Mark is the best lawyer I've ever had. He and his law firm took care of all my needs. I never had to chase down one single paper. His attitude is very bussiness only, another thing I like as no one has time to waste. I've sent family members to him as well and I can't imagine using anyone else in the future but him.

Chris, and the team at Butler and Boyd followed up every step of the way throughout my case, and made sure I was receiving the medical care needed after my bicycle accident.

Jason did a phenomenal job with a fire insurance claim on my investment property. The insurance company refused to pay the full amount owed. We filed a lawsuit and they ended up paying before trial. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs top quality representation from an honest attorney. Thanks again Jason!

I have found Dennis to be one of the true "Good Guys" in the legal arena. I have used his office for several different issues and each time I had complete and total satisfaction with the service and expertise that has been shown to me and my family. He makes you feel at ease and is always willing to explain things in "plain English"
I will continue to use his firm and recommend him to others as well.

Marcus Fernandez is a top notch attorney. I hired him for an injury case. He went above and beyond my expectations. He would keep me posted on my case often, via phone calls, since my schedule didn't all time for a face to face. He was willing to incorporate my time into his schedule.
One thing I have to say is that he asked me one question. "What do you expect to get out of this suit financially" he said to take a week and honestly think about it. Well I did just that. Now I could have thrown out a number and that would have been it. But I took his advice and listed all the specific details. Every night I was up in pain all night. All the days I missed work, family finances that occurred from this incident. I wrote the list so specific that I came down to every penny that I felt was owed to me, and details as to why.
Mr. Fernandez called me and said that with all his experience he never had someone do that. Normally they would come up with a number and that was that. I said well you asked me to really think about it and be specific. Well that's what I did.
The next step was the deposition, in which he did explain to me how difficult they defense would be and he would correct. He prepped me for just that.
One thing I have to say is that at first I went with a "popular" law firm Morgan & Morgan, because of their popularity. And they dropped the ball on my case. I learned that it's not about the person with Morgan & Morgan. You're just a number there. But with Fernandez you're an individual who matters.
Bottom line we won the case and he did get the amount I wanted and felt was fare. He was amazing and I would recommend him 100%.

I would like to say that Harrell & Harrell, PA - Ms. Candace Knox, Attorney At Law, and all staff have been super professional. Attorney Knox has got to be the most personable young lawyer I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I am sure that she has been more than willing to be all that Mr. Harrell would expect. I would have to say that she cares very much for her clients. She made us feel our lives were a priority and an important part of her day. She made it clear that she was going to fight for my family. I have never had an attorney who would fight for their client. My husband and I thank Harrell & Harrell, PA for pushing it over the top! Word of mouth is a good way to gain trust and business, and Attorney Knox is an awesome blessing to the the firm. Our accident was very traumatic, but we thank God for finding Harrell & Harrell, PA. A lighthouse in the storm.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kemp Ruge & Green Law Group to settle an injury case. Stacy Gleason and Marc Crumpton worked diligently to reach the best possible verdict and kept me informed constantly as the case progressed. Their constant communication and ability to explain proceedings so that they were easy to understand made it a pleasure to work with them through a difficult time. I would highly recommend the Kemp Ruge & Green Law Group for future legal advise and representation. To Stacy and Marc, I truly appreciate all of your hard work!

My eighteen year old daughter went from being a healthy college athlete to suffering a massive stroke, paralysis, brain damage and multiple heart surgeries as a result of malpractice. She was hospitalized for over two months and had an extremely lengthy rehabilitation and recovery period. We hired Charles Moore in 2013 on the recommendation of a relative who is an attorney. I wasn't even aware of the firm he worked for at the time. To be perfectly honest, I probably would not have contacted that firm because I was of the opinion that large firms provide less personal service and I needed to look the person who would represent us in the eye to get an idea of the type of person they were. My daughter had been through enough already and I needed to know that the attorney representing her would be someone she could relate to and someone who would be patient and understanding with her. Mr. Moore made himself available to us for all questions large and small at any given time. There was never a time I called him when he didn't answer personally. I wasn't sure what to expect because I had never been in this kind of situation before. He was very easy to communicate with and explained each step of the process clearly and thoroughly. While preparing her case for trial he was persistent and thorough. Her case was a complicated one and it required expert medical opinions and the review of volumes of records as well as depositions from numerous people. Throughout it all we were kept up to date and well informed.
Mr. Moore is friendly and personable but nothing to be trifled with when it comes time for mediation or trial. Fortunately we were able to reach a settlement without going to trial. The opposing counsel told me afterwards that if it weren't for him we would not have fared as well at mediation and I sincerely believe that. The fact that he was not afraid to go to trial if we had to made a big difference. Although I didn't want to put my daughter through a trial, she will have ongoing medical needs for the rest of her life and has lost things that she will never get back. It was important to me that she not have to worry about how to pay for her future medical care and that she be at least somewhat compensated for her loss.
I pray that I will never need a malpractice attorney again in my life but if I do, Chad Moore will be who I call. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was truly a blessing to my family and we owe him so much. He is more than a competent attorney, he is a kind and genuine person who I am glad to have met.

Our 8 year old child was coached by their counselor to be Baker Acted just a week after same counselor had his twin Baker Acted. Children with normal life and mental health patterns before beginning with this school counselor at the start of the year.
Adam was by our side within 4 hours of contact, working with his partner to get our Writ of Habeas Corpus together on a Friday afternoon and document gathering from others as well as our family's doctor and put in play a judge at the ready. He even handled the cops when they were called on us as the administrator couldn't get her story straight. Our child was released within the next 4 through Friday night to our and our doctor's care thanks to the quick thinking and firm hand Adam used to bring our Baker Acted son home to us.
I'm deeply grateful to his quick actions and quick thinking to prevent our son from being held against his (and our) will creating traumatizing memories.

Andres is one of the most personable and straightforward professionals I know. I hired him in April of 2014, to represent me in two not-at-fault MVA's. Over the last almost 18 mos, he and his staff have worked diligently on my case, and made themselves available to me within my schedule, via a variety of channels. Andres has taken this extremely stressful situation, mitigated inconvenience to me, and kept me thoroughly updated on all aspects of the two cases.
I hope you never find yourself injured and in need of legal representation, but should you find yourself in the position where the need for an incredible personal injury attorney arises, I 100% recommend Andres Oliveros. You won't be disappointed!

No one knows when tragedy will strike a family. Senseless drunk drivers and the costs they cause both financially and physically to your loved ones led me to Mr. Deem. Unless you are in an accident you cannot image the medical collection notices and insanity of the insurance industry. Just know its impossible to navigate on your own. Be prepared to hire an attorney to assist you with getting your claims paid and so much more. I am grateful to Mr.Deem and his dedicated staff for their commitment to their clients. It is not an easy road to recovery but having someone with knowledge and experience can lift your spirits.

Mr. Perrott represented me in a rather unusual case (and we won!). My ex sued me claiming that the dog that I had purchased while we were together was hers. Not everyone would understand the importance of a case like this, but to me, the thought of losing my dog was unbearable. Mr. Perrott was very sympathetic to this issue, and easy to work with. He was also very professional and very thorough in the way he prepared for the case, bringing relevant witnesses, including the breeder who he was able to have provide a written statement as well as testify telephonically from out of state (which didn't end up being necessary-- but he was prepared). I can't thank Mr. Perrott enough. You never want to be in a position where you have to seek the counsel an attorney, but if I am put in that situation, I would absolutely hire him again.

Ms. Lanier represented our family in lengthy litigation when my Aunt's hairdresser became her emergency guardian. She worked tirelessly to reveal to the court how the frail and elderly can be easily taken advantage. Even though the opposing attorney delayed and delayed the court date, and the hairdresser put our Aunt into Hospice care, we were able to see the hairdresser scolded by the court for many things, including mismanagement of funds and paying a very questionable male friend to 'see about' our Aunt. Thankfully, our Aunt lived long enough to thwart the hairdresser. Ms. Lanier was professional and compassionate. She fought for our Aunt....tooth-and-nail. It is with heartfelt thanks that I write this on behalf of our family.

was planning to represent myself for a simple traffic ticket in Hillsborough County Court in a Thursday at 9am. The night before, I received a call from my colleague at work that they were sick and would be unable to work the next day. That meant that I would have to cover for them and also be unable to appear in court to defend my case. I decided that I would go to the internet early the next morning and to try to find an attorney. I need to find someone that advertised defending traffic court cases, AND that was already planning on being in my assigned court room that day. I searched for Attorney’s offices that opened at 8am so I could hopefully retain counsel before my case was on the docket after 9am.
I made several calls to no avail. Every office I tried stated that it was just too late to retain one of their attorneys in such a rushed time period. I then came across the Tison Law Group’s website. I called their office and I was given their attorney, Mr Anthony (Tony) Duran, personal cell phone number and instructed to call him, as he was to be in my court room that day. Tony Duran answered my call immediately, listened to my situation and assured me he could and would help me. I was very relieved and felt the upmost confidence in Tony, in just a few minute phone conversation. I called back his office and gave them my person info, my case number and my credit card info and was charged a very reasonable retainer fee. I went to work and felt very assured that I had found the right attorney.
The next call I received from Tony, a short while later, was that my case was DISMISSED!! I was so impressed with Mr Duran with the Tison Law Group, in that short time he represented me. I have a high regard for Tony Duran and would definitely use his services again if the need arises. While other attorneys wouldn’t think outside the box and take a case at the last moment, Tony Duran with the Tison Law Group was my savior that day!

I hired John to assist me with an auto accident case. John was a pleasure to work with. When I first met John, he had a professional and calm demeanor, which immediately put me at ease. The auto accident left me in pain, anxious, and worried about paying my medical bills. John was very reassuring and encouraged me to continue the treatment that I needed so I could most importantly, start to feel better. I found John to be very knowledgeable of the legal process. He communicated well with me during the process and kept me up-to-date via phone calls and e-mails. He worked diligently on my case and I received full compensation for our injuries. I received a much larger settlement by using John than if I had settled with the insurance company without using an attorney. I had met with the insurance company prior to hiring John, and the amount they wanted to settle for would not have covered hardly any of the treatment that I needed. John went above and beyond to negotiate my major medical bills down to a small percentage of what I was initially required to pay. He even followed up on a couple of the lingering bills after our case was settled. I would highly recommend John to friends and family and would use him again if needed.

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.
