The Johnston Law Firm was truly a Godsend for my husband and our family during a very difficult time. His workers' comp case was overwhelming, especially when we tried to handle it ourselves after local attorney's wouldn't help. When things became too complex, we reached out to Johnston Law Firm, and it was the best decision we made. Jonathan and Brandi immediately stepped in, rolling up their sleeves and taking control of the situation. They consistently kept us informed, answered every question with patience, and explained every step in clear, understandable terms. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, my husband's case settled for much more than we ever expected. If you're facing a workers' compensation issue, here's my advice: 1) Don't try to navigate it alone-workers' comp attorneys are there for a reason, and 2) Contact Johnston Law Firm, LLC. You'll be in the best hands possible!

I am extremely grateful for the outstanding service I received from Farrah and Farrah. Miss Glory Paul, in particular, was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the beginning, she handled my case with the utmost professionalism, making sure every detail was thoroughly addressed. Her kindness and genuine concern for my well-being made me feel confident and supported throughout the entire process. Miss Paul stayed on top of my case, ensuring that I received everything I was rightfully owed, and she always kept me informed of any updates or changes.
Farrah and Farrah exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of expert legal representation. They are not only knowledgeable but also deeply committed to their clients’ needs. If you are looking for a legal team that genuinely cares and will fight for you, look no further than Farrah and Farrah.

I have dealt with Wilbur Owens as counsel on opposite sides of cases and in the mediation arena. He is always prepared, extremely knowledgeable about the law, and a client advocate. If I had a personal injury claim, I would ask him to represent me.

If I can put no stars I would. He basically has too much going on , very rude, has no contact with clients, has vendettas against judges. If you’re looking for decent representation he’s not even the guy for that. Will have you blind the whole time and you paid your hard earned money for NOTHING!

Mr. Bateski represented me back in 2008 before I knew of this website. It was a serious matter. My dad had a friend who recommended Mr. Bateski
We had a few meetings discussing the case and law. My situation was explained to me. I was left to make my own choices. He stated that he had to be prepared to go to trial regardless of what happens during the hearings. He was competent in court.
He represented me and protected my rights in court and phone calls with the judge and DA. Ultimately, my case was not prosecuted so we never started a trial and I cannot comment on his work in trial.
This other reviewer talking about anxiety is not like what I remember. I would not call him the worst lawyer as that reviewer did.
Since we didn't go to trial he refunded most of his retainer. His retainer was very reasonable in the first place. I think he charged much less than other lawyers would've charged.

I received a speeding citation 2 years ago in GA while driving from FL back home to NC. Without knowing all my rights I paid the fine because I was out of state. About 3 months later I was sent a second fine for the same ticket (super speeder fine). Again, I was out of state and unfortunately just paid the ticket. Then GA finally got around to notifying my home state about the citation almost two years after the fact and they sent me a notice that my drivers license was being revoked for 6 mths. Mr. Bateski advised me very well and worked with the court in GA on my behalf. Ultimately, Mr. Bateski got the original citation vacated in GA, which saved my license in NC. I am so grateful for his dedication, speed with handling my case and responsiveness. I hope to never need an attorney again, but if I do he will be the one!

MR. BATESKI IS THE WORST LAWYER TO GET. ALTHOUGH HE IS CHEAP, HE HAS ANXIETY ISSUES AND GETS VERY NERVOUS WHEN IN COURT. I HAD A SIMPLE CITY ORDINANCE AND BEFORE I COULD EVEN SAY ANYTHING HE HAD ALREADY AGREED TO TAKE A PLEA THAT WOULD HAVE RUINED MY CAREER. HE THEN WENT ON TO GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY BEFORE I HAD TO GET STERN AND ALMOST MOTIVATE HIM TO DO HIS JOB! I EVEN HAD TO TELL HIM TO SAY WHEN TALKING WITH THE JUDGE...PATHETIC!

This lawyer did not communicate with us until it was too late to pursue other avenues, stating he couldn't find this or get a reply from anyone. What a complete waste of time. He does not possess the skills of Craig Jones, Ralph Goldberg or any other top notch litigators. I wouldn't recommend this lawyer to nobody

Mr. Mance is the kind of lawyer who will talk you through the whole process of what you are facing and reassure you, and it is clear that he knows his stuff! He is up-to-date on the science surrounding various kinds of injuries, while explaining things in a way that anyone could understand. I trust him completely and would recommend him to anyone, including my own mother, which I did. She had nothing but great things to say about him and what an “amazing young man” he is and how very smart he is. This guy is clearly all about his clients.

Mr. Carson was hesitant at both of my trials, I had to stand up and say objection myself. He only had one defense, which was my client wasn't on the scene, which the Supreme Court Of Bulloch County doesn't care about. I ended up with a life sentence without parole.

This lawyer did not do his job effectively. In fact he told me I was being railroad in my custody case during consultation and assure he could help me. John did the complete opposite and allowed me to be railroad by Bryan county lawyers and judges. He knew he couldn’t fight those unethical court officials. The GAL in the case he claim he knew personally. The judge recused himself on the day of a prior hearing and John was hired as the Judge gave me 45 days (giving temporary custody to opposing party)
John suggested mediation and another judge was hired to perform a long 4 hour mediation. John didn’t go over mediation with me prior to this day, however, he billed me for it. There was a final decree in which I had no clue was changed in favor of the opposing party. John never went over those changes with me. Things I never agreed on was in the final order, but not on the form I signed during mediation. The change was a total nightmare as I had to make accommodations which cost me my job. I do not recommend this attorney. He took my money and did absolutely nothing. I will forever remember how I was treated unethically.

Will came on strong recommendation thanks to the practice's reputation out of Atlanta. We had very high hopes. Will is such a friendly man with an excellent staff. He knows the ins and outs of adoption, however knowledge can't trump the lack of everything else in the process. Getting a call or email back from him was next impossible. Now, I understand many people in today's day expect people to answer their calls immediately or even within an hour. I'm usually cool at the 24-48 hour mark. We went weeks without getting emails and calls returned. It took literally me calling every 10 minutes until someone answered, which usually didn't happen. Ultimately, we got to the point where we couldn't handle the no response and went with another attorney who finished everything up in a few weeks. It didn't help that I was called by his mother out of the Atlanta office when he disappeared and was pretty much dismissed, insulted and intimidated. The office is convenient and they rest on a stellar history in adoption cases. If you want knowledge, you're in excellent hands when you get them to share it with you.

I retained Mrs. Rehal to represent me in my Divorce proceedings. She took my money and withdrew from the case without warning the day before I was suppose to go to court. I filed a petition before the court to not let her drop my case and the Judge denied it. I had to hire another attorney, pay another retainer and other fees. Mrs. Rehal refused to answer any calls, letters, or inquiries as to why she dropped my case the day before my divorce proceedings were to begin. She did not return my money and she did not provide me with any legal services.

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.
