Mr. Poole made our case very easy! From start to finish I really did nothing. I had my first meeting with him he got right on everything. I had constant communication with his wife as well they were an email away! They made my experience very easy and staff are very nice! Also with my work hours accommodations were made for me when I needed to go to their office as well! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stress and worry free attorney!! I can not thank him enough for what he has done for me and my daughter!

There were continuing issues with my divorce that continued for 10 years. My original lawyer was no longer working on these issues. I consulted 2 other lawyers to help solve the outstanding issues. I hired one of them. A resolution required me to go back to court and I wanted a lawyer to help me with this. Both attorneys contacted recommended an adversarial approach. After 10 years, I just wanted to end it. Ms. Karkowsky understood my feelings and was supportive of my plans. She advised me on the necessary procedures and helped with the paperwork. She accompanied me into court. She was always available for questions and moral support. She helped clarify any outstanding issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal advice.

Doug Gross is not the typical attorney who takes your case and then doesn’t take your calls until HE wants to talk with you. On the contrary, he is attentive and knowledgeable and he cares about you. It was quite a relief to meet an attorney like him. He is dedicated to his work and his clients. I recommend him wholeheartedly to everyone who needs a lawyer with his expertise. I know they will be more than satisfied with his services.

I've been fortunate to have Doug as my attorney since 2002, through various on-the-job injuries. Worker's compensation can be a confusing and intimidating beast, especially when the employer is a county government that does not care in the least for its public safety employees. It's important to have someone on your side who understands how the system works and cares about your well-being. You need someone who knows what he's doing (which, believe it or not, seems to be more the exception than the rule), and this is the man to call.

He's a brilliant lawyer, which is good. What makes him great is that he cares! Him and Kristina were such a blessing to our family. A positive experience from the start. He found things other lawyers did not find. Those things were not all easy to find out. He delivered hard to hear facts about the case in as good a way as you could hope. After embarrassing the defense he set up my daughter to be taken care of for the rest of her life! We don't have to worry about her being put in a home to be forgotten. What I like the most is that he didn't stop caring after he got paid. He regularly reaches out to check in. I did not expect this!

Michale was great to work with because he made a point to make me feel comfortable by explaining things in a way I could understand them. I appreciate his calm, kind and possitive attitude. He always had time for me and was very good about following up so I knew what was going on every step of the way. I felt I could trust him which meant a lot. I also felt he really cared about my concerns and wanted to do the right thing. He makes a point to repect your feelings and show sensitivity when he has to deliver information that may be upsetting to a client. I knew I was working with someone who was experienced , knowledgeable and had my best interest in mind.

It took me a bunch of phone calls and horrible consultations before finding Ms. Jones to handle my worker's compensation case. I live in a smaller town where almost all of the attorneys who will talk to me about a work comp claim will set up a meeting for a lawyer who is in Baltimore in their office. The local lawyers don't take these cases, except this firm. I think they are the only ones who actually handle the work comp cases without shopping it out to another lawyer in the city. Not only did I get local service they are good lawyers too who handle a lot of different stuff.

I reached out to Skipper Law after I and some other owners at my condominium got into a dispute with our HOA over fire damage. I was put in touch Jeff, who was great! Jeff really gave me the sense that his interest was to figure out how to make the financially damaged parties in my case whole. Some other lawyers I'd talked to seemed more eager to sell me services then to figure out how to recover damages. Not Jeff. At several points, I asked about different legal options and his response was that could do them for me and charge me, but that ultimately they would do little to help my case. Thankfully, Jeff steered us away from suing, and helped us find other ways to get compensation. I would trust Jeff implicity to look after legal affairs and to provide sound legal advice.

Several years ago one of my clients became dissatisfied and demanded a refund for work already completed. Unfortunately for me the client was an attorney and so sued me when I refused. I shopped around and found Mr. Sutton who was by far the nicest and most concerned attorney that I had spoken to. It was quickly obvious that was he genuinely interested in helping me. He recommended that I "put the matter to bed" by paying the client because it would be the cheapest and easiest thing to do. Although he was clearly correct I was incensed that my client was essentially blackmailing me because their attorney fees would be zero and mine would be significant. None the less I decided to defend my reputation even though it would be more expensive than settling the case with a refund. Mr. Sutton understood my concern for my reputation and agreed that although I was obviously in the right it was probably not the wisest financial decision I was ever going to make. His zeal in defending me and his handling of the case were such that you would have thought that that he was the one being sued. He virtually took it personally and worked overtime even though I was paying him a fixed-fee for his services!! Although we prevailed at trial, the vindictive client appealed (why not? It cost them nothing) and Mr. Sutton agreed to continue helping defend me at a substantial discount because he realized this other attorney was a.) wrong and b.) abusing their position as an attorney to try to run-up my court cost so I would stop defending myself and pay them. Thanks to Mr. Sutton's hard work and very clever approach to the issues the appeal judge was able to rule in my favor. Thank you Mr. Sutton!! I think I can reasonably say that he is one of the finest attorneys in the country due to his professionalism, concern for his clients, and work ethic. Yet, despite all his hard work he was one of the most reasonably priced attorneys that I consulted in my search. If you need legal help, do not hesitate to hire him, you'll be glad you did.

The best decision I ever made was to retain Stewart A. Sutton as my family lawyer. He was recommended by one of my co-workers. I called him on Monday; and he provided me with a free consultation the following day. Stewart A. Sutton thoroughly explained the divorce process, including the division of marital property, custody, child support, and alimony. He discussed how he would handle my case and provided me with an estimate of what my total fees would be. I retained Stewart Sutton, because he impressed me with his knowledge and experience. Not only did Stewart Sutton provide excellent representation throughout my entire case, his total fees were almost 25% less than his initial estimate.

Jon handled my medical malpractice claim. He is extremely knowledgeable and able to communicate the laws, process and options clearly so that a lay person can understand. Early on he developed a strategy to handle the case, explained it to us for our concurrence and executed it to a tee. He is aggressive but looks for a satisfactory resolution without necessarily going to court. His extensive background in this area and innumerable contacts in the field made the process relatively painless. He and his staff (Missy) were always available to meet with us or to discuss things over the phone. As we proceeded through the process Jon kept us advised of what was happening even as things moved slowly thorough the system. One of my fraternity brothers is a lawyer who handles medical malpractice cases for hospitals (essentially Jon's opponent). When I asked him about Jon he said "he is one of the good guys".

Jon Brassel was my attorney for a wrongful death case. My husband died from aortic dissection, that could have been prevented. Jon came from his office in Annoppolis to Salisbury to meet with me. If I had to use only two words to describe Jon they would professional and companionate. You need both of those qualities when in a situation such as mine. I was 36 years old, our son was 8, devastated would be putting it mildly. When we met he had some information I sent him. I was afraid I was going to break down at this meeting. He ask questions, let me tell my story, and with his professional and compatiante manner I got through it. Leaving that day feeling hopeful. When I would get updates from Jon he explained process and laws and circumstances and made sure understood. If I didn't I never felt rushed, if I had questions. We went to deposition, the doctor sat in the room, his two attorneys and a recorder. I did not feel intimidated, I was comfortable with Jon being on my side of the table. Some time later we closed, we won. I went to his office I met his team of professionals who worked on my case. I still contact Jon from time to time and have sent pictures of life events. I consider him my friend. He gave me strength, hope and confidence. He is the reason I was able to carry on and live my life without financial burdens. I am so thankful to have found him to represent me.

Mr Ellis was my divorce lawyer. I can only say positive things. The reason I hired him in the first place is because he stated his main concern was the well being of my children. His every action and decision and advice was based on what was best for my children first ( which in turn ended up being best for me). He did not have surprise charges and always provided detailed, itemized bills. He always fought for me and treated me with respect and kindness. He also has many years of experience and contacts.

Mr. Depastina help me out so much! I couldn't be happier... I went through a hardship several years ago and was behind on my mortgage thousands and thousands of dollars I reached out for help from the bank and other lawyers and was turned down from the bank and about 3 different lawyers saying there was nothing that could be done to help me...I thought I was never going to get out of this nightmare. After 3 years of being depressed and not knowing weather I was going to keep the house I was referred to talk to Anthony. He gave me a lot of guidance and was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to handle the situation. The long short of it I was approved for the modification program and all the late fees were waved and the principle balance was reduced I saved about $150,000 dollars and my mortgage went from $1800 a month to $1048. I cant thank Anthony Depastina enough I couldn't have done it without him. If anyone is in a similar situation or knows anyone that is please call Anthony you will not be disappointed!!!

He filed his appearance and thru 6 court cases was in talks with the DA and Judges that reduced my charges to a minor infraction. I couldnt be happier with the outcome.

Custody issues can be very stressful not only for the parent, but the children as well. I am a father who had a lot against me and when it seemed that no one else believed me or would fight for me or my children she was right there. She always responded to emails and phone calls no matter how small the situation may have seemed. She walked me through each process giving me the best advice on what I should or shouldn't do. When we had our meetings I could tell that she actually listened to every detail and really cared about what I had to say.

If you are in search of an exceptional attorney who provides top-notch, exclusive legal counsel, then fate has led you to this review of Harry A. Suissa. When concluding that I needed an attorney, I knew that it would have to be someone very skilled and capable, and preferably seasoned. I've always heard that word of mouth yields better outcomes, so I figured that I'd ask around. The praises sang of Mr. Suissa were great enough to convince me to call him, and that was one of the best decisions I've ever made. With a divorce case as complex as mine, Mr. Suissa handled the delicate matters with finesse and the difficult issues with careful intensity. In courtroom presentation, Mr. Suissa is a charming powerhouse that is sure to deliver very well, as he exudes confidence, displays decorum, defends with subtle passion, and speaks with eloquence. In my opinion, an immensely important quality is a person's responsiveness. While under duress, having someone make you feel that their focus is on you and helping to solve your problems averts anxiety. Through persistent communication, Mr. Suissa secured my hope, despite any trepidations. The best part of it all, was that Mr. Suissa achieved results that far exceeded my expectations! At the close of my litigation, surprisingly, I had bittersweet feelings. I was thrilled that my dealings with the case were over, but Mr. Suissa and his firm invested so much time, energy, attention and regard to my case, that saying farewell was with the intended meaning of, until next time. Of course, no one welcomes unnecessary legal issues, but if there ever arises another need for an attorney, Mr. Suissa has the job! Harry A. Suissa is an A1 attorney, and when you retain his legal services, you'll be in good hands and great care.

I’ve never worked with a personal injury attorney’s office before and I really liked the process with Price Benowitz. Pat was always quick to respond to my questions and phone calls. I found Price Benowitz online and after speaking with one of the attorneys decided that I was going to use them for my case. I worked with numerous attorneys and I always found them to be very knowledgeable and were able to explain things to me easily. When I met with Patrick Rooney he made me feel very comfortable. I really enjoyed meeting with the attorney in person. Patrick was excellent and was able to negotiate with the other party who kept stalling. He was able to bring the case together and I would absolutely recommend Pat, John, and the rest of the Price Benowitz team to other people in a similar situation.

In life we never really expect to need an attorney. When/ if that time comes like most people I was scared of what to expect, the trustworthiness, the knowledge of my specific case, how long would this take.. All of my questions were answered, and answered timely. I never felt like I was "bothering him" Nick took time to understand my point of view, understand the case, he remembered facts. Yes part of this was "his Job" but above and beyond his job was the kind tone I heard on the other end of the phone each time I called, the rapid response of answering emails . The time he took to explain the details of my case to me. Law is not my area of expertise. I was confused and uneducated at times during this process, he made sure I understood each step of the way. He let me decide how to proceed with his guidance. He explained the benefit of each possible out come of my case. I never felt forced to make a decision to get my case over with. Each time a document that we were waiting on came in, I knew it arrived. When struggles arose in the case I was made aware of that as well. When appointments were needed, example a doctor appointment, I knew why it was needed and what to expect while there. When I had to sign documentation that looked like it was in a foreign language, because it used terms I did not understand, Nick broke down every sentence when I needed him to. He never treated me as though I was just a client, or beneath him if I did not understand what was happening he and his team always took time with me . I had a clear understanding of this process. Nick and his team were educated, helpful, understanding, and patient, . The guidance they provided went above what I expected.

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.
