There are times in our life when we are thrown into challenging hard times. Wondering how do I get through this or even how did I get here! Well Mr. Paul Geller was that guiding light. He provided the answers and hope I was searching for. As we know the judicial system is not always perfect and doesn't always protect the innocent. Being falsely accused of domestic violence and arrested for it was disheartening and scary. I actually got to see first hand how the law can be turned around and work against the innocent. This is an accusation that can destroy a person's life and reputation. I knew I just couldn't trust anyone to hold my future, my life in their hands. Mr. Geller got me through that dark time, allowing me to continue living my life free. That is priceless!

My friend referred me to Michael O’Connor after an unusual accident. Initially, I knew very little about the legal process and had the impression it would be complicated and stressful. After just one meeting with Michael, I felt more knowledgeable and in control. He listened to my account of events along with my fiancé’s, explained the entire process thoroughly, and answered all our questions patiently. I especially appreciated that he was honest and upfront from the beginning on what to expect in terms of potential settlement amount. Throughout the process, I felt that my health and well-being were prioritized. Michael always asked how I was feeling and how my treatment was going; he encouraged me to continue to travel and enjoy life. Both Michael and his assistant Norma continually kept me up-to-date on proceedings, and besides providing extra information here and there, very minimal work was required on my end. During mediation, Michael fought hard and reached an impressive settlement that far exceeded our expectations. While I wish the accident had never happened, Michael found me the best possible outcome, and I am so happy I chose him as my legal representation.

I highly recommend the McNally law firm. They provided excellent assistance to my brother and me after we were rear-ended by a pickup truck. Angie was particularly helpful in scheduling our doctor appointments and ensuring we received timely updates via phone and email. Mr. Frank McNally is an ideal attorney, especially when dealing with insurance companies and seeking fair compensation for damages. He personally called to assure us that he was fighting for our best interests, and he certainly delivered. The team at McNally is straightforward and honest, making our experience stress-free.

I was in a car accident in October 2022 and injured my neck and shoulder. I decided to hire Jacob and boy, am I glad I did. He was able to advise me along the way where I should go to handle my pain all while he worked on my case. It is not an overnight process but with Jacob, your interests are always at the top of his mind and he will check in with you throughout your case and give you honest feedback and a plan that will best suit your needs. He cares about what you are dealing with and any injury and pain you are going through and will fight your case for you. I was extremely happy with what he was able to do for my case. It was a better outcome than we had even thought! And it's because he works hard and cares about you! I strongly recommend hiring Jacob for all your law needs.

I had a very, very tricky Personal Injury ("slip and fall") case that my own attorney eventually rejected. It's got a lot of risk, it involves attorney-expense, time, etc. It's against a Major Bank who vigorously defends such claims, etc. For so many reasons it's WRONG for the top attorneys in this field. Many or most who either hung-up on me or didn't call back, write back, acknowledge receipt of previous attorney's Demand Letter, etc. Even my own attorney was very lukewarm and unable to give this much time. I understood and understand it all. The fact that an attorney showed interest at all buoyed my surgery and necessary physical rehab, which took a good six months just to again walk. So either way I won, either way this turned out well because I'm walking again, in the gym, exercising, etc. Attorney Katz was just awesome in that he spent some time on the phone (despite being busy and involved in at LEAST one other trial). Returned all calls. If he said and says he'll call he does and did. I was just amazed at the Class-Level given the fact this Slip-and-Fall case is not an attractive proposition. I knew when my first attorney said he's bailing that it was a one-shot thing, a Demand Letter then everyone go home. People have to make a living, pay the rent, it has to make sense for these top guys. From what I understand, Attorney Katz is about as "Tops" as it gets. My first attorney was SURPRISED to hear Attorney Katz expressed ANY interest. (thought maybe I misunderstood or had wax in my ears). He said REALLY, Richard M. KATZ returned a call on this - wow - did Attorney Katz SEE the Demand Letter?! Which just shows how other attorneys in this field regard Attorney Katz - as the top of the top. I'm writing this because I just got off the phone with Attorney Katz. He AGAIN called back (each time I'm shocked), this is THIRD time even though he senses/knows there's nothing very strong - or unusual - or favorable about my position. Which is okay, as written I recovered, I'm well, I'm exercising again - as written the THOUGHT there might be compensation for a difficult year BUOYED my rehab, at least gave me some hope. So Attorney Katz, just wanted to come here, reflect on what a class guy you are - and how anyone needing a top Los Angeles-Pasadena-Glendale-based attorney should first consult you. I'm really in awe in light of the response from the others - and my respect for you knows no bounds. Thanks very much again for your time and attention: Joseph K

I highly recommend this law office for anyone needing representation after an accident! I was hit in a car accident and chose this firm to represent me — I couldn't be happier with the results. Stephanie and Angie were incredible from start to finish. They kept me informed, answered my questions quickly, and made the whole process much less stressful. They genuinely cared about my case, and thanks to their hard work and dedication, we won and I received a great settlement. If you're looking for a team that's professional, compassionate, and truly invested in your case, this is the place to go!

I highly recommend the McNally law firm. They provided excellent assistance to my brother and me after we were rear-ended by a pickup truck. Angie was particularly helpful in scheduling our doctor appointments and ensuring we received timely updates via phone and email. Mr. Frank McNally is an ideal attorney, especially when dealing with insurance companies and seeking fair compensation for damages. He personally called to assure us that he was fighting for our best interests, and he certainly delivered. The team at McNally is straightforward and honest, making our experience stress-free.

I had an exceptional experience with Alpine Law Group. Their demeanor was caring, compassionate, and transparent throughout our discussions. Their extensive experience demonstrated their profound understanding of my situation and refrained from advocating for unnecessary medical procedures. Instead, they prioritized the essential aspects of my care. Communication was consistently excellent, and they maintained a professional demeanor throughout the entire process. I highly recommend their services.

I would not go with them again. They continuously gave me false information about the tow yard, the other persons insurance, the amount I would be receiving and that was only when I reached out. Never got a call or email to notify me of what was going on. They did win my case but it was a easy win, it was 100% not may fault so. I think on top of the trauma and problems that the accident brought me, they just piled on. Also offered to mail my check faster if I gave a review.....

I hired Vincent based on good reviews and a referral from a friend. His rate seemed reasonable, so I decided to work with him. Our initial conversation was smooth, although brief, and I felt confident moving forward. I paid the retainer on 8/17, and he promptly filed the initial form on 8/19. When he informed me that papers were served on 8/27 and the respondent had 30 days to respond, I thought things were progressing well. However, my positive impression quickly faded. I followed up with him on 9/11 and 9/18 without any response. He finally called on 9/19, four hours late, and reassured me that “everything was fine.” When I questioned why he hadn’t filed the proof of service of summons, he brushed it off, saying it wasn’t necessary to file it right away and would handle it later. He advised waiting until mid-October, to which I agreed. From there, communication became nonexistent. I followed up on 10/14 with no reply and reached out again on 10/24, 10/25, and 10/28—still nothing. Aside from filing the initial paper with the court, he has done absolutely nothing further on my case. When I contacted the courthouse myself, I learned that my case had been left completely unattended, with the court even requesting a status update due to inactivity. Vincent’s behavior was not only unresponsive but also unprofessional at every turn. Missing scheduled calls, failing to provide updates, and ignoring my questions demonstrated a lack of respect for my time and trust. He even used a personal “gmail.com” email account instead of a professional one, which, looking back, was an early red flag. His entire approach felt more like a one-man show than a legitimate law firm. Vincent comes off as convincing and charming on the phone (when you can reach him), but if you’re looking for someone who will swiftly take a retainer, make empty promises, and waste your time, he’s your guy. I wasted two months trusting that he was working on my case while, in reality, he had abandoned it. Now I’m forced to dismiss the case he filed and start over—an unfortunate setback given the lengthy court process. Please beware of Vincent when choosing a lawyer to represent your case. His unprofessionalism, lack of accountability, and disregard for his clients’ time make him a poor choice if you need real legal representation.

I was met with kindness and genuine care the moment I spoke with Jacob on the phone. His personable nature made discussing legal matters much more comfortable. I felt confident Jacob had my best interests at heart throughout the entire process. Jacob had the perfect communication balance by reaching out to provide updates and gather necessary information to handle my case efficiently, but never making me feel overwhelmed or pressured to move forward with something I was unsure about. If I had a question, Jacob explained with patience and expertise, never making me feel dumb asking for clarity. Overall, I highly recommend Jacob for anyone in need of legal assistance. Their professionalism and guidance kept me stress-free during a challenging time and created an easygoing experience that was just right for me. 10/10 would choose again and forever recommend!

My friend t referred me to Jacob and I contacted him about my case involving a road rage incident, he quickly wrote up a retainer, we gathered the evidence including a video of the accident and it was pretty open and shut. He did everything he could to get my wife and I the most out of the settlement he even sent me a no strings attached advance when I came on hard times because work dried up for me as a result of not being able to work a while because of my injuries. I couldn’t see myself ever going to another accident attorney and anytime I hear anyone with a case that is legit I will send them Jacob’s way he really knocked my case out of the park and made me and my wife feel comfortable throughout the whole situation.

There is a reason HLF specializes in Employment Law. While avoiding specifics I will say this Team of legal professionals set the standard very high. From the moment I used their website to submit my inquiry to present day I never felt anything but educated, cared about, and professionally guided through the scary waters of my specific case. I sought justice and Alex (and his wonderful Team) helped me get it. I feel like I had a voice now and that I have been properly compensated. Towards the end and several times during this experience I was flustered and bewildered. I was worried they would think I was stupid or annoying for asking so many questions, especially after what I had been though.... My self esteem was not very good at that time. But every email was answered with patience and kindness. Now I feel victorious and I am ready to make the world my oyster again. Thank you so much for everything!

My case should have been straight forward, the person who rear ended me accepted fault the day after the accident. I naively thought I didn't need an attorney. The person and his insurance agency made things very difficult for me and it was apparent needed an attorney. Darren was a referral from a friend and from the moment I met him, I knew I was going to be well taken care of. This accident and resolving the issues became a 2.5 year ordeal and I was grateful for Darren every step of the way. If you take a little time to meet with Darren you will see what I mean, he is a wonderful person and attorney.

I had a difficult slip and fall case which a previous attorney turned down. Basically I slipped on some oil in the cursor service area of an auto parts store and for my ACL in my knee. The site rejected my laim as did attorney no. 1. I called Darren Manibog and he took the time to listen to me when others didn't. He took my car and he and his team did a great job. They got the store to pay for my surgery and rehab. And they got me a nice settlement in my pocket too. They were so helpful, patient and nice.

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.
