I cannot sing the praises of Mr.Ungaro and his staff, loudly enough. When we first spoke on the phone, I was impressed that he instructed me in a very pragmatic manner on what my options were, and possible outcomes if I were to allow his law firm to represent me. He made it clear he could not guarantee the outcome that I was looking for, but reassured me that he and his team would do their best to help me achieve the result that I sought. I am very happy to say that his words were not empty, because that's exactly what he did; I got the results I'd hoped for, and "won my case". Every member of his staff that I dealt with, were stellar in their actions. This firm exceeded my expectations, and I'd advise anyone seeking representation in this firm's area of expertise, to unhesitatingly engage them to fight on their behalf.

Mr.Elbaum , and Ms.Nelly were pleasant and genuine during initial consult.
I was informed and advised on all decisions and options that I would make. I was contacted on a regular basis informing me on the progress of the case. Did not feel any pressure to make any decisions until I felt Mr.Elbaum did all he can to achieve the maximum monetary compensation for my case.

Honestly, you can't and won't find better attorney than Jordan Merson. He, alongside his team, made one of the most horrific experiences a much easier process to live through. At our first meeting, I felt immediate relief due to the confidence that he displayed. His analytical ability and years of experience enable him to provide thoughtful, and most importantly, practical legal advice that is easy to understand. I am so happy with the outcome of my case, It was way more than I envisioned and it's all thanks to him and his team. I highly commend his firm and I am forever grateful for having him on my side.

I contacted several lawyers regarding my accident. Marty was the first one who was more concerned about my injury than any possible settlement. This was very important to me. He guided me through no-fault insurance in order to find a doctor, and he did it knowing there might not be a lot of money in the end.
I know how factory-like insurance can be. When you're hurt that's a really awful place to be. But Marty fixed the problems and I got better.

It is my pleasure to have Michael J Laucello as my personal injury attorney. He is empathetic, competent, professional and always ready to go the extra mile for his client. I was bitten by a dog several months ago. He did an outstanding job to make sure I was well taken care of. During the first time we met, he had spent a lot of time explaining every detail related to my case, had lots of patience with me and answered every question I had. At that time, he also came up with several specialists around the area near me out of his head, and wrote their name down on a piece of paper to make sure I can find the right doctor to get the right treatment. That was the moment I knew I had found the right person to handle my case. During these months, He fought hard on my behalf when I was overwhelmed, kept me totally informed of the case progress and also achieved a greater outcome than I could have ever imagined. I am grateful for his hard work. I would recommend Michael J Laucello and absolutely he is the best!

Yes, he actually answers the phone! My past experience with Attorneys, and any professional frankly these days, is that they take your money and then ghost you for weeks. Mark will literally answer his phone in the middle of the night, not a secretary, not an answering service, HIM! He is caring, hard-working and dam good at his job. Don't think twice about hiring him.

I hired Marc several times for traffic cases such as speeding and Driving Without a License and the result was always favorable to me. Recently, I was charged with my third DUI and was facing a possible lifetime license revocation. In this case, Marc won the DMV refusal hearing AND punched so many holes in the prosecutor's case that they had to offer me a non DUI resolution. Marc saved me years of license revocations, interlocks, thousands in fines, court costs, and penalties. Thanks again Marc.

Mark Kokosa was professional, very knowledgeable about criminal law. His prices were very reasonable compared to many other lawyers that wanted to charge three times as much. On my court date Mr. Kokosa was quick on settling a plea deal with the DA and the Judge. I would recommend Mark Kokosa if you're looking for straight forward and personable representation.

Dominick is fantastic. We've used him for two home purchases and one home sale, and also referred him to family members who used him for a home purchase as well.
Dominick's diligence to defend the needs and preferences of his clients is unmatched. He truly went above and beyond to ensure our best interest was accommodated throughout the entire process.
Sometimes he'd loop us into emails and we'd see he'd been working behind the scenes amongst other attorneys, sellers, the banks, etc. continuously driving our deal forward and navigating some tricky situations along the way.
Communication was also seamless, simple, and quick whether on the phone or email. We appreciated how real and honest he was, never trying to do "lawyer speak" or make things feel complicated. We were able to understand what was happening every step of the way.
We're so thankful for Dominick and how he advocated for us to make what should've been stressful feel a lot more manageable. We highly recommend his services.

I've worked with multiple attorneys who have handled different matters for me and by far John has gone above and beyond in his representation. I hired him for several real estate transactions and also a Will preparation. I am beyond grateful to have done so. He is incredibly efficient, intelligent and experienced. He has the ability to maneuver through complicated real estate transactions with ease while protecting my interests and maintaining fair dealings for all. I have recommended him to my family and friends and all have said what an amazing job he has done for them. They continue to use him when an attorney is needed and they know that he will always guide them in what's best for them. I have total confidence in the job he does and continuously look to him for legal advice. His honesty and integrity are two of his strongest characteristics and in today's day and age that is (sadly) hard to come by. I would highly recommend John to any client seeking legal counsel. You will not regret it!

I have known both William Larkin & Joseph Farrell for about 3 years. They have represented me in the most professional manner, their ethics are of the highest standards. Their friendship, courtesy, knowledge and honesty have become very important to me during the two years as they represented me in my case against my former employer for a breach of contract with respect to my employee severance agreement. I have used Larkin & Farrell, LLC as my attorneys in my business matters and will again in my will and estate advice. I have no problem recommending them to friends as well as business associates.

My husband was diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma and Weitz and Luxenberg was recommended to us. Adam Dreksler came to our home to meet with us and he explained why we should persue this matter with him representing Weitz and Luxenberg. He carefully reviewed my husband's exposure to asbestos. We retained Adam Dreksler as our attorney to prosecute our case. Adam filed a lawsuit, went to trial and quickly resolved our case. Although my husband passed away my family is extremely pleased with the results that Adam has provided us with.

Our mother was diagnosed with mesothelioma in February 2017. It was an extremely difficult time for our family. We were recommended to Mr. Williams through a friend who had a family member also diagnosed with mesothelioma. Mr. Williams met my mother in the hospital and stayed in contact with her two daughters, and husband. The Williams Law Firm does a wonderful job keeping the family members in the loop of what occurs with the case. Mesothelioma is a horrible disease that people shouldn’t have. Mr. Williams and his diligent team helped our father to receive justice for a disease our mother never should have been diagnosed with. We recommend Mr. Williams and his team for anyone who needs to deal with mesothelioma or any asbestos case. They are extremely professional and hardworking.

In the Fall of 2017 our family retained The Williams Law Firm to represent a member of our family. Mr. Williams took time to visit our home to explain the entire process at the same time answering questions or concerns expressed by the family. During the entire legal process Mr. Williams and his staff kept our family informed, always communicating with us at a level we could all understand. In the final days of my father-in-laws life, Mr Williams became a trusted family friend and adviser as well as our attorney. His recommendations and advice were given to us as if he were part of our family. There are not sufficient stars available for our family to adequately rate the services of The Williams Law Firm that were provided.

From the moment I contacted Rosenberg & Gluck, I was treated like a top priority. Erin Hargis took on my case in April 2016 with confidence, fighting hard for me for over two years and earning me a settlement award that was over double the initial offer! Talented, thorough and effective are all words I would use to describe Erin, but she is also compassionate, responsive and personable. Above all, she made me feel optimistic in spite of my suffering and she assured me in many ways that she and her colleagues were invested in my case and invested in my well being as well. Thank you, Erin! You exceeded my expectations!

I highly recommend Erin Hargis she is very good at what she does and I trusted her the whole way.

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.
