Tara was my neighbor and when I got into a car accident, I hired her to represent me. She settled my case for the insurance policy limits within ten days from taking the case. After she got me the maximum possible amount, we received a "subrogation claim" from my own health insurance company which meant reimbursing out of my settlement for my hospital bills and medical treatment. Tara explained to me that fighting the subrogation claim would be a long shot but might be able to prevail,her exact words were, “well, it is a long shot, but let’s fight them!” She wrote a very strong letter to the health insurance provider, and in response to her letter, they waived their subrogation claim. I was so happy - Tara saved me money that would have otherwise gone out of my settlement check and I ended up getting the full policy limit! Although I was hurt and in a lot of pain after my accident, having Tara as my attorney gave me absolute peace of mind. I certainly felt like a winner in the end!
If you are looking for an aggressive attorney who is willing to fight for you and put all her time in to resolve your case quickly, you need to hire Tara. A million thanks to Tara!

Mr. Johnson helped me to save my business from a very difficult economy. He was able to "clean up" what others had started, and able to turn my case around. He was more than fair in his billing practices and I would highly recommend him.

Effective, focused, and respectful and are the three words that I would use to describe my experience with John, Andrew and the entire LBC team.
Effective, in achieving the desired results throughout the entire process, from summary judgement, through the appeal process.
Focused only on the merits of the case and the applicable law, he was never distracted from the facts by the opposing counsel’s ever-changing stories, claims and threats.
Respectful, of the emotional impact that any litigation has on a person. Whenever we needed to speak it was always purposeful, direct and reassuring, never wanting to waste time riding on the emotional rollercoaster, but always willing to listen my concerns.
I would highly recommend highly recommend John, Andrew and the entire LBC team to anyone who is in the need of effective legal services.

I've know John longer than I've been married, about 14 years. Turns out it's a lot more expensive to be married than having a great attorney!

Above everything John wins and gets things done. I highly recommend his services.

James Christensen has been a great pleasure to work with. When I first consulted with him, he was realistic with my expectations and the timeline of car accident cases get resolved. He is straight forward and maintained constant communication with me in regard to the status of my case. I am extremely happy with the outcome and the settlement amount he was able to secure. I couldn't ask for a better attorney!

Jim left no stone unturned when gathering the needed evidence to show that a financial broker did not have our brother’s best interest in mind. Our brother is medically disabled. The recommendations made by this broker were followed by our brother who trusted him implicitly. Jim and his team spent countless hours collecting documents and enlisted the aid of experts in the field to show sufficient evidence of less than honorable intent by this broker. As a result, a significant sum was recovered from the losses incurred by our brother as a result of the actions by this broker. It is because of Jim Christensen that our brother now has his medical retirement back on a reasonable footing and hopefully will keep him supported as he lives out his life in a nursing care facility. Jim Christian always advised us on the case as it progressed and was honest with us concerning any potential outcomes. We are very thankful for his tireless work and commitment to seeing justice done.

I hired James Christensen (Jim) in March of 2016 to resolve an ongoing situation I had with two other attorneys. My matter involved some ethics issues, a civil lawsuit involving a $250,000 insurance settlement and disputes over legal fees. After speaking with various law firms, I was fortunate enough to be referred to Jim.
I was impressed by Jim for multiple reasons. He was very knowledgeable about the laws pertaining to my circumstances and had a sense of the current legal trends in Vegas. He was not intimidated by my case like other attorneys I consulted.
Jim didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear instead he told me what I needed to know. He explained alternative approaches and realistic outcomes. He provided practical advice about what would be in my best interest even though this strategy meant a smaller fee for him.
Jim was diplomatically strong during negotiations yet was able to foster cooperation with the other attorneys involved. Strong interpersonal skills enabled Jim to work with extremely varied personalities and obtain a favorable outcome for me. His relationships in the legal community also helped him to resolve most issues outside of the court room.
On a personal note, Jim was patient with my frequent questions and at times, my nervousness. Jim empathized with my frustration and I could tell he was committed to helping me. My case had been lingering unresolved since 2014 and Jim got me a dismissal as quickly as he could.
I was pleased with the resolution and my portion of the settlement. I respect Jim as an attorney and a person. I am very grateful for the service he provided me. I would recommend attorney James Christensen to my family, friends, and business associates.

I got hit by a tow truck in 2014, and initially retained a different attorney. After becoming extremely frustrated with the process, I was referred to Jason Cooks office. From the very beginning Jason was helpful, patient and kind. I had a million questions, since I had never been injured in a car accident before and he took the time to answer every one of them. Jason and his wonderful staff are fair, honest and hard working. I had my doubts in the beginning after dealing with the first attorney I hired, however I was not just treated like a client by Jason Cooks office, I was treated like family. If I ever was in need of his services again, I would not hesitate to work with him again. Also I brag about his office all of the time, and would refer him to anyone I know in need of an attorney. They are the best in the business, and i want to thank them for making this process a lot easier.

I hired Jason Cook in 2009 over the phone, by recommendation from one of my doctors in Las Vegas after moving to Arizona, for a personal injury suffered in 2008. This was after two different attorneys took my case and then decided my case was too big and difficult. Jason was/is honest, straightforward, accessible by both phone and email, which eased my mind and nerves, all I had to focus on was continuing my medical care. It took us five years to reach a settlement in my case, but I knew I had Jason there to help me each step of the way. My case was not easy and we went up against a huge insurance company, not to mention my injuries were complicated. I had to have several surgeries, plus prior injuries. I was very happy to have Jason and his team on my side. His staff is also very friendly and helpful. Jason Cook will never promise anything he cannot deliver. I would hire Jason and his team in a heartbeat again should I ever need his services again. When counting friends Jason is among them. I have sent friends his way and will continue to do so.

Jan was recently referred to me by a highly profile attorney. Let's just say this person is a Good-Man.
I had a consultation with Jan during a game of Raquetball at Lifetime fitness. This is where I do a lot of business. Because golf gives you skin cancer
I have to say I was blown away at his knowledge of the law and the city being raised here.
I myself am a 30 year resident with multiple businesses and ex wives. Don't do that lol... the ex wives part
I will definitly recommend him to all my friends and family.

Was referred to Atty. William Birardi by a co-worker and I am very pleased that I hired his professional services. Atty. Birardi gave my case his personal attention from start to finish. He has a lot of empathy, is very transparent and aggressive in fighting for my case. I believe I got a lot of lawyer for the money! I should know as I have family and friends who have hired advertised attorneys and they were kept in the dark as to the second party's insurance coverage, were not shown the actual insurance check and were charged exorbitant fees each time they get a hold of their attorneys. I would definitely recommend Atty. Birardi to family and friends.

I hired McKay back in 2012 for an auto accident that totaled my car. The lady was 16 & she had no license. McKay took charge of everything and my car was reimbursed to me for cash value. He also had a settlement for all of my pain and suffering and medical bills. He also wrote a Cease & Desist letter to a company who was subrogating me. (Fraudulently)
Fast fwd: I was involved in a hit and run 2 days ago. I have the man's license plate and the LV Detectives are looking for this person. He had no insurance and no license. I'm hiring McKay for my pain and suffering and also to have my cars back bumper removed and fixed. Also, I need to reimburse the insurance for my emergency room visit for testing and constant pain after this man hit me.
I definitely recommend Mr. Whitney. He settles things quickly and very professionally. Definitely recommend him for any motor vehicle accident or personal injury matters!!!

After fighting SSA for 7 years with a different, inept attorney, I received a fully favorable decision on my case only three weeks after my hearing. The entire staff at this firm were amazing! From my first call with Brian to hearing prep and brief with Martin to my actual hearing handled by Peter (who flew in to handle it), they worked so hard on my behalf. My hearing was on a Monday morning. Knowing how anxious I was, Peter called me on Sunday to offer last minute support.
Anytime I had questions about my case, I received a call back or email answer within a few hours.
I am so incredibly grateful for all of the hard work of this incredible team of professionals.

I had an accident and I found them on line. The case was a personal injury case. I called the office and spoke to David Kohlmeier, Case Manager. He took action right away and set me up with a car service to pick me up because he was concerned about my accident. I came into the office and he even met me downstairs to help me to the office since I was using crutches. He then introduced me to Hazel, Personal Injury Case Manager. I was then introduced to Michael Becker Esq. They had my settlement in a matter of 3 months. I was very happy with my whole experience with the law firm and I was very pleased with the settlement amount. I want to thank Hazel, David and Michael Becker for an amazing experience...

Jason has a natural ability to transform difficult concepts into cogent and persuasive arguments both orally and in writing. As a litigator, he is assertive and confident; as a writer he is deliberate and conscientious; and as a person he is charming and witty.
Perhaps more than any other person I know, when Jason makes a statement, you can count on it being true. I have lost more than one argument by discovering that the facts were stubbornly in Jason's favor.

I was amazed by this attorney. I was in a very bad car accident about a year ago and have been talking with a few different lawyers trying to figure out my rights and get what was owed to me by the insurance companies to help pay for all of my bills. Of all the lawyers I talked to Mr. Melgar was by far the most knowledgeable and I felt like he cared about me and fought for me. I would recommend him to anyone!

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.
