I had the privilege of working with Hale on my high-conflict case, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and expertise. I was in a situation where I felt hopeless as a single father, but Hale stepped in midway and completely changed the course of my case. From the start, he took the time to listen to my concerns and explained everything with clarity. His knowledge of the law is unmatched, and he was incredibly transparent throughout the entire process. He doesn’t treat you like just another client; he makes you feel like family, and you can tell he’s genuinely committed to fighting for you.
When it came time for trial, Hale’s confidence and expertise were on full display. Watching him in action was nothing short of impressive. He set realistic expectations from the beginning, and everything he said would happen, did. No false promises, just honest, diligent work. If you're in need of a lawyer who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about your case, Hale is the one you want. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a trusted attorney to take their case all the way to trial.

Coming to the Ivanor law Firm was the best decision I made. The people in this office are all very attentive to every one of your needs and always make sure they answer every question you may have. Not to mention I was always informed as to how my immigration case was going every step of the way. I started my process for a green card in November of last year, had my first response by January and now I’m a green card holder just 8 months later and I could not be more happy and grateful to this team.

I cannot thank Christina enough for the incredible support and expertise they provided after my car accident. From the beginning, she was compassionate, attentive, and determined to help me get the medical treatment and compensation I deserved. Christina guided me through every step of the process,explaining everything clearly and keeping me informed at all times.
Her dedication to my case was evident, as she worked tirelessly to ensure I received fair treatment from both the insurance companies and medical providers. Thanks to her efforts, I was able to focus on my recovery without the added stress of legal battles. In the end, I received the compensation I needed to cover my medical expenses and move forward with my life.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly cares about their clients and will fight for your rights, I highly recommend Christina. She went above and beyond for me, and I’m confident she’ll do the same for anyone in need of legal representation.

Jennifer placed me in the best job I’ve ever had. My worst day at my current job is 100 times better than the best day at my last job. She spoke with me at length in order to gauge where I was at in my career and weeded through several jobs to find the perfect fit. She’s always available and takes any concern you have seriously. She will not let anyone stay in a position that isn’t benefiting them. She will make sure you are taken care of. I would recommend everyone I know to NorthStar Legal if they need job placement!

I hired James Payer to handle my work accident he was the most humble and easy to work with lawyer I've ever seen. I was very very happy with my settlement and strongly recommend him to anyone and will for sure use his services in the future if needed.

James kept us very in the loop, always up to date on changes within our case. If we had any questions on the process or what something meant he had a way of using layman's terms that made it easy for us "non lawyers" to understand. James still is a point of contact for us when we have any questions regarding our auto insurance policy, when we're not sure what exactly covers what, as it can be complicated.
Also, our case was completed with settlement in five months, our accident was in September and settlement was given in January. My sister has an ongoing case that has lasted a year now and I told her she should have hired a better lawyer like I did! I couldn't be anymore satisfied after a stressful accident James got us justice for all the damages we sustained not only with our vehicle but with our lives (time out of work, medical bills, injuries overall). Five star lawyer for sure. Go with James Payer and associates.

Attorney Malenfant was a absolute joy to work with during these trying times. He worked diligently through my case and was on top of everything in the most efficient manner. His paralegal Lindsey was a absolute joy as well. She ensured that I was kept up to date on any proceedings and assisted me with anything that I was not understanding. If she didn't know the answer she ensured that she either got the answer quickly or had Attorney Malenfant reach out to me to answer my question. I hope I never have to go through a Family law matter again but if I do I will absolutely be reaching out to Attorney Malenfant and Lindsey.

I would not think twice about reccommending Daniel to anyone who has been in a car accident or is having any sort of issue with their insurance company. Daniel has represented both my wife and I in a car accident as well as a home insurance claim where our insurance company originally denied our claim where a water pipe bursted in our home! He went above and beyond in terms of keeping us updated about what was going on as well as making sure we were completely compensated for the losses we occurred as a result of the incidents. We are extremely greatful for his dedication and appreciate all his hard work.

We hired this firm in January 2022 for a slip and fall. Needless to say we are still fighting and not 100% due to the defendant. We have had 5 or 6 attorneys since that time. My 81 year old mother has been passed around like stale bread no one wants. If you didn't want the case why did you take it? We finally got a good attorney who was making progress and we were in pre settlement. Haven't heard from them in 4 weeks so she decided to call. Attorney we had left the firm and no one bothered to be professional and notify her. Called many times yesterday only to get a case worker who answers the phone and get the run around. You are a nobody to this firm unless they can make a million dollars from your case. Do not hire them for anything. They take your money so Dennis can make billboards on a Harley.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Washington, and his team for handling my son’s case. After calling around to so many different law firms to get assistance, when my son was injured at school. They all said NO! But when I received a callback from Mr. Washington. He was the only one that had faith in my son‘s case. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to these type of cases. Every time I reached out, he was the one to always give me a call back. Very respectful and honest. He took the time to listen to my concerns to see what he can do to help me. If you are looking for an attorney, that’s not going to tell you NO right away. Then Mr. Washington is the right attorney for you! Once again, thank you Mr. Washington and keep doing what you do.

Highly Recommend The Hamilton Law Firm!
The Hamilton Law Firm was the best choice I could have made for my legal needs. From the very first contact, their team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. I initially spoke with Kallena Mundy, who made a lasting impression. Kallena was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly respectful throughout my name-change process. She set a high standard for what I could expect from the firm, and I’m grateful for her guidance.
After working with Kallena, I was assisted by Brittney Baboolal, who consistently responded to all of my inquiries in a timely manner. She answered my questions thoroughly, guided me step-by-step through the legal process, and kept me updated at every stage. Brittney’s communication and attentiveness made me feel truly cared for—I never felt like just another client.
When it came time for my court hearing, Attorney Kaylun Bryant represented me with professionalism and confidence. Although I didn’t meet him until the court date, he arrived fully prepared and knowledgeable about my case. He ensured everything went smoothly, resulting in a successful outcome. After the hearing, he took the time to follow up with me, answer any remaining questions, and express his gratitude for choosing their firm.
The Hamilton Law Firm is a top-tier team that treats clients with respect, compassion, and appreciation. They make you feel like a valued participant in your case, not just a bystander. For anyone in need of legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend their services.
Thank you again to the entire Hamilton Law Firm team for your outstanding support!

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.
