Mr. Hersh is an excellent attorney, who dedicates his 110% on all his cases. First consultation is free and that is a big plus. My favorite thing is that he is available at all times with no excuses and he takes his time explaining all the pros and cons. He has been my family's attorney for the last 15 years and has won every case. He has done 3 civil litigation cases, 2 divorce cases and 3 accident cases.

Mr. Beck was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his handling of my real estate dispute, involving a condo-hotel development. Unlike other attorneys I had interviewed prior to Mr. Beck, he immediately gained a quick understanding of my case, was very accessible via telephone and always kept me up to date on developments as they occurred. Also, as compared to other attorneys (with even less credentials and experience), Mr. Beck's fees were very reasonable and fair. In the end, I got my case resolved very successfully, and would highly recommend Mr. Beck to individuals whom are facing legal issues related to real estate. I can honestly say that Mr. Beck was the most knowledgeble, professional and communicative attorney that I have ever dealt with, and I would recommend him at the highest level.

Attorney Robert Erickson was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to defend my husband from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My Husband, children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Erickson without reservation.

Upon the retirement of our long term previous business council and family attorney it was with absolute recommendation from him that we retained Joe as our representative. From our initial introduction Joe and his team have been approachable, attentive and responsive.
Apart from being a gentleman, Joe is a veteran advocate, formidable litigator and proven trial counsellor. Joe has a professional, knowledgeable and caring hands on team supporting him with all the skill sets found in large multi-office practices. I can’t express enough how satisfying it’s been working with Joe and his Practice Manager Katherine. I’m rest assured that between Joe and Katherine our matters whether simple or complex are handled professionally and with extreme knowledge and care. I, without hesitation highly recommend this firm.

This was my first time having to deal with a lawyer and I needed one on very short notice after being served on a Thursday and court was on the following Monday. Luckily a family friend highly recommended him. He had in depth knowledge of many aspects of law, and he had a way of making the whole process very understandable. Marco had an answer to every question (and I had many due to the situation of being falsely accused). He is very confident, professional, and friendly. Marco was great at communicating, always striving to find a convenient time for us to talk on the phone and promptly replying to my emails. I couldn't have asked for a better representation from a lawyer! If I every need a lawyer again, he will be the first one I call for advice and representation.

Four years ago, shortly after the death of our daughter, Tatum Holloway, in Miami, caused by a drunk, hit-and-run driver, we engaged and employed the services of Stewart Tilghman Fox Bianchi & Cain and Dax Bello. We live in South Africa so the US legal system was totally foreign to us. Dax went way beyond the expected service and, at great cost and effort, taking the time to hold our hands and our hearts in both the criminal and civil aspects of the matter. The process has now been finalized and we walk away feeling that as a family, we couldn’t have been served better. If Dax agrees to take your case, you will be very lucky! You can expect him to deeply care for you throughout the process, while trying to extract the highest recovery possible from your unique situation. He doesn’t over promise and under deliver, but will keep you grounded in a clear sense of reality. At the end of the process our family has great respect and trust for this great man who has served our family and the system of justice in Miami so very well. Thank you Dax.

Im not much of a write and truly never invest time in making reviews, but i feel it is necessary for me to do so now.....
First of all, I would like to say that Ken Swartz was recommended to me by my ex-mother-in-law
while I was dealing with a Federal Criminal Case. At the time I was extremely hesitant to contact anyone. My funds were limited and the government had provided me with an attorney. But , as the weeks went on , I found myself further neglected by my court appointed attorney and grew extremely frustrated with my situation , and contacted Mr Swartz.
i can now tell you ,after all has been said and done, that it was the best decision I could have made.
If there are any doubts, feel free to google my case, Jorge Ramon Hernandez in Miami , FL.... my story was a very popular one in the news. Ken Swartz was invaluable to the outcome of my case. I was part of an indictment with 13 people, and the attorneys for the others in my case were shadowed by the abilities of Ken in the courtroom.
He was extremely fair in what I was charged, and after meeting countless other people caught up in the system, what I paid was petty to what others paid in legal fees.
He learned my case better than I did, studied it, prepared and and fought better than I could have ever imagined.
Long story short, out of an initial probability of well over 10 year possible sentence, i received a sentence of 4 years, was given the RDAP program which cut off 12 months, served my time at the Prison Camp in Miami, and was given 9 months of Halfway House time....serving only 20 months.
He is a great person, and an amazing litigator.... I would recommend him to my family and friends, and am extremely grateful for his hard work and professionalism.

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.
