Incredible lawyer and attorney. My experience with Evan was out of this world. Could not imagine working with anybody else. On a personal level felt like a friend I have known my whole life. On a professional level very doo diligent and efficient, always presented information in an effective way that someone without knowledge of law could understand and grasp clearly. He makes the process of injury go very smoothly and is understanding of the experience you are having that leads you to him emotionally and logically. Presented the facts accordingly and will give you control of a situation that might feel out of control. I am so grateful to have found him and highly recommend to seek Evan out for help and assistance.

Evan was recommended to us by an old friend who knew Evan quite well. We had a large claim against a major insurance company, and Evan navigated the whole process with stellar performance, professionalism, accuracy and, all along the way, with high deference for the laws governing our claim. Now, we join the many who highly recommend the Law Office of Evan W. Walker.

Unfortunately, I had suffered an injury caused by being on the wrong side of a car accident. I had been looking around at major firms to represent me and was either met with automatic replies or days of waiting for a response. Evan Walker had immediately replied with a phone call and listened to my story. He was extremely empathetic and treated me like an actual human instead of a case. During the whole process, Evan was continually checking in on me to update and explain complicated terms and processes in ways that anyone could easily understand. He also checked in on my health as I had been dealing with recovering from this injury and still am. It seemed that was just as important to him as the actual case was. You can tell Evan is not only an attorney but someone who really cares about the people he represents. Ultimately, he helped me reach my desired settlement in a timely manner. I felt extremely comfortable working with him and I honestly could not recommend him enough!

I recently moved across the country to San Diego and started a business so getting a great/trusted lawyer was high on my priority list. Kris Mukherji was highly recommend to me by a friend and I'm so thankful we connected. I needed help setting up and S-Corporation for my business and someone to review a purchase agreement. As a first time business owner I had a lot of questions and Kris was always so quick to respond and make sure I understood everything. My S-corp filing was done with hardly any effort from me and was filed in no time. My purchase agreement review ended up being must more involved than we had anticipated. Unfortunately, the other attorneys we worked with weren't the most professional and organized but Kris stepped in and made sure everything in the purchase agreement was completed and done properly (even thought that wasn't his job to do). He went above and beyond to make sure that my business got started on the right foot and I am forever grateful. I would HIGHLY recommend Kris to anyone, especially business owners. I have full confidence that whatever I take on as business owner Kris will have my back each step of the way! Thank you again!

I am incredibly grateful to have Roldan as my attorney. Roldan is professional, knowledgeable, efficient, hardworking, transparent, and articulate, but what stands out most to me is that he genuinely cares about justice and fairness. During my divorce case, I knew that Roldan genuinely cared about fighting for me, and everything felt easier knowing I had someone solid representing me. I highly recommend Roldan if you are searching for a Family Law lawyer.

He is able to grasp and explain complicated documents and filings to me and takes the time to do so. He always returns my calls or contacts me in some way, when I have questions. I appreciate his business ethics and am so thankful that he represents me because without him I would not have faith that we would prevail in our litigation.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Mr. Tyson was knowledgeable and professional during the entire process. I was impressed by his ability to make sense of my case and present it in a way that was easy to understand BUT also VERY convincing. He outlined the facts of my case with ease and settled my case very quickly. He was more than willing to communicate with me about the status of my case at all times! His fees are extremely fair and he works hard anyways so i was NEVER concerned that effort was an issue. I trust Mr. Tyson's expertise and would definitely hire him in the future if needed. I have and will recommend him to anyone!

In September 2017 I broke my ankle requiring multiple surgeries. It took over two years to not just heal but to settle my case that clearly involved negligence. During this process both Steve Bronson, Matt Clendenin and their support staff were there ensuring that I was kept updated and supported every step of the way. I found both Steve and Matt to be not just professional, but to be subject matter experts in a very difficult area of the law. I was not just emotionally supported in a very difficult process but based on their litigation skills that I received the best representation possible. I hope to never need this type of expertise again but if I do I would choose The BronsonFirm.

I had contacted Cline for a horrific, problem ridden Chevy Cruze. I wasn't sure if I would qualify since it was bought as a certified preowned car from the dealership, but with still being under the manufacturer warranty and all, they took my case and won. I do know that lemon law firms take some of the settlement as payment, which is standard for all lemon law law firms, but that some keep different percentages, so you may want to check into that when checking with different firms, but outside of that, I was very happy with Cline. If you don't know if you would qualify for a lemon claim, still call them and they will let you know, as well as explain the process with you. I definitely recommend them due to them being thoroughly knowledgeable of the law, the vehicles they are dealing with, keeping you in the loop, and following through on the claim. The office crew, as well as Brian Cline, took the time to talk to me a number of times, and to have the head honcho take that time, I think was really great.

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.
