Needing help with fighting an OOP, Colby was referred to me and I now know why. Not only was his office kind and professional, Colby was amazing. He made time to meet with me to prep before the hearings. He answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable going into the hearing. Colby knows his stuff! We ended in my favor and I would recommend him over and over. If ever needing help again, I’ll be calling Colby.

I retained Stone Rose Law to represent me for a personal injury matter. I'm also an injury adjuster and after dealing with a certain commercial carrier who low balled me I retained Colby and his team and he was clear, kind, and committed to pursue this claim for the justice and compensation I deserved. I strongly recommend this firm if you have a legit injury and need actually legitimate counsel that's ethical and fair. His team also helped a bunch and were all really friendly and responsive. I hope not to be injured again but if I am, I know who I have set in Stone to retain as my attorneys!

Navigating the adjustment of status and green card application process can be incredibly overwhelming, and I found myself unsure of where to turn for help. Fortunately, my online research led me to Zubkoff Law, and I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service I received throughout my journey. From the very first consultation, their team demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that immediately put me at ease. They guided me step-by-step through the entire process with support and knowledge. I was thrilled to receive my green card approval without an interview something I had not anticipated, and it was all thanks to the diligent work of Zubkoff Law. They guided me through every step, ensuring that all my paperwork was in order and that I understood each part of the process. The communication was outstanding; they kept me informed at every stage, and I always felt like I could reach out with any questions or concerns. What impressed me the most was how quickly everything was processed. The approval came through a month after being submitted. I highly recommend Zubkoff Law to anyone seeking immigration assistance. Their expertise and commitment to their clients truly make a difference. Thank you, Zubkoff Law, for helping me and my family.

I hired Amy in the wave of a very stressful, emotional time as my special needs son was facing some serious charges for a bad night of dysregulation. From the beginning Amy was a calming, reassuring presence. She was responsive to all my questions, gave specific advice and helped me understand the process of Juvenile justice very clearly. As soon as I spoke to her and decided to hire her, I immediately felt like I had the right person on my team and my stress reduced immensely. Amy represented my son with compassion and professionalism and my son absolutely loved and trusted her. In the end, Amy's hard work and guidance resulted in a very positive outcome. While I hope I never need to use her services again, I feel better knowing that I have someone I can go to for help and would not hesitate to hire her again!

Amy was a dream to work with. I hired her to help on a case with my father and I wouldn’t change it for the world. She truly, truly cares. She does not view you just as another “check”. During the entire process my grandmother and I had many questions and she was never too busy to answer them via call or email. She takes the time to go over every detail and aspect of the case, the justice system and what to expect going forward. She treats her clients with compassion, kindness and thoughtfulness. Hiring Amy was single handedly the best decision me and my family has ever made. She was there for my father on one of the toughest days of his life and was able to calm him and get him to move forward knowing the difficult choice he had to face. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer. She truly is the best.

I retained Stanna Slater to represent me in a matter that seemed minor at the outset, but soon morphed into a dispute over citizens’ rights relying on “plain English” interpretation of State law. Stanna’s legal arguments based on the equity rights of estoppel – intelligently researched and persuasively articulated – should have led to a quick and equitable compromise resolution of the matter. Met with intransigence on the other side, though, she carried her arguments to the next level, eventually leading to recusal of the opposing attorneys and a prompt judicial ruling in my favor. Stanna Slater exhibits qualities everyone would like to have in their attorney…the highest professional competence; tenacity in the pursuit of justice; prompt and courteous communication with her client. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and clients.

Stanna Slater does not quit. That is her genius. She also has an unerring sense of what drives bureaucracies and how to use that to client advantage. Stanna prevailed where others left off; Lambda Legal, ACLU...none were able to stay the course. Today I have victory over a four year battle with Social Security Administration to receive my rightful Widow's Survivor Benefits. At every turn reasons were thrown in our path like nails strewn in the road to halt our progress. Didn't work. We prevailed. And I do mean we, for that is another essential attribute that Stanna processes...she works with the client not in front of our in spite of. This is a strategy that works very well for victory...clients often have just that piece of information that is essential to the next 'win'. Without her I would have been defeated, received nothing, gone ashamed and begging. Instead I stand proud as the surviving spouse of an amazing long term thirty-one year Lesbian relationship. We Won, folks. Marcia , surviving spouse of Ellen

I had been involved in a car accident where the other driver was cited (at fault) causing significant personal injuries and totaling my car. Settlement was quick regarding the car, however, a less than adequate dollar amount was offered for myself. I knew I now needed legal counsel. I was repelled by the bombardment of legal TV ads. I did lengthy research and opted for Paul. My expectations were exceeded. Without fail - both Paul and/or Marcella were quick to respond to all questions and boosted confidence in my choice with this firm. RESULT- Five times the original dollar amount offered was awarded. I can’t emphasize enough my appreciation for Paul Englander

Outstanding Representation by Paul Englander! After my serious auto accident left me feeling lost and uncertain, I was incredibly fortunate to have Paul Englander by my side. From the very first consultation, his attentiveness, expertise, and genuine care put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, Paul's meticulous attention to detail was truly impressive. He meticulously gathered evidence, investigated every avenue, and kept me informed every step of the way. His clear communication and willingness to answer all my questions, no matter how small, gave me immense peace of mind during a very stressful time. What truly sets Paul apart, however, is his unwavering dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. His strategic approach and skillful negotiation resulted in a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. His commitment to justice and my well-being was evident in every interaction. Without a doubt, Paul is an exceptional attorney. He possesses a rare blend of legal expertise, compassion, and dedication that makes him a true advocate for his clients. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking legal representation.

The unthinkable struck my family, and my husband and I were in need of serious legal advice, and more importantly, answers. We are forever grateful for the referral we received for DeFusco Law. When so many others would not listen, Andy was the only attorney who did. We were deeply grieving the death of our oldest son, and our situation required both a criminal and civil case. Andy, Bryn, and Rachael were compassionate, knowledgeable, and thoroughly answered all of our questions for both cases. They worked diligently to resolve our civil case, and we were absolutely surprised and grateful that Andy and Bryn wanted to guide us through the criminal process as well! Although it took far longer than we all anticipated (4 1/2 years), they remained fully dedicated and stuck by our side every step of the way. Hearing after hearing, Bryn and/or Andy always showed up! It was a blessing to have them represent and support us through these difficult times. We highly recommend DeFusco Law!

We can't say enough good things about Knapp and Roberts. Craig represented my brothers and me against a big insurance company and negotiated a very favorable settlement. The insurance company lawyer was really tough, but Craig was able to keep the discussions on the most relevant considerations in spite of all the opposition's maneuvering. Part of the case included making a winning and precedent-setting argument before the AZ Supreme Court! He was also very pleasant to work with, and very ably explained the topics that we needed to focus on.

aising a child with special needs is a journey. Never in a million years did I expect myself to be in need of an attorney to walk along side of me for another leg of the journey after a horrific incident. I thank God that Knapp & Roberts was the firm we chose to help us navigate an extremely difficulty time in our lives. The dynamic duo of Craig Knapp and David Friedman was a force to be reckon with. Ways I describe Craig: a fearless ethical leader, compassionate, brilliant, trusts his instincts, personally responds to correspondences and provides emotional support every step of the way. David is passionate, assertive, extremely knowledgeable, articulate, detail oriented and caring. Craig and David were so diligent over 4 years that it took to get our case settled. It took going to a jury trial that they handled in a professional manner. They found ethical experts to testify, kept us informed, helped us cope with the emotionally draining days in court and worked tirelessly. We felt genuinely taken care of like family and they had our best interest at heart the entire time. I am so glad we trusted them with our case and would absolutely recommend Knapp & Roberts.

Craig was one of many lawyers I interviewed for the wrongful death lawsuit of a family member at an Assisted Living Facility. From the first time we spoke, he was compassionate, kind and up front about the type of settlement he thought we could receive. He gave me his cell phone number and he was always quick to respond to calls, texts and emails. He was professional as well as empathetic to my loss. In the end he got us a much larger settlement than we expected. I would highly recommend Craig, and Knapp and Roberts, to anyone dealing with a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

She explained everything so I could understand it. Her prices are also very good for all that I got. I highly recommend this very professional Law firm.

If you’re in an unfortunate situation that you need an attorney to help you, guide you, tell you the truth, and advocate for you? Jeff is the attorney for you.

Shane Miller changed the trajectory of my life. I was facing three felony charges and he managed to get them reduced to a misdemeanor. Throughout my lengthy case Shane was attentive and quick to answer any questions or concerns I had either by phone or text. I’m not the type of person that takes the time to write reviews for services but in this case I feel compelled to. I’m sure there are other attorneys that are also punctual and professional, but I felt that Shane cared about not only my case, but my well being even when I didn’t care about my own. That’s not my experience with other attorneys and I believe that’s something money can’t buy.

Shane was referred to me after a car accident that happened my senior year of high school. Right after the accident Shane took the time to explain how the procedure worked and to not stress about our medical expenses and to focus on getting better. Following the accident I attended physical therapy for three months and saw four total physicians. Shane took detailed account of all of the expenses and physicians. Although the process took some time Shane was very detailed. Any time I had questions or needed to reach out he was there to follow up with me. I was very happy with how smooth this case was and I’m very happy with the results he got me from my case. I’d recommend his services to anyone that needs help after an accident. Due to him I was able to recover from my accident, have proper care, and make a little bit of money to pay off my new car and still have left over. Even if results take time he will make sure he gives you the best care starting out and all the way to the end of our case

Mr. Warner was recommended to me after I was involved in an auto accident where the other driver turned into me and totaled my car. From the very beginning Shane’s personal concern was evident when he made sure that my medical needs were taken care of. The case proved quite challenging, but Shane persisted in a knowledgeable and professional manner. Thanks to his perseverance the settlement was significantly more than I had anticipated. I would highly recommend Shane Warner for legal representation.

I was the victim of a car accident where the driver blew through a red light and hit me on the passenger side, in which at the time I was 28 weeks pregnant. Shane was very professional and knowledgeable regarding auto accident injury claims and how to navigate the claim to get the best possible results. He made sure I was taken care of medically by referring me to physicians and a physical therapy practice. He did not back down and was very thorough when pursuing a settlement on my behalf. He was able to get the maximum amount for me due to his negotiating skills and expertise. Thanks again Shane for your dedicated work.

We were new to the area and trying to figure out which was the best lawyer seemed such a task while in recovery. A few lawyers were recommended to us, one of which was A.J.Mitchell. After speaking with him on the phone and then meeting him in person we were positive that he was the one to choose. He was caring, compassionate, personable and genuine and took ample time to make sure all of our questions were answered and all information was gathered. Throughout the whole process, he has remained as such! His expertise is unlimited and he has searched every avenue for us to make sure all grounds were covered. He has been extremely diligent and it shows that he takes great pride in both his work and his clients.

Mr. Curry was able to get the indecent exposure charge dropped when a convenience store camera he subpoenaed showed that my genitalia was not exposed. Furthermore, he was able to get the DUI charge reduced to a 6 month suspended sentence since there were no credible witnesses or evidence proving I was driving over the curb.

I selected this law firm solely based on convenience and lack of research, my fault. Their staff is very friendly and pleasant to deal with; I will give them that. However, as my attorney, Brice was not a good fit for my case. My case involved one minor child. The goal was to have the ability to move out of state with my child. Brice had ample information and time to prepare a rock solid case on my behalf. Well, he did not do that. He went into court very unprepared, had a very sloppy and weak cross examination. He failed to mention very pertinent details involving my child and her father. Didn’t highlight the benefits for the move. I could go on and on, but ultimately I was highly disappointed with Brice’s service and out 30k. Do your research before selecting any firm!

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.
