I got into a horrific rear-end car accident in Sept of 2020 and immediately hired an attorney. That attorney after handling my case for 2.5 years recommended I accept the top offer being made by the insurance company of $37,500. Something didn’t seem right and thats when a friend referred me to Max. I had an initial consultation with him and instantly knew I was in good hands. I quickly fired my old attorney and hired Max. Within 1 month of taking my case, he filed a lawsuit and within 1 year he settled my case for $375,000. Not only did he attend all the depositions and take my case to mediation, but he made sure I got the medical care that I needed. I don’t usually trust anyone, but I truly felt like I could trust Max with my case. His communication was great, he’s aggressive with his cases, and he wants to get you as much compensation as possible. I highly recommend using Max for any personal injury case.

I consider myself very fortunate to have found Maxwell and Winters & Yonker when I did. My only regret is that I didn’t find them much much sooner! I had a great experience working with Max and his team. They were ALWAYS there to answer questions, respond to emails call when I needed some reassurance and always, always provided updates along the way. Max is always professional and passionate about what he does and about his clients. He is very compassionate and always made me feel like I was his only client even though I know I wasn’t :)). I highly recommend Max and his team! They are an amazing group of people! Thank you Max for everything you and your team did!

Years ago I had a dream vacation of mine cut short and ruined by a negligent hotel infested with bed bugs. They wouldn’t give me a refund whatsoever even after cutting my trip short because they wouldn’t work with me to get transferred to another location! I didn’t know what to do and after a google search, found him, and he absolutely crushed them and made my really awful vacation into something that was actually nice. Explained everything to me how things worked, was polite, kind, understanding, and all around really felt like he genuinely just didn’t want to do my case because it was a cut of mine but because he felt I got wronged and wanted to help try to fix it.

Dan is one of the friendliest lawyers I have met, and I know a lot of them because I am an attorney myself. When I got into a car accident I didn't know what to do. Insurance companies wanted statements, my car was totaled, I was in pain, I didn't know how to proceed. After I went to the walk-in clinic, I called Dan and he assured me he would handle everything else with the insurance. I got money for a new car and compensation for my injury. Dan helped make everything go very smoothly. I would def. recommend him to a friend.

When I slipped and fell and shattered my shoulder -I looked around and interviewed. several law firms .
Most were not really interested because they felt it was too small of a case ( not enough of a fee for them )
Andre Lama told me he would take the case and that it would take a while but he would represent me in the best possible way .
He did what he promised and touched base with me to let me know any updates and I was happy with the outcome !
I would highly recommend him

From our first meeting, Mr Lama made us feel at ease and at the same time explained completely and very clearly how he was going to proceed with our case.
He did exactly what he told us on that first meeting and helped us minimize the 20% medical charges we incurred.
We will definitely use him again if needed. Also, will recommend him to our friends.
Mr Lama, thank you.

Marie is an exceptional human being, and the greatest lawyer you will ever find. When our house flooded over two years ago, we didn’t know what to do. Our house was destroyed, insurance denied our claim, my newborn baby was ill from the water/mold damage, and I was lost. It was such a dark time. I didn’t know where to go, what to do, or who to talk to. All I knew is that I needed to leave my home to keep my child in a safe environment, and that my house needed to be completely gutted and rebuilt. But where to begin? How could I afford it? Why wasn’t insurance doing what I paid for? I didn’t know how to answer ANY of those questions. Marie was like a knight in shining legal armor. At no upfront cost, she not only went to bat for me against my homeowner’s insurance, but she also helped me navigate where to go, who to talk to, and in what order to start tackling the demolition/reconstruction of my house. She was there with my family every step of the way. She communicated, even if there was nothing to say. She got angry with me, she got angry FOR me. She fought for us where we couldn’t, and NEVER gave up. It wasn’t easy and it was a very long road, but Marie knew our worth. She put us first always, even if it meant putting herself on the backburner. Now over two years later, we have finally moved back into our finished home, received a check from the insurance company to cover the costs, and finally can look forward instead of backwards. There are not enough words to communicate my sincere gratitude towards Marie – but I will never stop singing her praises.

Marie was extremely professional, thorough, and unrelenting in resolving my dispute with my home insurer over roof damage. She quickly convinced the insurance company to fully pay the damage claim rather than the 1/3 the insurance company offered me. You can be guaranteed I will use Marie for all my future lawyer needs. Marie, I thank you again for the excellent work you did for me and my family. She saved me over $10K in unnecessary expenses.

Stars are not made, they are born... and from the shadows of a formidable, prominent and successful Tampa law firm emerges a red giant. Now at the helm of The Jose Barreiro Law Firm, Mr. Barreiro has risen to his own part of the sky to shine.
I have had the pleasure to know Mr. Barreiro personally as well as having him represent me and my family as our attorney. A class act and a gentleman as an individual... Savvy, intelligent and aggressive yet subtle as counsel. Competent as any and all in trial and proficient in the research of law. He knows law. Period.
In addition, Mr. Barreiro is well respected by his peers and colleagues as evident in every courtroom he enters. That is an intangible that even the best attorneys lack. Remember the name...
Just recently I referred him to a friend for a friend whos situation was very bleak. In short, he saved his client's life.
I'm thankful as everyone I've every referred but Please Don't Take My Word For It.

When I was involved in an auto accident in November of 2021, I hired Mr. Johnson to represent me and I could not have been happier, more impressed, and comfortable with the representation I received. As a practicing attorney, I had expectations for my attorney, but Mr. Johnson exceeded all of them.
The advice I was given was stellar, and Mr. Johnson explained every aspect of my case to me in a constructive, educational, and professional manner. In addition, Mr. Johnson was an effective communicator and was very reasonable and consistent in his communication. I had an outstanding experience!
If I am ever injured again, I am calling a firm that cares about me, my family, and my case: I am calling Mr. Johnson.

I first learned of Mr. Vinson when I received his solicitation to represent me in asbestosis litigation.
He and his staff had me undergo thorough medical examination, resulting in a confirmed diagnosis of asbestosis. As a result, I have received substantial settlement payments -- and Mr. Vinson has really raked in the bucks for himself!

My experience with Attorney Kevin Sparkman was very good. I have dealt with other Attorneys in the Tampa Bay area including larger Law Firms and I never experienced the level of professional service that I did received from the Law Firm of Sparkman and Sparkman P.A. My spouse was involved in an automobile accident and I spoke to other attorneys and was not satisfied till I met Kevin Sparkman. Mr. Sparkman settled my spouse case effectively and even reduced his fees. After working with Kevin on my spouse personal injury case, I would not recommend that my family or friends see anyone else .To anyone looking for representation for a automobile accident, family law, business law or an appellate law or needs an attorney’s advice, I highly recommend Law Office of Sparkman & Sparkman, P.A and they are located in South Tampa. Sparkman & Sparkman, P.A. may not be on television as much as other lawyers, but Mr. Kevin Sparkman sure knows his stuff better than all of them!

James was recommended by one of my friend. I am from Europe and all of my family members live outside of US. The car accident was not my fault, so it was hard to accept, it could happen. To deal with everything in my life was difficult being a single Mom with a special needs son. When I decided to hire an attorney, I knew in my heart James will be the best for me. I was hopeless and scared when we started our journey together. From the first minute and even now, I felt like he is not just my attorney who works for getting paid, he was my friend and family in the same time. He made out of my case the best. I will be always thankful and grateful for him and also for his staff. Do not hesitate if you need an attorney, He would be your best choice as well!!!!

I had a very complicated auto accident case and many companies to deal with while also trying to heal from my injuries. Melody took on my case and lifted the worry off my shoulders. She was able to successfully negotiate a settlement for me with a full payout from the other guy's iauto insurance without having to go to trial. She kept me well informed along the entire journey and discussed the risks and advantages with me at every decision point. I knew what was being paid out of my settlement and was quickly able to pick up my check once her office received the funds. I would definitely recommend Melody and will certainly hire her again if the situation arises. Thanks for all of your hard work, professionalism and care!

I would recommend Peter Carratt as a lawyer. I felt that he cared about my situation and he made the process for filing for bankruptcy easier than I thought it would be. I am grateful for all the work he did to help me to be able to start over. Again... I highly recommend Peter Carratt.

Peter is very forthcoming and knowledgeable. I was unsure what my options were and quite frankly scared about my situation. He really listened and came up with a plan. I would have been lost without him.

Unfortunately, I was hit by an uninsured motorist which resulted in an injury. Since I had never been injured in a motor vehicle accident before, I was unsure how to navigate the entire process. I was referred to Vanguard Attorneys who oversaw and managed everything. They advocated for me and all of my needs. I am truly grateful that they were there to navigate me through the entire process. They were very understanding about my experience, even when I did my best to not let others see what was occurring. Despite the insurance company attempting to minimize my injury and not pay for necessary medical care, I was able to get an outcome that was fair and reasonable in the end. I am extremely grateful for the assistance of Vanguard Attorneys. Karina, Sylvia, and Grace will guide and fight for you every step of the way.

Vanguard was referred to me by someone I trust and know, who too was also a client of theirs! I am so glad I found them. Grace was really helpful with all of the insurance paperwork and she negotiated with the doctors so I was able to keep more of the settlement. Grace so loving and kind, was always available and went out of her way to keep me updated! That really made me know they cared especially with the immediate responses to my questions. *****Karina was my astounding attorney and she did a great job explaining the process from the start and also what to expect during each step in the process. It was definitely a relief to have someone really break it down for me. HOWEVER! It was clear the insurance company wasn’t taking my accident seriously at first but after Karina began negotiating on my behalf, they understood how much of an impact this was having on m life. I wish the other driver hadn’t causes this accident but I’m grateful I found Vanguard, I don’t know what I would have done without them. If you need someone to have your back its them! You wont regret it.******

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.
