I used Kevin back in 2004 for an accident case out of Sarasota County. The trial in case took quite a while but that’s expected. Kevin was absolutely amazing and did an in-depth thorough job. He kept me updated all along the way and it all paid off in the end, literally, I highly recommend Kevin Woods for any type of Cases that he practices. I really don’t think you could find a better attorney anywhere around in Southwest Florida, including Morgan and Morgan. If you’ve been involved in any kind of an accident whatsoever, make sure you hire this man because you won’t find any better.

Attorney Valkenburg was very professional, very knowledgeable, and always had an answer to any questions I had. Mr. Valkenburg in my opinion is exactly what you want if you are needing legal advice and legal representation. Great attorney that I would hire again and definitely recommend to others.

Jason and Tara were both amazing through the entire process. Going through a divorce is hard enough, and adding in custody issues makes it even harder. Jason was very straightforward with what to expect from the initial consultation all the way through the trial. They are very easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. I have no doubt in my mind that I could not have hired a better attorney to represent myself through the divorce. Thank you, Jason and Tara!!

I could not have asked for a better person to consult with during what seemed to me the most overwhelming legal situation I could face. Jason was extremely patient and incredibly thorough with explaining the process and what needed to be done. I hope you never need an attorney for as serious a matter as I did but if you do, do yourself a favor and call Jason.

I needed an attorney for my Son who was faced with a very serious case. I was very doubtful because of previous representation for my Son. Mr. Scriven was very professional he made me feel like he understood my concerns as a parent but deep down inside I felt like we do not know each other so how can he understand my pain for my Son. I still was very doubtful felt as if he was talking a good legal game towards me but today 6/29/2021 he showed my that he knows the LAW and truly cares about his clients. God Bless this Man and his LAW firm.

I hired Bryant Scriven on a few different cases within the past 6 years, he is an awesome lawyer ! All the cases he handled for me.....let's just say I walked out the courtroom satisfied. The last case he handled for me he got my felony dropped down to a misdemeanor,got me probation, went and filed for my early termination of probation after I violated probation and I was released with the judge telling me go be the nurse that he know I can be.Thanks so much Bryant for all your work over the years.

READ THIS AND CHECK OTHER REVIEWS.. FIND SOMEONE ELSE. I hired this attorney back in July 2024 on a case against a car dealership and since then I have not been able to get any communication back from him or his office regarding the status of this case. In fact, the last I heard from him was October in which he states he will get back with me on an update. Many many phone calls and messages left for him and many many unanswered emails later i have heard not one word back. I paid his fee in full when I hired him and now am left with no result. I will be getting with the Florida Bar and submitting a complaint there also.

Hiring Mr.Dickstein was one of the best decisions I ever made. My son was facing a second-degree felony and two misdemeanors, but Mr. Dickstein worked tirelessly with the prosecutor to secure the best possible outcome. He kept us informed at every stage and made sure to explain the legal process in simple, understandable terms. We wouldn't have been able to navigate this challenging time without Mr. Dickstein on our side.

I can’t thank Jonah Dickstein enough for his outstanding work on my case. I was facing false charges of misuse of the 911 or E911 system and resisting an officer without violence, brought against me by an angry officer when I was never arrested. From the beginning, Jonah demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal system and an impressive knowledge of the law. Rather than wasting time and money in court, he worked to secure a pretrial deferment, which ultimately led to my case being dismissed. Jonah is incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients’ well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and effective attorney. He turned a stressful situation into a manageable process and achieved the best possible outcome for me.

Honestly, the best lawyer, I’ve had the experience of working with, & I’ve had quite a few! Very professional always there for you 100%, answers the phone unless he’s in court. Probably should have billed me for a therapist fee because while I was going through my tribulations he was always there for me to talk to, and vent to! Even came by my mom‘s house to meet my family and just check on me face-to-face, Not only is he a great lawyer he’s a great person with a great heart, Rare nowadays to find a lawyer with such passion about what he does and for his clients! Recommend 10 out of 10! Best lawyer in the state of Florida my personal opinion! Forever will feel indebted to him for helping me and seeing me through my court case. Thank you so much Jona!

I hired the Fernandez firm about 2 years ago. I spoke with Mr. Fernandez myself. I signed all their paperwork and sent them everything they asked me for. I had some questions during this time, so I spoke with his Legal assistant by phone and email. I asked to speak with Mr. Fernandez on several occasions, to no avail. I also signed a paper saying I could not discuss my case with anyone else. I believe that the statute of limitations is past now, and I’ve still heard nothing. What my husband endured through horrible neglect he has still not recovered from. I’ve spoken with many doctors and nurses that told me this was pure neglect and never should have happened. I’m devastated.

First of all, I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Hunter. After extensive research and considering many options, I ultimately chose her, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. No one ever knows what to expect in situations like this, and my emotions were running high, as I’m sure anyone reading this review can relate to. Mrs. Hunter tailors her approach to fit each unique situation. I initially thought I needed a super aggressive attorney, but I quickly realized that Mrs. Hunter's well-established relationships with other attorneys in the Tampa Bay Area made all the difference. Let’s face it, divorce is incredibly challenging, but it doesn’t have to be unbearable when you have a skilled attorney who keeps you out of court, helps you stay levelheaded, and is mindful of your finances. I have come to believe that Mrs. Hunter has been in this field long enough to prioritize her clients’ best interests over simply making money. She genuinely cares about her clients and focuses on achieving the best financial and logical outcomes. In my experience, she values great word-of-mouth referrals over the “smash and grab” approach that many other attorneys adopt. Hands down, I give Mrs. Hunter and her top-notch staff and partnered attorneys five stars all the way

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 have had an old uncleared case that at some point had to be taken care of. I‘ve received a recommendation to contact Mr. Souza with this problem. And I have to say - it was the best decision! Mr. Souza called me back very fast, even though I live in Europe now. He took a lot of time to listen to me and every detail of my trouble. He was very professional and at the same time really friendly and pleasant to talk to, and it’s very important when you are going to trust someone with some very private details from your life ( or past life). Straight away I had a good feeling about my new attorney! We did everything with the help of emails and phone calls. I didn’t have to worry about anything, because Mr. Souza has done everything on my behalf, and no other attorney could represent me more perfectly, than this lawyer! After a few months I received an email that everything was over and have won! So, if you are in some kind of troubles and looking for an attorney who will take your case seriously and will be fighting for you passionately, than this is your man!

After 4 months "representing" Alan told me Ford motor company was "ignoring us"...so now we are going to have to sue them. Well I thought that was what you were doing??? Then one inspector looked at my recalled Ford Fusion which rolled over my leg said I must have gotten out of a moving car. Clearlythe recall showed car would be placed in PARK and roll. The three plants involved in the recall issue were available through auto paperwork. My Ford Fusion was manufactured in Mexico at that specific time. I found Wagner impotent for my case .

Prior to Robert sparks I had a console that in 3 years I wasn’t getting anywhere and going on 4 years of not seeing my son. As soon as I hired Robert Sparks he was able to not only get me quality time within 3 months, but within 6 months he got me a 50/50 time sharing even after many false allegations from mom to DCF about child abuse. Those allegations were dismissed within a day!! If you want a sharp aggressive lawyer but can also show empathy from you to the judge, then hire Robert Sparks attorneys!! THEY WILL GET RESULTS!

My experience with this attorney was extremely disappointing. Despite paying for services, he failed to deliver on multiple promises. I specifically hired him to negotiate with a collection agency to reduce costs or establish a payment plan, but no progress was made. When I asked him to file a motion with the court, he initially agreed but later refused after receiving payment. Unfortunately, I received no assistance or meaningful results, leaving me to handle the matter on my own. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone seeking reliable, honest or effective representation.

I appreciate your professionalism, your knowledge of law and especially your handling of the difficult individuals that you had to face during my case, but more importantly winning my case. I contribute this to so many qualities that you have demonstrated in my case. such as integrity, logical thinking skills and passion for your legal specialty. Also, rather than giving in to what the other side of the courtroom was saying, you were willing to argue for what you believe in. Even though as a client I wanted this to go away quickly, you confidently showed patience with me by explaining the law and thought of arguments that were favorable for my case and presented them in a persuasive way. The Judge and opposing attorney acknowledge your expertise and knowledge of the Law, Brittany continues doing what you do, sharpening your knowledge, and being the best you can be, You’re an excellent lawyer! I would refer you for all matters in your legal specialty. It was great working with you. Thank you.

I was at a previous law firm that eventually fired me as a client due to a fault of theirs, the Berstein office picked it up and ran with it quicker, more aggressively and was always on my side, unlike the previous large injury law firm. The parallel, Michelle, also deserve 5 stars of her own for being extremely nice, attentive, but most importantly, THEY KEPT ME IN THE LOOP

I could not be more grateful for Riccardeau Lucceus and his team. At every step of the way I was supported, tended, considered and consistently updated. With them you feel like family and their work ethic is superior. They treat you as a person, not a case and in this industry of personal injury this is a rare gem. Honestly, the promise to get your best results possible was a kept promise for me and my loved ones in the case. We were all so taken care of and treated with the utmost respect. I recommend then as outstanding people, team and professionals. They were my blessing in a rough time without a doubt.

I would recommend Frank Papa for your legal needs. I had filed my chapter 13 bankruptcy with him and once I had completed my bankruptcy my mortgage company tried to add some pre-bankruptcy fees to my account. I tried to handle it myself but was not getting anywhere with the company. I contacted Frank who handled my case and he went right to work settling this matter. He showed compassion, understanding and most of concerned I was going through this. He is very knowledgeable of the laws and fought for me the “little guy” to resolve this issue. I personally appreciate and I’m very thankful for all he did for me. Again I would recommend him highly.

Ive never dealt with Attorneys before what a great experience to have Frank and Robert Geller Attorney firm to back you..Frank and the Firm treated me like Family.. He's truly a Blessing and so Thankful i called them...Frank went above and beyond for me im sure that he does for many others daily! God Bless you...Ive been Blessed.

Frank was assigned to me for my bankruptcy. BEST thing that’s happened to me in a long time! Frank is an AWESOME attorney who knows his business! You can, without doubt, rely on him for his experience, his knowledge and his innate smarts! But he’s so MUCH MORE than that - he has been an exceptionally caring and supportive person and all-around wonderful in guiding me through my personal ordeal these last two years. In addition to these superlatives, Frank has been correct in all the decisions and choices he has guided me through! I recently told him that “he walks in water” and I truly do not know what I would have done without Frank’s help, guidance, support and genuine concern for me during this process. I can’t say enough good things about Frank and highly recommend him!

I recently retained John to represent me in a domestic violence case. I had no prior incidents and no understanding of the legal aspects involved. John was prompt to call me after my initial inquiry, and he walked me through each step with confidence. I asked every question (some multiple times), but he remained patient. I had a favorable outcome in court, and now I can work on putting this behind me. While I hope I will never need his guidance again, I would recommend him to anyone needing competent and compassionate legal assistance.

I needed to find a good lawyer to help me to fight against a problematic neighbor that has lied to the Court, obtaining a legal injunction against me. John was extremely professional and competent and, right before the judge hearing, he managed to discuss with this neighbor the case and the repercussions of her inconsequent actions. After John’s intervention, the case became much simpler and basically resumed into the preparation of a legal letter. Before meeting John, I had contacted other lawyers that wanted to charge twice as much as John, also suggesting much more complicated legal strategies. Therefore I strongly recommend John’s legal services for anybody that desires to solve a legal residential (or similar) dispute with the help of an energetic and intelligent lawyer, extremely competent and that offers very reasonable rates. Sincerely, C. Fernandez

John Castro expertly guided me through the toughest challenge of my life. Earlier this year, a deeply troubled person I made the mistake of befriending fabricated serious felony accusations against me, both with the police and in a civil case. For whatever twisted motive, the accuser wanted to inflict maximum damage as quickly as possible and even hired a seasoned attorney and a state-funded advocate to pressure the police to make an early arrest and to convince the judge to prematurely rule on the civil case. Either scenario would have cost me my job. Luckily, I had the three most important things on my side: the truth, faith and John. Thanks to John's encyclopedic legal knowledge and his invaluable experience as a former prosecutor, he helped avoid an arrest and defered the ruling on the civil case until the criminal investigation was complete. I can't emphasize enough that an arrest alone would have cost me my job. This was critical. 6 months after the initial accusations, indisputable forensic and video evidence fully exonerated me. The detective filed the case as unfounded. Yet despite the overwhelming evidence, the accuser insisted on pursuing the civil case. I guess it was important to keep the lie going, and apparently not too much evidence is needed to convince a judge to rule against someone in a civil case.. There was a trial. John was brilliant. The ruling was in our favor. Thank you John Castro.

He was able to meet with me personally and right away and he's never hard to get a hold of. He helped me find medical care to help me with my injuries. Once I got better the insurance company didn't want to pay me for my injuries. Armando and his team had to file suit and take the insurance company and the other driver to court. We were able to agree once the insurance company paid the maximum amount under the policy. Thank you Armando and team! You guys are great!

If I could give Eilam 10 stars I would. Eilam was the second attorney to represent me in my 2nd DUI case. I wish I would have hired him from the start. He represented my husband in a DUI arrest last year and won it quickly. He represented my sister in a drinking and driving accident where he got that thrown out as well. Over a long and difficult 2 years, Eilam got me a dismissal through an appeal. It was THE BEST outcome for my case. Eilam will fight for you and work his hardest to win your case for you. I would not recommend anyone else. He has the knowledge, care and expertise. He is aggressive in court but so caring to his clients.

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.
