Would give a higher rating if I could. Mr. Tocchini was extremely helpful and courteous in assisting a friend of mine in the visa process. He was patient with non native English speakers and accommodating with different methods of international communication. I feel like I received much more than I paid for.

Michael Lincoln and his team are wonderful to work with. From start to finish, all was handled with respect and ease. We never saw a bit of "ego" from Mr. Lincoln. What we witnessed was pure confidence and exceptional knowledge in their field of practice.
Thank you so much for everything!

We worked with Thomas Tuohy in the Tatum Office. Thomas was very attentive in updating our Estate Plan. Thomas took the time to make phone calls and explain details. That is refreshing in the world of emails and text messages. We are now comfortable that our Estate Plan is updated to our wishes. Through our experiences with other law firms, we are very happy with the performance of Lincoln & Wenk.

My husband and I valued Paula's legal knowledge, attention-to-detail, recommendations and professionalism throughout our estate planning process. She is personable, client service-oriented and provides options for consideration. We appreciate her listening skills and follow-through.

My wife and I found Paula because my work offers a Will as part of my benefits package. After speaking with several people, it was clear that Paula knew her stuff. We were pleasantly surprised after our initial online meeting.
Paula spent time to get to know us and made an awkward and emotional process easy. We opted to make the leap and do our trust at the same time.
In the end, we love having a book and a digital copy of our documents. We have peace of mind knowing that Paula is available for questions and updates as needed. Not sure why we waited so long to get this all done.

I was thankful enough to have the pleasure of being able to sit down and meet with stephen benedetto after being assaulted at a club in old town Scottsdale and being unlawfully arrested while sustaining broken bones. I was very upset at what had transpired and knew i was in for a battle going up against a multi million dollar club. My first impression of stephen was that he was kind and trust worthy i also noticed very quickly how knowledgeable he was at his job and the laws specifically in connection with my case. He fought day in and day out for close to a year to make sure i was taken care of in a way i would feel best with not just to put some money into his firms pocket i am and always will be grateful for everything he did for me and not only consider him a great lawyer but an even better friend. I hope anyone needing any knind of legal action will take the time and meet with him becuase he will get the job done for you and its a simple as that. I did win my case and wouldnt have without his assistance .

Steve has truly been a life saver. The legal process can be scary, especially when your freedom is at stake. Steve not only gave me confidence in him as someone who knows the law, but he was comforting to me just a person who was concerned about my well being. He didn't just ask questions about my case he asked how I was feeling always made sure to take those feelings into account. I have used Steve on two separate occasions and would refer him to family and friends without hesitation. He is thorough, timely, communicative, empathetic and trustworthy. He gave me back my peace of mind during a scary, tumultuous time in my life. I am truly thankful for Steve and The People's Law Firm.

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into my case. You went above and beyond and won my case. Just when I thought it was impossible you made it possible. You gave me hope when it was lost, you encouraged and pushed me through the most darkest and devastating time of my life. You will forever be apart of my family, and thanks to you, my son and I have a future. Forever Grateful!!

Regina is amazing, she takes each case personal, is very well versed in the law and executing it brillantly. She stuck with my very long drawn out case and we prevailed because of her excellent research and prowess in writing skills. She is highly respected amongst her peers and judges alike. My case became a case law because of her expertise. I highly recommend her without reservation.

Regina is the best lawyer ever! I don't know where I would be without her. She's always there to answer my questions, and provide superior counsel. She would even call me after work hours just to make sure I was comfortable and didn't have to be at work discussing my very private matters. I consulted with several attorneys before retaining Regina Pangerl and the Pangerl Law Firm. She treated me with dignity, kindness and respect and personally worked on my case. She never judged me and always made me feel comfortable and confident in proceeding with my case. She's more than just an attorney, she is a wise advisor and a trial warrior! She won't back down when times get tough. North Phoenix location is great. Highly recommend.

We highly recommend Brigham Cluff. We were referred to him this year by a client for assistance with a medical injury matter where my husband experienced a very poor medical experience that led to adverse events. He was extremely thorough, detailed, competent and honest. More than that, we also found him to be a great balance of both excellence and professionalism as well as genuine empathy and care. He listens, he takes in all the information, and, he recommends the best possible solutions for his clients from a high level of expertise. He truly wants to help his clients achieve the best possible outcomes. I've since recommended him to a colleague in need, and, I will continue to refer him clients to ensure they're in the very best of hands. You can implicitly trust Brig and his team. Top integrity & results.

I can’t recommend Mr. Cluff and his team highly enough for anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. They turned a very stressful time after my car accident into a much more manageable experience. Mr. Cluff was incredibly professional, and I always felt well-informed. He was excellent at explaining everything and made sure I fully understood what was going on in my case. I also want to give a special shoutout to Patty, the paralegal who worked on my case. She was amazing! She was attentive, organized, and always available to answer any questions I had. Patty kept me updated every step of the way, ensuring I always knew what to expect. With their combined efforts, I felt completely supported throughout the entire process. Thank you both for your amazing work!

Professionalism was evident in every interaction, making the design process stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Blythe and Grey for their exceptional skills and dedication to their craft! Five stars all the way!

I recommend Lloyd Baker Injury Attorneys if you need representation. I was involved in a card accident and I contacted a law firm that I had used before.Not hearing from that firm. I called Baker Attorneys. Their representatives came to the hospital to get the needed information to be my attorneys. The office will keep you informed of any matters that may arise. Alex will guide you through any meetings that you will encounter . Maria knows just who to contact ,where your vehicle is , and how to reach anyone involved with your case. Everything that was explained to me was true.
Thank you much .

Stephanie has been incredible every step of the way, from the initial consult to the numerous hearings, emails and follow up on everything I’ve ever asked of her. She is professional, knowledgeable, assertive and she knows what she is counseling her clients to do is in their best interest. I’ve received incredible results from having hired her and will continue to reap the benefits of such a wonderful person and attorney.

Stephanie helped me out in divorcing after I had left the United States, since her first meeting I was able to explain everything throughly. Here team was also great in providing updates of the progress, she also had a plan b towards my situation if the first option failed. She made clear deadlines and never once promise something she was not going to able to do. It was a headache free experience for me and will definitely look for her in the future for any additional help I would need if I go back to the states.

I’m so grateful for the support I received from O'Steen & Harrison, particularly from my attorney, Kathryn McCormick. She was incredibly thoughtful, taking the time to listen to every detail of my case and fully understand the complexities involved. Ms. McCormick went above and beyond to ensure my case was handled properly. Her careful and diligent approach in presenting the information in court led to my case being dismissed. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Ms. McCormick or anyone on the team at O'Steen & Harrison. Simply put… They get the job done, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I know things could have gone very differently had I not chosen O'Steen & Harrison to represent me.

Carlene Simmons and her team were instrumental in helping me with both my business and personal BK. She really knew her stuff with her expertise, knowledge and experience in bankruptcy law. Without it, I would have floundered.
I cannot express how grateful I am to have her in my corner to overcome this immense hill and get the fresh start I ended up so desperately needing.
Very patient. Very understanding. Very professional.
Thank you Carlene!!

I was facing overwhelming debt and didn’t know where to turn until I contacted Carlene Simmons. During our initial consultation, I found her to be incredibly understanding and compassionate, which was crucial for me.
Her knowledge of bankruptcy laws was evident as she guided me through the process with great clarity. Ms. Simmons took the time to explain every step and answered all my questions, no matter how trivial.
Communication was a highlight of my experience. I was kept updated throughout my case, and I never felt left in the dark. Carlene was always just a phone call away, which provided me with much-needed reassurance.
Thanks to her expertise, my bankruptcy case was resolved successfully, and I can now move forward with my life. I highly recommend Carlene Simmons to anyone facing similar challenges. She truly made a stressful situation manageable.

Absolutely amazing experience with David on a brief phone consultation. This firm is one of the few, if not the only one that gives free consultations if you just want quick legal advice.
I didn't know how thorough he would be due to the consultation being free, but it was better than any consultation I've used in the past!!
Incredibly friendly guy and easy to talk to. I will definitely use this firm for any future needs.

I am grateful for Kristen and her services. Kristen represented my family cases for approximately 4 years. The overall case is complex needing representation with several components multiple times. Kristen was the 4th attorney that I had. The first was for the divorce; I wish I knew about Kristen then. I would have retained her immediately and likely never had to go through what I did. Kristen was up against a 'shark' of an attorney, who represented my ex. Kristen handled everything with grace and tact. There where moments when she presented the ugly truth to me in a kind way. Her knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. The only reason that I have new representation is because I moved across the country. She provided me with guidance to transfer my case. She also has great communication. I never felt that I was left hanging and wondering.

If you are like me, you recently find yourself in a difficult situation and are looking for answers. Maybe you are innocent, maybe guilty, or maybe somewhere in between. The fact is that you need the best representation possible; I can say unequivocally that with Dwane Cates and his team they will not disappoint. He personally handled my case with professionalism, care, and integrity. His tenacity in pursuing justice was unwavering. There is always a best case scenario or outcome to any legal matter and that is exactly what Dwane was able to deliver.

Aaron was God sent! Everything that happened with my brother happened so fast and the county law enforcement agency was in a hurry to hang my brother high and dry. Our family frantically searched for someone to represent our loved one with about 24 hours until he was in front of a judge on a SUNDAY! Aarons name showed during the search. Once we made the call we knew we had the right man. Aaron was insanely quick, communicative, available and caring. What stood out to me was he gave a s***! I remember speaking to him and trying to explain the situation and respectfully Aaron stopped me and said "I'm not being rude but right now my concern is making sure I am there with him in person and then we can over details later." He got suited up and drove to represent my brother with just a few hours until he (my brother) was to be seen. Aaron showed up dressed to the nines! well groomed and stood with confidence from there on out that level of professionalism didn't stop.. He helped my brother when everyone else was looking at him less than a human. He handled this case so professionally and proficiently I cannot express how much gratitude I have for his work ethic. You are where you are supposed to be Aaron and I'm sure your name will bring comfort to those who you represent. It's been 2 years and I'm ashamed I haven't left a review for Aaron, but late is better than never. Aaron on behalf of my brother and our family, God Bless you and thank you for seeing the situation for what it was. Ultimately, thank you for my brothers freedom and giving him the chance to live his life, as well as the chance to finally get the help he needed.

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.
