I have known Mr. Krenek for many years. He represented our company as our corporate attorney and has represented me personally in a complicated legal matter. The results were better than I ever hoped. He was always great to work with on our corporate issues, he kept us informed, was always on track and focused on the end result. He has prevailed against hostile judges and the legal system when it appeared there was no way to win.

Until meeting Will Adams, I completely abhorred lawyers---even to the extent of avoiding them socially. Unfortunately, a woman on her cell phone made me seek out a PI injury attorney. A referral led me to Will even though I thought Katy a bit far from my home. It is the best referral I have ever been given resulting in one of the best and most successful professional relationships and outcome I have ever encountered. He is truly an exceptionally smart and gifted attorney who respects his clients. There were times when I grew tired of the fight, yet he encouraged me to continue on. Unlike other lawyers, he wasn't more concerned about his own interests or bottom line. He stayed focused on what was best for my case and kept moving forward, no matter what road blocks we encountered. Will and his staff made me feel a part of their team, not some annoying client as others had. If you need a PI attorney, place your trust in Will. He will see you through it. You won't be disappointed. He made all the difference in the legal outcome and my life after the accident.

Will and his team are fantastic partners to work with in what can best be described as the unknown path of a lawsuit. Will walked me through the process step by step and was available to answer any questions I had about paperwork and what to expect next. Will is compassionate and tough. He knows his stuff and is not afraid to push forward on an issue. His depth of knowledge was amazing and let me know I had made the right decision in choosing his firm to represent my case. I highly recommend Will and his team.

My experience with Will Adams and the whole team at The Adams Law Firm was absolutely fantastic! I was injured in a major car accident and required surgery and several months of physical therapy to recover from my injuries. The whole process of dealing with insurance companies after an accident can be very overwhelming, especially to a person who has no reference for how to handle this situation. Mr. Adams and his team made this process as painless as possible for me and reassured me at every turn that he and his team were doing everything they could to make sure I got everything I deserved. They actually cared about my case like I was a friend and made me feel like I always had someone in my corner. They were easy to get a hold of, quick to respond, and walked me through each step that needed to be taken so that I was always aware of how my case was advancing. They contacted me periodically to ask how my recovery process was going which meant a lot to me because it showed that they cared about me personally in addition to winning my case. I could not have made it through this process without all of their help, support, and dedication.

Mr. McDaniel was an excellent choice to handle my daughter’s speeding ticket. The situation was overwhelming (multiple violations plus no proof of insurance). Mr. McDaniel was highly engaged with us throughout the entire process. He showed a willingness to have every detail taken care of, sharing information with us along the way. He went out of his way to have conversations with the prosecutor, the judge and even the court clerks. He made sure we were informed and making the right choices to result in the best possible outcome. Even after the fact he confirmed with the court that the case was truly dismissed, and emailed the proof to us, saving us another trip down to the courthouse. Having him as our attorney was the most pleasant experience I’ve had in dealing with the law, and I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. McDaniel.

He was HIGHLY motivated to seek the information we needed to make a sound choice even though he knew he would not be able to represent us in court as it was not an area he offered services for. Truly a hard worker and saved us a defeat by digging for the proper information. Highly recommend! Any lawyer who can do that in a few hrs can do wonders in a court room setting.

I worked with Morgan Hybner. From beginning to end she was very professional, knowledgeable, and I always felt like she and my back and my child’s best interest. She knows her stuff and caught things previous lawyers hadn’t before. She let me voice my concerns and told me what was possible given the circumstances and we went from there. She was not pushy and very much listened and advocated for what I wanted but was able to also let me know what wasn’t an option. Her whole office/team are very kind and professional. Even after my case was closed, I still have her staff reaching out to me making sure that things were taken care of and changes were effective. I trust Morgan implicitly and would use her and her team again in a heartbeat.

Scott Callahan represented my daughter in a personal injury action against the driver who hit her car and the relevant insurance companies. Scott and his legal assistant did a good job of keeping the client informed, explaining the law in layman terms, prepping my daughter for depositions, and handling the case in general. Overall, the firm was very pleasant to work with and we are very pleased with the settlements Scott negotiated with the insurance companies and his efforts to control litigation costs to maximize the recovery for his client. The case took 3 years to settle but I believe the insurance companies caused the delay in hopes that my daughter would settle for less. I would highly recommend Scott Callahan for your personal injury legal needs.

Very absurd experience, called them after a car accident because they have good reviews. They want to collect all the information just to ‘make a decided on if they will take our case or not’, they want everyone’s name, birthday, SSN, address, phone number, where we work, how much we make, our health insurance, criminal records etc. we had our whole family seating in the car during the accident, and they need the information of each one of us, just to ‘let the attorney review if they would take our case or not’. After I spent almost 40 minutes on the call just to provide all our family’s personal information and not still not done, I doubted myself if it’s a good idea to go with them, because apparently their attorneys cannot decide if they will take our case or not if they don’t know where we work and how much we make.

The probate case is STILL open, and all though I am an heir and named beneficiary in the will, he REFUSES to release my funds to me. I am owed close to $25,000 and Keith has taken more than $10,000 for his "services" or lack there of. He has been condescending and out right rude to me through out the process. I have a disability and he has only taken advantage of that. Stay away from this law firm at all costs!!

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.
