Mo took my initial call close to midnight at a time of despair and anxiety. From there on I was in hands of a top notch professional who promised and delivered 100% result in the exact timeframe that was discussed. I honestly highly recommend Mo to anyone who needs a strong defense and a definite victory, because that’s exactly what I got.

I called Barrios & Machado one year after my car accident. I was getting nowhere with the insurance companies and I knew it was time to consult a lawyer. It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The lawyer, Guillermo Machado called me back within the hour. He started by telling me that the call was free and he would not pressure me into anything. He would listen and then offer whatever words of advice or encouragement he could, which is exactly what he did. He told me he was a Christian lawyer, which was good know as I am a Christian woman. He spent over an hour with me on the phone. He set my mind at ease about many things including my concerns, and about the lawyers I had already consulted with. He told me he wouldn’t take my case, not because he didn’t want to but because he was unable to take it on, as he does a different type of case now. He told me about the other two lawyers I spoke to recently and that they were both excellent and that I would be in great hands with either. It’s refreshing to talk to a lawyer, who doesn’t have a hidden agenda. I could tell he was genuine and honest. He took over an hour of his holiday weekend to help me. Thank you Guillermo, and may God bless you.

I contacted Mr. Ralph to consult about a possible medical malpractice claim. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about both the subject and realities of what's involved in such a claim. He spent a good deal of time with me on the phone discussing nuances and other details.

Santiago and his team are OUTSTANDING!!! I was
involved in a pretty serious car crash and managed to
rack up a rather large hospital bill for something that was
not my fault and out of my control! Fast forward to
closing the case, I got to walk away with pretty check
and DEBT FREE!! Him and his team work fast, are
professional, empathetic, respectful, and truly care about
you as a human!! I genuinely don't know what the
outcome would have been if it wasn't for him! Thank you

When you realize you need legal support; it feels really intimidating. From the very first conversation I had with Kiran – I felt at ease and in great care. Kiran is direct, strong, professional and she makes the process feel way less scary. In preparing for trial, and in experiencing trial for the first time in my life, I felt covered and supported with Kiran in my corner. She prepared and presented our case with clear intention, and she knows how to be heard. She was prompt in responding, on-time to scheduled meetings and early to trial dates, prepared, organized and concise in her delivery. The outcome of my case landed right where I hoped it would. I don’t hope to need representation again, and yet myself and everyone in my circle know where to go if we do. If you are wondering if Kiran is the right representation for your case, I would share that in the time we worked together I never questioned my choice.

Choosing the right lawyer when dealing with a difficult legal matter can be stressful. Our family needed legal representation for a complex domestic violence restraining order. We could not have made a better decision going with Kiran Bisla. Through the two month process and 5 days in court Mrs. Bisla consistently remained professional and was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. She was always on time, reliable, had great strategies and was thorough yet succinct with her research and witness interviews. She compassionately guided us through the entire process and was a force to be reckoned with in the court room. Mrs. Bisla helped us get every part of our restraining order granted and we will be continuing to use her for the divorce case as well as for any other legal representation in the future. She went above and beyond and is an incredibly caring, intelligent, and strong willed woman that we were glad to have fighting for us.

Kiran was hired to help my mother-in-law with a restraining order and divorce against her soon to be ex-husband. When he decided to put out restraining orders against myself, my husband, and my mother in law as a way to have leverage in their soon to be divorce, Kiran was there for us. This process felt like a nightmare in the beginning, but Kiran's intelligence and consistent due diligence helped ease our fears & anxiety. She was always prepared for court, and a constant professional. We ended up winning 100%. She was our rock through these turbulent times. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

We were referred to Christopher by a friend to handle our comprehensive estate planning and asset protection of our commercial assets. The level of service and professionalism displayed by Christopher and his office was second to none. He was very precise with his explanations and was sensitive to certain pieces of the estate planning which at times, was difficult for our family to decide. We originally employed his firm for the estate planning but after working with Christopher we decide to use his firm for multiple legal needs including asset protection, corporation creation, and additional estate planning for multiple family members. I would definitely refer Christopher to anyone seeking legal assistance or advice. It has been a pleasure for our family to work with Christopher and we are confident that he will be taking care of our legal needs for many years to come. Thank You.

Christopher Andal at Andal Law Group is extremely professional and I felt at ease from the moment I met him. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. The scope of work was consulting and negotiation of new franchise venture. He walked me through the steps of franchising my startup, answered every question I had (and believe me there were many), and always kept my priorities in mind. I especially appreciated his direct and efficient communication because time is money and how he responded to my urgent matters in a calm and collected manner. I would recommend Christopher to any startup. He is very knowledgeable and is a real expert in his field, who will set you up for success.

I was referred to Megan by a friend and thank goodness I was. She was professional and knew exactly how to handle my situation. I was kept in constant contact and informed regularly (both by phone, text, and email) on what was going on and she resolved my case in less than half the time other lawyers told me it would take. The best part was that she was able to work with my budget and even gave me some flexible options and charged less than other attorneys quoted.
I will definitely recommend Megan and the whole team at Lencek, Pourfallah, & Associates to anyone I know.

Patrick has been representing me for about almost a year now. Before Patrick I tried representing myself and I made a huge mess out of my case and it seemed like it was almost impossible for anything good to come out of it. Patrick has been there for every hearing and it wasn’t cheap and it wasn’t easy but I now have the most amount of time I have ever had with my son. I know that with time I will be able to achieve my goals with my son, even though the odds are stacked against me Patrick has been there every step of the way and has gave me hope that we will beat all odds. Martha is extremely helpful and I’m very thankful for her, I don’t understand any of the paperwork and she breaks it down for me and is extremely patient. I highly recommend Patrick, he will fight for you and get the job done. A huge thank you to Patrick and Martha.

I cannot thank Patrick O'Kennedy and Martha Solorio enough for their incredible dedication and expertise in helping me gain custody of my child. From the very first consultation, Patrick demonstrated unparalleled knowledge of family law and a genuine commitment to my case. They fought tirelessly for my rights as a parent and always had my child's best interests at heart.
Martha was equally amazing, providing constant support and ensuring I stayed informed and prepared throughout the process. Their organization, kindness, and professionalism made a difficult time so much easier to navigate.
Thanks to this amazing team, my family is whole again. If you're looking for a compassionate and highly skilled child custody lawyer, look no further than Patrick and Martha. They are truly the best!

The team at Gale and Vallance have been a great asset in developing our business structure, Transitions2Practice, an entity that assists post doctoral/certified graduate students with establishing their own practice after graduation. This is the second corporation that they have started for us and as with the first, all questions were answered and all documents were provided and checked for accuracy. The whole legal team is definitely on their "A" game and were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. We would definitely recommend this organization.

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.
