I have been dealing with this law firm for two years and it felt like I have been knowing Megan Kiefer and Chris Shorts for 20 years. Not only did they help me with my case but I feel like we connected. Every step and every I that needed to be dotted, I was called and informed about it. They were patient with me and I was patient with them. When my case came to an end, after 2 yrs, I really didn’t want it to end because I knew I would not have the opportunity to talk to these very nice, helpful, and caring people at Kiefer & Kiefer. They went over and beyond when I to give up. Those 2 yrs paid off really well. I haven’t been in a financial space like this in 42 years. Thanks to Kiefer & Kiefer. I would recommend any and all accidents and what ever cases they handle to this law firm. The first time I met Megan, it was like I have known her for years. Everyone connected to this law firm was friendly, kind, and courteous. This is a law firm where I felt comfortable the minute I walked off the elevator.Kiefer & Kiefer is the place to be for your accident relief.

Community, I would like to give a huge thanks to this attorney. Almost a year to this date I paced together that I was being targeted by law enforcement. I reached out to this gentleman, he asked me a few questions, then proceeded to give me the best advice/ suggestions on how to protect myself. A year later I may still be dealing with these scumbags. However, I am still clear of law enforcement nefarious framework. Listen to him, he knows what he’s talking about. Thanks Mr. Carbine, I wish you the best on journey. You are one solid guy in my book.

I chose Cosse Law Firm based on a recommendation and after having a consult. Chip Cosse had initial discussions with me and scheduled doctors and physical therapy appointments to address my injuries. Attorney Alex Dimitry was assigned to my case. We spoke on the phone, and he gathered all of the information he needed from me and answered all of the questions I had. His goal was to get me as healthy as possible, gather the facts of my case, and have me fairly compensated. He anticipated every aspect of my case and hired the proper professionals to assess my vehicle computer and recreate the accident to show that the driver that struck me from the rear should have been able to avoid the collision. He was with me at my deposition and ensured that it was conducted in a professional manner. After my surgery and deposition he followed up with me in regards to my recovery and to explain any developments with my case. I believe I was fairly compensated as a result of Alex's hard work and attention to detail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Jamie is super nice and explains any questions you have and is just a pleasure to work with! She also communicates everything that is going on so that you’re not in the dark about your case. I didn’t speak to Katelyn but I want to thank her for working on my case as well! I will definitely use them again in the future if I need to!

Tom and his staff were fantastic. Everything was very professional and Tom is a really comforting person in general. My accident brought me a lot of grief while my disabled daughter was having trouble and my mother was dying. Tom And the staff adapted to everything.. I got a good settlement that doesn’t take away the pain from everything and the surgeries but certainly helped. I highly recommend Tom and the Schlossman firm.

Words can"t express the professionalism, caring and the willingness Atty. Utely exudes in his profession. My experience with him was truly amazing from the beginning to the end. My initial meeting with Mr. Utely, I first noticed he is a great listener and very patient. His conversation begun with I can't GAURANTEE you anything, but I can PROMISE you that I will work hard and diligently on the case. "and that he did". His hard work and time put in expedited exactly what I prayed for. Mr. Utely is a man of his words , dedicated to his clients and his profession. He is a man of integrity, valor and honesty. With all this being said. I highly RECOMMEND him to all that need Legal Representation. I promise you, that you won't be disappointed or have any regrets with choosing Atty. Dylan Utely.

I contacted Attorney Utley in 2021 to see if he would be willing to represent my fiancé on his mission to be released from prison. I can remember googling lawyers in New Orleans, calling everyone listed and being insulted and hung up on so many times until finally I spoke with Atty Utley. I told him a little background and he told me didn't do post convictions, but with some more detail he'd be interested in looking at it. I can be honest and say there were a lot of odds stacked against my fiancé, which made sense as to why Utley was skeptical of the actual possibility of winning and my love being released from prison. No matter what was stacked against us, Atty Utley faced it head on with patience, integrity, honesty, humility, tenacity, and diligence. For 3 years I witnessed Utley and the DiGulio firm go above and beyond what we could've ever thought to ask for utilizing their time and the necessary resources and contacts to get a favorable outcome for not just the one incarcerated, but for our family, and the other parties involved. With God's favor and the DiGulio firm, the outcome was beyond favorable and better than we could have expected. There is no reason for you to contact any other firm, the DiGulio's will indeed get the job done. You will have an invaluable attorney by hiring this firm!

I live far out-of-state and had an old (but minor) traffic violation ticket that needed to be cleared from my license *in-person*. Obviously, this was not going to be possible for me to travel to NOLA, so I contacted Seth about appearing for me in court to resolve this matter.
In my case, this whole experience was effortless and the matter was resolved without any issue. I felt completely at ease from the start that everything would be taken care of, and I got a message immediately after the court date notifying me that all of the charges were dismissed! I could not be happier with their professionalism, care and representation!
Thank you, Bloom!!

Rodger Jordan is very responsive to your needs and if you have any questions, he does a great job of getting back to you in a very timely manner. By the grace of God, did I find Rodger because without him I would have never beat my case. Thank you Rodger Jordan for everything that you've done for me throughout all these years.

I contacted the New Orleans Bar Association and asked for a lawyer who participated in the Bar's Modest Means Program. Mr. Beasley came up and I consulted with him on a Saturday morning at his office. After explaining my situation to him and my desire to pursue bankruptcy he advised against it for me. This stuck with me since he was putting what he believed were my best interests ahead of what would be a potential fee for him. I went ahead and pursued bankruptcy and he was very professional and helpful throughout the process.

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.
