I was in a car accident back in November 2017. I tried working with their insurance company with no success. A coworker of mine used Fred during his accident recently and settled quickly. So I contacted Fred, he cared about my well-being and how he felt I was getting the typical run a round by the insurance company . He quickly jumped right on, the hospitals the other insurance company, clinics and the bill collectors that he was our lawyer so we would not be getting the phone calls anymore. Fred is in contact with me at regular basis as issues come. I strongly suggest Fred for anybody out there with the same problems I was going through. You definitely cannot get anything done trying to do this yourself with the insurance companies. He definitely knows his way around the system.

Fred Thomas runs a small office. He provides direct and personal attention to your case. Communication is consistent, through a portal, so you can track conversations and look at/provide documents. So far our case has progressed nicely...not quite done yet, but I can confidently recommend this practice.

Mr Sherrill and his staff are incredible. My case was being drawn out by poor opposing counsel (who was subsequently disbarred for three years) but Gerry and Janet kept at it and eventually got me where I needed to be! Everything was done in a timely and professional manner. I could not have asked for anything more. Hire them.

Patience, organization, tenacity, and a depth of knowledge about every eventuality are mere features of the service provided over the years by Mr. Sherrill. Along With a delightful and knowledgeable support staff, Mr. Sherrill took on a case that had already been years in the making when he began with us. From family court to appeals court to juvenile court , Mr. Sherrill has seen us through some ridiculous times in dealing with a slippery and devious ex-husband. I feel confident in recommending he take on similar cases because he has the skill and temperament to solve any family court mess and he does it in a way that is reassuring for those who hire him. Always fair but fierce, he serves up justice with a twinkle in his eye. (We think he would make a wonderful judge someday.)

Mr, Sherrill was by far the best lawyer I could have asked for. He went above and beyound to help me with my case and make sure i fully understood what was going on. His intelligence and full knowledge of the law made it easy for him to be straight to the point and vocal with me so i never felt confused, worried, or left with tons of questions. He wasted no time in getting my case handled. Where as the laywer I had before kept going in circles, dragging it onand making me feel very worried about whats to come. But that wasnt the case when I let him go and got Mr. Sherrill on my side! after going in circles for months he took my case and had it handled and finished in weeks and i was very happy with the outcome. This is why he has been in the buisness for 29 years, he truly loves what he does,cares about his cilents, and will never beat around the bush! thats why I will always highly recommend him and say hes the best!

He is an excellent attorney. He handled a number of cases for my son, who had gotten into serious trouble. He is timely, accurate, honest, a little brusque, which is what my son needed. I would recommend him for any criminal, dui, traffic violations, etc.

I have been an actual client. I do not recommend him due to his breech of confidentiality. It is a fact that he spoke to a personal family member about me in a derogatory fashion. This was well over a year that the case had been closed. This was very painful for my family and unprofessional.

5000 dollars for him to show up and pretty much bend over for the prosecutors. He will not fight, he’s not a fighter at all and takes no interest after he’s been paid. Eyes always red and nose always dripping. Find someone else, you’ll thank yourself later. Don’t let the 5 reviews here fool you folks.

Jeff takes on cases that others would not normally take on. Right now it doesn’t matter what the cases he knows the law and he applies it accordingly and educates his clients from beginning to end.. I have worked with Jeff and I have watched him in trial and in the office, and he’s brilliant and I couldn’t recommend anybody better than him to be trusted with any questions or concerns you might have. 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.

My boyfriend had a pretty difficult custody case in which he was incorrectly served and had little to no custody of our son. We worked with Kirk and he gave us everything we hoped for and more. He was professional , personable , and persistent. Easy to get a hold of. I cannot recommend Stratton Law enough. I am forever thankful.

I have hired Mr. Dergo on multiple occasions to provide and review documents for my business. As an entrepreneur one needs to have sound legal documents for protection and to conduct business. Further, when entering into contracts, you definitely need a lawyer looking out for one's interests. Michael Dergo has provided me with excellent products and reviews for many years. He's a trusted partner I can always count on to protect my business interests. He's highly knowledgeable, ethical and his fees were refreshingly reasonable (as lawyer prices go)!

This attorney has NO ethics. During his felony/misdemeanor probation he egregiously violated attorney/client privilege and misrepresented facts in his testimony against a client. He boosts of his law offices and most are offices of his clients including a collections agency in Illinois. Coincidence ????? Within 30 days of his deceitful testimony against a client he petitioned the Court to terminate or modify his probation. Reward???? In my limited research of this guy, all he does in loose.

Called and made an appointment in the office. So I drove 20 minutes to the office. Once I got to the office, the front desk lady asked me who I was here to see and no name was given to me so I called them to let them know I was here (and on time). They told me they’d send someone to come get me. I sat and waited over 20 minutes. So I called them again and it went to voicemail. Waited 10 more minutes and nothing. I feel it is very unprofessional especially when there is an appointment scheduled. I had other things to do and went out of my way to get a babysitter and drive all the way down to the office. Very disappointing.

Ignores emails and doesn't work up your case. He is very rude and doesn't read documents you provide him. He expected me to prepare many of the documents needed rather than his paralegal. I will never hire him again or recommend him to anyone.

Mr. John Wilborn of "The Surrano Law Firm" is the man to consult when insurance companies tend to deny rather than comply.
Mr. Wilborn will assess your information and thoroughly explain the situation, good or bad.
Additionally, if you need a referral to a lawyer or lawyers in other cities, Mr. Wilborn can help.
Without Mr. Wilborn's help, I'd still be living on the street.
Thanks for all your help John!

I have known and worked with Terry Dunmire for years- decades, in fact. As a sole practitioner, he has tremendous experience in many areas of the law, including family, real estate and commercial law and litigation. Terry is a thoughtful and persevering lawyer who thinks through strategy and diligently prosecutes client matters.
Among other matter, I retained Terry to structure the ownership and management of a real estate rental project. The work was done quickly and economically, with no trailing legal issues.
Terry has flexible fee and compensation arrangements available for his clients. His services are very reasonably priced.

Every time we went to court, my ex had to pay 90% of atty fees. I had given Dunmire a retainer of $5,000 and after deducting the 10% of court and atty fees owed, I not only did not get a refund from the monies left over from the retainer, I received a bill for thousands more. In the end, I lost 9 years spousal support totally over $300,000 and he never even had the ethics to tell me.
Do NOT hire this guy, you are in for nothing but heartache and Trouble.

Terry handled a contract dispute and counterclaim for my partner and I in 1999. It was a frivolous business sale contract/breach/fee for services suit. The original claim was based on the fact that I had invested in an llc that was under contract for sale and that investment constituted a sale and therefore a broker fee was due the listing agent.
Pretty straightforward up til this point right? The plaintiff's attorney and the broker had been strong arming people in this manner for years. That is they would sue for fees even if no actual sale ever occurred. They had a horrible reputation and my partner wanted to hurt them.
My partner was advised that they would settle for 25k, I offered to pay just to make this go away. But Terry told him that he could counter sue based on damages arising out of the original suit. He said that we had a case against the plaintiff because were not able to re-sell our business in a timely manner, it was a night club and we had a buyer who backed out because of the pending litigation. Terry convinced my partner that he could win huge, upwards of a half a million dollars, I remained very skeptical.
Once we arrived in court however Terry's case was systematically dismissed piece by piece. Not by the arguments of the plaintiff's attorney, but by the judge!!. Finally the judge started to insult Terry, questioned where if ever he had studied. The spectators and witnesses were all laughing. Years later when Terry finally brought his fee dispute with me to arbitration the court reporter claimed that she still remembered the case because of all the laughing and said it was the worst she had seen in her 35 yr career.
What could make this worse? After the judge had dismissed both sides cases against the other was the fees. Not only were they outrageous, nearly 90k, but under the manner the judge ruled Terry could have filed for re-reimbursement from the plaintiff but didn't!!!!!
Yes you read that right.
Terry continued to hound me for years, 8 yrs., before he finally got a lien on my property out of state.
I had to pay Terry 20k to sell my home.

We hired Howard Gaines to draw up our family trust, etc. He tacked on charges every chance he could. He even tried to get us not to have our parking lot pass validated because it would cost him money, we just spent a couple thousand dollars on this paperwork...cheap, cheap, cheap!!! Let's face it, we all work for the paycheck, but this shyster is a joke. Maybe he has to nickel and dime because he's not that good, I'm not sure. I would NEVER recommend him, EVER!!

I hired him to do a set aside and he cancelled meetings and then said I didn’t show up, then basically said he was done with me and I had to file a case against him with the AZ Bar to even get my documents back. He’s a loser, spend your money elsewhere.

I hired Howard to defend a criminal traffic ticket. Initially, he was rapid to respond and seemed interested in taking on my case. After he was hired and paid, it became extremely clear that he was only interested in taking my money. I had to initiate every call with him. Even after sending all relevant documents and speaking multiple times, he still did not know the facts of my case. It was clear that he was completely uninterested in defending me and my rights. In addition, he spoke to me completely condescendingly and refused to defend me on a charge related to the traffic ticket. I lost both because I did not have adequate representation. I am so disappointed I did not read his reviews prior to hiring him. Do not make the mistake I did. There are plenty of good attorneys out there and this is not one of them.

I called today to assist one of our patients with forms he received from your office, Mr. Reynoso answered the call and was extremely rude and unprofessional. He was abrupt on the phone, he refuse to allow me to explain the reason for my call. Our office goes far and beyond to help our patients, I can clearly see this is not Mr. Reynoso's case. very unfortunate to face people like him who are clearly not happy with their job or the title has gone to their head. Feel free to call me to discuss further

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.
