After 4 long years of waiting to collect on an outstanding judgment from an out-of-state defendant, I decided to give Linda Brown a call to help me out. So glad I did because she and Matt were able to get the ball rolling immediately and collect on my judgement within a few short months! I highly recommend Linda Brown and her team!

i’m nearly 60 and for the first time in my life i was facing a criminal charge. Anthony defended me expertly. The prosecution tossed in the towel and dismissed the charge. this charge was brought about by my ex that has a drinking problem . He smaller alcohol on her breath . He also pointed out other weaknesses in their case. During a prior hearing where by i had a different attorney , it was expected to go to trial . so it was a surprise to
me to see the prosecution toss in the towel when they seemed so confident the prior hearing (in the hearing the judge ran out of time before our trial processed ) So i would definitely recommend Anthony .

My experience with Mr. Parker was nothing short of amazing! he is one of the most honest, knowledgeable, reliable people I’ve ever conducted business with. Everything was transparent and he delivered big. He kept me in the loop every step of the way not to mention he charged me far less than what other firms were quoting me. I won my case! HIGHLY recommended!

I didn't think I would need an attorney after our auto accident until something came up that told me otherwise. Peter and Chase were great and resourceful through it all. They kept us updated with every step along the way as well as clearly explaining what and why. They're a great team and they do what's best for their clients. I will definitely be recommending this group to those in need!

I just met Jennifer for the first time during my accident and she was very pleasant and efficient at getting things done. She will be a wonderful attorney one day. She was very good at communicating and everything worked out fine just like she said it would. She was friendly to my son and the communication was just great! We appreciated her company and are thankful for her.

When I consulted with Ms. Guilarte she told me she could get my trail date pushed up sooner. & when I hired her she did just that & got It pushed up 3 weeks sooner. Got the case dismissed & expunged off my record along with some other cases from my past. I highly recommend her and will not be calling anyone else but her in the future.

I had a very complex matter regarding my drivers license and the MVA due to legal circumstances . After consulting several local “big time” firms they all said the same thing- “you won’t be able to drive..it’s not going to happen...get used to Uber..etc” I approached Monica and never hesitated in her optimism to get the job done and navigate the brutal MVA hearing/rules process. When everyone else said “no” Monica said “yes” and now I am back on the road moving forward with my life. And on top of everything Monica didn’t charge me what the “big guys” were trying to charge for services. I am truly thankful

Mr. Cecil- Wanted to take this time out not only to thank you for all that you have done for us, all your hard work, especially through Covid, we want to thank you.
Also we want to thank you for assigning to us a wonderful person, we really appreciated Jennifer McCartney, what a gem! we really cared for your kindness and dealing with us in our stressful situation. Every time we needed help or direction she was there to aid us. There were times when our mood wasn't the best, yet Jennifer always stayed composed and very helpful and showed us the up most respect. Also one thing we were most impressed about, when she couldn't give a direct answer and had to refer to you as our lawyer, we found that so refreshing, she didn't try to be a know it all, she new her place, but worked very hard and professional. We loved her honesty very much so. Both of you were a great team. She kept us in the loop in every aspect of Keith's case. And we knew this was not easy for her, especially when this landed in her lap. She right away introduced herself to us, and made us feel confident that things will be handle right, thought she came on the scene a little later. We loved how she handle the transition. She never made us feel that we weren't being taken care of-that meant a lot to us! We will be referring you to all our friends. And we pray and hope nothing like this happens again, but due to unforeseen occurrences we may have to use your services again, and we will!
Thank you for all that Jennifer our sweet girl and you have done for us.

Robb Cecil and his staff were of great help to me in explaining the law as it applied to my case; dealing with auto and health insurance companies; and recovering costs expended following an auto accident I did not cause that totaled my car and sent me to surgery. His knowledge and experience assured me that I could turn over my case to him with confidence. He and his staff kept me informed, notifying me of developments as needed, responding to my calls promptly, and advocating on my behalf when required. I was pleased with the outcome of my case and have already referred a friend to him for assistance after he was struck by a car. I will continue to refer people to him and will use him again myself if needed.

I worked with McGowan & Cecil when I had a car accident and I couldn’t be happier with the service or the outcome. Mr. Cecil and his paralegal, Indira, were so pleasant to work with. They always kept me informed of the status of my case and were very responsive when I had any questions or concerns. They handled everything and made it so easy on me. The outcome of my case exceeded my expectations and I know it’s because of the work Mr. Cecil and Indira did on my case. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing an injury lawyer!

I was hesitant to hire a lawyer and put it off for several months. The first time I met Patricia I was relieved because she explained my options and throughout the whole process I always felt she was there for me and always had my best interest in mind. She fought hard to get what she felt I deserved and wouldn’t compromise for anything less. She took my bad experience and turned it around in a good way. Thank you again Patricia. You are awesome.

I knew GEICO was not giving me fair compensation for my injuries as I was ambulanced to the hospital on a back brace after 2 GEICO insured motorist slammed into the side of my car while I was waiting for a red light. Bob intervention in my case yielded me over 4 times the offer by GEICO. I am glad I did not settle. Bob was truly genuine about me and not just the case. I highly recommend him to anyone.

My fiance and I were hurt in a car crash and Geico low-balled us so Clark and Steinhorn put it into a lawsuit and got a nearly 50% increase in offer to settle the case. Clark and Steinhorn negotiated reductions in outstanding medical bills and the health insurance lien to assist me in the recovery process. During this very tough time, Clark and Steinhorn provided us with access to a wealth of industry knowledge and experience. They were both prompt and sensitive in addressing any concerns during the entire process. We hopefully will never need their services again, but I definitely appreciated the professional demeanor of Clark and Steinhorn.

I was involved in an auto accident, and hired a different attorney who i felt after several meetings wasn't listening or working as hard as he could have for me, so I met with Mr. Clark of Clark and Steinhorn and instantly decided to fire my other attorney and hire Mr. Clark. He kept me up to date on everything going on with my case, we had several meetings and anytime I needed him for anything he was there to answer any questions. The other insurance question only felt I was entitled to $1,000 settlement, it was no where close to a number we were happy with, Bob was able to get them to settle for $22,500 after filing suit. We were able to keep it out of court, and get a number I was comfortable with. I couldnt have done without them. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing legal help.

I found my experience with Mr. Stengel and the paralegal (Jennifer Manning) to be exceptional, from the beginning. At first I assumed it was just a great way to bring in clients, but they really did follow through everything, Every Single Detail with care and concern and incredible attention - especially Ms. Manning - that I never worried about my case while it was being resolved. I can't say enough about this team - I was almost sad to see it concluded as I felt like I'd found friends in the two of them. Seriously - trust them with your case - you won't be disappointed.

Mr Stengel (my attorney) and Ms. Jennifer Manning (his paralegal) provided me with the highest level of legal representation after being involved in an unfortunate automobile accident just prior to Christmas (2021). Ms. Manning and Mr Stengal put my families best interest at the top of their priority list throughout the case. When Ms. Manning asks you "how are you doing ?", you can feel and hear sincerity in her voice, it isn't simply an extension of a salutation. That's when I knew I was in good hands and I was going to be ok. I have met alot of attorneys and paralegals over the years, as I have campaigned for circuit court judges as well as orphans court judges in the past. Having said that I know the difference between a legal team who is simply business as usual and a legal team who truly works for you as if you are family and not just another client. I strongly recommend Mr. Stengel and Ms. Manning for any legal representation you are in need of .

I’ve never worked with a personal injury attorney’s office before and I really liked the process with Price Benowitz. Pat was always quick to respond to my questions and phone calls. I found Price Benowitz online and after speaking with one of the attorneys decided that I was going to use them for my case. I worked with numerous attorneys and I always found them to be very knowledgeable and were able to explain things to me easily. When I met with Patrick Rooney he made me feel very comfortable. I really enjoyed meeting with the attorney in person. Patrick was excellent and was able to negotiate with the other party who kept stalling. He was able to bring the case together and I would absolutely recommend Pat, John, and the rest of the Price Benowitz team to other people in a similar situation.

What Omid & his law firm has done for me is amazing. They represented me for a DUI/DWI case. As an active duty military member, these allegations could have cost me my career. Mr. Azari took the time to sit down, and review the basis of the charges step by step. He made me feel comfortable about how I felt and he knows the law! Because of his knowledge, I was able to get the charges dismissed. Azari Law, LLC fought for better results & charged less than other competing lawyers. Mr. Azari is for the people. I strongly recommend you consider his representation. Thanks again Mr. Azari.

Mr. Steinhorn provided me with exceptional legal representation at one of the most difficult times in my life. I was a busy, stressed-out law student, when a heavily intoxicated driver rear-ended my partner and me, resulting in my needing life-changing spinal fusion surgery and physical therapy. Mr. Steinhorn was not only fierce, knowledgeable, and effective in his advocacy at every step--he was also unusually kind, patient, and empathetic. These qualities were vital, given how much pain and stress I was experiencing at the time. He was also prompt, honest, and professional in all of his communications, taking the time to listen to my concerns and clearly explain his litigation strategy and the available options. Ultimately, he obtained an excellent settlement on my behalf, without the case needing to go to trial. I remain eternally grateful to Mr. Steinhorn and would recommend him and his firm unequivocally to anyone. He's a talented lawyer and a person of true integrity and compassion.

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.
