My siblings and I had the pleasure of working with James Thiessen with our parents estate and subsequent probate.
Not only did he provide excellent service but he maintained regular contact and answered all of our questions throughout the process. I felt confident with his handling of our case and his legal expertise.
I would highly recommend this office for any probate and/or estate needs.

I was a passenger in an auto accident where I sustained a pretty serious injury. I knew my case would be anything but simple, so I did a bit of research looking for the right attorney when I came across Marcus Mears at the Cunningham and Mears law firm. I want to start by saying everyone in the office is very polite, very friendly, and very professional. however, Marcus took my case and went above and beyond with it. He was very upfront and honest when reaching out and keeping me informed about everything in my case. In the end, my case was settled and I received more money back than I had initially expected. I highly recommend Marcus, he is the guy to get the job done.

Jacob Rowe is an outstanding Attorney. He has believed in me from the start and has represented me to the fullest. With his hard work and the dedication of Kera and the rest of the team at The Fulmer Group, my life wouldn't be where it is today. After a grueling two years, they have taken away my burden of the unknown - they have given me my life back. My family and I deeply thank Jacob, Kera and The Fulmer Group from the bottom of our hearts. I highly recommend them for any legal action as they are a hard working team that cares and treats you like family.

Several times in this case when my feelings and emotions wanted to take over Jacob put things in perspective, he calmed my nerves. He gave great advice about the present situation, and future situations to come. He was very fair, and not just about the money. Jacob is hands down the best attorney I've worked with, and I've worked with several in different situations.

Jacob was always very compassionate. He understood the hardship of divorce and was always sensitive to the details. He was keen to listen and connect at an individual level. He was always kind and took the time to listen. That alone means a lot to a person whose life is being turned upside down!

I will definitely use Compton Law for future legal needs.

We are deeply grateful for the wise counsel, encouragement and support we received from attorney Doug Terry over the course of our bad faith insurance lawsuit. Doug is an exceptional individual with compassion for others, seeking justice with integrity for those in need. He is more than a super attorney. We consider ourselves indeed fortunate, but more so blessed, to have had an individual of his extraordinary talent and high caliber stand with us in this fight against the insurance company. It was a journey and experience we will not forget. We never would have achieved the measure of justice we did without Doug’s expertise. Doug is the best at what he does, and we would recommend him, without hesitation, to anyone in a similar situation!

I have in my lifetime on occassion had to hire an attorney. I hired Allan Grubb and have used him as my family attorney for apprx 15 years. Understanding how the court system works can be overwhelming. Having an attorney like Allan was helpful to me. He was straight forth and explained everything and did get the outcome I wanted. He returned my calls and always made me feel like he appreciated my business. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a good attorney. If ever the need arises again he would be my choice as my attorney.

Mr. Adams is a consummate professional with equal parts integrity and vigor, never stopping until he achieves victory. His skills in and out of the Courtroom are unmatched in his profession. When faced with the awesome power of government, there is only one choice to advocate for your cause. There is no greater asset to the legal profession I have met in my nearly 50 years! I cannot say enough to express my appreciation, gratitude and honor having the Kevin Adams defense. Look no further you need no other advocate, he is a one man army, producing far better results than a dozen attorneys.

My name is khupmin . I was accused of sexual battery at a car dealership where I used to work in March of 2012. I am a father of two kids . I am also a foreigner from north east India , living in the great nation of the United States of America with a green card . My life came tumbling down after sexual battery accusation . Since its a felony , I can be deported if convicted . That means can't live in the United States with my family . No more American dreams . I hired a lawyer but was not quite confident about his competency so , I research online a bit more and that's when I came across Mr Kevin Adams ( attorney at law ) I read testimonials of some of his previous trials winning accomplishment and I was convince right there that I found the right attorney that will have the balls to fight for me and above all , WIN !! The case . That's when I approached him to be my attorney . Today , on the 14 th September 2016 , about 4 years later , I was acquitted of sexual battery , a felony , all because of the hard work , tedious preparation , a genius in cross examination, of Mr Kevin Adams ( attorney at law ) . Today , I am a free man , all because of him. I am not being paid to say great things about him . This is my first hand experience , of working with him. If you ever need an attorney for any damn thing in this society , you ought to call Mr Kevin Adams immediately , period . He will get you the best outcome or results for your circumstances or situation . Trust me , you owe it to yourself . Can't thank you enough! Kevin , for all you have done for me and my family . May god bless you abundantly !!!

Kevin Adams has earned my respect not only as a very good attorney but also my friend who has represented me in not only a civil case involving millions of dollars, but as well has represented me in another case where my life was on the line. He never quit believing in my innocence and fought for me all the way. The verdict was NOT GUILTY on all counts. I truly am grateful to him for his professional tenacity and his zeal to fight for his client. He is the only attorney I trust without question. Thanksgiving is a special day or me for I know without Kevin Adams I wouldn't be able to spend it with my family. Highly recommended.

Jeff helped me file my past tax return and as a result I was able to avoid further penalties. Not only was he instrumental in mitigating penalties, he was able to set up a payment plan that I could manage. If you want a tax attorney who can deliver results, I recommend Jeff Trevillion.

I was in so deep with IRS by the time I reached out to Mr. Jeff Trevillion that I was a wreck. I thought I could handle the situation but they were pretty brutal. I met with Mr. Trevillion and by the time I left his office I knew I was in good hands. He is a fighter and he knows how to win. Do not try to handle IRS on your own and do not throw your money away with the hungry lawyers on tv and mail ads....call Mr. Trevillion and get some sleep!

Mr. Trevillion is AMAZING! Before he took my case, I literally thought I would never get beyond the dreaded past taxes left to me from my ex-husband. I was constantly carrying around that burden. Mr. Trevillion jumped into my case and battled the IRS and got me right out of the hole with them! I absolutely could have not asked for better representation! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!

I live out of the country and my Tulsa based parents needed Wills prepared. After speaking to Mr. Powers and his staff on the phone, I had my parents meet with him. They were made to feel heard, comfortable and they were treated honestly and fairly as their wills were prepared. My parents called me when all was completed to tell me how impressed they were. Highly recommend!

Bruce Powers and his staff handled the probate for my mother’s estate. I was the personal representative and lived out of state. To make matters more difficult, this all occurred when COVID initially shut everything down, so the courts weren’t meeting in person and everything progressed at a snail’s pace. I am so thankful for Mr. Powers and his legal assistant, Delsea. They guided me through this long and difficult process, professionally and compassionately. I could not have asked for a better experience through this difficult process.

I hired Tony Edwards to represent me in a case for a car accident. I was very impressed with the first class service that I have received from Mr. Edwards and his team. Every time something comes up, the solution from Mr. Edwards is always swift and professional. No waiting around for days, or sometimes weeks at a time, as I have dealt with in the past with other attorneys. He has no problem picking up the phone to talk to me if it is necessary. Even when not dealing with Tony directly, his team is very knowledgeable and kind. I would absolutely recommend hiring Tony Edwards to represent you in any instance, and I know I will recommend him to my friends and family, as well as anyone else needing legal assistance.
I am extremely happy with everything Tony Edwards has done for me, and I will be using him in the future again.

Mr. Edwards was able to get all of my medical bills and vehicle bills covered and did so quickly. Anyone who has had to deal with an insurance company know that how difficult of a task that is. He was able to make a frustrating situation so much easier. Very pleased.

I live out of state and contacted Zach when I was pulled into a civil matter in Oklahoma. I highly recommend his services. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and patient when explaining the law and your options. After getting me dismissed, Zach continued to protect my interests while the lawsuit moved forward without me as a defendant. His communication was spot on - if he didn't pick up on my first call I would always hear back from him the same day. Despite me being several states away, Zach resolved everything without me having to travel to Oklahoma. I'm very happy with his work, you want Zach on your side.

We hired Zach to represent us through a negligent construction case on a residential build. Zach demonstrated a thorough understanding of the legal complexities involved with the case. He was always kind, professional and knowledgeable. He always took the time to explain the legal process and the implications of each decision, which made us feel confident and informed throughout the case. We could not have made it through this process without Zach and his dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to our best interests. After 3 years of legal process, Zach became like a family friend, which is indicative of his commitment in striving for best case scenario for his clients. We would highly recommend Zach to anyone in need of a skilled and committed litigator.

I have a very complicated, crazy case. Many attorney's wouldn't even listen to me when trying to explain about my case. Zach however was different he listened and was conserned. He was willing to take my case head on without hesitation. The complexity and craziness didn't deter him like others in fact I think it drove him even more to want to help. I am so glad I hired such a caring and compassionate attorney to help put my 15 year nightmare behind me. Zach also does additional research on things to make sure he is well prepared to give his clients the advantage in the situation they are facing.

After nearly a year of having no luck with insurance company. We hired Jason to deal with our minor child's, not at fault car accident in which he had another minor passenger. He took both kids cases in dealing with the at faults, non responsive insurance company.
Everything was handled in a timely, professional, confidential manner. He explained to the kids what his objective was, handled their questioning with ease & respect & explained the process. When it came time for court.... he eased their nerves w/again explaining the process.. they knew what to expect so it made their "day in court" easier.
The sitting judge also paid a compliment to Jason at the end of the hearing which helped assure us, we had made the right decision in counsel.
We were extremely please with the time frame & professionalism in which our case was handled.

Adam has been a trusted legal consultant for me Professionally over the past 10+ years and helped with my personal legal affairs over the same period.

I can highly recommend Adam for your immediate or ongoing needs.

Adam has helped me in a number of situations. In some cases it was just procedural, such as helping to properly setup a trust account, but in another case I had a long time (multi-year) issue with a collections company that was wrongly claiming that I had a debt and was unwilling to work to resolve it. After Adam got involved, he was able to quickly show the collection company the "error of their ways" and they dropped their efforts and removed all references on my credit reports. You can be sure that Adam will provide you with solid advice but he won't sugar coat anything either. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Elliott was recommended to me by my boss and since day 1 he helped me with everything that I needed. I never had to go to trial or even see another lawyer because Mr. Elliot handled everything and called me with updates as they became available.

Very, Very helpful. He understood our situation, explained the law, and the process we would have to go through. Based on the facts we gave him during our communications, he helped us see that filing suit would have been a waste of time and money and likely result in little, if any return at all. Best to you and thank you Sir.

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.
