I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with Pandora Palmer and her amazing team of professionals! My divorce was a long, drawn out, grueling two year process. When I first met with Pandora, she immediately showed compassion for me and my situation. She and her paralegal, Tiffany, got right on my case, being thorough in researching all aspects of it. Pandora presented me with the facts of what I was facing and gave it to me straight--no sugar coating. She was honest...but with compassion. My case was handled with the utmost importance and professionalism. Phone calls, faxes, and emails were promptly returned. Meetings and correspondence was very detailed. My ex-husband had the worst attitude and behavior throughout the entire process and his attorney/team was less than professional. However, Pandora and Tiffany were firm--countered swiftly, and remained poised and professional at all times. They showed genuine care and concern for me and my minor child, and even showed the same level of care and concern for my oldest child, who is a young adult and was not being represented in the divorce for that reason. My divorce has been final for a few months now. My ex-husband and I had to be back in court just recently to address attorney's fees---Pandora got great results on that too! Should you ever be in need of an awesome attorney, who will fight for you and follow through with great results, I highly recommend Pandora Palmer and her team of professionals as your attorney...you won't regret it!

Jordan's commitment to excellence is evident in everything he does. In the courtroom, his strategic thinking, meticulous attention to detail, and formidable advocacy skills ensure that he is always prepared and persuasive. However, it's his personal investment in his clients' well-being that truly sets him apart. Jordan is not just an attorney; he is a steadfast supporter and advisor. He understands that behind every case are real people facing real challenges, and he handles each situation with empathy and respect.

Not sure where to begin, Take the profession out of it for a moment and what I found about "The Guy " Jordan Van Matre is simply defined but almost non existent and rarely found, He's simply a man of integrity, someone you can trust and believe in, To me he became a friend and not just my attorney. After telling him about the initial reason I came in, a car accident I explained a situation about my dad passing and my half brother the executor pretty much ignoring me in what should of been done, I was homeless at the time and down for a while, Jordan later got the 35,000 and the car my Dad left for me, looked at me and said I'm not taking anything from that you need it way more than me. I gave my 5 kids $5000 apiece it's not much but at 18 they will receive it and it will be available to get there life started as adults with a car or whatever is needed. That's Made possible by a selfless, believer in the Lord, Stand up for what's right, non judgemental and solid in his commitment to you and your situation attorney at law, Jordan Van Matre. I consider him a friend and stand on you will meet no other attorney whose as easy to talk to and cool as a fan, in his fight for me and you though, I got a little behind the scenes view, he put on the heat...He's a helluva guy, I consider him a friend, my lawyer for life, a fighter for us we can Trust. Thank you Sir for the work you did and for when it comes to attorneys, being "That Guy" Jordan Van Matre

I think that everyone should have Uninsured, underinsured (UM). There are a lot of uninsured drivers and a lot of hit and runs.
25k is the personal liability minimum. The cost of medical providers depending on your injuries can surpass that. Without UM, you would be lucky to get any money.
When that happens everyone has to take less to close the deal.
I have had two automobile wreck cases with Nicola Cummings LawFirm. I received great recoveries on both. I have another one period, the other two were hit and runs.
They are local in Mcdonough.

This matter involves a case with my daughter who was involved in an accident. We selected the law firm through the legal plan from my husband’s employer and the reviews from google. The lawyer who handled her case was not Ms Cummings but an associate attorney Mike. My experience with him was unfortunately not pleasant. Having conversations with him was very frustrating at times because he was not very organized. He reported medical bills that were not associated with her injuries to myself and in the subsequent lawsuit paperwork that was filed, which to me is dishonest. When meeting with him at the end of case we were informed that the previously discussed 25% fee discounted from 33% because of the legal plan, was no longer valid because he had to file papers for a lawsuit. The case never went to trial no depositions or subpoenas were made but the office filing the paperwork somehow constituted a lawsuit. Be careful when retaining this office for your legal counsel. It’s a very expensive lesson learned where the injured party receives 20% of the settlement funds and still has to pay for the repairs to their vehicle from the 20%. When this was pointed out attorney Mike made repeated “suggestions “ for me to file a claim against my personal insurance company under my UM coverage. I gave the review 2 stars because the paralegal that communicated with my daughter was very professional. Again, my experience was not with Ms Cummings so I don’t know if that would have made a difference.

Excellent attorneys. Cannot recommend enough. As an attorney who found myself needing an attorney, Suesan Miller came highly recommended and lived up to the hype! She is exactly the sort of attorney you want representing you. When you interview attorneys, familiarity with the court you are in front of is key. She not only knows the law, she knows Henry County because she is in court all the time. I expect she has similar familiarity with the surrounding counties and if she doesn't I'd expect her to be honest and upfront about it. That is just the sort of professional she is. Her level of experience means she knows the best way to resolve your case and can give you a realistic expectation of how you will fair at trial or plea negotiations.
Suesan Miller was also on my side from the start. She was clear and communicative and easy to get in touch with. Her office responded quickly to any message I left and kept me fully updated on the status of my case. They called and texted and emailed to ensure I was where I needed to be when I needed to be there. Her office treated me with respect, explained what was going on, and did what they said they would do in a timely manner. I know a lot of attorneys and Miller, North & Brill are some of the most professional I have ever encountered.
Hopefully I won't be back, but if I ever need another defense attorney they will be my first call.

I reached out to this law firm and I was contacted by this law firm. This was for only a review but once my case was reviewed the attorney called me and just wanted me to listen to what she had to say. Upon doing so I informed the attorney that I was the client and she wanted to inform me about what the other lawyers that I had previously had said.This is very unprofessional as far as client lawyer privileges she wanted me to only listen to what she had to say and did not want to listen to me. I will not recommend this law firm to anyone. A lot of attorneys are only out for their selfish motives and this is one. Very poor service

Please beware!!...this not what you want!!!
...I found this attorney on a flyer and should have known then he was desperate and a scam artist. Despite the suggestion to look into this attorney before hiring. I paid a heavy price for not taking that suggestion. This person I don't even feel comfortable calling an attorney was never actually acting on my behalf. His customer service sucks, so if your expecting a response to phone calls, texts or emails forget it. I got a DUI while inside my home sleep...that's right sleep not in a vehicle and on private property. Too add I also received a failure to maintain lane charge and I was never driving. When I asked what I should expect for his fee .. never got an answer. Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for representation. Don't end up like me. My only hope at this point is to seek " real " council to plead with the court on my behalf.Please beware!!...this not what you want!!!

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.
