I was in a car accident in 2020 I had different lawyers handling my case finally
Mr. Michael Pungitore took my case and I can truthfully say he is definitely the best. If you need the best lawyer I definitely without a doubt recommend him. I give him a 10 plus you could not ask for better service and such a caring person he got the job done. Thanks again for your service😊

However once she inputted my case into the system, I was contacted By a Morgan representative who was on point and help me get my case started. I felt relieved by their quick and detailed response.

I hired them to take on a case and decided to go another route. They lack communication skills, they don’t return calls, so since they read the reviews I no longer need your services so you don’t have to put in the no work that you have been doing

I first came across Justin’s profile for his bikes, tattoos, and similar content as mine several years ago. Long story short, I ran into some legal trouble for a dui, but have used justin multiple times for other legal purposes and have won. Justin, also known as kpac, is the only, and only, lawyer that has answered every call, text, and voicemail I have ever left him no matter how many times I have reached out through social media, direct number or email. I have used him for multiple cases, and he has never judged me or each situation and has always been very honest each situation and each possible outcome. Kpac is worth every penny regardless of his charge and I not only look at him as the most honest lawyer but as the brother I never had. He is the first person I always reach out to in times of need, answers to my questions and confusion (unfortunately). He will not leave you wondering what is going on. You may think hiring older is better but justin 100% knows what he is doing and I never had to question him, his proceedings, how he goes about things, or his team. Definitely put him at the top of your list if you are juggling lawyers.

Justin was excellent in helping me understand my options and what I could possibly do with my car accident even though they would not be able to take my case. He was very considerate and showed more concern and care than I received from various other lawyers. If I'm ever in a serious injury accident I will be using this law firm in the future.

Mr Suthard was my lawyer, and I had a lot of health issues that limited my ability to participate in my case. However, my lawyer, Mr. Wade Suthard was very caring and empathetic to my needs. I am so grateful to Mr. Suthard for everything. Thank you to the entire staff at Reiff law firm. A special shout out to Caitlin. You're the best.

I wasn't represented by this law firm but I did call for some direction with a situation I had. When I say, Justin, the person I spoke to was amazing. Customer service was top tier. So even though I wasn't a client of theirs, it felt like anyone would be in good hands with this company.

After meeting with two attorneys to represent me, it was clear almost immediately Phil was the right representation. The retention process was easy, his schedule and staff was very flexible and I really felt like Phil truly cared for me as his client. He was very thorough in his analysis and provided me with winning counsel and also just generally explaining state laws which can be very confusing. Marital agreements are not the easiest of conversations to have, and Phil provided me with guidance and ethics in that area as well. I would absolutely recommend Phil for any family law needs.

My family and I want to express my sincere appreciation to you for handling my case so personally and professionally. Your accomplishments are not simply attributed to expert leadership and hard-working employees, but you truly care about the person behind the case. You treated me with respect and empathy, always answering my question or concerns promptly. Your dedication to my case was over and above anyone else in your field (astoundingly often getting back to me on weekends and evenings.)
So this is a thank-you note for representing me on my claim. I will personally recommend you and your firm to anyone in need.

I always felt that I was Shayna's only client. She has kept me up to date on the progress of my case on a routine basis. She is always quick to call back and answer all my questions. She even will take the time to call and ask how a medical procedure went. Shanya goes above and beyond and it is a pleasure having her work on my case..

I engaged Mr. Feldman after interviewing three law firms to handle my FINRA Securities Complaint. From the outset, Mr. Feldman was attentive, understanding, objective, and insightful. His talent and experience were of significant benefit in pursuing our case. Mr. Feldman's staff and expert witness were of the highest caliber. Mr. Feldman's skills as a litigator were clearly evident during our Mediation and Arbitration sessions. I could not have had a better representative handling my case than Attorney Joel Feldman and I give him my highest recommendation.

I had the privilege of speaking with Ashlyn Carst regarding a complex case. Before speaking with her, I approached all the big law firms like Morgan and Morgan, and no one would hear my case. They wouldn't elaborate as to why they wouldn't take my case, which was fustrating as I didn't know where to go next. I called The Villari Firm after business hours yesterday and Ashlyn called me right at 9 AM. She was prompt, polite, and personable. She took the time on the phone to listen to my complex case. My case wasn't the right fit for her agency, but she took the time to explain why not and the laws involved. She then followed up our conversation with a detailed email and a referral to a firm that likely can help me. I've been researching tirelessly to find the relevant laws, to no avail, but Ashlyn helped me in 10 minutes. There is no doubt in my mind as to whom I will refer any of my friends or family to if we ever need (though I hope I won't have to!). She is truly an advocate for clients and I am very grateful for the time she took to speak with me. Thank you Ashlyn!

If you are looking for a lawyer who is compassionate and willing to go above and beyond for you as a client Heidi is exactly who you are looking for. Heidi litigated my daughter’s birth injury case with such grace and understanding. Both Heidi and Ana supported both myself and my daughter throughout our journey of litigation which ended in a life changing result. Heidi is super informative and hands on with her clients and she explains each aspect of process so you never feel like you are in the dark. Ana is such a joy and a great asset to the firm - she made sure that if I had any questions or concerns that they were resolved quickly and efficiently. I love this team - I am so happy with the decision that I made by choosing them as my legal team. This team has changed my family’s life for the better and I am so proud to have worked with them.

Working with this lawyer was a refreshing experience. I recently found out that years ago I had been frivolously sued in small claims court by someone who made a meritless claim. This person used it to try to enter a civil judgment against me. Frankly I had no idea how to handle the situation. I was scared and confused. I called a bunch of law firms trying to figure out what I needed to do, and most of them just left me feeling even more scared and more confused. Then I called the law offices of Thomas D. Kenny, and I had the complete opposite experience. Every single person I spoke to treated me with kindness and respect. They helped me understand exactly what was going on and what I needed to do to resolve it. They worked quickly, communicated clearly, and got me the exact outcome I was looking for. I can't overstate how satisfied I am with their work. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone!

The best experience during a worst case scenario. My son was facing false allegations of a Title IX violation. We researched and consulted several leading legal advisors throughout the country. Several took the approach of "fear factoring" us into needing their legal services but didn't necessarily express a true regard for my son's state of mind. After initially speaking with Atty. Joseph Lento, and immediately being treated with the utmost sincerity and having been acknowledged for our feelings with the matter, we felt we would be moving forward with obtaining their counsel. They even granted a follow-up call waiving an additional consultation fee to allow us the opportunity to address a few points with no pressure to choose their firm. At that point, we knew they had more interest in our comfort level and goals than simply collecting a payment. Once on board, we were assigned to Kyle Adams, who had the knowledge and expertise in this area of law and whom was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made himself available in the evenings, weekends and on his direct cell via telephone, Zoom, as well as in-person simply at our request to ensure my son was comfortable, even though he was over 2 hours away. Kyle's client-centered approach made a significant difference in his case, from a thorough investigation, supportive evidence, and his skillful negotiation helping him achieve a quick resolution to obtain our desired outcome of a withdrawal of the claim. Thanks to the Lento Law Firm and their Atty. Kyle Adams expertise, my son avoided severe academic penalties, if this wasn't handled with the care and diligent efforts that were needed to navigate this endeavor. In the end, my son had regained his reputation and respect of his friends and peers. I cannot express my most heartfelt, and sincere gratefulness for all that was done. We will only reach out to Lento Law Firm and his team if we are ever in need of legal services going forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I had the occasion to explain my case to Mark when we met by chance outiside the courtroom. In 60 seconds he explained things to me about the way the system works (corruption) that opened my eyes in a way that is a true revelation. In a subsequent conversation I realized that Mark is a very special human being. His level of morality, spirutuality, and wisdom is beyond anything I have seen in other lawyers. When you work with Mark, God will be on your side.

Mark was referred by another attorney who I trust and have hired before; when I spoke with Mark over the phone for the first time I knew I had made the right choice. Months later after he helped my nephew through a difficult process, I can't express how grateful I am to Mark for always being so supportive, communicative and professional.

I found Dana through AVVO. Not only is Dana a great lawyer, she’s straight to the point and upfront on her opinion and doesn’t beat around the bush. Dana and her team have been great. Every time I reached out to Dana, whether it be email or phone, if Dana couldn’t call me back, one of her amazing staff members did. She has been on top of every detail in my case and no matter the challenges are set against us due to my past medical history, Dana is fighting hard to prove my past medical history shouldn’t make it ok for those who caused my injuries to not pay for their negligence. She’s a woman who stands strong for her clients.

My accident case isn’t exactly cut & dry. There are many intricate details & things that may or may not apply that heavily impacted the value on my case. From the moment I hired Schatz & Steinberg firm & my case was given to Dana Weitz, this very traumatic & difficult time has been a breeze! First I’d like to say that I received support on a very personal level which was a great help. Anytime that I had a problem & sometimes it wasn’t case related…They were there to help! More importantly, Dana has been so meticulous going over every fine detail, recognizing issues that could’ve been detrimental & went above and beyond IMMEDIATELY & fixing them! Not only that, my phone calls & emails are always answered fairly quickly, and I’m not treated just as a client, but as a friend! This firm has helped, supported, and guided me through a time where I was confused, injured, upset & not knowing where to turn. They’ve held my hand the entire way! I am more than satisfied with the outcome, and would highly recommend Dana to anyone who has found themselves in a position where you’re injured and need an attorney. Rest assured she will take very good care of you!

I was working in the construction industry as an electrician when I was injured when a malfunctioning tool struck me in the side of the face. I was devastated to have left the ER with what the doctors told me was undoubtedly a permanent scar in front of my ear under neath the stitches. I felt hopeless and very insignificant, I had been permanently disfigured by one of the largest tool manufacturers in the world and there was nothing I could do about it. A family memeber recommended I speak to a lawyer which seemed like a waste of time because I was just me and they were Milwaukee tools. After getting in touch with Mr. Boland he assured me he would fight for me with all his might and hold this massive company accountable. Thinking this was an insurmountable task I reluctantly signed the papers and it was the best decision I have ever made. From that moment forward I felt like i was in control. He did as promised and without lifting another finger I had a check in my hand before I knew it. Not only did Mr. Boland deliver on his promise, he made me feel like I was his only client, answering his phone everytime I called after just a ring or two and treating me with professionalism and respect. To him I wasn’t just a crummy construction worker, like the first couple attorneys I spoke too made me feel, he made me feel like an equal peer, a person who had been wronged by a large company and he was going to make it right for me. Mr. Boland brought Milwaukee tools to their knees delivering exactly what I asked for, and I never had to step foot in a court room, and for that I’m eternally grateful. Thank you Mr. Boland, not only for delivering on your promise, but more importantly giving me a voice when I felt like I had none.

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.
