I cannot say enough good things about Jake & how well he took care of my mom during an extremely difficult time. He listened to her & her concerns. He was very thorough explaining & re-explaining everything to myself & my mom answering all of our questions, no matter how silly or repetitive they were.
Jake helped minimize the stress for myself & my sister while caring for our mother & took care of everything needed regarding what was needed from a legal standpoint which allowed us to focus on my mom & her care.
When Jake needed to meet with us, he came to us. He came to our mom while she was in rehab & also in her home.
I would highly recommend Jake & the Team at WDT Law to anyone going through what we went through. Hopefully our family won't ever go through another life changing event like we did last fall. If we do, without hesitation, Jake would be one of the first people my family & I would call!

Had an incredible experience with Williams DeClark Tuschman! I was in a really bad car accident in Ohio where I was rear ended and sustained some pretty bad injuries due to the speed at which I was hit and my vehicle being almost completely stopped. I was afraid that having no insurance at the time I was not going to be protected and have no way to deal with my injuries and going through therapy. My lawyer, Jacob Hamilton took care of me from the moment we spoke all the way through my entire case and helped me not only find the right place to be taken care of thoroughly until I was completely rehabilitated but also kept up with me after the fact and was able to get me the money that I deserved for what I endured!
I would recommend this Law firm to anyone that needs legal assistance. I continue to feel so grateful for the people in this office. They truly care about their clients from start to finish and are so meticulous with their work!

I can’t believe nobody has given her a review yet. Julie is amazing I got in a bit of trouble over the last few years and she helped me get record sealed. I feel like she has a fairly healthy relationship with the courts as well which of course makes things easier. Thank you for everything again.

I have custody of my daughter again, due to the representation of Jeremy Levy and his team.
I was fighting a case, and it seemed the court was against me. Everything seemed hopeless, as it seemed the judge and magistrate were not adhering to the law. To that extent, my previous lawyer filed to be withdrawn from the case.
I made my mind up. This time I was going to find the best lawyer and put an end to the injustice happening to me. I found that lawyer in Jeremy Levy.
Professional and affirmative, every step of the way. I could call 10 times a day or 1 time a month. Every time we spoke, he was just as passionate as in my initial consultation.
Every motion filed, every law show I have seen, seems illiterate. From strategy and timing, to research and sense of urgency, NO ONE could hope for a better lawyer.
We fought tooth and nail and prevailed. My daughter is back home with me, and life is back to normal after such a scary hiatus. All thanks to Levy and Levy.
PS. While he was in court, I heard even the bailiffs say to each other “man that Jeremy is a bulldog”

I hired Jeremy Levy to assist me in obtaining shared parenting for my son. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. Despite my clear desire for more time with my child, the outcome of the case was far from satisfactory. I was awarded visitation only on Wednesdays for 2 and half hours and every other weekend. When I expressed my desire for a reevaluation of the custody arrangement, Jeremy Levy advised me to wait for a year. This delay seemed unreasonable, and I felt as though my child's best interests were not being adequately considered. I would not recommend Jeremy Levy to anyone seeking legal representation in family law matters.

I only have experience with Bill Goseline, and I am shocked by his inability to deliver what he promises. Bill Goseline has yet to keep his word and produce documents requested of him, despite more than a month having past since he agreed to share them. Bill Goseline avoided answering me for nearly a year before that, and only responded when asked by a fellow attorney. He treated me like I didn't exist, and still can't keep his promise to a fellow counselor. I believe his conduct is in violation of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. I do not know if the firm of Schumaker is aware of his defiance of repeated requests for documents, I only know of my communication with Bill. He has failed to fulfill his obligations in direct opposition to proper ethics, with no regard for the people he is impacting.

John Siciliano lied to me several times, saying he would help me get a refund because the situation was not normal. He proposed me to write a letter with my engagement (even though it was illegal and will deny it as always), only to later claim he never requested this ans refuse my engagement. He was saying contradictory things during our communication... He trusts his team, who lied to me multiple times and had no proof over my countless evidence. As always, they will deny and say it was not true or I didn't understand, despite my having all the proof.
I do not recommend working with this law firm: Shumaker. They are liars, the managers validate the lies of their team (even when they have no proof), and they don't answer to the clients. If I could give 0/5, I would. Please don't waste your money and go work with real professionals! They are the worst business I have ever worked with.

10 to 15 thousand dollars for them to submit an injunction for a single father that's not ethical and pushed me to sign papers to charge me and not even write a single thing on any of the documents I needed, I got about 2 questions from him after he read my letter. The fee did get waived thankfully.

I chose the Kalniz firm, because my mother worked for one of its predecessor firms, decades ago. I met with attorney Epstein, last week, to review needed changes to my will, due to changes in my family circumstances, and I gave him written notes regarding the changes I wanted to make. The initial draft I received back from attorney Epstein had a section that was inconsistent with my notes and inconsistent with what I was trying to effectuate. I sent him a marked-up version of the draft, correcting that section, correcting one typo, and crossing out one word in another section that didn’t make sense to me, in context. I came in, today, to sign what I thought would be the final document. The problematic section had been partially revised, but it retained the word “neither,” where it should have said “either,” which was a meaningful difference. In addition, the one word I had crossed out in a different section had not been deleted. When I pointed those two items out to attorney Epstein, (which could have easily been addressed), he responded by telling me he was right and I was wrong, but that I should do whatever I wanted. When I asked him to explain, he told me the word I crossed out shouldn’t have been crossed out, because he meant for the reference to be there. When I tried to explain why I had crossed the word out, he reiterated that I was wrong, but should do whatever I wanted. I told him I was trying to understand and that it was unacceptable for him to just tell me that I’m wrong but to go ahead and do whatever I wanted. He told me he didn’t care what was unacceptable and that maybe I should take my will elsewhere to have it done. I told him I would. After today’s interaction, one thing I know, for certain, is that I came to the wrong place.

I only have experience with Bill Goseline, and I am shocked by his inability to deliver what he promises. Bill Goseline has yet to keep his word and produce documents requested of him, despite more than a month having past since he agreed to share them. Bill Goseline avoided answering me for nearly a year before that, and only responded when asked by a fellow attorney. He treated me like I didn't exist, and still can't keep his promise to a fellow counselor. I believe his conduct is in violation of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct. I do not know if the firm of Schumaker is aware of his defiance of repeated requests for documents, I only know of my communication with Bill. He has failed to fulfill his obligations in direct opposition to proper ethics, with no regard for the people he is impacting.

John Siciliano lied to me several times, saying he would help me get a refund because the situation was not normal. He proposed me to write a letter with my engagement (even though it was illegal and will deny it as always), only to later claim he never requested this ans refuse my engagement. He was saying contradictory things during our communication... He trusts his team, who lied to me multiple times and had no proof over my countless evidence. As always, they will deny and say it was not true or I didn't understand, despite my having all the proof.
I do not recommend working with this law firm: Shumaker. They are liars, the managers validate the lies of their team (even when they have no proof), and they don't answer to the clients. If I could give 0/5, I would. Please don't waste your money and go work with real professionals! They are the worst business I have ever worked with.

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.
