It is with high recommendation that anyone seeking attorney representation, one seriously need consider Mr. Josh Joerres. I personally have used representation with Mr. Joerres, pertaining to a product liability and home owner’s insurance claim. After dealing with my homeowners insurance, the manufacturer and their insurance company concerning the faulty product I found myself in over my head with nowhere to go except beating my head against the wall. I contacted Mr. Joerres whom was very concerned of my situation. Mr. Joerres in my dealings were positive, he took the time to listen, and to explain as well always followed through with the appropriate course of action, which ultimately led to a very positive result. Again I highly recommend Mr. Josh Joerres, an attorney who really does the right thing and has a very personal approach to each client’s distinct situation.

I utilized Mr. Macdonald’s services from 2015-2018 for divorce. Despite the often chaotic and emotional nature of the process, John was a steady hand and mind and a trustworthy advocate. His arguments were well made and with precedent. He practiced with integrity and had the necessary patience when dealing with an adversary lacking these character traits. For context, this is the 5th positive review I’ve made online and for anyone facing a similar situation, I would highly recommend considering him as your legal representation.

Andy is the most professional, tenacious, and relentless attorney I have used over the last 15 years. I have used him for numerous legal situations ranging from property disputes, landlord tenant act, and overall general legal counsel. He is the first attorney I call when a potential situation could arise. He is phenomenal to work with and has always exceeded my expectations.
If you use Andy – feel good he is representing your legal situation! I have recommended him to several of my friends and family and will continue to recommend.
I can’t say enough about how good he is!

I have been friends with Andy for more than a decade, but a business entanglement was what finally gave me the opportunity to avail myself of his expert services. What started as a simple debt collection matter turned into a near trial. Andy was prepared for all phases, and while he was encouraging us to do smart things along the way that would have shortened his engagement with us, he was fully prepared (and maybe looking forward to) going the distance. He was directly involved in all phases of the case, from deposition to mediation, and took it as his personal mission to see that we got a satisfactory result in the end. I highly recommend Andy and his firm for your legal matters.

Having a young lawyer assigned your case can initially send shivers through the spine of a defendant. After our first few meetings with Ana, we recognized her ability to thoroughly research the allegations, their non-significance as it pertains to laws, and the facts of the case. She prepared a straight forward defense, and in the end, won our case via a dismissal.
She is a quick study, and learned a lot about the rules and laws pertaining to our business. She knows when to ask for help from others, and will keep you well informed of events.
I highly recommend having Ana on your side of the table.

I’ve used Mr. Scruggs services several times over the last few years. He is extremely competent, very knowledgeable and hard-working. He has managed to get a favorable result for me each and every time. I know he has a number of large clients and despite the fact that my cases have been of a smaller to mid-sized nature, he always makes me feel I’m as important to him as his major clients. I would not consider using any other attorney.

I was most impressed with how ethical he is. This was an LLC agreement with my siblings and me. Mr. Scruggs was very clear about trying to come up with something that would be best for the group and yet making it clear throughout that he represented me and that my siblings should have the agreement reviewed by their own counsel. He seemed very fair and logical. He is also extremely knowledgeable, competent and efficient. I will go back to him if I have the need.
My only criticism is that he is very busy and didn't always return my calls immediately. He always got back to me, but sometimes it wasn't right away.

I was in a hit and run accident. My insurance company is known for paying out very little and most times having to be sued instead of settling.
I did not have "PIP" but did have uninsured motorist. I was informed by the insurance company when I signed up that I really did not need PIP because I had medical included in my coverage. Turned out after my accident it really was not much due to the fact that I have permanent damage and will be on medication for the rest of my life and require more treatments. Mike Jacobs fought for me. My payout was the "MAXIMUM" amount of coverage I had for my medical and in addition a payout of almost $14,000.00 to fix my automobile "without totaling my car". This was all settled out of court.
I'm so grateful Mike took my case.
He was always so respectful and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him.

Recently my wife and I had occcasion to need an auto accident lawyer. We are very picky about who does legal work for us and how it is done. Mike has not disapppointed us. He and his team have been efficient, timely, and helpful. And even though ours is not the biggest case in the world, Mike has taken the time to explain things and to apply his strategic thinking and skill to our case. Highly recommended !!!

I used the Walthew Law Firm for a recent legal matter and could not recommend them more highly. They were successful in negotiating a settlement on my behalf, at a significantly higher amount than I expected. Moreover, my attorney, Jon Winemiller, and his paralegal, Melina Karadzic, were quick to respond to all of my questions and helped me to close the matter on my behalf efficiently and effectively. I felt like I had a strong team of advocates on my side throughout the process. I would not hesitate to retain Walthew and Jon Winemiller in the future.

If anyone needs legal counsel, Jon Winemiller and Vanessa Gullufsen are the people to see. We live a fair distance from Seattle, and it was worth the long drive in sleet and snow to see them. My wife and I ran into very complicated and confusing legal problems when we got a huge bill about which we had no idea. The legal issues involved two gigantic businesses that don't communicate with each other or their clients. Jon, Vanessa and the rest of the staff put our needs first. From the first contact, they let us know that they were bringing all their expertise to the table, keeping us in the loop. They explained what was going on in terms we could understand. They gave us our options, and we left the meeting with a clear sense of what we should do next in order to resolve things.

I met with Jonathan for a consultation about a potential lawsuit. He was very attentive and extremely knowledgeable about the law. Jonathan and I did not end up working together as my claim was not a great fit for his firm, but I was so impressed with him that I have referred 3 different people to him. He has successfully represented everyone I have referred to him, and if I ever am in a position where I need PI representation I will definitely hire Jonathan.

Young-Ji, alongside her law firm partner Jenna Labourr of Washington Injury Lawyers, represented me for a wrongful termination/disability discrimination case against my former small business employer.
Jenna and Young-Ji assisted me in navigating negotiations successfully. Young-Ji did her homework and asked some tough, thorough questions which helped uncover useful information. My result surpassed both my former employer’s “final offer” and the mediator’s expectations.
When my former employer said he wanted to make most of the settlement in “wages” Jenna and Young-Ji proposed a different categorization so both sides wouldn’t have to pay as much in taxes.
I highly recommend Young-Ji and Washington Injury Lawyers. They may deliver where others can’t!

Helped me beat an accident ticket, by thorough use and understanding of applicable laws. And had the Judge amused at the inability of the Prosecuting attorney to mount any relevant legal response to the argument.--

Even though I talked to this attorney on an initial phone consultation, I was impressed with his detailed oriented style, probing question and genuine caring to understand my situation and help. He was very knowledgeable and confident, yet was able to acknowledge areas that he was not specialized in, that came up during my case discussion. I know that if I decide to go through with a divorce, I will be contacting him to ask him to be my attorney. Impressive and much higher level of service than anticipated!

Patricia Anderson represented our family through our darkest years. A few years ago our son, expecting his first child, was killed by an impaired untrained driver who had not been drug tested at the collision. Ms. Anderson supported us every step of the way, kept in contact as needed and reassured us all along the path. We felt safe in both her hands and her partners. She is also an extremely bright and smart lawyer. She thinks problems through in s calm and organized way before making decision. She is also just plain nice: she is a good person with great values. The harm to our family can never be fixed but she assured the future security of our granddaughter and daughter-in-law. I highly recommend Ms. Anderson.

I cannot recommend David Dawson highly enough. I was injured in an auto accident, and the insurance adjuster offered me $10,000. I was completely naïve as to how to proceed, so I called David, which turned out to be a life-changing decision in the truest sense. Because of him, I was awarded $200,000 – the absolute highest possible. Throughout the whole process, he took care of all the legwork so that I could focus on healing and moving on with my life. If you’ve been injured in an auto accident and don’t know what to do, I highly recommend you call David. It may just change your life.

I engaged Mr. Kraft as my attorney in 2014 after another car collided into me at a high speed on the freeway. My car was wrecked, I sustained several injuries and I didn't know where to go to get help. After discussing the incident with Mr. Kraft, what needed to be done became much more clear. He handled all correspondence with the at fault party's insurance & made the process very straightforward. Working with Mr. Kraft gave me peace of mind that I was going to be made whole after all was said and done. I now have the care that I need to get by and he was able to negotiate a settlement that I am very pleased with. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Kraft to anybody who sustains serious injury and needs to make a claim. I am forever grateful for the successful results that he provided.

Earlier this year, I learned that I had to pay several years of back child support. I only had a small amount of money to offer for both, my future attorney and the mother of my child.
Having been in legal trouble before, I have had several experiences with attorneys. The first attorney that I spoke with about this issue used a song-and-dance that I heard before,"I can do this...if...if... then if....maybe...". The one thing that the first atorney was certain of was his price. His price was twice as much as I would end up spending, well beyond what I could afford and the money that my family would end up lending me to settle this issue.
The second attorney that I spoke with was also named "Marcus". He wanted about half as much as the first attorney, but only had a couple of years experience. However, he was willing to offer payments. Being a person with very limited resources, I thought I would call him back. When I called "Marcus" back, I heard a different voice. The voice was soft spoken and very articulate. I thought I had the wrong number. As I would soon learn... I did have the wrong number.
I had actually dialed the number of Marcus Lang, a Seattle, Washington attorney that has been handling personal injury, wills and family cases for more than 20 years. After admitting my mistake, Marcus was kind enough to listen to the details regarding my current situation and past history (he offers a free 30 minute consultation). He not only said he could help, but made me feel confident that he could help. Very importantly, he offered to handle the case for $500 less than the previous attorney named "Marcus" that I had called.
I know $500 may not be alot to many of you, but to me, it could be the difference between being homeless or not.
After a couple months of negotiating, Marcus was able to get the amount that I had owed down to a fraction of the original amount. After pleading with family members and friends, I was able to get a couple of loans to satisfy the settlement. Throughout the entire time, Marcus responded promptly to my emails and was very professionally. When my finances were exhausted at the end, he worked for next to nothing. Unlike ANY of the other attorneys that I have had reperesent me, Marcus Lang has been the only one to care about doing his job professionally and my welfare. If you need an attorney, Marcus is the best! Thank you, Marcus.

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.
