Matt came on to a semi-complicated case at the request of another attorney. Not only is Matt knowledgeable, but showed me what a professional and prepared person that he is. His compassionate and caring attitude helped me through a tough time in life. I would highly recommend Matt as an attorney. He will truly work for you and get the best outcome possible for your case.

I was referred to Matt several years ago to help file/navigate a civil claim. The case ended up being somewhat lengthy, no fault of Matt's, but he always made sure I knew exactly what was going on and why it was happening, every step of the way. Matt helped take the mystery out of the civil process and made sure I knew exactly where we were. Matt is fair and ethical. He was quick to tell me what he felt was fair and right, even if it was not exactly what I wanted to hear. He is aggressive and firm, but only at appropriate levels, he is not one to be pushed around. Due to the curveballs that life throws, Matt ended up representing me on two seperate civil suits within the past few years. Both cases were successfully settled, thanks to the knowledge, expertise and tenacity of Mr Millea. He comes highly recommended. I have recommended him to both family and friends. Great atttorney and an even better human being!

My son was killed in a truck/car accident, leaving behind a large extended family. Abdul and his partner, came right out to our house and spoke to several of us and explained what he could do. It was an involved case but Abdul went out of his way to help. I was especially impressed by how he kept us updated. Most attorneys do not do that! Abdul is also a caring person. I highly recommend you hire Abdul if you want a progressive attorney who will go out of his way for you!

I was recommended to Berin from a family friend after I was involved in a accident. After working with him I see why…..He is a stand up guy! He talks to you like a everyday person doesn’t try and confuse you with the legal terminology. He came to my work to meet me so I didn’t have to go to him at all, he answered/returned all calls quick, called to check on me almost monthly, had my case closed quickly. He got me a good settlement and had the check to me right away.

Berin is a very matter of fact and straight to the point lawyer, which I can truly appreciate. He doesn't sugar coat anything and gives you realistic expectations as to what to expect through the entire process. I've had 2 personal injury cases with him, and the first one was "too hard to prove" for the original lawyers, but Berin came in, fought for me and won a decent settlement. The second one he did the same, but I was a passenger so while the work wasn't as much, he did just as great of a job. I would highly recommend him and his firm for any legal issues that fall into their area of expertise. I'm actually starting case #3 with them, on a completely different matter, I was glad to know, that even though it's not his expertise, he has someone in his firm who is an expert on it. Nice to have one lawyer/firm for all of my legal needs.

I was involved in a rear end collision 5 months ago, I was referred to Berin Fite by my chiropractor. Berin is very professional and keeps you informed every step of the way with your case. If you have questions about anything he will answer you straight and he never gives you the run around. With his diligence and hard work ethic I was very satisfied with my settlement. Not once did I feel mistreated. Plus, his office staff is very friendly and polite and that is hard to find these days. I would highly recommend the law office of Berin Fite to anyone involved in an accident or personal injury.

Hello, I just have to say that Brian is a wonderful hard working Attorney. He took my case which was very hard to prove. And he worked diligently until he was able to get me some money. I truly thought I wouldn’t receive anything or if I did it would be about $4 or 5 thousand. It was much more. I would refer all of my family and friends to Brian because they would be in the hands of someone who truly cares.

We met with Attorney Elizabeth Kamper and she put in perspective the ups and downs of bankruptcy and we definitely apprecited that. She was very detailed on what is going to happen before,during, and after the case was closed. Being our first time filing for bankruptcy, she made it really easy and straight to the point. She did a phenomenal job representing us.

My attorney/client relationship with Elizabeth started over two years ago when I consulted with her about filing for bankruptcy. She took the time to discuss the pros and cons of bankruptcy and how it would apply in my situation. She was detailed in her explanations about the process. All my correspondence with her was replied promptly and I never felt left languishing during the entire period I went through the bankruptcy process. Besides her professionalism, Elizabeth had a kind demeanor which eased my apprehension and concerns. I made the right decision in working with her.

I met Krista in 2015 when she agreed to take on my case when it seemed no one else would. My case was involving a motorcycle accident, and even the law tiger wouldn't take my case (they claim to specialize in motorcycle accidents). She was very professional and had my best interest in mind the whole time. The case lasted 2 years and 5 months with many setbacks. Krista and her team made me feel like I was their best client and encouraged me to stay positive throughout the whole process. My case started out by going to arbitration. We won the arbitration in the amount of 23k. Unfortunately the defendants lawyer appealed it and we went to trial. At this point Krista decided to do a counter offer we the defendant knowing full well that they would deny it. This was detrimental to me as if the outcome was in our favor the defendant would have to pay my attorney fees and all the taxable fees in double. Like she predicted they denied the counter offer and we would be going to court. The court system has a backlog so it was 1 year later going to court. Krista and her team went to bat for me and the trail ended up in a mistrial at no fault to her. So another court date was set for another 1 year later. Yet again Krista and her team pulled out all the arsenal they could. They called in specialists, and engineers to help aid in my case. They fault gallantly for me with the best outcome possible. We won by a jury verdict in our favor. The jury awarded 21k. Krista didn't stop there. Remember the counter offer they denied.... She went back and fourth with the defendants attorney with sanctions, fees, and costs. After all was said and done Krista and her team cut me a check for $48,288. I was shocked and awed on the phone when she called to tell me. That was more than double what the jury awarded me in the court room. I was very blessed that Krista came into my life to battle for me and my family. We will be forever in her debt, and she will always be in our heart and prayers. I will highly recommend her always and forever. cheers.

Krista handled my case after an accident in Aug of 2015. Her and Jodi worked diligently on my case and got ALL of the providers to negotiate my medical bills and agree to settlements to get more money for me. She was always available to answer any questions. It was the first accident I have had that I had to obtain counsel due to the extent of the damage and injuries and with them, all I had to do was get treatment and get better. They handled everything else and I felt she was always looking out for my best interests from the very beginning. Krista is very professional, compassionate, genuine and very efficient. I would recommend her AND her staff to anyone looking for an attorney. I am very grateful for them!

Erlichman Law Firm has represented me as well as my family members and friends over the course of 30 years. We would NEVER think of calling on any other Attorney to represent our family and friends in matters of accidents, injury, and liability cases. Joseph Erlichman is the BEST of the BEST, when it comes to litigating and winning cases, that appear impossible. He's never lost a case for me, nor any other family member or friend I've ever referred to him. More importantly he is a man of integrity, highly knowledgeable, and respected in his field of expertise. He shows up prepared to fight using all the resources he needs to WIN. The staff is professional, thorough, and always makes the clients feel they're Mr. Erlichman's only case, which is a great feeling. Mr. Erlichman is responsive, attentive, and gets results. I am fortunate, and blessed to have him in my corner when there is a need for sound legal representation.

I had a bad fall out with my business partners. When I hired Adam I was on the verge of completely losing all my shares to my partners because they had the majority vote. After our first meeting, I knew he was going to be my lawyer because he asked all the right questions. He explained what my rights were and the legality (or lack of) in what they were trying to do to me. He discussed a few approaches I could take and discussed all the pros and cons of every approach. He took all my advice into consideration when putting a game plan together. So of course I hired him. I was ready for a very long battle because it got very personal between us. I knew nobody was willing to budge. To make a long story short, it is now 6 months later and the case is over. I sold my shares for almost 10% more than my asking price. Adam is hands down the best lawyer I have ever worked with. He made me feel like I was his only client. He remembered every detail about my case every time we spoke. Not to mention he is very generous when counting his hours. I highly recommend Adam. It was a pleasure working with him

First class from the opening greeting. Stan Marks and his paralegal Coleen Chavira are nothing short of everything you want and need in an attorney. Professional, thorough, communicative, easy to contact, and straight to the point - they don't waste your time or theirs. My sister was in a horrific car accident that took her husband of over 15 yrs away from her - the only man she ever dated. Her life changed instantly because a tourist couldn't wait to see the Grand Canyon. I hired them on a blind referral (a friend of a friend of a relative), and never looked back. While the family was working on my sisters physical well being, Stan was dealing with auto insurance, medical insurance, legal 'stuff' and all manner of outside 'noise', and did so with my sisters interest first. He doggedly tracked down monies and resources other attorneys would not even had looked for. Could not have been more pleased with how things were handled and the end result. The only pleasant part of an otherwise horrific experience.

I highly recommend Attorney Carl Engstrand. When I was involved in a wreck I was on the receiving end of the other person’s insurance company, and although that company was admitting fault, it was obviously in business to cut its losses. I was left feeling frustrated and powerless to adequately represent myself without an attorney experienced in accident law on my side. Carl Engstrand was recommended to me. After I called Attorney Engstrand, it was such a relief to turn the situation over to him. I was kept updated in the time frames that had been explained to me. My questions were answered along the way. And, I was extremely pleased with the end result. It was obvious Carl Engstrand cared for the both my medical and financial compensation and well-being.

Being an attorney myself, I have high expectations in general, especially regarding representation. Without hesitation, I can report that I received excellent service and communication from the moment I called Carl Engstrand/ALG. ALG provided referrals (who contacted me before I could contact them!) who also provided excellent service. ALG also kept in constant contact with me, negotiated with a very unresponsive and difficult insurance company and provided timely updates regarding my case. It is always a nice surprise to find a business who advertises great customer service and actually delivers! Thank you Carl and ALG, you guys are the real deal!

I was injured in a work related auto accident in which the party at fault was under insured. The situation was too overwhelming to handle myself, so I turned to Personal Injury Lawyer, Jay Ciulla. Jay quickly outlined the ramifications of the case and devised a plan of action. He frequently updated the progress of the case, carefully explaining each step. I would quickly realize the medical advice I received from my insurance adjuster was woefully inadequate. Under Jay's guidance the case moved forward without any surprises and a more than satisfactory settlement was arrived at promptly. I would highly recommend Jay Ciulla.

I can’t say enough about Mr Klauer and Mr Curdie. I hired them to handle my case. All I can say is they are wonderful. If you need to hire a law firm Klauer & Curdie Law Firm are the best. They are so honest and trustworthy and work extremely hard for you. If they can not help you they will tell you up front. They are truly the best.

I had a situation where a Goliath company tried to steamroll me on an employment matter. An attorney I knew urged me to contact Richard Klauer citing his expertise - and I'm very happy that I did. I admit that I was very intimidated but Mr. Klauer immediately put me at ease, collected all the information that would be needed and put together a compelling case. The case drug on for some time due to continuances but Atty Klauer diligently stayed at the ready for every twist and turn. In the end, we prevailed! I would urge anyone to engage this attorney. His office is professional and friendly, he is very personable and easy to work with. Most of all, he's a professional and will work tirelessly on behalf of his clients. While I hope I never NEED his services again, it is very comforting to know that I have someone like him that is willing to be in my corner!

This was my first ever car accident. I’d never gone through this experience before and boy, was I put through the ringer. I was hit by a semi truck changing lanes and pushed into another semi truck to my right. I was scared, confused and this was my very first car (which I loved, so I was very sad about it haha). The moment I spoke to the team and to Chris, I felt comforted. I felt supported and encouraged. The other guy’s insurance company that we were trying to settle with fired and rehired at least 5 different case workers for my case alone. Now the company is going under. Chris. Was. Awesome. They put red tape, hoops and so many other things in front of him and he just led me through it every step of the way. During this time (March 2019- December 2019) my car was classified as abandoned, had the wheel stollen off of it, the battery stolen off of it, and some of the items inside were also stolen while it sat on the lot. Someone from the tow yard decided to steal the title on the car. I moved states. I got married. I was taking classes. AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS. So everything that could have happened during this time DID. And Chris was ALWAYS on top of it. He was so communicative and explained things to me in a way I could understand. I could ALWAYS get a hold of Chris at least within the same day and that’s something I really appreciate. I’m very grateful and blessed by Chris and the team because of the way they “held my hand” from start to finish, even through the absolute WORST parts of it. Thank you Chris!!

From start to finish, Chris was amazing. Since the moment we first spoke, my experience with his firm exceeded my expectations. He was prompt, smart, and responsive. I felt he genuinely cared about my wellbeing and my situation. Chris handled my case with professionalism and diligence. I can’t thank and praise him enough! Highly recommended! I want to say that not only will I use Chris again, (if needed) but I don’t doubt he will treat all his clients with the same high quality service he treated me with! God bless!

Steve assisted us when my wife's parents moved out of a retirement home due to being unhappy with the food. This was a "purchase" type of unit, where they paid $200,000 when they moved in but were promised 90% of that would be returned to them if they moved out. After moving out they were told that they would not get their money until their unit was sold and occupied. Sure enough, buried in the legalese of the contract was that provision. With the housing market down in Phoenix, that could be years. We found that the retirement home owners had subsequently changed the contract such that that provision had to be initialed because others had complained of being misled. Steve filed suit and successfully negotiated the refund of the deposit.

Steve Sparks educated himself so well with our case that he learned more about our products performance than we even knew. He knew nothing about the paint industry and water vapor transmission before he started but became so knowlegeable through his investigation and research that he was able to discount the claims against our products performance. Steve worked extremely hard and he and does his homework. We found him to be a very intelligent, fair and honest attorney. He kept us well informed throughout the ordeal with his findings of the false claims against our products performance which gave us hope that things would go our way. We were more than satisfied and highly recommend him. We would definitely use him again should the need arise.

We have used services of Randy Sassaman's law firm for our negotiations with a big insurance company. He was recommended to me and my wife by another lawyer, who was not able to take our case at the time. And we are so glad now that Randy and Mike took that case and pursued it so tirelessly. They prepared exhaustive arguments to defend our side and were almost successful in doing so. The judge seemed to be leaning our way, so it's still not clear how the decision went the other way. Randy suggested and we decided to appeal the case to the Ninth Circuit. Fortunately it was accepted there and Randy traveled to San Francisco for the hearing and presented our side of the story so convincingly that the case was returned back to Arizona for retrial. That was enough to eventually reach a settlement with the insurance company that helped us financially a lot in our situation. We will sure recommend this law firm to anybody seeking help with personal injury and insurance cases. Thank you Randy and Mike!

My second experience with L&R was different from the first maybe because it was a bad time or just not the right hand involved before Matt. After being assigned to my case Matt and his team fought on my behalf at first there seemed to be no hope in the case in the face of a strong case. Never quitting Matt made sure not only to continue fighting after being told we could not win but Matt and his team was able to get the case resolved in the BEST possible outcome.

I was convicted of an aggravated dui and possession of drug paraphernalia, from an arrest in 2007. The charges have been set aside and rights reinstated, but I still have problems with professional licensing authorities. Alex has been representing me when I deal with them. With his help, I disputed charges listed on a background check that I initally did not pass, and subsequently passed the background check for school. Because he helped me, I am now actively pursuing a lifelong dream in a field I thought I could never work in. I am extremely grateful to Alex, and I will continue to have Alex represent me each and every time I need an attorney. In the past, I tried to represent myself, with poor results. So far, with Alex representing me in these endeavors, the results have been the best I could ask for.

I reached out to several law firms and so fortunate to select Richard Traulsen and his paralegal Coleen. He seemed the most knowledgeable and experienced in motorcycle injuries and the settlement they fought for me showed this through. His paralegal Coleen was phenomenal she steo by step walked me through all the documents I had to gather and answered all the questions I had promptly. They fought long and hard for me and won me a settlement that far surpassed my expectations. 10/10 would recommend this law firm for Motorcycle accidents.

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.
