I started with Andrew as my civil lawyer, and after frustration with my family lawyer, I hired Andrew for my family case too. Andrew and his colleague, Lindsey, are the strongest attorneys I would vouch for. Extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. My former attorney made (/forced) me a settlement to share legal and physical custody of my minor. That was nothing but a disappointment. It made my case stretch over and over. When Andrew and Lindsey took over my case, I ended up getting full legal and physical custody of my daughter while the judge was boldly against me in every single hearing and trial. But Andrew navigated the case for me and made me gain full custody of my daughter. Andrew was transparent in presenting the case. He allowed me to express myself in the court. I have to add that Andrew is very fair and reasonable in his fees and charging me. I could not think of any better service.

I had a wonderful experience working with Andrew on a recent legal matter. I called a number of law offices but eventually found Andrew to be the most knowledgable, ethical and professional with a genuine care for his clients.
After deciding to retain him, he continued with the same level of care to provide a stellar service with timely responses and helping me with the range of knowledge and expertise he brought to the case.
I highly recommend him for legal counsel. He has knowledge and expertise, timely responsiveness and great deal of integrity. Thank you Andrew!

I had a very time sensitive severance situation and requested guidance from the firm. Laura got back to me promptly, and provided me with ample context and situational suggestions to help me navigate my employment situation.
She was incredibly kind, and offered her time and resources to me during a stressful time. I'm appreciative that she took time out of her day to provide consult and knowledge, without charging me for the advice and initial consultation. I highly recommend reaching out to them for their services and they will be my first call if I need employment attorneys in the future.

I reached out to Mr. Zoucha because I was in need of legal advice regarding a potential custody and visitation dispute. Mr. Zoucha was very quick to respond and schedule an initial consultation during which he was very thorough in getting the background facts, patiently talked through the issues and answered many questions. He helped me identify that I also needed legal help in a different practice area and helped connect me with an attorney regarding an unlawful detainer case. After the completion of that matter, I had several follow up communications with Mr. Zoucha about the custody and visitation dispute and he did not charge me for that work. I appreciated his quick responses, his integrity and honesty, and the empathy with which he treats his clients.

I cannot recommend Joseph Zoucha highly enough! From the very first consultation, it was clear that Joseph brings unparalleled energy, deep empathy, and a genuine care for his clients. He was always responsive—whether by text, email, or phone, I never felt left in the dark. It’s rare to find someone so approachable and available, yet also so wise and experienced.
Joseph really knows his stuff—his advice was spot-on, and his deep understanding of family law gave me the confidence I needed during a challenging time. Beyond his legal expertise, his ability to listen with compassion and truly understand my concerns made all the difference. He consistently made me feel heard, supported, and empowered to make informed decisions.
If you’re looking for a family lawyer who not only knows what he’s doing but also genuinely cares about his clients and their outcomes, Joseph Zoucha is the one to call. He’s an absolute gem and a true professional!

I had the pleasure of working with Bradley Bayan on a family law matter, and I was consistently impressed with his professionalism and legal expertise. Throughout the process, Mr. Bayan was highly responsive to my inquiries and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the nuances of my case. His ability to navigate complex legal issues and effectively communicate with opposing counsel, even in challenging situations, was truly remarkable.
I am particularly grateful for Mr. Bayan's willingness to take on my case after my previous legal representation had stalled progress. He demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my best interests, promptly addressing each matter with efficiency and effectiveness. Based on my experience, I firmly believe that individuals facing family law issues would greatly benefit from working with a dedicated practitioner like Mr. Bayan, rather than a larger firm that might not prioritize individual client needs.
While legal services can be costly, I found Mr. Bayan's billing practices to be transparent and fair, aligning with the high quality of his legal representation. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Bayan to anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate legal counsel in family law matters.

Client reviews was how I found and decided to retain Bradley Bayan, so it seems only fitting that I contribute one to help others who are also struggling to find an amazing family law attorney. I approached Bradley with a case that has a long and complicated history and messy through no fault of my own, and in distress due to my ex's continued malicious antics. He was able to quickly decipher the facts of my case and start fighting hard for me. He is available and supportive, flexible and kind; highly skilled and experienced to say the least. It was easy to tell that he is gifted in dealing with narcissists and their enabling attorneys and quickly shut down nonsense and helped the court focus on the core issues based upon facts and history, complete with results on obtaining a ruling accordingly. His hard work enabled me to breathe easier following years of needless conflict and stress, and I truly could not recommend any other attorney more confidently. You have to be very talented and experienced to serve clients within the family court system; Bradley has all of that and more. My only mistake was not retaining Bradley sooner, as it could have saved me and my family from years of hardship and unnecessary litigation. Thank you, Bradley! You are amazing.

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.
