Attorney Readyoff represented us in a LL/tenant matter (as property owners) and we are confident his careful and measured approach was crucial in the matter being resolved quickly and without complication.
I was angry about the issue we brought to him, and without judgement of my emotions, he suggested a solution that initially seemed very procedural to me, but we fully committed to his recommendation.
Once he started the process, things changed drastically with the tenant. In ways, it appeared very little happened, but it made all the difference: we regained possession of the property. He never personally contacted the tenant and reminded us not to engage them.
Such matters are never comfortable, but Dan's professionalism and graciousness toward everyone made things manageable. I really respect the way he handled this matter, and I appreciate the outcome.
We are grateful for Attorney Readyoff's help.

I came to Barry 4 years ago for a work comp case. I had no idea what to do or who to turn to. I had a friend going through the same thing with the same insurance company. My friend referred me to Barry. It has been a very long process, but having Barry on my side and helping me understand the process has helped me so much. Barry helped me get a second opinion from another doctor who said he was able to help me. Barry was also able to get me my temperary disability pay while I was out of work. I know on my own that would not have happened. Like I said it has been a 4 year road in this process but as it sit here today and write this I am pain free and I am able to live a normal life again and I have Barry Moller to thank . My case is still ongoing for now, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I am thankful to have Barry fighting for me. He has been there to answer my questions and concerns. I have to say his paralegal Denise has been amazing as well.
Thank you a thousand times Barry and Denise. I know it's not over yet but what you guys have done so far with my case has helped me be pain free and able to participate in life again.

Attorney Barry Moller is not only a fantastic lawyer but a wonderful person. I have a very difficult and often downright nasty case and I feel so lucky to know that I have Barry and his paralegal Denise always looking out for my well being. I trust them wholeheartedly and I love that we are able to work as a team. I try my very hardest to improve my health as much as possible and Barry and Denise always go above and beyond to fight for me to get the best medical care possible. I had a lawyer previous to meeting Attorney Moller so he did not take on my case at the beginning. My case was not in a good place due to misrepresentation so he had to work even harder to prove I am a genuine, hard working person that just wants to feel better and get back to living as normal life as possible. Barry is very straight forward and will tell you like it is. I really like this quality as I also know that when he says something he really means it. Barry was recommended to me by a very close family friend and I highly recommend him as well. I really can’t put into words the positive impact he has had on my life and I will be forever thankful. If you are looking for a lawyer to represent you for a worker’s compensation case, you will not find a team better then Attorney Barry Moller and is paralegal Denise Maytas.

I was referred to Atty. Heather Perreault by a professional contact who recommended Atty. Perreault as a fantastic resource. This contact explained that she was actually the opposing counsel in her prior divorce proceedings and was preferred to her own attorney. My experience with Atty Perreault was nothing short of fantastic and she deserves the highest recommendation. She has a welcoming, warm, and supportive interpersonal approach that immediately will create a sense of comfort ability and peace of mind. She breaks down the process very well and makes all easy to navigate. Her approach is objective, balanced, and is responsive to all requests. She made an extremely challenging and traumatic situation bearable and was very direct and transparent with goings ons, keeping me in the loop and breaking down every pertinent detail. Her knowledge and experience were indispensable and my case ended up going better than expected.
When walking out of the courtroom on the final day of my case, another unknown lawyer approached me in passing and said, “Yeah, I wouldn’t want to mess with your Attorney...she’s tough!” His words couldn’t have been more true. It’s good to know kindness and fierceness can co-exist in this world. Two essential qualities of someone working as your advocate during challenging times! (Apparently Atty Perreault is also a highly regarded in criminal defense in addition to specializing in family law). Lastly,the fees incurred via her representation were very reasonable and she was more than fair when invoicing me. I have sent and will continue to send prospective clients her way who deserve the best of the best!

I hired phillip spillane to represent me on a workmans comp case. He seemed more interested in settling my case than getting me the help i needed. I had to fire him and retain another attorney who actually had my best interest in mind not his. My new attorney was able to get me the corrective surgery I needed. BEWARE dont make the same mistake i made it could cost you, Not just money but pain as well.

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.
