Highly recommended. I got there name from a google search when I suddenly needed a lawyer. They had great reviews and responded immediately when I needed time-sensitive counsel with a family matter. Thomas McKinley is an excellent lawyer, very clear in his communications, reassuring and compassionate. Lawyers are always expensive but I found their rates reasonable. He was able to communicate directly with the DA and save me a lot of footwork and time, and was able to get the matter resolved without me having to deal with the court directly and provided great reassurance throughout. Well worth the money and I will call him first if I ever have any other needs

I used this firm a while ago for a car wreck and thet got me a great settlement. Recently I used them for a neck injury and they got me 1/10 of what I should have got. I was extremely disappointed and upset. I had to call numerous times to remind them I was a client and was waiting. I talked to some other firms after I received my settlement and they told me they could have gotten me a lot more money. I would rather use Edgar Snyder than these guys again what an insult the amount of money I got for a neck injury. These guys are a joke now.

I was hit by a car on November 16, 2023, and it’s been a long road to recovery. Through a friend, I was recommended to Brendan Lupetin, Greg Unatin, and their associate Garrett Trettel. They were there for me every step of the way, guiding me when I didn’t know what to do and answering my questions pretty much anytime—day or night. They worked hard to get me the best results possible and even reduced some of their fees to help me. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

I experienced a personal injury, at a business, resulting in hospitalization- surgery-physical therapy and loss of work. I had no clue as to my rights, if any. I was referred to attorney Craig Frischman. After the initial phone consultation, I was completely confident with his direction and guidance. He is the consummate professional and made me feel as if my little case was as important as a major one. He was in constant contact every step of the way, went above and beyond to assure me and direct me. Craig was very understanding, supportive, knowledgeable and had my best interests in mind. He resolved my case in a very short period of time and got the best outcomes I could have ever imagined. He was extremely fair in all financial situations. I could not have had a better attorney! He is truly all that is good when you need someone to help you through these traumatic experiences. I will always refer him to anyone needing these types of legal services. The BEST!

Hello! My name is Clyde Manns. On may 5th 2023 I was in one of the worst accidents anyone would ever want to see. I was hit be a vehicle that ran the intersection. The impact of the vehicle colliding with me pushed me into on coming traffic on the other side of the road. I smashed into a barrier and pole and ultimately totaling my vehicle. Mr. Frischman went to work on my case right away. He kept me updated on everything that was going on in real time and a timely manner. He went above and beyond and I received a settlement that I wasn’t expecting. Needless to say I’m injury free now and very pleased with the work that he has done with getting the settlement for me. I highly recommend Mr. Frischman and Rizza for Attorney services that you may need. Thank you again for all your help, support, and hard work.

Hi, First I would like to say Sorry That circumstances beyond your control bring you here… Frischman & Rizza P.C is in my opinion the most caring and compassionate law firm. They are the Best at what they do. The situation that I was in with something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemies unfortunately, had me searching for answers and brought me to Frischman & Rizza P.C I didn’t think that I would get a good outcome by hiring this law firm because of my situation Craig and Bernie and the people that work at Frischman & Rizza P.C they proved me wrong. I didn’t think and couldn’t think of a good outcome of my situation but this law firm knew exactly what to do and how to get things done. You should hire Frischman & Rizza P.C They will help you and be in your corner fighting for you every step of the way. I can’t say enough nice things for all of the employees that work here, Please take the time to give Craig and Bernie and there staff a call and let them help you. May the Lord bless you at your time of need and I wish nothing but a great outcome for your situation , Best regards, Mr. Wernecke,Sr June 14,2024

3 years ago my son and I were involved in a car accident. My son’s grandfather referred me to Lupetin & Unatin for representation for the accident. His referral came highly regarded due to him having a case where he was sued Duquesne Light for damages to his property and he won. So needless to say, I went with his recommendation. Regarding my own case, the representation I received from Lupetin & Unatin was superb. I filed my lawsuit at the beginning of 2022 and they diligently gathered all the information needed to settle the case for me and my son. It took some time, but the end of 2024, they were able to get us a reasonable settlement and they only charged 25%. Garrett Trettel was representing us and he treated our case with the utmost importance and urgency, being very transparent of the necessary steps that had to be taken along the way in order for us to cross the finish line. I can honestly say I am pleased and satisfied with the service I received from this law firm. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

I have been with the firm for about two years as my divorce is taking time due to the other party. I started off with one attorney and due to maternity leave, Bethany stepped in to get the process moving after my retainer was given. I was then assigned to Chrystal. She has explained everything well and took charge of my divorce. She won the APL for me. She answered every question I had timely. The outcome of the divorce with child support and alimony is fair, considering the laws. She will also work on my custody. To be truthful the divorce process is expensive (depending on your situation), but the experience that comes with the firm is worth the cost. The firm has been very workable and most importantly truthful with me.

I couldn't be more happier, pleased and blessed 🙏 and would refer anyone I know to this firm and attorney any chance I get. Thank you again!!!!

We had a very positive experience with Edgar Snyder and Associates. Attorney Adam Haggag and Legal Assistant Adelbis Padron did an outstanding job. Their knowledge and professionalism guided us through a process where we were totally inexperienced. They were always available when we had questions or concerns, which enabled us to focus on recovery. We are very pleased with the results they obtained and would highly recommend them.

I was able to ask any questions at anytime and always made me feel like my case was important. I recommend them fully with all my heart! It's sorta bittersweet that the case is over now. They impacted my life! Definitely go with Edgar Snyder and Associates... I don't regret going with this law firm at all. Very thankful for everyone that was apart of my case! I'd choose them again in the future if ever needed.. Take that first step and give them a call! Ask for Phil/ Stacey and Christy!

Shaheen and his paralegal Megan are amazing. After dealing with 2 different attorneys at different law firms who very clearly did not care about me or the extent of my injuries, I signed with Shaheen and it was the best decision ever. Shaheen and Megan are both extremely professional and thorough and they let me focus on my treatment while they handled the rest. I received regular check-in phone calls from Megan to discuss how I was feeling physically and mentally - that is something most personal injury attorney offices are not doing. They are truly committed to their clients and genuinely care for them. Shaheen went above and beyond and I cannot recommend his team enough!!

I cannot speak highly enough about Efrem Grail's law firm. If you are looking for professionals who are dedicated to seek justice, look no further. Efrem's experience provided great resolution and satisfaction in the courtroom. Attorney Julia Gitelman was our main point of contact. She was available for us morning, noon, and night. She was quick to respond, she was detailed, and she was dedicated to my case. I spent a lot of time seeking the right counsel and it paid off tremendously. Trust me when I say, look no further, call this group today!

I want to thank my attorney Ryan and the entire staff who played a part in helping me get my settlement done. I had limited tort and I couldn’t be more proud of the Simon & Simon team ! I wasn’t sure if I was going to be compensated for my accident, due to the fact that I had limited tort. They went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. I am forever grateful, thank you all !

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was going to file bankruptcy and was told I had to pay them $1,500 upfront, that was fine and I paid. I had other things come up that were not so good so I did tell them to hold off on processing papers. At this time nothing was done on their end, all I did was send papers in and they received them. I decided to not file for bankruptcy at this time. I reached out to them and let them know that and the first thing I was told was “no problem we will refund your money back”.. It has been over 4 months and i still have not received anything. I’ve called multiple times, I either cannot get ahold of anyone and nobody calls me back or I do get ahold of someone and they tell me they will find out what is going on but never do. I am disabled and have been waiting for my money back for months I think that is a ridiculous way to run a business you are supposed to have trust in. My advice is if you are going through hardships, and or need to file for bankruptcy please put your trust elsewhere!!!!

I was in a very bad situation and needed more help than just the Debt relief people. I wanted someone who I knew I could trust and that would not only help me but would give me support through the whole process. I knew Ken and his wife through a teaching job where I taught their 3 children. I knew Ken's reputation and Julie's. I knew I was in good hands because they knew me and my history. They gave me not only legal advice but also support throughout the entire process even into the court process which was very scary but with them behind me and their team I knew I was safe. Thanks again, Ken and your team.

Highly recommended. I got there name from a google search when I suddenly needed a lawyer. They had great reviews and responded immediately when I needed time-sensitive counsel with a family matter. Thomas McKinley is an excellent lawyer, very clear in his communications, reassuring and compassionate. Lawyers are always expensive but I found their rates reasonable. He was able to communicate directly with the DA and save me a lot of footwork and time, and was able to get the matter resolved without me having to deal with the court directly and provided great reassurance throughout. Well worth the money and I will call him first if I ever have any other needs

Choosing the right attorney for representation in a serious federal case is daunting, but we feel incredibly fortunate to have found Jon. Throughout a complex, multi-year legal battle involving multiple attorneys, Jon stood out when we needed him most—during sentencing preparation. Jon and his team were thoroughly committed, diving deep into evidence and discovery, and genuinely listened to and considered the important contexts that affected the case. It’s rare to find lawyers who care about their clients’ outcomes as much as Jon does. He was not only highly professional but also provided a comforting presence during one of the most stressful times in our lives. Jon was easy to work with and a joy to interact with, even under such challenging circumstances. We highly recommend him to anyone facing similar legal challenges. Jon is definitely one of the good ones!

My family has tried many of the "big named" lawyers only to get brushed off, ignored, and eventually ...railroaded (we get in trouble from time to time). We were referred to maknoon only to find that he has his click of clients that he takes great care of...and they seem to take great care of him. He is very down to earth, hits the books, and prepares to win. He takes the time to explain everything and seems to care. A little expensive but if you don't jerk him on money, he will fight like a dog for you. He actually seems to fight for himself because he doesn't appear to like the system. He is a little confusing at times but put him oin front of a jury and he dominates.

I was advised to contact this office, and I did. I was told that a lawyer from that office would be calling me back…it’s been exactly 30 calendar days and I have not received any calls from this office. I have left a few messages and decided to stop leaving them to see if they would call me back…still no calls. When I called today, the woman that I spoke with, when I asked if this happens regularly, advised that I must’ve “fallen off the lawyers radar”. Think I need to take my business elsewhere… UPDATED: today is 2/8/22, after being contacted by this office on 12/27, the lawyer finally calls me after I’ve been served custody paper. He commences to speak to me in a very rude manner and raises his voice. This office has been less than professional in EVERY way. I wouldn’t recommend this office to my enemy!

I hired Tulley Law firm due to some personal injuries that I sustained in a car accident, it was the best decision to have made. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined . My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Michael fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm. Thank you Mike! By far this has to be the best car accident attorney. This firm helped me through a very challenging case they were extremely professional and very aggressive. I wouldn't hire anyone else. If you want a great injury law attorney, hire this firm as your injury attorney. Tulley Law is a tightly woven network of highly professional attorneys and staff professionals who walked me through a year-long process, reassuring me every step of the way. I knew Michael Tulley was the right attorney for me the moment I met him and I appreciated him keeping me in the loop about filed papers and every little step that needed to be handled to move my case forward to absolute success.

Bernie represented my son in a case 7 years ago that had a satisfactory conclusion. With the decision of the courts it lead him to the sobriety he enjoys now. Recently he was attempting to rent an apartment in another state and he was turned down because records showed he had a felony. This was incorrect so we contacted Bernie for advice. He and his staff instantly acted on this on our behalf. They looked up his case, judges ruling, PA law, composed and forwarded a letter to him and the rental agency, and personally called them. WOW all this in a matter of hours and really shocked us was he didn't charge a fee. He was happy our son was on the right track and enjoying a life free from his demons of the past and soon to be a father. Who said lawyers are just ambulance chaser, Bernie and his staff prove them wrong. What a good guy and a great lawyer. Kenneth

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.
