I was involved in an accident (being rear ended), and needed to resolve months' of physical therapy visits, repair of my vehicle, and my hospital visit the day I was hit. Although my accident was considered low impact, I still suffered a problematic neck injury needing care. Mr. Barry worked hard to resolve the matter, and kept me informed of my options. He was realistic, and honest , and always returned my calls/emails promptly. Mr. Barry saved me thousands of dollars, and I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, knowledgable, representation.

From the moment I first spoke with Victoria. I knew I was in good hands. She is smart, decisive and caring. She was always on top of deadlines and letters. I never worried that I wasn't being provided quality legal advice. I often emailed her at odd hours, but it was seemingly normal to get a response right away, even at night. She was great to work with and I am 100% satisfied with the outcome of his representation.

I had an auto accident in Sept 2013 were I was hit at a ref light with 3 of my kids in the car. Jan was not only able to get the full policy limits from the person that hit me policy but was also to go after my insurance company which was Geico at the time to go after the under insured motorist portion of it. In Feb 2015 I was involved in a hit in run accident and this time I have to sue my own auto insurance company because of all my medical bills we once again ate going for the full amount will see what comes of it. Jan does charge a little more then the attorney's that you see on TV but it's worth it he makes sure that your taken care of every step of the way. He thinks about you first. I've since 2013 have recommended over 8 people to him.

I wanted to take the time to write a review to help other's make a good decision on an attorney.
When the accident happened, my "thinking" was not clear. However, I did know the attorney we picked would make a big difference in a complex TBI case. We interviewed (3) PI attorneys that were highly recommended. With the resources the G &K Team was providing it was an easy choice. From Bob's and Chuck's finesse and Trial experience to their administrative support (Karen) we had a complete team.
They are all athletes which gives them that "Don't Give Up Can Do Attitude"
Bob interviewed our doctors, arrange a mock jury (which is very telling) and came prepared to our mediation meetings and depositions.
He is well versed in Worker's Comp and Disability issues.
We had monthly conference calls to keep the communication lines open; moreover, to make sure any new findings were encompassed into our case. It was made clear we had to be part of the process.
As was originally thought, when you are coming down to the wire, our attorney's skill and reputation was the key.

Antonio Rosacci is an excellent attorney and all around good person. Antonio helped me with a civil matter in 2009 and with a car accident in 2011. I have found his work to be both competent and efficient and his demeanor to be friendly and reassuring. Although I am an attorney myself, as I practice in a different area of the law, I feel the need to hire someone else to represent me in matters outside of my expertise. Antonio keeps me regularly updated on the progress of my case, objectively evaluates settlement offers, and gives me good advice on how to next proceed. I strongly recommend Antonio.

Ms. Berke provided me with outstanding legal representation in the capacity of civil defense counsel after I was alleged to have violated Plaintiff's civil rights. After over four years of litigation, Ms. Berke achieved dismissal of the bulk of Plaintiff's claims via summary judgment, and the case was then settled for a nominal amount, far less than it would have cost to take the case to trial.

Dave helped me out after I was in a not-at-fault motorcycle accident in which my medical bills were going to far outweigh what my insurance could handle. Dave went above and beyond to help with all the medical billing, protect me from potential fraud, and he even gave me hockey tickets! Although my case went over 2 years, he always kept me updated and helped me feel in control of how the case went. I would highly recommend his services for anyone looking for a top notch lawyer.

What's a Renaissance Attorney? He's one who understands aspects of the law outside of his or her specialty, and wants to think outside the box, using solutions from one area of the law to solve problems in another. That's exactly what Rick did in my accident injury case. He worked very hard, separating the claim into two major parts, and using different court forums. I highly recommend Rick in any serious case where efforts are needed for a maximum outcome to the client.

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.
