Mr. Beatty represented me by chance in 2018 only because of not being able to be represented by the Public Defenders office. He was assigned as my Panel Attorney and I am eternally grateful to him. I was facing charges that could have sent me away for a very long time. Honestly, truthfully and right hand to our Lord these charges were false, with no evidence I was indicted. Mr. Beatty found the loophole, the tiny sentence written in a letter that allowed my freedom. Thank you with everything I am Mr. Beatty, I truly am eternally grateful to you. I HIGHLY recommend this gentleman to represent you. HIGHLY recommend him. You will NOT be disappointed or regret the decision in any way.

The police raided my house because they thought my son was dealing out my house but he wasn't. They found some pills on my sons friend who did not even live there was just visiting and they said we was all responsible. I spend 2 days at bookins and my son was no bail. My friend hired mr. Beatty and got it fixed up quick. First he got my son a bail and got him home on the box and when we all went to court mr. Beatty got it thrown out. I will keep his card and hire this man any time. He gave me back my life and my son. Best lawyer.

We first contacted Attorney Konigsberg after a three year contract that we were in was not able to deliver results to our industry due to Covid-19. Despite several interactions with the company, they refused to budge and claimed we were still required to continue with the terms of the contract for the remainder of the current year and all of the final year. Attorney Konigsberg was responsive, attentive, and advised us at all points along the way. Every time the company sent an email, Attorney Konigsberg contacted us. He gave us a few recommendations on routes to take, and we ultimately received a letter recently from the company that they accepted our terms to pay out the remainder of the current year and to waive the final year. I highly recommend Attorney Konigsberg and will definitely contact him again if future legal matters ever arise.

This up and coming young attorney represented me through some timultuous times in my life from 2015-2017. Without going into the personal and professional ups and downs I was experiencing with the law firm when he came on board, Attorney Konigsberg single handedly restored faith to his new firm. Always a genuine smile, Attorney Konigsberg always reported to work with integrity beyond reproach. Joseph usually always returned my emails and when he didn't he was very apologetic. Attorney Konigsberg had at least two wrongful monetary related health insurance related claims against me overturned. May God bless him in his future endeavors at his new law firm.

Robert Keehner is by far the most caring and intelligent lawyer that I have encountered. He has helped several friends as well as myself. In each case, he is always available to answer your phone calls at any given time. Most lawyers will not do this. He is also a fighter for you and your case. He will advise you and ultimately do what you are asking from him. My experience with other lawyers has shown that they just want the money and really don’t care about your situation. Other lawyers don't even get to know you by name, your just another client. Robert is the opposite. I recommend Robert Keehner as your only option. By far the best lawyer in the DMV.

I had actually hired another lawyer to pleade my case. My lawyer thought it would be best to bring in "the expert" and that was Mr. Zuber. My family had just sufferred a major tragedy and he was always so calm in getting us through it. I now live in North Carolina and our lawsuit was finalized 9 years ago. I still call on a Phil when I need a referral for an attorney in my state. He is the best, so I know he knows the best. Mr. Zuber was also facing a family tragedy at the time our lawsuit was going on. I didn't even know about it until our case was over. His compassion was always for us, not for himself. I recommend anyone I know in the Maryland area to use him. I will be forever grateful for helping us make the best out of such a terrible life changing event.

Holland Brownley picked up my case on a pro bono basis a mere 3 days prior to trial. It was not an easy case and the history was long and complicated, with a lot to catching up and reviewing to be done in a very short amount of time. Holland and her associate spent as much time as possible reviewing and preparing, given the fact that they only had the case 72 hours before trial! Holland then went into court, got the truth in front of the judge and presented a vigorous argument on my behalf. She was very patient with all my questions and anxiety about the situation. Since the trial, I have had several people say to me "You were lucky to get her, she is very good" - people who "'would know", such as social workers, law clerks and another attorney. I was, indeed, very blessed that she was willing to pick up my case, at the last minute on a pro bono basis. If you are looking for a lawyer, I HIGHLY recommend this one!

Tim has not only helped my husband out of multiple scuffs with the law, he's also served as a friend and mentor. He'll tell it like it is and give you the best advice possible. Tim helped pull my husband out of the gutter multiple times. He went to bat for us and in the FINAL hearing(because we're walking away from this mess). The prosecution wanted my husband to do a lot of jail time. So Tim ripped him to shreds police and witnesses alike. My husband is serving 2 days. Tim has been a great support and I wouldn't be here without him.

My family and I engaged Mr. Ronald Karp following my involvement as a victim in traffic accident (involving a truck) in 2012. Mr. Karp reviewed the case as it stood, and with his staff meticulously ferreted out the evidence to support my case. That evidence uncovered proved irrefutable and the several aspects of the case (medical, insurance, adequate compensation) were reviewed and comprehensively addressed. The fees for handling my case were addressed up-front without any further ‘add-ons’ that might have been otherwise expected. Mr. Karp was involved in interviewing me first-hand and was involved in acquiring medical reports on the extent of my injuries. At no stage was there any coercion, for me or my family, to settle on any offered compensation. In fact, his actions encouraged us to ‘stay the course’ through the lengthy process of settlement which he advised could be extended. We felt, that to a great extent, we would be directly influential and involved in the outcome of the case and were confident that our attorney was acting scrupulously on our behalf. Mr. Karp also, in his capacity of attorney, cleverly and successfully negotiated (on our behalf) with the medical insurance companies. In the end, we (my family and I) were very pleased and satisfied with Mr. Karp’s and his colleagues’ efforts. We benefitted greatly from such human sensitivity and support. We are extremely grateful. On the Michelin scale, the service rendered could only be described as five star (*****). We also consider this to be an understatement of our own appreciation of his services. To potential clients, we recommend his services unequivocally. Thank you Mr. Karp.

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.
