I cannot say enough good things about Lance Owens & the OMG law firm. He is a remarkable attorney - knowledgeable, professional & very kind. He handled two difficult family situations for us & both times, he was in our corner all the way. Often times I needed clarification for my own peace of mind & he provided that. He never left us out of the loop & whether it was an email or a phone call, he stayed in contact with us. His staff are good bunch of folks, warm & down to earth. I wholeheartedly recommend Lance & his team.

We have gone through 2 other lawyers in the area and we were very skeptical. Scott made sure my husband was represented properly. He used facts, assertiveness, and preparation to get my husband more visitation with his children among other things. You wont go wrong just trust him he will speak for men all over Arkansas!!!!!

I am very happy with how Wells & Wells handled my case. They are very professional, punctual and personable! I hope I never need them again, but if I do they will be the first people I call! I had the pleasure of having Robert Wells work on my case. Don’t let his young face fool you, he knows what he is doing! This firm is highly recommended! He’s got good ratings for a reason!

I had a car accident two years ago, and the other party refused obvious liability. I approached Robert Wells about taking action. For two years he never hesitated too keep in touch, keep me informed and go over the facts with me in detail. At the day of the trial he was extremely well prepared and on point. He was not afraid of discuss the facts or any point in the case. He was successful in bringing this case to a satisfying close. I highly recommend Mr.Wells and would gladly use him again in the future.

Hiring Ms. Henry was a last minute decision as the atty who had been handling my divorce for the previous 15 months quit to work as a corp. Atty. She dedicated herself to my case and did a wonderful job especially considering she only had about 4 to 6 weeks to prepare. I was kept informed and never felt left in the dark as with other attorneys I have dealt with prior.

This is the most straight forward and hard working attorney I have ever came in contact with. He doesn't tell his clients what they want to hear. He tells them the truth and what to expect and doesn't hold anything back. Some may not care for the way he conducts business with his clients, but he wants his clients to win and in order to do so he breaks them down and builds them back up so they will know what to expect in court. If you have any sort of domestic relations case, this is by far the best attorney to seeking legal counsel from in the state of Arkansas.

Brett McDaniel and his team proved to be caring and dedicated legal representatives that we encourage anyone with a malpractice case to contact. They stand above the others in many ways. We checked with several firms who would not take the case because of the complexity and risks. I even received a call from one of the firms that said I know what happen, it was wrong, and they wouldn’t take the case because of its complexity and required resources. The McDaniel Law Firm was one we contacted with broken hearts with hopes for representation. They accepted our case.
Brett and his team focus on case details; provide each step of the process, and risks that are involved throughout the process. They were wonderful at keeping us informed throughout the development. They would also provide approximate time windows of when we could hear a potential case status updates. Throughout our client –attorney relationship Brett and his team remained aware of our concerns and emotional roller-coaster effects we were experiencing.
Brett is a dedicated and caring person that operates outside of the box. Him and his team has a permanent spots of love and respect for the care they provided throughout the time they represented us. We recommend them to anyone who desires to have their case reviewed for representation.

Bryce took me on as a client whenever my attorney became sick, he was willing to work with me even with the short time frame it appeared we had, and within reason he was willing to work with my financial situation. I see couple reviews here I don't agree with, and attorneys are busy people, and they time things out the way they do for good reasoning. Timing/preparation with Bryce for handling tensions and best outcomes with Bryce was a 10/10
He held good composure in court and made my case heard clearly and was able to paint a clear picture without making a mess. This is who you need representing you.
Thanks again Bryce!

A few years ago He was hired to help with a divorce , he gave me false hope and made statements that just sounded good with no intention of following through . My temporary hearing was put off with no date rescheduled . He Wasn’t caring or helpful at all after contract was signed . He seems to only care about money . I am very disappointed. I had to start all over with a new attorney .

I interviewed 3 lawyers when I was looking for someone to help me with my case. Of the three, Doug was the most personable yet extremely professional. I felt like I was talking to a friend and his knowledge and professionalism made me feel confident in his ability to take care of my best interests. From the moment I hired Doug, he went to work and kept me informed along the way. He was very thorough and let me know what to expect at each step. He never sugar coated anything or made false promises. I will be using Doug for all of my legal matters from now on. Thank you Doug!
Also, his assistant Beverly was always very kind and also very knowledgable about the process. They are an excellent team!

We contracted Doug's services for a minor custody issue with my daughter, and again a year later for a lengthy, difficult adoption. Doug's retainer fee and rates were clearly communicated and more than fair. His consultation was very straight forward. Although we were victorious in both cases, he was honest about the possibilities in both cases and never promised us a positive outcome as to not provide a false hope. Doug maintained a professional attitude while not becoming unapproachable.
Doug labored tirelessly over our case. We had a very difficult adoption case that my wife and I were fearful of an unfavorable verdict. Doug applied his knowledge of the laws surrounding our case and his resources to case law, and he fought for our case. He displayed passion for the law and heart for our case that was a true comfort as we faced our 3 year battle and 3 trial hearings with MULTIPLE guardianship alterations. It was evident throughout our hearings that Doug had done his homework in reference to our situation. He was focused on the points of law and the situations in our case that would have the appropriate impact to bring about victory for our family. He is a driven attorney who loves the law and upheld the truth in every situation that we faced as we endured this trial.
His current assistant, Beverly, is just as devoted to the success of Brimhall Law Firm as he is. She gives of herself to see that his clients are properly cared for. There were times when we would call with questions and she made herself available to us and was able to answer our questions and bring us peace. She was a much needed encouragement in our times of trial. Doug and Beverly are an excellent team!
My family HIGHLY recommends Brimhall Law Firm to anyone in need. My son HIGHLY recommends Doug to anyone looking for an attorney! There is no other attorney out there that will give more of himself to your cause than Doug.

Doesn’t take the time to look at the case, doesn’t care about other people’s time, won’t even speak with people on the phone. Sadly can’t switch to a different lawyer or would lose back pay from 2018. Had receptionist call to cancel an appointment 5 min. Before she was supposed to speak to the judge because of an ignorant error on his part.

Paul Ford was a beast in court! He was extremely aggressive I’m my defense and I didn’t have to say a word before all my charges were dismissed. Stand up guy that doesn’t cheerlead. He tells you what to expect from step one. I’ve recommended him to everybody I know.

Attorney Paul N. Ford has not failed me yet! He (Attorney Paul N. Ford) and others has just recently started on my case, and I appreciate so far his/their endeavor to do what is require, and do it effectively and well. Attorney Paul N. Ford was recommended to me by another Attorney whose Law Firm was over an hundred miles away. He (the Attorney miles away) stated to me that Paul N. Ford or Ford and Cook Law Firm was one of the Best Law Firm nearest to my county. And I thank God for that great recommendation, that prompt me to place a call to Attorney Paul N. Ford Law Firm Office.

I used Paul Ford several years ago in a medical malpractice case and right before the time was up he decided he couldnt do it and instructed me to find someone else. Dealing with a death from malpractice then having to deal with an atty who pushed the limits was too much. I had to just drop the case and was terribly upset over the whole situation.

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.
