I am an attorney in Massachusetts and Attorney Marsalisi was very helpful in assisting me with a time sensitive matter involving a Florida personal injury case. Frank was responsive and professional and really took the time to analyze the difficult issues that we were facing. I highly recommend this office.

After my car accident I needed a personal injury lawyer and once I talked to Frank and Bre at Marsalisi Law I immediately felt they truly care, and I went with them. I couldn’t have been happier with my choice! I felt like I have known them forever. They are extremely knowledgeable and kept me informed every step of the way. They went above and beyond and answered every question I had, even answered my questions before I could ask them! I would never choose anyone else to be on my side. If you’re looking for a car accident attorney, you will not disappointed with Marsalisi Law!

I see all these great reviews about Will Flores and I’m not sure how accurate these are. I had a car accident case which Elliot was handling. Elliot from one day to the next left the firm which was very strange and then Will takes over my case. He calls me and is on the phone with me for about 45 minutes. He tells me how we’re going to move forward with my case and pretty much it was all lies. Melissa calls me the following week and tells me Will is dropping my case because the insurance company wasn’t going to pay. I was in complete shock because what Will told me was completely different than what Melissa was telling me. The weird thing is he knew the insurance company wasn’t going to pay because we talked about it and his plan was to send me for another mri and a chiropractor. Once we get the results we sue because he said even if the insurance company offers anything it’s going to be low. This was a very simple car accident. If anyone saw my videos it’s obvious this wasn’t my fault. Will even agreed this wasn’t my fault and so did Elliot before he left. Anyways, After this situation he is probably the biggest liar and most unprofessional attorney I have ever dealt with. I DO NOT RECOMMEND AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND WILL FLORES TO ANYONE. I’m not sure if he’s crazy or just a compulsive liar. Either way horrible guy to do this to anyone.

Thought I hit rock bottom. But, Lee Pearlman gave me hope. Even through the ups and downs on my end he continued to produce results. From getting my DUI reduced to a wreck less driving. To even when I failed probation he was able to get me out with minimal jail time of 2 weeks. He generated professionalism through the whole process, and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Mr. Pearlman!

Hunter was not only thorough with his explanation of terms and the way Trusts work vs. wills, but he was also very patient with our laundry lists of questions (and sometimes repetitive questions) over multiple phone calls.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Tim Hessinger and the life-changing work he did for me. Facing the possibility of 30 years in prison was the most terrifying experience of my life, but Tim’s skill, dedication, and unwavering belief in my case made all the difference. From the very first meeting, Tim put me at ease with his extensive legal knowledge and confident demeanor. He took the time to understand every detail of my case, meticulously prepared my defense, and tirelessly fought for me every step of the way. His ability to analyze complex situations, find weaknesses in the opposition's arguments, and present a compelling case was truly remarkable. Thanks to Tim’s hard work and brilliant strategy, I am free today and able to rebuild my life. He didn’t just save me from an unjust sentence; he gave me hope when I needed it most. If you are in need of an attorney who will fight for you like your life depends on it, Tim Hessinger is the one you want in your corner. His dedication, compassion, and expertise are unmatched.

This review is long overdue. I was very overwhelmed with the case and wanted to shut it out completely afterwards. After having consultations with a few different attorneys, one who was very demeaning and one who wanted to take advantage of the situation monetarily, I was feeling distressed. I remember the evening that I called Tim. It was after business hours but he picked up my call and truly listened. He gave me the feeling that my gut was looking for, a sense of calm and that it will all be taken care of. Tim was courteous, easy to work with and followed-up frequently, answering my questions and requests. I'm so glad and very grateful that it was Tim, as it all worked out. Thank you so much, Tim.

This lawyer is a straight up thief. Will tell you want to hear to collect the money. He tells all his clients to leave a review (before the case is resolved) all the reviews are fabricated. He doesn’t know when your next court date will be. If you hire this guy you might as well just hang it up! Do not hire this liar

I found Attorney Kopp through a bankruptcy support group on Facebook. I was literally drowning in debt, dodging the phone in a time it rang, had two grandchildren I was never expecting to take care of that became my full-time responsibility with full-time daycare, lost the business during Covid, hada house fire lost everything, and could not get my head above water. Was engulfed in depression and talk to many other lawyers who I could not afford and didn't seem to have the empathy of life circumstances. When referred to Attorney kopp I had decided to give it the one last try. Not only was he beyond reasonable with his prices his whole team actually really cares. They showed me respect and empathy throughout the whole process and when it felt like the whole world was kicking me they really were bringing me up which is beyond and above their pay grade!!! I am so truly grateful for this whole law firm!!! with them you are not a number you are actually a person!!! and thank you so much for everything you've done for us!!!!

My daughter lost her life due to a medical disaster. We wanted to make sure this did not happen to other families and that this institution had to change. I asked Mrs Vesley if she was tough enough to stand up to this organization and she indicated she had no problem standing her ground. They stood their ground, brought to bear her firm's expertise and achieved a very positive outcome. We were kept informed at every juncture and all options discussed with us before moving forward. I can not begin to express how thankful we were to have her working on our side in this case. It is very unlikely this this institution will make this same mistake again and another family will have to suffer as we did. Mrs Vesely has our unconditional highest recommendation.

Rohom possesses knowledge, a high EQ, and a drive towards outcomes... combine that with ethics and integrity and you have the perfect attorney - and dare I say a priceless one. We were able to come to resolutions probably faster than some others in my situation, because of Rohom's ability to work well and sensibly with all parties (it certainly helped that all parties were genuinely interested in reaching a resolution). He and April are responsive and their availability matches the urgency. That my situation wasn't urgent at all and we still managed to get things resolved in a short period of time is a blessing. Rohom is a treasure - and for that I would be judicious in my recommendations as he deserves to work with mature, fair, and reasonable clients.

I have used the Law Firm of Ian Leavengood and Associates in the past for business and personal matters years ago with great success. Ian delivered everything that was agreed upon. Just recently I had a business customer that I had dealings with that would not pay me for the work that I had done for them that was not of the ordinary realm of business. My atty that handles my daily business dealings could not get this customer to pay me for what was agreed upon. After 2 months of frustrations with my corporate atty. I decided to call Ian and discuss my dilemma. He was straight forward with me about what the cost would be by settling or going to trail. I left it in his hands and low and behold my customer paid me. Great work Ian and your associates for going above and beyond the call of duty!!

Attorney Leavengood and his team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. From the moment I came in for the consultation, I knew I was in good hands. During my consultation, Attorney Leavengood sat down with me and personally discussed my situation, expectations and goals. He laid everything out very clearly, let me know what I could expect and advised as to the different options he and his team could provide in order to best serve my needs. I was extremely impressed with the level of dedication and attention to detail Ian and his team spent on my case. I was kept in the loop with every step in the process and they made sure to answer any and all questions I had. Not only did Attorney Leavengood take care of the case I had originally hired him for, but he and his team noticed the creditor had engaged in some illegal collection practices, so they pursued a separate lawsuit to bring them to justice and secured a win for Florida consumers. I couldn't be happier with the services they provided (as well as the outcome) and would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of representation.

I never had an opportunity to show my gratitute and appreciation here in this website. Mr. Bolliger took my case in 2017 against BMW not wanting to honor the warranty and finding every little excuse to avoid having to replace my engine. They were asking me to pay over $30,000 to replace the engine. We contacted Mr. Bolliger and WOW!! the experience from start to finish was amazing!!! He definitely exceeded our expectations and we will always be grateful for his service and professionalism. He fought for us in mediation until we won! Thank you Mr. Bolliger!!

To make a long story short a family member was in an accident opposite attorneys did everything to throw us under the bus. S Ballinger did what he does best law. I have never in my life of dealing with attorneys and Co Council attorneys. Mr. Bullinger always made my family feel like a part of his, And yes he Won the case. But after four years I found out he was not about money it’s about principle of law and right. There’s no amount of money that can make you feel as good as we felt knowing he was there. I think him, We think him from the bottom of our hearts. We were blessed to have Aldo as our attorney the Bowman’s

Great services, professional, swift, straight forward, and painless. Thank you John and Ricardo!!! I do not live in the Tampa Bay area, I live in Fort Myers and could not find a Lemon Law lawyer locally. I'm glad I searched outward to a larger city and found Bolliger Law Group. This is their forte. The reviews on AVVO.com were what sold me on using them, they more than met my expectations. I didn't have to drive to Tampa, all communication was handled promptly via email and phone. My claim was simple and straight forward, transmission issues with my 2016 Jeep Charokee under 2 years old. I had all the initial documentation to them by late June, we had a little bit of a negotiation battle with the manufacturer and received an acceptable settlement offer by late August, I expect a check in September. Very informative, they follow up, they get things done. They tell you upfront what the process will most likely be like. They tell you the potential timelines for each action that may be taken. They tell you what is expected of you. They give you a list of documentation that you need and how to obtain any missing pieces. They give you your options, and you decide how you want to proceed. A side note: Documentation is absolutely key, make sure everything is noted on the service tickets, and don't hold off on going to the dealership and get your continued issues documented, read the notes on the service tickets that day, take photos of error codes on the dash, take video of your issues if possible, take a screenshot of mileage when you drop the vehicle off for service and when you pick it up to verify how many miles they test drove it. Keep your expectations reasonable, while this is personal to you and emotional at the end of the day this is business for everyone else. While we all feel like we should not only get a full replacement vehicle with all the bells and whistles for our frustration; that is not going to happen. Know what you feel comfortable with settling for and let them know, and at the end of the day remember this process is to help you MOVE ON from your current situation.

Katie and her team are by far compassionate, caring, understanding and more. From the first day of having to deal with situations I had no knowledge of, to the end of feeling like family, Katie made me feel like there was nothing to worry about and there wasn’t!

GENE KIERNAN 9137 Cordoba Lane Crestwood, MO 63126 March 27, 2018 Mr. Brian Harrington Harrington Law Group 5536 Central Avenue St. Petersburg, FL 33707 Dear Brian: Over the past months, I have pondered why I asked you to represent me in the car/bike accident of December 30, 2015. And, as to why I might want to recommend you and your firm to others in the same need. The reasons are many; but, the more significant ones include: Your absolute and complete knowledge of the Florida law as it pertains to car/bike accidents. I suppose having been involved in the writing of that law helps. Your amazing and detailed medical knowledge that allows you to understand and interpret medical communications with doctors, attorneys and insurance companies and your clients. Your uncanny appreciation of the special needs of cyclists and athletes. Your being a cyclist yourself certainly helps in that endeavor. Your attentiveness to schedules and special needs of clients as they may arise is much appreciated. I am pleased with the results of the case you handled for me; and, if you promise to not let this “go to your head”, you are also just a very nice, kind and considerate person. Our world needs many more of these! Thanks for the great job by you and Xenia. And, may you always ride with a nice strong tailwind. Cheers, Gene

I'm business broker. Had to find closing attorney to close on business my client was purchasing for his immigration visa L1. Many attorneys didn't want to deal with our difficult transaction. I initially dealt with Atty. Robert Hitchens. He was very accommodating and so helpful in keeping our deal together. When the buyer preferred to add more documents to the deal, they had no problem to prepare them at the same day. We corresponded with Paula there, and she was wonderful too. She answered emails quickly and was very professional and efficient. Closed on the day I asked for. Prices are reasonable. Overall, it was a pleasant experience!

I was referred to Coleman Law Group by a Physician I was seeing after a car accident. The point of contact person was a nice individual on the phone and seemed to be genuinely interested in helping me to recover from the accident. Though a minor one, the impact on my physical and professional life was sufficient enough to pursue legal compensation. However, over time, and more time and even more time, it became increasingly apparent my point of contact person had little experience and I was given next to no guidance or attention. There was always another random person contacting me from their Firm with the same questions over and over again. It was so frustrating. Then I was told that they would be handing my case over to another Firm which led me to understand that they were incapable of delivering on their commitments. I was discouraged but then was given spectacular care, attention and guidance that led to an agreeable resolution to my Case and finally allowing me to move on with my life after working a brief but productive time with The Walker Law Group. Best thing that The Coleman Law Group did for me was hand me over to them. I was just disgruntled that Coleman was compensated more for very little contribution.

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.
