My family & I were involved in a car accident that was not our fault. We learned the at fault driver was underinsured, which was very stressful. As the medical bills began pouring in we decided to hire Brian G Miller Law to assist us in navigating the medical bills and out of pocket expenses. We worked with Adam Slone and could not have asked for a better experience. Once we asked the firm for help, Adam and Stacey immediately took the burden off our hands. They immediately began communicating with both parties auto insurance companies as well as our medical insurance. Having someone to take this burden off your shoulders as you are trying to recover from surgery was a huge relief. The communication I received from this firm was excellent. I was constantly receiving text, email or phone call updates regarding my case and the next steps. They worked extremely fast and efficiently. Having never been in a situation like this before it was extremely overwhelming to navigate the all of the medical bills, rental car bills, lost wages, etc. on my own. If you find yourself in an unfortunate situation such as this, I would highly recommend hiring Adam to help you navigate. Adam is clearly experienced in this area & excels at representing you!

My son was injured in a car accident in 2023 that required brief hospitalization. Having never been in that position before, our only focus was on his health and recovery. Thankfully, a family acquaintance recommended we consult an attorney and provided us with Brian Miller's information. In all honesty, it was overwhelming as bills started to roll in. After a couple brief conversations and a more formal face-to-face review, it was determined that Brian's Team would take the case. In hindsight, and at the risk of being a little dramatic, that initial referral to Brian is one of the best things that could have come from an unfortunate event. From the very start, the team was patient, personable and transparent. Once the case was underway, we primarily worked with Adam and Stacey. They were both fantastic and made us, my son most importantly, feel like he was almost family. There was never a moment where anything felt forced or that they were going through the motions. My son genuinely felt cared for and has since said that he can't imagine having gone through this with anyone else. When we left their office for the last time, it was bittersweet. These are those people. The ones who truly care about others and enjoy their work, the ones you wish there were more of and the ones who lift your mood simply by being around them. As the case progressed, the team was thorough, always keeping us informed of what was happening, and made sure we understood the information being provided to us. After all was said and done, the team reached a very positive agreement; all of our medical expenses were covered, and, more importantly, my son and his friends fully recovered. I'll close by saying that this group took my son in and fought for him. There were unique challenges they faced and they overcame them all. We felt valued, heard and cared for the entire time. If I ever have a need for any sort of legal advice, Brian's office will be my first call. No question, no hesitation. I can't recommend this group enough and would be happy to speak with anyone about our experience.

John was my saving grace in filing and managing a workers comp. case for me. I was overwhelmed and clueless about how the system worked, and he took the time to sit with me, explain everything and made sure the process went as smoothly as it could. He was always quick to answer/return my calls and made sure we acted quickly enough to meet all deadlines to stay on top of things as we went along. I cannot thank or recommend him enough.

I met Mr. Peller in 2018, I found Ken’s contact online after talking and meeting with several lawyers. When I first met with ken, I felt I finally find the right person. Till today, I have been feeling fortunate and greatful that I found him and made the decision to have him as my attorney. Ken is a great attorney with lots of experience. He truly listened to me, to what I wanted and to what I had concern about then give me his advise. What’s more than that is he also thought from the child’s perspective, sometimes he would just think and talk like a friend of mine, if not an attorney. We would walk through the impact of the case direction to the kid, including what’s several years down the road. Ken has his own law firm, I can get in contact with him directly. Ken replies phone calls as soon as he can If he missed one. And the email exchanges with Ken were also on time and informational. My case involved a young child and last over a year, it was a difficult time especially when the other party was using what he knew about the law telling lies, threatening and harassing me. But I could always get assured from Ken that the other party did not have a stand at all. And it was proven that he was right every time. My case had to go to the court after all. In a nutshell, Ken had prepared me and the case really well, his performance on the court went beyond my expectation. Finally, we won. Property was divided fairly. Most importantly, I got the kind of custody I wanted for my child. I will definitely recommend Ken to the people I know who needs help and advise.

Mr. Peller is my lawyer and helped me through a complex and difficult divorce. He is very calm and professional. He has a lot of experience and knows the important issues. He is a very good listener. He asked the right questions and collected the all the relevant information. When we first met, I was still in the initial emotional stage and he helped me get through this and begin moving towards the logical fact-based issues that needed to be dealt with. He kept me appraised of what my rights were and that there were limits to how much could be taken from me. He easily explained when my spouse was asking for things that would never stand up in court. We did not have to go to court. We ended up doing a dissolution. The finalized divorce was favorable to me and very fair compared to what my spouse wanted. He is a good man and I consider him my friend. I would highly recommend Mr. Peller. He will guide you through a very difficult situation and always give the best advice and protect your interests.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with this attorney, and I would strongly advise against hiring them. Not only did they fail to communicate effectively, but they also showed a complete lack of professionalism that put the case—and safety—at serious risk. This attorney missed deadlines and failed to file critical documents on time, which severely damaged the case. We were left in the dark about the status of the matter, with no updates or clear communication despite repeated requests. This lack of attention to detail and poor organizational skills resulted in missed opportunities and created unnecessary complications. What is most concerning, however, is the level of risk this attorney put us in. Due to their negligence in filing paperwork and missing key deadlines, we were found in a vulnerable position with legal and personal consequences that could have been avoided. It felt as if they were more focused on their own convenience than on the well-being of their clients. In short, this lawyer’s incompetence and disregard for client safety are unforgivable. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you value timely, reliable, and responsible legal representation.

I hired Kayleigh for a case. She was always a phone call away. She even handled my case and finished it during and after a pregnancy. Kayleigh was always in contact with the progress of the case as well. I would highly recommend Kayleigh and her services. She was very easy to work with and also triedto make accommodations if they were necessary.

Jeff has represented us in two different cases, one regarding property damage by movers to our home and one in an employment case involving wrongful termination. In the first he was able to get full payment for the damage caused by the movers and in the second he was able to get a fair settlement that enabled us to move forward with our lives. He is an excellent lawyer -- he listens, he worked tirelessly to help us, and he always kept us up to date on what was happening and what we needed to do. I highly recommend him.

Simon is an excellent lawyer. He helped me in an employment case and I am very happy with the results. Simon is very caring, attentive and knowledgeable. I was impressed with his professionalism and timeliness. He made sure nothing slipped through the cracks and worked hard to get me what I deserved from a former employer. Simon takes the time to get to know his clients and was even available to meet with me on a Saturday. He has a great work ethic and is really working hard for those he serves. I would recommend Simon to friends and family. He's wonderful.

I would like to echo what has been said in the other reviews and add that Hans has the rare combination of being an extremely ethical and personable attorney. His legal skills and knowledge are outstanding but even those are overshadowed by his interpersonal skills. He had the ability to deal with opposing counsel's atrocious behavior and prevent my case from going to trial, but still was able to obtain an advantageous settlement for me. Truly, it is amazing to watch him work. He has an incredible memory and a keen sense of how to handle people in a warm and personable manner. He has a reputation in the court system for being an ethical and courteous person, yet not someone who can be taken advantage of. He is an extremely hard worker, and was able to implement my wishes as much as humanly possible based on my initial and subsequent interviews with him. It was very comforting to have him working on my side during the worst year of my life. I cannot begin to express how thankful I am for his help.

I worked with Hans on my child support case about a year-and-a-half ago. He was a fair, efficient attorney who handled my case well. I appreciated that he took the time to get to know me as well as my family; friends that I have spoke with have noted that other attorneys in their past treated them like they were just a number or paycheck. Hans is a charismatic, quick, and friendly man who happens to be an excellent lawyer. He knows the law and the "books" well. Top notch I believe.

The law firm of Thorson Switala Mondock & Snead LLP is the best - Joe Mondock in particular. He took my son’s case after three other law firms declined – and two of the three chased us down, initially. The end result was that Joe Mondock got my son a decent settlement. The other law firms were too busy, or not interested, saying the injuries weren’t bad enough, the medical bills weren’t high enough ($7300), etc., even though the case had several rock solid aspects to it. My son and his girlfriend borrowed my car and stopped at a red light. A drunk driver slammed into the rear of my car and fled the scene. The drunk sped away with his airbag deployed, his trunk bent up and front end smashed. My son called the cops, and he and his girlfriend (she was driving) chased after the drunk in my damaged car ($6000 damage, in the shop for 100 days) and the drunk driver was apprehended after 7 miles of twists and turns. The drunk driver failed the sobriety test and was taken to jail. It was his 3rd DUI. None of this mattered to the other law firms. For them, it was all about the money, and they said there wasn’t enough money at issue. They told my son to settle it on his own. Of course, the drunk driver’s insurance company offered up “peanuts” when my son tried to settle with them. It was ridiculous. After we pondered the situation for a few months, luckily we saw the Thorson Switala Mondock & Snead television ad where they talk about “Walk-In Wednesday”. So, we met with Joe Mondock without an appointment the next Wednesday, and we discussed the potential case, at length. He said my son deserved more than the crap the drunk’s insurance company was offering. In fact, Mondock wrote up the complaint with an additional angle reflecting the drunk fleeing the scene - extra ammunition. To tell you the truth, at deposition, I don’t think the drunk driver’s attorney quite understood this additional aspect, nor their predicament. Mondock made the case about more than just the money. The defendant’s team understood eventually, when the case was settled for an amount double digits times what they initially offered my son. Bottom line, I give the law firm of Thorson Switala Mondock & Sneed a solid “A”, especially Joe Mondock. He wasn’t afraid to step up to the plate and take a swing, and fight the good fight.

My family has obtained Joseph Mondock for legal services on 3 different occasions, different family members each time. Our choice of him originally started when I was in an auto accident and we contacted his offices for legal services. Mr. Mondock came to our home to get my information as I was in pain due to my injuries. He was very professional and caring and took the time to make sure that I understood everything and answered all questions. Throughout my case he was quick to respond to my calls and questions as well as giving updates so that I always knew what was going on. He worked hard to get me the best settlement possible and make sure all of my bills due to my accident were taken care of. There was little to no work needed on my part as Mr. Mondock handled everything with the insurance and medical bills which removed all the stress of the situation from me and made it possible to just heal and deal with my injuries. My husband ended up in an accident a few years later which was more extensive and time consuming than mine. When we determined that we would need a lawyer, we did not hesitate in contacting Mr. Mondock for his services. He once again provided the same excellent service to the point that he makes you feel as if you are the most important case he has. My husbands recovery and medical care was much longer than mine and Mr. Mondock still took care of all details for this extended time and got us a generous and much appreciated settlement. Recently my son was in an accident due to an uninsured motorist and we immediately contacted Mr. Mondock to get his help in how to handle such a situation. He gave us the straight truth about how to deal with it and did not try to promise that he could do something that might not be possible just to get business. Mr. Mondock once again handled all of the details and worked with our medical insurance as well as our auto insurance for the uninsured motorist claim in order to get the claim handled the best possible way. He was even able to get the medical insurance to accept a lower amount for their reimbursement in order to provide my son with a larger settlement amount. Every time that we have obtained Mr. Mondock he has provided excellent service and has never let us down. We have been completely satisfied with his efforts and would highly recommend his services to anyone. We greatly appreciated all of his hard work and the stress that he removed from us by him handling all aspects and details of our claims.

His knowledge and expertise in malpractice is top notch and I knew from the start I was in the right hands. Not only did we come out victorious in my case, but I am proud to say I am 6+ years clear.

March 2, 2019 To whom it may concern, We are pleased with the opportunity to provide a reference for Paul Perantinides. Our daughter discovered her chances of surviving the type of cancer she had was diminished to zero due to the malpractice of the surgeon. Knowing she was losing the battle my daughter sought the advice of a lawyer. Mr. Perantinides ultimately acquired her case. Our daughter asked Paul to “please not forget about her.” Our daughter lost her battle with cancer in 2011 at the age of 33. During the 18 months from her diagnosis and first surgery until her death she suffered indescribable, horrific, unrelenting pain. She left behind her two girls, age 5 years and 2-1/2 years at that time. Mr. Perantinides remained an advocate for our daughter’s cause. His perseverance in holding the surgeon and facility responsible for their malpractice resulted in a settlement in 2017. Six years after her death. He did not forget about her. Although no amount of money would ever compensate for the death of our daughter, we are grateful to Mr. Perantinides for the settlement. It will help our granddaughters with their future education. So, to reiterate, we are pleased to provide a reference for Paul Perantinides. We are grateful for the years of work he did in holding the parties accountable. Thank you. Toni & Bryan

In our first meeting together, it was obvious that Paul was different from the other attorneys I had sought out. My wife passed away under the care of a local hospital, and I was looking for someone to represent me. He asked me all the right questions and engaged himself clearly showing interest in me and my family. In that first meeting it was obvious that he knew what he was talking about. He was confident about taking on my case. As we moved forward through the coming months, I became convinced that I had chosen the right person for the job. As I was introduced to his staff over time I was extremely impressed with all of them. Paul has set an atmosphere of excellent customer service,always showing respect and care. No questions were left unanswered, no phone calls were left hanging. Paul explained every action through the process, all the pros and cons, ups and downs. All the risks and all the possible out come. At no time did he ever try to tell me something that might have had a hidden agenda. He is an honest man, with integrity, something not always seen in this profession. We settled out of court due to Paul's expertise and resources that led the hospital to ask if we would meet with a third party negotiator. Which we did. I have nothing but good to say about Paul and his staff, and I have recommended him to people, and will continue to .

Joe and his staff were truly instrumental in my case. The countless hours of researching and prep time was invaluable for our win, to say Joe is remarkable would be an understatement. Watching Joe in the courtroom asking pointed questions and demanding the truth was inspiring for me and quite clearly, intimidating for the other party on the stand. Joe went into my case with humility and understanding and a can-do attitude on how we were going to keep momentum moving. Overall, Joe and his staff deserve to be the highest ranked lawyers in the nation. With their clear approach to finding the truth, the hours of reading and researching, legal maneuvering around unexpected issues, winning ideals and promoting the legal rights of their clients, I will always recommend Joe and will forever call Joe a friend.

If you need a family law attorney, i highly recommend speaking with Damon Halverson before seeing other counsel. I recently had a death in the family and my nephews were unjustly taken out of state to a relative who were formerly known child abusers. Even though i never hired him he spent at least an hour and a half of his time and shared his wisdom with me on what i should do. I felt he was very honest and extremely knowledgeable pertaining to my circumstances. Due to not being able to enforce a custody order out of state, Damon at least referred me to someone that he thought could help with the attorney being licensed out of state as well as ohio. Damon also repeatedly said he doesnt want to accept his fee without giving me strong assurance on what he could achieve for me.

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.
