Mike handled my car accident in which I was the Plaintiff. I was kept abreast of everything, of our status, he had great recommendations for me regarding my case and we were offered a settlement in terms of right around where he projected we would be at. His assistant Caren is also very thorough and competent. No complaints here. I would recommend Mike to anyone for your personal injury or medical malpractice suit.

If you are in need of someone that will be invested in you and your case from day 1. Provide you with intelligence, grace, encouragement, understanding and most of all non-judgement, then look no more. Mike is our "saving grace" he kept in constant contact with us and we were well informed each step of the way.
When you have to focus all your attention on getting well, trying to grasp all the medical terminology that is now thrown at you, along with trying to figure out your new normal, the last thing that you need is to try and decipher legal jargon. That is where and when you need to have a trustworthy person who is working diligently on righting a wrong. Mike is that person. He was instrumental throughout our journey of seeking peace of mind and in the end he righted a wrong for us. Thank you Michael Rainboth for making a very difficult situation a lot less painful to deal with. You are forever in our hearts and wish you and your family the very best.

I've highly recommended Tim to several friends and family who need an attorney they can trust. Personally, I've hired Tim several times for personal and business representation. With his experience, knowledge, and help, my business saved over $5,000 in a case against us. He's also helped me with sorting out corporate and "partner" issues. I sleep better at night knowing Tim is in my corner when legal issues arise.

Brent made the complex process of applying for U.S. permanent residency much more manageable. He was patient, thorough, and took the time to answer all of our questions (of which there were many!). We recommend working with Brent for any immigration needs that you might have - his years of experience and familiarity with USCIS processes are second to none.

Brent has been an invaluable asset and advocate for myself and my husband throughout our entire immigration journey. We began working with Mr. Poirier during early 2020 and are just finishing up with him now as we await the naturalization oath ceremony. Brent's knowledge and advice is worth its weight in gold. He prepared seamless applications for us and was always available and reachable for any question—big or small. Do yourself a favor and hire a professional to navigate the road to immigration and citizenship with you; it will save you the most precious resource of all, your time. Thank you Brent and God bless!

After telling Laurie about my neurological disability she tried to financially take advantage of me by putting a different price in the contract than what we discussed thinking I would not notice. When I confronted her about it, she refused to respond to me. In my first conversation with Laurie she was using vulgarities and then complained to me about how another client is trying to get their money back. Extremely unprofessional.
Laurie later decided to withdraw from me case when I had asked her to hire a PI to get necessary paperwork for my case as I was unable to get it myself. Laurie refused.
I tried to fight Laurie withdrawing from my case and we had a hearing. At the hearing Laurie LIED to the judge twice stating that I gave her less of a retainer than I really did and then told the judge that I signed a contract that I in fact did not sign. Then Laurie attempted to tell the judge about our conversations in email that are part of the attorney client privilege.
Laurie has about the same integrity as Saul Goodman. She is a CRIMINAL Lawyer and should be disbarred.
Because of my terrible experience with her I made a website to warn others about her where I explain in more detail about the atrocities that Laurie has committed. Please come view my webpage at https://laurielacoste.com

I began working with Attorney LaCoste before she went into practice for herself and I recently retained her again. Her knowledge of family law, including complicated financial components such as QDRO as it pertains to retirement plans and pensions is stellar. She is compassionate but direct and clear, laying out the process that lies ahead and really customizing responses for what is best in your unique situation. She is the solid and reliable resource you need when you are in the most chaotic time of your life.

John eats a lot of beans and hotdogs during his zoom meetings. I heard he only wears suits on the top half of his body and has underwear on the bottom half during zoom calls. However, he won a case for me when I robbed the local bank of my town. He’s a good man, the Amy is cool she doesn’t eat as many hotdogs as John, she is healthier and smarter. She helped my 3rd wife get custody of her step children. It was a bit expensive though.

My experience with Mr Murphy was not a good one. I engaged Mr Murphy in August 2022 it took until the end of November to produce a half page “demand letter “ that that had no reply date and no return receipt. I found out in January 2023 that the other party denied receiving any contact. When questioned about this, Mr Murphy resigned. He sent me an email stating he could not represent me due to “communication issues.” An honorable man would have returned all fees for non-performance.

Having spent several years working at the largest law firm North of Boston, I feel fortunate to have Ken Murphy as my attorney for both business and family law. Ken is a gifted, brilliant attorney who is responsive, knowledgeable, respected and overall - an exemplary attorney. Ken has assisted me with a myriad of legal issues - from business related issues to most recently - a tragic family accident. When Ken learned of my family members tragic accident - he reached out to me and offered guidance while I was out of state. His recommendations and support at a time of personal crisis - something I will never forget. The advice he provided - impactful and more than I could have asked for. Again, during this time of crisis, I feel fortunate to have Ken on my team!
As a businesswoman and owner of small agency - and Seacoast resident for 23 years - I am constantly communicating and interacting with people all day long. If a professional colleague or peer should bring up a legal challenge or crisis - Ken is always my referral and go to guy. Professionally, he has "come to the rescue" of many friends who might not have sought legal help or have received the legal service or advice they deserved. He is compassionate and always available. It is clear that Ken loves what he does. He has gone above and beyond what is expected of an attorney - he delivers winning results and always puts the best interest of his clients first. Again, I feel blessed to have Ken Murphy as my attorney.

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.
