September 12th, 2022 police arrived at my door to tell me they were investigating sexual claims made against me, outlandish as they were I immediately panicked because as everyone knows, once these rise against you, you’re pretty much screwed. I immediately reached out to any attorney and was recommended Vindicate law, I spoke to the receptionist and explained the case and was assigned Carrie Fulton Brown. She accepted my case. The path to freedom was long and arduous. After the arraignment they told me I was facing 60 years in prison. Many continuations later, my anxiety and stress were at an all time high. Me and Carrie never really talked to each other about the case itself except a few times as my case was entirely hearsay, but because of the fact that it was from a minor the case was stacked against me 10 fold. Communication with Carrie was very rough, as most people sitting in the hot seat just want a shred or a glimmer of positivity but Carrie did NOT deliver on that front in the slightest. But that was okay, because she was dedicated to working against the state in a screwed up system. Most of the beginning of my case I knew most people and even Carrie didn’t believe me when I say I didn’t do it. Later on I passed 3 polygraph tests trying to prove I didn’t do it, and only after the 3rd one when I passed it with the actual prosecutor / State did Carrie tell me she strongly believes I didn’t do it. She gave me the best options to follow forward and going to trial with a minors words against mine was bleak, Carrie fought for the best outcome, I served 0 days in jail, no fees or Fines, Didn’t have to sign a sexual registry, all 4 counts were dropped to a Class C Abuse of a child. And 1 year of DOC Probation in which I spent 3 weeks on before the DOC discharged me from probation saying my crime didn’t fit criteria of having probation as I was a zero risk person and this was the only thing I’ve ever gotten on my record.
All said and done, I’m glad Carrie pulled through for me and allowed me to stay out of prison and remain with my family and to continue working she’s a tough person to understand and rough around the edges when talking to her but she’s nothing but business which is what you want in an attorney. Thanks Carrie for giving me my life back! 60 years was a long time to be away.

I am absolutely appalled by the complete lack of professionalism and utter disregard for my situation shown by Carrie Fulton Brown from this Law Group. I entrusted her with my case, believing her promises of dedicated representation, and instead, I received nothing but empty words and an empty bank account. She happily accepted my retainer, and then proceeded to do absolutely nothing. During the 6 months period she was my attorney, before her withdrawal, phone calls went unanswered, meetings/appointments were canceled for no apparent reasons. No investigations were done on my case, she did not interview no witnesses, and the so called ”victim“. Furthermore, Carrie had the audacity to tell me I was borderline harassing her by calling her and her incompetent paralegal Lisa too much. She literally took my money and vanished into thin air. Carrie Fulton Brown is a trash of attorney. I suffered significantly due to her inaction, and I was left feeling completely abandoned and betrayed. I would strongly advise anyone considering hiring her to look elsewhere. Save your money, save your time, and save yourself the immense frustration and disappointment. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

I hired Stephanie to represent me in an Employment and Shareholder dispute. My case was complex and not easily resolved. Working with Stephanie was a pleasure, she is a tough litigator and extremely poised in the court room. If you are looking for someone that can handle a difficult matter with integrity I highly recommend her, I consider her to be one of those rare attorneys that can handle both the legal and personal aspects of a case with the utmost professionalism and care.

Ms. Bloomfield undertook our disability discrimination case against a large law enforcement agency.
Through numerous changes in my employer's chain of command, Stephanie's focus and commitment easily identified the legal issues and violations of federal law. Her strong arguments propelled the case forward, and her experience in deposition resulted in their witnesses admitting untruthfulness under oath.
As many persons know, a court case is about far more than a final judgment: it is about righting wrongs and ensuring they never happen again.
Ultimately, she was able to ensure these violations were a matter of public record - something that was a priority for me, as I had unsuccessfully attempted to resolve this for years. Stephanie helped set a precedence in representation for disabled employees who might be intimidated if they experience hostility and retaliation for requesting accommodation.
Stephanie successfully represented me - a judgment was entered against my employer. This would not have happened without her passion and her genuine concern for her client.
I felt less like a client, and more like someone who had a strong ally in the courtroom. She answered countless questions, and was far more knowledgeable than I. In cases where my Google research had offered suggested legal considerations - she thoroughly addressed any of my misconceptions and was unfailingly patient with my frequent communications.
She was responsive and intelligent - a true privilege to watch her at work. She was incredibly sharp in catching inconsistencies, and was able to destroy the defense's arguments without being unprofessional.
I was impressed with Stephanie's perseverance against an agency that seems intimidating to many. With her knowledge and experience, it was of immeasurable relief to see her take on the issues with confidence.
I am grateful to Ms. Bloomfield for her determination to right the wrongs in my case.

Ms Bloomfield was my attorney. I was Ms Bloomfield's client. What I did not like about Ms Bloomfield was how she, the lead on economics in my case, did not apply the collateral source rule as it should have been. I trusted her to do a proper job, and such was not the case. Her performance in my case was poor. Thank you.

She failed me terribly, went the whole duration of limitations on a fake claim
Number which left me with all my medicalBill's, she changed a number of different things in my claim, like my last name, the accident date, thetime it occurred. No one else went through the accident I endured , and i suffer daily from it. She took me for my money and ran me out of time to be able to do anything about it. Karma will get her for screwing me over.

Although I was hesitant in retaining a lawyer so to speak. I think that the experience has left me with a good feeling. Unsure of things of this matter (personal injury claims). I'm glad that Marie had the time to help me in this matter. I am very grateful it's over for my part. It's been a long year of worry, with an acceptable outcome.

I was involved in an auto accident that was very complicated. I am employeed in WA state but my job took mr to Virginia. While there I was involved in an auto accident whereby I broke my back. I now had to deal with the other guys insurance company, my employer's insurance company, WA L&I and lawyers and doctors in Virginia. MArie did a great job representing me here and selected a great law firm to work with in Virginia. As I learned, Virginia ia the worse state to have to file a lawsuit with most cases settled for about $15,000. Marie got them to settle a week before trial for almost 10 times that amount. About 6 months ago, my adult son was involved in a motorcycle accident caused my another driver. I told him to call Marie BEFORE talking with any insurance company. He did and was very gald that he hired marie and Briggs and Briggs.

In 2016, I was in a car crash that left me with multiple injuries, and a lot of trauma. Dave Lauman was my attorney and he helped us navigate through the hard process of suing the company of the vehicle that hit me. The entire team, Megan, Sarah and crew all communicated with me in a professional manner and always remembered to explain things in a way we could understand! Thank you! If you ever need a team of attorneys to talk to about personal injury, this is the office for you!

I’ve worked with Mr. Lazares on a few evictions, only one going to court. While he is knowledgeable, he was very rude to me. He interrupted and was condescending. Not exactly a ‘feel good’ when you’re paying someone $400/hr.

I purchased a foreclosure home and the former owners would not leave on their own, so I hired Danny. He has been very to the point (which is great), quick, and we're getting the eviction order from the judge. I hope to never need to evict someone again, but Danny has officially been added to my landlord tool belt and I recommend him!

One of the best law firms I have ever been represented by. I have used Hester Law Group for multiple situations dating back over a decade and they've never let me down. There were times the outlook was grim, the prosecution was adamant and these guys postured themselves and defended justice with ease. I have never been disappointed with our final resolution and more times than not have received an outcome far greater than one would think possible. When looking for a solid attorney look no further, Lance Hester is a solid man and outstanding attorney.

Best experience law group in Tacoma... Had a great experience with the group and they fought for me diligently to get what was owed to me.. Took awhile but it was more or less the company not wanting to pay, but they wore them down and got them to pay a fair amount in the end.. Just waiting for Inc company to send check at this point.. Anyways, highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of a personal injury lawyer / attorney.. 😎✌️

Mr. Ewetuga is very good at what he does. I went to him in a panic because a past creditor had my wages garnished for an account that they thought was still outstanding. I knew I had paid off this account and fortunately, I kept all of my paperwork from three years ago. During our consultation, he recommended that I take action and contact the creditor first to let them know I paid the debt. Then I should fax over the documents showing them proof it was paid since the first collection agency failed to follow up with the original creditor. If that didn't work, then we would proceed to plan B. After gathering my thoughts, I went home and did what he instructed. I contacted the creditor, explained the situation, and faxed over the documents. A little bit later, I called back to make sure they received everything. They then explained to me that they faxed this information over to my employer to withdraw the garnishment, and they would stop collection efforts. That really made my day! I have never experienced wage garnishment before, and I was upset and full of anxiety that collections came after me again after I paid off this debt, but Mr. Ewetuga knew exactly what to do! I know some attorneys would have figured out a way to just drag this out and charge me a huge bill, but his payment was definitely reasonable as well as his services. Thank you Mr. Ewetuga!

We were very satisfied with our customer care with Mr. Ewetuga and appreciate his professional services. Highly recommended.

Words can't describe how helpful Attorney Michael Ewetuga was for me. I was desperate to find answers for all the questions I had regarding possible charges against me.

He has performed at levels for me and family that helped us be confident that the case would work out for a greater good and Attorney Michael Ewetuga is the key to that greater good!

Elizabeth powell, is not only one of the best attorneys I've ever worked with, but one of the most understanding attorneys as well. She was not able to take my wife and I on as official clients, as she works for the Pierce County Housing Authority, but due to our special situation, and the fact that she had dealt with the company that was illegally trying to get money out of us, in the past, she decided to help us. He was not only very detailed and willing to do what she could, but she gave us some amazing advice, that helped us out of a very bad financial situation. I would recommend Elizabeth Powell to anyone seeking legal assistance, in Pierce county, Washington state.

Bob Helland helped me with an overpayment of Child Support, however the judge the didnt find in my favor, but it wasnt because we lacked a thorough case. Bob always was available for questions and his staff put in lots of hours auditing my payments. His staff is also easy to talk to and work with. And on top of that, they have been exceptional with handling payments to my account. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bob Helland!! I have never had such a compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer in all the years I have had to deal with this matter. I wish I had used Mr. Helland years ago when my court nightmare began. You are choosing an EXCELLENT Lawyer and staff!!

Sincerely one of a kind! It has been our experience that most attorneys are focused on the process and unable to hear the client but Mr. Powell listens. Don Powell is full of knowledge, wisdom and kindness. He is very wise and a tough opponent! Our case was complicated, and without justice; but Don never gave up and through his diligence, the truth prevailed! We would not have overcome the obstacles and succeeded without him. We highly recommend Don Powell!

Don was the best attorney I have had to date. I had my divorce in Spokane buy an attorney who lost the paperwork. The attorney I hired after that in Spokane was effective but rude. Once I moved here, right on schedule the ex was finding things to go to court over, since abusing in person was no longer an option. I was so fortunate to find Don who was very well respected by his piers and served on the board of regents and as a Judge at times. Don was effective, considerate and thorough. What a pleasure under such a stressful situation to have someone who was so competent. Thank you Don!

I am extremely disappointed in the service I have received from Mr. Gossing although it’s not GHG legal if you run into this attorney it’s hit or miss. I have read several reviews as to how great and attentive he is however at this point I feel it’s just personal because he is so unresponsive to me. I try not to be a bother but apparently that gets me nowhere as well. Throughout my bankruptcy I pretty much received the same service and when he and his previous business partner parted ways I felt a loyalty to him and stuck it out with his piss poor service because when he is responsive he is AMAZING!! Unfortunately that type of service an unresponsiveness is truly unacceptable. It seems as though he is way to busy to even attempt to make you feel as a priority.

I hired Mr. Cochran years ago, when he was with another law firm, and he did an outstanding job, winning us both a substantial amount of money. Fast forward 18 years, and I'm once again in need of a good attorney, for a job related injury. So, i look up Mr. Cochran, and reach out to his law firm. After several emails with his assistant, a phone consultation is arranged. During the conversation he says that he's not sure if he can represent me, and is also unsure if I can sue my employer, or if I'll have to sue workers comp. He tells me that he will look into it, and if he's unable to represent me, he'll talk to some buddies in Idaho (where I'm at), and recommend someone to me. After 3+ months of writing emails back and forth with his assistant, and never getting any answers, I've decided to move on, and find another attorney. I have no doubt, that Mr. Cochran is a brilliant attorney, i just wonder about his character

i’m not sure exactly why Darrell is at four stars on this rating ,when he should be at five and preferably 10 ,Mr. Cochran visited me when I was in a state penitentiary ,and with his own time and resources he battled insurance companies and the state Attorney General’s office , who with unlimited resources at their disposal re fused to admit liability in my case or accept any culpibility, Darrell steadfastly protected my interests when at the time I was indigent and had no resources to fight these huge entities that were violating my civil rights and liberties ..Mr. Cochran has throughout his entire career made it a staple to his itinerary to fight for people who cannot afford to fight for themselves against entities and corporations with unlimited resources who utilize their power and influence to violate the civil liberties of others ..Darrell Cochran embodies every attribute that I wish every attorney in the state or in the country had for their professionalism ,,,put it quite simply the best Atty I’ve ever seen in my life, and that’s a fact

I have talked to Darrell for a little over a year, sometimes on a daily basis. He is very knowledgeable of the law and puts his clients rights first. No matter the size of the fight he is always willing to stay up late with clients and make sure they are takin care of.

First and foremost thank you very much Mr. Steve Alvarez for taking care of our case in the most time efficient and manner full way. This is the second time Mr. Alvarez has helped I and my family in a car accident case not to mention that both cases were handled as I imagined. I and my family highly recommend Mr. Steve Alvarez and his team to take your case into his hands. Mr. Alvarez assistant Nora was very helpful to us, Nora kept us up to date with all the information, if we weren't available she would leave a detailed voice mail and a email. Both Mr. Alvarez and Nora kept a professional and positive attitude and were very patient with I and my girlfriend. Finding a great, but most importantly hard working lawyer can be hard these days and scary too because there aren't a lot of honest and kind lawyers out here left... I would say in my opinion its not always about the degree the lawyers have rather more than how they talk to you and connect with you because whats a good case built without trust? What we loved about Mr. Alvarez is that any question we had he answered it, if he didnt knew the answer to the question at the moment he would get back to us with an answer later. If I and my family were ever to need Mr. Alvarez to represent us we wouldn't hesitate to contact Mr. Alvarez again. I and my girlfriend cant thank them enough for all their hard work they put in our case. Thank you for your time and attention.

I was referred by a friend that says he does his best to make sure that he get's the compensation that I deserve. He keeps saying to stay tuned that he has everyone handled. I keep getting calls from collections that I'm late on my car payments and insurance when he says that he will help me handle it. It's been six months since my accident and still no results. I'm about to have my first son and I'm so stressed out and he's not doing his job to make sure my case is taken care of. I regret going with him and wish that I would've went with another attorney since there's so many there. My credit is shot, my hospital bills are racking up and he's not making my situation any better. I wish for clarity of the direction of my case but I have no idea. I have friends, family and colleagues who check in with me about my situation and I am embarrassed to say that I have no idea what is going on. I'm ashamed of my decision to hire Attorney Alvarez.

After my accident, I was very unfamiliar with finding a lawyer and the court process. After talking to many other lawyers, I located Christopher Mahoney as a Personal Injury lawyer, and I am so glad I did. Christopher was very professional and he made me feel comfortable and secure about the whole procedure of going through the daunting court process. He was always very professional and thorough in everything he did. I have never needed or had a lawyer before but I am happy to say that I now have a lawyer that I can trust and count on. I definitely recommend Christopher if you are ever needing legal representation. Thank you Christopher Mahoney.

I met David Britton on Ashley Madison. He was my “fun friend” for a long time. He told me his wife was frigid and no longer made him feel desire. So, we had an affair.

I have used Mr. Britton several times. He is easy to work with and will give you realistic expectations and not just what you want to hear.
Mr. Britton help my parents get their Living Will and Medical Power of Attorney taken care of quickly.
I feel that I can call Mr. Britton at anytime for advice and services and I have. When I haven't been able to make it to his office he has made other arrangements to help me or allowed me to meet him after regular scheduled work hours.
I am so glad to have met and used Mr. Brittons services. I just wish I could use him for all my legal needs.

I really don't know what to say. I went there once, was told to come in. Wasn't able to be seen. Come back maybe a month later with an appointment that I had to confirm over the phone, and they tell me I didn't confirm via text, when there was nothing to confirm in their texts. Waste of gas, they would not see me. Was given an appointment over the phone, and just now was told they had to cancel me. This is ridiculous!!

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.
