I gave Steve a 2500 retainer to help me with my divorce. He ended up billing me for about $2000 and then saying he didn't want to handle it and released me. I still haven't received a check even though I gave his secretary my address.

Despite the negative reviews, I still decided to give Mr. Lewis, a call in regards to modifying a child custody order. Don’t bother calling his office number because his voicemail box is full which I think is unprofessional. I called his cell number that was listed in the ad, he answered and i told him what I needed assistance with. One minute into the call/ him asking questions, he tells me that he will call me back around noon. ( if Mr. Lewis was busy he should of told me that In the beginning of the call BEFORE asking me questions)
Mr. Lewis, calls back wanting to know more about my case; while I was talking I felt that he was judging me/ assuming that I’m a typical “mad” babymomma, almost as if It was personal to him.
He asked, if my child’s father resides with his parents and I told him, no. A few minutes later he then asks if my child’s father resides with someone else (assuming a woman). Like really?! ... I told him, no. He asks another question and while I was answering his question he interrupts me, telling me that something came up and that he will have to call me back, smh (rude)
I won’t be speaking to Mr. Lewis, again. If your a woman seeking legal help with custody or anything that involves a disagreement/issue against a “man”, Mr. Lewis isn’t the attorney for it.

After the passing of my brother, I realized I could make life a lot easier for my loved ones by having my powers of attorney and living trust prepared so my desires were clear and the people I may someday rely on will be empowered to help me. Mr. Coulson and his staff provided guidance and base documents transparently and with a kindness that made me feel that my estate is safe and secure. Staff members replied to messages quickly, the fees were fair, and the work was perfect.

His elder services were a disaster. My sister took our mother to him. To make a long story short she paid him almost $12,000 to mess everything up. Three weeks before she died he SOLD her annuities and then transferred ownership of her home to us kids. So when she passed away there was no money available and when we sold the house we paid over $30,000 in income tax because he transferred ownership before she died. Had we never used him everything would have been better. Trust me, it’s all about money in his pocket.

Mr. Coulson was extremely knowledgeable in the field of elder law.....and I had spoken to a few before hiring him to help our mother in getting Va and Medicaid benefits. She is now in a good nursing home where we feel good about her senior care. So much red tape to get through. We could never have done this on our own.

I wouldn't hire this clown with your money. Impossible to contact, no information at all about upcoming court dates, it seems no attention at all was given to my case. A simple divorce took almost 2 years. On top of it all, my Ex violates the child custody agreement, and he says there's nothing he can do. What a complete joke.

My highest recommendation for Scott. Very smart, knowledgeable, dedicated, and stays calm in the fray. If I ever had a question, I got help. He truly cares. My only wish is he would have been my one and only lawyer as he corrected 5 big mistakes previous lawyer made in short order. He was instrumental in alleviating a lot of my pain throughout with his explanation of strategy, what the judge does / doesn’t care about, and what we would do to counter a very adversarial opposing counsel.
Important note: over dozen lawyers would not take case against opposing firm. Big name law firm also declined, but told me to call Scott. Best thing I could have done.

The word incompetent doesn't do him justice. He deserves negative stars. He is so careless and lazy, he could end up costing you thousands upon thousands, ON TOP of his regular billed services. He just agrees with opposing counsel without even looking things over (nevermind drawing up paperwork to support his own client). I don't know how he's still allowed to practice. In my opinion, it's malpractice. Do. Not. Hire.

If I could give zero stars… Colleen was the GAL for my granddaughter and did her a complete injustice. My granddaughters father is an alcoholic and at 6 months of age he gave my granddaughter a black eye and pulled a gun on my daughter and granddaughter. He now has 50/50 custody and cries any time she has to be alone with her father. We paid thousands of dollars for absolutely nothing. Colleen is a complete waste of an attorney and should never have any type of authority over a child.

Jim Ochs has helped my family and their co-workers in several work comp cases. He knows how to get the insurance companies to pay for the treatment you need, and he has made the process very smooth and gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Jim.

This attorney was completely unprepared for my divorce trial and it cost me dearly. His questioning of both myself and my former spouse were insufficient. I had numerous questions that I had instructed Jim as my attorney to ask my ex so that the judge could get a clear picture. He said he would use my questions and then did not and did not ask many questions of his own. Not sure how this guy is still in practice. DO NOT HIRE HIM unless you want an unprepared attorney representing you in court. I would classify my representation as NEGLIGENT. I almost fired him during the trial for incompetence. In hindsight, I should have as I would have been better able to represent myself.

My experience with Mr. Trams was a very positive one. Not only was he very knowledgeable regarding the case and contract law pertinent to my issue, he was very responsive and followed-up with me at every turn. I would highly recommend Mr. Trams as he is professional, highly competent and very reasonable.

Attorney Coleman failed to file a claim on time regarding my case. Her lack of professionalism caused me my day in court. She promised to pay all expenses incurred including my medical bills and personal compensation owed to me. I've since retained another attorney and she has even ignored communicating with him. I caution anyone thinking of engaging with her as she also does not carry malpractice insurance for instances like my own. If she had, her insurance company would have been involved in her misguided deeds. Failing to file a claim is inexcusable.

Bernadette brown is the worst type of lawyer and thief. She will smile in your face and Give you a convincing story about trying to help. But once she has your money, That is the last time you will ever see or speak to her again. Once she has your money the only people you will deal with are her rude assistants When I tried to speak to her about it She lied to the police and told them I caused the scene that way She could drop my case and keep my money, all for asking questions.

Roger’s advice and guidance were pitch-perfect. I am glad I reached out, and I got everything I could have hoped for when hiring him. Moreover, Roger was very generous with availability and accessibility through-out my moment of high stakes, jostling for my clients. His advice and assistance in fine-tuning my negotiations with precision towards the gravamen of the issue at hand in an adversarial situation with the other side. Roger helped me protect my real estate clients. Everything Roger provided to me was simply excellent. On top of that, I enjoyed every one of our conversations. Roger, you made a loyal client, and should the time come when you need a posse, call my number.

Justin Mason failed to tell me important information regarding my case. He dragged out my case for over a year because he didn’t know how to proceed with it.
He then told me there was a “disconnect” in our professional relationship and asked for more money if I still wanted his representation.
I didn’t know any better so I gave him permission to run my credit card over the phone.
After over 1 year of these court date “continuances” (requested by Justin) I decided my best option was to hire a new lawyer. Best decision I made!
I don’t believe Justin had any intention of resolving my case.
My new lawyer had excellent communication skills, kept me informed and had my case resolved in 3 months time!
Meanwhile Mr. Justin Mason kept my money and did NOTHING to help me. He was only in it for the money. He truly did not care about the outcome of my case.
Why did Mr. Mason drag my case out for over a year? Because he didn’t want to put in the time and effort to get it resolved. I wonder how he passed boards?? His work ethic is terrible. Beware. some lawyers do not work in the best interest of their client.

I hired Mr Miller based off of other reviews. I should have did more research on Mr Miller. Everyone who gave positive reviews about Mr Miller was successful people like business owners and other types. If your not successful your not going to get Mr Miller full attention on your case. When I talk to him on the phone about my case he made it seem like it was easy and it will be no problem to get my case done so I hired him. After I hired Mr Miller he gave my case to his associate lawyer. Mr Miller didn't try to contact me any more about my case. Everything was about his associate lawyer contracting me. I asked the associate questions about my case she didn't answer them and Mr Miller was tracking this and did nothing to stop it from keep happening. Now a year later Mr Miller and his associate have had my case and him and his associate haven't made any progress on my case. My case is still in the same place it was before I hired Mr Miller a year ago. The only thing that has happen with my case with Mr Miller is a big bill from Mr Miller and that's it. Yes, Mr Miller is on SUPER LAWYERS based off of the service I received he shouldn't be.

Signed contract with Mr Leonard in November 2017 after suffering stroke following cervical disk replacement. Also suffers a scar in my airway which requires hospital procedure to keep my airway open. The surgery was performed by Dr Wilson Ray at Barnes Hospital on January 3, 2017. After waiting 10 months with no news I contacted mr Leonard who stated he had submitted my medical records to two experts for review. He told me on the phone that Dr Ray was negligent causing my stroke by misplaced plate in my neck. He said he was filing the case because the statute of limitations expired January 2019. I was contacted by Mr Leonard’s assistant a month later who requested my MRI from before the surgery. Then on November 6, 2018 I received a letter from Mr Leonard stating that the three EXPERT witnesss he had review my records would not sign my case so he could not file it. Mr Leonard told me to contact another attorney IMMEDIATELY if I wanted to pursue the case. I contacted several other attorneys but was told the time frame was too short for them to work on the case since the statuary if limitations expired this January. Mr Leonard also informed me that his daughter was a physician at Barnes hospital.

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.
