After being involved in an accident and having heard great things about Larry, I felt secure in my decision to reach out to him for help with my accident. Not only did he do a great job of keeping me educated about my options, he informed me of every step in the process. I always felt comfortable asking questions throughout, and I was very pleased with how things worked out. His dedication and passion for his clients and their cases is evident by the praise and respect he gleans from the folks he has helped, myself included. Larry is highly regarding amongst his peers and colleagues and I am certain they will all join me in giving him the highest recommendation possible.

I would like to share my experience working with Mr Agunsday, I felt he was very professional and always kept in touch. It was my first time ever using a lawyer and he made the situation go as smooth as possible by the small updates and always responding in a quick period of time. Every small question was always answered in a detail manner to help me understand fully what the next steps would be.

Mr Morlok was a fantastic lawyer. Before any court date, we sat down and discussed the case at hand. His opinions, advice, and recommendations were excellent. After our first court date, he insisted we kept in contact, and met in person a few more times to make sure things get handled correctly. In our meetings, we went over everything more than once to make sure we were on the same page with the best direction to be going headed into court. Mr Morlok was extremely professional and explained every detail as many times as needed to make sure I understood what was going to happen while sitting on trail. We both went over my testimony over the phone when I wasent availiable, and during meetings. Very flexible hours to acme date my work schedule. At our last court date, I didn't have to do anything except show up, he took care of everything from start to finish flawlessly. I would recommend William Morlok to any individual seeking a lawyer. I hope not to need him again in the future but if a situation arises, I know who to call without hesitation.

Mr. Morlok is an intelligent, passionate, and extremely talented attorney who I would absolutely recommend to anyone seeking legal advice. We have contacted Bill on many occasions for a variety of reasons, and in every interaction he listens to our concerns, provides thoughtful insight backed by case law and other resources, and skillfully advises us on the best course of action. Bill provides impeccable customer service, is easily accessible, and devotes individualized attention to our needs and concerns. If there is an issue out of his realm of expertise, Bill consults with peers in the field and/or makes referrals. Bill is a strong advocate, and it is clear that he puts his clients’ needs first: he is a good teacher, always ensuring we understand the process; a detailed communicator, continually keeping us informed; and a skillful negotiator, confidently putting our minds at ease. I highly recommend Mr. Morlok as a lawyer and cannot thank him enough for his years of advice and hard work on our behalf.

Bill was a consummate professional in my dealings with him on a recent legal matter. Prompt, attentive, and he clearly enjoys what he does! Most of all, I often find lawyers to be intimidating and stern, but Bill was easy to speak with and very much a people person, which goes a long way toward making the stress and complexity of sorting out a legal issue that much easier to handle. I would not hesitate to reach out to him again if I ever needed additional assistance from a legal professional.

My particular situation involves a different venue / state, however Dena still took the time to consult with me in considerable depth about my upcoming case, and helped me to find another firm(s) that is probably going to be a better fit and have more benefits for my situation & the outcome. I... REALLY appreciated that!
Friendly; professional- easy to talk to and knows her stuff. 5 stars!

Dena entered our lives at a very difficult time. My husband had been diagnosed with mesothelioma, and had just undergone extensive surgery. We had been referred to her law firm, Weitz and Luxenberg. Dena contacted us and arranged to come to Florida and to spend the day with us. She was so sensitive and caring. She had our trust from the very beginning. She explained the process very carefully. She was available any time we had questions. Even after my husband unfortunately passed away, she continued to monitor the case, and to be helpful with advice, information, and encouragement. She had provided her personal cell number from the beginning, so I was able to contact her, even though she had changed law firms. She made me feel that I was still her client, and that she genuinely wanted to assist in any way. She is a credit to her profession!

Ms. Dena Young was lead counsel for my father's wrongful death while employed with one of the largest law firms specializing in asbestos litigation. Ms. Young's legal representation, subject matter knowledge, dedication and client devotion were exemplary. Ms. Young expertly guided my family and I through the technically complicated, stressful and emotionally taxing asbestos litigation process with skill and great compassion - she truly cares about her clients. Ms. Young's experience and legal expertise were "mission-critical" during the activities leading up to and during my week-long deposition, during which up to 15 defendant attorneys were present during the proceedings. I felt confident and comfortable during this stressful event thanks to Ms. Young's meticulous preparations. I highly recommend Ms. Young to anyone requiring legal representation and will seek her out again should I require counsel assistance.

My husband and I hired David Colleran to represent us in a medical malpractice suit. We found David to be professional, experienced, and extremely knowledgeable. I consider myself to be very fortunate to have had David at the helm when my husband died before the case was settled. With his experience, discernment, and patience, David was able to negotiate our case to a successful settlement.

David, and everyone I dealt with at the Colleran firm were fantastic, never failing to treat my case with the utmost professionalism. From initial consultation to successful resolution, they always kept me informed of developments throughout the process. I've dealt with many attorneys for various reasons in the past, but never been so favorably impressed. If anyone needs an attorney to litigate, or negotiate, on their behalf, I'd tell them to call the Colleran firm, and ask for David, before anyone else.

David Colleran represent us in a medical malpractice case. He did an excellent job. He was extremely thorough and professional in all of our dealings with him. Mr. Colleran kept us informed during the trial and proceedings. I don't think we couold have had a better attorney. We would highly recommend Mr. Colleran. We were assigned a rather "old school" judge who limited how evidence could be presented. Mr Colleran did the extra work to make sure the jusry understood our circumstances.

Over the years, Michael has provided prudent guidance on a number of legal issues for my wife and I. Most recently, Michael represented us in a real estate transaction. From careful review of the purchase and sale contract, making sure that all contingencies were satisfactorily met, to attending our settlement over 100 miles from his Center City office location, Michael gave us complete confidence that he was the right choice. Adding to the complexity, we were obtaining private financing which required drafting of all funding and legal documents necessary that would normally be provided by a conventional lender or bank. Michael's knowledge and expertise continue to surpass our expectations. His undivided commitment to service and client satisfaction is second to none.

My husband and I first went to Michael to have wills done. He was very accommodating; my husband is disabled and couldn't go to Michael’s office to sign the papers, so he came to our house instead. Then we inherited a house and Michael helped us every step of the way until it sold. We couldn't have done it without him. Michael is a very friendly and pleasant person to work with.

I was collecting unemployment benefits from a Philadelphia law firm. I was hired as a management trainee for a marketing company for about 6 weeks. The position was 100% client communication. I quit due to an environmental allergen at the work site.
When I quit, I tried to resume my unemployment compensation from my prior position, the law firm. The benefits were denied. Nicholas was able to provide excellent representation based on the truth and the benefits were reinstated.

I was arrested for two DUI’s a short time apart. The first lawyer I hired (not Kevin) was from one of several solicitations I received in the mail a short time after my arrests. Since I knew nothing about how this all really works, I decided that they were all probably pretty much the same, so I hired the lawyer that was closest to my home. He took my $1000 deposit, and showed up for both hearings, (which really didn’t take much preliminary work on his part). I was very concerned at this early juncture so I tried to reach him at his office several times before trial on either case and he didn’t return my calls until shortly before the first trial. When he did, he said he’s been very busy with cases that are more serious and asked why I was harassing his office, even though I had only called and left polite messages, at most twice a week, without a call back. Needless to say I knew I made a big mistake hiring this guy. So I kissed the $1000 goodbye and quickly looked for another lawyer.
Kevin was recommended to me by a relative who actually works for another lawyer. After talking with him on the phone for a short time, I had a good feeling about him so I decided to make an appointment and speak to him in person. I think I just gave him my name and case numbers, but before I arrived he had already familiarized himself with both cases. He explained everything to me in detail, and patiently answered all of my questions. Although I was, of course, still concerned with the possible pending consequences of the DUI’s, I left his office feeling confident that he was really going to do his best for me. I had been so worried about losing my driver’s license, jail time, criminal record, car insurance, job reputation, etc… I didn’t want to be concerned about my lawyer too. I do field service work so my driver’s license is critical to my livelihood. I came to the conclusion that I really needed to put full faith in my lawyer and let him do his job. With Kevin I felt I could do that, so I did.
Over that course of both cases and many trial appearances, I became even more confident that I had chosen the right lawyer. I discovered that Kevin really knew is way around the court room. He had a familiar rapport with the court officers and officials and knew the personality of each of the judges. He seemed to be well liked by them. He knew exactly how to make the system work for us, and to use a verse from an old Kenny Rogers song, “knew when to hold em, and when to fold em”. He was very versed in court procedures and legalese. He knew which of the legal maneuvers to use and at which time. He kept me completely informed throughout each of the trials and proceedings. Although I’m no expert in evaluating the way a trial goes, I was amazed at his expertise and subtle finesse.
When all was said and done, both of my cases were discharged! I knew I didn’t deserve jail time or to have my license suspended or any of the other consequences, including losing my job, that would have come with a guilty verdict, and Kevin did everything right to assure that didn’t happen. I know he knows just how very grateful I am too, from my obvious joy at the outcome.

Used Kevin for my boyfriends VOP hearing. It was a first time tech. violation for a DUI case. Not only did he get the detainer lifted and avoid further jail time, he was very upfront and honest. He did not give false hopes or make unrealistic expectations. Even for a simple VOP hearing, he put time and effort into the case and even followed up after the case to ensure he was released. He also has very reasonable prices. If you need a criminal lawyer, I would highly recommend Kevin.

Jason was great! He immediatly addressed my concerns by having me forward the documentation regarding potential litigation against my company. After forwarding the documentation, I received a return call right away from Jason stating that there were numerous legal reasons why the other parties claims were worthless, and that if he needed to defend my company, he was certain he would be able to do so with 100% success. He drafted a letter to the other attorneys directly addressing the other parties concerns, stated that he felt their case was without merit, and that if needed, he was going to defend us aggressivelly. Jason was able to refute thier claims with clear cut legal precedents put in place to protect me and my small company. His obvious working knowledge of the law took immediate pressure off of us and we did not hear from the claiments again. Thank you Jason!

I was involved in a very lengthy divorce and custody battle. I had spent a fortune and had gotten nowhere. A friend referred me to Mr. Fenerty. I was amazed from our first telephone conversation. He completely understood my perspective and he also was able to explain my former spouse's take on things as well. He explained the legal stuff to me in a way I understood it and recommended that we try to calm things down. I was doubtful but I really trusted him. He took my case. He immediately called my spouse's attorney - who he knew (oh, it seems like this man knows everybody) and things changed immediately. We went to court a few times on the custody and the divorce and succeeded every time. I now am sharing custody of my kids and I feel like I did great in the divorce. Things have gotten better with my ex and I have never been happier. I ended up paying him much less than my prior attorney who accomplished so little. He is a really down to earth guy and he really seemed to care about my case.

What can I say, sometimes we find ourselves in a tight spot. Don't take a knife to a gunfight. Scott defended me throughly and treated me with dignity, I walked away and learned from the misunderstanding with no criminal record, with the charges dropped. Maybe I didn't need "the best" but better safe than sorry when it comes to the judicial system, I hired Scott and would recommend him to anyone that is in need of a serious criminal lawyer.

In my professional experience, I have worked with a number of attorneys on a range of matters.
While many exhibit professionalism, none has surpassed the blending of professionalism, candor and empathy that Joseph possesses.
He has guided me through a sensitive legal matter that intertwined a complex set of business and personal concerns. He has also advocated successfully on my behalf in purely business matters and liability issues.
Through them all, he has demonstrated unswerving capabilities and a clear understanding of exactly what it means to be an advocate. He is a source of sound advice and good counsel, and above all...a directness that exudes an understanding of the matter at hand combined with the varying needs of the client; ranging from the obvious legal to the psychological to the practical.
Whether it being simply to serve as a sounding board or to think through contingency and strategies...Joseph is a wise man, a family man and a good man. He is responsive and communicative in a timely manner, as he understands that your respective legal matter might very well be the most pressing issue in your life, and he treats it as such. I have never, ever felt like a number or simply another manila folder on his desk.
He is someone I have come to rely on and also have the privilege to come to consider a friend.
To simply say that I could not recommend Joseph more wholeheartedly does him little justice.

Through no fault of my own, I found myself embroiled in a complicated multi-level governmental personal injury case. I was struck by a vehicle driven by a municipal employee assigned to a federal task force. I suffered significant serious injuries and loss of work time as well as property damage. I faced a legal battle against a defendant with unlimited financial resources as well as teams of experienced attorneys. In addition, the legality in governmental cases is quite complicated.
From the very beginning, Anthony assured me he would take care of me, and I should concern myself with my health and recovery, that he would handle the legal side of things. He kept me informed along every step of the way of a long, complicated legal process. His advice always came with an explanation of why he was advising of such. It took a while, but in the end I received a good settlement. I honestly could not have done it without Anthony. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a personal injury attorney. In my opinion, he is the best.

While riding his bicycle, my husband, Chris, was hit by a car whose driver ran a red light. Chris sustained serious injuries, and we knew that we needed to contact a lawyer to help us protect Chris's future, which will probably be full of pain. It was a good feeling to entrust Chris's lawsuit to Anthony's capable hands and not have to worry about the processes or the outcomes. We were able to focus on Chris's health needs and our family's needs (we have four young children) and did not use up energy on the lawsuit, as we knew that Anthony was taking care of it. Anthony was extremely supportive throughout the claim and advised us what to expect along the way. It was a true pleasure working with Anthony on such important matters. His care of Chris as a person and his concern for our whole family demonstrates Anthony's fine character, and it is clear that Anthony enjoys his work and helping others. We were fortunate to have been served by Anthony and highly recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent, knowledgeable advocate.

Without going into as much detail as Steve, my story is very similar. I am a teacher and risked my livelihood if I had been found guilty of the unfair charges lobbed against me (my licenses would have been revoked). One lawyer after another painted a bleak outlook. In hindsight, I am so grateful for Mr. Mincey's assistance. I was one of the lucky ones several lawyers said to me after I told them how my case ended. The chances that they would have been able to achieve the same results were slim, I learned later.

My name is Steve Brantley Spence, I am a financial advisor and I live in the state of Virginia. A weekend trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania changed my life forever last January 9th, 2014. Virginia is an open carry commonwealth state and I was foolish enough in my thought process and I figured Pennsylvania's laws would overlap with Virginia. I was wrong and I traveled into the city limits of Philadelphia with my 9mm handgun on the floor of my passenger seat. In the state of Virginia in order to conceal a gun you must have a permit to do so, therefore I had my gun out in the open because I did not want to break the law by having it concealed in anyway. When I arrived in Philadelphia I was involved in a small car accident. The other driver and I waited for the police to arrive and after they arrived I was arrested for not having a permit to carry in the city of Philadelphia. I was completely shocked and in disbelief that I was going to jail for a simple mistake and not knowing the law. I did not resist arrest nor was I rude to any of the officers. I was charged with a class 3 felony for not having a permit to carry in the city of Philadelphia. I've never been in any trouble prior to this incident. I graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in Business Management and another degree in Marketing. I also played football at East Carolina during my four years and we won back to back CUSA championships. I have two handsome sons, a beautiful niece and a fiancé that I love so very much and who rely on me. After I posted bail I was able to travel back home to Virginia and continue my work as an advisor. There was a dark cloud over my thoughts and life because all of the lawyers that I reached out to told me that I would have to serve jail time and there was no way around it. Mr. Mincey did not make any guarantees but he promised me he would do all that he could to make sure I would not serve any jail time. If I were convicted of a felony I would have loss all of my securities licenses and been fired from my firm and be banned from practicing as a financial advisor. Mr. Mincey took on my case and worked very hard to work out a favorable deal for me with the District Attorney's office. Kevin stayed in constant contact with me and updated me every step of the way. I did not receive any jail time. I'm on probation but I still have my securities licenses and able to practice as an advisor. The hard work of Kevin Mincey not only impacted my life but my son's life as well. A couple of months after my arrest,my son's mother was unable to take care of him any longer. August 2014 I was granted full custody of my son. I don't know where my son would be if I were in jail and not able to take him in and raise him now. On behave of my family and all of the people that depend on, we truly thank you Kevin Mincey!!!

I hired Mr. Solarz to handle a medical malpractice suit involving my father. The case evolved into a wrongful death suit. Jordan and his support team were extremely professional and thoughtful in how the case progressed and offered the kind of advice that we really needed. I could not be more pleased to have been represented by Jordan and the firm of Riddick Moss.

I contacted Mr. Solarz with a potential lawsuit and his help was invaluable. While my issue was not something that he generally handles, he pointed me in the right direction to find someone that could. Mr. Solarz didn’t rush me off the phone like the dozen other attorneys that I contacted first. He was patient and attentive with my issue. While he didn’t handle my case personally he assisted me in getting the information that I needed to pursue my claim. Very professional and pleasant interaction with the otherwise impossible-to-navigate legal field.

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 name is Sandra . This is a true story. I am a 30 veteran entrepreneur specializing in the creating and national distribution of automotive warranties. Our product development & marketing company contend with a myriad of lawsuits due to the litigious nature of business in general however especially with in the insurance industries. We had the unfortunate pleasure of working with multiple legal firms prior to working with MARINO. We originally hired MARINO's law firm based in the greater Philadelphia area in 2009 when we were sued by a large competitor in an act of competitive warfare and an attempt of unfair gain. MARINO right from the get go was refreshingly competent & different, in addition to his fierce reputation for unparalleled success with trial law. The warranty industry is an extremely complicated, regulated and multi tiered industry that is NOT understood easily to a layman. MARINO, who governed over & handled the case, not only grasped the nature of this highly complicated business infrastructure quickly, saving us THOUSANDS & thousands of dollars in time spent "educating" the attorney, Marino also had a solid & firm understanding of business in general which in turn created a synergy & flow with Client & Attorney relationship enabling us to concentrate on trial preparation & strategy as opposed to struggling to get your attorney to understand where the meat of the conflict lied. It was impressive & gave us not only hope but courage! We were determined to fight & go all the way. Watching Marino's sound & intensely calculated strategy unfold throughout the deposition process was something to experience and humorous at times when he would flawlessly, yet with poise & elegance expose one lie after another. MARINO would confuse & trap the liar with ease. It was brilliant. He was so excellent the case never made it to trial. One weeks before trial was to begin, the Competition caved & went for a settlement out of fear. We walked away with an awarded 2.5 Million dollar settlement. Rightfully so. I HIGHLY HIGHLY! RECOMMEND Marino for any legal affair, struggle or battle you are faced with. MARINO will forever be our legal advisor & warrior. We continue our relationship up until this day. In closing, sometime during the first trial preparation & encounter with MARINO, we found out through conversation that Marino was an Olympic athlete in the sport of gymnastics in his youth! The man is not only physically handsome but also has the demeanor & flair of an Olympiad in the courtroom! To me he is superior to all & simply amazing. THANK YOU Steven Marino! We sleep much better at night because of you.

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.
