Craig represented me for a difficult brain injury case with my long-term disability insurance provider. He's compassionate, caring, very smart, and a hard worker. I'm so grateful for both the work and support that Craig and his paralegal Heidi provided me during such a stressful and difficult time and for the favorable outcome he achieved.

I cannot do justice to Craig and his staff in the limited space available. I have known Craig for 35 years. He has represented my wife and I in 2 separate instances over the years. In my circumstance, communication was very important and challenging. Due to a head injury, my wife suffers short-term memory issues. Craig and his staff were amazingly patient, understanding and accommodating. They made sure everything was understood and never showed any frustration in repeating what had been previously discussed. They performed follow-up communication to ensure nothing was missed as well. He and his staff showed such understanding that it still pulls at my heart. I wish everyone could be as wonderful as they were. Craig communicated continuously, in terms we could understand. He also kept us informed of the processes taking place and the next steps to be taken. We were never left guessing or wondering what happens next. He and his staff were always there for us. He prepared us for each step of the case and trial at a pace my wife could handle. His flexibility in working around our limitations kept the whole experience from being overwhelming. His research and preparation left nothing to chance. He prepared us for any foreseeable contingency and helped ease our fears. Through his dedication and efforts, we successfully negotiated a settlement with workman's comp and received a favorable judgment with full rewards in a trial for a separate incident. Craig and his staff have been a godsend for our family. Craig demonstrates incomparable integrity at all times. He and his staff have incredible compassion and empathy for their clients. They genuinely care for their clients and that shows in the work they put into every case. Craig is extremely thorough in his research and preparation for every case he represents. His work ethics ensure his clients are getting the best representation they can possibly attain. He has an extensive knowledge of the law, legal proceedings and processes. His reputation within the court system is impeccable. He is known and respected by judges and attorneys alike. His skill, knowledge, compassion and understanding make him an extraodinary person whom I recommend with heartfelt appreciation.

I have been fortunate enough to have been both a client and friend of Craig's for many years. Craig has a rare combination of extraordinary skill, compassion and uncompromising integrity, all coupled with a work ethic second to none. Craig deeply cares for his clients and spares no effort to ensure that they have the best representation they could find anywhere. His deep knowledge of the law and his preparation result in the comfort in knowing that you are in the best of hands at all times. I recommend Craig to anyone needing the best legal representation.

Any show of appreciation I have made is truly sincere.My brother in law got in a wreck 2 months before I got hurt,his claim is still unsettled and he has no idea,not even a 'ball park figure' of what they are even asking for on his behalf. Seeing how his lawyer is makes me appreciate you and your team even more. As far as having any questions I do not,you keep me very well informed of everything I need to know. So again,a ton of thanks.YOU ROCK!! Cynthia.

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. All I ever wanted was to be fairly treated, both medically and financially in this matter. I also realize my situation created some challenges taking work out of state. You were always honest and forthright, on how and what to expect, kept pushing through the ugliness of the work comp system, all to bring this to closure. The way this system treats people is abhorrent and disgraceful. Throughout this process you helped me maintain hope that something fair would result in the end. Wishing you the best of health and happiness for you and yours.

I hired the Lakewood injury lawyers at the Mintz Law Firm to handle my Colorado personal injury car accident case. I was always able to reach my personal injury attorney, and my questions regarding my motor vehicle accident claim were always answered timely. My car accident lawyer and paralegal explained things to me clearly in a way I could understand, and if there was ever anything I did not understand about my automobile accident claim the accident attorneys at the Mintz Law Firm were patient and explained things in an alternative way. I would have never received the amount of money in my motor vehicle accident settlement without the personal injury attorneys at the Mintz Law Firm.

Robert walked him through the process, analyzed every aspect of his case and helped him win depite my employer fighting the claim.

We highly recommend using Darrell Damschen as he fought, and won, a dispute for us over improperly installed siding on our home.

My wife and I hired Mr. Damschen to defend us against a complicated lawsuit filed against us by a reckless and negligent hardwood flooring contractor. Mr. Damschen initially provided us with free phone consultations and then we hired him to represent us. Mr. Damschen is personable, cordial and easy to speak with as he does well to translate legal jargon into common English. He was always well prepared and did considerable research to stay on top of the case. He was successful in getting a number of claims against us withdrawn or dismissed and ultimately put us in a good situation to address the true matter at hand which was complicated by the contractor's frivolous claims. In the end Mr. Damschen was able to get us in a position to make a very reasonable settlement offer to avoid further legal costs. We would highly recommend Mr. Damschen to anyone who is dealing with a construction defect or a contract dispute.

Darrell did an exceptional job of determining all that would be required and making contacts with all necessary players. He kept several of our people in the loop not just me. He guided the proper funds resources needed for the bidding process. He acted as our representative in the bidding process at the county office. He made sure all of the necessary paperwork was filed with the county. He checked to be sure that the transaction became finalized after the necessary waiting period. He secured the information needed to gain access to the property after the transaction was final. Everything that Darrell did was outstanding and clear and with the necessary detail. He made all of the required decisions that could have been a source of unnecessary work for us as client. I highly recommend Darrell to anyone seeking legal guidance. He will be upfront about what it will take to accomplish the task and move forward with confidence and great capability once hired.

Bastion was fantastic! I was in a car accident in April of 2015 and couldn't get any help from the Insurance companies. I reached out to Bastion in 2016 after spending over $20,000 of my own money for medical treatments. I am self employed and do not have medical insurance. Bastion went through my case and I hired him. He was very attentive to my needs and made sure that all of my medical care was first priority. He set me up with Injury Finance who paid for all of my medical expenses and made sure that I had the proper care. I was in need of 2 back surgeries which was all taken care of while Bastion continued to work my case. It took 4 years to finally get a settlement from the insurance company and Bastion never quit fighting for me. I can't tell you how much it means to have someone that you know is on your side. During the entire process he called me regularly to check in and see how I was feeling and how my medical treatment was going. Bastion is amazing and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a Personal Injury attorney.

After consulting with Bastion Kane I hired him to work on a case and was pleased with the outcome. It was a very difficult time for our family after losing our loved one but he was thoughtful, honest, and easy to work with. He personally returned all of our calls and emails in a timely manner and clearly explained each step, so when I found myself needing an attorney due to a car accident, it was an easy decision to have him represent me. Excellent choice.

I thought it was pretty unprofessional when I was called back by someone in the office (paralegal?) to demand my business after telling them I was more comfortable with another attorney. Is it your company's policy to berate potential clients and attempt to bully them into working with your firm? This attitude may have worked decades ago but it shows how out of touch your law office is with the times. Typical ambulance chaser behavior.

I would give this attorney ZERO stars, but that is impossible. I hired Mr. Baca to represent me in my criminal case. He claims his flat fee is warranted because he is to do the same about of work if the case goes to trial or if a plea is accepted. He advised me to plea. I should of seen that coming. He spent about 10 mins in court with me. He must of spent 30 mins total on my case, and most of that was him notifying the court of his entry of appearance. He never contacted me about my case. I was in jail, and he never spoke with me. He did not review the discovery with me and he did not even formulate a defensive for me. He sure kept that flat fee he charged and he did nothing for me. Nothing. He has not taking a case to trail in over 6 years. . A public defender would serve you better. Save your money. He demonstrated limit knowledge of the law and even less knowledge of court room procedures.

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.
