I knew from my first meeting with Elissa Fitzmartin I was in good hands. She speaks with few words but every word is impactful. From the beginning she answered every question with clarity. She was patient and listened....no, she HEARD everything I said. She cared about everything I was going through. Somehow she answered questions I didn't know I had! She untangled the web of doctors and insurance companies. I never had to call her to find out what was going on with my case....she was always in touch with me. Always. Yes, I suppose lawyers are suppose to do all this but I have heard some real horror stories about other lawyers from people. On top of her professionalism and knowledge.....Elissa was kind.....so kind. She got results......she was diligent and didn't settle for so-so. She kept pushing forward on my behalf...and I will always be grateful for her kindness, professionalism, tenacity and well... just being the human that she is.

Al Marten was absolutely amazing. He goes above and beyond for his clients at all costs. I was kept in the loop and well informed on my case that dragged out for over 18 months. Mr. Marten was able to track down the other party even being out of state to get him served and get him to court down here. He was there for me through my entire ordeal all the way up to our Trial which lasted over 2 days. My case was very complicated and Mr. Marten was very confident and gave me sound realistic outcomes. I am FOREVER GRATEFUL and will be using Mr. Marten in all following issues for my family!!!❤❤

I have no words to describe what Alfred did for me and my family. My case was incredibly complicated and not easy. He took it on, was very up front and patient with me. Thanks to Alfred I was granted relocation due to domestic violence and am now safe with my family. He fought hard for us even when I couldn’t fight anymore. It was a painful time and I’m thankful to be safe, happy and healthy. I highly recommend Alfred.

Upon closing of my new house, it was determined that it should be tented for pest control reasons. They advised It was scheduled for a Tuesday, for which I had made arrangements to have my cat and myself out Tuesday early AM. On Monday, I got home to find the house already tented and fumigated. My pet cat still inside, and killed. I called pest control company who had little to say and could not explain how they switched the days.
Mr. Chiapperini was my counsel on what could be done to hold them accountable. He advised me as to the law and how best to proceed. I found him to be both knowledgeable and very understanding of my circumstance. He periodically kept me informed and always promptly answered all emails and calls. Although I personally disagree with the way Florida law considers pet companions, I had and have utmost confidence in Mr. Chiapperini. Hopefully, I will never need legal council again, but if I do, Mr. Chiapperini will be my first choice.

I initially hired another attorney but because I was unhappy with the lack of progress and increasing bills, I decided to look for someone else. Mr. Chiapperini was referred by a family friend to consult on a boundary dispute complaint I was served with. Although Mr. Chiapperini does not practice in this area of the law, he did some research and found out what needed to be done. He took over my case and contacted the other party's attorney. Although this was a very stressful time for me because the fence in dispute existed years before I purchased my property and I didn't know it wasn't on the boundary line, Mr. Chiapperini went to great lengths to make sure I wasn't paying for someone else's mistake. Mr. Chiapperini was easy to reach and I always knew what was going on in the case. He saved me a lot of time, money, and, most importantly, stress. I highly recommend him and will continue to use his services for any of my future needs.

Tarek Kiam was a breath of fresh air. I’ve had to deal with several lawyers in my pursuit of a defendant. This defendant filed for bankruptcy which ultimately led me to hire Tarek to represent me as a creditor. At this point, I know what makes a good attorney and ones that are meh. Tarek is excellent. Expect prompt responses to any inquiries. Most importantly, while all attorneys have their standard playbook, Tarek customizes his legal strategy to fit your unique situation. Trust me, this is rarely done.
Tarek is on top of everything that relates to your case. You don’t have to remind him of deadlines. You’ve heard of helicopter parents? In the past I’ve had to be a helicopter client. Not with Tarek. When he submits documents to the Court expect them to be detailed, on time (or submitted with plenty of time to spare) and contain the correct information. I didn’t have to be his administrative assistant, paralegal, co-counsel, secretary or any of the other crazy roles I’ve had to play with prior attorneys.
Tarek’s attorney fees are reasonable and he’s worth more (shh!🤫). He is very efficient with his time – a major bonus with any attorney you pay by the hour. While any interaction with the court system is stressful, I found my experience working with Tarek to generate a feeling of confidence. He’s professional, knows the legal landscape and (in my case) got the job done to my 100% satisfaction.

I slipped at a supermarket and was injured. I called and met with Gary at his office. Throughout the case he kept me apprised of the keys and he treated me like family. I believe he went above and beyond in terms of representing me as my lawyer. My case resolved and I’m pleased at all my medical bills have been taken care of and that I was fairly compensated by the business. Drucker law offices and the personnel are really nice and i encourage anyone who needs a lawyer to csll for a consultation.

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.
