I have used Kari Peterson twice now for work-comp related issues. She is thorough, compassionate, and reliable as well as taking a personal interest in your case and personal situation. When you have questions or concerns she is dependable on getting back to you ASAP. Kari even took the time out of her family vacation to reply back to me! Kari ensures that you are treated correctly and fairly throughout your litigation. I have heard many horror stories from others regarding their work-comp cases in my profession. I can tell you that YOU WANT and YOU NEED Kari Peterson representing you, period!

He definitely has knowledge in the court room. He cares about your case, never rude, very consistent. If you need a good lawyer, consult with him. You won’t regret it. He is truly amazing & professional. Don’t go in there thinking your looks are going to help you because he is professional. I’ve seen attorney’s that would stare at your chest during consultation but not him and that makes a huge difference. Call Brandon for any of your legal matters if he can’t take your case he will point you in the right direction.

I became aware of Mr Rahm while being involved in a discrimination suit a coworker had filed. Mr Rahm was very thorough, personally interested and helpful. When I felt I was being discriminated against in my job, with a different company, Mr Rahm was the only light at the end of a dark tunnel I was spiraling into. I would have felt even more hopeless without knowing he was available. Mr Rahm was very honest in his assessment of my situation, the possible outcomes, and the direction(s) we could attempt. The final outcome was well within the parameters he laid out at the very beginning. I am completely satisfied with the outcome. I feel that Mr Rahm did not recoup all of the costs associated with this suit but that also was an up-front possibility he pointed out. Mr Rahm is an honorable man and his office has behave in an ethical manner.

You want your Lawyer to care as much about your case as you do. Kirk Rahm is the rare lawyer that does exactly that. Kirk will give you a forthright assessment of your case in your first meeting. If you agree to pursue litigation I can tell you there will be no half measures taken on your behalf. Communications with you and your opposition will be extensive and documented. Legal research will be thorough. Witnesses will be treated with respect and every effort will be made to obtain a good outcome on your behalf. Should your case proceed to trial, you are in good hands. Kirk's trial experience will be invaluable to you from the beginning of your case to the end. Kirk helped me with a complicated wrongful termination case that involved thousands of documents, numerous briefs, and trial preparation that included 24 depositions, including some uncooperative witnesses in which we obtained a very good outcome. Trustworthy, competent, dogged, respected and effective are just a few ways I would describe Kirk.

I hired Michael after being involved in a car accident where I suffered injuries. I actually was referred to him by another attorney who I have done work with. Mike was diligent in gathering the necessary and relative information from me so that he could pursue my case in a timely manner on my behalf - with little interruption to my daily life. I am a licensed attorney outside of Missouri, but do not practice in this area of law, so I was aware of the importance of hiring someone locally to assist me with my case. I also knew that this would be time consuming and complicated, so hiring competent counsel would be imperative. Mike kept me updated about my case when necessary, and I didn't have to take time out of my life to negotiate with insurance companies and other attorneys. Mike was able to resolve my case favorably, and I would recommend him to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation.

Caleb Petersen is hands down one of the best you will find in St. Louis. I hired Caleb to handle a complex family law matter and could not have been more satisfied with the level of professional work that he delivered. As things progressed in my case, Caleb was always on top of the relevant information regarding my case. He was extremely knowledgeable and was always very upfront and realistic when we discussed the aspects of my case. The biggest selling point for me was that he was always quick to respond to my questions which was a very big issue that I had with my previous attorney in my initial divorce. I have and will continue to recommend Caleb to those needing an attorney.

Ultimately, and after considerable study of my situation, they arrived at finding the best solution for me. They also did so at a very reasonable financial cost. Michele and Catherine are smart, competent, very professional, thorough, motivated attorneys, and they examine and study legal situations from many different perspectives in order to come up with the best possible solution for a client. That is exactly what they did for me. I highly recommend the Schwent Law Firm, and will not hesitate to engage them again in the future should the need arise.

She always made me feel like my small case was just as important as any of the big cases. Sophie is also very down to earth and easy to relate and talk to, things that I feel are a huge asset to developing a great attorney/client relationship. Sophie walked me through each step of the process so I was never caught off guard. And she fought hard, really hard, to get me the best settlement she could.

I have no words to express my gratitude to Mr. Thomas Hyatt. He assisted me in a legal matter few years ago. He is exceptional and provided me with the best legal advise I could find in that difficult moment. I will recommend Mr. Hyatt to anyone who is looking for a personal treatment and expedite process. I still have tremendous respect for him and the legal advise and outcome I received from him

My husband passed away due to several medical errors at a hospital. Roger Johnson represented myself and my children. Roger negotiated a settlement so that I have financial security. Roger is very professional and very detail oriented and found out information we would have never know that helped our case and helped me with some closure. Most importantly Roger will fight for you and your family like it was his own. He understands the difficulties and sadness during these times and was not only very kind to me but treated my deceased husband with kindness and respect when talking about him. You will never find another attorney who works as hard and cares as much as Roger Johnson.

My son was given an injection , by a nurse , without doctors orders. Within 2 minutes my son went in to cardiac arrest. He never regained consciousness and passed away 36 days later. Mr. Roger Johnson took our case and found out for our family , exactly what hapened to our son. The case was settled before trial , due to what Mr. Johnson uncovered. Knowing what happened is very important to our family. We are indebted to Roger and his excellent team of workers.

Mr. Scroggie was a huge help to our college freshman who has never had even so much as a speeding ticket and was inappropriately accused of criminal charges. Mr. Scroggie helped explain to our college kiddo why we were in-fact not going to accept anything other than a complete dismissal of the charges as there were no laws broken, the authorities never talked to our college student the night in question, and our kiddo had done nothing wrong. The case was dismissed! He is a champion of college kids who can so easily be scared/swayed/coerced! I highly recommend him and thank him from the bottom of our heart!

My assessment of the Lacey Law Firm is based on years of experience doing business with lawyers and law firms in my position as Managing Partner of CHARTOR Entertainment LLC (www.CHARTORentertainment.com ). My co-Managing Partner, Charles Floyd Johnson, is an attorney as well. 2017 I was introduced to Ron and Mark Lacey by Attorney Nikki Mitchell, Senior Partner in the Law Firm of Mitchell, Brown & Associates, LLC. I retained Nikki Mitchell to handle matters concerning my Aunt and Uncle’s estate. I was the Executor of my Aunt and Uncle’s estate, they lived in St. Louis, MO. Both my Aunt and Uncle had fallen ill and their only daughter (my cousin), with whom they had a difficult relationship, had taken legal action to seize their estate. Mitchell, Brown & Associates specializes in estate and probate law but I also needed to retain a law firm that specialized in civil litigation. The legal challenge from my Aunt and Uncle’s daughter took four years to resolve through Probate Court and civil litigation. My Aunt had Alzheimer’s and my Uncle served as her caretaker and caregiver until he fell ill. My Aunt and Uncle’s daughter testified under oath that my Aunt, her Mother, had designated her as Executor of her Mother and Father’s estate, despite the testimony of my Uncle who made it absolutely clear to the judge presiding over the case, that both him and my Aunt—prior to her Alzheimer’s diagnosis—had designated me as the Executor of their estate as stated in their Last Will & Testament and their estate plan. Ron and Mark Lacey were professional, tenacious, thorough, meticulous and represented the highest standards of legal expertise in civil litigation. They treated my Aunt and Uncle with the utmost respect, kindness and consideration. For four years, from 2017 until 2021, I traveled constantly from Los Angeles, where I live, to St. Louis for court hearings, depositions, meetings with Ron and Mark Lacey and with Nikki Mitchell, and to spend time with my Aunt and Uncle. Ron and Mark Lacey maintained constant contact with me and visited my Aunt and Uncle to update them on the status of their case. My Uncle died June 2018 and my Aunt died March 2020, but before my Uncle passed away he spoke of his respect and admiration for Ron and Mark Lacey. They successfully prosecuted the civil case against my Aunt and Uncle’s daughter. Ron and Mark Lacey flawlessly executed their due diligence by uncovering fraud, financial malfeasance and elder abuse on the part of my Aunt and Uncle’s daughter. I have written this review for one very important reason: It was long overdue for me to express the depth of my gratitude and appreciation to Ron and Mark Lacey and the staff of the Lacey Law Firm for demonstrating a level of professionalism that represents the very best of the legal profession. In closing, I reiterate a statement at the start of my narrative: My assessment of the Lacey Law Firm is based on YEARS of experience doing business with lawyers and law firms in my position as Managing Partner of CHARTOR Entertainment LLC. I’ve retained and I’ve engaged in business transactions with some of the best and worst lawyers working in the legal profession, therefore, I am more than qualified to speak to the quality, professionalism and legal expertise of Ron and Mark Lacey. If you are considering retaining a firm in the state of Missouri specializing in civil litigation, the Lacey Law Firm is the VERY BEST firm in the state of Missouri to advise and to help you to reach the best outcome for your specific needs. I speak from experience, Ron and Mark Lacey are two of the very best attorneys/civil litigators I’ve retained in all my years in business. Sincerely, Victor Leo Walker, II, Ph.D Managing Partner, CHARTOR Entertainment LLC

I was hit by a uninsured drunk driver and had injuries. I tried to handle it myself with the insurance company and wasn't even going to get enough to cover all the costs associated with the accident. Thankfully I decided to get some assistance from a lawyer. That Is when I met with Jarod and he handled everything and made sure that I got what I was owed. He was fair and worked hard for me.

I was hit from behind in an auto accident and had serious medical and auto repair bills. The other driver admitted fault to the police, yet his company nor its insurance company would pay the bills. I hired Amanda, and she got the case settled and taken care of in a timely fashion after they kept delaying and denying. If you ever need help in a situation like this, call Amanda immediately.

I contacted Mr. Adler in March 2021 about a car accident I was in the year before. I was frustrated from trying to set myself with my insurance company who deduced my injuries to my age (I am 42). Immediately he asked if he could contact me which stood out from nearly every other lawyer i contacted that week who was calling me like a bill collector. As soon as I spoke to Mr. Adler he was kind and honest. I met with him a couple of days later, where we started the process and literally by June he got me my policy amount of $100,000! Thank you Mr. Adler.

Jim Adler is very professional, polite, and quick to respond. After my car accident I had no idea where to start. Jim answered all of my questions thoroughly, handled my case with care and made it feel as if my case was his top priority. It made the process a little easier knowing he was representing me. His secretary is polite and the office space is very warm, welcoming, and professional. I would highly recommend Adler and Manson if you ever find yourself in need of an attorney.

He was real with us from the start. Other lawyers told us they didn't know how to handle our case. Or that I didn't have enough evidence to go forward. But he knew there was a shot at it and when we dug further we knew that the risk was worth the shot and we could win big time. This lawyer knows his stuff. And he's humane meaning if he helps you, it's because he knows he can. If he can't he will let you know from the start and not just take your money. Every case is different. My case was a little complicated at the beginning and no lawyer wanted to help me except him. Even the 777-7777 lawyers turned me down. Famous ones on tv. But this lawyer tried to dig in and see if there was a chance instead of asking a couple questions and immediately declining. Everything you could want and more in an accident personal injury lawyer, he has.

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.
