After my car accident there were so many question I had about how to handle the situation. I'm so glad I called Mark. I was hit in my car and had to be taken to the hospital. I ended up having to attend physical therapy for months which resulted in many medical bills. The person who hit me had insurance but I had no idea what to do to make sure everything got paid or what to expect them to pay me for pain and suffering. Mark made what could have been for me a very time consuming and stressful process and helped me understand it. He made sure I got a fair settlement from their insurance for my pain and suffering . My medical bills got paid, I got my settlement, and I didn't have to endure the stress and financial burden of doing it on my own. Thank you Mark for everything!

Mr. Pickett and his team of professionals did an excellent job with my situation/case! Mr. Pickett was thorough, timely and handled matters with stellar professionalism. In working with Mr. Pickett, not only did I observe his ability to assess and anticipate potential issues/concerns, but I observed his ability to interpret and explain legal matters in a way that I could interpret them and make informed decisions regarding my options. His interpersonal skills and knowledge are highly commended and appreciated. I would recommend Pickett Law Firm to anyone interested in an attorney that will go the extra mile for you. Thank you.

Recently I, along with my family, was involved in a traumatic and emotionally draining personal injury
lawsuit with a big-league defendant. Needing a premier personal injury lawyer, we selected Attorney
Mollie C. McGraw (McGraw & Strickland LLC) for representation.
Our decision to select Attorney McGraw was spot on and eventually led to positive outcomes against the
defendant. During the arduous and nerve-racking negotiations, Attorney McGraw displayed utmost
personal empathy, top-notched legal knowledge and advise, superior negotiating skills and provided
timely updates and sage advice.
Our positive settlement accomplished several outcomes. First, it provided verifiable action to address
and eliminate the hazardous conditions/improper installation which led to a very unfortunate incident.
This eliminated the potential for other individuals to be negatively affected by those deficiencies.
Lastly, the settlement negotiated by Attorney McGraw on my behalf was fair. Besides acknowledging
and rectifying deficiencies that led to my life-threatening conditions, it provided just compensation for
mental, emotional, and medical traumas.
If you or family members need legal, assistance, my family and I recommend Attorney Mollie C McGraw
as your attorney of choice based on her outstanding legal professionalism and personal demeanor.

I called McGraw and Associates to discuss my case. I hurt my wrist falling down stairs at my apartment. The steps weren't to code and I needed to know if I could sue my landlord. I spoke with Ms. McGraw and told her about the accident. She was very nice and helpful and didn't charge me anything for the advice.

My co-worker and I were referred to this firm by another attorney. Yes it took an unfortunate event to happen but from the beginning they were thorough in explaining the process to us and it was clear that they would be aggressive in getting our cases resolved. We no longer stressed about our situation as we let our attorneys handle it for us. Their staff were also very helpful when the attorneys were not available. If you need an attorney to represent you, go with the best, choose Flores Tawney & Acosta!

Mr. Tawney stepped in and took my case. He showed outstanding professionalism from the moment we met and I could feel that he had my best interest at heart. He made sure I knew every possible outcome even what could go wrong. He was honest and attentive to every detail. In the end he got me a sizable payout in a case that seemed impossible. I have all confidence in James and will certainly turn to him again if the need should arise!

I was lucky enough to find David Lutz to represent me through a contentious divorce, which included the custody of my child and the splitting of two businesses among many other assests. He was very resourceful and knowledge about the law as it pertained to very specific concerns and issues regarding the division of assests. What was most helpful and important to me was his role as an empathetic advocate. The divorce process can be very confusing and fraught with emotion, he was able to calm fears and guide me through the process . He returned my correspondence very quickly, even when he was out of town. He personifies the attributes of someone you can trust especially in a very difficult transition to navigate. I highly recommend him.

I retained David Lutz as my divorce attorney after first consulting with another lawyer whose primary focus was to secure an outlandish retainer.
I knew within minutes of our initial consultation that David would offer expert counsel. He proved to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced in all areas of law. David’s exceptional representation in my divorce and child custody case allowed me to receive results that far surpassed my expectations.
I have since sought legal advice from Mr. Lutz in a civil matter, and hired him to produce legal documents for estate planning purposes. Had I known him before, I would have retained him in a personal injury case.
David Lutz is a trustworthy attorney who maintains honest communication. He represents the legal profession ethically and professionally. His attorney fees are fair and reasonable. And his staff is thorough, responsive, and personable.
I highly recommend David Lutz without hesitation.

Sam and his staff (especially Judy) helped my husband with recovering damages for permanent and disabling injuries after a nasty head on collision caused by another driver.
They were tireless in their pursuit of justice for him and we received compensation (much more than was originally offered) that has enabled us to help my husband function more like he used to.
Judy checked in with us frequently as the case progressed and we are so thankful for her, Sam, and the rest of the staff!

Mr. Cardenas worked on my case for four years, all the way from the local magistrate circuit to New Mexico's Federal Court of Appeals, and he knocked it out of the park every time the ball was thrown his way. He has a sharp mind for law knows the best ways to work within the Justice system in order to achieve Justice. Every time our paths crossed, either in a court room or his personal office, I felt safer and more secure regarding my legal situation. Mr. Cardenas was always able to masterfully explain what the courts wanted from me, what my personal obligations were in the situation, and how justice could always be found on my side. I was constantly being reminded of how lucky I was to have met such a professional and competent lawyer in the face of such trying circumstances. He has a passion for Justice and knows the law inside and out. If you ever find yourself in a legal bind, you can feel confident knowing that Christopher Cardenas will give his all to get you Justice.

On multiple occasions have I used Chris. He has always put in his personal heart and soul to resolve my cases. Being from a small town where attorneys are few and far between, I hired Chris from out of town. He treated me fairly and made me feel like a human being and not just his next paycheck. I believe that he is the premiere attorney in the southwest. Money well spent and genuinely good people.

Cardenas Law Firm is unable to take on our case at this time. However, Leslie and Mr. Cardenas have been so kind and their willingness to offer us guidance and advice as been so amazing. Even though they are not out attorney of record I will recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney who seems to actually care about people and I know will fight for an actual client. And that's just based on the help I've received and I'm not even a client. Thank you so much Leslie and Mr. Cardenas. God bless you both.

We went for a consultation back in November, paid him $350 per hour. He gave us instructions on what to do before retaining him and taking legal action, then if it didn’t work he would draft a letter for us, of course we would retain him at that point. When we called him back it took over 3 weeks to get ahold of them. His staff apparently lost our file, then wanted us to pay another $350 consult fee. That seems fishy, because he told me that if a client doesn’t retain him after the consult he throws out the notes. He’s a thief. When he finally called me back he was arrogant and very unprofessional. He started yelling at me and telling me that we couldn’t afford him so we should just break this up. I was just trying to ask him why should we pay twice when he failed to keep notes. He took real offense when I told him I could send in our receipt. He’s a crook, and doesn’t treat people with respect. He kept saying I charge $350 per hour and if you can’t afford that then how are you going to afford my services. I never told him we couldn’t afford it we just didn’t want to pay twice for a consult visit, he just didn’t like being questioned. He’s not a good person, so be careful. Best thing to do is to find a reputable lawyer. Thumbs down to Matt Watson.

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.
