After countless hours and days spent with several other lawyers, I found Jason through a referral. While there were MANY emotions on my end through a 3 year case, Jason always remained calm, collective and prepared. He is honest and the best at what he does. I can honesty say, that without Jason and the CG firm, we would not have had the successful outcome we did.
Jason, thank you for helping me find justice, validation and most importantly, closure!

I wish to commend Mr. Evans for a job well done. I retained the services of Casey Gerry for an injury my mother suffered and Jason was assigned to my case. We are in the final stages awaiting disbursement of funds, and are very pleased with the settlement amount. More importantly, I wish to thank Mr. Evans for the care and compassion he showed toward my mother, and for always keeping me informed in a professional and courteous manner. I couldn’t be more satisfied.

We hired Mr. Evans after he was recommended to us by an opposing attorney who had worked with him more than once. From day one, he was very patient and allowed us to feel very comfortable with him. We trusted him with allowing us to focus on our daily lives and recovery, while he and his team handled legal matters that we had never faced. He was always available, patient, and ethical. He clearly stated the updates and goals of our case, while answering any questions or concerns we had along the way. Other qualities were his thoroughness, kindness, and honesty. Lastly, we were never given false hope and were mindfully walked step by step until the case's conclusion.

We are foster/adoptive parents and when CWS would not let us adopt this child that wanted us to adopt her, we retained the services of Mr. Plavnick and it was amazing how he got us a court hearing right away and with his knowledge and expertise he was able to win the case without even going to trial and in a timely manner too! And everything he said he would do for us happened.

Midway through a "routine" adoption we found ourselves faced with changing Adoption department positions, biased caseworkers, and what felt like the world against us. With his strong sense of justice, keen knowledge of the law, and excellent relationships with the local legal and adoption communities, Gary worked with us through multiple court briefs and trials to finalize our adoption. Had it not been for his level-headed, no-nonsense ability to chart the logical course through very emotional waters, we surely would have lost our minds as well as our family. As it is, Gary is a legend in our house of fighting the good fight and standing on principle.

We were referred to Mr. Plavnick in 2013 by friends who had retained his services in about 2004 for their foster-adopt process. Their confidence in him gave us the assurance we needed to move ahead using his services to complete our California Independent Adoption. Our process should have been straightforward, but as these things go, there were hurdles. Throughout our case he was self-assured, but never arrogant. He was thorough in action and always respectful of our time and limited resources. At no time did we feel a tinge of regret for hiring him. He is personable and professional, and remains on our list when friends are in need of legal help.

What a class act! Not just a phenomenal Attorney, Frank Polek is an outstanding human being. Mr. Polek successfully represented me in a case that was challenging and highly emotional for me. He literally took every ounce of anxiety away from me, was extremely persistent in my position and never backed down from the truth. In the end, it was a victory for me.
I could never thank Mr. Polek enough for his representation and handling my case as he did. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Polek to anyone who needs legal assistance.

When a competing company plagiarized my company's website, I didn't know where to start. I was fortunate enough to find Frank and he went to work on my case right away. He was very knowledgeable, provided reassurance and advised me of my options along the way. Frank was able to settle the dispute and protect my company's intellectual property. I especially appreciated how he would follow up with me on a regular basis and was able to translate the complexities of copyright law into terms that I could understand. I hope that I do not need an attorney anytime soon, but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Frank again!

Two years ago I was seriously rear ended on the freeway and my neck and shoulder took the majority of impact. After the accident I sought out legal counsel with 3 attorneys. And I will be honest, I was originally apprehensive to file a claim using an attorney. I did not want to get into a situation where my attorney would exaggerate my condition and accident just to get more money. I like to consider myself an honest person and I couldn't live with myself if I got strung into something that made me feel dishonest after. I needed medical treatments, I deserved compensation, but I was scared bringing in an attorney would snowball and get out of control. After discussing my car accident with the 3 different attorneys only one made me feel comfortable, Shahbaz.
Shahbaz and his talented paralegal Amanda became my legal dream team. I was never once pressured to do anything I did not feel comfortable doing. They listened to me, they understood what it was that I was looking for and they delivered. Any time I had questions or wanted an update they would respond within 24 hours by text, email or phone call. Insurance cases are known to move slowly and seem to take forever, so even if the update was that there was no update I appreciated not having to wait to get the response.
Considering I initially went into this claim with no major expectations of getting more than my medical bills covered and maybe a little for the trouble, Shahbaz was able to get the policy limit of the man who hit me and we settled for $50,000. It is no secret that in the current world we live in insurance companies are paying out less and less or simply refuse to pay. Shahbaz fought hard against the insurance company and got me what I never could have done alone.
If you find yourself in need of legal representation or are unsure if you need it, I would strongly suggest giving Shahbaz a call. I had a positive experience and will recommend Shahbaz to my family and friends.

Antony is a Honest & compassionate Attorney . His kindness was so refreshing from a Attorney. I was being discriminated against by my employer and Antony helped me through some very tough times. He is so down to earth and keeps you informed about all the steps along the way. He is not afraid to go up against a huge corporation like who I work for . I am still working for this company and now I am being treated fair and respected by my peers . I am very happy with how everything turned out and it made my life easier and happier at work. I felt he truly cared and went above and beyond for me.... I would use him again and I totally would recommend him ..

Antony has represented me for the past two years in several matters including: employment matters, regaining my license after losing my license from too many tickets and he was able to get my full (non-restricted) driving privileges back. I was told it was impossible by everyone, but he found a way to get me an emergency meeting and we wrote out a declaration and went fully prepared and the DMV liaison was impressed that he gave me my full unrestricted driving privileges back!
He went above and beyond and helped me lock in an interview at my dream job which ended up hiring me. He has taken on several roles and not the typical attorney I have dealt with in the past. I also referred an acquaintance I knew for a 2nd DUI and he explained everything to her in detail every step of the way and took all the stress off her back.
Antony has become invaluable to me. His specialized area of practice is employment and civil matters and he is extremely down-to-earth and a natural at what he does. I did not feel pressured during the process and he always made me feel that everything would be okay. And he was right. He will be my attorney for life.

Brett Peterson represented me when I was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street. When we first met, I was impressed by his knowledge and experience with cases of my type, and even more impressed by the fact that he clearly listened to and understood my concerns and what I desired in terms of outcome. Throughout the course of his representation, Brett clearly communicated where things stood, and what the options were. My instinct on meeting him was that he was an honest and professional attorney that I could trust. That has certainly been the case, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking representation for a personal injury case.

I never needed a lawyer until I was rear ended and it was so clear cut who was at fault I thought I was able to handle it myself but after about a year I decided it was too much stress work and hassle so I shopped around and I was looking for the lowest price attorney which I think was Brett and I'm glad I found him so down to earth humble and a great office environment because it's just basically him and the secretary you will deal with which is very comforting well he handled everything made all the Timely calls and appointments even offering us rides when we needed it. He's such a nice guy but knows the law even the other side likes him. Lots of experience I would use him again and recommend him highly. He's the type of lawyer that you would want to be friends with afterwards. We ended up settling in mediation so I didn't get a chance to see him go to trial which would be a good idea to do if you can before you hire him. Has a very nice office location that's very reassuring and in a nice location. Be sure to go to Pho Xpress right around the corner for a good meal at a reasonable price. So if you ever need a lawyer don't handle it yourself it's a waste of time and one more thing about Brett is you get the feeling he is not a crooked lawyer which is a plus when you are in the right! And the top it all off and I'm not implying it may happen to you but maybe because I was such a good client and we did a lot of the paperwork to a degree he even gave me a percentage of his settlement probably because of the pain and suffering I had to go through and how tight the other side was which was Allstate Insurance. Another reason I was blessed to find him by happenstance was because I was looking for a lawyer who was near me and he was also he always return phone calls right away and emails and he communicated very thoroughly and patiently from the beginning to the end not like some lawyers who are so friendly in the beginning to get you to sign with them but then afterwards they are more colder but not Brett he was very professional and kind to the end. San Diego is blessed to have him living here helping us get a fair trial, Justice and compensation for our pain and suffering. And if I was to share some advice I would say don't use your own credit cards on different doctors like I did searching all over for a cure because the other side will not settle soon enough and you have so many fees and interest that my credit is ruined. I I would recommend just send one group of doctors and just have one bill and that based on contingency of a settlement that would have resulted in so much less stress and problems in my life. There is a really nice place in Hillcrest call fix body group and they handle everything there I went there and should have stayed there to my healing was complete which it never was but then again I had to do a bunch of injections and Kaiser really did me right but they couldn't feel the pain short of major surgery to replace my neck bones with screws and pieces of metal. But now I heard they have new treatment where they will take a cadavers bone and if it's a match can fix your neck which I may still do in the future. Anyways don't drink and drive or get distracted by the radio your cell phone or any other sightseeing please just look ahead all the time and do not tailgate and be prepared for for a car to stop at anytime even on the freeway in the middle of the day in perfect weather. There's no need to speed or tailgate if you do you risk much pain and suffering for yourself or others and in the end it only saves you a few minutes better to be safe than sorry and an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. You will get there when you get there life is too short to have to go through it with pain for the rest of your life!

I have been working the phone the past few days in a attempt to get legal advise and hire a lawyer. The last several offices I called either did not answer their calls or had a receptionist take a message only to never hear from them again. The one or two who did answer my call either had no interest or did not practice in the area I required. Neither offered any advise or a referral. Then I got lucky and gave Brett Peterson a call. Brett did not practice in the area I needed however he spent the last 15 minutes, giving me referrals and advice on how to proceed forward. I appreciate and value Bretts honesty and advise. I will absolutely keep him in mind should I have a need in the future!
Thank you Brett!

I was referred to Richard Prager by another attorney who spoke very highly of him. Although Richard was not able to take my case, he spent quality time referring me to other attorneys within his network and helped me find an attorney who could assist me. I was amazed by his generosity and how much he cared for someone who he was not being paid to assist. I have no doubt that he takes very good care of his clients. I highly recommend him.

I've never wrote a review before, but I would recommend Richard and the Law Offices of Charles Roseman to everyone who needs a personal injury attorney.

Anthony represented me in a mold case where my home was filled with Stachybotrys mold for 2+ years. My landlord refused to fix any of the problems and my family was constantly sick. After being turned away by Lafave's firm because of statue issues, Anthony took my case head on. Since we didn't find out about the mold being toxic until we hired A & A Mold Investigations (who I highly recommend as well), the statute wasn't an issue anymore. Anthony worked diligently for myself and my family and we were able to settle out of court! He always had our best interest in mind and I believe that we got a fair settlement in a short amount of time! He is very good with correspondence and he and his staff always notified me if there was a question or concern. So happy with Anthony and would definitely use him again in the future if I ever needed him again. A++++!

My case was not easy. Before I hired Thompson Wedeking, a recovery seemed nearly impossible. To be more specific, I knew I had right on my side and I knew a court would rule in my favor, but whether I would ever see any money was the real issue. The defendant kept switching lawyers, each time hiring a bigger, more expensive firm. At the end of the day, Thompson Wedeking lived up to their name and their slogan, because David beat Goliath in this case.

I was very impressed with how extremely professional and knowledgeable Mr. Thompson was about injury cases. They would always contact me whenever they needed something and my calls were always answered and returned.
I was more than happy with my settlement. It was about the amount that I expected. I was very happy with how things were concluded. It was really professional and all I had to do was sign a few papers. All my bills got paid for and now I have enough money to buy myself a car.
Mr. Thompson took care of the case and did a wonderful job. If an opportunity ever arises where an attorney is needed, I will let them know of the Law Office of Harold D. Thompson.

Ryan, actually helped my wife and i with a car accident. It was fairly basic case, but where can you go to an Atty and get honest, fast, reliable help? Only at the Mccabe law firm. If you want an atty that knows what he is talking about, an atty that is upfront and is not mainly interested in how much he will be make right off the bat than call Ryan. Most atty wont even answer your calls unless you have given them money and than more money before you even know if you have a chance or not.

My urgent care visit led to a permanent injury due to a medical malpractice. I started seeking for an attorney, but none of the ones I talked to were courageous enough to take the case. Then I found Deon Goldschmidt from Yelp. He explained very clearly the possible outcomes of the case and the settlement process in person and immediately gave me hope that something could be done about it. In the end, Deon got me a great settlement.
He sincerely cares about his clients. He is very knowledgeable, approachable and responsive and I truly recommend his services.

Laura took over my injury case after my previous attorney was unable to continue. She hit the ground running and didn't skip a beat. Staying on top of the other driver's insurance company and pushing my case along. Laura consulted with me when needed and had my best interest when advocating for me. Always telling it straight, the good and the bad. In the end a settlement was reached which was more than I was hoping for. Now that may not always be the case, but having Laura made me feel like it was always a possibility. I highly recommend Mrs. Lindsey if you value honest forthright communication like I do. She listens and makes you feel like her best client!

Laura Lindsey went way beyond the call of duty and exceeded my expectations. I’ve been in the insurance industry for over 20 years and thought that I could handle the case on my own until the at fault carrier made me a very low offer on a serious auto accident. I was referred to and retained the Walton Law firm which was the best decision I could have made. Laura handled my case professionally and aggressively and kept me very informed along the way. My case settled for much more than I had anticipated and I’m very grateful for Laura’s dedication as well as the assistance that I received from the rest of the team at the Walton Law firm. I would strongly recommend Laura Lindsey. Thank you Laura for everything!!

I was recommended to Laura Lindsey and the Walton Law firm by a relative after I suffered injuries from an accident. From the start, I could tell I was in good hands. Laura is incredibly hard working and detail-oriented. Personal injury cases are often complex so you need someone who minds the details. She sat down with me and completely dissected my case from start to finish and laid out several scenarios for how the case would transpire. Over the following weeks, she kept me continually up to date and helped me through the complexities of my treatment and insurance issues. She was also very honest - when it became apparent that the case required an attorney with a different specialty than Walton Law she recommended a different lawyer whom I am now with and happy with. If she hadn't gone to the trouble of researching and finding an attorney with the required specialty I required, I would be out of luck. I highly doubt I would have received the same care from another attorney after they realized a lawyer with a different specialty was needed. Laura is very friendly, dedicated, and a dream to work with, I give her my highest recommendation!

I had a good experience with Anton and his associate attorney Emilia. I would recommend this firm. Anton is very smart and fights for his clients. He came up with a very good strategy to defend me. The firm was financially reasonable but, most importantly, they took the time for me, took my case seriously, and treated me with kindness and respect. I have been through a terrible legal ordeal and Anton gave me peace of mind and advocated successfully for my rights throughout. I have had very disappointing experiences with other attorneys in the past. So I can truly say: When one finds a good attorney it is simply golden. Highly recommended.

I contacted Ray Lewis after my Mother died after a fall in rehabilitation center of which she was a patient. This was a very emotional time for me. Ray was very understanding and helpful. He was reassuring and worked very hard on this case. Ray let me know of any correspondence from the opposing attorney and of any movement on the case. Even though Ray was very busy with other cases, he always returned my calls and answered all of my questions, even the dumb ones. He settled the case for more than I ever expected. I cannot find the words to let Ray know how much I appreciated everything he did for me. Thank You so very much, Ray for all you did for me.

From our first call to Ray about a terrible injury to our mother at a nursing home, we immediately felt at ease. He was down-to-earth and very knowledgeable. He explained the challenges and risks of our case and agreed to conduct a thorough investigation. After obtaining and reviewing the relevant records, Ray took our case. Throughout the case he kept us informed of all developments. We trusted Ray's judgment and did not jump at the first several settlement offers that he felt were too low.

From our first call to Ray about a terrible injury to our mother at a nursing home, we immediately felt at ease. He was down-to-earth and very knowledgeable. He explained the challenges and risks of our case and agreed to conduct a thorough investigation. After obtaining and reviewing the relevant records, Ray took our case. Throughout the case he kept us informed of all developments. We trusted Ray's judgment and did not jump at the first several settlement offers that he felt were too low. His resilience and hard work paid off. The nursing home ultimately increased its settlement offer and we were very happy with the result. We can't thank Ray enough.

I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle and suffered a separated shoulder. I called the Liljegren law group in Escondido to represent me. They took care of everything, all I had to do was show up the scheduled doctors appointments. They were able to settle with the insurance company for about 10 times more than I expected. Would recommend.

Sharon Glassey, and her partner Chris Smith, recently handled a situation for me that could not have turned out better. Chris was involved in the beginning, explaining everything in detail and patiently answering all my questions. Sharon became involved midway and took it to the finish line, without the need to file a suit.
They both stayed on top of the issue, always returning calls and emails promptly. I felt very confident that things would turn out the way they did.
I highly recommend this team!!!

Glassey Smith is probably one of the best law firm in my opinion. They helped me fight against to the dealer and brought my down payment back (The dealer charged me way much more than MSRP). More than that, I really appreciate their follow-up for loan paid-off from the dealer. Highly recommend Glassey Smith!

I have had experience with five different attorneys over the course of ten years for various cases and litigation (including a successful federal lawsuit against a school district) Glassey-Smith is the finest law firm I have ever retained. The communication of these attorneys sets a standard for excellence. The manner in which my case was settled was precise and expedient. Sharon is an outstanding communicator and was so on top of everything all the time. So thankful I found this law firm and highly recommend! Thank you, Sharon!

Marc did an outstanding job representing us on a disputed lease extension with our landlord who had sold the property we were renting. We ended up with a fair resolution where the other parties agreed to honor our lease extension and avoided a potentially costly litigation.

We can’t say enough great things about Marc Witham. He is professional, responsive, and has excellent follow-through. Most important, he is highly knowledgeable of California state rental laws so he’s well qualified to put landlords in their place.
In our case, my wife and I had lived in a rental house for seven years and always had a good relationship with the landlord. Due to an undiscovered water leak, the wood floors in the house began to heave and buckle over the course of a month. The landlord’s handyman removed a section of flooring and we observed white mold covering the dirt crawl space. The entire floor needed to be removed and the mold remediated. Rather than work with us to temporarily move out, the landlord sent us an email stating she had no choice but to evict us.
We’re certain the true reason she evicted us was to substantially increase the rent. The effect on us was that we were pushed into a highly inflated San Diego rental market, with rents at 30% and higher than what we’d been paying. Panic set in the moment we received the 60-day notice.
When we were evicted, our stress levels reached boiling point as our landlord kept calling us daily to find out when we’d be moving. We needed help right away. Marc’s online appointment system let us set up an initial consultation (we were able to schedule a call the very next morning). As residential tenants, it cost us $160 for our first call. That may seem like a lot, but the waves of relief we felt afterward made it well worth the money.
It’s the relief from stress that we appreciated most. What we really needed was enough time to find a new rental. On that first call, after hearing our situation Marc was immediately able to cite a state code section that granted us far longer than the landlord’s 60-day notice. He also advised that her notice wouldn’t hold up because it wasn’t properly formatted or delivered. It was clear we were working with the right attorney for the job.
Our rental situation dragged on for over two months, and we spent just under $1,000 in attorney fees. It was worth every cent. Marc initially issued a detailed letter, filled with legal citations specific to our case (i.e., not a form letter), that pushed back on the landlord. When she kept calling us, which we considered harassment at that point, Marc intervened again and asserted he was now acting as our voice, stating all communications needed to go through him. Words can’t express the relief we felt.
Not only did Marc get us the time we needed to find a new place, he also helped negotiate an equitable settlement so we could recoup expenses we’d suffered. We’re not talking millions here, but it was enough to ease the pain and cover our moving costs.
If you’re in a bind with your landlord, I would highly suggest Marc’s services. My wife and I remain confident that hiring Marc was the smartest move we possibly could have done. – Kurt S.

Steven Bronson genuinely cares about his clients and once you meet him that is evident! He is honest and trustworthy; he is not only a super attorney but he is also a really great guy. He recently represented 16 plaintiffs in a lead injury case and was able to gain justice for each of the plaintiffs, who suffered from ADHD, behavioral disorders and other neurological disorders caused from the lead. I am the parent of one of the plaintiff's and I can tell you that we could not have had better representation. Steven worked diligently for several years on the case before it came to trial, which lasted over 3 months. During this time Steven dedicated himself to the case, working endlessly to seek justice for our children. He was on top of everything and kept us informed. We were successful because of his knowledge, expertise and dedication to our case. I cannot thank him enough!!

Robert Hamparyan is a true, genuine advocate for all clients he decides to help. He and his colleagues are some of the few who practice law for the right reasons.
I was hit on my motorcycle by a women texting on the 5 freeway on my way to work. After being almost killed, burned, had my shoulder fully rebuilt, multiple knee surgeries, and countless other challenges that came from this, insurance companies will do anything in their power to deny liability. I first retained Steve Elia, who is also a great attorney and went above and beyond to help me get through this process however realized that due to the nature of the specialty needed, he wanted to be sure I’d have the best help available given the circumstance. Steven referred me to Robert and his colleague David Loeffler who specialize in complex cases like mine and truly understand motorcycle related accidents. This accident caused me to lose everything including my job, house, and most importantly health. The insurance company immediately offered to pay the full policy limit once they realized Robert was on the case and we would not back down. Robert, Steven Elia, and David Loeffler where so kind to help get me back on my feet by waiving their fees because they genuinely care about me and understand what it's like to lose everything. They are true motorcycle advocates and represent a select few practitioners who haven't forgotten the philanthropic basis law is meant to be and helping those who need it most when faced with tragedy. Even though it wasn’t a huge amount recovered and was just barely enough to get me back on my feet, they produced the best experience possible and I can't say enough praise about Robert and his team.

He and his team were profoundly competent and decisive in all actions from start to finish. I could see from the very first moment I met Robert that his compassion for his work cemented my belief that he was the right person for our case. He and his rock solid legal team helped my family through the darkest times in our lives.

The Best Business Litigation Law Firm for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses! For a number of years, my company was the exclusive supplier to a nationwide restaurant chain. With more than a year left on our contract, the restaurant chain stopped making any purchases, leaving my company and our employees in dire straits. The restaurant chain hired one of the world’s largest law firms with “over 2,400 attorneys on five continents,” and threatened to counter-sue my company and me personally. We hired Peter Zamoyski and his law firm, Tatro & Zamoyski, LLP, and we went ahead and sued the restaurant chain for breach of contract. As the case progressed, I saw firsthand how focused, thorough, intelligent and approachable Peter is. He and his law firm went toe-to-toe with the so-called biggest and best in the world. Through Peter’s perseverance, tenacity, and a well-designed litigation plan, he was able to overcome some tough obstacles—and a very, very well-financed opponent—to secure an extraordinary settlement for our company in this business litigation case. Not only did Peter get a great result for us, he kept me informed and really explained the process so that I could make the best decisions for our company. If you are up against the big guns in a litigation case, and you want a five-star attorney who truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Peter Zamoyski and his firm, Tatro & Zamoyski, LLP!

Patti is litigating a case for my daughter and I couldn't be more pleased with her professionalism and overall genuine care for my daughter. From the beginning, Patti's main concern was the well being of my daughter. She is not just her lawyer but her advocate. Patti includes me in every major decision that has to be made, every change that happens and just the overall process. She always provides me with good insight and explains things in a way I can understand. I have learned a ton within the last 3 years. Patti is not a lawyer that will keep you in the dark, make major decisions without contacting you first or force you into something you are not comfortable with. What I love the most about Patti is that she doesn't rush things. Going through litigation can be exhausting, time consuming and emotional and we naturally want to hurry and settle but she has taken her time with the case and has done a thorough job thus far. MY daughter and I are so grateful to have Patti fighting for my daughter to get what she deserves. You're the best Patti!

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.
