All the negative reviewers here are spot on. She did not fight for us, and toward the end she dropped our case, two weeks before trial. She didn’t transfer all pertinent information to the new lawyer she chose, and we lost poorly. I still don’t have custody of my child. She was appointed to me I didn’t hire her. I am not an addict or a violent offender or anything of the sort. I was hospitalized and my child was stolen from me because I got sick. I am well and have been for over 4 years, but she made it near impossible for me to get what me and my child deserve. Adequate time together along with loss of custody. For what seems now will be permanent. As others have stated, she allowed the opposing parties attorneys to dominate the case and courtroom with the lawyer. She dropped my case two weeks before trial. She was an emotional mess the entire time we met, she can not do her job effectively. Find someone else.

Would definatly recomend using John as your lawyer. He told me what he could do in my situation and did all that he said. I had FTAs for traffic violations that could have caused me to go to jail and affected my probation in another county. He was able to get me a new court date and handled all requirements before i ever showed up to court. I was even 1st and and 1st out in court because of his dilligently work and was able to avoid sitting in jail over a missed court date. Couldnt have asked for a better outcome.

It was without stress, with no question unanswered, and with full disclosure of the case flow. Case closed in my favor at a settlement exceeding our expectations. Mr Brinkley has my highest endorsement. Sure, I would call him again , you bet.

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting with attorney Maleah Durham about submitting paperwork for us, and she was absolutely amazing! She was fun, energetic, and highly professional—truly brilliant. We just loved her! She does it all and genuinely cares about her clients. We were so grateful to have met her and would be thrilled to have her as our attorney again if needed. She also submitted our paperwork the same day, and we heard back from her just three business days later—simply phenomenal!

I had to use Tom for the one and (hopefully only) time I had to file a lawsuit against someone who badly deserved it. I am glad I did. While he is a man of few words, he delivers results. I have heard from numerous well respected people in the Huntsville/ Madison area upon learning I am using Tom as my lawyer that I made the right choice. He is highly respected for his work in Real Estate litigation. Highly recommended!

It is going to be difficult for me to find the words to express the level of heartfelt gratitude I have toward Mr. Thomas S. McGrath’s law firm. I am a single mother of 2 small children who was seeking to purchase a home and found herself being taken advantage of a Real Estate team out of Madison, Alabama. They were in the process of trying to manipulate me into buying a home that they had not repaired as promised and time was running for me with my apartment lease. I had to make a decision to stay in my apartment or take a chance on a house that may never be repaired as promised. I knew I could never afford to take on the repairs they were trying to leave behind. I was receiving threats of being taken to court for not wanting to purchase this home and with their disregard for my situation could have very well lead to the kids and I being homeless. They did not care no matter how much I tried to explain my situation. Needless to say I was scared and was losing hope quickly. I decided it was time to seek legal advice. I was able to speak with a few lawyers in the area but I only got very “broad” answers if you will, which didn’t give me any comfort or direction. Luckily, Mr. McGrath was recommended to me and within a few days his team had me scheduled for a consultation. The day of the consultation, Mr. McGrath’s demeanor was unmatched and his genuine concern for the situation was overwhelming. He is very direct and will tell you the truth about the severity of the situation and the projected outcome based on facts presented. His efforts are 100% the entire time. I had been dealing with this situation for weeks on my own and I finally felt like I had solid support. Mr. McGrath has been practicing law for 27 years or more and is well versed in Real Estate, among other things which is very comforting also. He went the extra mile to ensure I was secure and understood the plan of action he had. His skill and attention to detail helped me retrieve the mutual release and earnest money I had deposited within a few days even after the real estate company had denied my request of release several times. Mr. McGrath projected how they would respond and always had a plan of action in place at all times. The kids and I lost our opportunity to purchase a home this year but I can guarantee you I will be confident next year knowing I can call Mr. McGrath if another agency tries to corner me into a bad buy again. He is extremely knowledgeable and has high moral standards. You will not find a better person to support your legal needs. I hope Real Estate teams who tend to lean toward unfair practices are well aware that there is a lawyer in the area who won’t allow it and is very capable of discerning good and bad real estate practice. I thank the McGrath Law Firm from the bottom of my heart and will be forever grateful!

He is a caring, highly competent attorney that I will always be grateful to for fighting for me. I was given the run around until he took my case. When THEY hear his name , things start to happen!! Simply the best!!

I have consulted with Maureen Cooper for two different issues related to divorce and alimony . In the past , the thought of consulting with any attorney was one associated with fear and dread . I have had contact with lawyers in the past who had no genuine desire to help me quickly resolve a problem or to provide straight answers . I had never consulted with an attorney who genuinely wanted to earn the respect and trust of others as much as he wanted to take advantage of my problem for his own profit . Ms. Cooper is a rare gem because she is competent , straight forward , not manipulative and earnest in her desire to assist people and not exploit their problems to advance herself in an unfair way . She is a good person , and if someone needs an attorney they can trust who will not take advantage of them , she is the first person to call . I hold her in high esteem and feel thankful to know an attorney of her caliber in competence and human decency . I asked another attorney who was too busy to consult with me for a name of an honest and capable lawyer . She spoke highly of Maureen , and I must agree she was correct in her assessment of Maureen Cooper.

Mr. Forsythe was extremely adept at fielding the process of filing for disability. He is professional and unbelievably patient however I feel it’s best to mention that he is most of all, honest. He always was upfront about the process and didn’t give me false hope. He managed expectations and kept me in the loop every step of the way. He returned countless emails and called each time he had an update. I’d have been lost without his guidance and wisdom. I highly recommend meeting with him if you or someone you know is disabled and ready to begin the process of filing for disability. You couldn’t ask for a better attorney. Meet with him and see for yourself!

The attorney I dealt with was misogynistic. Even though I had my husband’s power of attorney, he wanted to verify with my husband the details of a closing transaction.

Tyler represented me several years ago when he worked for a high profile, local clown after I was passed around the office, stalled, and mislead by the large, robotic staff. Much to my relief, Tyler's personable nature and strong efforts were instant indications he truly cared for those he represented and their circumstances and had their best interest at heart. I was very satsified with Tyler's representation and recommend him to all. Glad you made it out of that place, Tyler!

I used Charles Pittman as my law firm after my wreck. Tyler Mann was assigned to my case. I had a broken sternum, neck, and back and Tyler kept trying to push me to settle my case without going to court. I walked away with less than $1,300 for myself and I have had to go thru years of pain management, MRI's, injections, etc ALL from my own insurance bc I listened to him that "this was the best offer we were going to get". So now I have to have my insurance pay for everything and live in pain every day, when I could have had a major settlement. I would not recommend Tyler Mann to anyone.

Tyler Mann truly came to my rescue and provided professional legal assistance and services that were fair, just, sound, and timely. After having dealt with other over the top & very commercialized attorneys in town, I resulted to handling things on my own which became very stressful and overwhelming to me. After seeing one of his commercials, I decided to call & meet with Mr. Mann. Resultantly, I turned over 2 auto accident/personal injury cases over to him that I had been personally working for over 1 year. My cases were very personal to me and I wanted an attorney that would treat them just the same. I wanted the attorney I saw on TV to represent me not someone else associated with the practice. Mr. Mann did just that; he took both my cases personal and personally. He took away & took on all my stresses and stressors; he listened with care, he kept me informed and in the loop; he didn't make offers or negotiate without consulting with me; he provided sound legal advice and kept it real and respectful. He settled both my cases out of court within a few months and at a sum greater than I ever thought I would be due. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney possessing great business savvy. He is awesome.

I generally appreciate how they handled the case itself. They helped me to understand what was important and make sure we did what was necessary. That being said, towards the end of the case, they asked for an additional retainer which I paid with the trust that any unused retainer would be refunded. I ended up negotiating an early end to the case, which brought it to a close sooner than expected. After the case closed out I patiently waited for the judge's orders and final executed agreement and it wasn't until I contacted them twice that I was finally given these documents. They told me that their email server had crashed, though apparently they made no effort to verify that necessary communications had gone through. Once I told them I wanted to close out the case and get my final itemized billing statement it became very difficult to reach them. I had to contact Legal Shield just to get Mr. Campbell to answer. He eventually sent me a statement with many obvious overbillings, such as: * an erroneous process server fee (which he admits) * billing for a subpoena for a court appearance Mr. Campbell missed (which had to be rescheduled, everyone else was there but him) * billing for me to go back and forth with them to obtain the end of case documents they never sent me Mr. Campbell said he would review the statement and make any corrections then get back to me. However, since this response from him I haven't heard back from him and it is clear that he is not interested in providing fair and accurate accounting. I'm not sure what's going on, if he's just busy or if he really doesn't care and thinks it's beneath him to be accountable to his client who's paid him thousands of dollars for representation. Whatever it is, it's unacceptable and he should be ashamed of himself. I placed my trust in him and was not treated like a valued client in the end. Keep that in mind when you think of letting him hold onto your retainer. You may not get it back and he may not care to be transparently accountable about how it was spent.

Hired John to take on a claim I had against a car insurance company that was incredibly difficult to deal with in settling this matter. The Insurance company's client rear-ended me, sent me to the hospital and I had lasting injuries afterwards. John immediately took the case and spent nearly a year arguing with the insurance company. In the end, he got a huge settlement for me!! Amazing attorney!

Kerri did not represent me concerning the issue For which I hired her. She, instead, made agreements with my ex whom she knew and liked. She failed to tell me this. She did not complete discovery. Do not use this lawyer! She is dishonest. I have tried to talk with her for years about what she did and she will not contact or meet with me.

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.
