I recently spoke with Andrew about a legal matter I was unsure of. He took the time to explain not only what the correct legal course was but WHY it was the correct legal course, so that I could feel confident in the decision we settled on. 100% would use his services again, and cannot recommend him highly enough.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having mr charpentier represent us for a car accident. He was there any time of any day to answer all questions we had and to help us best understand what was happening and what to do next. I highly recommend Steve to anybody looking for lawyer that cares truly about you, your family, and how to get you the best outcome.

Paralegal, Kyndall Wilsnack, went beyond the Call of Duty in the handling of a probate case regarding my mother's estate. Kyndall was able to locate the legal documents necessary to proceed with the probate that I was unable to provide. She kept in contact with me on a regular basis, keeping me up to date on every step of the case. From the beginning of the free consultation, with Cheryl Ward, to the final resolution of the probate, I was impressed with their compassion and professionalism! I thank God I found them. Thank you, Kyndall!

After having been ghosted by another attorney, with less than 3 days to find a new lawyer to represent me at a hearing, I reached out to Chris. He called me right away and offered to help me get out of a pinch. He listened thoroughly to complicated details and jumped in. He thoroughly researched details and laws and helped me understand them with patience. He was honest about the pros and cons about the case which was refreshing. I trusted him after a very bad experience with another unprofessional attorney. He was sensitive to financial limitations and is very reasonable with charges. Thank you for being a shining star Chris! I highly recommend you.

I highly recommend Cheryl Ward for representation. I had hired another attorney prior to finding Cheryl, who took a retainer and then said my guardian case was too difficult and could be messy. I found Cheryl and she said that's what she does and she definitely didn't disappoint. She is smart, knows exactly what to do, when to do it, and will always listen and respect the wishes of her client. Her team of Kyndall and Liz are so helpful and always respond promptly to questions, helping along the way. You do not need to look any further than Cheryl Ward for the very best for representation for your legal needs.

I can't begin to describe the confusion and frustration I felt when I was accused of things I didn't even understand. But with Mr. Germain, everything changed. If you want someone who’ll go to battle for you and make sure your best interests are the only priority, he’s the one you need. Without him, I’d likely still be lost in the system, wasting years of my life. This man didn’t just save me time—he saved me decades. Mr. Germain demands respect by the courts and prosecutors alike. Having him on your side is like having a top-tier lawyer who knows exactly how to turn the tables. Trust me, don’t hesitate. Your public defender won’t stand a chance against him, and neither will your case. Retain Mr. Germain, then sit back and let him take over.

They could not get my name on at a time of great need representing Morgan and Morgan I expected way more than just someone who could not get my name right could not get the names of my doctors or doctors assistance right could not get the orders right. Leaving me to have multiple tripsps for the same things the. I must say the are not on top of the game they are not for the people I am living suffering proof. don't they understand the pain and suffering at the people are going through and they depend on these attorneys for help. and then they can't get nobody's name right they can't answer any telephone calls when regards I was in the emergency room and they had the information required to save a lot more discomfort and radiation. I just don't know what to do when I only understand the one language I believe I speak well, and then ask for one thing help with my medical situation that is the first thing I asked for. Who wants to be paralyzed who wants to be in constant pain who wants to be promised that they will get the help they're asking for to find out they get nothing but a incompetent at best paralegal who cannot get my name right cause me Mr cook cannot tell Bernice from brunette. When it's an emergency they forget about you at the emergency room while my family frantically is trying to contact them and given the experience line. I honestly don't understand I was told this was a good attorney but yet I am seeing something totally different. I specifically asked for Morgan & Morgan because I thought they had more medical resources which forgot to be the absolute opposite. All medical help that I received with prior to and after Morgan & Morgan it took them over two weeks just to get the paperwork wrong and the name wrong.

Here's another story that shows why John Moore is the go-to car accident lawyer in Brevard County. After getting hit in Palm Bay, I was drowning in medical bills and getting nowhere with insurance companies. Then John stepped in and completely turned things around. He's more than just a lawyer - he actually cares about his clients like we're family. He kept me in the loop, answered all my questions (even the silly ones), and his whole team was on point. The guy knows about injury law, and wow - can he negotiate? It got me a settlement that was way better than I thought possible. If you're googling around for a car accident lawyer near Melbourne, Viera, or anywhere on the Space Coast, save yourself some time and call John. I can't say enough good things about how he helped me through this whole mess. If you've been in a crash, don't wait - call his office. You'll be glad you did!

Lance got me 50% more than the Insurance company was originally willing to pay. The man went to bat for me. Like you would treat a good friend or someone that you really cared about. Anytime I contacted him he responded immediately even if to say he’d have to get back to me a little later. Extremely smart individual worthy of the super lawyer title. Able to converse regarding any subject matter knowledgeably. Pre-divorce I owned a company with hundreds of employees and a worldwide presence. It was my practice to hire exceptional people such as Lance. However in 25 years I only hired four people doubling their salary to get them to leave their current profession and position and work for me. If I still had that company I would’ve paid Lance whatever he wanted to work for me. Lance took the nastyness out of the situation I was in, added a lot of humor and quickly became my friend. Whatever game he plays, he’s at the very top of it. Who wouldn’t want an individual like that to represent them? I know they only give you five stars to rate the man but I give him 10 out of 5

I decided to leave them and sign with Eric Gillen. Thing started moving forward soon after Eric took over my case. My case was difficult because of the type of accident and the injuries I received. Eric was able to settle thing in a great way and help both my family and me . Finally wrapping this case up makes me feel great, I wish I had gone with Eric from the beginning it would've saved me a lot of time and energy. I recommend them to anyone! Make them your FIRST call!

Mr. Gorewitz represented us in a diminished value case for an automobile accident we were involved in. He did an excellent job and we were successful in recovering from the other insurance company for our loss. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Gorewitz was always available to answer questions we had and did a great job keeping us informed on all aspects of our case. At our court date, Mr. Gorewitz did an outstanding job presenting the case, interviewing our expert witness to establish his credibility and methodology, and exposing major holes in the insurance company's expert witness testimony. He was very much prepared and ready to win our case given his 30 years of experience in the legal field. My wife and I would highly recommend Mr. Gorewitz for those in need of a board certified trial lawyer and we would definitely want him to represent us in the future if the need ever arises.

After dealing with another attorney for my case and ending up getting the raw end of the deal, I met with Mr. Gorewitz personally who reviewed my case, he found that I still had a case to pursue, immediately went after the person who caused my accident and the insurance company and was able to get the full benefits I was entitled to. Never a problem talking directly to the lawyer whenever I asked. Office staff were extremely polite and knowledgable and the personal experience of having a case with this office will be always remembered and will definitely be used in the future if needed.

We were involved in a hit and run. We saw the driver's face and got the license plate number off the truck before he took off. We met with the police immediately after the accident and they said they would look into it for us and gave us a case number. Per the recommendaion of a family memeber, first thing Monday morning (this happened on Saturday evening) we were at Shane Smith's office. We met with Stacy Overbey, Case Manager. Had I known then what a pitbull she could be, I possibly would have been a little intimidated upon our first meeting, instead I felt right at home like I was meeting a friend of a friend. She was kind and professional and made me feel like I was going to be well taken care of. My feeling was right! Within a day she had began working diligently on my case. The owner of the vehicle told her insurance company that the car was stolen during the time it was invovled in the accident. After more research Stacy found out that the vehicle was back at home within hours of the accident and that it was never reported stolen to the police. She told me that it would be a longer process because the insurance company was not going to cooperate but that she would do everything she could to ensure that we were taken care of. And that she did! Within 2 months she got us everything we were hoping for and more! If you are looking for a lawyer who is knowledgealbe, professional, takes the time to keep you in the know and truly cares about your case, I would highly recommend Shane Smith and Associates!

Shane Smith and Associates have represented me twice in the last year. They are reliable, efficient, courteous and polite. They gave all the correcto advice and it’s because of them that a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders. Last year they helped me file for bankruptcy. When I went to court they treated me with respect and dignity. This year I was rearended and they are representing me as well. Amanda Wolf has been there from day one, helping me get coverage from the person who rearended, getting my rental, etc... I will continue to call them my lawyers, and you should too.

New to the Cocoa Beach area, I was in need of an attorney and unable to ask friends for recommendations. I did some internet researching and met with over 5 different attorneys. I hired Mr. Austin just over a year ago to defend a misdemeanor criminal case in which there were two charges. Communication was never an issue, he returned all of my calls & texts in regards to my case and regularly made time to explain in detail how the case was proceeding. Not only did he keep me informed, I feel he also gave me honest legal advice in regards to what was best for ME and MY case. One of the charges was ultimately dismissed with prejudice, the other had stipulations that had to be discussed and agreed upon with the DA. Mr. Austin argued these requirements to very fair and reasonable bottom line. Even with the majority of my case dismissed I was still able to get in contact with Mr. Austin with no issues. Obviously the facts of every case are different and the outcomes will vary, but I would say that the honesty and transparency of working with Mr. Austin made made me feel very comfortable and satisfied with his work.

When it comes to personal injury, Mr. Gillenwater is an excellent choice for representation. He sees his clients as more than just a number and is extremely personable. His advocacy skills in and out of the courtroom are excellent and he works extremely hard to get his clients the best results possible for their case. As a licensed attorney myself, Mr. Gillenwater would be my first choice for personal injury or any business disputes.

I hired this attorney to represent me in a slip and fall case. It turned out to be a huge mistake. We were offered $100K to settle but my attorneys recommended we go to trial. We were seeking over $4M. We lost the case and now I’m going to get $0. On top of that I have over $500K in medical expenses that I am now liable for and I’m concerned that I might have to pay additional legal fees. These attorneys give bad advice and are not competent in the courtroom.

My Name is Don P. I highly recommend Attorney Chris Lindbaek. He took my case on when it looked like my life was ruined. Although there was only $10,000 worth of insurance I was able to recover over 80 times that amount. Sure the process took a very long time but he was always there for me when I needed help. Even at the end of the case he made sure that every doctors bill was reduced and he fought them for every dollar. He kept saying a dollar saved from them is a dollar in your pocket. I appreciate him and especially Cindy, his assistant. To this day some 4 years after my case was finished I remain in contact with Chris and Cindy. I consider them friends. I would recommend Chris and his law firm.

Mr. Hamilton took my case after a driver ran a stop sign and t-boned me at high speed. I could not be happier with the entire process. They took care of all medical billing issues during the entire case and was able to get a very good sized payout after everything was taken care of. It is absolutely mandatory you have a great lawyer through a process like this and I found out I had the best one. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Hamilton at the Nance Cacciatore lawfirm.

If you are reading this, your attorney search is done. Let me explain. Erica agreed to represent me for an extremely important hearing regarding custody of my son. In a very short period of time, she was able to come up to speed on my case. Her preparation and attention to detail was obvious as she worked through witness testimony and her ability to respond to objections by opposing counsel was impressive (if I could have filmed her courtroom performance, I would upload here). Erica is an amazing attorney - I wholeheartedly recommend you call her office.

Always on time for everything. She saved my butt when everything against me was saying that I already lost. Very brillante, really caring, the most responsible person ive ever met. I had to write this review because I still feel like I haven't paid her enough. This woman is really good! She got my kids back really quick and helped me get my life together as well. Her and all of her staff are a team and well organized😊. I felt like family. The way she represented me I would have paid her anything she asked. I wouldn't put my life in anyone else's hands...

Paralegal, Kyndall Wilsnack, went beyond the Call of Duty in the handling of a probate case regarding my mother's estate. Kyndall was able to locate the legal documents necessary to proceed with the probate that I was unable to provide. She kept in contact with me on a regular basis, keeping me up to date on every step of the case. From the beginning of the free consultation, with Cheryl Ward, to the final resolution of the probate, I was impressed with their compassion and professionalism! I thank God I found them.

After having been ghosted by another attorney, with less than 3 days to find a new lawyer to represent me at a hearing, I reached out to Chris. He called me right away and offered to help me get out of a pinch. He listened thoroughly to complicated details and jumped in. He thoroughly researched details and laws and helped me understand them with patience. He was honest about the pros and cons about the case which was refreshing. I trusted him after a very bad experience with another unprofessional attorney. He was sensitive to financial limitations and is very reasonable with charges. Thank you for being a shining star Chris! I highly recommend you.

I highly recommend Cheryl Ward for representation. I had hired another attorney prior to finding Cheryl, who took a retainer and then said my guardian case was too difficult and could be messy. I found Cheryl and she said that's what she does and she definitely didn't disappoint. She is smart, knows exactly what to do, when to do it, and will always listen and respect the wishes of her client. Her team of Kyndall and Liz are so helpful and always respond promptly to questions, helping along the way. You do not need to look any further than Cheryl Ward for the very best for representation for your legal needs.

I was hit by a drunk driver in '04, John took my case and helped me not only receive finances for the damages, but also cleared the accusations that the accident was my fault. He kept me informed through every step of the proceedings, and met with me sometimes several times a week to make sure I was in the know. He offered free legal advice to my friends, and is a very likable person. If you want someone who is honest, real, and KNOWS what their doing and WILL recover damages done to you, go with John.

They could not get my name on at a time of great need representing Morgan and Morgan I expected way more than just someone who could not get my name right could not get the names of my doctors or doctors assistance right could not get the orders right. Leaving me to have multiple tripsps for the same things the. I must say the are not on top of the game they are not for the people I am living suffering proof. don't they understand the pain and suffering at the people are going through and they depend on these attorneys for help. and then they can't get nobody's name right they can't answer any telephone calls when regards I was in the emergency room and they had the information required to save a lot more discomfort and radiation. I just don't know what to do when I only understand the one language I believe I speak well, and then ask for one thing help with my medical situation that is the first thing I asked for. Who wants to be paralyzed who wants to be in constant pain who wants to be promised that they will get the help they're asking for to find out they get nothing but a incompetent at best paralegal who cannot get my name right cause me Mr cook cannot tell Bernice from brunette. When it's an emergency they forget about you at the emergency room while my family frantically is trying to contact them and given the experience line. I honestly don't understand I was told this was a good attorney but yet I am seeing something totally different. I specifically asked for Morgan & Morgan because I thought they had more medical resources which forgot to be the absolute opposite. All medical help that I received with prior to and after Morgan & Morgan it took them over two weeks just to get the paperwork wrong and the name wrong.

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.
