David has been extremely helpful in getting us set up with the proper forms and procedures to move forward with confidently providing Telehealth in our mental health clinic. The process was quick and straightforward, and David has been quite accessible when we’ve had follow-up questions. We’d had difficulty with other prior options we’d looked into that were prohibitively expensive or had poor follow-through. So glad to be able to provide this to clients while knowing we’re in compliance.

When I first called Brent in a panic, he had the same sence of urgency as I did. I felt he truly cared and had the " I can definitely help you attitude". It was because of Brent, that I felt secure, and could sleep at night knowing that he was behind me and in my corner. I truly recommend Brent and will definitely be contacting him should the need arise.

Facing criminal charges is one of the most scary and stressful situations an individual can experience; but being represented by Mr. Sherry with his 30+ years of experience, sound advice, and calm and collected demeanor allows the accused the ability to exercise their constitutionally protected rights. If you are ever facing criminal charges, I highly recommend you contact Bill Sherry.

Didn’t disappoint it took longer than expected but I can take the blame for that because I dragged on getting him the documents he needed. But as soon as I got him everything it took him weeks to get me approved and a check to me. Very happy with Brandon. You won’t be disappointed.

I walked into Anthony's office after my first real experience with the appalling privatized American justice system. I was confused, horribly wronged and overall felt very little hope past that of acquiring the services of a good lawyer. Anthony and Lisa were so understanding and Tony's confidence made me feel more secure of the situation right off the bat and he told me to "sit back and wait for the magic to happen ". Which it did as best as anyone could hope in navigating these type of waters and now that the dust is settling I want to extend my utmost gratitude for Mr.Bussa and his firm, had it not been for them I would have surely just been fed to the lions. In a nutshell him saving me from these wrongful accusations has allowed me to remain unscathed from the beast of the American justice system and soon be back to life,except for some mental trauma. If you might need a lawyer you probably do, and doubtful you'd find any of a better caliber.

I called Tom's office with a weather related slip and fall case two days before Thanksgiving. The office assistant put me through to speak directly with Tom on that same phone call. After talking through my situation, Tom said he would do some initial research and review with his team. (at no cost to me) Although Tom did not take my case I just wanted to relate that Tom and his office were very honest and straight-forward. The were realistic about what to expect, very responsive (I was always able to speak with someone who could help me), and I felt Tom was very genuine in his concern and interest. I had never called a contingency lawyer before so did not know what to expect. Tom quickly put my fears of "being sold" something to rest. I would highly recommend Tom and his office for an initial consultation. They are professional and caring.

His 30+ years of experience and foot print in the legal community aided in the positive result received in trial. Overall I am extremely thankful I chose to work with William Erhart. His firm exceeded all expectations I had and allowed me to put my troubles behind me. After my case was resolved I referred several individuals to Erhart and Associates and they all had a great experience and outcome. i can't thank Mr. Erhart enough for the services he provided!

In 2012, my husband and I were in a bad car accident that landed us in a level-1 trauma center in Minneapolis. Only a few hours after arriving I received a call from my nephew, a prominent lawyer in Philadelphia (PA), who instructed me not to speak with any lawyers until he found me "the best" in the Cities -- and he was true to his word. John Dornik came highly recommended and has certainly lived up to his reputation. Not only did John prove himself to be a deft negotiator with a masterful grasp of injury law, he is a warm and compassionate human being who never thought twice about making himself available to help us navigate the endless medical and disability forms, or to simply offer a word of encouragement or advice. It is no understatement to say that I'm not sure what we would have done without him! And when it came to negotiating the settlement, he made sure we understood the process and that he had a clear idea of our goals. With the insurance company, he was firm and reasoned. In short, John Dornik truly is the best!!!

He had a lot of knowledge in the process, and what I should or should not do with my current employer. He explained things in ways I could understand, and I always felt like I was in charge of my case. I would definitely use him again if I needed to in the future.

I took the advice of a friend to meet with Denise Fullerton at Fullerton Law. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the process, what to expect from the insurance companies, and how she could support me in receiving the care that I needed for some of the lasting effects from a car accident. And she was there every step of the way. Denise was prompt at answering our questions. When the insurance companies challenged some treatment and medical device expenses, Denice was an incredible advocate and fierce defender on my behalf. It is clear that without her expertise I would have been stuck with an impossible heap of medical bills. Thanks to Denise we avoided that crisis entirely. I will always be grateful for her tireless effort, and most certainly will recommend her to anyone needing an excellent lawyer.

The phone call all parents dread, your son is in the hospital from a car accident. A good friend recommended Mark to us and he was great. He handled all the ins. nightmare and when they didn't respond in a timely manor he filed paperwork against them and he was tough. He got my son a great settlement and we were able to hold it until he was 25 yrs old. so he didn't blow in his young age. I would and have recommended Mark to other friends. We always felt like he had our son's best interest in mind. and was always available to answer any questions we had. He is a great attorney. Still feel like I could call him for legal advise today 12 yrs after our case.

Mark hung in there until the end for us during our trial. He was fighting a large insurance company that didn't want to pay our claim to us. He had plenty of research on my husband's neck condition and previous Nerva Ablation treatments. The treatments were kind of new at the time, but are now commonly used. We always felt we were supported by Mark. We never felt unable to ask any question. Mark has a calm demeanor, but wasn't afraid to ask hard questions of the insurance company when they were on the stand. He never backed down. We felt completely supported throughout the whole trial. We would highly recommend him!

Even prior to be retained, Gus thoroughly informed us of the legal issues involved and clearly explained the potential risks and rewards of alternative approaches to her claim. Gus' exceptional communicative skills eased the process tremendously. He is communicates in a proactive and timely manner as well as is prompt to respond to phone calls or emails and is readily accessible to meet in person when necessary.

A colleague recommended Meshbesher & Spence to us and we were glad he did. Gus Nicklow represented us with our automobile accident claim. We had never dealt with lawyers before, and we were somewhat nervous about starting the process, but Nick quickly put us at ease. He calmly and clearly explained the process, and answered all our questions. Claims can take months to be resolved, but Nick and his assistant, Janna, kept us updated and continued to advise us as the case progressed. Gus was able to settle the claim to our satisfaction, and we were able to move on from a bad auto crash experience because of this. I would highly recommend Gus Nicklow to any of our family members or friends.

Jerry brings experience not only as a great attorney and legal consultant, but also as a great human being. His integrity and respect are evident by simply walking with him through the Courthouse; many know him by name, and offer a smile and friendly 'hello Jerry' as they pass by. Jerry brings IQ to the table as well as EQ, and takes extra time to truly listen to his clients. He works through re-enactments, recreating situations and emotions that can help both him and his clients understand actions taken by individuals. He delivers a big city product in a small town package. I wouldn't want to work with anyone else for any legal consultation. Jerry is the best - period.

He's one of the greatest. Mr. Perry has an amount of knowledge that can only be gained through decades of experience. we are talking about a guy that likes to win, and hes damn good at it too. He met with me multiple times a week, made sure that nothing was left out. He didn't just talk about the case he got a feel for it, connecting with e personally before anything else. He has this sense about him, so precise down to the littlest details. Multiple times he took his personal car during time i know he would of rather been home with his family and we went to the spots where various things had happened and it was thanks to his hard work and dedication we were able to win (by a landslide). Being represented by Mr. Perry gave me a sense of relief. i walked away from this experience not only with a clean record but life lessons and insight into the real world as well. Thank you Mr. Perry

In July of 2013 my world was shattered when I learned that my husband was not only cheating on me, but had moved our family to his home state of Minnesota to alienate me from my family and friends and divorce me. With my family and friends 1400 miles away, I turned to the internet and found Richard Caldecott. Richard was kind and empathetic. He also pointed out he had been practicing family law for more than 33 years. I told Rick that all I wanted was to go home to New Hampshire. We had barely lived in Minnesota a year. Rick told me interstate custody was tough, costly and there was no guarantee. He never promised me a win. He was highly efficient in keeping MY costs down. His letters to opposing council were clear and to the point: Our intention was to return to our home in New Hampshire. My ex threatened to fight me for full custody and told me I was going to get a war. Well, Rick was instrumental at letting them know, that I was not raising my children in Minnesota for the next 14 years unless a judge told me I had to. Not long after Mediation, where 2 experienced lawyers agreed, after hearing the facts of the case, that a judge would allow me to return to my home state. Soon after, my ex realized he would not win against Richard Caldecott. As devastating and traumatized as I was through this whirlwind process, Rick and his staff, treated me with kindness, compassion and constantly reassured me that I would be OK. A mere 5 months after I walked into his office sobbing and heartbroken, I left Minnesota to return home to New Hampshire with my children. I was awarded sole physical custody, child support, and we were HOME for Christmas.

My case started off with a nuclear bomb being dropped on me so to say. My case was a very litigious court case for custody with all kinds of false allegations and OFPs continuously placed against me from my ex-wife. Richard Caldecott methodically tore the case down one piece at a time. I started with no custody rights due to my rights being stripped from me at the beginning. I even had to see my children in a closed environment with professionals standing over me. This was the most humiliating experience I have ever had to withstand since I have was always been in the public eye. The professionals in this environment had already prequalified me as guilty of allegations not even in the realm of reality; so you can only imagine their treatment towards me. With all of the above said at the end; I was awarded full “SOLE LEGAL” custody; even being in Anoka County where the county custody intake women told me “men do not have custody”! Richard is a shining star amongst a bunch of big shot money sucking attorneys I had hired prior. His billing practice is more than fair and he is there for you when you need him the most. His ability to craft letters to explain what is really going on is beyond stellar. I would like to thank my luck stars that I found Richard Caldecott and the friend that referred me. This short letter comes from a parent that now has an amazing relationship with his two children that will last a lifetime. This all because of Richard Caldecott and his talented abilities as a competent attorney. Thank you Richard, the underdog parent

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.
