My dad and I hired Mr. Holberg to handle my mom's estate after another attorney walked away from the bar and many cases. It was a mess and something that should have been handled over a year ago. He listened, provided a clear strategy to fix the errors from the previous attorney, and was responsive. I never thought I'd be so thankful to have a responsive attorney, but it's SUPER important. I'd hire Mr. Holberg again and highly recommend his services to others.

After reaching out to more than 4 attorneys to help with a complicated , 100 year old land deed which needed a cleared title, I was wholly discouraged. Each professional from whom I sought help barely listened to the facts of my story as they quickly surmised that the work required to clear this title would outweigh what they could charge to do it.
But then I found Mike! Mike returned my phone call with only a few moments before the close of the business day, on the eve of his birthday. Due to my previous experiences and the late hour, I expected to hear yet another rushed excuse for not taking up my case. But to my delight, Mike listened to the details of my heirloom property.
He asked questions, paused often in thought. He was actually contemplating solutions! In this initial conversation, he went straight to work at his computer all the whole asking deeper questions and contemplating possible roadblocks. He pulled up some details about the plot. He checked the assessors database and looked for local title companies who might provide us with other details needed before any real legal work could begin. And all of this effort within a few moments of chatting with me!
What a kind and sympathetic gentleman. Here was a man who was truly passionate about his profession. He seems to truly enjoy the work of untying legal knots simply for the challenge of it, the satisfaction of solving a puzzle just because it was intriguing. Where the other lawyers spoke first about payment and money, Mike spoke first about the specific legal processes required, and considerations that might make things tricky, like any good craftsman does when assessing a project.
I was delighted to find this rare gem who defies all the lawyer stereotypes of being cold and greedy. I am looking forward to his help resolving my legal matter.
If you are tired of fruitless legal consults, I would encourage you to reach out to Mike. Though he may not be able to solve your specific legal issue, I can promise that he will take the time to educate and empower you so you can better pursue resolution.

Attorney Holberg is truly a praiseworthy lawyer. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, confident, and passionate about his client’s cases. He is honest and direct about the bounds of his area of practice and expertise and willing to refer you to a specialized attorney to assist if needed. This team approach shows integrity and a commitment to the overall success of your case and your individualized needs. I especially appreciated him effectively explaining my options and key strategies for my case. He worked hard to gather information and research to enhance the options and strategies he proposed. Beyond being a highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable lawyer, Attorney Holberg exhibits rare vesting in his clients that puts you at ease about knowing that your case will be handled fully, professionally, and right the first time.
I highly recommend Attorney Holberg and his law firm to my family and closest friends. In my experience, he was able to provide a level of service far greater than standard law firms. Attorney Holberg and his staff always responded to me in a professional and timely manner. He was thorough, strategic, empathetic, and personable. Attorney Holberg took the time to hear all of my concerns and clearly and concisely outlined all the different courses of action, including the positives and negatives of each choice. I felt empowered and encouraged. He resolved my problem quickly. I could not have asked for better representation. Working with Attorney Holberg was incredibly easy and the least stressful part of a very difficult situation. Without hesitation, I give Attorney Holberg my highest recommendation.

If you need a personal injury lawyer, Ian is definitely the way to go!

I hope to not be in another accident, but if I ever am in the future, I would definitely call Ian again.

Ian was so attentive to my case!! I thought my car accident was going to out me in a major financial hole. Ian negotiated with the insurance company and got me a lot more settlement money than I expected. If it were not for him, my situation would’ve been much worse. Thanks to Ian, I can buy a new car and have left over money to do something fun!! Also he was able to wrap this up within 2 months. Great representation and a quick resolution!!

I had a situation with Southern Eye Group in Bay Minette, Alabama where they gave me the wrong prescription and I spent close to $400 getting new lenses, getting a new exam (to determine my real prescription) and the trouble of getting more glasses yet again. I called and called and they flat-out told me they were not reimbursing me and stopped taking my calls. Clearly, a lawyer is too expensive to use for just being owed $400, but Mr. Mitchell worked w/ me anyway.
Before I get into his goodness, I’d like to say that I am melo-dramatic over my principles. I was fully committed to spending money I didn’t have for a lawyer over this nonsense after the way this business treated me. Many lawyers were not available when the paralegals heard my story (due to the lower-tiered financial outcome for the lawyer in question is my guess.) Many are so good (I guess) that they were always in meetings. Mr. Mitchell was available the first time I called and talked directly to me. I promised him no money up front or anything. He genuinely wanted to hear my story and just started advising me right then and there.
He walked me through the entire small claims court process, told me what to do when they defaulted and told me to keep quiet for the next 42 days after I filed the default while the courts work on it so their team of lawyers can’t do anything about it once that grace period passed. Not only has he continued to show me the best routes to take in my specific situation, but he even had me continue to call him to let him know how things were going. I’ve been chomping at the bit to get these reviews out about this man. (I specifically asked him for this website so I could leave the review where HE wanted it.) I wanted to wait until everything was finalized so I could give a full account of all the kindness and advice this sweet man has shown me. I even brought him and his team donuts! He’s so freakin’ nice! I go OUT MY WAY to let folks know about him because his kindness is never-ending. He reminds me of the kindness Alabama USED to show to strangers. Salt-of-the-earth at its best.

Unfortunately, I had the need to obtain legal representation in Mobile County District Court. Not being from AL, I was looking to hire an experienced lawyer to help navigate an unfamiliar court system. Fortunately, I was able to retain the legal services of the Tim Fleming Law Firm. Tim Fleming was professional from the outset and his extensive experience in Mobile County courts proved to be a tremendous asset to achieve a successful resolution to the matter. Mr. Fleming provided quality professional legal representation in the matter and delivered everything he said he would. Arguably, the best compliment a lawyer could receive is that I would definitely utilize his legal representation again should the need arise in the Mobile County court system. Tim Fleming provides quality representation at a reasonable price point.

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Steve Moore for several years and have seen him give back to the community through charitable contributions along with planning and organizing fund raising events for the less fortunate. The Lawyers and the staff at the Moore Law Firm are the kind of people who are a proponent for the people who need a strong voice to be heard in the time of turmoil. The insurance companies can afford large powerful law firms to protect their profits and you will need someone on your side who is not intimated to go after them to assure that you are protected after being injured in an accident. Then having to deal with insurance adjusters that do not understand the seriousness of your medical issues. The Moore Law Firm is there for you.
When selecting a law firm to help you with your case you should ask yourself is this someone who you feel comfortable handling my sensitive personal information or is this someone who is going rush to an early settlement so they can make a new television commercial? Mass communication is not equivalent to superior representation. Always communicate with your lawyer and make sure that they are in this for you and not for their egotistical, self-absorbed life style, which will cost you in the long run. Ask your lawyer, who is going to represent you: Do you live in Alabama? What things do you or your law firm do to make our area better? What is the settlement split between what you are awarded and what you get?

Its only when you really need an Attorney that you consider who is out there. I called many most were just talk. Attorney Waite and Miss Kim Grimes walked me through the process and I couldn’t be happier. The insurance companies are going to do their best to play games but once they knew who my Attorney was all games stopped. I CANT THANK THEM ENOUGH. I CALL PRACTICALLY EVERY ONE YOU SEE ON A COMMERCIAL. THIS WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT GAVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT AND THATS WHAT YOU WANT.

I was in a very bad accident on the job, no fault of my own. I suffered neck injuries, hip, knee and a severe concussion. I couldn't remember my name or where I was at times let alone try to fight for my rights. I didn't know where to turn, I felt so alone and lost. I felt like that was the last chapter of my life just broken and beat up with no job, until I found Renee! I called her and explained everything, we scheduled a free consulation. We talked and she was so kind and I don't mean the "do what you have to get the client" kind. I mean this was genuine concern, I wasn't just a number, she treated me like a human being that needed to be shown some human compassion. She was like a guiding light in the middle of complete darkness! It took a long time because of the severity of my complications, but Renee was steadfast, staying very consistent with communicating everything and any changes that occurred. Her knowledge about worker's compensation laws are impeccable, she advised me strictly according to the laws. She answered all my questions, she always made sure I understood whatever we discussed. She never gave up on me or the case, she stood her ground and stood up for me. If you decide to hire Renee for any of your legal issues, you will have made; in my opinion one of the best decisions in a lifetime. She never stops working for you, she stands strong and confident in what she knows from the years of experience and from what she learned from one most outstanding attorneys of a lifetime, her father. She will fight for you when you don't have the strength to fight for yourself. I plan to have Renee to handle my will and trust,etc. Thank you Renee for not giving up and fighting for me and getting me a very nice settlement to help me get back on track. I couldn't have done this without you.

I injured my shoulder and neck on the job over 3 years ago and naturally the Workmen comp adjuster was doing there absolute best to drop my claim. But when i spoke with Renee she decided to talk my chased and represent me. She stood in my corner and fought for me to get treated and well taken care of in our settlement. She and all the ladies in the office are the greatest thing since sliced bread! I'm going to missing them all!
DO not look any further for representation!!!

My husband was referred to Renee a few years ago by a co-worker that had hired her. It took a couple of years to get his Claim settled, but Renee got him what he deserved and was always quick to return phone calls and answer any questions we had. she is still available for questions even after the case was settled. If we have another reason come up to use her, we definitely will!!!

I was referred by another happy client that Ms. Cooper had helped. It was easy to get an appointment and she explained the whole bankruptcy process well. When we went to court to file (back in 2010) she was the most organized lawyer there. The other ones were fumbling with all kinds of folders and she had everything in order for her clients on her ipad. Well into our bankruptcy, the car that I had involved in the bankruptcy was totaled in a storm and she immediately filed the motion where we could substitute another title so I would not be without a vehicle. At the end, when the trustee was still subtracting payments from our checking account she went to court and got an immediate refund of all over payments. (We received the refund the same day she went to court). We were well represented throughout the whole process and she was always compassionate and sympathetic. Any time we called with questions we always got a call back.

Lucy Tufts represented me in an extremely complex case involving mortgage fraud on the part of my previous attorney, who converted the payoff money from the new lender to his own personal account and failed to pay the previous lender the funds due. The net result left me holding two mortgages on the same property, with threats of foreclosure and numerous acts of intimidation from the bank holding both mortgages.
Ms. Tufts successfully negotiated a stay of action on the part of the bank while seeking recourse through the courts in a vain attempt to collect the monies due.Further research on the part of Ms. Tufts revealed that the bank offering me a new loan had failed in several respects to follow standard banking procedures and its own policies in the signing of certain documents at closing and thus had inadvertently contributed to the ensuing fraud and theft of funds that took place.
Ms. Tufts demonstrated considerable skill and legal knowledge in dealing with facts as they occurred. As a legal strategist she is brilliant. As an adversary to opposing attorneys, particularly in depositions, she was courageous and did not retreat from heated dialogue from opposing counsel. At the end of the day, the original lender paid off the previous mortgage and offered me another mortgage for the same term and interest rate as before. In addition, Ms. Tufts negotiated a significant amount from the bank for damages, and obtained a $2,000,000 non-dischargeable in bankruptcy judgement against the attorney who defrauded me.
Ms. Tufts was at all times patient in explaining complex legal issues and strategies, was consistently available to me and prompt in returning all telephone calls, and often worked on my case over weekends and holidays. i can only describe Ms. Tufts services in superlatives and recommend her legal services without heitation.

I was in an automobile accident. Following the accident I was seriously injured and had mobility issues. The other driver's insurance company was condescending and borderline hostile towards me. I retained Karlos Finley of Moore and Wolfe to help straiten things out. From day one it was obvious that Mr Finley genuinely cared about my well being. He would call simply to see how I was feeling and was there anything he could help me with. Every time any work was done on my behalf I received a letter, call or both. Mr Finley was available to answer any question that I had. I was more than "just another client" I was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I hope I am never involved in another accident, but if I am, I will be represented by Karlos Finley Esq.

In 2005, my company purchased some (new) heavy equipment for a specific project. The equipment failed immediately, and the manufacturer would not warranty the repairs. This resulted in an almost insurmountable financial hardship. I met with numerous lawyers, that would not take my case. Pete Mackey and his co-counsel, not only took the case, but won at trial. The result was the highest jury verdict award, in that particular court, in nine years! Pete remains my attorney to this day, and I have no apprehension in recommending him to anyone.

Pete Mackey handled a business litigation issue for me a few years ago. He is a very smart, capable, hardworking and extremely professional attorney. He gave me good advice throughout the process and he was able to reach a satisfactory conclusion of the issue.
I have worked with many attorneys over my professional business career mostly for the development and/or negotiation of contracts but also for a few disputes along the way. Pete is the attorney that was the most involved by digging in to learn all of the details and then crafting strategies to move us forward step by step to reach a satisfactory conclusion.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney.

Knox Boteler helped my Mom after she and I were in a car accident. I wasn't hurt but Mom got banged up pretty good and had a lot of medical bills and some missed time from work. the other driver's insurance company gave us the run around on my property damage claim and would not tell us anything about Mom's injury claim. Finally, we had enough and hired Knox to help us. He got them to fix my car and he helped Mom with her injury claim. We were very happy with his work and we loved his legal assistants...they are wonderful! :)

- 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.
