Jeana is amazing. I never thought I'd need someone like her, but I am so grateful she was referred to me by my employer. She helped me for over 3 years, and was never impatient or frustrated, even when I was stressed and asked the same questions repeatedly. The day of my hearing she was incredibly kind and made me feel confident. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants compassionate, quick, accurate help. There's no one else you want during a personally challenging time.

When I got injured, I knew I was going to be out of work. I knew I was going to be struggling with my family. I was really worried about the direction my life had turned towards. If I hadn't contacted Martin Haxel. I would still be fighting to get what I deserved. What was owed to me. Mr. Haxel however, stayed with me. He told me the truth. He didn't lie, or manipulate anything. He was honest and informative. He was the hope I didn't have at that time. He struggled with me to get all of it resolved. He did it with integrity, honesty, and a sincere understanding of what I was going through. To anyone considering having Mr. Haxel represent them in similar situations...I would say, you couldn't pick a better person. He's a great lawyer. He does great work. He's a nice person with a lot of experience in this field. If there's anyone you can turn to when no one will listen or even attempt to help you do what is right...Mr. Haxel is the one. I can't say enough good things about him. Now that my case is settled thanks to his work, I'm going to miss having someone having my back. He's a good man and I hope he feels good about what he's done when he lays down to sleep and reflects on his days, weeks, months, and years. People like him, give people hope, and faith that there are good people still roaming around this crazy thing called life. Martin, thank you. You're a beast.

I was in a car accident nearly three years ago, someone ran a stop sign and hit my car. The attorney that was representing me for two years didn’t get much done, I felt like I was going in circles and we nearly had to forfeit the case because these type of things are very time sensitive. I was referred to Steve Holley @ Holley Rosen and Beard LLC and in the process of 90 days the case was settled. Steve didn’t waste any time after receiving the case he got right down to business, there was never a lack of communication from him as well as his colleagues at Holley Rosen and Beard. Due to all of there efforts dedication and hard work I walked away with a comfortable return on my settlement. I will strongly refer and encourage anyone to work with these attorneys because they’re all about getting the job done, and leaving clients like myself at ease and comfortable after a traumatic situation such as a car accident

I am more than happy to share my extremely successful experience with Todd & Kayla.
I've had a lot of experiences w attorneys through RE transactions, working in corporate America, divorce....etc
Some can have the misconception that attorneys are all about taking your money and billable hours. With this team that is simply not the case!
When you initially meet with Todd, he can appear to be assertive, abrupt & direct. Yet at the conclusion of a very successful experience, I found that these were not negative qualities.
Simply put, he does not waste anyone's time, efforts or financial resources upon retention of your legal matters.
With your legal needs Todd's tenacity, honesty, and diligence leads to an overwhelming feeling of confidence that you are in the right hands!
While working with him, I not only had a 100% faith in his professionalism;
I also took great comfort in his authenticity of caring for his clients by showing empathy & overall concern.
He truly is a great person & attorney.
Kayla and the team have a very patient way of guiding their clients through the step by step process in case/court preparation.
Through out the process I had no apprehensions of the SUCCESSFUL results delivered with their swift/amazing competence.
I am very confident in stating that Todd Goebel is by far the best attorney that I have had the great pleasure of working with!

I am grateful to have had Mr. Kugler as my Attorney.
My husband and I hired Mr. Kugler after we were injured in a motorcycle accident. From start to finish, Mr. Kugler was exceptionally helpful with his counsel in our case. Immediately, the other driver's insurance company wanted my husband and I to settle before we had even had our injuries fully evaluated. The whole accident was overwhelming for me (emotionally and physically). I appreciated Mr. Kugler communication style that helped my family understand our options. Furthermore, I appreciated his genuine concern for his clients and am thankful for his encouragement. If I should ever need an Attorney again, I would seek to hire Mr. Kugler for my case.

I went into my bankruptcy without knowing what to expect but as soon as I talked to Bruce my mind was at ease. He explained everything to me and let me know what the outcome could be (good and bad). HE was very honest with me and didn’t try to sugar coat anything. He was very responsive to calls and emails. He had me prepared for the meeting with the trustees so I knew exactly what to expect before going in. I would highly recommend Bruce to anyone who is considering filing for bankruptcy.

I found Bruce by looking at reviews as you are now. I didn’t know what to expect I had hired a attorney for child custody twice before but when asked about bankruptcy he said he didn’t work in that field. I had a list of recommendations and lost it and had to start looking one by reading reviews just like you are. I was scarred and nervous when I went to meet Bruce I was about to give a man I didn’t know all my private financial problems. One thing I worried about was, is Bruce just another attorney who’s going to rack up the hours and send me bills in the long haul? No! No he’s not!!!
Bruce showed compassion the first time I met him and explained everything in detail and answered everything I could think of asking. Well we filled went through the process and Bruce kept me informed of everything going on and all the possible outcomes. He tells you the TRUTH not just what you want to hear! Needless to say we had a issue come up and I began to worry all I could see were dollar signs adding up! After all I filled bankruptcy I was I am broke what am I going to do? Well Bruce explained things and how they worked in detail and we got back to it! At the end I had very good outcome! That’s out come comes from Bruce always being prepared and making sure you’re prepared as well! He pays attention to detail and in return helps you understand those details. The day came the bill was emailed a meeting was set!!! That bill I got that big bill I knew was coming ( I added up the hours before I received the bill) well the bill wasn’t exactly what I expected!! Bruce didn’t charge me all the hours he could have!! He didn’t charge me for everything he had done! I thanked him and he explained he didn’t think that I had been treated fairly he said. We spoke more and we also spoke about some other things going on and we spoke about god and the way he works in our lives. And he and his wife both said they’re pray for me and my family. I couldn’t have asked for a better man to help me!!! Not just a attorney but a great Christian man... so yes a man can be both! Bruce Kugler is, great attorney great Christian man!!!!
Bruce if you read this I just want to again say thank you!!!!

I have never ever needed a lawyer however upon my first conversation with Mr Bucklin he explained in detail how the process worked. And I really did not want to hire a lawyer, however as things progressed I found out I did and Mr Bucklin was more than understanding about my needs. He gave me options and stressed he would do whatever I wanted.
I hope and pray that I never ever need his service again. However I know I can trust and count on him.
Thank you Brad.

I was injured at work. National employer was not paying any Workmans comp after 6 weeks of being off work. I spoke with this mans father “ Charle Delano III “ who immediately gave my case to his son Charles H Delano IV
- one simple letter was crafted & sent to my employer and ten days later I received a check for $ 33,000 dollars. This is Garry from a small town near Springfield IL and I can honestly say “ Delano Gets Results “
Mr Delano also helped us WIN a wrongful death claim in the hundreds of thousands $$$ when my Dad Gale was killed on his way home from work during a forecasted ice storm in November of 2006. HIRE DELENO first.
You will be glad you have him on your side.

I couldn't have asked for a better company to work with. My workers comp case manager was severely unprofessional and refused to pay me months on end. That's when I decided to look into getting professional help. Kanoski Bresney shined through the multiple sources that popped up when I was on my search and I could not have been happier with my choice. Tim and Roby helped me along the entire year and some days journey and helped me every step. They fought for me like I was family. if anyone is going through the same situation as me (workers comp not paying out and/or general work place injury) Kanoski Bresney should be your number one choice!

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.
