When I came to Melissa Miller looking for a divorce I was stressed and worried about the entire thing but she and Alicia took excellent care of me. They worked with me, answered my questions, and took my stress level down to 0. They made it as easy and smooth of a process as possible. And I am now happily divorced! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a divorce. This is the place to go!! I'd give them 10 stars if it was an option! 🌟

I was represented by Meleah Durham, in the Superior Court of Elmore county, AL.
I was facing a prison sentence, but because of Meleah I received probation instead. Meleah was supportive, helpful, and very professional. If you are looking for an effective attorney, that's compassionate, and that will communicate with you keeping you informed. I recommend Meleah Durham..

I went to my first disability hearing without a lawyer and the judge there told me that I should not try to handle my hearing alone. I talked to a few people in the area who do this work, but Mr. Forsyth went above and beyond to be helpful and give me all the info I needed, even before I hired him to handle my case. I was happy with the decision I got back from the judge and I would recomend this firm to anyone in the same situation who needs help.

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!

After calling Mr Brinkley, he met me at my home. We discussed my need of legal assistance. From there on I had no doubt I was in good hands. 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.

John is very dynamic and obviously knows how to negotiate with the other side. He appears to be very laid back and low key; he is certainly easy to work with, but he is, in fact, a piranha - or a shark!
John had advice on what steps to take during the time I was waiting for my case to go to trial. That satisfied the prosecutor and he got my case dismissed.
Not having this issue hanging over my head and the potential repercussions is a tremendous relief.

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.

Over the courses of the years of dealing with some many attorneys and lawyers, Kimberly Ford is by the best I've ever had. The professionalism, caring about my cases, and most importantly, she was very focused on my situations. It meant a lot to me that an attorney would show much professionalism and respect towards a case. She is absolutely the most respected attorney I've ever had,
If looking for someone who looks at your case and someone to be honest with you, going above and beyond, is strictly professional, I highly and highly recommend Kimberly Ford. She is the best

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!

She will not help you. She will talk all fancy and run her mouth and laugh at her own jokes. If you don't have a lot of money or be willing to pay her in cash, then she may take your case, but she won't do anything to help you, and when you lose your case she'll blame you then tell you that you owe more money! If you don't pay she will start threatening you and may even file against you because you are a day late with your payment. She honestly believe the other attorneys in the area like her, but they have all said they can't stand her because she lies constantly and is into some pretty dirty shady business deals.

Conversations with her are rude and disappointing. She is unorganized, she blamed me for not having a case put together. Then when I received no calls from her about what the next step was. I emailed her to find out, which was met with hostility. I tried to explain that I was just needing to know what else she needed and what sort of case we were preparing. To which she responded, I don’t put any plans together for cases because they might change.
Scary to have a lawyer who doesn’t know how to prepare a winning argument. But to have someone who doesn’t prepare at all you mine as well not have a lawyer.
At the end I told her I got a different lawyer. So she proceeded to charge me the entire retainer with charges for everything she could think of. Then when I ask them why I was being charged 140$ to read my email, she said “we may not track our time very well, but we keep track of what we do.”
Then she said, “you can’t do anything about it!” And hung up on me.
I’m surprised to feel bullied by a lawyer but i guess it happens.

You'd be better off just going with another attorney. Working with Rachel was very discouraging. She and her staff are rude and unprofessional. Simply calling or email to ask a question was met with hostility, as though I were bothering them by being concerned about my case. Her prices are comparable to the prices of other lawyers, just save yourself the extra stress and find a better fit.

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.
