So I was referred to Attorney rouse by a good friend of my mother. I’m a cdl driver so I was looking for someone to help me with a major traffic violation that could have my license revoked for a long time. I called Mr. Rouse and he was very open about how we could go about things and what we should do moving forward with the case. He actually was very reasonable with pricing and worked with me as far as my budget. He advised me before I went to court to take a driver improvement course and to do some community service to make it a little easier on myself before going in front of the judge.this was actually great advice. We went to court and to my surprise the clerks and judge knew him on first name basis(that made me feel good) everything that he asked for , the judge granted. I left the court room only with a 300 dollar fine and no points on my cdl. Well later that night I didn’t know the rules as far as punishment for serious violations for cdl drivers. I check the dds and my cdl is suspended for 10 years, for a major lifetime violation. I immediately called attorney rouse and informed him. He advised me that the only thing we possibly could do was withdraw the plea. Normally with most lawyers, after the case is closed you have to pay another fee just to consult again. Attorney rouse was at the court house the next morning, I met him there and we withdrew the plea. Days passed by and I was weary because i was in fear of losing my livelihood. Attorney rouse advised me that since the head solicitor was not willing to give us a lesser please maybe we should try a bench trial. In my head when I think of trial, if you lose it could be bad for you. Of course this came with another fee, I really didn’t wanna try it but I took a step out in faith and trusted attorney rouse’s suggestion. We went to the bench trial and attorney rouse ate them alive. He told me months before, “ you could possibly beat this off of a technicality” I’m thinking nah man I’m cooked! Attorney rouse did his research and I walk out of the court room acquitted, all charges dropped. Before the trial attorney rouse and I talked about the fans leaving the stadium in the at the Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa game and they still won. I’m not gonna lie I thought I was doomed but I watched him work in that court room for 2 hours straight, objection after objection…. When we walked out he looked at me and said you left the stadium but we won in OT! Hire this firm…. We highly recommend this guy. He’s straight up and down

I was referred to Attorney Rouse after a few consultations I made with other attorneys that didn’t go quite so well. You can probably only imagine all the anxiety and stress that builds up by not knowing what to exactly expect (much like most) in an unfamiliar situation like this. I must say, most of my concerns, my questions and options were pretty much communicated to me in layman’s terms, I felt a sense of ease and quite impressed with my experience in every point of communication. Attorney Rouse was always professional and very patient with making sure he educates you on his knowledge and strategy so you will leave the conversation with some comfort in knowing that both parties are clear in regards to the desired outcome in mind so you just simply have to “Trust the Process”! I must admit by making the choice to choose Attorney Rouse for representation, the overall experience completely exceeded my all of my expectations. For anyone looking to work with an Attorney, who operates with integrity, professionally in such a manner that is not usually represented in the field of Attorneys(I really wish I did not have to point this out), I would definitely (highly) suggest that you reach out Attorney Rouse for consultation. You will quickly realize why you would choose him to represent you. Thank you for creating a safe space/ judgement free zone for clients and giving them an opportunity to be heard. I wish you much success in your future.

I was having a lot of trouble getting paid for injuries received during an auto accident. I had been trying for six months to reach a fair settlement but was getting nowhere. I was referred to Mr. Groff by a neighbor. Money well spent. After I met with him he quickly got to work and in 45 days the insurance wrote me a check for 4x what they had originally offered me. Outstanding work and professionalism. I would recommend and use his services again.

Generally with most attorneys the initial consultation is free as was the case with David. However David saw me again without charge even though my case was too small to require an attorney and gave me excellent advise on managing my own case so that I could recuperate bills and damages. The particular insurance company was dragging its feet about offering a settlement and David gave me advise on navigating their bureaucracy. It worked. They offered a settlement and surprise, surprise it is under fair value as David predicted they would. David even provided the form for me to file on my own behalf in the case. He is the first attorney I would contact. Very honest, straightforward, and has excellent experience dealing with cases.

Attorney Melanie and her team have been exceptionally outstanding since retaining her for my divorce.
Her stance is diligent, and one of great dignity. Her representation has always been “ to the point” and she supports her clients in all capacity.
She is not an attorney that will use unnecessary tactics to delay your case because she understands the pain and hurt that it places on the children of these divorces.
Her commitment and respect to you the client, and the courts as well is by far, top tier.
I highly suggest anyone looking for an attorney with integrity, utilize her services.
She has been around for quite awhile and she’s not an attorney “out to make a quick buck”.
Her overall rating is beyond the stars the you place in these reviews, because Attorney Melanie, and her team, “still operate with high morals, ethics, principles and within law, so that the system and other unethical lawyers, don’t take advantage of her clients!!!!
I could literally write a book on the service and commitment that Melanie and her team have exhibited!

I would like to give Fenwick Thompson & Associates a huge THANK YOU!! I was referred to Attorney Melanie Fenwick Thompson from an another attorney that couldn’t take my case because of the county I reside in. That attorney referred me to Attorney Melanie Fenwick Thompson. Melanie and her team provided me with a quick detailed consultation so that I could explain my case and she explained my options. Her and her team are very thorough and got my divorce moving fast. All our communication was done on there client portal for tracking purposes which really helped. This way if I couldn’t remember something I could always go back to my portal. It took about 8 months to get my divorce finalized and everything was done via email communication through the portal. I never had to appear in court or to Melanie’s office for anything. I would definitely recommend Fenwick Thompson & Associates to anyone who needs a good attorney on their side. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to represent me.
Thanks again!

Prior to hiring Attorney Melanie Thompson, I made the mistake of hiring a cheap lawyer who cost me way more than money. Because I made the mistake of hiring the wrong lawyer, I had over 3 different judges look at me as a person with no dignity, no integrity, no honor, which almost caused me to lose custody of both my children (ages 1 and 4 months). After hiring Attorney Melanie Thompson, she quickly restored my dignity, integrity, and honor to the judge in court. Not only did she take me on as a new client (while she was on vacation), she showed empathy and offered another viewpoint that gave me hope. I had faith in the process and her wisdom as an experienced lawyer. I’m happy to say I have both my children and grateful that they will know me, their mother, the one who birth and cared for them, all thanks to the hard work Attorney Melanie Thompson and her team did to restore my credibility. I am truly grateful! I got more than hope back, I got my life back!
Thank you all again 10 times over!!! If you are in a situation where you need a lawyer, don’t go to the cheap lawyers, they could cost you more than just money, they can cost you your life and your freedom. Hire Attorney Melanie Thompson and her team as they are professional and they will provide you impeccable representation.

I have gone to Mr. Blank on several occasions from asking for his assistance on legal documents to helping represent me in a car accident. He has never steered me wrong, with his years of experience and wealth of knowledge. He was patient and kind as he explained things to me in layman’s terms. What I appreciate most is that he will give you his honest opinion on whether it is a case worth pursuing. I have recommended him to many of my friends for this reason.

Working with Russell put my mind at ease. Every step of the process, Russell was more than happy to guide and explain things to me. Preparing for court, he walked me through what to expect, things to avoid and how to practice dealing with the unknown. He was the absolute best to have in my corner, and I would absolutely recommend him to any friends or family.

After a car accident, surgeries, and nerve damage I had given up on my case after being told by an litigation firm that my medical bills were so high that I wouldn't get anything from the settlement. I felt as though I had no choice but to accept what I was told; over six months had passed. I had no idea Richard Griffin had inquired about my case, stepped in, took back my case, and negotiated all the medical bills. Within 30days or so he had a check for me over $25,000! If you want fair treatment, if you don't want to lose sleep wondering if you chose the right attorney, and if you want to feel confident that your attorney really does care about you and your case then you need to call Richard Griffin. Without question, if it wasn't for Mr. Griffin I wouldn't have received anything from the settlement.
Thank you so much Mr. Griffin for working so hard on my case and looking out for my best interests.

I hired Mr. Daum on an employee related matter. He presented himself like he knew what he was doing, but I could tell he was bluffing and went to another attorney to handle. It's been over a year and still no refund of my retainer that was put down. I have called his office literally 30 times looking for my money. Looks like I'll be hiring another attorney!

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.
