The overall process with Harley was smooth, despite the normal pains of filing for bankruptcy.
I’d imagine for most going through a difficult situation such as a bankruptcy that it’s important who you choose to represent you.
Harley was transparent, easy to get in contact with consistently, and an all around professional. I ended up speaking with a few attorneys and he seemed to explain most of the more varied legal talk in easy to understand plain English.
Not only that but he charged a very reasonable price and was even willing to work with me when I told him I had been offered a lower price from someone who didn’t seem as competent as he after speaking with them.
My only regret was not calling him sooner.. LOL.. seriously..
After speaking with him and learning the law, I found out that you are allowed to have up to 30K that’s exempt in most cases. Would have saved me quite a bit had I not used that trying to pay down my debt and those crazy rates.
If you want someone straightforward & no nonsense, I’d recommend him to friends and family.

An elderly family member was injured in a fall caused by an impatient driver of a courtesy vehicle. This was a life changing event, requiring extensive hospitalization, rehab, and ultimately long term care.
Hamilton Arendsen represented the family and did an exceptional job for us. He is competent, professional and caring. We are satisified that the settlement was fair, and will enable us to properly care for our loved one for the rest of her life.
Highly, highly recommend this attorney.

I highly recommend the Arendsen Braddock LLP firm if you need of professional lawyers that deliver results. Hamilton and his team were incredibly helpful with my lawsuit. They explained everything clearly and were transparent with all information. Whenever I communicated with Hamilton, Brad or anyone from their team, they took the time to support me and explain what was happening. They even helped me receive medical attention. Their amazing team won my case, and I was happy with the outcome. If you need of honest and hardworking lawyers, I strongly recommend reaching out to Arendsen Braddock LLP.

I have had 2 major accidents in past 4 yrs, having been rear ended with my SUVs totaled both times. I had the good fortune to have Hamilton Arendsen represent me on both occasions. He was able to get settlements for maximum amounts in both cases. He is enormously successful at his profession, in addition to being an empathetic, congenial gentleman. I cannot recommend him enough. NS, M.D.

Gary helped me when the insurance company wasn’t giving me what I felt was fair. He listened to what I wanted/ didn’t want to happen during the process. He was open and honest about how all the proceedings would take place so I didn’t feel confused. Very grateful for his help.

Gary and I began working together in 1975. He immediately demonstrated an acute awareness of issues in cases assigned to him; and a willingness and ability to solve them.
He’s a great friend and an outstanding lawyer. In a recent case he was able to prove, with clear and convincing evidence, the devastating accident in which his client was critically injured was the result of a tour bus running out of gas! This was in the face of a furious defense accusing his client’s inattention to have caused the accident.
He’s a hands-on lawyer. He takes his role as advocate for his clients seriously. Give Gary a difficult case and he’ll do his best to turn straw into gold. He’s that good.
Gary was the reason for my early retirement. We’ve associated on many serious injury cases and in every case Gary made me look good.
You can depend on him to give you 100%. Every time.

I had a very pleasant conversation with Bill. I called him from Seattle to discuss re-opening my visitation case with my daughter who lives in San Diego. It turned out I have to hire a lawyer from Seattle, but Bill gave me direction, contacts, To-Do's and a whole slew of information and tips and pointers. Very grateful to him and I hope I can find a lawyer just like him here in Seattle!

I referred my friend to Jim after hearing so many positive experiences from friends over the years. She asked I share this for her:
“I cannot begin to express my appreciation and admiration for Jim. Throughout the entire process, Jim handled my case with such incredible care. He constantly updated me on the progress and clearly explained what to expect next so that I never felt in the dark or blindsided. In the beginning, I was extremely nervous and unsure how it would go but slowly I gained complete confidence in Jim, and I knew I was in good hands. I had a voice when I thought I wouldn’t and it made the world of difference during such a difficult time. The entire team was so helpful and patient. I highly recommend!”

Dean took on my challenging personal injury case after four other 'highly rated' attorneys declined to represent me. He acknowledged that it would not be easy yet, he was willing to fight for me against the odds. He cared about me as a person, not merely as a client. I felt vindicated when his tireless efforts and ingenious presentation of our supporting evidence (ironically, the same 'evidence' the police reviewed and retained on file to support their own erroneous conclusions) ultimately convinced the heavyweight opposing counsel to relent and settle. I do not believe another attorney could have achieved the same result. Dean, as a cyclist himself, was passionate about my case--a recreational, fit, competent yet not competitive, cyclist seriously injured due to a careless motorist running me off the road on a bike path. I was compensated for my suffering and for being sidelined for eight months of my life, thanks to Dean!

I wanted to create my Will and Durable Power of Attorney, but had never done so before and had no idea what was needed. Kristen Walton made it so much easier than I thought it would be. She answered my questions and was able to work my needs into the Will and POA to tailor it to my specific areas of concern. I would (and have) recommended her to my friends and co-workers for their estate planning needs. I feel so much better knowing that not only are my wishes going to be upheld, but my family will not be burdened with uncertainty in an already difficult time. Thank you Kristen!

I 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend Chris and the Fox Law team. Both Chris and Megan went above and beyond for my case that kept being rejected every where I turned. I was at my lowest point when they helped turn my life around completely. I am now able to move forward with my life with financial stability that I would have never thought possible. Through all their hard work and efforts, they helped achieve the best possible outcome for my case. I will forever be grateful for the team at Fox Law. They are very professional, accommodating and go the extra mile for their clients. Do not hesitate to reach out to Fox Law for any personal injury case you might have. Thank you once again to everyone at Fox Law!

I primarily worked with attorney Abe Ames for a probate case that lasted for more than 2 years. Although the estate was a huge undertaking that came with many unique challenges, Abe and his team were always invaluable resources that helped guide me along the way to great success. Abe was a pleasure to work with every step of the way and his knowledge, communication, and professionalism were truly appreciated.

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.
