I am so proud to call Jason Paul my lawyer! He kept me up to date on every step of the way in my wrongful death case of my daughter. He checked in with my and my grandson to make sure we were doing ok. He explained everything to me in words I could understand. He talked to and with me not at me. Would advise me and always, always told me it was my decision as to what action I wanted to take. We did not get the whole amount we were asking for but Jason worked extremely hard for me and my grandson, I got some peace that my daughter's death was not in vain and the Florida Hospital ended up paying my grandson for the death of his mother. This case was not about money, as no amount of money will bring my daughter back, but the hospital was negligent and Jason Paul did everything he could to get a settlement for my grandson. If I ever need a lawyer again, I will use Jason Paul and his office associates again. I give them a 10 if it is possible! Thank you Jason and God bless you.

Jason Paul, from our first meeting and through out the legal process was always professional and kind and was always there for me at any time. He and his staff went always answered any questions I may have had and many times Jason would call me after working hours to calm any fears I had through the process fron the other side.I would use him again with out hesitation.

Kudos to Jason Paul and his staff!! I had very little previous communication with any attorney prior to Jason Paul. When I first met Jason Paul, we were complete strangers. Through Jason, he explained in detail every step, detail, procedure and process that we would encounter. Jason was very clear in his communications both written and orally. It took approximately two years from the time I originally spoke with Jason Paul for the case to be settled and I was extremely happy with the results. Looking back there was not a single component of the case that I would change even if I could. Jason is a true professional that is absolutely working for and looking out for his clients best interest! I would not hesitate to personally use his services again or recommend him to anyone else. After the case was settled, I do consider Jaon Paul and his staff to be an extended part of my family that I previously lost. They were nothing less than wonderful!

Mr. Leibert has been my lawyer for over twenty years. He has always returned my calls promptly, he always charged fair prices and he has always achieved great results. He has represented many friends of mine with the same great results. I dont believe these two cheap shots taken by "anonymous" were really clients of Mr. Leibert. They clearly don't know Mr. Leibert. My life would be a lot harder if Matt had not have helped me all these years.

If you are looking for fair level representation you are in the wrong place this man is a complete waste of time and money and he will take your money and not return calls or represent you whatsoever. Total dirtbag and needs to be removed from the legal system!

This firm enjoys harassing local businesses. Mr. Adam Miller has been trying to enforce and invalid subpoena for the past 5 months. TRYING is the important word. His shortcomings with paperwork could mean the difference in your case. Use at your own risk!! I would not use an attorney who cant even force someone to produce the evidence needed to defend you or win your case.

They drop my case after a month. (hit by uninsured driver.) Everything was clear at very begging. Why it takes so long time to figure out about "we have chance to win"? Only chiropractors and doctors make money from my case. I felt myself like a "tool" for milking money from my insurance company (PIP coverage). Everyone use my case and then throw me away. Very unprofessional.

Loved to work with Oscar, in 6 months I feel he was the only one who tried to help me at the end. After being charge more than 6k and the only thing i got done was paperwork and 1 videocall on court worh the lawyer my experience was horrible. they don’t have any sensitivity towards the client. As a company they only cared about the money. Even if you request to get a call to ask a question they will charge you. I would NEVER RECOMMEND THIS LAWYER unless you have tons of money and just don’t care to get ripped apart economically.

I used The Fab Law Firm to file my divorce and was quoted a price of 3,500 with a max price of 7,500 if we needed mediation. I paid the 7,500 upfront just in case. The case ended up not needing mediation because the ex-wife and I were able to reach an agreement on our own, which we sent to our lawyers to draft. In total I spoke with my point of contact less than 10 times on the phone and less than 20 times via email. I was charged over 6,500 dollars for the work because they charged me for every email they sent to me and or the other law firm, and at times sending multiple emails (conversations) and charging for each response. I am not sure of many of the items I was charged for because it was just shown as hours they logged for work done on my behalf. I really don't understand all of the work that was done because the ex and I wrote our own agreement and just needed it drafted into legal form and submitted. The lawyers in my case didn't negotiate or write any agreement on my behalf, they simply took the agreement the ex and I made and put it into form for the courts, submitted it, and we were done, but somehow my charges still reached over 6,000 when I was quoted 3,500 if we didn't need mediation. In addition I was giving access to a portal to communicate with them called CLIO, however they were very unresponsive and hard to contact there. My case closed July 16, 2024 and I am now waiting for a review before the remaining funds are returned to me. I was told that Felicia has 30 days to review the file before returning the retainer. However I spoke with them today (Sep 19, 2024) over 2 months after my case has closed and was told that she has now been tasked with doing the review but she hasn't got to it and doesn't have a date on when she can because she is busy. I am a entrepreneur myself and run multiple companies, which is why I feel that this is a completely unacceptable way to deal with a client. I don't usually write bad reviews but I do feel like people should be aware of my experience, and hopefully save them some of the trouble I've dealt with.

I came to Mr. Young seeking assistance for an issue with my landlord that I wanted to resolve through the court system. Mr. Young listened, then patiently went through the entire process with me- the good the bad and the ugly. He presented the options to me and let me decide what route was best for my future. In the end, court was not necessary but my problem was quickly resolved. I really appreciated his honesty, the time he took to speak with me, and the money he saved me! I had visited other attorneys that made me feel rushed and did not care to help me since the case was not 'big enough.' Maybe I looked desperate, but whatever it was I appreciate the help he provided to me.

I would be cautious using Brenna manna & Diamond when you read about them they say Pro business law firm with emphasis on competence and character. My experience was completely the opposite. My attorney was not once on time not even to the mediation meeting (late and unprepared), I'm pretty sure I was overcharged for meetings that never happened, and now I'm getting invoices from Apr (that were paid in full) in Nov that show I owe money. when I called they said not to worry about the invoices were closing our files. 7months later! WOW! I'm a 21yr Navy veteran they told me what I wanted to hear and didn't deliver and so I would NOT recommend using them.

For the last 18 months his office has been working on my deceased husbands slip and fall case, I think I was called once after they received all the paperwork and photos they said they needed, although they promised to keep me informed of their progress with the case. I had to phone them, every 4 months or so, to find out what was happening. Of course, every time I called, they said they had been planning to call me in the next few days. There was always an excuse for not calling earlier, the last one being office reorganization. A new paralegal was being assigned to my case, and he would call me within the next week. I didn't hear anything for 4 weeks, and finally called back. I could never get connected to the paralegal. Whenever I called, he always happened to be too busy, and I was connected to his voice mail to leave a short message, and assured he would call me right back. When I finally was able to talk with someone 2 weeks later, it was a different paralegal again. He said the problem with the case was the company that owned the business where the fall occurred, was ignoring their attempts to get any information. They were not saying the fall occurred, they were not say the fall did not occur, they were just not responding at all. He said Mr. Pineyro was going to review the case in the next few days and decide how to proceed. He would then call me back and let me know. One week later I received 2 identical letters, one by regular mail, and one registered mail. They informed me he had decided not to handle my case and that I should contact another law firm. No further information as to why he made that decision. I called the office and again was told to leave a voice mail for the paralegal. I did, explaining I just wanted to understand why he had made that decision so I could better decide if I wanted to try again with a different attorney. I also wanted to know if I could get any of the paperwork and photos back to give another attorney. That was a week and a half ago. I have not heard back. What really confuses me, is that the business the fall occurred at is owned by a large corporation. Is this all they have to do to avoid a lawsuit, ignore the attorneys attempts at getting information, knowing that the attorney will just give up if it isn't a multi million dollar case? For someone who claims to be an "aggresive attorney" on his website, he certainly doesn't act like one. If he didn't want to handle the case, it should have made that decision a lot sooner than 18 months! I would nor reccomend John Pineyro Law Firm to anyone! What a waste of time!

Loved to work with Oscar, in 6 months I feel he was the only one who tried to help me at the end. After being charge more than 6k and the only thing i got done was paperwork and 1 videocall on court worh the lawyer my experience was horrible. they don’t have any sensitivity towards the client. As a company they only cared about the money. Even if you request to get a call to ask a question they will charge you. I would NEVER RECOMMEND THIS LAWYER unless you have tons of money and just don’t care to get ripped apart economically.

I used The Fab Law Firm to file my divorce and was quoted a price of 3,500 with a max price of 7,500 if we needed mediation. I paid the 7,500 upfront just in case. The case ended up not needing mediation because the ex-wife and I were able to reach an agreement on our own, which we sent to our lawyers to draft. In total I spoke with my point of contact less than 10 times on the phone and less than 20 times via email. I was charged over 6,500 dollars for the work because they charged me for every email they sent to me and or the other law firm, and at times sending multiple emails (conversations) and charging for each response. I am not sure of many of the items I was charged for because it was just shown as hours they logged for work done on my behalf. I really don't understand all of the work that was done because the ex and I wrote our own agreement and just needed it drafted into legal form and submitted. The lawyers in my case didn't negotiate or write any agreement on my behalf, they simply took the agreement the ex and I made and put it into form for the courts, submitted it, and we were done, but somehow my charges still reached over 6,000 when I was quoted 3,500 if we didn't need mediation. In addition I was giving access to a portal to communicate with them called CLIO, however they were very unresponsive and hard to contact there. My case closed July 16, 2024 and I am now waiting for a review before the remaining funds are returned to me. I was told that Felicia has 30 days to review the file before returning the retainer. However I spoke with them today (Sep 19, 2024) over 2 months after my case has closed and was told that she has now been tasked with doing the review but she hasn't got to it and doesn't have a date on when she can because she is busy. I am a entrepreneur myself and run multiple companies, which is why I feel that this is a completely unacceptable way to deal with a client. I don't usually write bad reviews but I do feel like people should be aware of my experience, and hopefully save them some of the trouble I've dealt with.

I would be cautious using Brenna manna & Diamond when you read about them they say Pro business law firm with emphasis on competence and character. My experience was completely the opposite. My attorney was not once on time not even to the mediation meeting (late and unprepared), I'm pretty sure I was overcharged for meetings that never happened, and now I'm getting invoices from Apr (that were paid in full) in Nov that show I owe money. when I called they said not to worry about the invoices were closing our files. 7months later! WOW! I'm a 21yr Navy veteran they told me what I wanted to hear and didn't deliver and so I would NOT recommend using them.

It would take pages to list all the faux pas and issues my wife and I have with this very personable but lazy uncaring, poor excuse for an Attorney. Wasted years of our life, now we have to get a real Attorney in this space. Go name brand is the lesson here. His staff even laughs at you, you have to collect all the evidence yourself a year after you've been lied to and told you we'll get it handled. Lied to so many times about what was done or allegedly in progress. Once we finally got to him writing a demand letter...we waited a month to read it ( unfiled, thank GOD). Then we got a copy and it left out 90 percent of the points a second grader would have known to include in it. Then it sat another month on HIS desk...when we called, to ask if they had heard from State Farm ( he laughs and says...hold on let me look ...oops...I got so busy it's still on my deks. ) Love NASCAR apparently more than serving clients. He did get us a second opinion, but he didn't even remember later who the doctor was that HE had sent us to. Referred to our doctors by the wrong names, titles. fields of expertise. If you have an injury that will leave you with a lifelong issue..DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS POOR EXCUSE OF AN ATTORNEY. Can you imagine a personal injury Attorney not wanting to go for more than a 100 K...and content to settle for 7500.00 knowing that it would leave you with thousands and thousands of dollars of unpaid medical bills, and nothing towards a life of needing a pain killer and a glass of wine to get to sleep from the pain?. Charles Parker forced her to say...she was 100 percent cured before he would even file the Demand Letter. Can you imagine that.....Would have had done that if her legs had been cut off from the car accident. Well we can't file until you can walk. He actually thinks we are thinking over for the last couple weeks...settling for 7500.00. If he wants a dime from the new attorney we will let the B.A.R. know the fullness of his negligence. We want justice, is that too much to ask for from one's Attorney. Several attorney friends we should have gone to could not believe the LONG list of truly unconscionable oversights, negligence would be an understatement.

We met with Brian more than 2 years ago regarding an auto accident. When you do get to speak with Brian, he has said for the last 18 months that he will file suit; however, still has not filed. An offer from insurance had expenses that were incorrect. He said that because my daughters car was uninsured that would be a problem, however, it was explained that my daughter was a passenger in that car and that it did not belong to her. Stated he would file suit, but the county to file was incorrect, and no suit ever filed. Told my daughter that she would receive weekly updates, however, there is NO communication. This is still an active case and we haven't heard from the attorney or his staff in months. It is our belief that he is hoping that we just walk away. We've discussed this case with other attorneys that said because too much time has passed that the power of getting the insurance company to pay now is very slim and that this attorney has failed us.

I applied to have a seal on my record, and was denied so I called Ms. Hale. Her motion that was filed in my defense was nothing but amazing. She basically told the judge that she isn’t doing her job by the statute law, which was right, the judge denied my seal based on a case that was relevant to my case. She called out every error made by the judge! She said this case was a no brained at least twice in the motion, it felt great to have someone with authority, tell the court they were wrong. This was the biggest victory I have ever had in my life, and it’s because I hired this lawyer. Altough, after a seal is complete, I wish she would have told me I had to send the order to all background check companies to remove it, because I wouldn’t have a clue about having to do that. I wish all lawyers would guide you to do that after, it only takes a few minutes.

I would never recommend this attorney to anyone. She is just a paper pusher. She is not proactive at all. After all, she is a defense attorney, so I guess that's my fault for hiring her before I actually researched her. If you need defensive help, she might be good. If you are fighting for something IE; a child, time sharing plan, etc, I would steer clear away from this lady. Think three or four times (not twice) before you give your money to this lady.

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.
