Mr. Sweeney took on a Federal case for me where history had proved it would be a highly challenging case to win. Mike took on that responsibility eagerly and willingly. His self-confidence, agreeable personality, effective and efficient communications skills were essential and constant. During many stressful situations, he responsed positively as an active listener and supporter. He worked tirelessly over the course of several years in a capacity that was always intelligent, skilled and very dependable all the way up to our day of victory. Mr. Sweeny exceeded my expectations in every way.

Michael Thomas Sweeney, successfully settled a complicated lawsuit for me and 19 other clients. Mr. Sweeney was thorough, responsive, and informative. Mr. Sweeney's intelligence, persistance, and experiece were invaluable to settle our case.
The lawsuit was against a restaurant we all worked for and the company was cheating us of our rightful pay. Through research, investigation, and many numbers, Michael Sweeney got to the bottom of it. And in doing so got us all what was rightfully ours.
I was so grateful to have a professional such as Mr. Sweeney heading our case. He is reliable, reachable, skilled, and effective. I would use Mr. Sweeney again and I highly recommend him.

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 had a car accident and I never had a lawyer before so I didn't know what to do. I can't describe the level of happiness I had after my case was done. I received more than I had hoped. Highly recommend.

I had a trip and fall accident in Philadelphia because of a raised sidewalk out front of a car dealership. I went to the hospital the next day for hip and neck pain and then treated for a short period of time. Mr. Bizzari was able to recover a fair settlement for me in a reasonable period of time at a time when I was in desperate need for money. He kept me up to date with any offers throughout the litigation process and I am very appreciative.

Attorney Thompson was referred to me by a family member for an Estate matter. He was very knowledgeable and adept at maneuvering his way around the Register of Wills' office. He did exactly what he was hired to do for the price that he gave me. I will be calling him again when it is time to sell the family home. He is also a Real Estate Broker. I cannot say enough about the excellent service he provided my family.

Very skilled lawyers who not only aggressively pursued our case but helped us understand and manage an overwhelming amount of medical bills and insurance claims. They kept us informed at every step of the way. They were always available to answer our questions and spend the time necessary to make sure we understood our options. We could not have asked for better representation from our lawyers. We felt they genuinely care about us, not only our legal well-being, but our financial and medical well-being. We would give them the very highest recommendation.

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 met Wayne under horrible conditions. A trip to Puerto Rico ended in an automobile accident. Once I returned to the states, I was referred to Wayne for my case. He makes a very scary and trying time manageable. He explains his process and his plans, and walks you through step by step. The support staff is great as well. Everyone knows you by name and never forgets you, even 20 years later. Unfortunately I've had to use Wayne's services several times, but even for issues that aren't personal injury, I know I can always count on Wayne!

I was in Philadelphia at least a year ago and I got into an accident. I needed a personal injury lawyer. I checked the yellow pages and asked my friends and family. They recommended Wayne Goldenberg. I was lucky he was able to take my case and he got my case settled within a short-time in my favor.
Thanks,

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.

Mr. Spizer took on my case about one year ago even though he and I both knew the challenges we would face in moving forward. Mr. Spizer did not waiver, he and his team moved forward with such conviction. I especially appreciated the level of communication Mr. Spizer provided... he was always willing to take extra time to explain things to me in layman's terms. I found Mr. Spizer credible and dependable, two characteristics that are difficult to find. He was relentless and unwaivering in my case, I highly recommend him!

I have worked with Paul and his partners, Jeff Laffey and Brian Kent several times on complex personal injury cases. Paul is bright, hardworking and personable. His knowledge of the ins and outs of construction litigation is second to none. I am aware that he carried the laboring oar in the multi million dollar Tropicana garage collapse case a few years ago. I can recommend him and his firm, Laffey, Bucci and Kent, without reservation.

When my family & I made that first call to the Rothenberg Firm we didn't have a clue as to what to expect. All we knew was that we were faced with a tragic situation that would change our lives forever. There isn't enough money in the world that will bring my family back to normal, but from the minute they agreed to take our case I knew we were in the best hands. Throughout this entire process there was never ever a time where my family & I were not informed as to where they were in our case. Any calls that were made for silly or just curious questions were taken with such empathy that it was mind blowing!. We knew we had the right team representing us. No one knows why we experience and go through the things that we do, but knowing that there is a group/team of Professionals that will stand by your side is Priceless!!! I tell you no lies when I say that the entire office staff played a major roll in comforting my family & I. And to the man who made it all possible... Mr Adam Drexler my family & I send you a special thank you for most of all being an incredible human being, and for amazing job on our case throughout. You will forever be remembered and your business card will stay in my wallet for life. I pray that I never have to use it again, but just knowing that i have it on me and you are just a phone call away is incredibly comforting. 5 STARS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR THE JOB THE ROTHENBERG FIRM DID FROM MY FAMILY. I GIVE 5 ADDITIONAL STARS IN EVERY CATEGORY FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND EXCELLENCE!

Carrie came into our life at a time when we did not know what to do. She represented our family in a suit against a giant pharmaceutical company. It is through her persistence that we were able to get needed services and medications and keep my husband at home and comfortable until his death. She was caring and understanding during the entire time. Without her help, the last few years of my husband's life would have been unbearable for our entire family.

I consulted with Samuel Fishman about my mom, who fell and broke her wrist. Mr. Fishman explained the situation to me and my mother and my mom’s remedies and her possibility to recover in a legal action. My mom decided not to make a claim, but I am very grateful for Mr.Fishman’s time and his very detailed, free consultation, even though due to my
Mom’s personal reasons, she decided to not file any claims.

Carl J. D'Adamo, also known as CJ, is a tenacious attorney who fought to ensure that I would receive the highest possible compensation for my injuries. I was injured in an car accident in Philadelphia, PA and suffered significant injuries. I had never met CJ before, but many of my friends had used him in the past with good results and told me that I should give him a call. From the day that I first spoke with him, I knew that he was the right attorney for me. He immediately sent out investigators to look into my accident and made sure that I knew that he would provide his undivided attention to my case. After I had finished treating and the insurance companies refused to provide a fair settlement value for my case, CJ retained high quality experts in order to help us at trial and filed suit. When we got to trial, the experts that he selected blew the insurance companies attorneys and experts out of the water! He was also way more prepared then any of the other attorneys in the courtroom! The insurance company had no chance to win! I walked away with more than ten times their initial offer! I am so happy that I chose Mr. D'Adamo and that he put in the time and effort necessary to make sure that I received full compensation for my injuries. I absolutely recommend that anyone who needs help after a car accident call the Law Office of Samuel Fishman and ask for Attorney CJ D'Adamo. You will not be disappointed!

I was thankfully referred to the very competent and ethical Mr Marc A Arrigo, Esq. by an attorney friend who heard my plight in a personal injury case. A case which for 4 months prior was being mishandled by a different unrelated attorney who shall remain nameless and hopefully never again do damage to his parties interests. Mr. Arrigo listened and advised in a very caring and knowledgeable way then picked up the pieces and persistently proceeded to successfully resolve my case. Please if you want good counsel and fine representation go to him. He is also a historian with the patience of a saint!

I had no idea my case was almost getting me deported. Thanks to her I got my case reverted and happy to say now I get to be with my kids and husband. Thank you for going above and beyond. The late night calls and the tears shed in your office which you allowed was all because you were there to help and not to benefit from your client. Thank you!

I was injured in a car accident. This was my first time involved in any type of litigation. I sincerely hope it to be my last, but I would absolutely work with Renae again if the need arises. She was helpful in explaining the process and easy to reach if I had questions.
She was very friendly to me, but she is a force to be reckoned with if you are the opposing party. I was present at depositions and found myself thankful she was on MY side of the table!
Overall, Renae makes the process as painless as possible for her clients and I highly recommend her services if you have been injured and need someone to be your advocate.

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.
