We hired Alex Freeburg to help out with a nasty issue. My family had lost a tidy sum of money to a construction contractor who had then ghosted on us. We were worried we would not get any of our money. But, Alex got us sorted out after just a couple of meetings. He had some great ideas. Sadly, we were not able to get all of our money back. Alex made us feel a lot better while he worked on the case, and he won the judgment against the defendant. We would hire Alex again in a heartbeat.

I recently hired and worked with Alex regarding defense of a misdemeanor. Alex provided invaluable expertise, advice and assistance through the process, ultimately resulting in a full dismissal of all claims. Beyond legal expertise, Alex was kind and understanding - offering peace of mind through the proceeding. Alex is obviously passionate about his work and about his clients and is well versed in the workings of the local courts. Alex went above and beyond to get the best outcome I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend Alex's services.

Tyson was an excellent lawyer, he went above and beyond what I had expected. Tyson kept in good contact with me, keeping me informed of everything going on and explained the process thoroughly. If I had any questions or concerns, he was able to answer them for me. I feel like he walked beside me through the whole process, never leaving me behind at any moment. Tyson is very honest with all of his information given and stresses how important being honest is. He told me always, "just be myself", that is all I needed to do. I feel that Tyson gave me the very best advise that I could have been given on how to proceed with this lawsuit. I have never done this before and this was one of the hardest things that I had ever done, I hope I never have to do this again, but Tyson made it easier....took my stress load. He kept me up, even in my lowest times. I shed a lot of tears along the way, Tyson knew how to calmed my fears. Tyson explained every step we were taking together, as we made those steps. His guidelines were precise, helped me achieve the results that I was needing. He was very caring and polite, yet assertive. Tyson was always there for me, if I called, he would always return my call if he was not available at that time. He made me feel like I was the most important client he had, I am sure that is how he makes all clients feel through this process, very comforting. He is VERY good at what he does. I know that I could not have made it through this process without him by my side. I would recommend him very highly!

Tyson Logan is a very compassionate individual that gave me 100% of his legal expertise. He studied my case it was not simple, brought in many experts to help advise and gained much knowledge of my condition that he had no general information of. He sent me to the very best doctors I learned about my condition and treatment I feel would not have had this care without Tyson. The preparedness Tyson gave me before the deposition and the mediation gave me great confidence and he was right by my side. He has an ability to read people and smooth a tense situation as well as being able to talk on the same level which also makes him a great communicator. This was extremely important to me in the last days of my case. I now have a life long care plan thanks to Tyson Logan and very, very highly recommend him.

Mel is a striking and commanding individual. He dominates both in the courtroom and outside of it. I was in new York with him on a case once, walking down the street, and another lawyer heard us talk and recognized Mel. He knows the law, knows the facts, and pounds them!

Mr. Jeff Tennyson accepted a very difficult and complex personal injury case, and handled it from start to finish like a true professional. After my accident, I felt hopeless about being disabled. After Mr. Tennyson settled the case for me, it brought hope back. I fell from a poorly constructed balcony at my neighbor's house in 2006. I had a very hard time even finding an attorney to take my case, because the fall severely exacerbated a pre-existing condition in my spine, causing a great deal of pain. The fact that I had a pre-existing condition made the case much more complex. I've had Scoliosis (curvature of the spine) since I was 11 years old ... so there's really not much I can do about that! I contacted about 10 other attorneys who didn't even want the case because of it. It wasn't clear-cut, easy money. When I first contacted Mr. Tennyson and explained the situation, he agreed that it would clearly be a difficult case ... but then went ahead and took the case anyways! If ever there was an attorney who believes in bringing some form of justice to an injured party, regardless of something like a pre-existing condition that complicates the case, it's Mr. Jeff Tennyson. Becoming disabled and losing everything -- especially your ability to work -- is one of the most deeply devastating things that's ever happened to me. I went to college and had worked all my life. I had a lust for life. I enjoyed traveling, and I was a very active person. Once the accident happened, my entire life came to a crashing halt. Then it was a whole different ballgame. I ballgame I didn't know how to play: a confusing maze of doctors and nurses who may or may not help, insurance companies who may or may not help (usually NOT), and family and friends who may or may not understand what I'm going through. The pain was getting worse and worse with each passing day. Seven months after the fall, I had my entire spine fused with titanium rods in an open-back surgery. In the 2 years since the operation, I developed Failed Back Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Pain became the new constant in my life. It made it very difficult for me to deal with the litigation itself, while I'm simultaneously fighting the pain and trying to regain my health and mobility. Mr. Tennyson was always very aware and considerate of my situation. He wanted me to know that I was always in control of the decision-making in my case, but that at times when I was too sick to be very involved, Mr. Tennyson helped walk me through decisions that needed to be made. He kept me informed of the important aspects of what was going on with my case, but didn't overwhelm me with all the details. Most importantly, I felt I could trust him completely to act on my behalf while I focused on my health. That's why I say that Mr. Tennyson puts the "personal" in personal injury. He actually cares about and listens to his clients. Due to the severity of the pain after my fall, I was unable to work. I had to close the business I had just begun operating a year earlier. So, of course, I lost all my income. By the time I had the operation 7 months later, I was in so much pain that I had lost my ability to walk. My husband and I had to sell everything we owned to keep up with the bills and COBRA payments. Eventually my marriage fell apart from the stress of it all. No, it's certainly not [I]easy[/I] being seriously injured. It [I]is[/I] personal. It's hard enough having to deal with the health care system. Mr. Tennyson was so helpful throughout the course of my 3-year case. He was like the captain of a ship in stormy seas. He is honest and trustworthy, and is so responsive to the fact that his personal injury clients are real injured people -- not just dollar signs or case numbers. Whenever I had questions, he had answers. When I called his office, he was usually available. He actually reads and answers his emails. He contacted me with any new information I needed. When I was in too much pain or too sick to handle the case, he handled it for

I engaged The Ochs Law Firm to represent me in a class action law suit against Monsanto in regard to their product Roundup. The Ochs Law firm explained the process clearly and realistically. They kept us informed at all stages of the process; which was both lengthy and complex. At all times they were expert at managing expectations and at keeping us advised of next steps. Due to their hard work and understanding of the class-action process they were successful in negotiating a settlement far beyond our original expectations. I would strongly encourage you to select The Ochs Law firm if you are looking for an effective representation. You can trust them to do a superior job and to win a superior outcome.

After I paid thousands for his legal “expertise”, he tried convincing me to plead guilty for a crime I never committed. He never had my back. If I would have followed his advice, I would have lost my career. I went against his “expertise” and fought back and the case was dismissed. He was terribly responsive throughout and didn’t even tell me the final verdict; I had to call the courts myself. Save yourself the time and money and find someone else!

This man misrepresented himself as a seasoned Criminal Trial Attorney. He was paid close to 100,000 dollars and after 21 months to prepare for my son's trial, he was not prepared, did not have knowledge of the case facts, forensics, or witness statements from prosecution witnesses. At least 4 main witnesses for the prosecution had made multiple statements, none of which were consistent. Witness statements were not even consistent with one another, even after admittedly being prepped by the prosecution team. When we asked questions in regards to his negligence in questioning these witnesses about these inconsistencies, Mr. Fix had no answer. When the prosecution presented false information as to my son's expert jujitsu training and his involvement in professional football, he did not even ask for their proof of these claims. When approached again as to why he was not bringing anything into question, he became angry, upset and brought up money, the fact that we had not paid him enough to give this case his undivided attention or to hire anyone to help. My son was accused of 1st degree murder, he was to present a self defense case. Mr. Fix had ignored or was completely ignorant of forensic evidence that could have been presented but never was. He had this information pointed out to him during trial and was questioned by his client as to why he was not questioning any of the statement inconsistencies by the prosecution's witnesses, false allegations made by the prosecution and his dereliction of duty in presenting evidence, he had in front of him, during the trial. This was once again answered with yelling and anger toward his client. Mr. Fix was waiting for a plea my son would except. A plea was never considered by my son or our family. There was ample evidence to support self defense. However, Mr Fix informed me, after the first day of trial, if my son received a Second Degree Murder verdict, then he felt he did his job. The promised Private Investigator and Use of Force Expert, paid for, never materialized. One witness was called by the defense during trial, the defendant, my son. Trial took a whole four days, including jury selection. I have been told by legal experts in the State of Wyoming that my son did not even receive a $5 defense by Mr. Fix. 21 months and 100,000 dollars, of which we have yet to receive any documentation of billable hours, was completely wasted. Right before trial Mr. Fix was busy, not working on the case but purchasing his new home in Hawaii! The money, my mother's retirement, was not all that was lost. My son is now wrongfully imprisoned. Money is gone and immediately after trial so was Bill Fix. I have requested documentation for billable hours, Private Investigator and proof of due diligence. Only to receive one email asking for my address. Two years after trial and still nothing!! Shame on anyone who will readily and with intent take advantage of a family dealing with the legal and justice system for the first time. My son had NEVER been in any trouble, served his country in the Air Force with pride. With his future at stake, we mistakenly believed, trusted and counted on Bill Fix to do the job either he wasn't capable of doing or just didn't want to spend the time to do. Who knows how many years my son will have to pay for this huge error in judgment and very misplaced trust!

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.
