Lorena is truly an amazing person to work with. She’s very kind and extremely professional attorney that will fight for you with confidence. I loved that she’s straight forward and doesn’t leave you second guessing or unsure. This was my first actual experience working with an attorney and was left with little to no questions since Lorena seriously explained everything thoroughly and handled my whole case as if she was going above and beyond. I had a great experience although it was a rough situation at first, she fought for me the whole way. I HIGHLY recommend working with her!!

This lovely lady is great. She will fit and make time to speak to you. Not only speak;however, give an ear to hear what you have to say. Just like any busy lady she may be tied up at the moment, and at the end she will pick up your call just to not ignore you! The thing about confidence people is that they do things over and over again. Michelle will show you more then her confidence, but able to compare past cases to show what will take place threw out time. Pick her mind, you and her will cover all areas of Frequent problems that is happening with out you even knowing. Give her less then 48 hours. You will get a call back. Even a call back to recommend another friend that works in the type of case you are up for. How can you not trust some one that is honest enough to decline and forward you to the right person like that? Best review is the short ones! HA

If you need a great employment lawyer, call Brian.
I spoke with many lawyers before hiring Brian. He was the only attorney who told me about all the claims I had, and then got me what I was due.
He answered all my calls; he responded immediately to all my e-mails; he kept me up to date on the progress.
He is an excellent lawyer, and person.

The people I know personally that have used Charles Swain (including myself ) have only had success in the courtroom. In one instance I was having an issue with a facility and with one letter from Mr. Swain they cooperated fully. I highly recommend this attorney.

I fell in a gas station and hurt my shoulder and elbow. I called a few attorneys and they said that the case was too difficult to win. A friend told me to call Steinberg Injury Lawyers because they did a good job for her after a car accident. So I called and they said they could help! And they did. Peter Steinberg settled my case quickly and I am happy with the settlement. He got all of my medical bills paid and I was reimbursed for my time off of work after the accident. I will (and do) recommend the firm to any of my friends who need an attorney.

I talked to many lawyers before choosing Mr. Hundley. His positive attitude was the first ingredient that separated him from others. He handled my case with professionalism and care. It felt like I was working with a friend as well as a knowledgeable advocate . I had a wage and hours case. It was resolved as quickly as possible considering several issues with the defendant's responsiveness. He was candid about the process and available to answer questions when necessary. Our agreement was contingency based, but he put several hours of preparation and work into ensuring a favorable outcome. He delivered on exactly what he said he would do. He also followed our contract to the T after the case and his expenses were right in line.

We are delighted to have an opportunity to recommend Kate Harvey Lee. Kate did outstanding work on a challenging personal injury case. The first two attorneys we contacted turned us down. A third attorney we contacted recommended Kate. She prepared a demand letter that masterfully summarized the case, presenting evidence that required considerable time and effort to obtain. The document had a powerful effect on the plaintiff's insurer. After extensive negotiations, a settlement was arrived at that greatly exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire process, Kate made it very clear what was going on, answered my questions promptly and in a way that was easy to understand. She outlined very clearly the pro's and con's of settling this case vs going to trial, not pushing for one option over the other but instead giving us the information that we needed to make the decision. This part of a case can be quite difficult as nobody can give definitive answers on what a judge or jury is likely to do. She excelled in explaining what the options were at each stage of this case. All in all we are very happy that we chose Kate Harvey Lee to represent us.

Attorney Chow is professional, pleasant, and polite. I really like her style. Unfortunately she was unable to take my case because of time constraints, but was very helpful. Attorney Chow represented a few of my family members, and they have nothing but positive things to say about her. I would strongly recommend given her a call first to discuss your legal issue.
Thank you Attorney Chow.
I appreciate you.

Rahel Kent is on top of things! I was hit by a vehicle in Los Angeles last year; I decided to hire Rahel when another lawyer made a colossal mess out of my case and nearly caused me to miss some deadlines. Rahel coached me through getting things back on track and all the gears began to turn in the right direction; Things I had worried about for months began to disappear and clear up. Rahel knows the law and knows how to talk to the right people in a way that gets surprising results. I am very happy with the settlement and all of the loose ends were tied up promptly. This lawyer is very proactive about the many details in your case and will keep you notified each step of the way. I could not have asked for a more equipped and hardworking lawyer than Rahel, I would recommend to anyone. Thanks again!

In the 15+ years I have been represented by Jon Turigliatto, his attention to detail, precision, and follow through have been exemplary. He has helped to navigate the many legalities that are involved with owning and operating a business. His character and knowledge in the legal profession separate him from his peers, earning him the highest recommendation.

Micheli was recommended to me by a friend who had used her services in the past. When I called Micheli, she was very personable and answered all of my questions regarding my legal issue. She was very comprehensive in her approach and constantly reassured me that she would take care of my case from beginning to end.
I specifically appreciated that Micheli always returned my phone calls and emails. She is very hands-on and kept me updated throughout the process. Even though the court system can be daunting and an extensive process, she made sure to keep me informed the entire time. Micheli's attention to detail is not only impressive, but necessary when it comes to legal matters. Most importantly, she was extremely patient in answering all of my questions and never made me feel "less than" her equal.

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.
