Mr. Dunnells was hired to help with a chancery court matter and took care of everything. The process wasn't as stressful, expensive, or time-consuming as I originally thought, and that was all thanks to Mr. Dunnells.

Mr. Jones responded to our online inquiry almost immediately then gave a great consultation which prompted us to quickly hire him. His expertise in the field of real estate law and counsel helped us to successfully counter a case from a ruthless landlord who eventually dropped the case. All while saving us the cost of flying out of state and other potential legal fees. His services where affordable, quick and constant communication. We would definitely recommend him.

Highly recommend. This team is amazing! Within an hour of retaining the firm I had an emergency situation arise and they immediately jumped into action. Everyone here works together for the clients best interest and it shows. I’ve not ever been left questioning where we’re at, or what’s going on with the case. Derek acts with integrity and you can tell he is respected in court. When the judge looks at you and says, “I hope you know you have a great attorney, because most wouldn’t have done this.”, you know you made the right decision. Leslie is amazing as well! They have gone above and beyond in ways most firms wouldn’t bother. You get what you pay for here, without a doubt.

I met Keith in 2019 after two very traumatic events happened and I didn’t know what to do or how I was going to handle everything I needed to do to ensure myself and my 3 month old daughter were taken care of. My soulmate, my spouse, and the Father of my precious baby girl had just been killed in a tragic car accident at No fault of his but by the other driver. I drove an hour and thirty minutes to meet with him and at our initial meeting he was very detailed, confident, reassuring, empathetic and made sure he had everything he needed in order to start the long process and it was a very complicated case in which not many Judges or clients have had. At this first meeting I felt completely comfortable, confident, and knew in my heart that he was genuinely helping me and my daughter and even now, 5 years later, he is the only Lawyer who I consider a friend and someone I can go to if I ever need anything else and he was by my side the entire time throughout the MANY court proceedings which were held in different counties sometimes and he never quit fighting and went above and beyond!!!!! He is honest and dependable and quick to answer his cell phone and texts!!!!
My particular case was a probate matter and even the Judge and his staff were impressed with him and his organization at every hearing. He is #1 and you won’t be disappointed ever!!!!!

The first thing I can say about Mr. Obert is that he handled my case as if I were family!!! He had my best interest in mind in everything he has done for me. Made everything clear to me as I had no idea whatsoever about dealing with an estate! He made it simple and for that I would recommend him and his firm to any of my friends or family. After everything was said and done the main thing I liked was that I gained a friend!!!! Great Guy who does awesome work!

Mr. Obert came to my aid at a time when I felt all alone and lost. He took my case and truly listened to me and heard my thoughts and concerns and needs. He made me feel like a priority, and constantly explained everything happening in great detail so I fully understood the ins & outs of my case and even my options. He fought to get the result I had hoped and prayed for, and he did so while communicating with me every step of the way. I cannot say enough about how much this man has meant to this chapter in my life. I will forever be grateful for him, and will forever recommend this kind, intelligent, hard working man to anyone in need. If you are in a situation that scares you or confuses you, I can guarantee you do not have to be scared with Keith Obert - he will fight for you, he will communicate fully with you so that you understand, and he will get you results that can change your life. Thank you Mr. Obert for being so dependable and so kind!

I selected this firm to handle the probate of my sister's estate largely due to its convenient location. Turned out to be a very fortuitous choice. John completed the process as quickly as possible and never failed to promptly respond to my questions or concerns as they arose. I highly recommend him for any similar legal services that may be required. He made, what could have been a stressful time, almost a pleasure.

Tyler Kent represented me in an automobile injury case that was clearly open and shut. The accident affected every area of my life. In August2018 we went to arbitration to avoid trial which could have been easily won. He told me that I wasn't obligated to pay any liens granted other attorneys against the settlement if I settled in arbitration I could pay those debts as I saw fit. So when the settlement check came Tyler carved out an extra large portion for himself - not even allowing me expenses to get to the arbitration or allowing for bills to the doctors in the case and then carved up the balance to other lawyers. I would have never taken the settlement by arbitration had he told me otherwise, he knew that, and outright lied to me to get me to accept the settlement. He never found me the medical care he promised and I would advise avoiding Tyler Kent at all costs.

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.
