Kyle was my lawyer for my late fathers estate, and he was incredible for sure. Kyle went above and beyond his job to make sure that my sisters and I were informed on any and everything that we needed to know about our fathers estate. Kyle went above and beyond what he was suppose to do for us as an attorney. His PA Barb was just as amazing as he was getting to the bottom of anything we had to ask. I was very very pleased in the results of everything that they have done and did for my family. Would I recommend him YES I would they are one hell of a team they have there at there law firm. I honestly would not have gotten trough all this without him or his staff. They are TOP NOTCH. I contacted 6 different attorneys on my fathers case and he is the ONLY one that returned my call and I was blessed to have worked with him.

I was referred to Fiedler Law by another law professional and I was contacted within a couple hours of doing my web submission. Tom got me in quickly and instantly made me feel heard, in a time where I was at a very high-stress point. He was kind and knowledgeable, not mention resolved my issue with a better outcome than anticipated. I never was left wondering about an update, he personally updated me throughout and responded so quickly. I am thankful and appreciative and can't recommend his services enough!
His office is also warm and inviting- the front office staff was also friendly and responsive (and there is a precious friendly dog that will greet you, if you're into it).

I’m very lucky to have found this law firm. I’ve had big problems for a few years with the trustee of a trust I’m a beneficiary of, and if it wasn’t for my attorneys, Trent Reinert and Erin Robak, everything could’ve gone very differently. Their integrity, expertise, and tenaciousness saved the day more than once.
They are respectful, I feel like they actually care about me and my situation, and they don’t have to do that. I’ve dealt with three different terrible trust attorneys in Omaha over the last 5 years so it is refreshing and comforting to have two excellent attorneys on my side for the last six months while the trust is being distributed and closed soon. I will keep them as my attorneys.
I highly recommend these two for any trust work or litigation you need. Trent deals with trusts and accounting, and Erin is on the litigation side. They are truly top attorneys in Omaha.
They don’t try to overcharge you, in fact, they are incredibly conscientious about doing what is right for you, even trying to get you to not litigate if it’s not going to be to your greatest advantage. They are not trying to just take all of your money they can get. They are honest people; a rare attribute not found in many Omaha attorneys these days. I cannot recommend them enough, sincerely.

I was injured in an accident by an impaired driver which was quite overwhelming for me, since I sustained a fracture in my spine and my car was totalled. There was quite a lot to get through, all the while dealing with my physical injuries, pain, surgery, insurance paperwork, etc. Danny Leavitt was very instrumental in helping me navigate through this whole process and was able to get my case with both car insurances settled without going through a court trial. I will always be grateful for all the help I received from Salerno and Leavitt law office during a very stressful time in my life. I sincerely hope no one sustain injury like happened to me, but in the unfortunate occasion you do, you can feel confident in reaching out to Danny Leavitt for honest, professional & thorough help with your personal injury case.

At first, was hard to trust any lawyer had ‘your’ best interest at heart. But, Danny soon proved that he genuinely cared not just about winning a case for me, but my actual health and recovery. I felt a rare genuineness, good advice and respect for me. I hope I never need them again, but if I, this is the place to go. I’m at the end of my long 2 year journey and I’m happy about the results from
Salerno & Leavitt!

I highly recommend this firm. I spent quite a while attempting to complete the application on my own, but eventually gave up. I contacted a few firms, but Cavanaugh was the only one with both immediate availability and a willingness to help with the initial disability application. Turning it over to Cavanaugh Law Firm was a huge relief, as I was really stressed about the application.
I had numerous questions throughout the process, but neither Kathleen Smith nor Mary Kellogg ever sounded annoyed, which I truly appreciated. The application process went extremely smoothly and was surprisingly quick. They kept me updated every step of the way, and I have absolutely no regrets about choosing Cavanaugh.

Cavanaugh Law Firm
Patrick Cavanaugh, Kathleen Smith did a wonderful job with my case. In fact, I'd say it was above and beyond wonderful. I am exceptionally pleased. Kathleen Smith especially as she worked all the details. She was very dedicated to helping me through the entire enrollment process. She gave great advice and guidance for filling out forms required, handled and followed up with the Social Security Administration. She returned my emails and answered my questions quickly. All this got me my benefit so fast. I was like WOW! Literally, within a month I received my benefit and within another month, received approval for my disability benefit. I have no doubt that without their help, I would still be waiting for my benefit not to mention the frustration with going at it by myself. I highly recommend the Cavanaugh Law Firm. If you're thinking about asking for help DO IT WITH THEM!

Case was a slam dunk, would've won the trial hands down. Charged 1,900$ upfront, was told it would cover everything but the trial. Pre trial plea bargain was basically no jail time and all the charges go away a year later, he told me i wouldn't be charged for the set aside that's written into the court order. Today, after the year has passed, i am being told it's another 750$ to do the set aside?? Scummy.. very scummy. Possibly a mistake due to a high work load, but this is not a new case and the services were already paid for upfront. It's like they forgot about their own word entirely, and now they are not interested in upholding the court order from the judge (set aside was written into the court order by the judge)

Mark helped me with a family law case and he did not fall short. He was reliable, cordial, set proper expectations, and gave it to me straight, the entire time. I truly appreciated working alongside someone whom was humble, immersive and truly team-inclusive.
For those who think it's a losing and biased battle for the kiddos; Mark and Krista will set you straight.
Thank you again Mark for everything, and the success achieved.

From the beginning, Mr. Hoffman inspired confidence. I know professional pride when I see it. That confidence turned out to be justified. Frankly, I did not expect a good outcome when my case started. In dealing with a contentious divorce that I did not want, and having never been to court in my life, Ryan kept me focused on the things that mattered. He was methodical and persistent, and I ended up with a very satisfactory judgement. Rates were reasonable.

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.
