Our family had never required legal assistance before, so when it was needed, we were referred to Mr. Rudy Moreno. Being the first time we had to navigate the legal process, Mr. Moreno took the time to thoroughly explain our case, breaking down legal terms we were unfamiliar with and making sure we understood every step. His ability to clearly communicate, along with his professionalism and empathy, made us feel supported and confident that everything would turn out the way we were hoping it would. Spoiler Alert…It did! : )
Mr. Moreno successfully presented and negotiated our case, resulting in the outcome we were hoping for. Prior to this experience, we had a somewhat negative, stereotypical perception of what working with lawyers would be like, but Mr. Moreno completely debunked that notion. He listened attentively, was honest about our situation, and demonstrated genuine care for our concerns. Our experience with him and his office staff truly exceeded all expectations and deserves beyond a five-star rating.

Mr Ball, was able to help me maintain and expand my rights as a father who lives in a different state. He understands Active Military and federal employees and the schedules. Very capable. I had some disconnects in communication as we both had very hectic schedules but I had full faith in his ability and it proved to be well placed. Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Ramos helped me settle my divorce case with my nasty ex. I walked away with my future secured. I was very worried when I first met Attorney Ramos because of attorney horror stories I heard about attorneys in the Valley. A friend of mine referred me to Mr. Ramos. Right away he assured me things would be fine. I found his approach to be calming. In court, he was very professional and I could tell the judge listened to his arguments. Mr. Ramos is very prepared at all times and was never caught off guard.
Most importantly, he is honorable. He worked with me on the price, and he did not charge me an outrageous price as some of the other lawyers who were going to charge me more than three times more. I consider him a life long friend and would recommend him to anyone that needs help with a family law case.

I didn’t
know about this guy , he had a nice woman reach out to me. He fishes sites or ways to get clients. He has you do all this work for him and his gate keepers keep you wasting valuable time, then sends you a letter saying his office is to busy and can’t help you after you trusted him . Do not get tricked like I did . Law schools should reach higher when it comes to giving out a law degree, but since any nimrod can get a law degree make sure you do your homework. Do not waste your minutes on Mario .
He already got in trouble with the BAR , as it says . Once a cheater always, the saying goes . Buyer Beware with this guy .
Best place for him is RETIREMENT!!!!!
Best place for any of us is not trusting him.
Or his gate keepers who WOO YOU , just to send you a dear John letter .
What a LOSER

Mr. Rodriguez helped me with my injury case. It was a hard case and I did not report it until over 3 months. Yet, Mr. Rodriguez was able to get me a LARGE settlement. He is very ethical and I recommend him to everyone who is looking for a lawyer that they can trust.

Guy promised the world. Good communication, blah blah blah. Once he took my money. He will ignore your calls, voice messages, emails. This guy is not an attorney. He's a con man. I called him once when I was in town, and he answered pretended to be his "assistant." Once I told him the reason for my call, he clears his throat then laughs it off and tells me it's been him the entire time. Needless to say, if you need an attorney...DON'T HIRE THIS CONMAN.

they have been working on my case for over 6 months ago- gave "Jason" $500 to start on my case, yet no respnose - tried to call him and speak w/ him and guess what, this morning - His phone seems not to be working. This is a simple case of "real estate" property that could have been taken care of w/ in 2 weeks - now over 6 months. All docs are there, down from the Police investigation, you call his office, yet you only get an anwering machine as to where noone will return your call, even if you life depended on it. Really? Is this how you treat your "clients"

This is no my first rodeo, I had priors before. I used another lawyer who's office wasn't as fancy but he kept in contact with me and kept me in the loop every step of the way overtime I went to go pay him (he does payment plans) he would have me explain to me what happen. We even drove to the seen of the incident, I was arrested on a private field which was one route he was going to take. He also asked me where the officer was parked and were I was parked so on the day they questioned the officer there was no way he could have seen my car. He made out a power point with miles of how close he would have to me, the landlord of the lot I was on said he had no problem with me driving on his empty lot. Point is he got my case dismissed as he said he would. Fast forward 10 years I was pulled over for drinking they kept changing my name, never called me to explain what pleas they were going to offer, oh yeah and the first time I ever saw Armando was the day of my court day, he took the overly harsh plea and said he said he see at the next hearing and left. His assistant then asked when we could have the rest of the money, we said can keep paying the 500 dollars and he said if you have if by friday i'll know off 500 and we were umm what? then he said ok $700. I felt like I was in the movie Casino, Ugh dealing with Brenda which I'm guessing is the jack of all trades. She doesn't tell you whats going on. Nobody really does, if you want a lawyer who puts you at ease and is in contact and with you 100% of the way. This team is not them. I have one more case and looking for another lawyer to get rid of this one and just have a better try and fix my last misdemenor. The worst do not give this lawyer you business or trust. I should have done my research hope this helps

I signed a contract with Stern Law Group who sent out findings one of the defendants quoting they found him completely at fault. They never filed a Motion with the Court for representation and the letters are commingling facts the closer we get to litigation. Then out of the blue they recused themselves citing wrong issues of record. The did not file the Motion to Withdraw since they never filed the Motion of Counsel of Record.

I found out that she did malpractice on my mother's case. She told my mom that the case settled. My mom signed the release form to accept the settlement and the attorney gave my mom her "portion" of the settlement. In a nutshell, the statue of limitations of the case had expired. My mom could no longer proceed with her case with another attorney. Mom didn't do anything about all this, she is of she & continue with pain due to her fall. Don't waste your precious time with her. It's not worth it.

We used this attorney and she does not answer phone calls nor does she have the complete knowledge required to thoroughly represent someone. It was like pulling teeth to get a call back or email reply from her. Years later and the case is still open!

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.
