We have had the great pleasure of working with Winston & Cashatt on a few occasions over the years. (somewhat of an oxymoron as legal issues are NOT usually pleasurable!)
However, both attorneys, Mike Howard and Erika Grubbs, were deeply knowledgeable in their respective expertise, highly professional in their interactions with all parties involved and most importantly, a high standard of ethical conduct was consistently displayed.
In both cases, it was clearly and honestly communicated likely possible legal outcomes to the case as well as any specific fees involving such resolutions. Their fees are reasonable, fair, and no padding or surprises.
Frankly, this is a rare gem of a law firm that exemplifies honesty, fairness and integrity. Highly recommend!

Chuck Peterson handled my situation with the utmost professionalism. He made himself available to me even though he is very busy and addressed all my concerns. He is extremely knowledgeable and connected. He was able to enlist the assistance of his colleague to further help with the case. With his guidance I was able to avoid all charges related to false allegations against me. You cannot put a price on peace of mind and with Mr. Peterson handling my case I felt well supported. I cannot give a higher recommendation for competent representation.

Karen is really easy and professional to work with. She has a very good way of helping you understand the legal process and jargon with what you are dealing with. If you don't hear back from Karen promptly, her assistant Tara is always there to help out and make sure you don't feel left in the dark. I would recommend Karen to anyone without hesitation.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support and expertise provided by my attorney, Kelso, and his incredible paralegal Camille at Advocacy Law Center. Navigating through what feels like the most challenging and difficult divorce imaginable, their guidance and professionalism have been and continue to be nothing short of a lifeline.
From the very beginning, Kelso has demonstrated an unmatched ability to understand the complexities of my case, always providing clear, strategic advice that have made the legal process far less daunting. His compassion and dedication to ensuring the best possible outcome for my daughters has been evident at every step.
What truly sets Kelso and Camille apart is their unwavering commitment to each and every client, especially to the well-being of their clients' children. Their advocacy is heartfelt and genuine, always prioritizing the best interests of the children involved, which has continued to provide me immense peace of mind during such a turbulent time.
Camille, with her meticulous attention to detail and prompt communication, makes sure I am always informed and supported, turning what is typically overwhelming into a manageable and even an empowering experience. Their seamless teamwork and genuine care not only help me through this trying time but also continually restore my faith in not only people but also the legal process.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kelso and Camille to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly outstanding advocates for their case.
Thank you guys for making this incredibly difficult journey far easier to bear on the daily! My daughters and I thank you both from the bottom of our hearts! <3

I am so thankful for the day I walked into Kelso's office and met Camille. These two are amazing. They didn't fit a single stigma I had in my head of what a lawyer and their team would be like. Kelso is straight forward and honest, even if it's bad news. Our case was long and convoluted (the fault of the parties not Kelso) but Kelso and Camille were with us every step of the way. At the end of it all we got the arrangement that Kelso predicted we would and we are thankful for it. I would recommend this team to anyone who needs true skill in the court room. Kelso is not only a great lawyer and person to have in your corner but him and Camille are genuinely good people too. Thanks advocacy law center!

So grateful for Fred. He was kind, respectful and really came across as empathetic to my situation. His concern for not just the case, but my family's well being and my health helped me to know I was in good hands. Thanks so much for your unwavering compassion and attention Fred. The Lord was so very generous to lead me to someone like you who'd handle my case with great concern and care. I walked in your office with no money and nothing to offer, and yet you ensured I walked out in a much better situation. My family and I will always be grateful. You'll always be the injury lawyer I recommend, thanks again for everything!

Note: This is my revised review to correct typo in previous review.
I hired attorney Fred J. Lewis of Law firm Racine Olsen to represent me in a Workman's Compensation case. I suffered a life changing serious injury at work. From day one, attorney Lewis and his staff at Racine Olsen made me feel like they had my back. When I first met Mr. Lewis, I was kind of nervous. Mr. Lewis made me feel comfortable from my first visit till the end of the process. He is a good listener, excellent leader, trustworthy, professional, competent & very compassionate. Mr. Lewis spent a great amount of his time explaining everything in detail to satisfy my needs and what to expect in order for me to make my own decisions. He gave advice whenever needed; He was always responsive to any question that I had about my case in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mr. Lewis and his law firm Racine Olsen to anyone in need of competent and effective legal representation for a best outcome.

I have read some of the negative reviews about Curtis Smith's paralegal Blake. I have been a client of Mr. Smith for a number of years and have had the pleasure of talking to Blake many many times. My experience has been quite contrary to these reviews. Blake has been polite as well as respectful. Not to mention diligent in answering any questions I've had. Words cannot express my gratitude for Mr.Smith. He is amazing. And as a team he and Blake have performed miracles for me time and time again. To say I am satisfied with both would be the understatement of a lifetime. Incredible people and team for criminal defense.

We met with Ron, at Shep Law Group, for a free consultation. He was very helpful, honest and supported our needs. He was willing to suggest a next course of action, explain what our options were and give us what we needed to know if we wanted to pursue legal action or not. He was more than happy to spend time with us and give us advice even if it meant we did not move forward. I felt he was someone that was trust worthy and supportive to our issue. I will go back to Ron if we decide to move forward and I do recommend him to others.

Absolutely awful people running this place. Immature. Do not put your safety in the hands of these children. Cannot manage their own stress and take it out on their employees and their less favorable customers. Their work sucks because of their immaturity and inability to take care of themselves.

Not very happy with my divorce with Melanie who represented me. I asked her not to answer any questions from my ex who would call her wanting something explained regarding issues in the procedure. Any time he called her it racked up my fees. She had no business explaining anything to him as she represented me not him. He did not get an atty and I ended up paying for this. This was a tatic he was using on purpose to get back at me for filing for divorce. She continued to do so regardless of my request which added over $600 more to my atty fees. This was half way thru the divorce and I felt that she did not represent me as the one who hired her and did what she wanted regardless of my request. It still upsets me 3 years later. Be cautious of her integrity and make it clear who she represents and that it's not the other party.

Can't recommend Robert enough for anyone having to go through the probate process.

The first thing that struck me was that Robert was very empathetic and calm. I felt like everything was going to be ok because he would guide me through the process comfortably. I was right. He explained everything in detail, answered all of my questions, followed up with email and mailed documents and instructions, and handled his end quickly and efficiently. His years of experience showed, and gave me confidence in not only him, but in myself because I knew I had a strong counselor to lean on when needed him. And his fee is very reasonabe! I've been in situations before where the fee I was given was added onto... a lot! Not here. I very highly recommend Robert!!

Right from the beginning, Andrew showcased a deep understanding of the case, conducting thorough investigations and crafting a strategic plan. Throughout the process, he kept me well-informed, promptly addressing my concerns and ensuring I comprehended complex legal concepts.
What truly impressed me was Andrew's unwavering commitment and exceptional negotiation skills. His relentless advocacy resulted in a successful outcome that surpassed my expectations.

It has been two years and nine months since my slip and fall accident. I was fortunate enough to make contact with Russell Johnson of Johnson and Lundgreen, PC in Meridian, Idaho. I had a free consultation and was pleased to have my case accepted.
This has been a long and difficult journey to recovery. I had three major surgeries in 8 months, one infection that required six weeks of intravenous antibiotics through a PICC line along with several weeks of oral antibiotics. Pain, decreased function, depression, and financial hardship were the results of this.
Mr. Johnson was honest and upfront about the difficulty of slip and fall cases. It was hard to hear at times but I appreciated his honesty, intelligence, and integrity. I also worked with his paralegal staff (Beverly and Krista); they were AWESOME!
I have reached the closing of my relationship with this wonderful organization; I received my settlement check. Mr. Johnson fought hard for me and I shall always be grateful.

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.
