Mr. Gustafson, returned my phone call within a couple of hours. He was interested in understanding my request and genuinely interested in assisting me. He asked questions and gave me some direction on how to proceed. He called me the following day and told me that he would review the document and call me back. Mr. Gustafson is personable, appears to be highly knowledgeable and was sincerely engaged in our conversation. Thank you for assisting me in contacting him. I believe I will get a few answers and know how to proceed. I felt a little more peace after speaking with him.

I was in a motor vehicle accident while on vacation in Las Vegas. After being rear ended and suffering a concussion I started to experience lots of medical issues. I hired an attorney in Las Vegas to help me but he had no experience in Mild traumatic brain injury . Big Mistake! He had no clue, he thought all I had was a headache and it would go away. I started to look for a new attorney as I came across Tim Titolo's site. I called him and after talking to him it was clear he understood brain injuries! He was so knowledgeable and compassionate. Tim was able to get me a fair settlement in just a few months of taking over the claim! I can't say enough about Tim, he always returned my calls and emails and answered all of my questions. Tim is an expert on brain injuries if you have been injured and suffered a brain injury call him he has the experience and knowledge to understand this life altering injury.

I am very leery of having to use an attorney for anything. I have been in many accidents that people recommended an attorney but luckily I have not had to use them. But for my recent incident only because of my outcome sustaining a TBI (tramatic Brain injury) along with other injuries to other extremities Tim Titolo was recommended to me by a trusted friend. After researching a few other attorneys my husband and I were confident with all the facts found on Mr. Titolo. Although my case was not as high profile as he is experienced with we had no doubt that we would be able to trust in his knowledge where we lacked in the given situation. I would highly recommend the Titolo Law Offices services if you find yourself with serious injuries such as a Brain injury.

I am so happy to review my attorney, Mr. Funk. He took care of my case, even with the challenges presented and got me much more than I thought possible for my suffering. I interviewed four other attorneys before going with Mr. Funk, because I felt he was the most realistic. He over-delivered. He communicated along the way, and always called me back with answers to my questions. Thank you, Mr. Funk!

Mr.Page was even tempered, diligent, professional, and amazingly knowledgeable about family law and the family court system here in Las Vegas. He answered my questions and explained everything clearly. Even in post divorce disputes he has provided me with excellent legal support. I truly appreciate the peace of mind he brought me during my case and through that, to my family. Anytime I need legal assistance, I will contact him first. Thank you Mr.Page.

This was my first accident lawsuit and I can’t thank kris enough! Me being a mother with 3 kids losing my job and transportation within a month of each other I was so stressed out and didn’t know where to turn..Kris contacted me not even an hour after being dropped off by my tow truck company he’s been on top of my case ever since! I wasn’t expecting it to settle so fast as I’ve read different stories online but Kris has made this process so easy for me. From getting me a rental car to helping with me getting access to the funds while my case was still in process all the way up to notifying me of the settlement payment which the insurance company paid and the max at that! I can’t thank him enough I’d trust him with any injury case of mine god forbid me getting into another accident though of course lol for my 1st experience with this situation I wish I could give him 10 stars! His energy is genuine and he will fight for you! Highly recommended!

Mr. Helmick came highly referred by a friend that had used him for his personal injury case when Kris was working for another local firm. I happened to cross pathes with him and had a need for his services as he was starting his own firm, Pacific West Injury Law. All I can say is that he is top notch. I am aware that his prior firm is considered one of the best in the state and the knowledge and care he takes with his clients shows he was under the tutelage of some exceptional lawyers. Mr. Helmick was set on reaching a goal for my family in our case and much exceeded the amount we were expecting. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a young determined attorney who is not afraid to go the extra mile for their clients. He doesnt take no for an answer and believe me it truely shows with the settlement we recieved. I cannot thank him enough for a job well done. Thank you again Kris Helmick and Pacific West Injury. 5 star recommendation!!!

Gene represented me awesomely against SallieMae over my guarantor issue on my son's student loan. We arbitrated for me like a BOSS and we cross-examined the SallieMae rep like he was a sponsored pro football player! When it was done, SallieMae grudgingly released me from the co-signer guaranty on one of the student loans - we also found out thru Gene's relentless cross-examination that there were in fact two loans instead of one. Next, I am going to sic Gene "Pit Bull" Kaufmann on Sallie Mae so they release me from loan no. 2. But I am binding my time and first plan to engage Gene to sue a major Las Vegas resort, for falsely imprisoning my son and then extorting credit card payment from me to get him released, all because his bathtub overflowed! Gene is the man! And he is as honest and truthful as east is from west!

Jonathan, Douglas and Daniel Reed are exceptional lawyers. They filed suit on my case and still charged only a 25% fee, which saved me more than $100,000 over a 1/3 fee and more than 200,000 over a 40% fee. When I was involved in a collision in Las Vegas, I did not know what to do. By chance we found the Reeds online and gave them a call. Jonathan met up with us at the hospital that day and walked us through the process and if we had any questions, we had his immediate contact. His politeness and availability won us over. It's been over a year since he worked with us and his team which includes Douglas and Daniel Reed, revealed discoveries that helped win my case. He worked around the clock. He always returned any phone calls or emails of questions within a day's time. He constantly updated us on the case. Anything that he knew, we knew. He spent the time to translate lawyer vernacular into layman's terms. He really looked out for our best interest. We won 1.9 million on my case!

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.
