My daughter was the victim of medical malpractice and went through a horrifying ordeal for several years. Jeffrey was one of the only bright spots in her life over that time. Always available to hear our concerns or give advice, often on issues that had nothing to do with our case. Our family will always be grateful for not only the financial reward, but his support and friendship in our time of need.

I have been using Tim for the better part of almost 20 yrs. He’s always given me the best legal advice to whatever issues that I had brought to his attention. Whether it was a divorce I was going through or child custody, he stood by me and made everything legally clear and concise. I recent used him on my house closing and he was on top of all the aspects of the closing and made me feel comfortable and explained everything. I will keep using Tim for all my legal needs. Thank you Tim.

Tim is a skilled, smart,and caring attorney. From the moment he took our case we knew we were in good hands. He was always very attentive to our case and concerns. He kept us up to date and explained every step of the process. Tim always answered our calls, or returned them promptly! With his legal knowledge and trial expertise he was able to win a difficult case, resulting in a large award of over $1,000,000, exactly the amount we were asking for!

I met Mr. Fennell when I was searching for an attorney for a bailment case that exceeded $250,000. I had just fired my attorney for not understanding the case. I interviewed 3 other attorneys and was impressed immensely by Mr. Fennell's intelligence and directness when discussing the case. Most importantly he included me in the case strategy and management and not once did he talk down to me or not include me in important decisions and factors about costs. After a 7-day jury trial, Mr. Fennell landed a jury verdict awarding in excess of $300,000. Defendant appealed and Mr. Fennell won again at appeal. I am happy to report that not only did his firm secure the victory in court, they also collected every dollar with interest for me. I have used Mr. Fennell's firm for Matrimony, Family Court, Estate Planning, and Commerical Litigation. I have been extremely happy with every matter I have handed him and have always found his billings to be reasonable and fair. The highest praise I can give Mr. Fennell is that he has complete integrity. He has it in his billings and in his approach with his clients. He has talked me out of more litigation then he has taken for me.

Attorney Coyle is by far one of the most dedicated and thorough Counsilors in the business! He spent countless hours researching my case and finding complimentary arguments to back up his position. "Andy" met with me as often as I needed to, to help me understand every step in the appeal process. His availability extended to 24/7 email correspondence, countless telephone calls if I had questions, and in person meetings as well. Attorney Coyle exudes confidence and professionalism when he's in court, making him a very great choice for representation in trial and any sort of legal presentation really. This man made me feel like he cared about justice in my favor. He represented me as if it were his own case he was appealing. I would hire him again and again should I ever need his services. Thank you for everything Counsilor! You're the best!

Vincent Albunio is an excellent attorney who really goes above and beyond for his clients, I'd trust him with anything, do not hesitate to call him. I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. He responds in an extreme timely matter, he is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Vincent was nothing was "sugar coated". He was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the probate court as well as the sale of my home. From start to finish, Vincent kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. He's done an excellent job in not only fighting FOR me, but also PROTECTING my interests! I highly recommend him for any estate matter needs you might have.

Mr. Albunio did an excellent job in drawing up my husband’s and my will on very short notice. He also went to bat for us when we faced almost immediate inaccessibility to our coop, due to no provisions being made for handicapped persons while the building’s elevator would be replaced over three months. AND he did it pro bono! My thanks to him. I recommend him highly!

Mr. Albunio is an awesome lawyer for many reasons. First, he will not lie to you at all but will do the best he can for your case. Second, he keeps his clients in the loop at all times and lastly, his manner of treatment is out of this world. He was very compassionate about my condition and treated my husband and I with respect at every turn, never minimizing my feelings. I especially like that he was very knowledgeable about his field of work and explained it to us so thoroughly and was able to help us understand the complexity of our case in layman terms. His concern for us and for my case was extraordinary, especially coming from a person who has such a busy schedule. All I can say is that I refer him to everyone and anyone who may have a need for a lawyer and if he cannot help them, he refers them to someone who can. I find that my experience with Mr. Albunio was one that I will treasure for all of my days.

Peter and the staff in his office helped us with a motor vehicle accident claim. He was always available when needed for questions. He was thorough and on top of everything throughout the process. There was 3 of us involved in the accident and when it was time to file the suit, he coordinated 2 other attorneys from outside his office so we were all represented without conflict of interest. This is a long process but Peter kept us informed throughout the entire process. While it does not help to get rid of the injuries and the pain endured on a daily basis we were able to reach an agreement for settlement with the insurance company. Thank you Peter and Staff for all of your help.

I had my first experience of being a plaintiff. I was very nervous. Kyle assured me that I was going to do great on the witness stand. Kyle prepared me for everything that was going to happen in the courtroom from the beginning to the end. There were no surprises. Kyle is a very friendly and personable attorney. I never had to wait days or hours for a return call. He was always flexible with his schedule when we had to meet due to my work schedule.

Margie Soehl is a top notch savvy attorney. She was recommended to us by a former client. She was not only legally savvy but also sensitive to my spouse's needs. For example, the injuries incurred as a result of the circumstances that led to the case, limited my spouse's physical abilities. She spoke to us about doing the necessary deposition over several days, as opposed to one marathon day that would have been superlatively challenging for my spouse. The entire firm was highly professional and able to blend their professionalism with customized client care with ease.

Beyond that he also explained that my particular injury was obvious and really didn’t require anything more than having the proper paper work filed.

Where do I begin? I spent 10 years battling a child custody matter with another Law firm and wasted several thousands of dollars. I hired Michael Meth back in January and we have been to court twice and each time I saw results. Michael has done for me in just a couple of months what the other law firm couldn't accomplish in 10 years. If only I had hired Michael from the beginning. Live and learn. I highly recommend Michael and I know you will be truly satisfied with the results. When you hire Michael Meth you get Michael Meth.

Mr. Meth and his team have represented me in criminal defense on multiple occasions, which admittedly does not say a lot for my character... I'm a young, stubborn and foolish man; blinded by my own arrogance and alcoholism and abhorrent decision making, I found myself making the same mistakes over and over again. Anyone who has been involved in the criminal justice system, whether you're the defense attorney, the DA, a judge or the defendant, you know that presiding judges do NOT look favorably upon repeat offenders. I first hired Meth law in 2014. From start to finish Mr. Meth, who always conducted himself professionally and respectfully to me, was able to navigate my case to a favorable disposition. In hindsight, what I respect the most about Mr. Meth's representation was that he did not just focus on the best outcome for me, right from the start he strongly encouraged and directed me to treatment for alcoholism during the case and even for after the case. Had i listened there is a good chance that the story would end right there, but alas, as i aforementioned I was stubborn and stupid. The following year I hired Meth Law again for a related, but not the exact same charge. Again Mr. Meth was able to get me a very favorable disposition. Seeing the behavioral pattern, he reminded and encouraged me to seek help and follow through instead of just half-assed participation and going through the motions. Again I didn't listen. Finally, in a particularly egregious and flagrant repeat of the original offense, I once again found myself in serious trouble (like the arraignment judge sets 5 figure bail on you kind if trouble) and in need of Meth Law's service. After barely affording the bail to get myself out of jail I found myself significantly short on the retainer fee to hire Meth Law. Understand the financial ruin I was in from posting bail and seeing my desperation and ability to make payments, Mr. Meth was very, very, reasonable and fair to let me pay half down and payments on the remaining balance while representing me from square 1. Instead of being entirely grateful, admittedly, at times i was a NIGHTMARE client to deal with. Between the fear over my future and my alcoholism, I was at times argumentative, combative and belligerent with the very people who were there to help and represent me. From reading applicable law sections, several applicable cases and case citations I led myself to believe that I knew more than I did and constantly argued with my representation, which as practicing attorneys, extremely intelligent men and women and law school graduates, had to have been woefully annoying. I acted childish and selfish, like I was the only client they had to worry about when it obviously was not the case. In spite of all of that... in spite of lashing out while having nobody to blame but myself... I was given a stern reminder of the way things were and why, all the while being treated respectfully without condescension and the utmost professionalism. I finally listened to Mr. Meth's advice and he guided me to excellent professional help for my alcoholism. I am going on 2 years sober to this day, I wish I listened sooner. I wound up having to do some time, and I deserved it. If it wasn't for Meth Law I would've had to do way more and would've come out of the correctional system irreparably broken and directionless like so many others. In spite of making many awful and stupid mistakes, I was given one last chance to get things right and make something of myself before I became a washed up, old loser... and I have Meth Law to thank for that. The retainer fees were always fair, Mr. Meth and his staff: Evan, Bianca, Tara, Christina were all fantastic extremely professional and courteous. They always responded to my inquiries immediately or ASAP and despite my immaturities, I was always treated with respect. I cant say enough good about this firm, I recommend them 100% Thank you Meth Law for your help and representation!

Stuck in a hotel with my two children after being ordered by judge to not leave the state to go back to our home in FL Michael Picked up my call at 7 am on Saturday Morning. From that moment on I shut up and listened (for the most part) and he has been by my side over the past year and half fighting for my rights and my children's best interest. Michael in a matter of days had his team on my case and corrected the wrong that was done by the Judge and my previous attorney and sent us home where we belonged. At my first court appearance with Michael with in seconds of him standing up and fighting for us I knew all I had to do was sit back and let him work. He is beyond intelligent, very quick on his feet and has no fear of fighting for his clients be it with opposing counsel or a judge. He is truly and advocate for his clients. Michael and his team are second to none. We have been in the lower court (family/supreme) and the higher court (Appellate division) and he has continued to prevail on every level even in the face of some heavy adversity within the courts. If you find yourself in need of a legal team to support you and guide you on winning your case without having to mortgage your home and go into debt for the rest of your life and who genuinely cares, Meth law is the right place. If you don't have him, get him..

Tim just settled a personal injury case for me. Second one I've had but WAY different with Tim than with my last lawyer. Unlike my last lawyer, Tim answered my calls (ALL of them), kept me up to date on my case, made predictions about what would happen next , how long it would take to settle the case, how much more we could likely get if we did A, B or C, whether we had been offered their highest and best, and he was right every time. You know, like he had done this a thousand times before and was an expert in handling the kind of case I had. He would even tell me why he thought the claims rep would be replaced with another one (which also happened about a week later!) and thta the new one would agree with our argument that the prior offer was too low. My last lawyer never called me back when I called, never picked up, didn't know what my case was about when I did hear from him and took almost FOUR years to resolve the case. I had to take time off from work CONSTANTLY too. Tim got it done in 6 months, I never had to ask him how my case was going because he would text and call me every time somethinig happened, and negotiated more money than I ever thought I would get. I kept wanting to accept offers and he would say, "no, not yet," not forbidding me but just advising that the insurance company would recognize that they needed to offer more. And he was right. BEST lawyer. Warm person too, free with any sort of advice for my entire family (never rushed me off the phone), which really helped out my family and saved my son's driver's license too.

This is the second time I've used Tim McEnaney for a closing, and the experience was even better than the first. Mr. McEnaney is to understand, very friendly and easy to reach (He even game me his cell number and I was able to contact him after hours and on weekends). Mr. McEnaney is very knowledgeable, not only about the closing process, but also about renovation costs (he's experienced in real estate investment and "flipping"), and about town code issues, variances, etc. Both times, he took his time to answer all over my questions (no matter how stupid) and never rushed our conversations to get off the phone. Mr. McEnaney even reviewed the inspection report with me over the phone and took the time to explain everything I had concerns about, which was quite a lot! ;) He really set me at ease and negotiated a substantial price reduction for some items that came up in our inspection. I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Highly recommended!

If you're searching for an attorney, you must consider one's experience, temperament, personality, responsiveness, and legal finesse in dealing with "divorce" especially when children are at stake causing an embattlement the likes of which the movie Kramer vs. Kramer looks like a Disney movie. Tony and I never went to trial, but fully prepared for it up to the day of trial. His responsiveness is uncanny. He does not raise his voice, is not aggressive, but when arguing points, he will back his opponent into a corner with untenable arguments. He responds to emails almost immediately. He knows the law. We dealt with the opposition consistently lying, as did my Ex, about all matters and were prepared to expose the truth at trial. Go for a consult. Its a no brainer to higher such a qualified, personable, and knowledgeable lawyer who is a regular guy. His office staff were also friendly, competent, and compassionate. He will also make you aware of all strategies, and the costs for applying each. After, forensics, law guardians, parenting coordinators, full trial prep, I'm satisfied with the outcome as much as one can be. I was ready to see this through to the very end, and did, with a competent attorney in Tony beside me.

We were first referred to Anthony Russo in 1993 when we purchased our home. From that experience and several others through the years, I must concur with every accolade I have read in all the other reviews. Anthony's "desk side manner" is compassionate, knowledgeable, and patient: everything one needs in what might otherwise be a stressful process when working with a lawyer. This also applies to every one of his staff with whom we have had contact. On the other end, he is efficient and proficient at the law with minimal stress to his clients (specifically myself and my husband) he gets the best outcome with seeming ease. 35 years later, from the experience of purchasing our home with his help, I carry great affection for Anthony and his team.

Thank God for Mr. Wagner ! My husband and I, could not have made a better choice when hiring him to diligently and efficiently handle our case. He was able to avidly push for a major decrease in our wait time for an adjournment (twice), and get our case completely dismissed in the matter of days. He also has excellent communication skills and we cannot thank him enough for that. He worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome on my husband's behalf and was considerate and empathetic of the conflict of time we had on our hands. He definitely calmed my anxieties and reassured us throughout the whole process. Everything turned out even better than expected. We will definitely be recommending him and his firm if the opportunity arises. Warmest Regards, Deborah

An unfortunate scaffolding accident affected my livelihood drastically. The incident resulted in a broken arm and a minor spinal injury which required immediate medical attention and cost me a great deal of money. However, my employer wasn’t very keen on providing me the compensation that he owed and kept on delaying the things until I took my concern to Stephanie Ovadia. She carefully examined all the details of the case and went out of her way to bring the justice to my case. Not only did she secure the right compensation for me but also helped in getting the loss of wages due to the long recovery period. I am very thankful to her for her help and the compassion that she has is truly remarkable.

I am Jennifer, working in a software company, met with an accident two months back in my company. As per the Law, it is the right of every employee to be compensated by the company, if the accident occurs in the office premises. But, my company refused to compensate me and I was unable to pay the high treatment cost. One of my friends suggested me to contact Stephanie Ovadia for the legal assistance. The legal assistance of Stephanie Ovadia helped me to get adequate compensation. This was seriously a big challenge for me to claim for the compensation from my company. All this has been possible only with the best legal assistance of this reputed legal attorney. I am very happy with the services of Stephanie Ovadia. I suggest all the victims of personal injury to contact Stephanie Ovadia for the legal representation in case you receive any kind of physical damage.

I am a university student and live in New York. I was recently involved in a motorbike accident. A car crashed with me and I was brutally injured. One of my relatives suggested that i should take services of Stephanie Ovadia law firm. And I cannot be more glad that I did. Not only did I got justice but I was also availed monetary help. My expenses due to this injury were all covered up. The staff of this firm was really friendly and are really helpful. I was helped with the medical process and then later on, they kept me in the loop about the status of my case. I did not worry as I was confident they will take care of all the formalities. Whenever I called them, the staff was very courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend the services of Stephanie Ovadia law firm to anyone who is looking for a good personal injury lawyer. I am forever grateful that I hired the services of this firm. Highly recommended!!

Before I found Gencian Gjoni, my case was dropped from my previous attorney. One day at work I found out about Gencian and decided to submit an online inquiry. During my initial consultation, Gencian thoroughly explained to me that my case wouldn't be easy, but he will do everything possible to get me what I deserved. In conclusion, I will definitely recommend Gencian, he exceeded my expectations and settled with an amount that we both thought I deserved.

Ben has been an invaluable resource in helping me craft my organization's cannabis and hemp policy strategy. He is thorough, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable of the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. Additionally, he is well connected to the regulators and legislators who are crucial to the cannabis policy reform movement, and was instrumental in securing us face-to-face meetings with high-level, decision-making officials. From my personal experience, Ben's background as an educator has made an advantageous impact on his counseling style-- patiently fleshing out various legal/policy issues; translating complex legalese into plain English; and making sure that I'd grasp and understand very nuanced concepts, much like a teacher to a student--far more empowering than someone providing mere legal advice. This sets his practice apart from many other so-called cannabis law "experts" out there, and is the reason why Ben is my go-to cannabis counsel.

Perhaps not the most common words used to describe many attorneys, but they do encapsulate my experience working with Ben Rajotte. Ben worked for an organization that my company provided services for, and I was always impressed with his sense of calm during a very tumultuous time, and the fair and compassionate way in which he carried out his work.

One day, my life changed while I was driving on the expressway and I was hit by an unlicensed driver at a high rate of speed. Immediately I felt pain and after the shock wore off I was lucky enough to find a lawyer named Mr. Gennarelli (Scott) that very same day. He held my hand from the beginning and really guided me through a scary experience. Scott is more than a lawyer, he truly cares about me as a person and not just another case. He is someone I could always speak to when I had a question and his staff is very kind and always sent whatever paperwork needed to be submitted immediately to the insurance companies. Scott was able to settle my case extremely quickly and for the maximum amount (which is practically unheard of in auto accident cases I have heard of in the past). Scott really treated me like a friend and explained all of the processes to me and really fought for me. He went above and beyond and I cannot thank him enough for changing my life. He was always honest and reliable and made me feel like I was his top priority even though he is very busy fighting for others just like me. Scott and his office took care of EVERYTHING for me and I am forever grateful to him for guiding me through a very stressful experience. I have already passed his name along to friends and family and to anyone that needs a personal injury attorney, Mr. Gennarelli is the best choice!

I actually met Mr Gennarelli on this website seeking advice. I made the best decision of my life to fire my original attory and hire Scott. The man is a diamond. He is so easy to speak to, does not speak in circles and confuse you like most lawyers. He is very calm, I strive to be as calm as he is. He gives brilliant advice. He is very trustworthy and honest. I highly recommend Mr. Gennarelli to everyone I know that needs a lawyer.

The only thing absolutely clear about our case was the injury, but Rob had to determine who was responsible among several entities. Through years of depositions and research, Rob narrowed the list to one and negotiated a substantial payment that exceeded our expectations. Rob persevered through a constantly changing cast of opposing attorneys (plus the pandemic). Several times we gave up hope but Rob never did, turning dead-ends into detours that led to our destination. And he was a pleasure to work with!

Mr. Erlanger took on my case at a point when it was as he described it a "mess." I had prior counsel who were only in it for the quick settlement. Claims had been allowed to expire and the clock was running out and i found him. He was very honest from the beginning in his assessment of my case and I have since learned that it's best to have a lawyer give you the most honest assessment of your case than the one you may want to hear. He did that. There were challenges and there still are but I can honestly say that he has been a powerful advocate even when he was going up against a colleague of his. He's brilliant, knows the law inside and out and is a fair and decent man. When I was in the hospital for something unrelated to my case he was emailing me to inquire as to my doctor, my treatment, etc. He didn't need to do that. I had some pretty awful lawyers who had big firms and made all sorts of promises but now I can appreciate that in the end integrity and decency and ability to tell you the tough truth is so much more important. I highly recommend Mr. Erlanger and I know I haven't been the easiest client. I hope he knows how much I value his representation.

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.
