I was very satisfied by the work of Mr. Moussavian. I found myself in need of a lawyer, and was lucky to have had this fine lawyer help with my case. Because of his on point expertise, I got the best outcome I could. He is a very good communicator, always available for questions throughout the months of preparation. He is open to discussing all sides of the problem, and advises with common sense and knowledge of the law. Because he does so many cases, he knows the people in the courts, so his experience is very valuable while making decisions. I never had to appear in court personally, as Arash handled my case every step of the way. This enabled me to not loose valuable work time during my case. Always on time, always present, never missing an appearance, always returning my phone calls or emails, provided me with a sense of security that my best interests were first and foremost. He is very understanding, helpful, and extremely respectful. His honesty was greatly appreciated, I always knew were I stood in this case. I highly recommend Arash, peace of mind is guaranteed with him at the helm.

Conor Kelly and Joseph Nicholson and their most professional team handled my case. They were no less than amazing and negotiated a settlement that was amazing, if you are fond of understatement, and well above my expectations. Congratulations on a job well beyond just well done. The bottom line is, if you are in need of an attorney, this firm is the best of the best.

I needed a good lawyer when fighting an illegal eviction attempt by an unscrupulous landlord in SF. Dan Berko came recommended and immediately I knew I had come to the right place. He explained aspects of my case to me and potential pitfalls, never overconfident or selling. In the end we prevailed, but I should mention it was an impressive litany of legalese that this man had at his fingertips and observing him explaining case law nuances was frankly impressive. His junior associate Carlos Jato was equally sharp and attentive to detail. Overall I have no doubt that I received some of the best legal counsel available and under adverse circumstances and timelines. His fees were beyond reasonable, he was willing to work with us of meager means at that period. His personal advice to me during that period was reassuring and helped me navigate the ordeal. I thank him for his knowledge, his pragmatic demeanor and ultimately his candor. I would recommend him to anyone and I'm definitely understating my praises. A consummate professional.

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!

From the moment that we hired Dale and his team, we were thoroughly impressed with his thoughtfulness, professionalism and comprehensive approach in handling our personal injury case. His first priority was to make sure that we had all of the support necessary to fully recover from our very serious injuries. Then he methodically went through the process of investigating the accident, contacting the representatives of the responsible party, obtaining additional medical evaluations of our injuries, and negotiating a reasonable settlement. Throughout this one and half year process, we were able to focus on our recovery, and we were not confronted with legal bills, inquires from the insurance companies or Medicare, or contact with representatives of the responsible party. Dale and his team made all of this happen. The final settlement was more than we expected. In spite of the unfortunate circumstances of our accident, our experience with Dale was 100% positive. We cannot think of one negative thing that occurred in the one and half year interaction with Dale and his team. We highly recommend Dale.

I've worked in the law for 31 years (bankruptcy), but it was definitely both humbling and strange to be on the other side of the lawyer's desk. You know it's a bad day when you wake to someone cradling your neck and announcing that "the ambulance is on the way " (when bicyclist meets car, bicyclist loses). I interviewed a few PI lawyers (half my friends, it seems, are attorneys). Carter Zinn struck me as incredibly knowledgeable, aggressive and creative. Although the lawsuit was a bit of a roller coaster, at every point along the way I knew I made the right selection. The eventual million dollar settlement was far greater than that predicted by the other lawyers who I interviewed and assessed my case. You cannot do better than to have Carter Zinn as your advocate

The Veen Firm surpasses excellence! They state on their website that they provide a team approach that delivers care and attention to the people they assist. This is exactly what the Veen Firm does! Sometimes in life you find people that truly care about others. Words can't really describe the professionalism, integrity, respect, kindness, and compassion that Bill Veen showed me during this very difficult time. I shared my story with Bill's team and in turn they treated me like family, supporting me through every phase of the journey. Bill Veen deserves more than five stars! If ever you need assistance I highly recommend Bill Veen! He will provide a caring, team approach, to support you and your family!

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.
