Great lawyer. I mistakes on the road and I don’t have the time to go in and appear, he appears for me does his thing and no points on my license. Fair rates. Randomly found Mr. Trodden after doing a Google search years ago. Was a great find. One time he couldn’t make it sent another guy. The other guy worked the case to my liking as well. Simply a good lawyer, good firm. You can choose the one. Five stars.

I recently had the pleasure and privilege of retaining The Law Office of Kerie P Stone to represent me with my Social Security Disability case. Kerie has gone above and beyond to provide guidance, support, dedication and caring through this most difficult process. During the initial consultation Kerie is very thorough and explains everything in detail. Kerie never rushes through the interview and spends as much time as needed to explain the process. Kerie demonstrated exceptional legal skills and achieved an outstanding result in my case whereby I was approved. The process with the SSA is complicated and lengthy but I was well-represented and thoroughly supported throughout the legal process. Kerie was always available day or night, whether by phone or email to answer my questions and concerns, providing clear explanations throughout the process and putting me at ease. Her staff is equally very helpful and goes above and beyond. Kerie responds within minutes with solutions during the process. Kerie contacted me frequently to advise me of any issues and how she would address the issues. Kerie previously worked for the Social Security Administration where she developed extensive expertise and knowledge with disability cases. Kerie is dedicated, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. I can’t stress enough about the professionalism, caring, support and professionalism Kerie and her Law firm provided to me. I highly recommend The Law Office of Kerie P Stone to anyone seeking representation with all types of Social Security Disability. If you are looking for the best SSA Disability attorney stop right here and call Kerie Stone. I am fortunate and grateful to have such an exceptional attorney. Kerie is second to none. Thank You Very Much.

Howard Greenberg works magic. I highly recommend him for anyone in the finance industry. He provided me with great service. He would always return my calls promptly, and treated me as if I was his only client. I was referred to work with him because of the great work he's done with colleagues, and I recommend anyone else to work with him as well.

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional assistance I received from Lieb at Law. As a first-generation college graduate without extensive social connections, finding the right lawyer was a challenging task. From the moment I reached out, Andrew Lieb at Lieb at Law welcomed me, expressing a genuine commitment to help a fellow Smithtown friend.
Navigating my case, which involved the recognition and defense of mental and emotional health under disability rights in housing issues - was no easy feat. Many lawyers hesitated to take on my case due to its complexities and it being a grey area still. However, Lieb at Law not only accepted the challenge, but provided clear and confident guidance throughout the entire process.
Natalie Donaldson and the entire team at Lieb at Law supported me diligently over the course of more than a year, demonstrating patience. Although my case may be small in their overall operations, the impact on my life was profound. I am sincerely thankful for their unwavering support and commitment to my case. For anyone seeking compassionate and knowledgeable legal assistance, I highly recommend Lieb at Law.

Mr. Birzon was a great lawyer, handled my case with competence. After the case was done there was a misunderstanding about my file and he never called me to talk about (only sent letters to a house I had since moved from). I KNOW he had my cell number from the trial and one day a few months later he left me a voicemail that I responded to quickly. He told me he was threatening to sue me because I did not get back to him quickly enough, I explained it was a misunderstanding and I would correct the problem immediately, which I did. Apparently another lawyer suggested he call me before trying to sue (why he or his office did not call my cell before this is beyond me), if he or his office had called earlier the whole issue could have been avoided. I didn't want to end our relationship on a bad note, but he thought otherwise and told me as much in not so polite terms.

The Lenard Team has been selling Real Estate in Smithtown since 1985. We have had interactions with many local attorneys over the years and our recent experience with Mr. Birzon was exceptional. The representation he provided our mutual client was top notch. His support staff was very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgable. I would recommend this firm to anyone in the community when it comes time to buy or sell a home.

Joe did a fantastic job representing us for both the sale and purchase of our new home. He was always there both day and night to answer any and all questions and concerns in an honest and straight forward manor, advising us every step of the way with the knowledge and experience he has gained from his many years of practicing law. Not only did he made it possible for us to close on both properties on the same afternoon he made it an enjoyable and stress free endeavor. This is our second time using his services as he also has taken care of our wills in the past, I highly recommend him and will be using his services the next time a need arises.

Tried calling several times for representation ,but he never responded and when I finally got someone in the phone the guy who answered was super rude and stated “Mr. Stein does not accept sales calls”.I responded “ sir I’m in need of representation this is not a sales call”. He repeated “no sales calls” and then hung up. I was totally confused by what happened,but if this is a suggestion of his services well I’d be in trouble.

he had my case for over a year assured me that we did have a case against my doctor as well as the manufacturer of the device but then sat on his hands as well as my case for a year. Didn't return calls, then when the statue of limitations was almost up he discharged my case, leaving me to scramble to find another lawyer to clean up the mess he left me with. His excuse because I couldn't find a doctor to take over my care because of how bad the previous doctor messed me up he couldn't represent me because there wasn't proff of damage, the proff was staring him in the face in the xrays and the fact the other doctors didn't want to touch my case.

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.
