Every person I’ve spoken with welcomes questions and is genuinely interested in my case and is concerned. I appreciate that. I don’t feel like just a case number.

I can honestly say I was completely satisfied with the work Mr. Bretz did for me. He took an interest in the case, kept me up to date with what was going on, and was always a straight shooter. Most impressively, when one particular "requirement" came up for the dispensation of the case towards a certain outcome, that I was NOT particularly thrilled about, Mr. Bretz got that requirement tossed out. So that all I had to do was pay my required fine. And I was even able to do that in two payments, due to my challenging financial situation. So, the outcome was totally favorable, and I would absolutely recommend Bretz Legal if you find yourself in any kind of driving situation that may look bad at first. Mr. Bretz did right by me, for sure...

To adam Gizzi Thanks so much for helping me with my injury. Case in the beginning, I was so nervous about the Ian result after the medical Bills started adding up and it became higher than the settlement itself. But Adam, you made me feel comfortable in knowing Everything would be done possible to bring the medical bills down and I was able to get me a nice settlement check. And was satisfied with the amount of the check.Thanks again Adam and your team.I would give you all ten stars

I first became aware of Henry "Hank" Miller when I met my now wife who was in a child custody battle. Hank Miller was appointed as the guardian per the court.
The father in the custody battle failed multiple drug tests. The father was put on supervised visitation for a period of time. Following that period the father took another drug test and still failed terribly from there the answer that we got from Hank Miller was that even though he failed the drug test again we should give the father MORE privileges and gave him UNSUPERVISED VISITIATION. His answer to most everything was "well we just really go backwards".
So Hank Miller thought it was a great idea to take a child and allow the child to go with a drug addict who had just failed a drug test and give the drug addict unsupervised time with the child.
Hank Miller seemed to support the drug addict father more than the mother who never failed a drug test and was raising the child on her own at this point.
Once a relocation motion had been initiated for the mother and son to move out of state, Hank Miller even fixed his mouth to say that "even if it is better for the child to go with the mother I cant support the move."
THIS IS EVEN WITH THE FATHER ONLY SEEING THE CHILD ON SUPERVISED VISITATION FOR 4 HOURS A WEEK / 16 HOURS TOTAL FOR A MONTH.
Hank Miller does not care about the safety of kids nor does he care about the people that are doing the right thing in the case. NEVER TRUST THIS MAN.
TOTALLY INEPT AS A GUARDIAN.

While not going into the details of my specific legal affairs, I wanted to share that my working experience with Bill Grant and Hank Miller at Grant, Miller & Smith, LLC has been truly outstanding. Their depth of knowledge and experience, professionalism, willingness to spend the time to understand all aspects of the case, and calm demeanor in the heat of a legal storm are attributes I found incredibly important to an outcome that I was pleased to achieve with their support. I highly recommed these very capable professionals.

Mr. Morris was very professional and knowledgeable. My son was facing a very lengthy sentence because he was accused of a crime. Mr. Morris got to the bottom of the situation and got the charges dismissed. I loved the fact that when I called him I always got an answer or text with answers to any questions I had.

The customer service and the overall lack of information regarding my case has been horrible. They don't take the cases seriously. I have left numerous messsages and voicemails for someone to get in contact with me regarding my case and still not reply. Horrible experience, waste of time, and will be taking my case elsewhere.

I had hired Mr. Burns after he had told me he could help me with my case of discrimination in the work place. He collected over $1300 from me, and then disappeared, leaving my case open. He contacted me a few months after and said he was shutting down his firm and would send me paperwork to release him of his responsibility of being my lawyer. I never got any paperwork and he doesn't return my phone calls about a refund. Be careful when dealing with this guy, he is a very dishonest man.

John is currently representing me in a discrimination in the workplace case. I find that John is very approachable, responds to my calls personally and is committed to a positive outcome. I made contact with other attorneys and often felt as if me or my case wasn't of a significant enough nature for them. I feel that meeting John is a blessing for me and his work ethic and commitment give me hope that my situation will be rectified. I would recommend John to others without question or hesitation.

Got my case settled for FAR more than even the other lawyers I know ever thought was even possible!!! I was in a bad car accident in St. Charles County and was in a lot of pain for months afterwards. I happened to bump into this lawyer I know, Thomas SanFilippo and he immediately knew exactly what to do. I wish I would have called him sooner, right after the wreck! He and his team were great to work with and I was able to get excellent medical treatment (which they made sure the person who caused the accident’s insurance company paid for) Definitely 5 stars.

What can I possibly express in words about Holland Law Firm? Absolutely nothing, simply because in my honest opinion, the ONE person who I have been in contact throughout a years long class action lawsuit has been KETRA FRANCIS. Long ago when this lawsuit was in its infancy, it was KETRA FRANCIS in the beginning, middle, and end that made the process transparent, kept me informed, and also KETRA has and always was extremely professional and never left me with a question for more than 12 hours. KETRA FRANCIS and by extension Holland Law Firm did the absolute best job they could in what was clearly a dynamic, always shifting, and time consuming challenge that frankly KETRA FRANCIS was born to do. I’m prior service 11B 23 years retired. Honestly we would not have gotten a thing without KETRA’s commitment to serve the underserved Veterans in our community. Good on you KETRA FRANCIS.

I couldn't be more grateful to Doug and his firm for the help they gave me. Roundabout 2 years ago now, I was facing a pretty scary legal situation that dropped on me out of the blue, and was lucky enough to be introduced to Doug through a mutual friend. I'd never been in any kind of legal trouble, and I was completely freaked out and totally lost. He called right away, patiently explained the plan, was attentive, confident, trustworthy and just knew exactly what to do. I can't tell you how much better I felt just knowing that he was on my side. In the blink of an eye, he got the case against me dropped. Look, if you're in any kind of a legal bind, I honestly can't think of a better guy to have in your corner. Hire this man right now. He will help you. I promise.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ken Leeds, for almost 20 years. I moved here to go to college from Las Vegas and was involved with a nonprofit organization called “Boys Hope girls Hope”. Within my first six months of living in Missouri I was a passenger in a terrible car accident. Kens lovely wife was working for “Boys Hope Girls Hope” at the time and inform Ken of my accident. When I first met Ken, he was kind as could be and not at all what I had envisioned as a “lawyer”. Not only did he negotiate a rather large settlement for me. he donated his small fee entirely to the “Boys Hope girls Hope” nonprofit organization. I have maintained a close relationship with Ken, and he always makes time to help me out! Look no further, Ken is the best in town.

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.
