Review for Attorney Matt Acuff
As a mother who found herself in a desperate situation, I cannot speak highly enough of Attorney Matt Acuff. When my son faced serious legal troubles, I felt completely overwhelmed and terrified for his future. Before I retained Matt, he spoke with me on two occasions,took the time to listen to my concerns and reassured me that it was something that he was confident that he could handle.
His expertise in criminal law is evident—not just in his knowledge of the legal system, but also in his strategic approach to my son’s case. Matt was incredibly thorough in his preparation and left no stone unturned. He communicated with me every step of the way, ensuring that I understood the process.
What truly stands out is how compassionate and understanding he was throughout this difficult time. Matt treated my son with respect and dignity, which made a world of difference in how my son felt about himself during such a challenging period. It was clear that he genuinely cared about both my son and our family.
Thanks to his hard work and dedication, we achieved a favorable outcome that I genuinely didn’t think was possible. My son has a second chance now, and I am forever grateful to Matt for his relentless pursuit of justice and for believing in my son when we needed it the most.
If you need a criminal attorney who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also truly cares about his clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Matt Acuff.
Thank you, Matt, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you’ve done for us. You are a remarkable attorney and an incredible human being.

Christine and her staff are nothing short of phenomenal. I have referred Christine to many people, but recently had to use her for family. I would not trust anyone else.
She was technically on vacation, but took my frantic call and immediately jumped into action. She made a scary situation less so. She is an avid advocate and wonderfully empathetic. She and her team are the ones you want when a loved one is in need.

Before meeting Matt Acuff and Colleen Long, I have contacted multiple lawyers to help me with my situation, however, no one wanted to handle my case.
During what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life, both have proven to be an invaluable support.
They have made what seemedto be a hopeless dream come to a reality and I am truly grateful that they have lifted the weight that I have been carrying for many years off my shoulders.
If you are seeking for an attorney office who truly cares about their clients, look no further, I strongly recommend their expertise.
E.L.O.

If you have a criminal case. Do NOT hire him . You will waste your money and end up with a long prison sentence. I am living proof. I wasted years of my life for a case that could have been thrown away or gotten a reduced sentence. He will work with the DA an throw you under the bus for another client to get time reduced.

My daughter had surgery and she couldn't make it to traffic court for a speeding ticket. Christine was amazing, she got the speed reduced with no points!!!!. She handled the traffic case with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. Spared us time and future challenges, truly an advocate with compassion! Shout out to her legal assistant Katie keeping us abreast of everything! Thank you both!

Originally, I was going to represent myself in my small claims case but after the defendant hired a lawyer, I knew I needed help. After searching for a while, I finally found Jesse. The moment I spoke to him, I knew he was the attorney for me. Jesse is a very intelligent person and he is a very fast thinker (a skill that is very valuable in court). He took the time to understand my construction case and set me at ease that I did have a case. Jesse knows construction law and he was amazing in court often catching out the lies of the defendant. He took the time to prep me before the case and let me know how things would proceed. Jesse really presented my case well and his intelligence and speed of thought really made a big difference in court. Jesse did an amazing job and I couldn't be more pleased. I can't recommend him enough. We are awaiting the verdict.

Chris handled a child custody case for our family. Other attorneys said we could never win and would have to try and appeal. We hired Chris because of his success with appeals but he ended up winning the case at trial and got us custody. He saved our grandson's life!

I had read about Rick's fantastic rating before I had hired him for a major criminal case.He researched a lot about the specifics of my case and represented me very effectively. He did not promise me anything that was not doable and ensured that every single detail was carefully reviewed. I have great admiration for his legal skills as he successfully handled my entire case spanning over 6.5 years.

Mr. Ryczek did an excellent job for me delivering a great result in my case which could damage my whole life and professional career. His expertise together with his genuine care for the case and client and high intelligence saved me a lot of trouble. I highly recommend his service.
Let me start by saying that I am international PhD student (under F1 visa) from Iran (which could unreasonably amplify the negative effects of any serious conviction on my immigration and education status).
I was arrested by campus police officers at night, while trying to get something from my office. They stopped me for expired tag and after smelling marijuana from my car, they searched my car and did field sobriety test. Long story short, I was arrested and charged with 1) DUI-drugs 2) possession of marijuana (I only had 1 grams) 3) having alcohol open container 4) failure to signal. They also did a blood test after arrest. I should mention that although I was using marijuana a lot those days for sleeping and depression, my driving was not really affected as my tolerance had raised a lot. Since it was my first encounter with cops in US (and I hadn't really researched about my rights and how to interact with cops), I did an awful job (in my opinion) interacting with cops and I trusted them a too much. But they more or less lied to me and made my situation way worse than what really happened that night. Later on, I was very frustrated when I read the police report which was a surrealistic collection of lies.
After bonding out, I immediately started to search for the best DUI lawyers in Georgia and interviewed some of the most known lawyers in the area, as this could affect my career and immigration status massively. Among all the lawyers, I felt more genuine concern about my case, beside being honest about possible outcomes and what he can do and after researching a lot, I realized he is an extremely well regarded and successful lawyer, and therefore the best choice for me. Let me mention for instance that there were another very famous lawyer with a lot of TV appearances, who not only wanted to charge me way more, but also were very pessimistic about the result. Rick did way better than what he was considering impossible!
Throughout the procedure which took around 1 year, he used every chance to dismiss my case for various reasons, which showed to me how extremely knowledgable he is about the details of the law on this subject (once for prosecutors not filing the charges correctly, once for not giving us the blood test and cam video on time, once for the cop not showing up). Our requests did not work mostly because the judge was nice to the prosecutors, but I witnessed that Rick did push for a dismissal whenever it was possible.
Finally after we received the blood test and the video, I realized that the active marijuana in my blood was quite high (0.9 when the limit for DUI in CO is 0.5) and the field tests were not as good as I previously thought. It was not awful, but definitely not good.
So we started to cut a deal. One thing I realized was that it is very important for the lawyers to have good relations with prosecutors, judge and staff (for cutting deals) and Rick had this great as he was very friendly and respectful (and sometimes funny!) and so very much respected in the court. Finally we reached a deal that I was very happy with. They dropped the DUI/possession/open container charges (all drug/alc related charges) and I pled guilty to 1) failure to signal 2) reckless driving. Sentenced to 200 (for 1) and 600$ (for 2) fines (judge dropped 200$). Also a 1 year probation including random alc/drug tests, dui school, community service and Alc/drug evaluation. Rick requested the probation to be terminated after completing my conditions which was accepted. So since I had done all that stuff, after paying the fine on the same day, my probation was terminated and I put all of this big trouble behind!
I highly recommend Rick's service!

I was so nervous about filing bankruptcy but spoke with Vicki Fox and she gave me some very detailed information about the different options and costs. Once I had my mind made up, they scheduled me to come in and went over the paperwork step by step explaining expectations and answering questions and concerns. They made an very uncomfortable circumstance, absolutely comfortable

I had called many offices before this one and the prices were so high. Then I received a flyer in the mail and Because of their price I was immediately led to call them. I called and was very satisfied, no hidden fees, no extra charges down the line, just a flat rate. Vicki the receptionist is awesome, it was always a pleasure talking to her. This law firm filed my case in record time. The process was very quick and with them it seemed easy and effortless. I was truly blessed to have picked up the phone and called them. One of my best decisions.

I received several letters in the mail to handle a lawsuit that had been filed against me. I contacted several of them with no luck. I called the Ballard Law Group and it was the best decision I ever made. Cha'ron was outstanding. She made me feel comfortable and told me what to expect. Everything went as she explained. I would recommend Cha'ron to anyone that is looking for a bankruptcy attorney. She is outstanding.

Curtis Chronister handled my chapter 7 and it was wonderful and stress free for me. His office is so efficient and you don't feel like you have no idea whats going on with your case. He makes sure that you are well informed and explains everything in detail. I can't thank him and his office staff enough for. Ashley is equally as wonderful

We used Curtis for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. From the minute I called with questions, he took his time explaining our options over the phone without even coming in. He spent at least 45 minutes on the phone with me with no charge and then met with my husband and me for a good hour in the office with no charge. So the 1 hour FREE consultation definitely holds true. It's an embarrassing situation to be in to admit that you’re in such a financial hardship that you can't pay your bills and stay afloat with the everyday expenses. He never once made us feel bad or ashamed or looked down upon. He said his job was to help us and our family get relief from this tremendous burden and that he did. His wife Ashley is the administrator and was always helpful, friendly and courteous. In the midst of our bankruptcy we were still struggling to get back on top of things and were all of the sudden looking at foreclosure because we had become officially 2 months behind on our mortgage. They responded to the situation immediately with concern, caring and assurance that they would do everything they could to help us keep our house. Never once did they say "well you'll have to come with X amount of money before we'll even consider this". And in the end we did keep our house! From the beginning they always made us feel that they were truly there to help us and the money was not of concern. Of course they expect to be paid for their services as anyone else but I have spoken to many attorneys before speaking with them and the first thing out of their mouth was how much we would need to come up with for them to handle our case. Obviously if you're in a position of having to file bankruptcy you don't have hundreds, much less thousands of dollars just laying around! I can't say enough about how grateful we are for their help and even after it was all over they said to call them if we ever need them in the future. You won't find anyone better!

I would recommend them to any of my friends or family!

Bob has helped us so much with our young daughter's legal issues over the past few years. He is a great lawyer and just as good of a person. He genuinely cared about her outcome.

You cannot get any better than that. BOB IS AMAZING!!!

Thomas and Perla are nothing short of AMAZING!!!! I was the victim of a car accident and had so many unknowns, especially when navigating this entire situation. Coker Accident Attorneys have made the process so smooth, understandable, and have worked and continue to work tirelessly to make sure I am being properly taken care of. They truly have a servant’s heart when it comes to caring for their neighbors. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for their guidance through unknown territory and all of their hard work. If anyone is on the fence or not sure who to pick to represent them, I highly recommend using Coker Accident Attorneys. They are worth every bit of time, trust, etc. They truly are the best!!!!

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional representation Atty Sharon Jackson and her team provided during my divorce ordeal. Atty Jackson's expertise, guidance and unwavering support were instrumental in helping me navigate through this challenging time. Her dedication to my case went far beyond what I expected. She and her team took the time to listen to my concerns, address my questions, and provide reassurance when I needed it most. Her ability to balance empathy with professionalism was truly impressive as well as reassuring. I was particularly impressed by the way she was able to calm me down and let me know that everything was going to be okay. It made me feel confident in her ability to represent me. I appreciate the countless hours you and your team devoted to my case, going above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. Your commitment to me as your client is truly remarkable, and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you. Thank you for your outstanding representation and support during this difficult time. (I was a mess). I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone seeking exceptional legal counsel.

I had the pleasure of working with LaGrone Law, specifically with Safisha Thembeka, who represented my family member in a challenging case. While the process took some time, the outcome was more than worth it. Safisha was an absolute powerhouse—dedicated, energetic, and incredibly thorough. She went above and beyond, diving deep into the details of the case, leaving no stone unturned. Her commitment and passion for our case were clear from the start; she treated us like family, making sure we felt supported and informed throughout the entire process.
What stood out the most was how Safisha handled everything with such care and professionalism, and in the end, she achieved an incredible result: the case was dismissed without going to trial. I truly believe her tireless work and advocacy were the key to this outcome. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you and your family until the very end, I highly recommend Safisha Thembeka and LaGrone Law. They are dedicated, reliable, and truly have your best interests at heart.

I got into a scrap with my buddy at home and the cops got called. Even though me and him were good friends and were adamant not to press charges, the police WERE FORCED to charge it as a domestic violence case. LaGrone law got the case dismissed contingent on a anger management class. The paralegal I worked with Andrea was cordial polite and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

If you need an attentive, sharp, diligent, and EXPERT attorney, hire Crystal Wright! I knew I had the RIGHT person representing me when I found her. I have had the pleasure of being represented by Attorney Wright twice, once for a custody issue and a second time for a divorce. Each time she was AMAZING! Her ability to hear me, understand my concerns, and advise me really put my mind at ease. In both cases, her dedication, experience, and knowledge of the law allowed me to achieve an outcome that was in my best interests. I feel like I got my life back because of her. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank you for EVERYTHING, Attorney Wright!

Robert Greenwald was my court appointed lawyer in Gwinnett County Court Solicitors Court for a case from over two years ago. Not only did my previous lawyer didn’t show up to my court date but I was assigned to Robert Greenwald after 8 hours of waiting in the court house. I was incarcerated for 48 days, waited over 2 years for a court date, & plead into one year probation under Judge Kay Dove. I was incarcerated for 16 days second time reporting into Southeast Correction because Probation officer Alixandrea Clark Martin failed to inform me of my next reporting. I’m suppose to be getting treatment from viewpoint health for alcohol dependency & 3 psychiatric treatment. It’s been over 6 months, Viewpoint health has seen me multiple times with only one psychiatric session. I’m suppose to be in an in person outpatient substance abuse program. There isn’t any ASAM 2.1 program in Gwinnett only in Cobb County & Barrow County. I had to resign from my job of 6 months since Gwinnett County Court wasn’t clear on the status of my case. Judge Kay Dove who sentenced me isn’t available regardless of the letter & email I sent her. The court of Gwinnett is suppose to help me with my dependency on alcohol that’s why I’m on probation. Yet, Judge Kay Dove, Viewpoint Health, Southeast Correction Probation, & my court appointed lawyer Robert Greenwald aren’t any of aid in my so called “recovery”. I don’t have a job to pay my probation officer or the extensive outpatient program. I called Robert Greenwald second time in concern of how things are getting handled in Southeast Correction & Viewpoint Health & all he did was yell & be belligerent when I’m genuinely concern at how ridiculous things are. Robert Greenwald is suppose to represent me since he’s my court appointed lawyer but obviously the Court of Gwinnett isn’t concern for bettering of the citizens of the community of Gwinnett. They’re just milking each inmate for whatever money they’re worth. If I can give Gwinnett County Lawyers a negative star, I would.

Ms. Miller affords you her expertise as a Judge, State Legislator, Educator, Attorney, and Parent for your court matters.
Her understanding of family law provided me an attorney who listened, and explained all matters that would be forthcoming in my divorce case based on the outcome I had desired when we first met.
Ms. Miller is well versed in the courtroom and continually reads cases and situations, keeping them at the ready when needed for your case.
Ms. Miller successfully defended me in a very complex family law case that had all elements of a bad and difficult divorce with many accusations being presented to the court. Each accusation was dissected, questioned openly in the courts, and dismissed by the courts. Her successful representation gave me immediate access to my child, and a voice in the legal system that made opposing attorneys and Judges pay attention to.
While waiting on my case to be heard, I have witnessed Ms. Miller assist younger attorneys in the courtroom on proper protocol, and coach them on procedure and direction. She is not only passionate about her clients but also passionate about the law.
You cannot receive any better legal representation in family law than Phyllis Miller.

After spending the past four years in and out of the courtroom with my ex-husband, I finally found the BEST Attorney!! Phyllis Miller was highly recommended to me through other lawyers in the community. Ms. Miller's years of experience as an attorney and a former judge shows in the courtroom!
Phyllis always answered my emails and/or phone calls promptly. She was fantastic at keeping me up to date on any information that I needed regarding my case. Phyllis went above and beyond for what was best for me and my children. She knows what she is doing and will Fight to Get You a Great Outcome! I recommend Phyllis Miller to anyone who needs a dedicated, knowledgeable, and experienced attorney.

This Itailian gal has spunk and passion. If you'd like to hire one of the best, I highly recommend this lawyer. She helped me get my kids and my house in my divorce proceedings. After watching her in the court room I gave her the nickname Barracuda. You would have to see it to understand it. I am lucky enough to be one of the 2% of men....thanks to Phyllis Miller...hire her, you'll see...she is worth every penny. :-)

This lawyer was assigned to my child's case this past year and overall I would rate him as so so. And although I think he is a decent attorney (he knew the basics), I wouldn't rate him as excellent. This is because there were details missed and important things about the case not brought up that I think should have been. Fair is the fairest rating I can give.

Robert Greenwald was my court appointed lawyer in Gwinnett County Court Solicitors Court for a case from over two years ago. Not only did my previous lawyer didn’t show up to my court date but I was assigned to Robert Greenwald after 8 hours of waiting in the court house. I was incarcerated for 48 days, waited over 2 years for a court date, & plead into one year probation under Judge Kay Dove. I was incarcerated for 16 days second time reporting into Southeast Correction because Probation officer Alixandrea Clark Martin failed to inform me of my next reporting. I’m suppose to be getting treatment from viewpoint health for alcohol dependency & 3 psychiatric treatment. It’s been over 6 months, Viewpoint health has seen me multiple times with only one psychiatric session. I’m suppose to be in an in person outpatient substance abuse program. There isn’t any ASAM 2.1 program in Gwinnett only in Cobb County & Barrow County. I had to resign from my job of 6 months since Gwinnett County Court wasn’t clear on the status of my case. Judge Kay Dove who sentenced me isn’t available regardless of the letter & email I sent her. The court of Gwinnett is suppose to help me with my dependency on alcohol that’s why I’m on probation. Yet, Judge Kay Dove, Viewpoint Health, Southeast Correction Probation, & my court appointed lawyer Robert Greenwald aren’t any of aid in my so called “recovery”. I don’t have a job to pay my probation officer or the extensive outpatient program. I called Robert Greenwald second time in concern of how things are getting handled in Southeast Correction & Viewpoint Health & all he did was yell & be belligerent when I’m genuinely concern at how ridiculous things are. Robert Greenwald is suppose to represent me since he’s my court appointed lawyer but obviously the Court of Gwinnett isn’t concern for bettering of the citizens of the community of Gwinnett. They’re just milking each inmate for whatever money they’re worth. If I can give Gwinnett County Lawyers a negative star, I would.

DO NOT & I mean DO NOT go to this oxymoron for help, questions, advice, updates, opinions, NOTHING! I had to give at least 1 star in order to leave a review. Google needs to give a 0 star option. He's RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, disrespectful & he's not there to help his clients, he's AGAINST his clients. He doesn't have any respect, bedside manners, he makes fun of his CLIENTS disabilities & he is a very unhappy & miserable individual. He had the audacity to tell me in a condescending tone "I've been practicing law for 23 years." Really? But you're a "PUBLIC DEFENDER" with a BAD RAPPORT about yourself! He was very angry, very aggressive, & very defensive. I wouldn't be bragging about how long I've been practicing law & I haven't made partner with anyone or at least had a private firm! Even other attorneys are talking about how horrible you are! You treat your CLIENTS like they don't matter & you treat them like you're not on their side either! Not EVERYONE who's case you're working on is guilty! You're not a PROSECUTOR! You're a PUBLIC DEFENDER so act accordingly! You also need to HUMBLE YOURSELF & treat your clients & their FAMILY MEMBERS with some RESPECT! We already knew before we actually contacted you (AFTER you was appointed) that you & your reviews are HORRIBLE! Even my son said you made him uncomfortable! Your energy was off & he didn't like your vibe/attitude & how you made him feel! You came there to so called "visit" him & was only with him for 1 minute & that while you was with him you was making fun of his disability! Then you insulted him & had the nerve to ask before you left did he have any questions? Which I know he wouldn't been able to ask because you don't know how to LISTEN & let anyone get anything in EDGE wise! You was very disrespectful towards me & talked to me like I was "dumb" & I'm a educated individual, so I could only imagine how you treat your clients! Also don't burn your bridges with people because as quick as you got your JD/passed the bar you can get disbarred too! Your CLIENTS is what keeps your bills paid! He (Lawrence Lewis) was too busy getting SMART about irrelevant stuff that didn't pertain to my son that he didn't realize that he was talking to me about his other client! That right there goes to show that he needs to chill out, calm down & take a deep breath before he just starts talking & running off at the mouth to people like they're a nobody! Your SERVICES is no longer needed Lawrence SMH! You lost all respect from me & my family. You don't even want to help your clients anyways. Folks go elsewhere to get legal representation for your loved ones because he's not the right choice for their case or the Judicial System.

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.
