Atty Alexander was extremely professional and compassionate in dealing with our legal matters. In fact, my husband and I thought he did such a thorough job with our case that we retained him for a second case shortly after the first was finished. I would highly recommend him to friends and family should they find themselves in need of legal representation.

I was skeptical at hiring a law firm following a car accident. I'd never believed in "personal injury" lawyers, in fact, I spoke with 3 other law firms prior to hiring Harris Personal Injury Law Firm. Frankly, it was the best decision I've ever made and I have a whole new respect for this profession. From the consultation with Jeff, to the many phone calls with Isabel, and finally to talking with Derek, I was treated with kindness, understanding and consideration. At the conclusion of my case (2 years), Derek patiently explained how the insurance claim would be handled, thru his expertise he was able to reduce my medical bills and what I thought was an impossible situation turned out to be blessing. There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for the care I received from Isabel and Derek, they lifted me up and helped me through a very difficult time in my life due to a car accident. I would highly recommend Derek and Harris Law Firm.

I found Derek to be engaging and honest from the moment he began representing my interests. He was responsive and direct in answering any and all questions i had about my case. This is what i would expect from a very good lawyer. Derek ended up exceeding my expectations in resolving my case. I do not have a lot of experience to judge what qualities a great lawyer would have, but i would happily endorse Derek's capabilities in that regard.

Got into a bicycle vs car mishap resulting in a few nights in the ICU thus hospital bills mounted in the low 6 figures. Shopping around for legal counsel led me to attorney and fellow cyclist Richard Duquette who was highly recommended in the local cycling community. Duquette's cohesive team worked hard on my behalf and his generational experience helped navigate and apply aggressive negotiations with the respective parties. His firm was able to get me the maximum recovery so I could recover without the added stress of paying hospital bills over the next decade. Very personable team, would highly recommend.

I called the law offices this afternoon and left a message requesting advice about a family member’s DUI from 20 years ago. Not only did Richard call me back himself within 15 minutes, but he gave me free legal advice with a path forward since the event happened out of state. He practices in CA not NYS. He was extremely knowledgeable, assessed the situation quickly, and gave sound advice. He suggested I complete a google search with specific criteria, which confirmed his advice was on point, and now we are on our way to a resolution! Thanks again. We will definitely be calling this office if we ever need an attorney in the future.

I was going through a divorce and child custody when i found Michael Fischer online. After speaking to several lawyers Michael was very professional and listen to me with my problems. I went to him because while pregnant I had made the huge mistake when I went to child custody court and letting my ex husband take our baby when he turned 10 months to PA different state. I knew I made a huge mistake leaving court that day so when I went back to court to tell the judge I was going trough postpartum depression and I wasn’t thinking straight I was taking medication for depression the judge refuse to acknowledge anything I told him. That’s when Michael came to the rescue taking my case. It took us a little bit but we were able to prove that my son being so young and sick with asthma could not go for that long to another state without his mother. Michael gave me back that peace of mind I had lost and we won the case. After that I also got him to do my divorce that took more time because my ex was making it hard for me. Michael again was able to talk to my ex and finalize are divorce this August. I’m a middle class person I live check by check for the most part. I was able to stay with my condo. Michael has reasonable prices and you pay monthly so that helped me a lot. Some lawyers want 10k up front. I would recommend Michael to anyone that is in need of a good lawyer specially when it comes to fighting for your kids.

I reached out to Suzanne Skolnick regarding my legal situation, and although she was unable to take my case, I was incredibly impressed by her kindness and professionalism.

I truly appreciate her help and, should I need legal assistance in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out to her again. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking legal counsel!

Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, Inc., provided me the best outstanding, professional, customer, service, support that exceeded all of my expectations.
John Clayton from day 1 made me comfortable, and confident that he had my best interest to maximize my case and he delivered on the spot with his guidance. John Claytons experience, knowledge, and dependability ensured me that I can count on towards my direction.
This whole process was smooth and stress free because I knew with his level of commitment to me he provided each and every single interaction that I was informed with all questions asked, addressed, and answered.
In addition, his team with Kasey Serrato kept outstanding communications and follow-ups that really helped me out with required tasks to complete.
I highly recommend Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, Inc. to anyone looking for the best team not just in the state of California, but perhaps in the Nation, because of professionalism provided for my best interest at all times by putting me first.

I had my totally free consultation today with Mr Palmer. Great experience, explained all the in, outs and cost of what we might experience in an attempt to secure a restraining order against my ex. He very easily could have taken my money and started what could be a very long and costly process. Instead he advised we wait and see how things go and if need be to call him back and he would be more than willing to help. Very professional and calming attorney, very grateful for his advise. If the need arises, I will for sure call Mr Palmer back!

We engaged Palmer Rodak & Associates to mediate our divorce. We were able to come to an agreement in one full day of mediation (about as good as one could hope for). I think that Mathew and Layla did a solid job w/ that part.
However, what would follow that agreement was much harder than I anticipated. The real rock stars here are the paralegals that help you to the finish line. Especially Ashley who guided us through the cumbersome process, dealing with the courts (to save me time), and quickly responding to inquiries and (only) escalating when necessary (for cost savings), etc.
I would recommend Palmer Rodak & Associates for your mediation needs.

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.
