Leo Jackson is the best Attorney in the Pocono / Lehigh area!!! I had a worker’s compensation case Mr. Jackson was recommended to me as soon as I met him I knew I could trust him. I was rear ended on 33 North by the Tamaqua exit in a work van and seriously injured my shoulder after a month of rehab needed surgery. My employer started to give me problems so I hired Leo Jackson.

Leo is the best workman’s comp lawyer in my eyes. He not only fights for you but he actually cares about you! I am a union employee that opted not to go with the union’s recommendation for an attorney on my comp case and chose Leo instead. I never regretted it!! He explained everything along the way and is always there for you when you need him.

After my MVA accident I noticed I was unable to reach a settlement due to obstructive and pernicious behavior on the part of the responsible party’s insurance company. I than contacted Thomas J Foley, III to represent me. I admired his calm thorough and considered approach, his detailed knowledge and wealth of experience together with his unwavering desire to reach an acceptable solution. If you are looking for strong representation or facing an unreasonable and unyielding party, I strongly recommend contacting Thomas J Foley, III, at Foley law firm, who will fully fight for you to hold the responsible party’s insurance company accountable.

I was involved in a collision with a drunk driver. My medical bills were extensive and my auto insurance was not given me answers I understood. I honestly could not comprehend all that was being discussed as everyone was speaking medical and insurance lingo. I contacted the family lawyer and they directed us to Thomas J Foley III. He gave me the answers to the question I had and provided the best representation, I could ever ask for. He communicate with me in all aspects of my case and provided me with counsel to receive the settlement I deserved. I did not feel alone through the whole ordeal. If you are in search of an attorney who to provide the best service, communicates your need and addresses your concerns then Thomas J Foley is that person I recommend.

This summer I encountered the stress of finding out my elderly mother was $60K+ in debt, having a negative checking account and a victim of what I consider a predatory car loan that tipped the precarious balance. The trouble was compounded because I live 4 hours away as well. Needless to say I had to act quickly and get her into a safe spot financially and physically. Attorney Rubino and his staff provided the much needed assistance in the former aspect, allowing my family to concentrate on the second. The firm was accommodating and prompt in the answering the numerous questions and addendums needed during the bankruptcy filing. Attorney Rubino was very helpful in guiding me through the video deposition and making it easy and successful. I cannot thank him and his staff enough for their service (shout out to Brian, who had to field numerous emails from me). A well deserved 5 star rating. Thank you again! e.

Jim Swetz represented me in a high profile, complex, and convoluted case that spanned several years. The local police and prosecutors tirelessly pursued my own demise, something ALA Steven Avery but never fully exposed. Jim never ceased in exposing the misrepresentations and pursuing a fair trial. The Verdict from the jury trial did not pan out in full acquittal, but the sentencing phase helped produce real justice in light of the conviction. And we won the appeal filed by the DAs office. Through it all Jim never stopped pursuing justice and applying case law to ensure a measure of Justice for me. Jim is a trustworthy and knowledgeable counselor.

Jim Swetz was recommended to our family when my brother was killed by a drunk driver almost 5 years ago. He has had nothing but our family's best interest in heart since the beginning. He explained how the legal system worked and what we had to work with and how long the process would take. He knew nothing would ever replace my brother, a 20 year old, who lost his life far too soon. He wanted to make sure that the bar that played a huge role in his death would have to own up to what they did. Jim was there every step of the way, from seeing the young man that killed my brother in court, to testifying against him, to testifying against the bar. He was patient and encouraged us all to be patient. He fought for not only our family but for my brother. We, as a family, would highly recommend James Alan Swetz.

I hired Attorney Thomas Newell to resolve a matter concerning a dog attack. I am impressed with his knowledge of the process. Attorney Newell made every contact needed to demonstrate my injuries. He coordinated every aspect of my case and negotiated on my behalf. It would be inappropriate for me to comment on the settlement, but I will say that I received three times more than I expected. Mr. Newells decades of experience certainly paid off for me. Hire him!

Brian Gaglione is one of the Worse attorney I ever experienced! First off his secretary who answers the phone always has an attitude and talks like you are someone below her and expects you to not use your voice on your own matters which I paid 2500$ for a wrongful DUI conviction due to a Racist cop pulling me over for driving in the left lane 1am who made me take a sobriety test with 14 officers surrounding me waiting for me to get out of character so they can use extreme force. Brian never watched the video he just prosecuted me like the district attorney he “use to be “..must still be since he gave very little effort to work this down to a fine as I received two options in the mail prior to missing my preliminary hearing one option was to either not drive in the state of P.A for a year or 2nd option pay the suspension fee of 1500$…I chose not to drive for a year as my option and instead Brian telling the judge the mail was lost when I sent back my option to inform P.A I wouldn’t drive in the state of P.A for a year he ran a game on me to put me in a ARD program which I could have just represented myself to have go through all this shows that Brian care for clients are by his own choice and I know being Black is the major reason like I said he never even watched the police video footage just automatically looked to “convict” me Monroe county is small and he is friends with the judge of my case wouldn’t be surprised also if he knew the cop in my case.I didn’t get the justice I deserve as I was never DUI!

Brian Gaglione is by far the best attorney in the area. He’s great with communication and is very comforting in difficult times. He’s helped me with multiple cases and is very experienced and dedicated in what he does. My Mother was charged for allowing me to use her vehicle and he told me “not to worry he’ll be there to take care of it” and when he heard the story he didn’t even charge my mother for getting the ticket dismissed in court! So if you’re looking for an attorney that will truly try to help you he’s you’re guy!

Attorney Sundmaker, as well as, his awesome paralegal Lisa, are the best in the area. I do not mean he simply excels as an attorney but, has committed to excellence in the knowledge of the law and communication with his clients. I have been a client for over a year, in an array of cases. I have also found Attorney Sundmaker and his staff to be the most correct in practice. If you are looking for “right is right”, he’s your guy.

We did not find Mr. Sundmaker to be effective, responsive or concerned about resolving a DUI matter. He did not return phone calls or letters once he had our initial payment of $500, nor did he produce requested documentation for the work that was claimed to have been done on our behalf.

Kevin Foley has an outstanding record as a trial lawyer, not a settlement lawyer. Kevin played a major role or as lead counsel in three eight figure settlements in northeast Pa, including an $16 million dollar case involving a catastrophically injured victim in 2008, and dozens of seven figure settlements. Kevin works at a frenetic pace. Sometimes that can come off as aggressive, but he cares about his clients and takes seriously his obligation to maximize their awards.

I went to the Foley law firm because my mother had had her case handled by them many years ago. She had nothing but good to say about them, and had a great outcome. Unfortunately, my experience with Kevin was less than stellar. He was rude to me and told me straight out that I was lying about my workers' comp claim. I ended up trusting him to settle my case because he acted as if i was too stupid to understand what was going on. I also found his staff very rude. I would NEVER hire him again. I thank God everyday that he did not handle my mother's 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.
