Mr. Burris' helped me with a lawsuit involving my son. It took a few years and the outcome wasn't even on the brighter side. BUT I felt he guided me honest and has a great office staff behind him. My attorney Sam Benham, amazing. His paralegal Karla always returned calls and really knew what she was doing I think. The girls were always so nice, helpful, and seemed like they worked hard. Truly cared and sympathetic to my horrible case - at least made me feel that way. God Bless Sam and Karla. Thank you for all the hard work you did over the years.

In Mr. Skaggs' s own words, my case was the most medically complicated case he ever handled and he did it with dignity, compassion and care beyond the call of duty. He sent me flowers after neck surgery as a result of injuries sustained in my car accident and sent cards and small gifts encouraging me as the opposition continued to challenge my case. He answered every call, even when he was on vacation and if he would be unavailable he actually called me, at my request, at 6am when I had questions and serious concerns. Mr. Skaggs never gave up and fought as hard as humanly possible to protect my interests in the present and to protect my future due to the injuries I sustained in my accident. I was truly impressed with the amount of knowledge he had about pre-existing conditions (and the conditions themselves) and their bearing on personal injury lawsuits. He let me vent my frustration, he never rushed me off the phone and he always welcomed my input on the complicated case. When the opposition finally settled, Mr. Skaggs ensured my present and future financial security with my extensive medical expenses negotiated and paid. If you need a Personal Injury attorney, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions, Mr. Skaggs is the only attorney to consider in Las Vegas.

I contacted another law firm for a personal injury claim. They referred me to Adam. He is on the ball, responsive, assertive, and attentive. Within literally 2 hours of meeting with him the first time, he had opened the insurance claims, arranged medical care for me. He has no problem returning calls himself, usually within minutes. Can't say enough good things about him.

Phil was courteous and attentive. He listened patiently, interjecting questions when needed. Correspondence was sent out quickly and documents filed on time. Phil was easy to reach if I had a concern and was also excellent at contacting me when there was something to report.
I went into our first meeting with opposing counsel and my now, ex-partner feeling very anxious. Immediately it became obvious Phil was well-versed in my case. He was able to root out the weakness in opposing counsels positions, surgically dissecting inconsistencies in their arguments, showing they were ill-prepared. By the end of this first meeting I was sitting tall, knowing that I was in good hands.
It was enjoyable working with Phil. I could tell he really enjoys what he does. He treated my case like a chess game, anticipating opposing counsels moves, then figuring out how to overcome two moves ahead.
One thing I really appreciated was his honesty. He let me know potential costs and time involved with my choice of paths to take.
Sometimes in business you can get bitter and want revenge. You argue over principle rather than a fair and just outcome. Phil kept me focused on the intellectual aspect of my case rather than on my emotions that would have cost me $1000's of wasted dollars. He truly is a remarkable attorney.

Richard is the kindest, most sincere attorney I have ever came across in life anywhere in the world. He settled our high problematic Immigration problem with care and concern. He went over and beyond all the contractual agreements we had to ensure our success was concluded.
He started in Washington State, moved to Nevada, and never stopped continuing just like we sat together in a room but separated by states, and even when I didn't get it or was way behind, he picked up my slack to keep the case in-front of the government and active by doing a lot of my work.
Richard is truly the best, and working like this in this tough world, I am sure the clients will line up to have a genuine person representing them.

We had the priviledge of having Melissa represent our company in a case and we were so impressed at her honesty and integrity in every situation and dealing. She has the ability to maintain consistency when in trial and does not waiver. She relates to a jury in a positive manner and communicates clearly. She is reliable and dependable, meeting all her court dates and timeframes. Melissa is professional and articulate while maintaining respect to all those she dealt with and we would highly recommend her.
Melissa stands out in a sea of attorneys because her good character allows her to stand out head and shoulders above her competition. You would be wise to consult with Melissa.

Kevin Diamond is the most honest and professional attorney I have had the pleasure to work with. A friend of mine was injured at my house resulting in his becoming a parapalegic. My insurance company refused to pay the policy limits (1 million) and I was facing a probable verdict of at least 5 times that amount at trial. I retained Kevin to protect my interest against my insurance company. I am a JD and MBA who has worked extensively in litigation support. He did an amazingly thorough and extremely professional job. The insurance company eventually settled the claim but I felt comfortable that we had established a great bad faith claim if they went to trial and there was a verdict over the policy limits. Kevin is always responsive and kept me informed every step of the way.
His bill ran somewhat higher than the original estimate and he has been kind enough to let me make monthly payments.
I have recommended him to others.

Mr. Goldberg worked hard for me and my wc/pi cases from the start till the end. He was available to answer my questions, calm my fears and prepare me for hearings. He sent me to good doctors and looked over the doctor's reports to make sure I received the care I needed. He fought with the adverse insurance to get my car fix and to get the money I deserved. He was very knowledgable, friendly and down to earth.

We have had Mike Kealy for our attorney, both professionally and personally, for nearly 30 years. Mike's many strenghts include his ability to grasp situations that he may not have previously encountered, his preparedness, patience and willingness to take the time to explain all facets of a given proceeding. We have engaged Mike's services in real estate matters, both on the buying end and selling end, landlord/tenant issues, corporate and civil matters, insurance, litigation, and even a bit in estate planning. Not only do we find Mike's wealth of knowledge and expertise immense, we find that his motto of "prepare, prepare, prepare" certainly pays off on behalf of his clients. There is nothing worse than not knowing where you stand in a given situation and Mike never puts you in that position - he always keeps you informed, makes sure of your understanding, and keeps you apprised of any new developments.

Ryan McElhinney Esq. of the Barber Law Group helped me reclaim my 'voice' after not being heard in the workplace for four years. Ryan gets results. He is sharp, compassionate, available, Ryan does not disappoint. He takes your case seriously and is very attentive. His staff is top notch as well. I was very fortunate to have been referred to Ryan McElhinney at the Barber Law Group. My emails and phone calls were always answered promptly. I was never left guessing as to the status of my case. I felt he cared. I highly recommend the Barber Law Group/Ryan McElhinney for any legal needs.

No words can describe what Jessica did for my son and my life. When I found Jessica it was through word of mouth. She was referred to me by Ms. McNair. I was informed she is the best family law attorney. I came to her for a custody of my only son and a relocation out of the state of Nevada. Gus and Jessica were both present at school my consultation. I was terrified with my situation and I was in desperate need of a great attorney. Jessica was there taking notes, asking the right questions, she was genuine, caring, empathetic/sympathetic, she listened, she was very quick to make sure my case was handled the right way. I was with her for a full year (due to Covid 19 delays). I trusted her, she was thorough, professional, she answered all my questions, she made sure she was always available, she is incredibly intelligent and full of knowledge. She led my case and worked really hard. I had a complicated case and I was very needy. She always made sure that my ex did not take advantage of the situation, she was a fair attorney and she looked at both sides at all times. I could not have done it without her hard work, persistence, patience, intellect, experience. She led my case and I won. I won full custody of my son and was able to relocate out of Nevada. She is now a judge and she is an amazing attorney/judge. I’m very bless and thankful that she was my attorney. She was my blessing in disguise. I miss her and I’m so grateful for her. She really changed my son and my life. Thank you Ms. Jessica. I could not have done it without you.

Dean Patti and his staff exceeded all my expectations. I was so upset and injured after I got into an accident this year. My nearly brand new car was totaled when I was t-boned. I knew my hospitals were going to be high, and I had high deductibles. My employer recommended I speak to Dean, and I am glad I did. He gave me his cell phone number and told me I could call or text him anytime. I was surprised he answered, and when he couldn’t answer right away, he had one of his other attorneys contact me. In no time, he got the full insurance policy limits from the driver that hit me and from my own insurance policy, and then he negotiated down my medical bills so I can get some money for my pain and suffering. I would definitely recommend Dean and D.R. Patti & Associates.

Jarrad is very pleasant to work with, and more importantly he is very knowledgeable with regards to the law and does his "homework" to know and understand all that is taking place with our business issue.
Jarrad always makes himself available if we need to speak with on the phone, or if we communicate by email he is quick to answer. He also has an excellent paralegal who works closely with him, who is always available to discuss matters with or to pass on information to Jarrad.
In my opinion, Jarrad offers excellent advice, and represents us as if he were a part of our company. I highly recommend Jarrad to anyone who wants an intelligent and caring attorney.

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.
