Robert was recommended to me by a friend, and my past experience with lawyers was not great, to say the least. I had always seen them (in injury circumstances) as someone who has the tools and vocabulary but essentially acts as a middle man that just takes most of what you are due. Not SO with Bob. After hiring, he was very upfront with me about the circumstances and scenarios that my motorcycle accident & claim would lead to, and he helped me every step of the way. By the grace of God, and his professional team we reached a result that was beyond satisfactory. He worked at a speed much faster than the state of California and was always one step ahead of everyone else. If you have need for a personal injury lawyer I can't recommend Bob enough. He's professional, timely, candid, and will work his hardest to make sure that you are fairly represented, and given your best chance when pitted against insurance companies and 3rd parties.

I have never engaged a lawyer for anything before, and was incredibly reluctant to do so. But on the advice of friends after several months of trying to get a resolution on my own proved frustrating and fruitless, I got in touch with Bob to help sort out medical bills from a bike/auto collision. Bob was thorough in his explanations, incredibly responsive and refreshingly realistic at every stage about possible outcomes. Thankfully, the situation was resolved in my favor - but even if it hadn't been, I would have been very pleased with Bob's professionalism and service.

I hired him for a difficult case and he has worked hard on the case. He keeps me updated, which is rarity with attorneys. He is highly energetic and wonderful at working the case that other attorneys lacked the knowledgeably to hit all the angles. (I did a lot of lawyer shopping for the right one.) I was very impressed and if needed will use him again.

Jason Harris is a knowledgable, honest, reliable, and hardworking attorney that will fight hard for his clients. He responded immediately (answered the phone and had an appointment within an hour right before a holiday weekend) to our urgent needs for legal help with our home fire. The insurance, restoration companies, contractor and fire industry proved to be ruthless and have some very dishonest people that take advantage of the traumatic event such as a fire regardless that you pay your premiums and your entitlements of your policy. My family is forever grateful to Jason E. Harris and his staff for saving our home, assuring it was rebuilt to a healthy state, making sure we had the same standards of living accommodations during our displacement, and recovering the monetary needs to move back to our beloved home.

She was very helpful and informative throughout the process. She guided me from the beginning to the end of my insurance settlement. She really went the distance to get me the best result, which I am very happy with. I did get the result I was looking for in the end.

Mohamad is an exceptional lawyer. He goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy. He works well with his team. The team checked up on me regularly from start to finish to see how I was doing physically as well as mentally. They went above and beyond to accommodate me and my needs. Mohammad did a great job of negotiating my settlement and got me more than I expected. I never felt rushed or stressed because Mohammad kept me updated on the case regularly and always gave me direction when I needed advice on what would be best for my needs. I will have to say that this was my best lawyer experience. I would recommend him to anyone who has suffered a personal injury.

I had a bicycle accident due to a neighbor's dog(s) charging me in the roadway causing a fall and significant damages to me. The neighbors are very nice people, but I decided to pursue a claim with their insurance company. I thought about trying to pursue my claim directly with the insurance company but decided that was not wise. Since I did not have a lawyer, I used AVVO to find Dave Brassfield who had a strong numerical rating and outstanding personal recommendations. Additionally I could find nothing negative concerning his practice. Dave was very professional and was able to achieve an amazing settlement in which the net proceeds were about 6 times the amount I thought I might achieve on my own. And he handled everything quickly, professionally, and without hassle. If you are in an accident and need a good lawyer, see David Brassfield. He has my strongest recommendation.

He works very hard to make sure your interests are his interests. His staff is always so pleasant to talk to and work with as well.

I will keep this as brief as possible. My injuries were so devastating and life changing that I wanted nothing more than to forget about them. This "forgetting" included attempting to ignore any and all aspects of my case. To be honest, I would have quit my case just to be left alone and to be able to move on with my life. It didn't help that, in typical fashion, the defense had done everything in their power for years to blame the accident on me. After years of this and refusing to settle, the case finally went to trial in early 2013. If I remember correctly, it took a couple days of jury selection and on a Thursday or Friday Sean made his opening arguments and began examining expert witnesses. Long story short, when the weekend was over and we came back to court on Monday, the defense was ready to settle! It took a couple days of Sean putting witnesses on the stand for the defense to come to their senses. My life has changed dramatically since then...and for the better this time. To reiterate, I wanted nothing to do with this case for years and IT WAS MY CASE! Sean worked tirelessly for me and my life and I was THE most difficult client to work for. He never quit even when I wanted to. To this day I don not believe I would have won my case with anyone else fighting for me. These days I consider Sean one of my very good friends and I am endlessly thankful for his support.

Eryk successfully fought these cases and allowed me to get my drivers license back so I can continue driving professionally and supporting my family. He was great, patient and well worth the money. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in trouble and anyone who is facing stiff consequences for mistakes that they made, like I did.

I could not be any happier or any more satisfied with my visit/consultation with John Martoccio. John had an answer for all of my inquiries. And the 1 or 2 items that he was unsure of, he made sure to follow up with me after doing research on my questions the following day. This office is located in the heart of downtown Hinsdale and has a very inviting feel and atmosphere. John's paralegal, Racine, greeted me as I walked in and John was out of his office to shake my hand within a minute. I never felt rushed, nor did John make me feel like he was pressed for time or that he had more important matters to tend to, although I know how busy he is. John made sure to provide me with all forms on contact information for himself and his office in case I had any further questions or inquires. John always makes himself available and truly devotes all his attention to you when you are in need of council.

I have found myself twice in post-divorce issues regarding child support. At least for me they were both very difficult, frustrating and stressful times as I believed both parties were capable of resolving all matters amicably outside of a courtroom. I live out of the state of Illinois and needed a firm that could represent my best interest. I am grateful I selected Martoccio and Martoccio, and for all that have done on my behalf. I have worked with John Martoccio, Ross P. Schreiter, Beverly Ecton Strasser, and Racine Lambert-Cwerenz over the past several years. Each has provided me with the highest integrity, ethics and professionalism in their effort to help me navigate my personal legal needs. During my most recent circumstance, however, I received word late on a Wednesday afternoon, before a scheduled Monday morning court appearance, that the Respondent wanted to resolve matters without making a court appearance. This eleventh-hour request sounded great, but put a huge amount of responsibility on the shoulders of Beverly Ecton Strasser. Beverly did not hesitate to take command of the situation to reach a positive resolution by the Friday afternoon deadline we not had. This required she do further research, crunch numbers, prepare documents, get my approval, share such documents with opposing council, receive back the documents with proposed changes, update documents and submit them again to me and to opposing council. It was indeed a lot but she was able to do it all to the satisfaction of all parties involved. It meant a lot to have such efficient, professional, and personal attention extended on my behalf while out of state. Without reservation I whole-heartedly recommend Beverly and the entire Martoccio and Martoccio firm for your Divorce and Family Law needs. Mark

He thoroughly went over all our information and what our options were as well as his exact costs and process.

As we went through the process, filled out the papers, attended the meeting, he was with us every step of the way and explained everything in easy and clear language.

Mark Schneid of Law Offices of Mathys and Schneid is an outstanding lawyer! I had the pleasure of hiring Mark to represent me in my case. I hired Mark right before my statute of limitations was set to expire on my motor vehicle accident as I had hired another firm to represent me in the beginning, that law firm did not work out well for me forcing me to discharge them at the last minute leaving me scrambling to find a law firm to represent me. I’m extremely grateful Mark came highly recommended by a friend of mine, after my initial consultation and discussing my case with him, I knew at that moment Mark was the lawyer I wanted and needed to represent me. Mark and his team got right to work and was able to file suit before my statute of limitations was set to expire. I was involved in a life altering motor vehicle accident several years ago leaving me with a torn rotator cuff, spinal cord injury, the onset of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, PTSD, and anxiety related issues. I can honestly say Mark brings a compassionate approach in dealing with his clients, he truly cares and it shows! Mark was always there to answer any questions in a timely manner, he and his team kept me informed on the status of my case, and Mark always wanted to make sure I was doing alright. I witnessed Mark’s experience in the litigation and negotiation process first hand with the defendants lawyers, Mark was outstanding! He was very aggressive and fought extremely hard to maximize the compensation that I deserved. If you are looking for excellent representation for your litigation needs, please consider Mark and his team and obtain the best and most aggressive representation as I did. I highly recommend Mark Schneid of the Law Offices of Mathys and Schneid.

“I was struck by a car while cycling and severely, almost fatally injured. A team of excellent medical professionals performed complicated and extensive surgical and medical procedures as part of a successful effort to restore my health. In the midst of all of the pain and effort associated with recovery, I had to shop for a personal injury attorney. I was looking for a respected professional to handle my case and ensure that I not only recovered appropriate financial damages to cover my medical costs but also compensation for pain and suffering. Mark Schneid was not the only attorney I talked to, but he was certainly the best. Upon interviewing Mark I knew immediately that he would not only represent me and look out for my best interests, but that he also cared about my recovery and the successful outcome of my case. Mark is a passionate, bright and hardworking professional with excellent knowledge of personal injury law. His vast legal knowledge, trial experience along with medical and insurance industry knowledge quickly and efficiently guided us through the process resulting in significant risk mitigation and a positive case outcome. His easy going style and articulate communications puts everyone at ease and provides him with a clear advantage in negotiations, while his meticulous approach and attention to detail ensures that nothing is overlooked. During the time he represented me, Mark repeatedly proved that he was knowledgeable, experienced, honest, ethical, and committed to my cause. Most importantly, his negotiating skills made a huge difference in our financial settlement. Everyone on the Mathys & Schneid team is a pleasure to work with, especially their paralegal Carrie King. Carrie’s research and investigative expertise was invaluable to our case. Her excellent communication and writing skills ensured that I stayed informed and up to date and her attention to detail guaranteed that nothing was inadvertently missed. Mark and his excellent support team really came through for me. He is just the kind of counsel you want on your side… knowledgeable, personable and tenacious.

As an attorney, there are a few attorneys that I have come to rely on when it comes to referring cases to. Most attorneys, including myself, do not practice in every area of law. But, that doesn't mean we don't want anything but the best for our clients when we cannot help them with a particular matter. I have come to know Mark through a fellow attorney. At the time, I did not know any attorneys to refer my clients who had personal injury cases or were in need of an attorney to handle a medical malpractice case. When I met Mark, I knew he was the right attorney to send these cases to. I was impressed by his knowledge of the law and the practical nuances that come with years of experience. Mark is not only personable, he is also a bulldog in Court. He knows how to get results for his client. He is also highly respected in the legal community. Mark is also one of the finest trial attorneys I have seen in person. He understands how to present a case in way that people can relate to, no matter how complex the issues are. I highly recommend Mark to anyone seeking an attorney for a personal injury case or a medical malpractice. In fact, I only recommend Mark to clients in need of such services because I know the clients will be in great hands.

What would have been a lost case turned to my favor with Cary's detailed review, persistence and tenacity over a 1-18 year period. I'm so glad that he represented me! I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

I consider myself fortunate that she was my lawyer. My case seemed insurmountable. I was here for years and didn’t have documents and several lawyers told me that I don’t have a way of staying even though I was paying taxes for years. It turned out that because my father was sponsored when I was a minor, I had a way to stay with paying a fine. In the end things worked out because this lawyer appeared to have read all this laws and knew the law that helped me.

Sofia and Mehriban the two paralegals who represented my case. They are both brilliant they will do everything in there power to help. They made sure they used every possible angle to get my case approved. They were there every step of the way and always there to answer questions. I would recommend them in a heart beat for any immigration case. They both are very knowledgeable. I filed a petition for my wife who was out of status and I was a citizen. Once again if you have any immigration problem go to them. They will help you.

I cannot express my gratitude for the work she did for me. Thanks to her I was able to bring my husband back to the US even though he had a deportation and was deported. My lawyer had encyclopedic knowledge of the immigration laws and was able to get him back. She filed two waivers and both were approved! It was nothing short of a miracle!

I owed a company a nearly $10,000. Ricardo negotiated a settlement that was a fraction, much less than half, of the amount. Hopefully, I'll never have need for his services again, but if I do, he's my guy.

I was introduced to Dedrick through a friend and from the very beginning he was very friendly, informative and helpful. I never sensed he was the kind of lawyer that wanted to just swindle me out of money. He was upfront about his fees. He didn't take advantage of me and try to get money every time he saw me. His fees were resonable, he stayed in constant communication, and he was very accomodating amd always willing to work around my schedule. He was professional, personable, very easy to talk too, but most importantly he was trustworthy. For years I'd been looking for an attorney to help with my divorce and everyone I came across had some unreasonable retainer, wanted money every time they saw me, and just didn't seem trustworthy. I'm soooo happy I met Dedrick. He made the process easy and quick. I would recommend him to everyone I know with no hesitation.

I had never been involved in anything court related in my entire 60 years. I got injured quite significantly & had no clue how anything worked. I am so glad Lauren was my attorney. It was like working with a friend who knew exactly what to do. She never acted like my zillion questions from start to finish were ever a problem no matter how scared I got she was my rock. I never waited more than a few hours for any answers to my questions and she usually responded within minutes! Her knowledge and expertise brought my case to an excellent conclusion. Although I hope I'm never injured again if it should happen I would without hesitation contact Lauren again.

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.
