. I consulted with Mr. Gold for my divorce case and he was able to work with me on a reasonable fee. Considering my case was up for Trial in 2 weeks, I was shocked he took my case last minute. The day of Trial, he and his paralegal made me feel at ease and put some personal attention to my case. I was able to get 50/50 custody and support and finally after 4 years I was divorced and now living a happy life with my children. Thank you so much Mr. Gold.

I called him for a consultation just before Christmas weekend. I let him know that I would call him if I wanted to schedule an appointment. After the long weekend he sent me multiple texts insulting me about the problem I had asked him about and then proceeded to threaten me for not hiring him as my lawyer. When consulting me he was very unprofessional and even asked if I had a friend I can pin it on.
Do not hire him!!! I'm glad I didn't! He is a very sketchy man. Very unprofessional. Very rude. You can tell he just wants your money.

I was on probation with my DUI case and foolishly drove under a suspended license. I am young and cannot afford a lawyer, but afraid to appear in court alone. I met with Mr. Jeffrey Gold and he gave me free consultation. I told him immediately, I don't have much money to work with here but would appreciate any advise you can give me. He went through my paperwork and said you need to do blah blah...and come back to me before your court date, I will help you. I was shocked he took his time to review my case without asking a dime. I came back to him 2 days before my court date and he still remembers me. He kept his word and appeared in court with me and only charge me for his time in court. The Judge greeted Mr. Gold as if she knew him, so my tension calmed a bit. In the end, I was so lucky I was given only 14 hours of community service. I swear i thought I was going to jail.

In the beginning, it was great. He was eager to help us and everything seemed to be going well until he signed us up. It took him forever to file the bankruptcy case and repeated emails/calls for status updates were ignored. It's as it was one way communication attorney... he wouldn't respond to any of our requests for updates; he only re-contacted us at the end of the process... not happy with the lack of updates and help after the case was over, but he did win the case in the end.

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.
