Zara did amazing job working on my estate trust. She met with me 3 times and we were able to finish everything in one week. She offered answers for all my questions and explained every step and document. The standard documents did not leave anything out that is important for me in terms of my religion and culture.

Brian and his team got much better than expected results/ settlement for my wife and I.
His staff was always accessible and responded promptly to our every question and need.
Mr. Klar was personally involved from start to finish and 'always' returned phone calls directed to him promptly and professionally.
Mostly, he's an honest man who always 'took the high road' guiding us through some emotional situations...he runs a GREAT law firm!

Mr. Klar is not only a great lawyer, but a great human being. I am an international perso, and I was afraid that he would not understand me, but Mr. Klar took his time to listen and understand me. He was so nice that he even gave me his private cell phone number. His work as his attorney was phenomenal and I feel happy, and blessed to have found him. I recommend Mr. Brian Klar because he treats all of his clients with compassion and love, and he is always working until the case is successful.

I have known Mr. Patton for close to 20 years, and he takes the time to understand my issue, proposes a course of action. He is usually available via text/email on the weekends. He has addressed and put issues I thought were a big deal down to size. He and his staff worked with me for the best solution, kept me in the loop, and then executed the plan. He is a really good lawyer. As recent as two weeks ago, Mr. Patton provided a solution to a real estate issue I had, and now that issue is resolved.

Lee worked very hard to help me resolve my legal situation. He didn't mind my weekly calls or texts to ask for updates and was always courteous with me.

I'm glad to have worked with Lee.

From the very beginning, Dave was very thorough in explaining the process and answered all of my questions. I didn’t have to worry about my accident and recovery once I turned everything over to him. This allowed me to concentrate on healing. He was always just a phone call or email away if I needed anything. I highly recommend him!

I wanted to write this review to let everyone know about the quality representation I received from Todd Lucas. Todd along with his assistant Danielle helped guide me through all the pitfalls that are involved in a personal injury case. They were always available to answer any of the many questions I had and did so in terms that I could understand. They went above and beyond what I expected and showed me the utmost respect throughout my case. I would totally recommend them and would not hesitate to call if I needed a personal injury lawyer again.

God led me to Denise and Putnam. I remember how confused and sad I was when I got into their office and Denise told me everything will be okay. Denise and Putnam did not see me as a client, they saw me as a sister, a daughter and a mother. They worked my case with their heart for very little pay. The outcome of my case was a huge surprise to me and my family. Thank you great ladies for your hard work. I recommend this law firm to any body. They are not just there for money because they charge very low. They are there because they want justice for all. Thank you is not enough, may the lord protect and guide you both as you continue to fight for justice for all regardless.

Denise Carter is an amazingly professional and skilled attorney and we cannot thank her enough! She and her team helped our daughter through a DUI case quickly and efficiently, and we could not have asked for a better outcome. The case was resolved without our daughter ever having to set foot inside a court room. All questions, emails and phone calls were answered promptly and we were kept informed of the entire process and what was going on every step of the way. Denise listens to her clients, gives expert legal advice, and delivers on her promises. She is friendly and down to earth, but most importantly really knows her stuff! I cannot recommend her highly enough, and while I hope we never find ourselves needing her services again, I would not hesitate to contact Carter & Putnam in the future should the need arise!

Brett is by far the best family law attorney around! The knowledge and know-how to go about legal matters and life advice exceed my expectations, and I can't thank him and his assistant enough! Brett will only take on so many clients to ensure he isn't spread thin, which definitely shows! His attention to detail, Connections, wisdom, and he genuine care makes Brett a Super Lawyer! This isn't something to brag about, but I have had my share of working with lawyers throughout my life; Brett goes up beyond what 99% of lawyers do in this day and age by actually listening and Genuinely caring! He spent time working on the problem with me and making a custom plan that fit my kiddo and my needs. Then, he went to battle and WON without having to go to trial, and that wasn't by luck but by building my case to prove my side! He’s the real deal!

Mr. James Schumacher is very professional and very good at his job. This is the second time that he has saved me from going to jail or prison and saved my VA benefits from getting taken from me. He told me what he could do and then he went in there and did it without hesitation. He has a very commanding essence when he walks into the courtroom, and everybody takes notice, including the prosecutor and judge. He tells them what he expects to happen and in return it happens. Without Mr. Schumacher, by my side, I would definitely have not overcome the charges that were against me numerous times. If I ever need an attorney again, he will definitely be my first thought and call. Thank you, Mr. Schumacher you are the best.

Mr. Joe Flees is an extraordinary lawyer. From the beginning of listening to all the details of my case throughout the whole process, he turned my case from a very unfavorable situation with the least expected positive outcomes into a fully winning case that was fully dismissed. He believed in my innocence and utilized the evidence I had in the best possible way. I would like to thank him and his team for their extraordinary work and recommend him to those who need a lawyer to truly support them. Thank you!

Ben was the attorney for my wife and I after I suffered a brain injury at the hospital. We had a meeting with the hospital lawyers to try and settle the case, I was ready to settle at 900 thousand, but Ben said to hold on! hand in there, your case is worth much more! .... about 5 hours later we settled for 1.4 million.
I like Ben, not only does he take charge of the case, I felt like he really cared about how the outcome would feel to us and how we would move forward after the lawsuit was over.

I was hit by a car while riding a bike. The driver drove off and the police did little about it. Ben tracked him down and filed a lawsuit. The driver denied he did it but Ben caught him in lies and his insurance company had to settle for a great amount. Ben is hard working, persistent, and I really liked having him on my side.

I have been in several situations where I needed legal direction … another attorney pointed out that I wanted Phil Tatlow in my corner. That proved to be a winning selection. His ethical standards and legal ability are widely respected by his peers. Not only is Phil Tatlow is a great attorney and he is even a better man.

I have had to call upon the services of Mr. Tatlow/Bollwerk & Tatlow twice within the last few years for work related injuries. In both instances, he and his company went to work immediately on my case and took care of every aspect of the case(s) in a straightforward and professional matter. In my first case, my employers' attorney fought against a settlement, but eventually Mr. Tatlow's skills at the negotiating table won out, and I received a much higher settlement than I expected! In the second case, there was a settlement on the table within 6 months. I highly recommend Phillip Tatlow, along with his sister, Rebecca Tatlow (a recent addition to Bollwerk & Tatlow), for anyone requiring an attorney to fight for you against the large insurance companies.

I cannot recommend Fisher Law enough. The firm was recommended to me from a co-worker and I couldn't have chosen a better partner during my separation journey. Stacey was extremely helpful and knowledgeable from the beginning of my case to the end (which was handled in Johnson County, KS). I always felt like my voice was being heard while Stacey was sharing guidance from her experiences in the past. We hit several bumps in the road throughout my case (at no fault of Stacey), and she helped us handle those bumps with professionalism and class along the way. Analisa was a wonderful support figure throughout the case as Stacey's paralegal with great responsiveness and timeliness. Whether you're on the Kansas or Missouri side of the state line, Fisher Law is the best legal support you can find for family law!

I recently used the services of Attorney Larry Lavigne and I cannot say more about his professionalism. He explained clearly his services and took the time to talk with me. Anytime I had a question or concern he always responded quickly and had the answers. My case was settled exactly as he explained and for the agreed amount. I highly recommend Attorney Larry Lavigne to anyone who is seeking legal advice, and his fees are very reasonable.

I was pulled over in KCMO for 11mph over the speed limit I called a couple of attorneys and Larry, Larry was very outgoing and professional he explained to me the process of getting it reduced to a non moving violation told me his rate which was very affordable and contacted me later advising me it was done and what steps were required on my end. During this procedure I had gotten a promotion and had Larry and his office not called me I would have forgotten about the ticket fine. He was able to get an extension and at the conclusion of this I let Larry know he would be my first call from now and and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing his services. Thank you Again Larry it was a privilege to work with you

This firm is phenomenal! Paige was my lawyer. She is amazing as far as I'm concerned. She is smart, relatable, genuinely cares about her clients...plus, she's a fabulous attorney who knows her stuff!!!!
I very much appreciate all the hard work and dedication she and Sam put into my civil rights lawsuit.
Throughout my life I have had to hire attorneys for various situations. Never have I had an attorney who truly kept me informed. She did so much more than that though. She went over and above! She guided me and was just a pleasure to work with. I know where I am going if I ever need an attorney again and I will always recommend their services to anyone who asks!
If you want attorneys who will truly fight for you this is the firm for you!

I had servers probation violations and was getting know where in live besides inside jails and prisons. The judge had enough of me a order a fugitive warrant. I ended calling serval lawyers that said to turn yourself in and I couldn’t help you with the case. I thought for sure I would end up back in prison and when I get out return into my old habits. Then I called Will he said he could help me and he 100 percent did. He saved my life I fixed going back to my old ways and he got the warrant taken care of. Where I didn’t have to see a day in jail nor start my probation over. I followed his advice and it changed my life for the better. If your looking for an attorney don’t look no further, Will is the person to contact because he’s not only a attorney he’s a person who cares about what happens to his clients. Thank you Will

Mr. Goldstein is one of the best lawyers I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. It was the worse situation I could have on my record and would result in termination of my employment. I am a very honest person which made his job more difficult when we went to court. I don't know how, but he was able to save my job due to an over site he found in the case. If you need a great attorney, Will Goldstien is your guy. I couldn't thank him enough. I know what lawyer I will use if I ever need one again. Thanks Again!!!

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.
