Let me preface this by saying that this is the first time that I had ever needed an attorney so I have nothing to compare it to so therefore the 4 star rating. This should in no means reflect Mr. Hughes's knowledge, skills, or talents in any way. My dealings with Mr. Hughes went very well. He was very understanding of my situation and helped me through a very difficult time in my life after the fall out from my car accident. Would I hire Mr. Hughes again? In a heartbeat. The only suggestion I would offer to anyone who is getting ready to litigate is to keep accurate documents and files. Because I did this this, we both received a better outcome.

After being involved in a minor motor vehicle accident (I was rear ended on the highway), a friend referred me to Mr. Hughes. At the time, I wasn't interested in contacting an attorney as I didn't feel my injuries were significant. However, after a few days, it became evident that my injuries were more serious than I had originally thought. I was diagnosed with whiplash and my doctor referred me for physical therapy. On top of an already hectic lifestyle and now physical therapy appointments twice weekly, I had little time and emotional energy to deal with the insurance company myself. I reluctantly contacted Mr. Hughes just to see if there was something he could do to help me. Not being a litigious person, I was apprehensive. I was pleasantly surprised with Mr. Hughes' knowledge, professionalism and considerate nature. He explained the process to me, along with the expected outcome. At no time did I feel like he was taking advantage of my situation or trying to gouge the other party involved, like I had once expected from a personal injury attorney. He and his office staff handled all the details of the case so I could focus on my health. His initial demand was fair and completely agreeable to me, as was the final settlement. I couldn't be more satisfied with the way Mr. Hughes and his staff handled my case and took care of me personally. I will definitely be referring my friends and family to Mr. Hughes in the future, should there ever be a need.

I personally do not even know where to start...I wish that my experience would get across so many people that need help with any immigration situation...in my case we had an incredibly amazing experience thanks to Violeta and her team! Starting the process with the fear of having to go to Ciudad Juarez one day would get the best of me at times and thanks to Adrian and Vero who prepared us and were attentive while we were out there, made me feel more calm. We are forever thankful for Abogada Violeta and her team. They answered all questions and doubts we had. They also have an hospedaje information with a lady Lucy who is incredibly helpful in Ciudad Juarez and makes you feel like home. Traveling with our 3 children was scary not knowing where we were going or what we could've encountered, but thanks to her knowledge and hospitality my husband went to all of his appointments on time and thank God we are back home safe and sound as a FAMILY 🙏🏽🤍 I always say you pay for what you get and although the costs seem expensive... it is worth it.

Even Though my brother couldn't speak English, they always had the means to communicate with him. Thank you Abogada Lupe Morales and your personnel. You were always there for us.

Quiero recomendar a la abogada Navarro y la firma Fontes. Yo llegue a ella gracias a recomendación de mi sobrina a quien le ayudo a ganar un caso de custodia. Yo estaba atravesando un proceso complicado de divorcio en el cuál había muchas implicaciones/agresiones por parte de mi ex esposa el cual se estaba alargando más de lo deseado. Yo comencé el proceso con un paralegal por "barato" sin saber que lo barato me saldría más caro. En cuanto llegue con la abogada Navarro se notó su experiencia, profesionalidad y educación. Ella y su equipo me guiaron paso a paso durante el proceso, me mantuvieron informado de cada avance en el caso y contestaban mis dudas. Cabe destacar que la srita Gali fue quien estuvo en contacto conmigo y me escucho y resolvia todas mis dudas y me guio, cuándo la abogada no podía hacerlo directamente y siempre lo hizo de una manera profesional y amistosa. El día de la audiencia me sentí ampliamente representado por la abogada y gracias a ella, su experiencia y su guía legal pudimos llegar a un acuerdo en mediación y finalizar el divorcio. Estoy sumamente agradecido con la abogada y su equipo. 100% recomiendo a la Abogada Navarro y su gran equipo para quien este pasando por un caso legal difícil. Quiero recalcar que si estas en un proceso de divorcio no acudas a lugares baratos, solo te hacen perder tiempo y dinero y esas personas no te asesoran en absolutamente nada legal.

Wail and his staff are unlike any other! From the moment I requested an appointment, Desire was very kind, understanding and with great customer service. I was provided with an appointment the following day ( Thursday ) didn’t expect to be seen or to be helped since my court date was Monday. I had been dealing with a Domestic Violence case that was overlooked by Orange County court house in January. Not only did Wail reopen my case, but also helped me with child custody. Wail and his staff ( Jennifer, Marlene and Alex) are very knowledgeable, professional, and detailed. They were all very clear about the process and always answered any questions I had. I am forever thankful with each one of them! I had court this past Monday, 7/8 and can say Wail did help me get what he said he would. He is very professional, confident, driven and tough when needed during court hearing. I am so glad my friend Paige referred him. My case was settled and can say it exceeded my expectations!!! Thank you Wail and Staff for all of your help.

I highly recommend Wail and his team. He has great attention to detail and has a strong presence in the court room. He has the ability to recall all the details in your case and has great strategy in the court room. Not only does he have a great, relatable personality, he will fight endlessly for a favorable outcome. Words cannot begin to express how much I appreciate Wail and his team for their knowledge, patience, and understanding. Thank you Wail, Marlene, and the entire team at Sarieh Law!

El día de la audiencia me sentí ampliamente representado por la abogada y gracias a ella, su experiencia y su guía legal pudimos llegar a un acuerdo en mediación y finalizar el divorcio. Estoy sumamente agradecido con la abogada y su equipo. 100% recomiendo a la Abogada Navarro y su gran equipo para quien este pasando por un caso legal difícil. Quiero recalcar que si estas en un proceso de divorcio no acudas a lugares baratos, solo te hacen perder tiempo y dinero y esas personas no te asesoran en absolutamente nada legal.

Wail and his staff are unlike any other! From the moment I requested an appointment, Desire was very kind, understanding and with great customer service. I was provided with an appointment the following day ( Thursday ) didn’t expect to be seen or to be helped since my court date was Monday. I had been dealing with a Domestic Violence case that was overlooked by Orange County court house in January. Not only did Wail reopen my case, but also helped me with child custody. Wail and his staff ( Jennifer, Marlene and Alex) are very knowledgeable, professional, and detailed. They were all very clear about the process and always answered any questions I had. I am forever thankful with each one of them! I had court this past Monday, 7/8 and can say Wail did help me get what he said he would. He is very professional, confident, driven and tough when needed during court hearing. I am so glad my friend Paige referred him. My case was settled and can say it exceeded my expectations!!! Thank you Wail and Staff for all of your help.

Working with Adam was a great experience. We hired Adam to handle my sister's car accident case. He was able to persuade the opposing party to fulfill their responsibilities, which they were originally trying to avoid. Adam resolved our case in a timely and professional manner. Overall, I was pleased with the quality of work and the knowledge that Adam provided. I would recommend him to my friends and family and would gladly hire him again.

Although my experience having to hire attorneys wasn’t what I wanted to do & it wasn’t a pleasant journey; it is what was needed and Moran law firm tried to make it less painful as possible. I actually found this attorneys office on a whim because I live in Vegas and the case was in Calif. The attorneys down to David, the paralegal were impeccable. No nonsense and takes care of business. I came across their name/number strolling thru the yellow pages (google). Called a few others, Moran took my case & did an excellent job. They’d keep me updated on my mother’s case, if zoom meetings were necessary, they scheduled them and my whole family would join. Had to ask some pretty intense questions but, needed to get the job done. They offered & opened up the phone lines to Myself & my family if anyone needed to reachnout to them with questions however, to minimize them from getting inundated with questions; I tried to stay on top of that. One issue, I personally think they need to handle, was the front end secretary(whatever her title is). She answers the phones. I’m not sure if she’s still there; I personally told them how rude she was; ALWAYS and I told HER how rude she was. Hopefully, something was said to her so that she changed her demeanor/attitude. I can’t recall how long it took; not too long to settle the case. Something I’d like to forget🙂. I STILL miss my mom to this day💔. Thank you Moran Law firm for a job well done.

Moran Law is one of the most professional firms I have dealt with. Their review of my case was detailed along with explaining everything up front, so I knew what to expect. Once the case was underway, their communication was prompt and detailed throughout. I never had to worry about where we were at or if I needed to do anything. Settlement was quick and I was very satisfied with the process and handling of the case. The entire firm is of the highest integrity and showed compassion for us and our circumstances. Many thanks to Mike, his partners and all his staff for helping my family through what was a very difficult and trying time for us. God Bless!!!

Ms. Douglas represented me in a personal injury case. She said at the beginning of my case that it was not worth a great deal of money. Through her hard work and research, she was able to find out details about my issues that made my case turn into one that ended up being very successful and valuable. My settlement was beyond my expectations. Her and her staff were always available by phone or email and I never had any questions or concerns that weren't immediately attended to.

I wrote an article about representation for an auto injury over 40 years ago. This review is not current and I would not want potential clients to consider Gordon Phillips based on one personal injury case in Orange County, again over 40 years ago The case was last minute, it did not go to court and it was settled for a small minimum amount.

A truck driven by a female driver (while she was doing her nails while driving) ran into our car, spun around and hit us again. I received an injury in the location of the C6 and C7 in my neck. The attorney we had, totally mishandled the case. We were two days from losing our case, because our attorney did nothing. I contacted Gordon Phillips and in two days he turned the entire case around and we won. He has helped our extended family members for over 35 years when small situations arise that we needed his advice. He is brilliant, effective, charismatic in his negotiations, never rude or condescending like some attorney's. He really cares about you, your welfare and your case. He is very protective of his clients and stays on top of everything. The small details are what are often missed in contracts and litigation, that is just one of the reasons he is so effective and amazing. The most important thing, he wins cases because he is totally prepared, has great respect for his clients and takes care of the small details. Gordon has handled multi-million-dollar cases; yes, again he wins! I would highly recommend Gordon Phillips to handle your case. I have worked with many commercial attorneys over the past 40 years in my profession and am very aware of the really great attorneys in many of the legal fields. As to personal injury attorneys, Gordon Phillips ranks at the very top of the list!

I believe that Gordon is very thoughtful and firm in his beliefs in what is right and wrong. I appreciate that he and his staff are available after hours and even on the weekends. Gordon and his staff kept me informed throughout the development of my case. I was specially impressed with Gordon's preparation at mediation. Gordon walked in with poster board exhibits and I believe that this technique truly helped settle my case at the value it settled for. I think that above everything else, Gordon strongly believes in what's right and wrong, which is a characteristic that not too many people have anymore. Lastly, I strongly believe that with Gordon's extensive experience, the complexities of my case were represented very well. I have recommended many friends and family to Gordon and I will continue to do so in the future.

Friendly informative customer service. My lawyer's case worker made me feel very comfortable during my long total loss process. While i was CAR LESS . My case was very difficult since the other person did not admit she ran the red light! But my Attorney fought long and hard and even though it took some time i was always kept in the loop which was perfect for me since my work hours didnt allow me to call during the day for status updates. Ms. Rubio always spoke to me after office hours. She always took my call when i called her cell phone. Now i got a new car and im happy. i will gladly recommend this office. Over all im very happy with my new car and hope you are too.

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.
