Talbot refused to take my case when Ben was under him. Ben saw my case and called me 3 days later and he took my case and won. I was a scared 21 year old and he made me feel okay with the whole process. He told me from day 1 that the insurance had 3 years before court and it would take them almost 3 years to agree to settle. He was honest and compassionate. I would hire him again if I ever needed his help.

My philosophy is: If I need the services of an attorney, I need the best. If I don't need the best, I have decided that I don't need an attorney.
I have had excellent representation all of my adult life. Others have retires and this guy is hands down the very best of the best.

I had a consultation with Ben and it was one of the best time of life. Even though he is highly respected and very rich he is still very down to earth. Ben is a very good listener and lawyer. Without hesitation I would recommend him to everyone because he can see things that other lawyers can't even think of. You need these type of people in your life and of course in your legal battle.

Lara Herrmann & her entire team absolutely rock! This is the first time I’ve ever hired an attorney and, under the advice of my chiropractor, I’m so glad I did!

I was attempting to manage my own case, and realized I was out of my depth. When Lara took over, the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders, and I was able to focus on healing from the accident. She has both great intelligence and great compassion. I recommend her whole-heartedly.

Lara Herrmann is top notch and has earned my highest recommendation. She handled my case with such ease, and I was able to get the medical care that I needed. She can be very hands on, or in my case, I preferred to do everything over the phone and electronically. They were amazing, so on top of it and not once did I have to follow up with them to check on where they were at in the process. She will relieve you from many, many headaches and provide the advice you are seeking. I have already referred them two cases, and I plan to continue to send close friends and family their way.

John Christensen represented me, in a case I almost didn't file because I doubted an outcome in my favor. Unlike other attorneys I've worked with, John was genuinely empathetic & compassionate, extremely communicative & accessible throughout, and professional without being stuffy. I was pleasantly surprised that he got my case resolved so quickly, with an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Office staff are very pleasant & happy to assist at all times. I highly recommend John & his practice, to my family & friends!

I cannot recommend this attorney highly enough for family court cases, including divorce, parent planning, and child support. He truly understands the importance of doing what’s right for your unique family situation and is dedicated to ensuring that your divorce does not turn into a battlefield. His approach is all about peace and fairness, which is incredibly refreshing in such emotionally charged situations.
Don’t let his kindness fool you, though. While he is polite and compassionate, he can be the other party’s worst nightmare when necessary. His weapon of choice is a combination of politeness and strategic thinking, and he knows when to channel his inner lion to fiercely advocate for his clients. If you’re looking for an attorney who balances empathy with assertiveness, look no further. He will guide you through the process with grace and strength, ensuring the best possible outcome for your family.

I entrusted my divorce case to Attorney Stephen, and the level of service and dedication he provided was truly beyond my expectations. Not only did he handle my case with the utmost responsibility and professionalism, meticulously attending to every detail, but he also demonstrated a genuine compassion and commitment towards helping both my child and me through this challenging time. His empathetic approach, combined with his keen legal acumen, made all the difference, guiding us towards a very favorable outcome.
Stephen's unwavering dedication to me and my son's well-being was evident in every interaction, and it's clear he went above and beyond to ensure our needs were not just met, but exceeded. His strategic advice and support were invaluable, making me feel fully supported every step of the way. I can sincerely say that not a single cent of what I paid him was wasted; Stephen invested his heart and soul into our case, delivering results that reflect his hard work and dedication.
I am immensely grateful for Stephen's efforts and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and results-driven attorney. His work ethic is truly commendable.

I absolutely recommend Marya Fuller. I was in an auto accident and thought I could handle it on my own, even though other driver admitted fault at the scene and I had a witness, I was way over my head. I was putting bills on my credit cards and not seeking the right treatment, finally after receiving a postcard in the mail, I talked to Marya Fuller and she took over, what a relief it was! She knew things about medical billing, rental car reimbursement and negotiation tactics that I had know idea. They completely accommodated me because of distance, by phone conferences and paperwork via email or fax. Marya, Abby and Vicki always answered my questions right away and explained everything clearly.
So again don't wait like I did, and go through alot of needless stress.

I was in a really tough spot when Steve arrived in my life, not only was I in legal trouble but I was also having problems at home with the family. Obviously with so much hanging over my head, work was no breeze either. Steve was able to satisfy all of my legal needs in a very thorough and expediant manner all the while keeping me informed. In return I was able to concentrate on home life and work, and within a very short time my life was back to normal. Thanks Steve and to everyone that is considering using his services, be confident you will get the best help out there!!!!!

Mr. Bulzomi represented me in several civil cases in the 1990's. He was thorough, consistent and knew the law well. I always felt that my cases were in very good hands with Mr. Bulzomi and his staff. If I had not relocated to Georgia I would have continued to use the services of this excellent attorney.

I am a homeowner who was sued by a neighbor who filed a "spite" lawsuit against me. Joe successfully defended me against "over-the-top" allegations, by skillfully & methodically debunking the claims. He persistently unraveled the plaintiff's legal maneuvering to attempt to construct a case out of fabrications. To do that, Joe used thoughtful strategy in his presentation of the actual facts of the case, and continually maintained a low-key, articulate professionalism that was very effective. It was obvious in the courtroom that he was respected by the judges who heard various portions of the case. Joe has a high standard of principled ethics that enable him to provide excellent representation. This lawsuit dragged on for over 3 years, & yet my stress level was minimal because I was extremely confident of Joe's abilities to bring about a favorable resolution in my defense. He did not let me down. Another great thing about Joe, is that being the man of integrity he is, I KNOW he would have never chosen to represent the type of individual who sued me--no matter how much they would have been willing to pay him for the representation. Joe Diaz gets an A-plus in my review.

Dennis recently defended my adult son and found his attention to detail remarkable. Very open to ideas and thoughts and able to work as a "team" with us. His HUGE heart and feelings helped us deal with the monstrous mission of defending our son. Mr. Burns went out of his way to be available for any and all questions/concerns we had. Although my son did not get the full not guilty verdicts we were striving for, he did get a reduced sentence.
I would hire him again if the need arose. (praying that it does not though)

Mr. Gerrit was very responsive to our needs, and often made phone contact personally rather than through a secretary or clerk. His initial knowledge was good, but also researched our issue thoroughly enough to become very familiar with the more minor nuances. We have used his services a few times over the years, and in each instance his work on our behalf rapidly resolved the issue and prevented the issue from becoming a long ordeal. We will continue to use his services should the need arise in the future.

I am still employed with my company I have been with for 5 years! Jay is very knowledgeable of DUI and DWLS defense. He always kept me in the loop and is very supportive during difficult times.

A pastor of big church in Tacoma referred me to him. I had couple of consultations with Doug for different legal needs. I was really impressed with his assessment skills of situation. He and his colleague Gary are very good listener, honest and down to earth. Both the times their advice was so accurate that it saved me lot of time and energy. I will always recommend my loved ones to him. In very first meeting I realized he is truly a christian at heart. I felt that unlike other lawyers he will treat you as a human being and not dollar sign. I felt his care and compassion. He got license in 1969 so you can imagine how much experience he carries.

Mike has represented our family in two injury claims. In both cases he as kept us well informed and has been timely in his communication with us. In the major claim we pursued, Mike sought training in the short and long term effect of the injury. He further managed the necessary family matter of setting up the guardianship of our injured adult child. He also provided us the information we needed to make decisions about how to proceed on both cases. He is very ethical and professional. We have encountered several attorneys over the course of our lives and no one compares to the level of committment displayed by Mike.

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.
