Wally took on my case even though many other attorneys declined to due to its complexity. I am forever grateful of the services he provided, because without his help, I wouldn't have been reunited with our daughters. Through the years, he has consistently shown himself to be a man of high integrity, honesty, and loyalty. He is very dedicated to his clients and has clearly demonstrated that he has their best interest at heart and that he genuinely cares. Furthermore, he has always responded to and filed necessary documents in a timely fashion, has kept me informed of strategies and communications, and has patiently answered any questions I had. He is very professional, skilled, and knowledgeable in his field. Finally, with that said, it is through his outstanding character and expertise that Wally has earned my complete trust. I highly recommend him.

Isaac and his team provided me with exceptional support after a dog bite attack. The process to get help to cover my medical expenses went way off course due to the other party but Isaac always provided me with reassurance that my case would be resolved. He offered support and provided realistic options for me to consider, making sure I understood what was going on. He also made sure to cross all T's before moving on to the next step. Isaac is very sharp - it helps when legal language is not your norm!!
Unfortunately, Isaac wasn't going to receive anything back by helping me after insurance coverages were denied. He continued to work on my case until it was settled!! I know for a fact I wouldn't have gotten this far without Isaac's help!
His team responds efficiently and always made effort to look into my questions. I would highly recommend this team should anyone ever need a personal injury lawyer.

I highly recommend Tyroler Leonard Law for anyone seeking legal representation for an auto accident case. Working with them was an incredibly smooth and stress-free experience. From the beginning, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal process and handled everything with professionalism and efficiency. What truly stood out was their commitment to clear and timely communication—they kept me informed every step of the way, answering all my questions and explaining the complexities of the case in simple terms. They were always available to provide updates and made me feel confident that my case was in good hands.
In the end, Tyroler Leonard Law helped settle my case quickly and fairly, with minimal hassle. Their dedication, expertise, and client-focused approach made all the difference. If you're looking for a law firm that prioritizes transparency, responsiveness, and results, I wholeheartedly recommend Tyroler Leonard Law.

I had never had an interaction with a lawyer before and had no idea where to begin even finding one for my personal injury claim I wanted to make against a major corporation. I knew I was in way over my head but after reviewing Jeff's profile/resume, I called him for a consolation. I got a call back from him right away and he was very engaged and offered to help. We met right away and I hired him on the spot. He was very proactive in regards to staying on top of all things related to the case and had tremendous communication throughout the process. He negotiated on my behalf and he was very firm in representing my wishes. I eventually settled before we filed suit for a generous amount. The process was something I put entirely into Jeff's hands, and he represented me better than I could have ever expected. I endorse Jeff to the fullest and recommend using him whole heartedly.

I hired Tim after I was injured in a car accident in 2014. Having never been in an accident before, I had all sorts of concerns and question about what was going to happen next. From the very start, Tim and his great staff eased my concerns and doubts by taking the time to sit down with me and walk me through each step of the process. They listened to my questions, and always communicated clearly and in a timely manner. I truly felt that they cared about not only my case, but about me as a person. It was great having someone experienced on my side to navigate the process and take on the insurance companies. If you've been injured in any type of accident, I'd recommend giving Tim a call. You'll be in good hands.

Contacted a couple criminal attorneys a when I got charged for a dui, there explanations and fees were so scary and intimidating but when I reached out to Scott Anderson he made it so easy from the go with his explanations, availability ,fee and calmness. Yes I haven’t been in many troubles but I can boldly say Scott Anderson is the best in this game as he helped me knocked down the charge to a careless driving even before the court date. What baffled me most Scott is literally available to pick my calls anytime of the day and would take his time answering whatever questions thrown at him. I will recommend him anytime any day.

Rick Schroeder and his colleagues know insurance inside and out. He helped me get the care I needed to heal when my insurance company said I should be good but wasn’t. He also helped me access insurance benefits I didn’t even know I had which, of course, my insurance company never mentioned. – Barb S.

I approached Mr. Bachmeier back in 2017 with my case which involved immigration and an incident back in 2013. He advised me on different options we could approach to lead to a favorable outcome for me. He was quite truthful, and honest and responded promptly to all my emails and inquiries. He encouraged me to be patient and eventually his efforts helped me attain my naturalization without any issues. I vouch for Mr. Bachmeier and I encourage anyone to hire him. He does not overcharge for his services and is a man of his word.

Gregory Bachmeier was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and seemed impossible.
I hired Gregory Bachmeier to help out with my complicated issue and without any hesitation he took my case. Not only was he able to defend me but reinstated my honor from an abusive relationship.
I am so grateful for what he did. Me and my family are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Gregory Bachmeier without reservation.
Thank you, Greg!

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service provided by my lawyers, who guided me through a complex situation with unwavering professionalism and dedication. From our very first interaction, it was clear that I was in the hands of true experts. Despite my own uncertainties and occasional difficulty in communication, they remained patient, understanding, and incredibly supportive.
Their thorough understanding of the law, combined with their strategic approach, made a profound difference in my case. They took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I felt informed and empowered, even when I didn’t know what I was doing. Their commitment to my case was evident in every step they took, and it was reassuring to know that I had such capable professionals advocating for me.
What truly stands out is not just their legal acumen but their kindness and compassion throughout the process. They made an effort to listen to my concerns, address my fears, and celebrate my victories, no matter how small. This personal touch made all the difference and turned an overwhelming experience into one that I felt confident navigating.
Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I achieved an outcome beyond my expectations. I wholeheartedly appreciate everything they have done for me and can confidently say that their efforts have positively impacted my life. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone in need of legal support. Thank you once again for being such wonderful advocates and for your unwavering support during a challenging time. You truly are remarkable!

They made the whole process so much easier for me by handling most of the work and ensuring all the documents were perfectly prepared. I honestly can’t imagine getting better service anywhere else.

I wish there was a rating of 1 to 10 because Mr. Keyser deserves a 10 out of 10! The overall experience of going to court can be a very unsettling and stressful process... Mr. Keyser genuinely cares about his clients and the overall outcome of their cases!
While I was drowning in anxiety and uncertainty of my case, Mr. Keyser walked me through the entire process and actually got me a better outcome than I had originally anticipated!
I would highly recommend to have Mr. Keyser in your corner for all of your law/court needs!

Ken LaBore is an excellent attorney, who is outstanding in his field. The combination of his integrity, authentic concern, ability to listen and sheer focus are some of the reasons I chose to be his client and would do so again.
He is a careful listener and provides thoughtful and practical advice. He has a clear understanding and command of the law. Ken is an effective advocate for his clients, whether in settlement or trial. He also has high professional integrity and commitment to the practice of law and to his client.
Ken focuses on elder abuse cases against Minnesota nursing homes. He is incredibly intelligent, dedicated and experienced in his field. He is truly a compassionate advocate and a wonderful example of how lawyers can help get justice for those wrongfully injured. I strongly recommend Ken LaBore for legal services relating to nursing home abuse and neglect.
As a senior paralegal and former client, I personally know that Ken LaBore is hard working, dedicated, and empathetic. His knowledge and advice are always delivered with kindness and compassion. I do not hesitate to rate him with 5 stars. He is a very honest attorney, always with great moral standards.

Ken was our attorney following a head-on car accident. He went above and beyond. No issue was too big or small for him to tackle. We could tell right away that he had our back and would fight for us. He brought a ton of expertise but also listened to our perspectives, which was really important to us. He explained all of the complexities of a legal case to us and made sure we understood what was happening and what our options were. We are extremely grateful that Ken represented us.

Ken worked diligently with understanding and compassion with our grieving family after the wrongful death of our Mother. His heart is in the right place and he always listened to our concerns as he aggressively attacked the nursing home whose negligence took the life of our Mother. Because of his proactive work he forced the nursing home to make changes to protect other elderly residents, and for that we feel our Mother did not die in vain. He is not your typical attorney and we highly recommend him.

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.
