Jim Johnson represented me in a dog bite case. He went above and beyond in working with me, bringing my case to a conclusion that exceeded my expectations. He also supported my desire to help stop others from being attacked by the dog. He was unfailingly kind and extremely professional. I strongly recommend Jim and would definitely hire him again if needed.

My experience with Kristy Beasley and Tyler Ellenberg was very easy and efficient. They made the process as smooth as possible leaving me with clear instructions on what to do. Communication was super easy and I felt like I could get a quick response with any questions/concerns I had. Overall I had a great experience and trust them with any legal concerns!

Highly recommend Dement Askew & Johnson’s Attorneys office to anyone seeking highly professional and qualified experts that actually care about your case or particular situation and will go above and beyond to accomplish the best possible outcome. I was represented be Tyler C. Ellenberg who patiently handled my case with an excellent demeanor and as I personally know how busy attorneys can be, he treated my case as if it was priority and did everything in his power to yield results that couldn’t be better. I don’t usually leave reviews but I can’t help but brag about the exceptional service I received with hope that others will read this and benefit from a law firm that’s genuinely top-notch and actually wants to help people. Thanks again for the wonderful experience and well-pleased results.

Absolute Scam and Unprofessional Behavior Jeremy, I hired you to help with a bogus speeding ticket, where I have clear dash cam footage showing my speed, location, and the officer’s actions before and after the stop. The officer claimed I was going 80 in a 45, wrote the wrong location of the stop, and the speed limit on that road was actually 55. My speedometer was at 61, clearly shown on the dash cam. Yet, you had the nerve to tell me you could “maybe” reduce the ticket to a 14-over, despite knowing the entire ticket was a joke. After this ridiculous introduction, I called the very next day—over a month before the court date—and requested a refund. Your desk lady assured me I’d get a full refund. But today, I get a call telling me the case was continued (even though I fired you), and now you’re only offering half of my payment back because you “spent 20 minutes” on my case? That’s a load of crap. Then, to top it off you have the audacity to threaten me with legal action if I dispute this scam through my bank. You’re not even competent enough to handle a simple case like this and now you’re acting like a crook. I honestly feel bad for your firm that you’re so desperate for this money, but I’ll be sure to keep on sharing my experience the community. Keep the half—you clearly need it more than I do. Shameful.

I got into a bind and was reluctant at first because of prices. I saw Mrs . Lacy H online and after already seeing great reviews I decided to reach out via email to discuss my case. Mrs. Lacy was very understanding and was very willing to negotiate my price as well being that I could have well spent over 1,000 is dollars I ended up paying only roughly 5-7 hundred. After a few emails back and forth she was very straightforward and helpful regarding possible outcomes and reassuring me every step of the way and showing up promptly to my case. I felt very validated. Thanks for helping me get the best outcome for my case .

It has been an honor and privilege to have Sonya Dubree represent me for 2+ years throughout my divorce process. I am deeply grateful for her expertise, compassion, and dedication. Sonya's partnership with Tharrington Smith (THS), alongside Steven Mansbery's representation, allowed them to expertly manage my divorce case, including the complex business and financial aspects involved. Their exceptional efforts led to favorable outcomes, including temporary spousal support, successful contempt motions and orders, attorney’s fees, and alimony. Although delays were unavoidable due to the defendant’s non-compliance and intentional obstruction—even in defiance of court orders—Sonya and Steven navigated these challenges with remarkable skill and professionalism, ultimately securing significant victories on my behalf. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Sonya, Steven, Monica, and Carolynn for their outstanding work during my alimony trial. Sonya’s opening statement was deeply compelling, compassionate, and credible, showcasing her commitment to my best interests. She excelled in cross-examinations and demonstrated genuine care and understanding when questioning me. Steven’s dedication, exceptional handling of expert witnesses, and strong expertise in complex financial analysis were invaluable in addressing the business, accounting, and economic aspects of my case, giving me confidence in his advocacy. I also appreciated Carolynn’s support throughout the hearing; her presence made a meaningful difference, strengthening our case. Together, they navigated the defendant’s tactics with finesse and crafted expertly tailored filings. The diligence and commitment of the THS team have not gone unnoticed, and I am sincerely grateful for all they have done for me. I feel truly fortunate to have had their representation. Throughout this process, I developed a strong bond with Sonya, who not only fought tirelessly on my behalf but also kept me grounded, providing both expert legal guidance and compassionate support. She is an exceptional attorney and a wonderful person, and I am deeply thankful for her. Despite the frustrations—particularly with the defendant’s failure to substantiate financial claims and expenses—Sonya and her team offered me something invaluable: hope for the future and a sense of peace as this chapter nears its close.

One of the best experiences if not the best with a lemon law attorney, and I had two previous experiences. He gave me very sound advice, and it was free which was strange and unexpected. He was genuinely looking out for my best interest. Additionally, he was calling me nearly every 2-3 weeks to check on the status of my matter, which he did not have to do at all. Again, all this was new to me and to my previous experiences with attorneys. I would definitely use his services and expertise in the future if I ever need it without any hesitation. Very highly recommended. M. Bassiouny, MD.

When I first came to Travis, I was confused and lacking confidence with the Workers’ Comp legal system. Prior to speaking more about Travis, please allow me to explain how I had a 2nd chance to receive excellent legal representation, and meet Travis. My original attorney (not Travis Payne) felt my case had become too complicated, and asked me to settle for what I felt was an inappropriate amount, or pay him more $ money than the previously agreed upon rate. This 1st attorney contacted my former employer’s legal team, and let them know I was soon to be without representation. I felt this was likely done to scare me into paying this attorney what I felt was borderline extortion. Maybe this money was needed to keep up the payments in the opulently decorated fancy facility? What I do know is within days, I received packages of files containing literally hundreds of legal documents. My former employer indicated since I was without an attorney, I would have “X” days to answer many questions or else. I felt I was incompetent to represent myself, and felt I was being intimidated by my former employer. I was under tremendous emotional stress, and suffering from physical pain trying to recover from a serious workplace injury. I was feeling nervous, and knew I didn't have the skill set to manage my case. Unable to think clearly, I contemplated simply dropping my case. After a few less than friendly phone calls from people representing my former employer, I began seeking representation again. I called several attorneys, but struggled to find someone who seemed to care or had sincere interest in my case. I learned some workers' compensation attorneys only seemed interested in easy cases where a person had lost a limb (or worse) during an accident. I was glad I hadn’t lost a limb, however began to feel my situation was hopeless. Here's the good part. I thank my lucky stars for having the opportunity to speak with and meet Travis Payne. When I first met him, he came down the stairs of his modest facility, and had on a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt and jeans. 20 minutes later, I realized I met a true Salt-of-the-Earth Dude. In an hour, Travis taught me more about my rights than my previous attorney had in nearly a year. Travis even advised me of benefits I should have applied for months prior to meeting him. Travis told me, “Write this down, this is really important. I can’t believe your previous attorney hadn’t advised you to, but you still have time.….” Well, I felt and still feel Travis was a well-timed gift. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to truly thank him enough. He advised me during our 1st call I had a strong case. He was honest, and said it would be a lot of work, but he'd be happy to help. He organized my case quickly, and instructed my former employer to stop contacting me. What a relief! Travis’ team was outstanding! Angie in particular was always exceptionally kind. They sent me a copy of all communications to my former employer, and I never felt in the dark. They also never pressured me to settle. Travis is not a doctor, however his handling of my case genuinely helped my emotional health. Later, my case settled for 800% more $ than the previous attorney asked me to accept. Plus, thanks to Travis’ professional advice, I continue to receive very necessary benefits which I wouldn’t have known I qualified for were it not for Travis’ compassionate, honest, professional advice. Regretfully, I remain permanently disabled, however am able to live above the poverty line thanks to Travis’ ability to advocate for me, and help me see the big picture. My only regret would be not having gone to Travis 1st. I have referred family and friends to Travis, because I feel his rare combination of Honesty, Caring, and Fighting skills are truly hard to find. If you’re finding yourself like I was, and simply unsure what to do with regard to your on the job accident, I would highly recommend calling Travis first.

Approximately 7 years ago (2010), I was injured while working. My employer did not deny any claims and arranged for the medical care that I needed. Unfortunately, after several surgeries, it became clear to my doctor that I would not be able to return to work in the capacity that I did before the injury. As such, my employer started the conversation regarding medical retirement. Up to the point of retirement, I didn't feel that I necessarily needed an attorney. However, when I started moving towards the inevitable medical retirement, I retained Mr. Payne. I was impressed with him, even before hiring him. I remember calling/emailing Mr. Payne if I had a question about the work comp situation. This was BEFORE I hired him to represent me. I think it says a lot about his character and his desire to help people that get into situations like I did. After retaining Mr. Payne, he walked me through my journey of retirement at age 27. His knowledge of the work comp system is quite impressive. I must also add that I met with 2 other attorneys before retaining Mr. Payne. The others that I contacted just seemed to really be a little preoccupied with other cases. They also were not familiar with my employers medical retirement process. However, Mr. Payne knew all about the medical retirement stuff with my employer. I am in my 4th year of retirement, and, to this day continue to have Mr. Payne represent me. He has a wealth of knowledge because he has been doing his job for many years. I have been to hearings with the industrial commission and was very pleased that he grilled the Vocational Rehab folks. I would certainly recommend Mr. Payne to anyone dealing with work comp mess.

I was referred to Eldreth Law Firm by the NC Bar Association and I felt that the attorney answered everything they could during my initial consultation on a real estate matter (instead of trying to draw more money out of me). I later retained them for a related matter and Attorney Eldreth did a ton of work looking into the specifics of my case. It turned out that I wasn't likely to prevail. Instead of generating billable hours on futile actions, they were straightforward with the news and even refunded my initial retainer. I appreciate that they took my case seriously and I appreciate their integrity when they discovered it probably wasn't going to end in my favor. I'd highly recommend them for real estate matters, and they would be the first I would call if something came up under their areas of expertise.

I highly recommend this Attorney. He is very professional, keeps me informed of the case and is very dedicated and hard working. He is patient and looks at the long term effects of the possible outcomes. Again I highly recommend him and so does my Son.

Mr. Cecil was extremely helpful to me on a case involving my daughter. I called Mr. Cecil in the morning, he was not in so I left a message. He called me back on his lunch break. I explained my situation and he said he would look into it and call me back as soon as he could. Mr. Cecil called me back at 5:00 with the good news that my case was now closed and another case with my daughter (that he wasn't even working on) was also closed.

Mr Cecil represented me on a Deferred Prosecution Revocation. Everyone said we wouldn't win this case, and that my deferred would be revoked. I was down and out, and didn't know what I would do. Mr Cecil went in, and presented our case, and we won! Many attorneys told me they've never seen an attorney win one of those cases. Sean Cecil helped me get a second chance at complying with the terms of my program, and it has truly changed my life. I now have a 10 month old son, and just recently started my own business. Life Is Good! If you want an attorney who will keep you informed, and present a strong case on your behalf, then I strongly recommend Sean Cecil.

I don't even know where to begin. I was injured 33000+ ft in the air during a flight. I did not know what to do first after dealing with doctors, surgeons, and nurses while trying to heal. I called a large legal firm that advertises in North Carolina to see if they could help me. After being grilled like I was the problem, my sister-in-law who lives in Memphis, researched attorneys in my area and gave me a choice of 2. Well I called James Crouse and the first thing he told me was that he would help me put a letter together for the airline and he would do it for free. Then he said "you don't have to go with me as your lawyer, but you will need a good lawyer in order to handle the big airline." I felt so taken care of and he was very honest about everything from the start. He worked on my case for over 4 years. He prepared my husband and I for everything that could happen. Jim came to our house when I could not walk and he continued to come to the house when I was healing. I could ask him any question and get an answer even if it was one that was not in my favor. I never want to have to go through something like this again, but if I have to, I will call Jim as soon as possible. Even opposing counsel liked him and that makes a huge difference in the outcome of a case. Just FYI...... he has entertaining stories about his life that go on for days! He kept me on my toes. Thank you Attorney Crouse!

I contacted Jim Crouse after my husband was killed in a small plane crash while learning to fly. If tthe accident were due to equipment malfunction, I wanted to keep it from happening again. Jim relentlessly investigated all angles and exhausted all resources while remaining kind and sensitive to my concerns and desires. While we weren't able to determine a cause, Jim obtained a satisfactory settlement with one of the flight instructor's insurers and I am confident our best effort was made. I would recommend Jim for his professional expertise as well as his personal sensitivity. I'm grateful to Jim for his help during a very difficult time.

I had the opportunity of working with Mr. Crause regarding a FAA infraction. The case was complex and required many hours of research and fact finding. Many times I had thought that we had came to a dead end road. These roadblocks had given me the feeling of wanting to give up. Somehow, Mr Crause was able to put it in four wheel drive and go through these road blocks. His knowledge and ability to keep me focused was something I never expected out of a lawyer. He was also able to relay a peace of mind in an otherwise troubling situation for me. Being such a complex case, I was worried about the ability to pay for the services. Mr. Crause was able to consolidate and multi task using every available minute in each hour. These tactics reduced the bill beyond my expectations. We have finished work on my case but still stay in touch over the months. This is just another reason why I am writing this review and recommend him to everyone I talk to in the aviation community.

Had the pleasure of working with Mr Williams. Upon his hiring, he was very thorough in explaining all details to the processes we had to go through as well as actions to be taken. He remained in touch with me to provide updates. Documents were frequently sent for my own review and he always remained responsive during the entire time. He had his work cut out for him due to the case having many obstacles and I was not sure of the outcome. However, Mr Williams remained confident and pursued every conceivable option on my behalf. In the end, he was able to obtain a healthy settlement for me which I did not think possible. I am very grateful I decided to work with this firm. Everyone there was knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. I am very appreciative of the outcome.

Attorney Williams represented me in an auto accident case. As an attorney myself, at first I thought I could handle it on my own. After he agreed to represent me, I felt a big sense of relief not having to deal with the insurance company on my own. Attorney Williams and his staff were very responsive and kept me in the loop, giving me much appreciated, objective advice. The settlement package they created looked better than anything I could have done. I am so pleased with the results in my case that I will continue to recommend this firm as always.

After the termination of my attorney-client relationship with prior firm I was in search of an attorney to represent me and my rights. We met, reviewed my claim and discuss our expectations of an attorney-client relationship. I hired attorney Williams to represent me in my personal injury case. He was straight forward and informative, when explaining the many details to process our case. He was honest, didn't mislead me and fought for my rights. I was pleased with the outcome of my personal injury settlement.

He called me to introduce himself to me and asked for what he needed. He was courteous, knowledgeable and confident. He discussed my options and the details in depth.

My expectation of working with a lawyer for a medical malpractice suit was not a pleasant one. Marc Downing quickly changed my expectations. I originally dreaded the process, but immediately felt better as Marc Downing reviewed my paperwork expediently. He put attention to the details of my situation, he pulled out the pertinent portions of my many notes and he contacted a medical expert to strengthen my case. All meetings, phone calls, and emails with Marc Downing were communicated with specifics. He helped me understand the procedures and assured me how he and Wilson Law was working diligently to get the compensation that they felt I should have. I appreciate that. I am glad I met Marc Downing and the whole team at Wilson Law. You can expect quality legal help if you choose Wilson Law.

He was so knowledge about my mother's case the laws and very specific with information gathering and helpful through our whole consultation. In the end we were not able to move forward with a viable case but he made all the recommendations for us to move forward in our quest. We appreciate his knowledge, guidance and compassion during this very difficult time in our families lives. If myself or anyone in my family ever needed a Medical malpractice lawyer he would be the first person I called. Thank you Marc, we wish you and your practice success in all that you do.

My worker's comp case began in 2005 while employed with the state. It dragged on forever as I was shuffled doctor to doctor and given the run-around. I was not hurt seriously enough to warrant a court hearing but did need advice as to how to bring my case to closure and still receive a due impairment award. Ben didn't know me and still took the time to properly advise me so that I could handle the case on my own. Because of him, my case is finally coming to an end. He provided me with the proper information to be able to negotiate with the worker's comp company. I was so impressed that he was not concerned about what was in it for him but what was best for me. He is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. He is not an ambulance chaser. Thank you, Ben!

If you been hurt on the job or need a lawyer for any reason, I would highly recommend Ben Whitley. In the court room he'll show just how smart and knowledgeable he is. He comes well prepared with evidence, questions and answers. He can discredit just about every witness the other side has. He is strong, confident and never nervous, and neither should you with him on your side. He will have you well prepared to face your obstacles. The moment he starts to speak you will feel his confidence and you will see the opposing lawyers facial expressions change. After working with him on my case, which we won thanks to Ben and his staff, we are not just a client and a lawyer, but we are friends! When you work with Ben Whitley you will have a new friend for life!

Taylor has been a very trusted advisor to my business for more than 5 years. He understands the complexity of issues and is quick to communicate the limits of his own legal understanding of specific topics. Importantly, the next you speak with him, he often knows a great deal more about those areas where he felt he was lacking. That shows enthusiasm, energy and integrity - important values that are the foundation of his practice. Taylor is also a fine communicator - often pointing out the nuance of specific agreements and areas where we might be concerned. This quality was particularly helpful in my most recent agreement with a longtime business partner. Additionally, Taylor successfully advised me through a difficult negotiation with Chinese business partners that required special attention to international laws governing disputes and arbitration. He understands these areas quite well now because my agreement required him to do so. I trust him and could not offer a stronger recommendation of his services and practice. He's a good man.

I had a 5-star experience with Brent Adams and Associates. Specifically, Attorney Diana Devine is amazing. After fighting with the insurance company and suffering with pain for over 2 years, my case was sent to her in the litigation department to take it to court. She called and spoke to me often, even gave me her personal cell phone number. Every step and process that came up we had a meeting beforehand that she explained everything so I could understand and helped me mentally prepare for what the defense would say or do. In the end we spent several hours together at a mediation, and she argued to settle my case for more than what I expected. I am very satisfied and would recommend any one with a personal injury case to call Brent and Associates. If I ever have another case (hopefully not) or know someone that might have a case, I will call Diana for help.

After being hit by a car and seriously injured, I was offered a settlement by the insurance company of the person who hit me. I wasn’t sure if the settlement was appropriate, so I consulted with Bill Bystrynski and he agreed to represent me. Bill was successful at obtaining a settlement that was much higher than what I was originally offered. Bill is a knowledgeable, competent, and skilled negotiator. I appreciated how he explained the legal actions he took and how he kept me informed throughout the process of reaching a settlement. In addition to his legal skills, Bill is a very kind and caring person. He communicated his genuine concern for me and his desire to obtain the compensation he believed I deserved for my injuries. Needless to say, I was very pleased with how Bill handled my case and with the result of a settlement that was significantly higher than what I was originally offered. I had a very positive experience working with Bill Bystrynski and I highly recommend him for both his expertise and for his personal skills.

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.
