Mr. Stiers worked with us at a time when we were dealing with a highly emotional and stressful situation. We could not have asked for a better attorney. He was all of the above and then some. He was very diligent, extremely knowledgeable and very patient with us. There was never any rush for us to make a decision on any of the multiple aspects related aspects to
our case. He was very good at providing guidance without any pressure at all.
I would definitely recommend Mr. Stiers.

I am a licensed attorney in the State of Florida. I began my practice in Key West, Florida in 1986. Soon thereafter I meet Ira Leesfield who’s firm did personal injury work. My field was limited to mostly real estate and real estate development and had no interest in pursuing personal injury law. Having said that, I think it is important for all attorneys to be able to provide various services to clients including trying to find the best attorney to represent the client’s interest in areas they have no experience. Even with a limited practice I would be asked about personal injury cases. Those clients of mine who hired Ira’s firm, without exception, got excellent results. From minor injuries to horrific injuries, I found, and still find, that Ira’s firm will evaluate the case fairly and provide the client with a reasonably expectation of the process involved and will avoid giving false hope where there is none. Also Ira’s firm consistently keeps in constant touch with the client as well as referring attorneys so each knows the progress of a case. Finally I can tell you that if I personally were injured, Ira Leesfield is the first person I would call.

I suffered an injury while working in mid July of 2008. After being seen by several doctors, I was informed that my workers comp. claim had been denied. After returning to work for a short time I found that I could no longer perform my duties. It was at this point that I knew I needed legal assistance. I wanted an attorney with workers comp. experience whose office was local to me. After considering my options I decided to hire Suzanne Gorowitz to represent me. Ms. Gorowitz agreed to take my case and wasted no time. She was very professional and knew exactly what to do. Anytime I had a question, a quick e-mail always got a fast response.

I'm very satisfied with the service provided by Nina Tarafa, she is very professional and responsive. I highly recommend her services.
Read more
02 Jan, 2015 by Jorge
My experience with Ms. Tarafa was at first a difficult one as my case was being investigated and discovery and depositions were being scheduled. I was facing up to 15 years in Federal Prison. Ms. Tarafa's demeanor is that of a pitbull in a skirt when it comes to defending her clients, regardless of guilt. Her background having worked for the State Attorney serves as an excellent frame of reference in her negotiations. She's upfront with her clients, but also empathetic enough to get to know who she's dealing with. After negotiations with the State, Ms. Tarafa was able to assist me in a plea deal and sentencing that was favorable and was able to help me "avoid the worse case scenario."
If you find yourself in a tough legal situation, you want Ms. Tarafa on your side - she will give you all the facts and those are scary to hear most of the time, but she will also assist you in assuring that, as she told me after my first hearing, "will fight to get you the results that are best for your lifestyle." She certainly delivered, I'm writing this review from work and I can carry on with my life under community control, no tether, with reporting to a PO once a week which is certainly better than 15 years in Federal Prison that would've stripped me of a normal life.
I am forever indebted to Ms. Tarafa for her determination to assist her clients.

I haven't had the best experience with lawyers in the past. But, Ms. Nina Tarafa had our complicated case and did beyond wonders for us with a huge victory. When I met her for the first time, I heard a knowledgeable professional with a logical course of action to successfully win the case. She is competent, highly skilled, understanding, compassionate, displays the highest ethics, and is aggressive in court when she has to be and she never gives up on the case. She keeps you informed, always makes herself available as soon as she is able to, even if it is just to see how you are doing, she shows you exactly the work and plan that she is going to be presenting for you in court. Ms. Nina Tarafa was a former Chief Prosecutor for Miami Dade County, so she really knows the strategies and tactics to use in your defense in court by already having the experience of being on both sides of the judicial system and court room. She is the only attorney from now on that my family and I will be going to for any legal matter. The best legal counsel can be the very difference between an acquittal or a conviction. Because of that I highly recommend Ms. Nina Tarafa without any hesitation. Thanks Nina and God Bless!

For those seeking council I highly recommend
Retaining Mr. Levin. He is not only fair , he gets
Results. I found him to be effective, trustworthy
And extremely cooperative . He has an excellent
Repoire with not only his colleagues and the community
But The State Attorneys office and the current sitting
Judges. Mr. Levin always took my calls and listened to
My questions while explaining my options
And taking my input into consideration.
I was extremely lucky to have found him
Through word of mouth. In fact he came to my
Family's home on a Sunday during a critical
Time to help me navigate a very harrowing
Experience. He foes his due diligence and is
Devoted and empathetic to his clients.
He's not a bully in court, no need for hubris
His record speaks for itself . Understanding
The nature and nuances emotion can play in the criminal
Justice system is an underestimated skill. He handled
The media with fineness and composure to let me retain
Some of my privacy. We all know this can be challenging
These days considering how intrusive they can be.
It was with great communication he helped
Me to reach decisions pertaining to my case
And ultimately avoid trial and reach a timely
Plea deal. Most importantly to move foward
In my life. It is with much gratitude I share
My humble opinion and I am honored to know
There are still people like him you can count on
After all is said and done .

Atty. Clancy's professionalism and work ethic convinced me that he was a better choice than another attorney I was considering in my car vs. bike accident. Originally, I had inquired about another matter and he answered my litigation questions succinctly and effectively and then networked to get the best solution for me. While he will only be guiding me in this small claims suit, his example of dedication and competence prompted me to turn over a much larger case (car vs. bike crash claim) to him and also refer my neighbor who needed counsel in a much larger tort case to him as well.

I hired Ruth upon first speaking to her because she didn't lie to me and tell what I wanted to hear or was expecting to hear except the truth of my case and situation and what to expect. She doesn't play games or make false promises to get your business. I truly appreciate ethics like that. Having her as an attorney was a breath of fresh air. I wasn't worried about being lied to and she kept in touch with me throughout the entire process and fought hard for my rights when workers compensation was failing me. If you're looking to be represented by the best and most ethical worker's comp attorney look no further. I highly recommend her.

I had years dealing with a challenging marriage that was leading nowhere. Closing this chapter in my life was somehow painful and emotional but it was very necessary. So I decided to look for a local firm that could help me with this process. I knew it was going to be difficult but thanks to my attorney at Gallardo I was able to find out about so many things I didn’t know about which were working on my behalf and some others I already knew about but my attorney was able to explain to me. My attorney was extremely professional and accommodated all my legal issues. I would recommend all his services to anyone looking for a lawyer that truly cares. And the best for last, I was able to get full custody of my little one. As a mother, this is priceless. I would have spent every penny to do so if that was necessary because I knew my child was not safe with my ex. Thanks Gallardo for your patience and care, I will be forever indebted to you.

It felt very good to not only find someone who listened to my huge dilemma, but to actually be provided with SOLUTIONS. She is the reason why I was able to get a very good settlement and didn't have to wait forever to receive it!

Mr. Cory Lapin was extremely helpful in negotiating a hospital bill based on me and my fiancés behalf.

Being in the medical field I did not find this acceptable, and upon further investigation, she has an a emergency appendectomy. Mr. Lapin helped formulate a well thought out letter professionally explaining the entire situation and why we should not be liable for such a hefty medical bill, and a few days later our bill was cut by 80%.

Most criminal defense attorney's don't offer such a caring and interested attitude. Grant is the exception to the norm, he cares about the family's concerns and needs, as well as his client. He achieved a result that absolutely served our loved one well. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

My child is OUT OF JAIL because of this lawyer. He had been arrested and held with No Bond and the charges were scary and involved a gun and a robbery and the prosecutor was talking about sentences of 25 years in prison. The other lawyer we hired barely even visited our son and said the jail was far away. We lost a lot of money on him.
When we hired Mr. Dwyer, he visited Carlos the same day. He explained to us the process and made it clear to understand. He found the problems in the case and before we knew it the prosecutor was announcing a dismissal and are son is HOME.

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.
