When searching for an attorney, I found Mr. Markman to be extremely informed regarding my civil rights claim. He was very responsive and knowlegable. I would highly recommend Mr. Markman and his firm. Other attorney's that I contacted regarding my claim were very dismissive.

Mr young has proved to be a very respected lawyer, Ryan took a case defending me against a citation from animal control recently in Cobb county Georgia. He appeared in court for me multiple times due to a family crisis and has not even asked for his fee in advance, which in today's world of corruption and greed is very comforting to know that money is not driving Mr young to represent his clients, I believe Mr Young is one of the best lawyers I have had the pleasure of meeting and trusting and I would highly recommend Mr Young to anyone who would like to have a lawyer who puts his clients legal trouble before Money and will stand with you when you need it the most.
Sincerely,
Michael R.Z - U.S.M.C.R

Eben Self was suggested to me from a friend and they spoke very highly of him. When I originally hired Eben Self a little over a year ago he worked vigorously to help my situation for a (VOP) during covid no less. It was very hard to get heard, seen, or even a court date. He made it happen and I was released. He is straight with you and will not sugar coat anything I loved this. He has worked hard with me to get my early termination, and has fast tracked my probation with great success. I'm now a free man because of his diligence, hard work, and determination. From what I have seen first hand, Eben Self is well known and respected among the courts. I look forward to working with him again in the future, continuing getting my life back in order. The court system is very confusing and he knows not only how to navigate, but also how to get the win in your case. Thank You for all the hard work and everything you have done to help me.

Mr. Rugh represented us against someone who claimed they were injured in our parking lot. From the beginning he spent time answering my questions and explaining the process (my first time being sued in 15 years!). He did a fantastic job and ultimately the guy who sued me (and his attorney) dismissed the case for $100, when they had originally demanded $1 million! I highly recommend him.

Finally an honest lawyer. Mr. Rugh defended me in a lawsuit where a man claimed he was seriously injured. The lawsuit caused anxiety for my wife and I and Mr. Rugh calmed our fears and spent a lot of time explaining what was happening. He gave us all the time we wanted and was masterful in getting the case against us dismissed. I can't recommend he and his staff any higher. They have completely changed our opinion of lawyers and showed us there are some outstanding and honest lawyers out there.

Ms. Arnold came to visit my son in jail and kept us informed of the charges and court dates. She was able to have the charges dropped as the search was illegal. Ms. Arnold is feisty and is not afraid to stand up to the system. Thank you, Ms. Arnold.

Mrs. Arnold handled a case for my son and his girlfriend. We were always able to reach her or quickly got a return call. She did not allow the D.A. to get away with the games he was tryin to play. She actually caught him in a lie and the had the officer come in to testify concerning this lie. The cases were dropped finally and that never would have been the case had she not been our attorney. She is young, but she fights hard and you can tell she is wanting to make a name for herself by doing well by her clients.

When my husband was arrested for a felony vop for possession of marijuana in 2009 under a gram. He was wearing his friend's jeans, that happened to have a washed pair of jeans, with an old blunt clip that he had no knowledge of its whereabouts. As a public defender, she dedicated herself beyond what I have ever experienced with any attorney, paid or not! She called me during all hours to find the owner of those jeans, she believed in him, when nobody else would! She was reassigned by the p.d. office and still showed up to his trial, brought him a suit to wear as an inmate who has no means to such luxuries and continued to invest herself into his case . We located the owner of the .05 grams of marijuana, he took full responsibility of the illegal substance and my husband was reinstated on probation, and his charges dropped. I've never encountered a more dedicated attorney, paid or not. I see she has moved on to PIP, so i felt that anyone whom is looking for someone to fully invest in their case, trust in this woman! ❤❤❤❤❤

I would highly recomend the law offices of Jonn Stemberger to anyone going through a personal injury lawsuit. John and his paralegal Michelle kept me informed on my case and were very compasionate and suportive througn the deposition and mediation process. They went above and beyond to get me the best offers and claims for my case. Their hard work and support made going through this a lot less stressful for me. Before going anywhere else I highly reccomend calling the law offices of John Stemberger first.

This man was recommended to me by a friend. I don't like to use lawyers who are on TV and billboards because I've seen with my friends, THEY NEVER CALL. This guy called me back. I talked to him, not his paralegal every time (though she was and very responsive). It was a good experience after my injury to have this man represent me.

My family retained Mr. Allen to handle a business immigration matter when he was practicing immigration law. It was a very complicated situation. Mr. Allen consulted with us multiple times, gave us excellent feedback and even connected us to a nationally acclaimed attorney for additional advice. We were very pleased how well Mr. Allen handled this matter for us. He was professional, very honest, astute and resourceful and worked vigorously on our legal matter. He never took advantage of us. We also noticed he is a humanitarian with a compassionate heart. I recommend him to anyone who is seeking his assistance without any reservations!

David was prompt, on-point, available, and professional throughout the entire process; beginning to end.
When I was originally arrested, David was in constant contact with the bail agency regarding the securement of my release. After my release, the bail agent was very complementive of how persistent and "on-point" he was throughout the process. It was comforting to know I had someone so compotent and thorough on my side throughout the worst part of my ordeal.
In the months since my incident, David has been promp and informative regarding any follow-up paperwork or formalities which have needed addressing.
This has been my first and only expericne working with an attorney and I would highly recommend David Novack to those in need of legal representation.

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.
