Scott and his Legal Team are VERY professional and have your best interests in mind at all times. They have kept me well informed about my case along the way and have answered all of my questions and explained everything to me in full detail. From the first meeting I had with Scott, I knew my case was going to be in good hands. I was very confident in this amazing team and cannot thank Scott, Janelle, Stephanie and the other amazing team members for all of their help. You truly are the best at what you do and I cannot thank you all enough for helping settle my case!

I am so thankful for the help of Mr. Leonard and his team. Another lawyer I visited in NYC, recommended Scott, for getting hit by a car that happened in NJ right behind my house. I was scared and nervous because I've never sued anyone, or dealt with justice on this scale. Thanks to the Mr. Leonard and his team, they fought tooth and nail to help me get justice and to finally close a painful, embarrassing chapter of my life. Mr. Leonard walked me through the entire process and helped me every step of the way. Scott was always honest when talking to me about the case and answered every question I had. He gave me his personal number if I ever had questions, concerns, I needed to address. Scott would also call me to see how I was doing and give me updates on the case. Truly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very compassionate. I'll definitely go to him again if I ever need his help.

I just want to thank Ciro & his best efforts on my case and I’m glad to say that I am very content, he went above and beyond for our motor vehicle collision. The other party that hit us didn’t have an absolute thing (license, registration, etc. ) but Ciro fought and made sure my mother and I received a decent amount! It was a little wait but that’s to be expected, but he continuously made sure we were fine and grabbed every little information he needed to make sure our process went smoothly. Thank you so much and we appreciate you and your team !!

From the moment I telephoned Mr. Garruto after my motor vehicle accident to the resolution of the legal matter, I was nothing other than quite pleased with the Law Offices of Garruto & Calabria. Andy met with me following the accident and immediately assisted me with managing my health and automobile insurance issues, ensuring I received the best health care and treatment for my injuries and that my vehicle was repaired without delay. I don’t believe the average person is aware of the complex laws and rules regarding civil litigation. Familiar with the path of litigation, Andy’s knowledge, patience and forward thinking were of great asset in the resolution of my matter. Andy kept me abreast of developments and explained the ‘who, what, why and when’ of the issues as they arose. I never felt in the dark or without understanding of what was occurring. Every communication I had with the Law Offices of Garruto & Calabria was met with a courteous and professional response. If Andy was not immediately available, calls were promptly returned and emails quickly answered. I honestly believe that were it not for the care and compassion of Andy Garruto, regardless of his exceptional legal mind, I would not have been able to navigate the difficulties and confusion caused by insurance companies, adversary counsel, medical professionals, auto repair facilities, etc. Andy’s calm hand guided me through the torrent of legal chaos. His sound legal mind navigated the way and brought the event to a favorable conclusion.

After four years processing a Will which Bertone herself describes as "a simple, uncomplicated case involving few assets", she has produced nothing but delay and deceitful excuses for her incompetence. Violating even minimal standards, Bertone refuses to set her fee, only indicating that her share of the inheritance will be more than any intended beneficiary receives. She's provided numerous examples of collusion with opposing counsel to ensure his cut is as excessive and lucrative. Her practice is essentially parasitic. Don't be swayed by bogus reviews full of flattering adjectives and no specific information. This firm should be avoided like the plaque.

I can’t say enough good things about Nazario and Parente! They guided me and my husband through selling one home and buying another, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Tara is not just a great lawyer—she is kind, personable, and so easy to work with. Tara really took the time to understand what we needed and knew exactly when to push things forward and when to step back and let things happen naturally. Any time I had a question (and I had a lot!), Tara (and Thales) were always available with clear, thoughtful answers. Their attention to detail and ability to navigate tricky situations made what could have been a stressful process feel so much easier. Yes, in New Jersey, you *can* buy or sell a home without a lawyer—but, why would you when you could lawyers like Nazario and Parente in your corner? I’d recommend them to anyone!

I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible support and expertise we received from Fetkey & Petty and their team. Mr. Fetkey handled my son’s case with unmatched professionalism, deep knowledge of the law, and an unwavering dedication to achieving the best outcome. His ability to navigate the complexities of juvenile law in New Jersey was remarkable. Before finding Fetkey & Petty, we had another lawyer from Staten Island who completely dropped the ball on my son’s case. Feeling frustrated and hopeless, a friend recommended Fetkey & Petty to us, and it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. From the moment we connected with their office, we knew we were in good hands. Mr. Fetkey took the time to explain every step of the process to us, ensuring that we felt informed and reassured along the way. Thanks to his tireless efforts, we achieved the best possible result for my son, and for that, I will always be thankful. I also want to give special recognition to Maria from their staff—she is simply amazing! Maria was compassionate, attentive, and always available to address our concerns. Her kindness and exceptional organizational skills made such a difference in easing the stress during this process. If you’re looking for a legal team that genuinely cares and works tirelessly for their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Fetkey & Petty. Mr. Fetkey and his team are an incredible group of people who deliver exceptional results.

Mr. Caminiti was always attentive and there to help me with every problem and concern I had. He helped me figure out how to deal with the insurance companies so that all my medical bills would be paid (something no one without his experience could ever have figured out), and he even got me a settlement beyond anything I thought I’d get! But most importantly, he cared about me and my family and about helping us recover from this terrible accident.

Drinkwater & Goldstein demonstrates exceptional responsiveness, promptly returning all calls and maintaining punctual appointments. Their staff is not only efficient but also friendly. What distinguishes them from other firms is their commitment to exceeding the typical scope of services. When they represent you, the attorneys go the extra mile, providing value that surpasses the cost. A lawyer must possess not only a comprehensive understanding of the law but also excellent detective skills. It involves delving into every nuance of analogous cases, conducting thorough investigations, and unearthing precedents relevant to the legal matter at hand. This law firm extensively searches for specialists in the relevant field of each case, ensuring comprehensive coverage for their clients. Just like when my dog needed an X-ray at a local vet who although had an xray machine they did not employ a radiologist, my vet sent it to a specialist. Despite not charging extra, this expert radiologist identified issues the local vet could not read revealing our dog had a tumor with limited time left. Thanks to this expertise, we now have a clear course of action and will proceed accordingly. That's the level of service you receive with Drinkwater & Goldstein. Their expert opinions and collaborative approach ensure informed decisions for their clients so you can “proceed accordingly”. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I am writing this testimonial to praise Brian and Justin Drazin and the outstanding staff at the law firm of Drazin and Warshaw in Red Bank, New Jersey. I experienced a pedestrian (me) versus vehicle accident in early 2020 and was recommended to Mr. Drazin. Brian is a gem. He successfully navigated me and my case through the labyrinth of the insurance and justice system. He patiently listened to me and took time to answer my many questions. He kept me calm as together we weaved our way over the ensuing years to a fair settlement. I also dealt with Justin with equally wonderful result. Without hesitation, I confidently recommend the Drazin law firm and those working within that group to anyone needing legal representation. They will do you well.

Our disabled daughter was injured when a speeding car lost control, crossed lanes, hit the taxi she was in and caused it to roll. The problems and confusion this caused in a "no fault" state (where the passenger's auto insurance (none) is to cover their injuries) seemed insurmountable. This firm not only handled all this chaos smoothly but was able to obtain an unexpectedly large settlement for her. In conclusion, I am so glad we were told to go to them and if, God forbid, we would need such a firm again, I would definitely use them.

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.
