My case was a climbing-related incident and it's a sport most people don't know much about. None of the attorneys I called wanted to take the case. That was until I called Sean. He himself didn't know much about it either, but he took the initiative to learn more. He believed in the case . He cared about my recovery and was sensitive when needed. He made everything easy for me. There wasn't a moment I felt I needed to question what was going on because Sean made sure I was prepared and informed. He went above and beyond my expectations. Thanks to Sean's hardwork and dedication, I ended up with a settlement I'm very happy with. If you're considering Sean Phelan, no doubt he's the attorney for you.
Pleasure working with you guys, thank you!

Last year I was injured in a horrific head on collision and needed an attorney, choosing Sean Phelan was the best decision I have ever made. Sean was not only incredibly professional, honest and hard working but was also one of the kindest and caring people I have ever met. He kept me informed regarding my case every step of the way , routinely called to check on my recovery and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed to survive the worst time of my life. When I was unable to get to his office he and his wonderful paralegal came to me. When I needed assistance with my health insurance, Doctor referrals and even personal advice.. Sean was there.! When my case went to mediation Sean's skilled presentation led to a settlement that exceeded my highest expectations. I truly believe that choosing Sean Phelan to represent me and the positive outcome of my case has been life changing.

Sean took my case ,which was anything but a sure thing. He never gave up, keeping me up to speed the entire way. Mr Phelan called routinley to keep me informed ,as well as to check on my health, and made himself availiable to me without wait any time I needed him. In the end, he won the case ( they settled).To be truthfull ,after reviewing all the facts, I dont think 95% of other attorneys would have gotten a settlement in a similar situation. Id recommend Sean to my family, and closest friends without hesitation. This is not only a great attorney ,but also a genuinly good guy.

Sean is an excellent lawyer. He represented my husband and myself on a car accident 3 years ago. He did such a wonderful job. I found myself in another car accident this past year and decided to use an other lawyer (we moved to Phoenix). Boy was that a mistake!!! I ended up calling Sean to help me with my current case and he helped me with out asking for anything in return! I would recommend Sean to anyone needing an attorney!!

My wife was a victim in unimaginable assault. We trusted Mr. Becke with our best interest following this extraordinarily horrific crime and he went above and beyond. He was trustworthy, always kept us informed about where we were with the case and what he was thinking and planning to do. He was easy to reach and we never had to spend time waiting for him or his assistant to get back to us. He was well versed with the law and without a doubt put in more time studying and interpreting the law as well as preparing for various meetings that were scheduled than the opposing side did. I can honestly say he is everything you would want in a lawyer.

My chiropractor referred me to McDowell & Hicks. I found them refreshing, caring and very engaged. They listened and took time to make sure they understood exactly what was said. I never had to worry about whether they were too busy. They kept me updated, explained everything in great detail, and I am very satisfied with the settlement. I have already recommended clients to them, and highly recommend them to anyone.

I had a long-standing legal issue with my drivers license. I spoke to an advocate at the VA Hospital who advised me to talk to a lawyer and recommended Glen S. Hammond. He took my case, he won and I was granted a set aside on the conviction and a certificate of 2nd chance. I can finally get my license back. I definitely recommend Mr. Hammond!

I live in another state, and i was helping a friend retain council for a potentially bad situation. I called the office on a Sunday and the legal assistant Diane, called me back first thing Monday morning. She was so professional and helpful. She put my friend on immediately with Mr. Daniels. He was able to help him very quickly, and my friend had the best case scenario happen. He got the charges dropped!!! Thank you and your whole office for helping.

Mark Drutz is one of a kind! My wife was found unresponsive and left with many lifelong injuries in an auto accident many yrs ago! She was in a wheelchair for a long while and needed much rehabilitation! We were left with no other option than to seek out a lawyer! Mark stepped up to the plate and went over and beyond! He continues to be available yrs later for our family when we need assistance! He is a man that cares and is kind, yet is a bulldog when necessary! Thanks Mark!

Zero stars would be better. William Oleary What a money, sucking, scumbag. He had me and my wife jump through all these hoops, get all this paperwork, and pay all this money, because of an issue with Yavapai county land development. Less than one month before we’re supposed to go to court with the county, he decides he Doesn’t wanna represent us because he doesn’t have enough time. Took our money, wasted our time, now I have to try to find another attorney to pick up the case involving Yavapai county less than 30 days for court. 🖕🏼 🖕🏼🖕🏼

Believe it or not, I got sued four times and he won all four of them. His knowledge of the law, and court room presence intimidated the opposing lawyers. It seemed even the Judges respect him very much. I sleep better at knowing he is my attorney.

Won the case for me, but only after dragging it out well over a year. He even kept billing me for services rendered AFTER the verdict was announced and the case closed. He took a small $ case and inflated it until the cost were staggering!

I contacted this lawyer regarding a social security disability claim. He cancelled our appointment less than one hour before the appointment for “a family emergency”. He told me to drop by and meet his assistant who would be handling the case. I assumed he meant next time I was in town. He called back one hour later and left a message wanting to know why I didn’t keep my appointment. I called back the next day to apologize to his assistant, assuming I misunderstood. She was unavailable so I left a message. I called back the next day, and was again told she was unavailable, so I left another message. I called back a third time, and after being on hold over five minutes was told she couldn’t be located. At this point I left the message for her to please send me the paperwork to sign in order to get things working. Two days later, I received correspondence from him. Instead of a contract to sign, I received a cancellation letter for failure to keep scheduled appointment (which he cancelled) and failure to return phone calls. I don’t know how good he is as a lawyer, I never got that far.

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.
