Lawren Nelson consulted with me on a legal matter in which I was somewhat stuck between a rock and a hard place. He took the time to really hear me out and examine the issues that I was faced with. He provided the right guidance and did not disappoint in providing his sound legal expertise. What most impressed me about Lawren was his ability to relate to me on a personal level, and this put me at ease while facing what seemed at the time like an almost insurmountable legal hurdle. I will not hesitate to recommend his legal services to whomever might require such, as well as whomever may come across this review! -KR

What I want to say about GB does not fit here because is so much. Gabby Raful and Mike Malvay handled my truck accident and have since become family to me. From the moment that you walk in you can feel the trust and positivity. Yohalna, the paralegal in the front makes you feel comfortable. Javier the Philly paralegal also makes you feel comfortable Gabby and Mike give 100 percent. Gabby is one of those rare attorneys that text you and keeps you posted all the time even on weekends.They don't think about money, they think and give you what's best for you. You can feel the trust and security. Gabby is simply amazing, and they make a dream team. I am Gabby s number one fan. What I appreciated the most was that I would call Gabby and she would call or text immediately right back. I highly recommend them.

When I was uncertain of what todo in my situation, I was given a recommendation to go and find guidance, so I did I visited the office of Galfand Berger LLP and Gabriela Raful took me under her wing. When talking about experience the quest at hand should be plain and simple: Trust worthy Transparent Dependable And full of knowledge The ability that this attorney has to get her client what they may need is incredible. Gabriela Raful was able to get me the settlement that I deserved and that I became more than grateful for. Thank you Gabriela Raful

Bill handled a repossession case against VW financial for my father and myself in 2010 and for the last 11 years I’ve sent him referrals (and legal questions!) based on what a great job he did. Bill is super responsive, knowledgeable, honest, and just an all around nice person. Rare find, seriously!

This is the first attorney that has integrity that is impressive. He was in the Courtroom when I was about to argue my motion to the Court. He saw I was representing myself and walked over to me. We stepped outside and before I knew it he had given me invaluable advice, both from an argument standpoint, as well as from a legal one. He would not accept a fee. Finally my views on attorneys has changed (at least some)

I sustained injuries in a car accident in 2016 that required surgery and extensive rehabilitation. I knew I needed a lawyer, but had never used one before and had no idea where to turn. Gabriel was extremely helpful and answered all my questions. He was always available and promptly answered my emails and calls. He dealt with the insurance companies 100%, so I didn't need to worry about anything. He assured me I had a good case and that he would do everything possible to get me the settlement I deserved for my injuries. Most importantly, he followed through. He went to bat for me and got the best settlement possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with an injury from an accident.

I would highly recommend Attorney Levin. I needed immediate help and action to be taken, and he allowed a free consultation, after which he felt secure and ready to tackle the case on the spot. They moved as swiftly as possible, they were communicative and responsive to my questions for sure. He showed compassion and eagerness to restore justice. When it came time for my deposition, he prepared me very thoroughly, and definitely helped me feel at ease going into a stressful environment across from a much colder defense team. I felt taken care of, as he presented me with all the options and scenarios that could possibly play out in terms of securing the highest settlement, and negotiated well to get a very fair number for the case. He was very prompt and ready to do whatever it took to win the case. I would return to him in the future.

Seeking legal council for damages I sustained from a dog bite, I turned to Philadelphia attorney Dean Gay Esquire. Mr. Gay handled my case with consummate professionalism and finesse throughout the entire process. My case was settled in a relatively short interval of time from the incident, and while there are many factors at play in the timeline of any case, I know that this was due in no small part to Dean’s persistence and his way of dealing with things in a timely fashion. In the end, I felt that the process had gone smoothly, and that justice had been done, and I highly recommend Mr. Gay.

My friend contacted Dean, and despite the fact it was a Saturday, Dean spent an hour on the phone with my friend, discussing his situation and recourse in detail. I know that my friend was very concerned about his father, and the fact that Dean was so immediately responsive even though it was the weekend, as well as his compassionate and caring nature during the lengthy phone call, was very reassuring and really meant a lot to my friend. Just knowing that there are attorneys like Dean out there give me renewed faith in the goodness of the legal system. I would absolutely use Dean personally as well as recommend him to anyone.

I wanted to thank Dan Hetznecker for taking on my case and having such a positive outlook during its entirety. I feel like he always had my best intentions in mind and he was able to empathize with my situation. I also want to acknowledge him for his professionalism while handling my case. Lawsuits can be very uncomfortable and stressful at times. Dan made me feel very comfortable and kept me informed about the case every step of the way. He knew what steps to take to make my case as strong as it could be. Although, it was a very long process, in the end, he made sure that I came out with the best possible outcome. I would be proud to refer my family, friends and even strangers to him, and I am sure they will be elated with his legal expertise and courtesy. Thanks again for all that you have helped me with and being over all genuine person Sam

Gary is professional, absolutely knowledgable about the law, and works hard to collect for his clients. Unlike many other attorneys, he took the time to work with my schedule, even meeting me on a Saturday afternoon to discuss my case. I would recommend Gary to anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer.

Attorney Franko was very helpful, knowledgeable, and caring during the events of my case. I had previously hired an experienced attorney from a well-known area firm, and had I continued to retain his services over Attorney Franko's, not only would I have lost financial compensation, I would have incurred increased bodily damage from a misdiagnosed spinal injury that he discouraged a second opinion on. Attorney Franko doesn't over promise compensation, but he also works his hardest to reach the best possible outcome for his clients. I was, and continue to be, treated with respect and kindness. I have recommended him to friends and colleagues, and would continue to do so.

Anthony worked wonders for my father when he got into an motor vehicle accident in Montgomery county, PA that caused him to hurt his shoulder. Anthony is so passionate about what he does that no matter what the hour, he answered our questions and concerns with his copious amount of knowledge. Because of him, my father won his case and was awarded more money than he thought was possible. Anthony exceeded our expectations, and should we ever need his expert counsel, we wouldn’t hesitate. Thank you Anthony, for helping my father and in turn our family, deal with this unfortunate situation.

He was right on! His staff emailed me frequently to let me know what was or was not happening, and we met periodically to discuss strategy.

made me feel like a very important client and took consideration for any conditions I had at that time." Months had gone by without any help so it was time for a change. I came across John Mattiacci Attorney in civil suits. I explained to John in detail about the person who ran a stop sign, and he always kept eye contact except to write down information. John was the attorney I needed. I fired the firm who I had who did nothing. John went to work and I mean he went to work. John took on my case which the defendant knew some police officers and received no tickets. If I met John earlier I would guarantee summonses for many motor vehicle violations for this person. I know some about law as I protected former presidents, just not the knowledge John has. The real truth came out when John did the interrogatories and deposition. He used the right questions and got the defendant to admit running the stop sign, that I had the right of way with my blinker on, and the name of the upper echelon police officer. He also picked up on auto parts damage missing out of the interrogatories insurance pictures. My car had very little damage and the insurance tried to say there is no and John cut in and got the defendant to admit he hit my axle sending my car into a fishtail and the damage was to my person not the car. That is a trial attorney who puts the fear of God into insurance companies. Then came the insurance company doctors, and John sent his paralegal with me. I was comfortable with this, and Kristin who came with for my insurance exam “WOW”. I read the doctor he was not pleased. The questions were short, and the exam was not painful as they can be with their tests. Because of John sending Kristin with me on my behalf the doctor was flabbergasted, and it showed. My wife got very sick; John always asked what could I do for you. I was worn out from my own doctors and the insurance company charade. I actually felt better when I spoke with Mr. Mattiacci. I told John about myself and he said hold on it would not be long now. He did not tell me not long was less than two weeks. John had offers coming in but said not yet; we had an offer I was comfortable with and said let’s settle. John asked me to let him work his magic or he would settle if that’s what I wanted. He always asked what I wanted never forcing me. Oh his magic worked well. The amount of money is between John, and I, it was five times what I thought it would be. John is the nicest attorney until his clients are pushed. I have seen this in person in action, need I say more. When I met John I knew he was the Attorney to represent me. I can only recommend but I would go with Mr. John Mattiacci with reading this Attorney review without doubt. I had the chance to meet with several attorneys and have several friends who are Judges and Attorney’s. John was my Attorney. I have one regret, I really wanted to see John in court but my body was giving up. I was afraid to let him down. I knew the defense had no chance against this man. I told John I would not lie I had my honor, he said of course. I told him in the beginning we could not be friends something my father taught me, who was a Pearl Harbor Survivor, Police Officer and worked with judges for juveniles. I can say now he is my friend and he showed me his Honor. Mark H.

I pray that I will not have another accident - but if I do I know that John Mattiacci is the attorney that I will call.

Mr. Malloy was referred to me by one of my Sorority sisters. Initially I wasn't very hopeful that he would take my case due to other attorneys declining. However he asked me to come in and discuss the case and took it immediately. He made no false promises and told me from day one that it may be a long shot but if I was willing to fight, he was willing to fight for me....and he did! We won & the insurance company settled without going to trial. Not only did he advise me on the specifics of the case he was my attorney on but if I had any other issues, I could come to him and if he wasn't able to handle it he referred me to an attorney would could! For that I am forever grateful and will always go to Mr. Malloy first! He's an excellent attorney! Thank you Kevin Malloy!

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.
