Mr. Rubenstein wouldn't let the insurance company bully us nor him. He fought for what was just. The insurance company was ordered to pay us workman's compensation plus a portion of our fee because Mr. Rubenstein made sure they were reprimanded for their unscrupulous tactics. Even after the trial he offered help to seek out college scholarships for my children. He is kind to his clients, tough on his opponents and a man of morals.

Richard Iglar (partner at Skoloff & Wolfe) recently represented me in a 12-month divorce case in north central New Jersey that centered on the equitable distribution of a substantial marital estate. Rick's performance was superlative and I strongly endorse him.
Rick topped my initial shortlist of highly qualified candidates. The preparation of the shortlist considered depth divorce experience, quality of professional training, and relevant credentials including certifications. Since my case had the potential to be financially complicated, selecting an attorney with the financial acumen to advocate my position was of paramount importance. An interview solidified my decision to hire Rick as my attorney.
Rick explained the divorce process and realistically set my expectations. He and his support staff readily absorbed the substantial financial details of the case and together we agreed on a scenario that would represent a fair and practical distribution of assets. Despite a potential straightforward path to resolution of the case, the adverse party pressed for unreasonable demands and pursued a range of malicious acts intended to punish me. To my benefit, Rick artfully countered the other side's absurd positions, nefarious acts, and delay tactics. With this effort the case was fairly settled without a costly and lengthy trial.
Throughout the process I felt that Rick was a powerful advocate for my interests. He was excellent at understanding my concerns and staying focused on the most important financial considerations. I was always consulted on key decisions and he was careful to make me aware of alternatives and potential risks. Rick's deep experience and familiarity with the court was an asset. He was truly outstanding in the negotiation of the settlement, which exactly matched the ideal outcome that Rick and I had crafted at the beginning of the case.

I have NO complaints. Very good attorney. Reasonable and fair. And yes, the person earlier that claimed paid fees with no results can not be telling the truth. I have used Anthony for years and he has charged me far less then he should have. I have also referred him with no problems what so ever
Honest. Reasonable and More than Fair

Tony recently represented me in what started out to be a very contentious and emotional divorce, yet within the first few weeks his expertise, level of compassion, genuine concern for me and my kids and easy-going demeanor (which turned aggressive and completely hard-nosed with my ex's lawyer when needed) put me at ease and made the best of what I initially thought be a long, drawn-out and costly process. He always made himself available to answer my questions, no matter how dumb I though they were, he even promptly answered my emails on weekends, and since his goals from day one were to reach a prompt and fair resolution of my case at minimal expense and without preparing needless paperwork, I have to say that his fees were more than reasonable. I simply cannot imagine who some of his other reviewers on this website are talking about (my ex hated him, so I can only assume that the ridiculously negative reviews were written by someone on the other side of his case!), Tony is the best, if you need a divorce attorney then look no further!!!

I was very fortunate, under very unfortunate circumstances, to work with Mr. Marucci on my Divorce. Faced with unscrupulous people with very deep pockets, Mr. Marucci not only won my divorce but also saved me thousands of dollars in the process. He was incredibly easy to talk to and was always very responsive to my requests. That was important to me because it saved me a lot of stress during the entire process.
The other major asset Mr. Marucci has is the fact that he's a kind, understanding and compassionate human being. Not only with me, his client, but for my ex-wife who was in an extremely dangerous position during our Divorce. He understood those dangers and made sure to not put her in further jeopardy - while fully protecting me at the same time. That says a lot about someone in his position and in today's legal environment. He went out of his way for everyone involved with the divorce. The bottom line, Anthony Marucci cares. I wouldn't hesitate for a split second in recommending him to anyone in need of an outstanding, extremely knowledgeable, always thorough and responsive, compassionate Attorney and friend.

This attorney does not communicate at all! He failed to act on my behalf and I was kept out of all crucial decisions. He motioned to dismiss the case while I was sitting there in court awaiting being called to the witness stand, as per his instructions. Although, he dismissed my case, he refuses to send my files or answer my calls. I am a senior citizen and have no idea what recourse I have? Potential clients should be warned about him.

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.
