I hired Attorney Edward Buchanan to represent me in a case where an independent contractor breached our agreement. The contractor tried every trick to avoid responsibility… dodging process servers, stalling, and hoping the lawsuit would just disappear. But Attorney Buchanan didn’t back down. He tracked him down, took him to court, and made sure justice was served. In the end, the contractor had no choice but to settle. If you need an attorney who is relentless, strategic, and knows how to get results, I highly recommend Edward Buchanan.

Todd Kawecki is the best of the best . I had secured legal representation at the beginning of my case with another lawyer and two months went by and there was no progress being made and no communication which had me anxious and doubtful of what the outcome would be. I found Mr.Kawecki while anxiously seeking better representation and he lives up to every review !! He took over my case and immediately stepped in and got results . He is professional , prompt, communicates and listens ,answers any question you have , keeps you informed the entire process and is compassionate. His wife Amanda is also an attorney and keeps you informed and reassured as well. They are an awesome team . This was a stressful situation for me and he kept me calm the entire time .My case was dismissed and they also assist with the expungement process. If you are looking for representation He is your guy , look no further !! You will not be disappointed.

During my search for an attorney, a lot of others gave me sugarcoating with maybes and Todd was the only one that was 100% honest and direct with what I was looking ,at what my options are ,and what I needed to do. That can only come from extensive experience! Thankfully, my case was dismissed. While I aim to never have to utilize his services again, he will be the first call if I ever should need to.

Extremely Unprofessional Service – Beware I had a very frustrating experience with The Law Offices of John J. McGlynn III, specifically with the Title Agent, Shelley McGlynn. My ex-wife and I sold a house in Stuart as part of a Final Agreement, and Shelley was assigned as our Title Agent. From the very beginning, she was completely unprofessional , rude and showed no impartiality in handling the situation. I was told I would receive a specific amount of money from the sale, but when I asked for clarification, Shelley was unable – or unwilling – to explain why this amount was different from what the judge had decided. I repeatedly asked for a breakdown or explanation, but she told me i was 10 minutes late and she couldn't answer. After several attempts to get clear communication, she started to request documentations. Things took a turn for the worse when she refused to disburse the funds entirely, citing that my ex-wife had claimed I owed her money. Shelley didn’t even attempt to verify this claim or consider the terms of the Final Agreement. Instead, she just took my ex-wife's word as gospel, completely disregarding the judge's decision, which was clearly outlined in the agreement. If Shelley had bothered to read and follow the Final Agreement and the judge's instructions, she could have handled this situation properly. Instead, her lack of professionalism and failure to perform her duties caused unnecessary delays and confusion. I would not trust this office or this Title Agent with any future transactions, and I strongly advise others to look elsewhere for legal or title services.

I came upon the office of John McGlynn by chance in search of a notary public and was in need of an estate attorney and tax preparer at the time and my wife and I decided to use their services, and we are extremely happy with that decision. The triad of legal services of real estate, estate planning and tax attorney offers a sensible combination of the more common legal services people require and John McGlynn’s reliable, consistent and trusted service has always satisfied us. If you are in need of a good attorney in any or all of these areas, I would highly recommend the Law Offices of John McGlynn III as they also handle business law if you really wanted to tie it all together with that new venture incorporation or business sale.

I feel it’s reasonably priced and everything was streamlined in a concise and efficient manner. Getting in office appointments was also flexible and straightforward. I have absolutely no complaints and look forward to setting up trusts and wills in the future. Thanks for all of the help!

He takes the time to explain the laws and how something might go very well so that a client does not feel bond sighted.

I don’t know where to start…. With what I’ve been through in life with medical then I had a fall that I wished never happened. Matt and his team went above and beyond the entire process. They cared they listened they heard me and they proved it with my settlement. Hearing Matt speak at my mediation I was beyond impressed I knew right then this man is a beast!!! He got me a settlement that I never thought I’d get and it’s all because he truly cared and stood for me and what was right!!! He is in it not to just win but to understand what exactly what I had to go through and will continue to go through forever. I highly recomend Matt in any of your cases. Matt once again thank you for me this is life changing and I can now feel a sign of relief I’m still in shock!!!!outstanding work and thank you again so much….

Attorney John Pape is by far the best man for the job. The day I contacted his office, Donaldson and Watson, his team immediately took on my claim, and a contract was conveniently emailed to me. One hundred percent hands-on and available with a call back within the hour, if not within five minutes. Every time. Didn’t even need to go into the office. He even helped handle things that were outside the scope of practice of my claim, lending his legal expertise with no attitude whatsoever, always willing to give a lending ear. This attorney is absolutely hands down, a man of his word, and a great man overall. So incredibly grateful that I chose this firm, and the amazing team at Donaldson and Watson. Every aspect of my claim was handled with absolute expertise, in a few short months. The team of individuals who facilitated all of this for me, were so courteous, professional and empathetic. Talk about going the extra mile; Samantha even helped set up appointments for me when I was too busy to do so. I thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

My family hired Jason Berger to represent us in a minor child name change. He handled our case with professionalism and kindness. He was thorough with our case and handled everything above and beyond our expectations. Communication with us in regards to our case was exceptional. His assistant Nancy was always available to answer our calls and give Jason our information. On the day of our court hearing I watched Mr. Berger arrive early to get our name on the top of the court roster for the morning. Our case was heard and the minor's name was changed. Everything went smoothly. Birth certificates were easily picked up from the office. Mr. Berger showed great concern for our case and shared in the excitement of the final outcome.

Jason provided outstanding legal representation on my case. I was completely uneducated in the family law arena. Jason's guidance enabled me to completely avoid both a frivolous alimony claim and a frivolous attorney's fees claim, and most importantly to maximize my time with our two children. I would recommend Jason as a family law attorney to all of my friends and family. Excellent job!

Jason Berger has been representing me in a custody matter. I cannot say enough great things that would appropriately express the outstanding job he has done for me and my family. From our first consultation until today, he has been so much more than a great attorney. He has been a source of support, guidance, and information that is absolutely indispensable. Jason along with the rest of the staff, have always been 100% honest and upfront with me about the law, my options, and what my best course of action would be.and every single thing he has ever told me has turned out to be exactly how the courts have decided things should be. I firmly believe that without the representation of Jason there is a strong possibility I would not have custody of my child. I value him so much more than an attorney. He is truly a friend and counselor in my life.

Update: Take ownership Mike; no excuses! My wife and I had an unfortunate experience with Crary Buchanan regarding the handling of our case. The firm fired my wife as a client simply because I requested to speak to the managing partner Mr. Mike Crary pertaining to the poor communication we received from our attorney Jeff Saunders; he was not attentive and almost impossible to communicate with directly. He misrepresented the case to the defendants which possibly undermined our position. My feeling is this firm loves personal injury cases and smaller paying clients do not receive the attention they deserve as protected by legal standards. I strongly advise against using their services.

In 2013 I was injured while walking my dog near my residence at Newport Isles - my injury was the result of my HOA not properly overseeing the construction that resulted in my requiring surgery and rehabilitation that took the better part of 2 years. The HOA tried to use every excuse they could of to evade taking on the liability for their oversight and attempted to place the fault on me opposed to their misconduct. Gloria Seidule stood by me through my case, even at times when I thought about giving up or attempting to escape having to relive that moment again. She supported my beliefs in pursuing justice and always took a stand to look out for me and my future. Her services and personal attention in my case was by far the reason for me being able to win my case and another victim to the "Big Bad HOA Management Companies of SLC". She prepared me by letting me know what to expect throughout my case and always gave me the worst case scenario, even though at times it was not what I wanted to hear. Honesty is big with me, and throughout my case I acquired a lot of respect for Gloria, because I know an "HONEST" attorney is a rare find. She would stop at a moment notice to take my calls and listen to my concerns. I have never looked kindly on attorneys, thinking they were always more into the case for themselves opposed to being in it for their clients, however, after meeting Gloria, my views since my case have changed and I wouldn't hesitate contacting her again in the event I am ever in need of her services in the future. If you are considering seeking legal advise or are in need of an attorney that you can trust and that is dedicated to their practice, you would be wise to contact Gloria Seidule and see for yourself the dedication and experience she can offer you. THANK YOU Gloria for being who you are!!!!!!

Gloria is a very knowledgeable attorney. Exceptional, Outstanding, superb, just a few words to describe her. I have used her twice for two different cases, and her professionalism is second to none. She was able to settle both cases and received a great settlement for both. It wasn't easy, but she is very patient and understanding. Her clients are her priority. Besides being a great attorney she is also a great person and will fight to always make sure you are happy and satisfied. What else can I say about Gloria Seidule? Well I am sure she'll be my attorney next time I need one, you should do the same.

Hello, I recently received my medical records on February 28th from the law firm Vastola & Kirwan, P.A. that were looking into my malpractice case. Upon receiving my medical records back, the envelope was not sealed at all and now I'm missing sensitive records which includes my social security number, home address and details of my past surgeries. I called the Law Firm Vastola & Kirwan, P.A. and asked to speak with “Guy” but I was told he was longer with the law firm so then I left a message for someone to call me back. I then called the next day on March 1, and left a second message. Later that morning Mr. Jeff Vastola returned my call. Mr. Jeff Vastola asked what was the issue and I told Mr. Jeff Vastola that my medical records were sent back with the envelope wide open and there were missing sensitive records. Mr. Jeff Vastola said that he wouldn’t know how that would have happened because that was not the way they would return records. I told Mr. Jeff Vastola when I sent them my records to his office I sent them certified with a return receipt because of the importance of the information it contained. Mr. Jeff Vastola asked if there was a cover letter and I told him no. Mr. Jeff Vastola then asked if I wanted copies of all of the records to be sent to me because all records are scanned into his computers and I told him no because I could always ask the previous law firm for the originals which in fact was what I sent Mr. Jeff Vastola law firm in the first place. I then told Mr. Jeff Vastola that my worry was that I have sensitive medical records lost and that I was afraid of someone stealing my identity. Mr. Jeff Vastola, said he couldn’t do anything for me. I told Mr. Jeff Vastola that if I have any issues of someone stealing my information that his law firm would be accountable. Mr. Jeff Vastola then accused me of extortion, I told him no that’s not what I wanted in any shape or form, only that if in the event that my identity was ever stolen that he would be held responsible because he represents his law firm and the careless manner in which my records where sent back. Mr. Jeff Vastola snickered at me and laughed and had no remorse or even show any professionalism. I can’t believe how Mr. Jeff Vastola has treated me. I’ve put my trust with the law firm Vastola & Kirwan, P.A. with my horrible medical ordeal and expected more but unfortunately I was wrong. At the end I was hung up on.

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:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. 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.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
