Mark was the first attorney I had spoken to that understood my desire, not to take a plea bargain because I was innocent. The other attorney's tries to almost scare you into taking this plea. When I told mark i was innocent and could not lie in court he understood me. He worked in my behalf and he did a excellent job. He is busy but swift in his actions when the time counts he is there. I prayed for a good man, God sent him to me . His closing remarks was awesome. Thank You Mark.

My case was satisfactorily resolved thanks to Mr. Meade’s expertise in the legal profession and his comprehensive understanding of medicine. As it turns out for me it was not the resolution of my case that ended up being the most valuable part of my experience. It was Mr. Mead’s genuine concern for my family and how the process was affecting our well being. He found the medical experts that ultimately made my medical situation one that I could manage. In the end I walked away seeing Mr. Mead as an attorney I hold in the highest regard and someone I now see as a friend.

Chris Cosca is world's greatest attorney, who not only saved my husband from going to jail but also restored our faith in the legal system. My husband had been convicted of multiple felonies in the past, and when he was charged with yet another crime, we had little hope of him escaping a prison sentence. That's when we reached out to the world's greatest attorney, and from the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He patiently listened to our case and assured us that he would do everything in his power to get the best possible outcome for my husband. He meticulously studied every aspect of the case and tirelessly worked to build a strong defense strategy. Chris knows the Sacramento Court system, his previous work & relationships with the Sacramento County DA office give him an edge other attorneys do not have. In the end, my husband was placed on probation! An outcome that with out Chris would have been impossible! We were overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. We knew that it was all thanks to the world's greatest attorney, who fought tirelessly for my husband's freedom. In conclusion, I cannot recommend the world's greatest attorney enough. He is not only an incredibly skilled legal practitioner but also a compassionate human being who genuinely cares about his clients. If you are ever in need of legal assistance, do not hesitate to reach out to him.

After being hit by a large SUV while in my wheelchair, I went to 2 very incompetent attorneys before I met Mike Kelly. He is a very knowledgeable attorney, very kind and easy to talk to. Mr. Kelly also has a very big heart as well as being very concerned about his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs the services of an attorney!

Most people, myself included, have a preconceived perception regarding attorneys. I first heard about Lesley through a family member. I researched her and it was clear her past work as an attorney speaks for itself. However what truly impressed me was when we first met. I quickly realized she is truly an advocate for victims of elder abuse, inside and out of the courtroom. Her passion for fighting elder abuse was never more evident to me than when I first visited her office and she explained the backstory of a painting hanging on the wall of her office -- a painting by one of her former clients that she received as a token of appreciation. Lesley is more than just an attorney, she's an advocate. Thank you for everything!

I hired Ryley after my insurance company tried to not cover my vehicle when my coverage clearly should have paid. It was a small dollar amount but he was able to get resolution quickly with the insurance company. He was able to push back on the insurance company in a professional manner and they agreed to pay.

Ryan is a great guy and a wonderful attorney. I had a difficult personal injury automobile case to prove, but Ryan took it on and proved the defendant caused the accident. I had several injuries and Ryan even lowered his fee to make me whole again. I have referred several people to him and they all have had positive outcomes in their cases. I believe he really is an attorney that cares.

I had used 2 lawyers in the past for car accidents. One did nothing and I got almost no money. I think that guy really didn't know how to deal with insurance companies. The second guy was eager to do whatever the claim person said instead of what was best for me. My neighbor raved about Ron so I tried him. Like they say, the third time is the charm. He was really nice from the first time we met. He explained the law and claim processes to me (no one did that in the past), kept me informed about what the other side was doing, kept in contact to see how I was doing and what my doctors were doing, and then told me the best course of action, even though he would get less money! Wow. I asked around before settling and three other lawyers (my neighbor is in the business) said Ron was getting me a great deal. I was really happy. Plus, he always has a good story to tell that is not lawyer related and that made feel more at home and sure he is a real guy and not just saying things to get me to sign up. After I showed my papers to my neighbor, he told me he was going to refer all his injury clients to Ron; that's a major endorsement I think.

Trinity Attorney Service exceeded my expectations when I urgently needed 4 rush services executed right before Thanksgiving, a notoriously difficult time in the process serving industry. My search for a reliable company led me to Trinity Attorney Service through ServeManager, and I couldn't have made a better choice. From the moment I reached out, Johnny proved himself to be incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional, readily accepting the job without hesitation. Throughout the week, Johnny's impeccable communication skills shone through. He kept us updated promptly on every attempt and completion of each service, a rarity in this field where obtaining this information can feel like an arduous task. What truly impressed me was that he finished everything ahead of schedule, leaving no room for any concerns or delays. Fast and effective communication became the hallmark of my experience with Trinity Attorney Service. I wholeheartedly recommend Trinity Attorney Service to anyone in need of process serving services. Their exceptional work speaks volumes about their dedication and reliability. Thank you, Trinity Attorney Service, for your outstanding service.

This guy used to be a prosecutor. He is very good at helping defendants prove themselves over the course of time patterns of behavior that a public defender just can't offer. His drawback for me was that he was so busy and we had conflicting schedules, so it was difficult to maintain communication. Otherwise, he's an outstanding lawyer. Very good reputation in court from what I gather.

From the first meeting to the resolution, Mr. Chan was very knowledge, straightforward and understanding of my situation and truly cared about the outcome of my case. I went to multiple criminal defense attorneys before I hired him, and he is the only one who didn't judge me for my mistakes I made and treated me like a normal person. I would highly recommend him!!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I came to Eliot in 2020 after being involved in a car accident. A person ran a red light at an excessive speed and hit me. Even though I had witnesses and was clearly in the right they tried to blame me. I know I needed help and Eliot had been recommended to me by a friend. Him and Courtney went above and beyond. Not only did they do their job and take it very seriously, it was more than that. They truly cared about me and my well being. They made me feel heard and respected. This accident caused me a lot of pain from injury and grief, I could not work at the same capacity I normally did, my mental health plummeted and I was having to see Drs and go to physical therapy all of which Eliot helped me find and figure out. My case was finally finished in my favor! Money aside Eliot and Courtney very much helped me through this tough time. I can not recommend Eliot Reiner enough!!

Kirill Tarasenko was my Lawyer and worked on my Auto accident case for the past 2 years, and he was a true professional in his field in every sense of the word. He never promised me any particular results, but he did promise that he would work hard and to the best of his abilities to provide me with the best possible outcome. My case was a very difficult and complicated case, and as far as I remember, no other attorney showed interest to accept my case. My case had been turned down by three other lawyers, but when I contacted Tarasenko Law Office, Kirill accepted my case and he stated that he likes to help people. Kirill is a thoughtful, caring, and knowledgable attorney. I also consider him ethical and trustworthy , and I would not hesitate to contact him regarding legal matters in the future.

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.
