I am not sure what I would have done without Jordyn's assistance as I moved through the difficult process of divorce. Her compassion and understanding always put me at ease but did not keep her from being tough as needed. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

Jordyn is simply the best. She is very thorough and detail-oriented which is a must when getting legal representation. If I ever need help again, I will definitely be reaching out to her right away.

This lawyer was excellent. I was very sorry to see her go when she took maternity leave. I felt like she cared about me and stayed in my corner during a difficult time in my life. I struggled to understand the process of divorce, what was important and what wasn't, what "looks good" and what doesn't, etc. Nothing was intuitive for me, but Leah was a guide and a counsel. Her rate was very affordable for this industry and she was efficient. If you're looking for a compassionate and empowering attorney, I highly recommend Leah.

I reached out for help on avvo about a personal injury . Originally we were assisted by a law firm in Indianapolis but for some unfortunate reason they transferred our case to Lance Worland. We (my wife and I) signed a contract with Mr Worland. Well I must tell you that I and my wife were absolutely thrilled with this attorney. Not only was he polite and always willing to answer questions but he was astonishingly fast to get us restitution and payment for our injuries. When I say astonishingly fast I mean within 120 days we reached a settlement agreement and got paid. We are very very happy with the results. His rates were fair and we didn't have to pay anything up front. His expertise in this area is very admirable. From day 1 I told him I was a straight forward man. He was also straight forward with us. If he thought something was wrong he let us know. His advice saved us alot of headaches and pain. I recommend Mr Worland for any personal injury claim you may have because without his help we would be in major debt with medical bills and No Car. Thank you for everything you did for me and my family Mr.Worland.

Lance and everyone at his firm is awesome. They helped me and was extremely kind. When my wreck happened I called 6 lawyers and lance was THE ONLY ONE not begging for my case which involved 3 people. He told me I could call and ask him for advice anytime I needed, he never brought up me hiring him. I made the choice to and it was the best one I could of made. I want to say thank you to lance, Monica, and everyone else who helped me. I would give 100 stars I'f I could and I definitely will recommend him to anyone.

I was referred to Lance after another Attorney had turned me down. Lance looked over my case and assured me that he could help and man-o-man did he. Not only was he able to secure a maximum settlement from the car owner's minimum state coverage but his diligent research found that the out of state driver of the car had additional insurance that he could access. Lance turned what was thought to be a lost cause into a sizable settlement that adequately compensated me for my injuries. Lance is a kind, compassionate and highly competent attorney that will move mountains to get his clients what they deserve. Do yourself a favor and put "Lancetastic" in your corner and never look back because your expectations will be blown away. Thank You Lance!

After having a dificult time finding a federal worker’s comp attorney, I was referred to Joe and hired him after our initial consultation. He accurately explained to me the process and what to expect. He was very responsive and patient along the way. He secured a successful outcome for me and will happily refer him to others.

Mr. Allman is professional and knowledgeable with federal cases. He charges as he goes, not like some $2500-$5000 upfront like some have asked for. This really helped us as a family. We have not completed the oral hearing as yet but he guided me to do this first. I feel I have chosen wisely. I trust him.

I was referred to Mr. Krahulik from a larger law firm that felt like my case was not important enough for them. Sam got on what was a very unusual situation and gave the help that I needed. I tried to work it out with the company myself , and soon realized I was being lied to and mislead. After being left in the dark and completely ignored, by a company that had every intention of cheating me out of my money, Sam was able to do through legal system to bring these people to justice. I am not one to sue at the drop of a hat. Sam was honest, informative, and straight forward. He gave me good legal advise, answered all my questions, at no point did I feel that he was not totally trustworthy. I can not say that about other legal representation that I have received in the past. I truly believe if he takes your case you are in excellent hands. Being an inventor I regularly seek legal council in different matters. Sam's involvement was not an invention situation , but was very helpful none the less. Sam and my current patent attorney are the only 2 lawyers that I completely trust without hesitation. In the last 30 years I have dealt with over 2 dozen lawyers. I owe Sam absolutely nothing for this recommendation, nor does he owe me. It is very difficult to find a good, honest lawyer, Sam is one of the few.

Tony changed my views of what an attorney is all about. I have had bad experiences with attorneys. Tony is none of the "stuff" people hear about their representation by an attorney. You can be confident that when you hire Tony, he will fulfil his responsibilities. After working with Tony, I feel like I worked with a friend. I totally trusted his professionalism. Rest assured that your case won't be pushed aside or you won't be informed of the progression of your case. I am totally satisfied and you will be too.

Tony helped my family reach a settlement after a semi struck our car. Our injuries were very significant and my oldest daughter was hospitalized for about 3 months. I am on disability now. Throughout the entire process, starting with the initial visit in the hospital I felt extremely confident with Tony in every possible way. He was always there for us in taking calls, returning them, or meeting with us promptly. He was confident and VERY knowledgeable. He explained the process and anything that we didn't understand. He was professional & also supportive. He helped us THROUGH everything. We were/are very happy with the settlement we got. There are no words to explain how wonderful it was to have him as our attorney. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone.
My little girls loved him too. That was really helpful when most of the case was about my 10 year old. He was great working with her and she was totally comfortable working with him...not every attorney has that kind of rapport with children.
HIRE HIM if you need a personal injury attorney!

I knew nothing about the long term disability process before I hired Mr. DuBach. My long term insurance cut me off and it was a terrible experience for me and my family. The insurance company harassed me and I just didn't know where to turn. After months of not knowing what to do, I found Mr. DuBach in the phone book.
When we first met, he was honest about my chances- he felt it was a bad policy, but said he would do the best he could. Him and his wife, Lesley (paralegal), were so kind and kept me informed during the entire process. I hired him March 2013 and my case was just settled a few days ago.
Thank God for Mr. DuBach's help- I wouldn't have my money without him. I'd recommend him and the entire law office to anyone in need of advice or legal help. Thank you again!

My Mom referred me to the Hankey Law Office. I have never worked with an attorney so I wasn't sure what to expect. I met with Mr. Hankey originally and Mr. Dubach represented me at the hearing. He was a FANTASTIC advocate. I won my case at the hearing level and I owe that to the Hankey Law Office and Mr. DuBach.
The staff kept me informed during the appeals process. They helped with the paperwork, ordered my records and prepared me for the hearing. I was very nervous to go in front of the judge, but Mr. DuBach answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I can't thank him enough for all he's done for me.

Chris and his Para-legal Ashley were great to work with. Most of our contact was with Ashley who handled all questions and advised us as the case progressed. Chris was great at the deposition and the pre-deposition set my wife's mind at ease since she has never been in a legal setting. The mediation went well with Chris there for us. He was straight forward and we appreciated that. I would recommend this firm to my family and friends but hope no one ever has to go through a situation like ours.

When I needed an attorney to represent me in my emancipation request I had to look no further than next door. Rich Bucheri and Elizabeth Smith stepped in and represented me in the most professional way I could've asked for. Never once was anything mailed or faxed without my approval first. By handling my case the way they did Rich Bucheri and Elizabeth Smith were able to keep us from going to court and an agreement was reached prior to our court date. Thank you for the great service.

Mr. Crell really did good for us. He was really good about keeping me updated and was good about listening to what we wanted and needed. He's a good guy and I'm glad I found him.

I’m so grateful to Laura Conyers and her team for helping me and my family through the most difficult time of our lives. When my father unexpectedly died after a medical procedure, I knew something wasn’t right. The first couple of lawyers I contacted turned down the case because they felt it was too complicated. I was so frustrated because I knew in my gut and in my heart that my father and my family had been wronged. We met with Laura who listened compassionately and attentively to our story. I liked that she was a lawyer with a nursing background who truly understands how healthcare works. I was impressed with her attention to detail and her dedication to our case. She was upfront and honest about the entire process and told us exactly what to expect. While nothing will bring back my father, I sleep better at night knowing my mom has the financial resources she needs. I highly recommend Laura and her team.

Laura was hired by us after our son suffered an injury in the NICU when he was a week old. Laura helped us remain hopeful because she didn't back down. She worked hard for us and quickly. I am still amazed at how our case was resolved so fast. Medical malpractice laws in our state aren't the most appealing, but she still worked hard for us and our son. She was tactful, but headstrong from day 1. She did everything she could to hold the hospital and staff accountable for their negligence. Not once, did I sense from her that this was about her firm or just the monetary end. She has a heart for those that have been mistreated. She also was great from the client/professional standpoint. I felt like I could access her help and ask her questions directly at any time. We won our case and I am so thankful that her persistence and knowledge aided us like it did. We are forever grateful.

Mr. Johnson was always available, business hours, evenings, weekends and even Holidays. He would acknowledge any questions or concerns I had via, telephone, e-mail or even text messages, in a timely manner. Being a very complex and complicated case, there were few moments when he was not personally knowledgeable regarding a specific area, he advised me of such immediately, however he would then seek out the necessary information or persons whom where knowledgeable to keep things moving forward. He would always keep me informed as well as guide me. He never faltered. I always felt he was in complete control of any given situation of the case which seemingly branched in a multitude of directions and was extremely complex. He was thorough, confident and always committed. When I would need some sense of assurance, Mr. Johnson was able to provide that security. His staff being as top notch as he is. Always friendly and quick to respond. They gave me a sense of security as well and I felt they became more than only my legal representation. I would and have recommended Mr. Johnson to others and will continue to do so. He is absolutely an individual deserving recognition of being an Attorney others would benefit modeling themselves after.

Ms Graziano has represented me on two separate occasions. I never felt like a client only, rather I was treated with dignity, respect, and genuine empathy. Sarah went out of her way to ensure not only that I be fairly compensated for my claim, but in the long process that is our judicial system, was always available to offer advice and moral support , I have recommended Ms Graziano and her firm to my daughter and would in the future to any friend or family member who was looking for legal help that is both personal and very professional.

I was in a car accident my wrist and hand were injured. Mr. Flores assisted me with getting my medical treatment paid for and the maximum money the insurance company would offer for my vehicle to be repaired. He was patient with my questions and got my case closed in a few months shy of a year a friend of mine was in a similar situation and did not have his case handled as quickly or efficiently. I admire Mr. Flores and his team for their professionalism and one on one service.

I have personally known John for 30 years. We were very close friends growing up in Indiana and shared many of the same passions. Two of which were basketball and water skiing, where we were High School teammates and summer companions. John comes from a great Family, with values and ethics. His Dad afforded me my first "real" paying job cooking chicken! I say this because John, and his Family, are always willing to help, period. As a result, he has built a tremendous Law Practice with some of the most talented lawyers in the State of Indiana. I say this too, personally speaking, because John and one of his highly talented lawyers have represented not one, but two, of my own Family members with disability concerns. As a Vice President of Investments, I naturally refer my valued clients or their loved ones to John without blinking an eye. If I Trust him with both my clients and my Family, there really isn't a better thing I can say about his Law Practice, or for the matter, him as a person.

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.
