I recently had the opportunity to work with Adam Neufer, Ramon Montijo, and Erin Carlson from Moradi Neufer Law Firm on my tedious divorce case, and I am incredibly grateful for their support and expertise throughout the process.
From our first meeting, Adam and Ramon demonstrated a high level of professionalism and knowledge in family law. They took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, which made me feel valued as a client. Adam's ability to break down complex legal concepts into understandable terms was particularly helpful, allowing me to make informed decisions at every step.
Both Adam and Ramon were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive. They were always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they might have seemed. Their respectful approach made me feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues, which is crucial during such a challenging time. I never felt rushed or dismissed; instead, they treated my case with the attention it deserved.
The friendly demeanor of Adam, Ramon, Erin made a significant difference in my experience. They maintained a positive attitude throughout the process, which helped alleviate some of the stress associated with divorce proceedings. Their approachable nature encouraged open communication, making it easy for me to express my concerns and needs.
I highly recommend Adam Neufer and Ramon Montijo at Moradi Neufer Law Firm for anyone facing family law issues. Their thoroughness, respectfulness, and friendly service turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into a manageable one. I am thankful for their dedication to my case and feel confident in the outcome we achieved together. Thank you, Adam, Ramon, and Erin!

Adam and his firm are truly exceptional. Adam is a caring and compassionate attorney who guided me through a terrifying and intricate legal matter and secured the best possible outcome. I am utterly grateful for his and his firm’s exceptional work.
If you seek further proof of Adam’s reputation, simply ask any attorney in the San Francisco area about him. You will witness the immense respect and admiration he holds within the legal community.

Valery was truly phenomenal in her support and guidance to me in an unfortunate accidental legal situation involving what was technically a felony crime on my part. Having never been in trouble with the law before, she was especially kind and supportive to me, and was successful in getting my charges dismissed. Valery is my savior and has my wholehearted endorsement.

We hired Chuck after doing due diligence on a total of ten personal injury attorneys. Of the ten attorneys we contacted, Chuck excelled in several ways. Among other things, he was the only attorney willing and able to give us references. We talked to five of Chuck’s previous clients and all of them gave glowing comments about his integrity, demeanor and competency.
We fond Chuck to be a straight shooter and results oriented. His knowledge and experience was especially beneficial to our case. For us, he sealed the deal, minimized our stress and maximized the payout.
Best free tip came from our sister — if you are involved in a situation where law enforcement has been called, it is an excellent idea to request the police report, body cam footage and police photos as soon as possible. As a victim, you have a right to all of this information and it’s typically easy to make a request online.

Hassel Law Group was so helpful in my case. My main point of contact was Sam Lasser and he was always available to answer any questions or just to check in.
Given their areas of practice, you will most likely be contacting them during an uncertain and stressful time of your life, but they truly know how to make you feel heard and seen. I felt like they truly advocated for me. With that, they were able to reach a favorable conclusion to the claim.
Thank you so much to the Hassel Law Group!

I cannot recommend Hassell Law Group highly enough for their exceptional support and service during a challenging time. When my dad passed away in January, our family found ourselves navigating a complex legal situation. The team at Hassell Law Group was not only professional and efficient but also incredibly compassionate and understanding throughout the entire process.
They took the time to clearly explain each step, ensuring we were informed and understood our options. Despite the complexities of the situation, they were able to achieve the best possible outcome for our family.
We are truly grateful for the dedication and hard work of Dawn, Sam, Stephanie, and Alejandra. They made a difficult process as smooth as possible, and I can’t thank them enough. If you need legal assistance, I highly recommend Hassell Law Group.

I engaged the services of the Hassell Law Group for a personal injury case. Within days, I had the pleasure of speaking with Justin Hassell, the Business Manager, who efficiently handled my case intake. Upon reviewing the details of my case, Justin recognized that my particular type of personal injury claim fell outside the Hassell Law Group's area of specialization.
Demonstrating their commitment to client success and ethical practice, Justin promptly referred me to Nicole Ayala, an exceptional attorney who specializes in the specific type of personal injury case I was dealing with. This referral showcased the Hassell Law Group's integrity and dedication to ensuring clients receive the most appropriate and skilled legal representation, even when it means directing them to another firm.
Nicole Ayala and her team at Ayala, Morgan & Buzzard law firm expertly managed my case. Their professionalism and legal acumen were evident throughout the process. Remarkably, they successfully negotiated a settlement with the insurance company in a mere three months, far exceeding my expectations in terms of both speed and outcome.
The swift and favorable resolution of my case left me thoroughly impressed. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding service and ethical referral provided by Dawn and Justin from the Hassell Law Group, as well as the excellent representation by Nicole Ayala, Daniele, Lucy, and Debra from Ayala, Morgan & Buzzard.
Their expertise, efficiency, and dedication resulted in a satisfactory settlement, showcasing their exceptional prowess in handling specialized personal injury cases.

I called Sam just after I got my first DUI. I had no experience dealing with courts or attorneys and he made everything very straight forward and simple. He gave me worst case scenarios, best case, and what was most likely to happen. Sam managed to get basically the best case in every scenario and tackled every challenge head on. He handled everything very professionally and spoke to me honestly and directly. I'd highly recommend hiring Geller Law!

Sam helped me with a civil harassment restraining order case. I called his office early in the morning and his assistant Lauryn took my information and with in minutes, Sam returned my call. Having a direct contact with him made me feel conformable and made the process less stressful. I highly recommend Sam because he is very professional, ethical, trustworthy and knowledgeable. He guided me through the process and answer any questions and concerns I had, explaining everything in a way I could understand. We were able to obtain a positive resolution in the case. If anyone need help with a legal issue Samuel Geller is the attorney to call.

Without question Alan has exceeded my expectations in every way. He's compassionate, very knowledgable and eager to figure out a plan that works for you. He guided me step by step in how the process worked and what needed to be done. I walked into the initial meeting feeling nervous and unsure, but walked out with a huge sense of relief. If you are stressing as hard as I was, give Alan a call now, you will wish you had called them sooner.

John is an outstanding personal injury attorney with a big heart! I had two car accidents with life-changing injuries involving negligent drivers and felt very lost at the time. I was overwhelmed with medical bills while struggling to get my life back on track. I reached out to John and he agreed to represent me in a heartbeat! He was strategic and attained an excellent outcome that exceeded my expectations.
What impressed me the most was John’s determination to achieve the best possible result! He fought hard for my rights and was responsive to my needs, providing not only legal advice but also emotional support during the difficult time. He had the magic touch and superpower to make an initially daunting experience remarkably approachable. From the first phone call I had with John, I felt HEARD! His professionalism and empathy made such a huge difference! He guided me through the entire process, easing my worries and giving clear explanations regarding the legal and insurance procedures.
John was also proactive, sharp, and realistic about the strategies for my cases as they developed. He gave me honest counsel that showed the highest standards of ethics and professional integrity. He genuinely cared about my cases and my well-being. I truly felt my best interests were taken into consideration. John was kind and friendly and had a positive attitude. He addressed all of my concerns and made sure that I felt comfortable with every decision and option. He also took his time to explain complex legal concepts and treated even my silliest questions with great patience. He kept constant communication, ensuring I was informed every step of the way.
I was fortunate to have an attorney like John who is skilled and reassuring during times of high stress, especially after the car accidents leaving me with serious long-term injuries when I was not at fault. He went above and beyond to advocate for me and helped me through some of the most challenging moments of my life. My only focus was on getting well and receiving the medical treatment I needed. He gave me peace of mind and took care of everything else. Now that John has successfully resolved my cases, I am able to move on with my life and focus on my physical recovery with ease!
I am forever grateful for John’s help and highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective, trustworthy, and compassionate representation. You will be in excellent hands. A heartfelt THANK YOU to John!

I had an amazing experience working with Jonah.
I had a small, but complex legal issue that resulted in a warrant being issued for time I had already served, and left the state for. Jonah was very communicative from the start, and was able to get me added to SF calendar quickly, so I flew in/out for court in the same day. He answered all questions I had, and was always very good about responding. To top it all off - his price was excellent.
I highly recommend Chew Law for anyone needing reliable legal services in The Bay!

Carlos won our case for us when we were pushed out of our home by our landlord in San Francisco. A rent controlled home that I resided in for over 10 years starting in 2004. He didn't give up on us in a battle of a very big SF real estate company versus an individual family and and in the end we came out on top. He is very professional and a very kind person. I would recommend Carlos to anyone out there in a similar case.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my unfortunate experience with Dolan Law Firm. I also appreciate the time the case manager, Mercedes, took to briefly listen to my concerns. I didn't expect to receive services from Dolan Law Firm from the questions I was asked during the information (intake) gathering. I messaged them since their website was advertised on another website as a possible law firm for civil rights cases. I read their reviews and a lot of reviews seem to be accident (personal injury) cases. Possibly there's a quota that needs to be fulfilled or the documentation that was requested that I emailed to the case manager was reviewed and or searched possibly for a statement regarding a accident and or personal injury, I am uncertain. I would have preferred to have received an email message regarding the type of case(s) the law firm is/was currently interested in taking.I realize not every person and or potential clients can be 'pleased'. However, the few negative reviews listed for this law firm have concerning and possibly valid points that I think potential clients may (or may not) want to consider. I did not receive services from this company/law firm, so I would not recommend this company to a friend or colleague.

After I suffered a crippling knee injury, Dan was recommended to me by a trusted lawyer friend of mine. As soon as I hired Dan, he plowed full steam ahead on my case and didn’t let up until he had obtained a great settlement for me in a short period of time. He frequently updated me on the progress of the case and answered my questions any time of day or night. All in all, he greatly exceeded my expectations and I would recommend him to anyone with a personal injury matter. There is good reason that some folks call him “Dan the man”.

Dan Rose has represented me, my family, and several of our friends over the past 25 years. He is our go to guy and a comfort to us, knowing he will always have our backs. He has never failed us. He wins.
He is a highly skillful and accomplished professional with an impeccable record of successes in the cases he has taken on. He is efficient and thorough and effective.
One may say this about other attorneys, but Dan has something special. He has a fire in his belly. Once Dan is your advocate, he is intrepid and tenacious in pursuit of justice for you. That’s what you want in an advocate.
For me personally, what makes him extra special is his sensitivity, compassion, patience and understanding of what people are going through in the legal process and how intrusive it can be. Dan really gets this.He keeps his clients informed every step of the way. When you hire Dan, you not only hire an attorney, but also, you hire a partner who will be in lockstep with you throughout the legal process.
I give Dan the highest rating possible. Hands down. He’s the greatest!

My daughter was a right-of-way pedestrian when she was struck by a left-turning vehicle at the intersection of Bush and Gough streets. While she did not sustain broken bones, she did hit her head on the pavement with intensity and recovered slowly over a two-year-plus period.
I contacted Walkup Melodia during the COVID outbreak which contributed to the stress of our situation. Mike Kelly, a partner at Walkup, called me back after two hours and immediately understood the trauma that my daughter experienced. While I understand the need for law firms to conduct an intake, Mike skipped that process initially because he was immediate in answering what was important to us - the client - not the firm's needs given the unusual nature of events during the pandemic. He was sensitive, supportive and insightful with his acute understanding of the trajectory of my daughter's injuries and how our case would play out with the insurance company.
In plain language, he explained what the projected range of compensation my daughter should expect. His representation was so valuable and his knowledge so deep in personal injury law in Northern California, we are so grateful to have received such amazing, thoughtful and immediate attention and representation from a high-level, gracious and profoundly knowledgeable attorney. If you have had a similar unfortunate circumstance, contact Mike at the Walkup firm to feel appropriately compensated for the trauma you have endured. There is no disappointment in dealing with this firm. For my daughter, Mike's representation was immensely gratifying for her both during the process, which was never wasteful, inefficient or antagonistic, and with the actual award in compensation for pain, suffering and medical reimbursement she received from the insurance company after negotiations.

I recently referred a personal injury case that involved serious injuries, liability issues, and defendants that were well funded (a municipality and a large construction firm) to Michael Kelly. Mike Kelly and his firm (Walkup, Melodia, Kelly & Echevarria) not only met the challenge, "they blew the opposition away". Mike treated the client and his family with respect and compassion throughout the litigation process. Not intimidated by the opposition's constant "low ball" offers throughout the litigation process, Mike settled the case on the eve of trial for an astonishing settlement amount. The client was elated with the settlement amount, knowing that he would have financial security for the rest of his life. Mike kept me informed throughout the litigation process and was receptive to my suggestions and help. Furthermore, Mike was extremely generous with the referral fee.

Mike Kelly is amazing! I was a pedestrian hit by a car in the middle of a crosswalk. I was referred to Mike by a friend who highly recommended him. I was in extreme crisis when we contacted Mike. Since I was bedridden, he made a house visit on the weekend a couple of days after the accident. That alone shows what a caring, sensitive person he is. He sensed how distraught I was and made every effort to calm me. At that time, he took over the worries of getting financial justice and allowed me to focus on healing. That was major for me! Mike worked at making sure I was able to get the full amount of insurance from both the drivers insurance company and my insurance company. He was extremely empathetic throughout this whole matter and was always available. My words to describe Mike are kind, caring, trustworthy, confident, professional and just plain wonderful! I can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Mike and his staff.

He had the magic touch and superpower to make an initially daunting experience remarkably approachable. From the first phone call I had with John, I felt HEARD! His professionalism and empathy made such a huge difference! He guided me through the entire process, easing my worries and giving clear explanations regarding the legal and insurance procedures.
John was also proactive, sharp, and realistic about the strategies for my cases as they developed. He gave me honest counsel that showed the highest standards of ethics and professional integrity. He genuinely cared about my cases and my well-being. I truly felt my best interests were taken into consideration. John was kind and friendly and had a positive attitude. He addressed all of my concerns and made sure that I felt comfortable with every decision and option. He also took his time to explain complex legal concepts and treated even my silliest questions with great patience. He kept constant communication, ensuring I was informed every step of the way.
I was fortunate to have an attorney like John who is skilled and reassuring during times of high stress, especially after the car accidents leaving me with serious long-term injuries when I was not at fault. He went above and beyond to advocate for me and helped me through some of the most challenging moments of my life. My only focus was on getting well and receiving the medical treatment I needed. He gave me peace of mind and took care of everything else. Now that John has successfully resolved my cases, I am able to move on with my life and focus on my physical recovery with ease!

I had an amazing experience working with Jonah.
I had a small, but complex legal issue that resulted in a warrant being issued for time I had already served, and left the state for. Jonah was very communicative from the start, and was able to get me added to SF calendar quickly, so I flew in/out for court in the same day. He answered all questions I had, and was always very good about responding. To top it all off - his price was excellent.
I highly recommend Chew Law for anyone needing reliable legal services in The Bay!

I had the misfortune of running head on into a tractor in the dark at night who was as driving on the wrong side of a country roadway without proper lighting, creating a hazard. My head slammed into the windshield and I haven't felt the same since.
The tractor operator denied liability, said that other motorists went around him, the accident was my fault.
The idiot nearly killed me.
My lawyer Nate James and his awesome case manager, contacted their insurance carrier with a demand for $250,000 before we filed the lawsuit.
The insurance company offered me $750. I'm posting their offer so you can see it for yourself.
Nate and his team went to work and the job they did was phenomenal. They found me the medical care I needed. Because I was without health insurance for a long time, I never really treated, and suffered in silence.
To make it more complicated, I moved from Brentwood California up to Tacoma Washington. I started a family. I was working as a manager. To the outside world I looked fine, but I wasn't.
God bless Nate's legal team. They found me doctors to treat my brain and back injuries. They got the case ready for trial. They even animated the tractor/El Camino collision. They had faith in me and my injuries and my case and they put in thousands of dollars to make it viable
One month before trial the insurance company paid me $500,000.00
That's a whole lot better than $750.
Thank you Nate and your awesome case manager George. What a great job your team did. I can't say enough good things about Nate James Law in Brentwood, California (Contra Costa County).
Thank you Nate and George.
With this settlement I'm going to be able to buy a home for my family and I know there will be security for my beautiful son and wife.

Nathan James has been my attorney since the early 90s. He spent six months negotiating a deal between myself and Capital Records in New York City, just to show and prove what an excellent attorney he is. He knocked that negotiation and those contracts out of the park. Since that time, he made partner at his firm. Well deserved. He has continued to show his prowess ever since. Having won major litigation cases for my wife, and different friends and family over the years.
Nathan is a bonafide winner. Extremely diligent and meticulous in his practice. Nathan earned my full confidence when we first met, and has maintained it steadfastly ever since. I’m proud to write this review, in the hope that more people will be become aware that trusting in Nathan James is a smart move. Thank you Nathan for years of excellent legal representation and batting 1000 for us. Sincerely.

Nate represented me on my custody case for our daughter. I called and inquired with 6 other law firms but Nate was the only one who sounded really genuine and was not only after my money. He was very professional and he wanted to know who his customer is and what his customer needed. I was very happy with our settlement and the services from Nate's team. Thank you!

Having wrongful termination as your case is really stressful but finding a knowledgeable and genuine lawyer to help you is FAR MORE STRESSFUL. Called 31 lawyers and blessed to meet Arlo. He definitely stands out from the 30 lawyers I spoke to. You can definitely feel his sincerity and honesty. Most importantly, He knows what needs to be done. Don’t waste your time. He is the man for the job.

This guy needs to run for mayor or something. Being a lawyer is beneath him.
When my employer was making my life hell on Earth, I felt so helpless. I had to have called up 10 lawyers. I dealt with so many who didn't talk to me straight.
This guy actually read through my stuff. Frankly his consultation on its own gave me more time than lawyers I hired.
Every other lawyer blew me off and didn't even care to look over my stuff. One even agreed to get me on a phone call, but ended up just flaking even having a consultation - Even *after* I took 30 minutes to fill out a form for him! Yeah! I think I'll be reviewing that guy next!
Now it's time to reward the good guys though.
Frankly I am a chicken dealing with lawyers. I'm not familiar with it. I could probably program the next big thing some day but the law to me is a bunch of wizardry.
I ended up chickening out and not going through with the severance agreement. When I wrote the company lawyers a big letter to them about what I got put through they responded (in substance):
The company disagrees with your points and doesn't want to discuss the matter this time.
Kind of like how I came in at 5 AM to program my companies software. How I stood there and dealt with bullying behavior by people who, in fact, had little clue of the subject at hand were NOT senior. I was programming in the work force programming and only dropped out to do a summer program sponsored by Google. Do they care what I sacrificed for them? I hardly took a day off! Other's went to Hawaii! I stayed weekends!
The manipulativeness of the CEO - after all my sacrifice - he even manipulated the staff to just reject my box I had mailed to me at the office. For a coffee machine I paid by hand for all to use. As if my own *taint* was a scar on the company.
The CEO even bragged to his friend about how, in our performance reviews and private talks, he deliberately tried to push and stress me.
Corporations that act like a parasite at the blood of an honest worker destroy the trust we have in things. The ideals that make labor actually work. What a toxic CEO.
Want to know how to fix things? You clone an army of Arlos.
You are completely screwed if you don't have someone on your side!

Mr. Scarlett and his legal team were both extremely professional and knowledgeable. They helped me to navigate the legal system after sustaining injuries caused by the negligent actions of another. They were able to win my case and secure a substantial verdict, which has allowed me to continue to receive the medical care that I desperately need. Mr. Scarlett is a talented lawyer, and watching him in the court room was quite impressive. He was able to convey to the jury the intricacies of my injury and accident. I would recommend the Scarlett Law Group to anyone who is injured and in need of legal assistance.

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.
