I would highly recommend Hall Adams. My supporting reasons are as follows: - He is thorough, on the ball, hardworking, communicative (rare with many attorneys), means what he says and more importantly does what he says. - He is experienced, personable and began work on my case right out of the gate. He had accomplished more in 4 weeks than several other firms who wasted my time by sitting on my case with almost losing my window of opportunity. My conclusion of Hall Adams is simple, after going through several attorneys who, in my opinion, where not true to their word, Hall is a Go-to kind of Attorney; he accomplished what others could not, would not or did not want to becasue it may have taken some effort. I have and will continue to recommend Hall Adams to other people based on his work ethics and based on my experience with him during our case of about 2 years. Thank you Hall!

Hall is very thoughtful and thorough. He is my first call and I refer him to all my friends and family.

He gets paid by a percentage of the recovery. So, he if he takes your case you can expect to win. In my case, the rotten insurance company initially rejected our claims but Mr. Adams was able to secure a huge settlement after litigating for 6 months. On a friends claim he ended up having to go to trial and won a big verdict.

Patrick handled all the necessary contract efforts on our home, dealing with the buyers attorney, the home owners association, etc. Patrick kept everything on track for the closing, took care of all the last minute needs, and was able to attend the closing for us, took care of everything, paid everyone, and deposited the proceeds in our bank. Great experience start to finish - everything went great!

Patrick was very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. He made sure that all documentation that needed to be provided by the seller was sent to me. Most important closing went smoothly and quickly.

Joseph Dooley helped me research and develop a malpractice case to help with a simultaneous court case where the issue was caused by said medical malpractice. He is insightful, deep-thinking, caring and provided excellent legal counsel for me in a complex case. There were times when he advised me to proceed in a certain direction and times when he advised refraining from legal action to protect me financially, even when it would be less lucrative for him. I highly recommend Mr. Dooley for any personal injury situation. He is an honest, intelligent and assertive attorney.

15 Oct, 2015 by Kevin

Joseph Dooley handled my car accident case with confidence, wisdom and empathy. . I was not at fault in the accident, but I had sustained physical injury and had a totaled car and needed someone who knew the law. Thank God I hired Joe. He knows the law, but he knows a lot more than that. He knows how to aggressively handle insurance companies and collection agencies with logic, not emotion. He knew how to handle me with an amazing combination of empathy and education. I wanted to know and understand everything that was happening. Joe instinctively knew that. He was ALWAYS available for me if not instantly, that same day. If you have ever worked with an attorney before, you will know that this quality alone sets him apart. Joseph Dooley is a brilliant attorney who really cared about defending me and about my welfare.

23 Apr, 2015 by Anonymous

Joe is an exceptional lawyer. I hired him with respect to a personal injury case in which, as a cyclist, I was hit by an automobile. Joe was highly strategic and insightful in navigating the complexities of the case. His experience proved critical in securing both a complete conviction in the criminal case (judge "threw the book" at the driver") as well as a meaningful settlement in the civil case. Joe knowledge and experience with the complexities of this process were really helpful. As my advocate he was timely, strategic, clear-headed, well prepared, thoughtful, direct and in the in - correct. Exceptional

I have had the pleasure of knowing Matt for several years. He is an intelligent, caring, effective, and professional. The legal advice I have received from Matt has always been very helpful and sound. I have referred family, friends and acquaintances, both professional and personal, to Matt for various legal services, resulting in very successful outcomes. I will continue to recommend him without hesitation.

I have had several cases over the years where Mr. Marlen represented myself with excellent results. I enthusiastically endorse Matt as an attorney. He possesses strong advocacy and writing skills that enable him to effectively represent a client. His experience and knowledge provide him with the ability to handle a variety of legal matters, from criminal cases to complex civil litigation.

If you have been in a car accident, these guys will definitely be able to help you out. They know their business and make the right moves to get you the most compensation for your injuries

04 Feb, 2011 by Maralee

As a previous client of Richard J. Grossman, Managing Partner of Steinberg, Burtker & Grossman, Ltd., he was always dedicated and determined to achieve the best outcome for me and all his clients. If you are looking for a litigation attorney that you will be confident in to represent your interests with integrity, drive and perseverance, he is the one I would call without hesitation.

28 Jan, 2011 by Anonymous

I have known and worked with Rick Grossman for the last 5 years. He has represented me, my mother and now my mother's estate. He protected my mother from aggregious legal attacks over a period of years working tirelessly and winning each legal battle thereby allowing my mother to live the rest of her life independently and in peace. Anyone who has been represented by an attorney knows you can pay for the service but you can't pay someone to care. I have worked with many lawyers over the years but have never seen a more competant or dedicated advocate than Rick Grossman. He truly cares about his clients and their legal success and works to achieve that goal every time. You can't ask for more than that.

My son’s car was hit while stopped at a traffic light and he sustained a physical injury. John properly evaluated the situation and gave us great advice with alternatives regarding how to proceed with the insurance companies. With his help, I believe, my son received the proper and fair settlement. The settlement was greater than what he would have received had we not hired John.

Mr. Skawski represented me recently. He was very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease during the entire process. He was always available for all of my questions.

22 Apr, 2021 by Erica

I’m so grateful that my path crossed with Gintare and that she took my personal injury case. There were multiple parties involved, making it a more complicated case, but she handled it flawlessly. Gintare also was very thorough with prepping me for the deposition. She’s also easy to work with and listened to my concerns. I’m very happy with the settlements that I received from the parties involved and it’s because Gintare fought hard on my behalf. I highly recommend her and will reach out to her again if I need her services in the future. Thanks Gintare!

Thank you Gintare for your excellent and thorough defense in my personal injury case! If anyone is looking for someone to represent them in a similar case, I would absolutely recommend you! I appreciated all of the time you took with preparing me for defense and how well you prepared my case. If anyone is in need of a good solid attorney, look no further and hire Gintare.

I hired Brandon Raney because last winter a woman blew a red light and t-boned me in the snow. Brandon introduced me to a doctor who helped me get better, he got the red light video that showed the other driver hitting me, he walked through the process of getting my check for my totaled car, and he was able to get a settlement for my injuries without filing a lawsuit which paid for all of my medical bills and more! He was really nice and helped me understand what was happening each step of the way.

01 Feb, 2016 by Kristine

My infant son's right arm was broken in a car collision in Elgin. I hired Cat Battista and Brandon Raney to help my son. Brandon handled the case and was able to get my son a settlement for the full insurance policy amount from the other driver without filing a lawsuit. He also handled the matter in probate to make sure all the funds were secured for my son from the settlement. I am very happy that my son is better, his medical bills are paid, and his funds are secure.

I needed estate planning and attorneys are my least favorite people. He was easy to work with and by this I mean patient, explained things to me twice if I didn’t understand the first time, and his fee was actually alot less then I’d expected. I‘ve already recommended him to a neighbor and a friend and they were content with Kens services as well.

30 Jan, 2019 by Nelson

Attorney Stoppa handled the closing on the purchase of my residential property. Ken was very thorough with the contract and discovered several issues with the property that would have been detrimental to me. He negotiated with the seller's attorney and secured a decrease in the sale price. I will definitely consider recommending Kenneth Stoppa to my family and friends.

30 Jan, 2019 by Sam manno

Ken handled the sale and purchase of our new home. Ken was on top of any questions my wife and I had. He is also very knowledgeable on real estate law and is very trustworthy. We would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others.

Jenny took on a case that every other attorney thought had no case and settled for a favorable amount. If you are looking for a personal injury or worker's comp attorney look no further than Jennifer Robinson at Rittenberg & Buffen. She is honest, reliable, trustworthy, and professional. She kept us in the loop of the workings and developments of our case every step of the way. The compassion she has for her clients is astounding and we wholeheartedly recommend that you trust Jennifer Robinson for any personal injury or work injury matter.

19 Jan, 2017 by Carol

While I was unable to pursue legal action against a former employer, Ms. Robinson was an intelligent, professional and compassionate sounding board. With Ms. Robinson's professional recommendation, I was able to pursue help from the government that seemed overwhelming and out of reach. I was at one of the lowest points of my life and I was lucky Ms. Robinson was available for a consultation.

I started to work with Mr.Zouras and his team on a Class action case in 2017. During the initial interview,he clearly explained the law and the rights of the employees. He also pointed out what law the employer has violated. Mr.Zouras is so patient, he answered all the questions I have. We finally won the case with a settlement that benefited a lot of the employees. Mr.Zouras is a tough warrior. Our case lasted almost four years, whenever I sent him an email for a question of the case, he will response me in minutes. I know we are in the good hands. Mr.Zouras always keep me updates of the case status,he is so skillful and knowledgeable. I'm so glad that I have hired the right lawyer who is the best in Chicago. Thank you.Jim. Thank you so much for your hard work. Much appreciated.

05 Sep, 2019 by Yashua

I didn't believe I had a good case until Mr. Zouras explained the laws and rights of employees, and the duties employers must guarantee, by law. Once the initial proceeding got moving, and victory was in sight, I knew I was with the right firm. I trusted in the skills, and knowledge of my attorneys, and achieved more by trusting in the process, and perhaps set a precedent for other employers that seek to violate employees vital information.

03 Feb, 2019 by Ryan

I worked with Jim Zouras as well as Teresa Becvar in a class action and won with a settlement that benefited a large group of fellow former employees. Communication was always very good and they were always helpful in answering any questions as well as preparing me for what was coming and what to expect.

25 Aug, 2016 by Patty

We were in a horrific motorcycle accident on 9/12/14. My son hired Andrew for us as he knew we needed a good lawyer. We eventually met Andrew when he flew in to take our case. He assured us that he would take care of everything for us, that all we would have to do was take care of ourselves. I almost did not live through the trauma and did not come home from nursing home till 1/5/15 and still had long road of recovery ahead of me. Andrew flew in to meet with us at the hospital, nursing home, and then our home many of times and by phone also to check in with us and assure us he would get us a good settlement. He took care of everything for us, we mailed all correspondence and bills to him and never had to worry about anything. He and his associates did everything for us. We only had to worry about ourselves and getting better. He brought in a local attorney John Foley to help in the case in case we would have to go to court here in Providence. That never happened, they settled our case in less than two years and got us a wonderful settlement that will allow us to live out the rest of our changed lifestyle in the new comfort our bodies slow us. My husband and I live in constant pain now but thanks to what Andrew did for us we can try to enjoy the new life we were given. We would recommend Andrew Kass to anyone looking for a good lawyer.

Kass and Moses helped me after I was in a motorcycle accident. They were responsive and extremely knowledgeable. They helped get me as much compensation as they could for my injuries. They really went above and beyond.

With her explanation not being terse and the detail she included, I would say she cared. Moreover, she gave me a perspective on my issue that was overlooked.

HIGHLY recommended! I’ve been using Sherwood Law for the past 2 years on real estate closings and a couple tortious interference cases. I have specifically been working with attorney Charlie Zivin who is outstanding. His attention to detail, honesty, and persistence sets him apart from any lawyer I have previously used. I was involved in a tricky tortious interference case, which Charlie did an amazing job discovering evidence and in turn ended up winning a huge settlement for me. Very thankful for this Law firm and will continue to use them and their outstanding service.

My Mother in Law had an accident while staying in a rehabilitation center (Nursing Home) due to gross negligence on behalf of staff at the rehab center. We had the pure pleasure, in a very unpleasant situation, to finding and working with Katherine Moorhouse of Taxman, Pollock, Murray and Bekkerman, LLC. Our family could not be happier with the expertise, knowledge and professionalism that Katherine exhibited for us. She worked diligently on our case and explained everything in detail to us from beginning to end. The final outcome was far greater than any of our expectations. I hope we are never in this situation again or know anyone who is, but if I do I will refer Katherine Moorhouse of Taxman, Pollock, Murray and Bekkerman, LLC.

31 Jul, 2019 by Nancy

I knew my sister was neglected and abused in a nursing home. Ms. Moorehouse truly worked hours and hours. Got medical reports and went over them word for word. Ms. Moorhouse proved that my sister had value in her life and should have not just been neglected. This might prevent another nursing home patient from the pain my sister suffered I am forever in her debt God bless her.

You never think it's going to happen to you or someone you love. And then it does. My mother's case was catastrophic. From the beginning to the end of the long process, Katherine Moorhouse worked diligently on her case. Katie carefully prepared us for depositions. Her continued concern for my mother's welfare was incredible, and it helped ease the apprehension we felt reliving the past. Katie's knowledge and experience with personal injury cases, especially nursing home negligence, was obvious. She pursued the case with patience, persistence, and determination. In the end, a landmark settlement was reached because of the firm's thorough and careful preparation of the case and Katie's deep understanding of the pain and suffering my mother had been through. If you are looking for personal injury attorneys who listen carefully and sincerely want the best for you or your loved one, I would highly recommend Katherine Moorhouse at Taxman, Pollock, Murray & Bekkerman, LLC.

I don't have the words to accurately describe my feelings about Harrison Law Offices. From the moment that I first reached out to them, I knew that I was in great hands. The office was always professional, responsive, and courteous. When I initially called to ask a couple of legal questions, I had no idea that my questions would turn into a case but when it did, I didn't hesitate to reach out to Jim, who advised and guided me through the entire process. I recall a few of the words that he told me that day. "I'm on the team," he said. Funny to say that throughout a six month ordeal, we only ever met face to face once because of the pandemic. I'm sure their normally challenging job was even more so because of the difficulties associated with the lockdowns and Covid-19 gathering rules. Every challenge was met and I am so pleased to report a positive result. I have no doubt that this would not have been possible without the efforts of Jim and his team and will be forever grateful. Jim demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the law surrounding my case from day one and, where the legal precedent was lacking (as it was in my particular situation), he had the ability and knowhow to do the research to find applicable case law in other states and apply it to my situation. It was this effort, in my opinion, that led directly to a win for my side in defense of a post-employment restrictive covenant case against me. I could not recommend them more strongly and I don't offer that type of praise often. I would not hesitate to hire Jim again and would call him for just about any legal question that I can imagine.

29 Nov, 2017 by Nick

Attorney Jim Harrison showed his intelligence, his commitment to helping us, and his understanding of the issues from day one, and I was also impressed with the his grasp of the practical implications of the situation and the limits on what was feasible. I felt as though he really listened when I spoke, and he seemed to know just the right questions to ask in order to get to the bottom of things. In my case, he was able to resolve the situation in our family's favor and for a reasonable fee. I would hire him again in a heartbeat if I needed a lawyer.

I've known Karl for a few years now. I needed a trust drawn up and Karl was recommended by another attorney for his expertise and experience (trusts can be complicated). Karl was professional to work with, explained everything clearly, was dependable and returned phone calls promptly. Recently, I began the processof refinancing my home. Unfortuately, the day before the signing date , I was advised I needed last minute additional paperwork Verified due to my home being in a trust. I was very stressed and reached out to Karl. He answered my call and handled this last minute problem so I could refinance on time. Karl should wear a cape because he rescued me from a complicated situation. Go with Karl's experience and work ethic. Your legal work is just too important!

We worked with Ed Siebert to buy and sell our home and he was wonderful to work with. My sister and sister-in-law also used Ed when they purchased homes and we are all very satisfied. Ed made the complicated process of home closings easy for us. Even with Covid-19 and our virtual closings, he explained everything to us and even made us laugh during the process :) He was available to answer any and all of our questions. We would recommend Ed to anyone and will use him again if we need legal help. Thanks Ed!!!

Mr. Whiting helped me understand my legal options before he took my case. He spend the time to understand, not only the injury and suffer I experienced from the accident, but he also helped me feel less overwhelmed and powerless with all the medical and legal issues I had to deal with. I believe that if I had hired a different law firm I would not have gotten the same personal attention and resolution to my case. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Tim Whiting represented us in a wrongful death case in the death of our 22year old daughter. He was compassionate, caring and sensitive to our situation at the time. He and his team worked very hard to get us a settlement worthy of our situation. They never gave up and we were awarded one million five hundred thousand dollars. I would recommend he and his team to anyone searching for an honest, diligent lawyer with integrity. Whiting Law group is absolutely the best!

A friend referred Mr Whiting to me in 2003 for an auto accident. He was briliiant! Tim won the case and I was very happy with results. He is the most honest and compassionate man I know. We have referred him to all our family and friends and everyone said thank you for sending us to a lawyer that cares deeply and is honest and will guide you if its not his field of expertise. Glad we have a great defense team on our side.

I experience with the Marvet M Sweis was positive from the first moment we consulted with her. Marvet was attentive, thorough, and helpful throughout a very difficult time. Her entire staff was our familiar and was with us every step of the way with insight and compassion, always responding quickly and effectively with any questions or issues as they arose. I highly recommend the Marvet M Sweis.

Nick is a very intelligent modern Day Super man. No nonsense lawyer. Very polite, respectful, professional, knowledgable and gets the job done. He delivers. He won a retaliation terminal job loss case for me and its helped me out greatly financially. He knows what to do. He knows his stuff. Life changing experience. Glad he was my lawyer.

I received a free consultation through Mr. Kreitman regarding an employment contract dispute. Mr. Kreitman called me back in a timely manner and put my mind at ease as to whether the contract was enforceable. If this matter were to become a lawsuit, I'd feel very confident hiring Mr. Kreitman to represent me.

I’m a current client of Nicks. He has not only stayed in communication constantly, but he has been able to impress me throughout the whole process. His intake was thorough. I got to watch him in court on a different matter actually where he demonstrated the ability to think quick on his feet. He is extremely knowledgeable. The guy earns every cent. He is down to earth which is the best part. A lot of other attorneys will talk down to you and opposing counsel will be rude, but Nick has always been pleasant and understanding. I would absolutely recommend Nick to my family and friends. There has not been one thing that I haven’t liked about him.

I hired Clifford and his partners at Horwitz, Horwitz & Associates in 2007. Since then he has worked so hard on my case that I knew that I was going to have the best representation. Clifford helped me understand what was going on every step of the way. When it came time for trial, I watched and listened to how much detail and passion he had for my case. I was very impressed and even though it was a very serious case, it was fun to watch him work. I can't thank him enough for what he did for my family and I. I look forward to having Clifford as a friend when this is all finished. Thank you Clifford.

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.

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.
