Jonathan helped me and my family out at a time when we needed it the most. Let's be honest, rarely do folks engage attorneys and it's not something most of us have much experience in. That's where Jonathan comes in! He took the time to listen intently, truly understand our needs and concerns and then guide us to best possible resolution. We cannot thank him enough and I would recommend him to anyone in need.

First, I want to start off by saying that when a person speaks on attorneys not giving their all, not being honest, they are all out for the money, and that they really do not care about their clients.......that is absolutely the most ficticious statement I have ever heard in my life to the ultimate power when it comes to Attorney Jonathan Williams! This man fought for me and believed within me the whole entire time that he went over and beyond when dealing with my case. He was a God send to my life during my hard times. Mr. JJonathan Williams took on my case when everyone else turned their backs on me and told me they didnt want to chance because it was hard to prove, but this man here....he will fight for exactly what he knows is right and he will stand by you throughout until the very end! Please believe that he will not only be your attorney; yes, because that is his career; but he will also be that ear when you need it. I love his drive, his will, his push, his sincerity, his ability to get it done and done correctly, and his straight forward honestly. He will not sugar coat it by no means. He is hands down the best and i will come back to him if I ever need a helping hand because he always believed in me! And dont let me leave out his right hand lady Ms. Leslie honey. She stands by him and makes sure those checks marks are on every document. THANK YOU JOHNATHAN for believing in my case when no one would. I will forever be thankful for your push and drive! ML

Previously, I had Hughes & Coleman handle my case for 2 years, then 1 day, after 2 years they told me they could not handle my case any longer. From this, I was completely stressed out & depressed until I was told to find an individual attorney, and I found & talked to Larry Felts, who within a few months got me my disability. Mr. Felts is my life saver. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need, & he doesn’t get paid until I do.

I am so thankful for finding Mr. Felts. I had been denied disability twice and finally decided to appeal. Mr. Felts is very good at what he does!. He explained everything to me every step of the way. If I had any questions, he took the time to make sure he answered them completely. The entire process was made very simple by letting him handle everything and just following his instructions. Mr. Felts returned phone calls promptly, answered all my questions, and put me completely at ease. Anyone looking for an attorney should definitely talk to Mr. Felts.

I filed for SSD after being medically retired from the military in 2016. I kept getting denied finally called Mr Felts and he helped me prepare for my hearing. He was very thorough. If he asked you to do something, write something do it. My hearing didn’t last long because of everything he sent the judge ahead of time my decision was decided at the hearing and I received a fully favorable decision. I would not have been able to do this without Mr Felts as my attorney. Highly Recommend him.

I hired an ambulance chaser type attorney before I hired Mr. Craft and let me just say that it has been the wisest choice I have made yet. He has been an excellent communicator and I am pretty sure that BRP knows its only a matter of time until they buy back the POS they sold me in May of 2018.

We were dealing with a stressful incident and we reached out to Ryan and he listened carefully and told us that he could help. We have no knowledge about court procedures - Ryan and Mackenzie were very helpful and answered each question promptly. They dug into the case and were meticulous with details and put in the time to understand the facts of the case. They kept us informed and updated about the case. We were nervous going into court, but Ryan shined with his experience and expertise with court procedures and details about our case. We got to sit back and relax.

I meet Will today while sitting in the EEOC office. I watched how he came to the office for 2 clients to get the EEOC papers for them, and overheard the brief conversation. I was very impressed. It's been a long time since I've come across an attorney that takes the time and go the extra steps for their clients. I know because I am a Rule 31 listed mediator to work on Civil cases, Family cases, and specially trained for Domestic Violence cases. I immediately asked for his name and number to handle my case. He took the time to talk to me without rushing. That's what you call a real go getter, serious about his work and clients. First impressions is everything. He gave me eye to eye contact, a strong hand shake, and a good luck. Although I haven't got the chance to meet with Will as his client I can give him 5 stars right now. I will be calling him tomorrow. After the meeting, I'll 5 star the keep me informed.

It is almost never a pleasant time in one’s life when an attorney is needed, and that was the case with my situation. I was injured when a driver, who had celebrated her 16th birthday just two weeks before the accident, hit my car while I was standing behind it to retrieve something from the trunk. It was a freak accident, and it changed my life forever. The time that followed this incident was full of stress and ongoing health issues. It would have been easy to despair if I had not had the support of this attorney.

I used the law firm of Joe Dughman in my personal injury case. It is rarely a pleasant time in one's life when an attorney is needed, and that was certainly true of my situation. I was injured when a driver, who had celebrated her 16th birthday just two weeks before the accident, hit my car while I was standing behind it to retrieve something from the trunk. It was a freak accident, and it changed my life forever. The time that followed this incident was full of stress and ongoing medical problems. What should have been a simple broken leg has failed to heal, and the march to recovery has seen more pitfalls than progress. It would have been easy to despair if I had not had the support of Mr. Dughman. The first aspect to his representation was the convenience. My daughter took me to see him in person one time, but that was probably more for me than for him. After that, all of our communication was electronic, phone, or regular mail, which made it much easier for me to navigate. Secondly, this was not a case in which Mr. Dughman had hopes for a large financial recovery. To the contrary, I was distraught to learn I was grossly underinsured, and it is my understanding the young lady who hit me had minimum coverage as well. It was not my wish to sue her or her family, although I have questioned this decision many times. Mr. Dughman supported me and pressed on. As the first year passed and I was not healed, I began to learn about subrugation. This is a process by which my health insurance companies demanded refund payments on the benefits they had paid out. They were entitled to this because the accident was not "my fault," and yet they had paid out thousands of dollars. With two weeks in the hospital, two major surgeries, weeks of home health care and physical therapy, the bills were astronomical. If Mr. Dughman had not negotiated on my behalf with these mammoth insurance companies, I would have owed them money in the end. Somehow he got them to accept partial repayment, a feat I would have never been able to do for myself. The stress of owing that money and my body's unwillingness to heal took an emotional toll on me. I have never heard one word of apology from the young woman who hit me. Long after the Statute of Limitation on a possible lawsuit expired, I asked Mr. Dughman if I could write to her. He assured me it would make no difference in any "legal" sense, but he encouraged me to write her if it would make me feel better. In the end, I wrote to her parents, thinking they could decide it the letter was appropriate. Still, there has been no contact. Through all of my dealings with Attorney Dughman, I was basically an emotional wreck. He was constant, professional, and very, very skilled in his work. It is my hope to never, never need him again, but if I do, it is my sincere wish that he will represent me again.

When I think of accident or personal injury attorneys, my mental image is not a positive one. I looked for an attorney who is professional, who cares, and has integrity. That is precisely how I see Attorney Joe Dughman. After interviewing 3 different attorneys, I selected his law firm. Joe is definitely sincere and has an incredible track record in obtaining high settlements. He won my case (settled) without having to go to court. The legal process and auto accidents, in general, can be stressful, to say the least. I have recommended this attorney to others without thinking twice. I consider him one of the best in Nashville.

His goal was for me to at least break even and not have to pay anything out of my pocket regarding medical bills from my accident. However, he fought and fought and negotiated my bills to where not only was the goal met but he got me double money in my pocket with his superb negotiation skills.

A year and a half prior to finding Mr. Tayip, I had been rearended by an uninsured driver. My insurance company immediately became my enemy. The State of Alabama was entirely unconcerned with upholding laws. I had been treated poorly across the board. I found Mr. Tayip on 'Thumbtack'. He was the first attorney (I had spoken to many & was repulsed) to explain things in layman's terms without being condescending or hurried. He listened to me, waded through my details, and explained my options & what each would entail. In the time that we worked together, Mr. Tayip joined with another attorney & moved his office to another location. He never once forgot about me & kept me updated at all times. In the end, I got the maximum settlement. Prior to hiring Mr. Tayip, I was being railroaded by my greedy, awful car insurance company (AAA Insurance is awful) and I had no hope of having my medical costs covered. Mr. Tayip not only evened the playing field, he won the game for me.

I was in a motorcycle accident earlier this year. The last thing you want to worry about when you are trying to recover from inuries like that is paperwork and dealing with insurance companies. Joel was on it only a few days after the accident and within just 6 months I had a check in my hand. He is very professional, kept me informed about what was going on, and answered all of my questions. I would reccomend him to anyone!

I met with Kimberly in 2011 for a consultation on a divorce. She was very professional in appearance and manner. After I explained my situation, she assured me she would do everything in her power to meet my needs and she did. She cared about my needs and emotionally supported me. She took away my fears by stating "Let me do the worrying, that's my job." Kim guided me through the process every step of the way. The results were impressive and resolved in a timely manner. It all came out in my favor. I kept the house and all of my belongings. This result was undoubtedly all because of Kimberly Shields' professional knowledge of Tennessee divorce law and her hard work. All I can say is I would highly recommend Attorney Kimberly Shields. Thanks again Kimberly." - Lisa M.

Where to begin, I would most definitely recommend Mr John Horton to represent my friends and family. Mr Horton communicated with his colleagues and the Judge effortlessly. He listened to so many of my phone calls, when it appeared that I was worried or simply sick and tiered of this process, he would explain to me in detail why certain things would need to happen or steps we needed to take for the results we wanted, he's brilliant!!!!!! I also appreciate his ability to organize every detail, he always responded to my emails or phone calls promptly. If you are looking for an attorney who truly has your best interest in mind and is willing to listen to your needs and concerns in an already emotional and stressful time, John Horton is who you want to represent you. Thank you again Mr John Horton for your professionalism, integrity, and knowledge, I don't know what I would have done without you. Shonda

Been working for TDOT for 13 years. I’m a truck driver. It’s all I know. I’m a hard worker, I don’t go around just making work comp claims and trying to get something for nothing. I was at work when a gust of wind came in blew me sideways. A huge piece of equipment fell. I fell back and hit the rock and asphalt ground and was knocked unconscious. Nobody at my work called for EMS, I laid there for 15-20 minutes before anybody did anything. When I finally came to I had blood all over my face and was in so much pain and would you believe they put me in a state truck and drove me to a clinic instead of calling 911 to take me to the hospital! I crushed my ear drum and now have permanent nerve damage and hearing loss in my ear from hitting the ground so hard. My injuries triggered migraines. They get really bad, it broke all the bones in my face on my right side. I have permanent damage, and now have problems seeing out of my right eye. I was doing everything I could to try to heal up and get better as fast as possible but I was afraid that they were going to fire me or send me into early retirement because of my injuries. That’s when my wife and I called Rocky. From day one, dealing with work comp has been a nightmare. They fought us on every treatment and everything that I needed to function. Rocky was Afsoon were great knowledgeable and always kept me informed. The folks at Rocky Law Firm always knew me and all about my case. I didn’t feel like a number. Carmen is a bad to the bone. She and Afsoon fought those adjusters tooth and nail and are still fighting. I didn’t want to make a million dollars out of this, I just wanted to have my medical expenses taken care of. Rocky and his firm got me more than I expected and even though my case is done, they’re still helping me because I’m still having problems with work comp paying for the things they are supposed to pay. I recommend them to anybody who needs them for workcomp, car accidents, whatever. I’ve got no complaints.

I was injured working for a retail company. After many unsuccessful attempts to work with their insurance company, it was recommended to me by the Tennessee Board of Workers' Compensation to hire an attorney. Not knowing who to contact, I remember seeing many ads for Rocky Law Firm on television. I looked up online reviews for this firm and saw that they had an excellent reputation so I gave them a call. I called the office, they talked to me a little bit and told me I should come in and discuss my case with them. After meeting with an attorney, they said they'd be more than happy to take my case. After speaking with Carmen, the paralegal, she assured me that RML was going to take good care of me...and boy did they. After two and a half years working with Afsoon and her assistant, Carmen, I learned a lot of things about injuries, insurance companies and workers compensation. If it were not for Afsoon and Carmen, I would have not gotten the medical treatment I needed or the support they gave me during the process. Its amazing to me how insurance companies take advantage of the system so if you do not have the right attorney, you can get frustrated quickly and just give up. I never once thought of giving up because of the constant communication that I received from my attorney's admin, Carmen. She got to know me and explained everything that I needed to know. She fought for me through the whole process. And when I was frustrated and didn't understand, she always had the right answers. My attorney and Carmen made me feel like one of the family and that they really cared and were concerned that I got the best recovery possible for my injuries.

I was in a car accident that was not my fault. The insurance company gave me the run around from the very beginning. They did not want to make the necessary repairs and wanted to use aftermarket parts on my brand new car. They also would not return my phone calls or deal with my injuries. The moment I met with attorney Georges, I knew I was in good hands. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. He jumped to work, and within a matter of days, the insurance company agreed to all of the repairs with new parts. Attorney Georges supported me and encouraged me through the entire process, and stood firm that we we’re going to get a fair settlement. I was well informed and he always took he time to make sure I completely understood the process. Even though the insurance company tried to fight us all the way, attorney Georges went above and beyond and fought for a settlement that exceeded my expectations. He is not just a good lawyer, he is a good person. I am very thankful I chose him to represent me.

Attorney Georges handled my personal injury case to my complete satisfaction and peace of mind. My accident left me injured and scared and emotionally drained. Even being a person of action, I felt like I didn't know what to do and was afraid to trust my own judgement. He gave me the guidance and advice I desperately needed to move in the proper direction. He made sure my property damage was solved and I was able to purchase another vehicle. I received the treatment I needed to heal. He encouraged me to continue to get better when I was depressed that I might not feel better. My case was resolved above and beyond my expectations and I was able to put the horrible accident behind me and move forward with my life and work. I'm thankful for his help and representation.

I hired Ms. Jackie Dixon in a partition lawsuit and she did an excellent job representing me. Partition lawsuits are becoming more and more common across the U.S. in large part because Millennials and Gen Zers (aka "Zoomers") are simply not getting married but buying homes with their significant others (or buying property together before they get married). This was the case for me, and Ms. Dixon knew what she was doing. Ms. Dixon was calm, detail-oriented, responsive, and extremely organized. Most importantly, she was compassionate. Ms. Dixon is knowledgable about various areas of family law, and knows her way across the courts in Davidson County.

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.
