I recently had the privilege of working with Mr . Steve Goldberg, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was exemplary, marked by a high degree of professionalism and a profound sense of humanity.
From our first meeting, it was clear that Mr. goldberg operates at the pinnacle of professional standards. The team demonstrated an impressive depth of legal knowledge specially Christina, ensuring that we were well-informed about all aspects of my case. They meticulously explained each step of the process, ensuring that I felt confident and well-prepared. Their strategic approach was evident, showcasing a thorough understanding of the intricacies of the law and an ability to navigate complex legal issues with ease.
What truly set Goldberg Legal apart, however, was their genuine human touch. In a field often perceived as impersonal and detached, they brought a refreshing level of empathy and compassion. They took the time to listen to my concerns, understand my situation, and provide tailored advice that truly reflected my needs. This personalized approach made a significant difference, not only in the outcome of my case but in alleviating the stress and anxiety often associated with legal proceedings.
In summary, MR. goldberg exemplifies what it means to be not just a great lawyer, but a great advocate and ally. His blend of professional excellence and heartfelt compassion is rare and invaluable. I am incredibly grateful for their assistance and would wholeheartedly recommend Goldberg Legal to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation.
Special thanks to Christina that sweetly handled our frustration and always filled us with joy and comfort.

As an insurance agent in the Westside area, I recently assisted a client from Solon with a dispute involving a company who failed to deliver on their promises and began to avoid responsibility. After researching and contacting several law offices in his area, I referred him to Attorney Cavell based on the prompt, courteous, and precise response I received from his office.
Several months later, the client expressed his gratitude for the referral, indicating that Attorney Cavel had effectively handled his matter. While he didn't go into specifics, he conveyed a high level of satisfaction with the outcome. If anyone were to ask me for a recommendation for legal assistance in the Eastside, Attorney Hunter Cavell would be at the top of my list.

After 2 years From credit being ruined because of when I was out of work with having to use credit cards just to pay bills, to thinking I would be getting something back for time and suffering including back pay I lost for missing work. None of that really mattered in the end. I should’ve forced myself to work because I wouldn’t of been out any money for that long. I regret not going with another attorney. They also made a crucial mistake in my case. I had told them all my information at the beginning that my son had Medicare and I had Cigna and my son was in car with me. For most of the time of dealing with my case he had me as having Medicare.
UPDATE 1/20/2022
This is the message I received today from Podor Law Offices. “Good morning, I reviewed your file because we’re going to place it into storage. We keep files for seven years. I’m happy that the case ended to your satisfaction. Although we had to file a lawsuit to protect the statute of limitations I did not charge you the 40% attorney fee instead as a courtesy I only charged the pre suit fee of 33 1/3%. I’d appreciate it if you could remove the negative google review or even better give us a good one. Your call.
If you ever need advice in the future I do that as a courtesy. For example if you or someone in your family gets a traffic ticket I will be happy to give some free advice. Thanks again. “
I was only happy I received a check finally because anything aside from nothing was badly needed but I was not satisfied and never gave them the impression I was satisfied.
So decided to Update this review to 3 stars still not 5 star service to me in the least bit my credit is still ruined and I still waited forever for them to even acknowledge my case and they had inaccuracies due to not being attentive and only dealing with me when they had too. I don’t know if they take on too many cases or just don’t care about small cases. I didn’t receive any updates until I left a negative review on them. That should raise a red flag. I finally received a payout after more than 2 years since the accident where the other woman was at fault and they made it seem like they did me a favor for not charging me extra due to them having to file so the case didn’t go past the statute of limitations. Or they could’ve been attentive and got the case done way beforehand? When I did the math, they received more money on the payout than I did in the check and I guess I should be grateful I got anything. If I had to do it all over again I would’ve went with a different law firm. Do your research and tread carefully.

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.
