I would recommend them to anyone who is trying to work through the complicated process for a spouse visa. Special shout out to Leslie for always hopping on a call and answering all our questions!

Working as a Realtor and being a homeowner I have learned just how important a great trust is to a family. Steven Bates is someone who knows his craft and keeps his clients from having headaches on top of heart ache. I do not hesitate to refer Mr Bates to our clients when they need legal advice of this nature. He has done workshops to educate our home owners on the value of trusts and why they are important.

In addition to being an expert at his practice, Mr. Bates is one of the nicest, most honest and considerate persons that we have ever had the pleasure of conducting business with!

This was the first time I’ve ever had to seek legal representation and they made it so easy for me to understand the process. I highly recommend Walton Law and will continue to use their guidance in any of my further legal matters. Thank you to everyone at the firm, you changed my life.

My case took over 5 years and was part of a group of cases referred to as Clergy III. The cases went from State Court to Federal Court as the Defendant attempted to minimize the liability of the claims against it. At no time was Mr. Zalkin ever unavailable to answer concerns or questions about the case, and brought in the necessary experts to assist when needed to secure an adequate value and location of assets as the case proceeded through Federal Bankruptcy court. Because of his diligence and professionalism, Mr. Zalkin was able to help secure an additional 100 million dollars to the initial offering of 98 million and settle the cases without having to put any clients though any unnecessary trauma of trial. The work he did in my case and the way in which he handled it was above and beyond what had been experienced with other Law firms in years previous. Mr. Zalkin handled the sensitivity of the nature of my case with the utmost of respect and professionalism. I recommend him highly, as he is a man who can be trusted to provide the best legal representation at all times.

My wife and I have been working with her oldest brother (85 yrs old) to help him with a Will and a Living Trust. For the past 3 years we have traveled from our home in Durand Mi. to San Diego to provide him with advice and provide any help he may need to get everything right. The more we worked the more complicated and confusing this procedure became, OMG were we Stumped. This year we decided we needed professional help. So, what do you do when your 2000 miles away and don't really know anybody in a big city like San Diego, GOOGLE IT! That's exactly what we did and came up with a bunch of names of attorneys that claim to be the best anywhere. We started making calls to see who we liked the best and would be able to take care of our issues. We left voice mails and asked to have someone contact us to set up a meeting. We encountered a few who were vague and after listening to what we needed really didn’t seem too interested. Then Jason, called us and we were so happy with his attitude and wiliness to complete the needed documents on a very short notice. Everyone in that firm seemed to want to help us get everything right, signed, and registered they even worked through the weekend. So, we could rest assured that we wouldn't be caught up in a nightmare with the probate courts. Thank you, Jason, and Ashley what a great feeling to know we made the right decision when we chose you

The team was amazing in helping us with our will and trust! They were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, supportive and patient with us as we figure out the best path forward to suit some of our very particular needs. It’s obviously not a fun or easy topic to discuss and they were so understanding of that giving us options and suggestions that could be relevant to us. And allowing us the time we needed to sort things out amongst our family. Sometimes we wouldn’t be able to resolve things easily so we would be at a standstill for a while between me and my husband but they were great about checking in regularly without creating any additional pressure. We also had some personal and particular road blocks that we come up against and Ashley was wonderful in giving us options and guidance around that. Both she and Jason were so kind and personable and professional. We had talked to several places before coming here and I’m so glad we did!

They even called us and did a follow-up a few months later to see how we were doing. I hope I don't ever have to use them again, but if for some reason we do definitely will. will also recommend them to family and friends if needed

I’m very grateful to Mr. Scott and his firm. We never felt like ‘clients.’ He viewed us as individuals of incalculable worth. He understood that we put the most difficult situation of our lives in his hands and he wasn’t going to let us down. It was obvious that Mr. Scott valued the truth and justice of our situation over his own ego. He is the farthest thing from the stereotypical attorney. Every attorney and paralegal in his office was equally qualified and motivated. Their work gave us peace of mind and confidence throughout the mediation and trial processes. They were extremely attentive to detail, and able to uncover significant details that we had not noticed despite being more intimately aware of the situation. They sifted through enormous amounts of data and properly distinguished the most important elements of the case from those of lesser importance. The storyline of our situation was patiently woven together over the course of the trial and the jury was not lacking any important elements. He was never too busy to answer a call, email or text. He was factual rather than emotional. Our trial ended more quickly and favorably than we anticipated as a result of Mr. Scott’s professional and human excellence.

Mehran came highly recommended by a dear friend of mine and a lawyer herself. So, I went in with complete confidence in his abilities as a professional. What I didn't anticipate was how personable he would be. He went above and beyond; he was very responsive and kept me updated throughout, even if it was to say there were no new developments and we were still waiting for a response. Fortunately, I was lucky to have such a good lawyer because the insurance company did its best not to assist or respond to Mehran and me, but he was persistent. He did not stop until we had a fair and favorable outcome. The business name says it all: "Care Law Group." he truly cares and will fight for his clients and their families in any way he can.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with John Clune and the rest of the team at Guy Levy Law. This was my first time needing an injury lawyer (and hopefully my last) and I feel so lucky that I found John. I’ve seen so many family members and friends go through nightmare situations with attorneys and cases; I had the complete opposite experience. I was mauled by two Pit Bulls that left me severely injured and out of work. While enduring one of the most painful and stressful situations of my entire life, John made me feel like he was truly fighting for me every step of the way. His effort and skill as a lawyer helped me come out on top with my extraordinarily complicated case. I’m so grateful for him and the rest of the team.

When searching for a trust attorney I came across Maya Pinchman at Ratners & Pinchman.  What an amazing experience after an arduous search for a trust attorney! She gave me all the time on the phone to hear my case and offered great options without an initial hourly fee.  I knew I had found the right person to help me with setting up my trust.  She offered excellent solutions for my situation and was great with the execution of my trust.  Maya is kind, understanding and professional.  She has always been available to promptly answer my questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone that would like to acquire an honest and competent attorney.

Patrick and Samantha did a fantastic job of prioritizing and getting the best possible outcome for what became a long and arduous case mainly due to COVID. I consulted with Patrick in September of 2019 and he walked me through what my options were and how things would look like to get my matter handled. While navigating the court and DMV systems, the pandemic hit and everything became a waiting game. Fast forward to 2022, wanting to get the matter settled and a very determined district attorney, we ended up in trial and Patrick and Samantha showed up prepared and optimistic, guiding me through everything. In the end, we received the outcome we were hoping for. Throughout the almost three years of us working on this case, they made sure to keep me in the loop the entire time. Any other attorney could have easily racked up a mountain of fees for the extended duration of this ordeal, however Patrick was honest and open throughout his legal obligation to me. I am very grateful to Griffin Law for all of their assistance and professionalism during this stressful circumstance.

Simply put - I owe Patrick so much I can't make a Google review that really covers it. I went in for a simple issue that should have just gone away, but he treated it very seriously. He had to fight uphill with the City Attorney and fought for me to get what justice required. He advocated for me at every turn and walked me through the problems we were dealing with. I can't recommend Patrick at Griffin Law Office enough. If you are in trouble and need help he is your guy.

He's smart, charismatic, and puts in the work necessary to get his clients the best possible outcome for the situation they're in. As an attorney in a different field, I wouldn't hesitate one second to refer my clients to him if they had a criminal defense matter. Stop your search for an attorney and call Patrick!

Michael was very helpful, communicative, and thorough in helping us establish a 501(c)3, and we would definitely recommend his services. My wife and I recently started the process of forming a nonprofit, but we didn’t know of any lawyers who could help us set up the organization. We found Michael through an inquiry on UpCounsel; we picked him because he seemed very knowledgeable about the process, he responded to us promptly, and his quote was fair and reasonable. Michael walked us through all the steps we would need to complete, explaining what parts he would take care of and what we would need to do. He patiently answered all of our many questions quickly and respectfully, and he efficiently generated the forms we needed to submit. He sent us drafts of all the documents prior to submitting them so we could provide any necessary feedback. Once we’d finished the initial steps, he sent us a very professional binder containing our founding documents and a corporate seal. Once we received our tax-exempt status, he gave us clear guidance regarding the steps we would need to complete in years to come to maintain good standing as a nonprofit. Working with Michael was pleasant and productive, and we were very satisfied with the work he did on our behalf. Thank you, Michael, for all your help!

I was in a car accident in 2020 that left me with a back injury that I'd been, and continue to, suffer with daily. After a very low-ball contingent settlement offer from the guilty party's insurance company, I opted to seek legal counsel. I found this firm via a Yelp search, and was connected with Michelle Schill. Throughout the entire process, Michelle was very communicative and helpful, even though my case wasn't a very large one at all. She didn't give up on getting me a fair settlement, so I could avoid going through a lengthy and expensive litigation. Although I hope I don't need her services again any time soon, I would absolutely recommend Michelle to handle anyone's personal injury case. You'll be met with sensitivity, care, and a bit of humor!

This achievement has brought me immense peace of mind and confidence in the protection of my brand. What sets Brian apart is not only his expertise but also his ability to establish a strong rapport with his clients.

Michelle made the awful process of my personal injury case bearable. She was referred to me by another attorney and from the moment I met with her I felt she understood what I was going through and was completely amazing throughout the 2 year process. Not only does she know the law, but she’s a bulldog about getting down to the facts and putting the other side in their place when needed. Every interaction I had with Michelle during the process I would walk away feeling like the smartest person (in law) had my back and I could relax because I knew she had it handled no matter what they tried to send her way. She was extremely resourceful and overall just amazing to work with. This was my first lawsuit and hopefully my last, but I will honestly recommend Michelle to anyone who needs a lawyer.

I had an unfortunate situation where an Uber driver hit me and then falsely accused me of assaulting him. Despite trying to explain my innocence to the responding officer, I found myself needing legal help to clear my name. That’s when I got in contact with Sydney Rusch, and what a relief that was. From the start, Sydney and David put me at ease, walking me through their plan with confidence and clarity. Sydney's proactive approach was impressive—she answered my questions before I even had to ask. It was reassuring to feel like I had a dedicated team genuinely looking out for my best interests. When the court date arrived, Sydney gave an outstanding performance, fighting hard on my behalf. The result? Everything was dismissed and thrown out of court. Sydney Rusch is an incredible lawyer, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you need someone in your corner, she’s the one to call.

A Google search and a phone call and we were fortunate to find the absolute best criminal defense law firm in San Diego! The fact that David personally answered the phone and took the time to listen and assess our family member’s situation spoke volumes to us. The entire team at of David Silldorf Law are experienced, professional and aggressive in their pursuit for the best outcome for their clients. We hired David Silldorf, Gary Gibson and Sydney Rusch after that first initial call for our family member in San Diego and we instantly knew we made the right choice. Being out of state ourselves, the entire team took care of everything, kept us informed along the way, thoroughly answered every question that we had and genuinely cared about our entire family. Without going into specific details of the case, the only offer that was extended was 9 years and 8 months in prison for a first time offender. David’s team fought and in the end our family member was sentenced to 30 days at a treatment center and probation. David’s team literally saves lives. They got us the best resolution for our family member that will allow them to get back on track and be successful in life. We will be forever grateful for David, Gary and Sydney for all the work they have put in these last 9 months that allowed us to have peace of mind about this entire situation. Special shout out to Sydney Rusch for her continued support, help and getting things done!! We highly recommend the entire team at David Silldorf Law if you are in need of a criminal defense lawyer for yourself or your family member. If you have serious concern about having the best defense in a time of need, there is no need to look and search any longer. Pick up the phone!

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.
