Bertram & Graf are a G-d send. They helped me & thousands substantially to receive compensation for hearing damage unfortunately as a result of 3m hearing protection [the irony]. Matthew, Tim, Kandy, Bianca, Steve were all instrumental. Their team is impeccable. They’re professional, responsive, have great communication, and are extremely helpful. I’m blown away by this team. A million times over THANK YOU Bertram & Graf.

Unfortunately this firm has poor communication with clients. Especially true if you’re a claimant in litigation case where significant amounts of money are owed to you.

It's with great disappointment that I have to write this review. We used Doug previously and he was able to achieve a settlement on our behalf, albeit a small one in comparison to what we believe we deserved. After he got paid, communication completely discontinued. We received a 1099 that included the money he was paid. We had to pay taxes on this. It was not insignificant. We reached out to him about this. No response. We also contacted him in regards to another potential claim. No response.
Unfortunately, it's our opinion that his law firm is a perfect example of "take the money and run." Absolutely no communication after they got their money.
Sad. It's especially sad because we were treated like friends all the way up to the settlement. 100% fake.

Professional, accessible and they treated me with respect. From the first moment I met Doug and Tina I knew I had made the right decision to have them represent me. Doug is very smart and experienced which is what we all want in our attorneys, but he also has a great personality and a great sense of humour. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.

I was relieved when Tina Carter walked me through the process of my case. She was one of the first to apologize for what had happened to me. Tina and John never made me feel stupid nor acted as if I was wasting their time. They answered all of my questions and always got back to me if they were busy. Because of the way they treated my case and myself, I stuck it through. I would recommend them and if you want to be taken seriously, they will deliver.

He treated me in the most unkind way. The reviews on here have to be FAKE. I had a case where my daughter was o the spectrum and was bitten by a dog and he rushed me to settle and then threatened me. All that I got out of that was a couple hundred dollars. I think he knew the doctor who owned the dog. .

Since 1984, Michael Fatall has represented me in a handful of matters. Two of those cases went to trial. I can say, with experience in numerous cases, that if you want great representation, the Fatall firm is the one to choose.

Contacted Mike prior to meeting with him and explained who dr.'s were involved over the phone. Stated that I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Met with him. However, wasn't told there was a conflict of interest until after he reviewed my medical records when I called him the next day. Dr.'s involved didn't change from one day to the next.

Would not recommend hiring. Delayed my court process by 6 months not at my request. Continued a court and did not bother to tell me so I went to court only to find out the date had been continued and never told why. Asked questions on multiple occasions and the attorney never bothered to respond. Never knew what was going even when I was asking. Most terrifying and helpless feeling in the world. Do not hire this attorney. Would do better to represent yourself.

I hired this Caitlin and was extremely disappointed with her services. Not only did she push the boundaries of ethical and legal conduct, but when confronted about it, she had the audacity to blame it on her clients. It was clear that she was more concerned with her own success and reputation than with providing honest and legitimate representation. I would strongly advise against hiring her for any legal matters. Her lack of integrity and accountability are concerning and make her unfit to represent clients.

Nancy won a wrongful death suit for $350k (the cap in KS). Negotiated effectively and quickly. Personal style with me as client was unorthodox and a tad dismissive, but she got the job done. Would go to her again, but prefaced by setting ground rules for atty-client communication.

We consulted Nancy Kenner regarding a medical malpractice case. She appeared reasonably knowledgeable but did not keep appointed times for return calls, etc. Therefore, we decided it best to consult and hire another attorney.

I fell out of a tree while working for a company called Cornelison Roofing. We were cutting some trees down and away from home we were working on. A branch that had been cut fell into my ladder while I was on it, 24 ft in the air. The branch twisted my ladder and I fell. When I hit the ground my forearm received a compound fracture. The company had no insurance or workman's comp. So I hired Russ Purvis. To make a long story short ,Russ represented me through several hearings and a deposition of Rick Cornelison the owner of the company. This case was dragged out for 4 years. Me. Cornelison kept telling a different version of what happened to the Judge. We finally caught him in a lie and the Judge set a date for final judgement hearing. Russ contacted me and said the hearing would be about 5 weeks down the road. And that he was pretty sure we would get a favorable judgement. But finding Mr. Cornelisons money could be a problem. The last thing Russ said was he would contact me with the final hearing date. I waited for several months and was never contacted. Finally I called Montee law firm where Russ Purvis was working and his former paralegal told me he had quit the firm a few weeks earlier, and that he quit my case, and that he informed me he was quitting through the mail. She or He or both, lied to me. I received no notification at all. And why would he leave my case when the last hearing was about to happen, with a favorable outcome forseen? Also it was past the time limit for me to hire a different attorney . Now two years later I've got bill collectors hounding me for the 82,000 dollar surgery and rehab that was incurred because of my injury. And now my arm hurts me constantly. So bottom line is I think there were some shady dealings going on between Russ Purvis, and Rick Cornelison. I did find out they grew up in same area together, and it just doesn't make sense why Russ would quit my case when judgement was so near. So if anyone has any ideas I'm open to suggestions on what I should do.

In the summer of 2008 my late husband Cecil and I were involved in a severe motor vehicle accident that totaled our only vehicle. We were both injured and required prolonged hospital stays, resulting in huge medical bills. Mr. Purvis came highly recommended to my husband and I. We were not disappointed, he met us in our home and explained to us the situation and how he would handle our case. Mr. Purvis put our minds at ease. Within 3 days he had a check for our totaled vehicle that he hand delivered to our home. Mr. Purvis fought the insurance to make sure that we got the best settlement. We are very grateful for his hard work and the personal attention he showed to my husband and I. I have and would continue to recommend Mr. Purvis to anyone in need of a hard working and caring attorney.

I was injured in a car accident in April of 2011 I hired Mr. Purvis to represent me in this case. A person pulled out in front of me and I suffered a broken arm. I had to have surgery to repair the broken bone. I was out of work for almost 4 months. My car also suffered quite a bit of damage, luckily Mr. Purvis and his team were able to get my car fixed in a timely fashion, even though the insurance company tried to drag their feet. I was overwhelmed by how much he seemed to care about my situation, he listened to my story and my concerns. He and his team were always available to answer any and all of my questions. He handled the conversations with my and the other persons insurance company to have my car repaired, obtaining a rental car while mine was being repaired, and also recovered a sizable settlement that helped with my lost wages, car repairs, hospital bills, and overall distress of the situation. I definitely recommend Mr. Purvis for your legal needs. He and his team are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, expirienced and just overall incredible!

I started working with Sam 2 years ago before he started working at Dipasquale Moore. My case lasted just under 2 years. My settlement was just last week. Sam admitted that he was not communicating well with me. This lasted for nearly a year and half before another attorney from his firm had to take over my case. Would not recommend.

I hired Ken to help with my divorce and child custody. His fees were very reasonable, he worked with me on payments, and did a great job. Not sure about others who say he took their money, but that's not what my experience was. Also, Ken would return calls in the evenings and on weekends, something you usually don't expect from an attorney. Great job, great lawyer!

Very arrogant. Did not listen to what I told him. Didn't file important papers. Said he would take care of it but didn't. He has a reputation for when I sought another lawyer they were aware of his shortcomings. Wished I would have known this before I hired him and wasted my money.

This attorney is arrogant and abrasive to his clients ( especially women and children). He will have cases continued repeatedly to increase his billing hours. Several office appointments where we reviewed the same facts repeatedly. Court day was sloppy, and unprepared. Opposing attorney entered several pieces of evidence with no objections that should have been . This made an appeal hearing difficult. He forgot to call my witnesses, and enter some key pieces of evidence we had. This attorney at this point in his career seemed more focused on fraternizing than winning my case.

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.
