Just can’t say enough about this Law Firm. My wife and I needed to get our Future in order with our estate and life savings, something that took a lifetime to achieve. We contacted Four Rivers on the advice of a friend who had used them previously and it proved to be great advice. Our call to the office received an immediate response from Mr Southron and all of our questions and concerns were answered. They took the time to explain everything in detail in a manner that was very easy to understand. Abigail Foster was very prompt with getting the completed paperwork to us, where we could finally have piece of mind knowing everyone of our final wishes were taken care of in the future. Their price was very reasonable and we would recommend them HIGHLY. Thanks!!!!!

After my apartment was broken into, Seward Law Office recovered damages for my losses from my negligent landlord! It was very easy to contact Attorney Seward whenever I had questions. She was patient and kind. I was always updated about any changes in my case, through email/phone. It took time to come to a resolution, but I trusted the process and the wait was worth it. Thank you Seward Law Office!

Horrible experience with James G. Souza III, P. that cost me a lot of money. If I could leave negative stars I would! James Souza will lie about everything once he gets the money from you he doesn’t care about you or your case. Slow responsive, Unprofessional in so many ways, Trash customer service, Trash greedy lawyer. He doesn’t like to respond to email because it hold him accountable for his negligent. Nothing has been done for my case! Spend your money somewhere else. James Souza is a joke

I used Jim Souza’s services last year for help with expungement. He was very helpful and organized throughout the whole process. It took some time, no fault of Mr. Souza’s, and in the end, I was able to get the results I was hoping for! Thank you again, Jim!

He kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I understood all of my options. I was particularly impressed with his attention to detail and his ability to navigate complex legal issues.
Overall, I would highly recommend James G. Souza III PA to anyone in need of legal services. His expertise and dedication to his clients is truly unmatched, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future.

Mr. Uccello helped me with a traffic ticket. He was very personable, easy to get talk to, and the best part was that he got my ticket dismissed and I never even had to go to court. I would highly recommend Mr. Uccello!

I was wrongfully accused of a criminal action far from home and I never saw it coming.
This experience is one I would not wish on anyone except, my accuser.
I was fortunate enough to meet Joe Uccello in the cafeteria of the Pinellas County Court building. Joe was “God sent”; I explained my dilemma and asked for his assistance. Immediately, Joe outlined the necessary steps he would take in this matter. He was professional yet, a regular person, engaged, thorough and comforting. He told me not to worry, go home and I will begin my investigation. As Joe proceeded and throughout the process he was timely, honest, efficient and always kept me up to date. In just six weeks, Joe completed his investigation assembled the facts and presented his finding to the District Attorney’s Office. As a result, the criminal action was completely dismissed and my integrity is restored. Further, Joe’s excellent support team headed by Ashley began the process of having my arrest record expunged, as if the incident never occurred. Unlike some attorneys, billing hours are generally their focus but Joe’s focus was always doing the right thing at a reasonable rate. I owe a debt of gratitude to his law firm but, especially Joe and Ashley. They are true professionals in regular folk’s cloths.

You cannot go wrong by contacting Sami Thalji. I had a debt collector calling me and harassing me with threats of imprisonment for a debt that I knew nothing about! Sami answered my question on this forum and handled my case professionally and with ease securing me the max in statutory damages! I could not be happier with the service and attention that was provided to me. I ALWAYS got a response from Mr. Thalji himself whenever I inquired on my case. He is the BEST.

Mr. Thalji's firm represented me in a foreclosure defense matter and at some point during the case identified a possible claim against the bank for calling my cell phone. I didn't understand what was happening but Mr. Thalji took the time to explain it to me and then filed a lawsuit against the bank for the cell phone calls. The case turned out to be very big and as a result my entire mortgage was waived. I went from the verge of losing my home to owning my home free and clear and all because Mr. Thalji identified a claim that was right under my nose but didn't even tell him about. Mr. Thalji and his firm were excellent.

This lawyer is hard to get ahold once we hired him. His staff is even WORSE. Basically you wait forever for them to get back with you. If I were you I would look somewhere else. Unless you like waiting for months on end.

SCAM ALERT! Please don't brush off these bad reviews. Go with a different attorney. DON'T USE JOHN BREWER LAW. I was in an auto accident 3/2021 and although they have been fully paid, I still haven't gotten a dime. They sued MY insurance company and used all my no fault insurance. My insurance company cut them a check but I got none of it. After they got paid, they never contacted me and when I reached out to them there was always an excuse on why they couldn't pay me anything. Today is 4/4/2023 and I still have yet to see a penny of the money and I have no update on when I will ever see any money. If you expect clear communication and to get money when your case is closed, do not go with John Brewer Law. Please don't fall for this fraudster.

Yes, there are 5 million (exaggerated a little) lawyers advertising on TV all claiming to to be biggest, most powerful, blah, blah, blah. I had a terrible car accident and after talking to some of those TV law firms, I realized I'd be "just another number", NEVER talk to an actual attorney--just some "legal assistant" or
paralegal, AND all they cared about was getting me to sign on as a client. I'd heard about John Brewer through a friend, called his office and BAM! - MR. BREWER took my call, personally. He talked to me at length, asked about ME, how I was feeling, had my car been fixed and lots of questions other law firms didn't ask. They wanted case information...Mr. Brewer wanted to know about ME. Guess who I hired? Yes, John Brewer!! I am so pleased with him. He returns my calls. ALWAYS asks how I'm feeling. Remembers my family's names and asks about them. He makes ME feel important and well-taken care of. I feel like he really does care and he is really doing everything he can to resolve ALL of my accident issues and not just rush me to settle for some low-ball amount the insurance company throws out there to get the claim over with. There are bigger law firms. There are hundreds you can call from TV ads. But, my experience is that those law firms care about one thing -- themselves, their image and rushing your case to conclusion whether it's in your best interest or not. If you want to be "part of their herd" -- go ahead --- call one of those. If YOU want to be HEARD and taken care of individually, then call JOHN BREWER. I'm so glad I did. He's just TERRIFIC and I have told anyone that's been hurt--- call John Brewer.

My husband and I can only speak highly of Attorney, Dennis A. Lopez and his team. We were impressed with the very high standard of service and respect we received. Mr. Lopez is superbly efficient and professional. He and his staff are extremely knowledgeable in the field of personal injury and know how to deal with complex issues which can arise. I was extremely pleased on how I was kept up to date with everything that was going on with my case, including the after hour calls when needed. Mr. Lopez and his team were extremely responsive to our questions and even addressed the anticipated questions before we had a chance to ask. Thank you for your ceaseless hard work, dedication, and commitment. Most of all thank you for caring which you clearly do and that makes the difference between a lawyer and a very good lawyer. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anybody we may encounter who may require such services. Thank you for making us feel like we were a part of your family!

I believe the comments left about Dennis A Lopez in regards to a Traffic Citation is a mistaken identity. There is more than one Dennis A Lopez in Tampa Florida. The Dennis A Lopez located at 210 N Pierce Street is a Personal Injury and Civil Litigation Attorney who is highly respected among his peers and clients. I have used Mr. Lopez for advice and legal help on many occasions through out the years. Mr. Lopez has proven to be an ethical and professional individual. I would recommend Mr. Lopez to anyone of my family members without hesitation.

Deeply commited to every aspect of his clients' lives. Genuinely cares. As an attorney, his credentials, knowledge, skill and reputation are absolutely impeccable. As a person, even more outstanding. Mr. Lopez made me feel like I was part of his family. I have known him and part of his family now for over 20 years. Aside from his qualifications as an attorney, which I might add are impeccable, he has proven to me and others I have recommended he cares about the individual not only the client. He does exhaustive research and has an excellent team he works with in preparing your case to represent you. I can say from personal experience he exceeded my expectations in many ways. He is a rare breed in that he is not ruled by the almighty dollar. He puts himself on the line for you in every way possible and goes the extra mile leaving no stone unturned. I have received information directly from Mr. Lopez via e-mail, text, office phone and from his cell phone, it made me feel confident and secure that he cared. Mr. Lopez always made sure he kept me up to date on the progress of my case and was a pleasure to work with.

I hired Attorney Saint Jour for a Personal Injury case and he did a great job on the case. He kept me informed and he fought for me when the insurance company was trying to deny my claim. I was very happy with the way he approached the case and the way he guided me through the process. I did not have to talk to a case manager or some paralegal. I spoke to my lawyer about my case. The whole process was very frustrating since I could not work and I was in constant pain. I am happy Greg was lawyer.

I hired attorney Saint Jour at the Saint Jour Law Firm to handle a Divorce with minor children for me. I had a previous attorney that did not do much and hired attorney Saint Jour. He was very understanding and kept me well informed. He explained the process to me thoroughly. He was very prompt in returning my calls and did an excellent job on the case. I was very satisfied with the result of my case as it relates to my time sharing and child support. I was lucky to have an attorney who was understanding and competent in my corner in this very difficult time in my life.

I wish I could give him a zero! I needed someone to help me with a severe case of harassment from a very large company and thought Mr. Howard could help. I called his office over 10 times I actually lost count. At the very least I should have gotten a call back. Take my case not take my case it doesn't matter. Mr. Howard please have the decency to simply return my call. He is the opposite of professional. I've unfortunately needed serval attorneys in my life.

Ron has work on my case for over a year and I was not pleased at all through the whole process only seen him once when I first signed up, he honestly didn't answer any questions I needed and when I finally after weeks of calling got to speak to him he promised me the help I needed only to find out he didn't move a finger on my case. I asked to get referred to another attorney that could help, he couldn't even do that. I got another attorney and my case was settled within 6 months. He might be a nice attorney but I would never bring my business to him ever again and I do not recommend.

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.
