Mary Higgins and the Law Firm is very organized and well put together. They were so helpful to me when I brought them my case last minute. They worked extremely hard to ensure that I had a understanding of what was going on with my case and what needed to be done in order to settle my case. I only had 4 months to resolve my settlement case and I was settled before my deadline. I would absolutely encourage everyone to go to this law firm if they are in need of help. I want to give a Huge! THANKS!! to this Mary Higgins, Mary Detweiler, and the staff at this firm.

Jon is representing me for my Workers Comp claim. I am by far not easy to work with. Jon takes the time to listen to me and let me whine about my problems. He has not only worked odd hours for me but has guided me on many issues and fought tooth and nail for me. Not many clients can say that they consider their attorney a friend. My family and I are grateful to have Jon representing me.

When my husband and I first met with Larry Kimmel. We over my case and he explained that It was a difficult case but he would work with us to make sure that all our concerns would be addressed and bills be paid.
We had some bumps in the road but my opinion we still came out on top. He did what he said he would do and we appreciated everything that he had done on our behalf.

I understand that legal cases can take time, and you never fully know what’s happening on the other end, but communication is really important to me. I also recognize that employees are human, and it’s impossible to control everyone’s actions perfectly. While there have been some bumps in communication with a few employees at the firm, I truly appreciate how the manager handled the situation. She took full accountability, apologized for the lapses, and made sure to explain everything to me in detail. It’s refreshing to see someone in a leadership role take ownership and show genuine concern for the client experience. Good communication will always drive the client experience. I wanted to be able to leave a good review after everything was settled. Glad I was able to. Thank you.

Just recently used Castro law firm for a child custody/support case. Coming into this was extremely nerve wracking and terrifying as a father but I felt comfort knowing I had Castro law firm on my side.
From the first phone call with Tabatha I immediately knew she had the experience and the skills needed to succeed here.
Throughout the case Tabatha and her team had a complete open line of communication and promptly returned calls or emails for questions and concerns. Moving through the court process her team kept in touch with me throughout every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a fierce, experienced and trustworthy law firm look no further. I’ll happily use them again and couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you Tabatha and your team for fighting tooth and nail for my rights as a father.

HEATHER LONG formerly from the KCRP&O firm….
THROUGHOUT THIS (2019-2022) BATTLE, Heather Long, my legal representative called me a liar the entire time, even with medical evidence of substantial damage. Heather and her team wore me out just as much as the defense. Also, just before settling, I WAS ENLIGHTENED BY HEATHER, THAT WORKERS COMPENSATION ATTORNEYS GET PAID FROM DOL, SO DO NOT EXPECT TO FILE A CLAIM AGAINST DOL OR OSHA THROUGH A WORK COMP CLAIM. I believe Heather Long protects the DOL and the De. corporations. I also believe Heather and the defense attorney, Andrew Carmine, were negotiating my case to benefit themselves and DOL, not to benefit the now permanently disabled client (me), that suffered lifelong damages from an incident at Alutech United,Inc.(a Delaware corporation).
Upon settlement of a 3yrs battle, I was encouraged by Heather and her team to sign papers that stated that the defense/corporation accepts no responsibility of the injuries that were proven by highly qualified medical expert opinion to be suffered from the (2018)incident. They also put some of my total settlement in a MSA (Medicare set-aside account) that was supposed to be for future treatment, and the account holders will not consent to the recommended treatment. That was $26,000. that was taken from my settlement that I’ll probably never see or be permitted to use. Now SSA(your tax $) is paying me a monthly salary that I used to make in 5days. My case should’ve went to the Supreme Court but Heather Long said that Workers Compensation does not go further than the DOL’s Industrial Accident Board, which I learned recently is a flat out lie!!! I had legal grounds to sue OSHA(derelict of duty), the DOL(derelict of duty), and the Alutech United,Inc. corporation(Permanent physical damages/Perjury, etc.) but with Heather Long, I could only pursue my lawsuit against Genex Westfield Insurance, Alutech United Inc.’s policyholder.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND A DIFFERENT LAWYER AND PLEASE NOTE THAT MOST OF THE DELAWARE LAW FIRMS PROTECT EACH OTHER SO IF YOUR CASE IS IN DELAWARE, FIND A ‘PITBULL’ ATTORNEY IN ANOTHER STATE THAT IS DEL. WORK. COMP. CERTIFIED!! I know this because when I would call another attorney for a second opinion on my concerns, that attorney would call Heather and let her know I was asking questions.
Good Luck and God Bless!!!
And GOOD LUCK suing me for this review, LOL, it’s all true so you can’t.

Heather did a great job helping me with my car accident. She was able to negotiate with the insurance companies and get me a settlement that helped me get out from the financial burden the accident had caused in the first place. I highly recommend calling Heather if you are in the same situation as me.

Heather is simply an amazing lawyer!! My accident left me with a brain injury. I knew I needed help. I struggled talking, my eyes were super sensitive to light and noises were a struggle to deal with. On the first day, her words of confidence that she would take care of all the medical bills and that I just needed to focus on healing were words of an angel. She was excellent with literally everything. A good listener, a good communicator, always kept me in the loop. Then with all the legal stuff, well, just amazing how well she took care of me. It was the worst year of my life due to the accident, but Heather was strong in my corner at a time I needed it the most!! I HIGHLY recommend her!!

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.
