I had a very tuff case! I needed the very best Attorney Kenosha had to offer! As I searched the name John Caviale kept coming up. So after 3 meetings with high profile attorneys!! I just didn't feel confident, I had one more appointment set up with attorney John Caviale. From the moment I entered J.Caviales office I felt comfortable, I was treated with the utmost respect! Mr. Caviale not only gave me an hour & 1/2 of his time, he was very helpful in making sure I understood the charges I was facing! @ no point did J. Caviale try to pressure me into retaining him ASAP. All 3 earlier meetings that was the 2nd thing said after hello. Needless to say I hired John Caviale that day! As I stated earlier I had a very tuff case I was facing many years in jail & John never miss lead me or sugar coated the severity! However he worked a lot on my case always putting 110% into it. He fought my case for over 2 years, Filing several motions etc. He not only represented me in the court room, John Caviale helped me find the help I so badly needed & made sure I completed all the program's I needed. John Caviale went way over & above his call of duty. I would have to say that is what separates John Caviale from any other attorney I've seen. In closing when you hire John Caviale your not just hiring an attorney, you are hiring a caring highly intelligent very persistent well respected no nonsense attorney! I recommend John Caviale to many satisfied clients to this day!

I had a slip and fall case. John did his best on this case knowing it was very hard to win. I did have medical records, pictures where I fell with was on ice and snow. It did take 3 years but it was worth the wait. I'm very happy with the out come. I would highly recommend John Caviale.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and was injured. I know I needed an attorney but did not know who to hire. I've seen commercials for Habush on television so I looked them up on-line. The reviews were very positive, so I decided to have them represent me. I consulted with attorney Andrew Wier and he explained how my case would be handled. From start to finish the process was excellent. I was kept informed every step of the way and eventually settled my case for more than I thought. The staff is friendly and genuinely caring. If you are in need of a personal injury attorney I highly recommend Mr. Andrew Wier.

Andrew and his paralegal were incredibly understanding, compassionate, helpful, and knowledgeable about what I should do when I called them with my accident situation. I was extremely impressed at how they persisted with difficult insurance adjusters and most importantly gave expert opinions but let you decide what is best for you. I tell everyone I know that needs a lawyer that Andrew and Habush are the only people I would go to for legal representation. He even helped me with referrals for other legal matters...

The Wittmeyer Lawyers handled my accident case that occurred in 2022. The details of my accident were somewhat challenging due to being in another person's vehicle during the said accident. Mr. Payne, Terri, & associates handled the case as quickly as could be expected. I understand there were times that things can be frustrating in these cases, but Mr. Payne always spoke to me in a kindly manner & helped me understand the wording of the case records at all times as needed. As a client of the Wittmeyer Group I would recommend & reuse them again in the future if there is ever a need for this type of Lawyers. Thank you for your continued service. God Bless you all & Happy Holidays. Sincerely, Becky Gervasi-Rivard

Ron Wittmeyer and Greg LaCost are top-notch injury attorneys. I have referred a number of clients to them and the results have been consistently excellent. Greg is exceptionally skilled with difficult trip-and-fall cases… he has achieved very substantial settlements in cases that could easily have been turned down on the facts. I will absolutely continue to refer my clients to RF Wittmeyer Ltd. Daniel Wolf – Schwartz Wolf & Bernstein LLP

Being a new mom herself, when I no-called-no-showed an appointment because I misunderstood the time and place, she was more than gracious with me when I called sheepishly to see what I'd done wrong. She was so wonderful to work with - definitely recommend her!

After moving from Michigan to Wisconsin in late 2019, one of my top priorities was to revisit my Estate Planning Documents that were completed in Michigan with my family attorney there. My goal was to ensure that my documents complied with Wisconsin law. This project was a special priority for me since my wife had passed away in March of 2019, and my intent was to locate a competent attorney who specialized in Estate Planning. So I started making telephone calls to numerous attorneys in this area listed in the Yellow Pages. I had many questions for them. Finally, I found the Frozena Law Firm. After asking the receptionist several questions, I made an appointment. After my first appointment and having a very informative and productive meeting with Angela Frozena, who was very congenial and very knowledgeable. She briefed me regarding what additional information I must provide her, so we setup a future appointment for after I returned from vacation in Europe in three weeks. Upon returning from Europe, I returned to Frozena Law Firm for my second appointment. At this appointment, Angela had already received the documents from my former attorney in Michigan, and had the draft of my new estate plan prepared, and sent the documents via encrypted email to my home in Racine. After reviewing the draft documents, I returned them to the firm for finalization. At my final appointment, everything was organized and Angela had already made arrangements for the witnesses to be present. Everything went so smoothly, and I was impressed with Angela's knowledge, efficiency, sincerity and her positive attitude. Her professionalism is second to none. And along the way, Angela and I communicated via telephone and email. I was so impressed with the courtesy and respect shown to me, that I am happy to share my experiences with Angela, and to highly recommend the Frozena Law Firm to anyone in need of competent, efficient estate planning services.

When my son was born his mother refused to let me see him for the first six months of his life. The first lawyer I hired did absolutely nothing in mine or my sons best interest, so I fired her and hired Attorney Dahl. Looking back, I now know this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My only regret is I wish I would have done it sooner or just hired her from the beginning. Attorney Dahl always had my back; whether it was laying out exactly what the courts expectations were, to explaining the process and what I should expect, to answering my calls/texts/emails at all hours of the night just so I could vent my frustration with the situation, to offering flexible payment options, to taking a genuine interest in my case and treating me like family, to helping me get 50/50 custody of my son. Words alone can’t express how grateful I am for Attorney Dahl. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable, and an absolute delight to work with. With Attorney Dahl there was no beating around the bush, or making promises she couldn’t deliver, in fact she was very straightforward and blunt about what I needed to fix with myself in order to be a better person, a better father, and be able to effectively co-parent. I honestly couldn’t have done it without Attorney Dahl and am forever indebted to her. I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again, THANK YOU for everything Brenda, you truly are my guardian angel!!!!

I followed up with a phone call on October 2nd and was told that someone would call me back. I did not receive a call thus I followed up with another call on October 8th and was again told that someone would call me back. I then reached out via email on October 14th.

Anthony Nudo is an exceptional attorney who genuinely cares about his clients. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on real estate law questions, business matters, and tenant/landlord issues, and his depth of knowledge has always provided me with peace of mind. He’s approachable, professional, and always goes above and beyond to ensure you understand every step of the process. What sets Anthony apart is his ability to simplify complex legal matters, making them easy to understand. His ownership of a title company is just another example of how he extends his services to cover all your needs. I highly recommend Anthony Nudo to anyone in Kenosha or Racine County looking for a trustworthy and skilled attorney.

I was very hopeful to get a favorable resolution in my case. I was advised that my outcome wouldn't be that bad. Well, guess again, my experience was horrible. None the less Aileen isn't very responsive while assisting you with your situation. She'll take your money and drag her feet to justify why she taxed so much to handle your case. Before you decide to use Aileen. Do your due diligence on other qualified candidates in the kenosha area. She preys on people who don't have a clue or defend those who don't have money to pay,so clearly they are ok with any outcome. I paid a substantial amount to be deceived. Don't fall for the BS. It's not worth the frustration. I'm still dealing with the negative effects of this entire situation. 😒 I wish there was a 0 stars option.

I would recommend Debt Advisors for anybody who is going through a financial struggle and have no other alternative but to file bankruptcy. Attorney Georg Michael was especially attentive to my needs, and patient with my many questions. He was empathetic and non judgmental. He made what was an extremely stressful & embarrassing situation smooth & seamless. The process from beginning to end was quick & efficient. In addition, the option of payment plans is an added incentive to choose Debt Advisors.

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.
