Dave handled my real estate needs here in the state of California and advised me when I sought to buy property in Denver, Colorado. He gave me great advice as to how I should proceed in both states. If you have ANY real estate needs, Dave is more than capable. I'm a client for life.

Mr. Lederer has handled a rape case and an auto accident case for me and my family. With each case I was informed of the good, the bad, and the ugly that was taking place. He didn't dance around topics or leave out information. He was always blunt and to the point--always making sure I understood what was going on. Yet he was sensitive to my situation and worked with me to mentally and physically heal from the situation. Mr. Lederer aided me in finding the best doctors and counselors to assist me and my family, regardless of our lack of insurance and immigration status. He fought relentlessly for both cases and I received a more than fair settlement with both and his staff helped in negotiating to reduce my medical bills. His staff was always courteous and even provided translation services for my mother when needed. Mr. Lederer and his staff worked extremely hard for us. I would definately use him again as a good trusting lawyer is hard to find.

I recommend Rhee Dean Law to anyone who wants top quality representation. Jennifer and her team at Rhee Dean Law were amazingly accommodating. They went above and beyond with their skill and expertise to deliver more than was required and to ensure that I didn't have to suffer as much through legal processes. They helped me win a huge settlement by putting all their hard work and dedication into it. I was about to give up but they gave me a second chance for which I feel very lucky and thankful to them. I can't believe how fortunate I am to have been represented by Rhee Dean Law. Jennifer always communicated with me and got back to me as soon as possible. She knows how to handle difficult situations in the best way possible.They were so compassionate. Thank you and much appreciation to everyone, sending good wishes and hoping you all continue to thrive and more.

Ian is the attorney for the quintessential "little guy." An attorney truly for the people. I was initially reluctant about hiring a large law firm to represent me in my case. All of the negativity you hear about large firms—not being regularly updated, not hearing from your lawyer, being handed off to paralegals—was debunked after my experience with Ian. When I hired Ian, I expected to regularly hear from him, not his paralegals, and that is precisely what I got. Ian is selfless. He fights for what is fair and just. He will protect you; especially when the defense team of lawyers tries to personally attack you. The defense attorneys did what they could to intimidate me so I would drop my case and it almost worked. They attacked my credibility, pried into my personal life, and accused me of lying, being a fake, and a fraud. Ian was relentless in heading off the defense attacks and sticking up for me. As part of a lawsuit I thought every part of my life was subject to examination by the defense lawyers. Not true. Ian pushed back and had the legal intellect to back it up. It was such a sight to see. A big corporate lawyer giving up ground to the “little guy's” attorney. Think of Ian as the big brother you call when the bully steals your lunch at recess. This sums up Ian and what he stands for. In the face of adversity—here a giant corporation—he did not back down. He stayed the course and believed in me. Every time I spoke with Ian or met with him, I felt confident, secured, and most importantly, that he had my back. I cannot write enough great things about Ian and express how much I really appreciate him as a human being and as my attorney.

Ryan Casey expertly, and successfully, pursued two separate but related California personal injury matters for me beginning in early 2013. He traveled to meet with me in Northern California from his offices in Los Angeles whenever necessary, always scheduled appointments, depositions and examinations around my schedule (both my work schedule, and with respect to medical appointments and procedures), and never allowed opposing counsel to dictate terms, dates or conditions. It was an immeasurable comfort having such a compassionate advocate for my case and my physical condition, who was also so impressively adept a litigator and skilled with respect to depositions and negotiations with opposing counsel. I recommend him fully and without reservation for any California personal injury matter.

Their keen attention to detail, ethics, incredible level of knowledge and experience, outside the box thinking and tenacity made a very painful situation less painful. The results were much better than anticipated. I always knew what was going on and spoke with them personally--Much better than going to a larger firm.

Mr Klein assisted me in my divorce proceeding where I was being diced and sliced by some real shysters. I consulted with Mr. Klein at Nate and Als. Mr. Klein had the pastrami on rye while I enjoyed hot matzoh ball soup. Not only did Mr. Klein advise me of what was prolonging my settlement but also suggested the proper course of action which would help cut the reckless spending by my lawyer. Mr. Klein was so gracious and even picked up the lunch. I can’t be any more elated than having Mr. Klein as a pro bono consultant. If I ever get hit by a car I sure know who to call.

I strongly recommend Robert Sheinbein to all who need the services of an attorney. I am so satisfied with Robert Sheinbein's services that I feel obligated to let everyone know what kind of an attorney he is. He represented our company when we were sued, and due to his knowledge and skill the other party settled without us having to pay anything to them. That is not all. He recovered the money that we had paid him for his services by reviewing our business insurance policy and determining that we were covered for the legal fees. We had no idea that our business insurance even had that coverage. Surely, after reviewing the policy, Mr. Sheinbein sent several letters to the insurance company after which we were finally reimbursed the legal fees on this matter. Mr. Sheinbein also represented my father in a different matter and had settled the case to his satisfaction. The way this man works amazes me. He is thorough in examining the case and very informative in explaining it to you. He tells you the different possibilities that may arise from the case and how each possibility could be handled. He gives you enough information so that you, yourself can make the right decision regarding the case. Even though he is very persistent in collecting documents required for the case (which by the way works for your benefit), he is very nice and tactful all of the time. His charges were very fair and reasonable; and his billing detailed all of his time, work and expenses. Lastly, I am very certain that Robert Sheinbein is the best attorney out of all the attorneys that I have met in my life. I have been lucky to find him.

In every case, he is the best prepared attorney I have ever worked with and the most empathetic. Neither I nor the people I have recommended him to have ever lost a case, and where a settlement was involved, were well compensated.

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.
