Troy was a professional lawyer and nice man. Him and his staff were easy to communicate with, well put together and simplified anything that could have been or was an issue for me and my case. On top of the professional assistance was the fact that the fee for filing was bottom dollar. Hands down had no regrets and would choose Troy A. Berberick for my lawyer in the future pertaining any of the fields he covers.

Having never encountered such injury before, Tom's representation was essential. He is very knowledgable and provided guidance throughout the months of recovery then settlement and continues to provide information to us when requested.
Our questions were always answered in details we could understand and he updated us with information he received from the carrier. We felt as if we were all a "team"...with Tom as the coach!
Tom's assistant, Lynn, was valuable, also. She did not provide legal counsel, but answered questions within her realm.
My injury could have been worse physically and would have been much worse without Tom's representation. I was unable to deal with financial issues for several months and my wife needed legal guidance from someone who knows the "in's and out's" of insurance and medicare issues. We asked Tom to take over; my wife and I appreciate his guidance very much.

Tom, Ron, Carla, Lynn, and the rest of the firm are truly amazing and caring individuals. My case was a very long and drawn out case and through the whole process they were amazing and they explained everything to me for me to understand everything. They were always readily available if I had questions or concerns. I would recommend this firm to anyone!

The entire process has been themed by communication, explanation/education of the process and a sense of care regarding our case. So far, it appears details are being considered and brought to light to help with the success of the case as well. Guidance in regard to sources we can supply to have the best possible outcome for the case as well.

I don't give a lot of services 5 stars because, quite honestly, no one is perfect but, JEB nearly is! He is very personable (an admirable quality in an attorney), caring and knows his stuff. You are not just another case number with JEB, he is a good attorney and a good man - period. I would recommend him to anyone out there looking for a qualified lawyer who cares.

My family is a client of Bryan's. We were referred to Bryan by a friend and we are so glad that we were able to work with him. Bryan treats like a friend, not just a client. He has compassion and works with us to make sure we have everything taken care of. He well researched background information for the case and has explained things along every step of the way. He is detailed oriented, meticulous, methodical, comprehensive and thinks of things that we never would have thought of.

I hired this attorney for personal injury case after being referred to him by another law firm. He quickly responded to my phone call. He was very professional, took care to listen to my concerns, and explained the legal process to me since this was not anything I had been through before. I received a settlement that I was very happy with. I would highly recommend this attorney to others.

I really appreciate Kevin taking the time to give me a call and talk me through an issue I had with an insurance claim. It’s not his responsibility to explain things others would not; he gave me advice on how I could move forward. I felt like he was very knowledgeable on the matter, didn’t make me feel less than for not knowing the process. Thank you Kevin and Lynne!

Overall I am happy and satisfied with the services. The only reason I did 4 stars instead of 5 is most communication was completed by messaging, to which they did not answer my questions timely. I had to call the office or chat online to get answers, after waiting 2-3 days with no response. Not efficient in my mind. Other than that, everyone I spoke to and worked with, including the attorney, were helpful and pleasant.

Tom Lemon is by far a superior attorney. He’s honest, extremely intelligent and knows how to get things done. Mr. Lemon is very decisive and will ensure that as long as he understands the full story, he will do his best to represent you and your interests. I highly recommend Mr. Lemon or any of his other partners at this law firm.

Took about $6k of my money from August 2021 til I fired her in August 2022 because she neglected to tell me-amongst other things she didn't do-I had a hearing coming up. Told me at 4:30 on a Monday(when I went to pay her)that court for the next day(Tuesday)was cancelled. In reality-court was scheduled for that Wednesday. There was a Notice Of Hearing that she had forgotten to send me prior to that Monday. When she realized I was firing her-then she started sending me invoices with August dates on them showing that she had gone all the way back(in August)to May or June and billed me in August for emails she apparently just decided to go back and read as she had not billed me for these emails prior. How are you supposed to know what's going on with my case let alone inform me that I have a hearing coming up when you're not even reading any of the emails that I'm sending in a timely manner??? I had people telling me all spring to fire her for numerous things she was saying and/or doing that showed she had absolutely zero clue what was going on with my case-no matter how informed I kept her.
Oh but now she's turning me over to collections. When I've emailed her asking exactly what she did for my case-she can't give me a response other than to tell me she's turned me into collections.
Now let another attorney-that is also part of the good ol boys and girls system-come in and say that I'm trying to extort money from her.
Who is really extorting money from who???
UPDATE....March 2024.....since the review was written-things have continued to go downhill for the person I hired Ms. Berger to protect(a 2nd individual) One thing that has occurred is the 3rd individual(I hired Ms. Berger to offer protection from for the 2nd individual)the 3rd individual had a domestic abuse case regarding the individual I hired Ms. Berger to protect. However all this woman wants is her money.
So much for this woman looking out for domestic violence victims......

If I could give a lower review I would. They never answer the phone for you so you can make a payment and they won’t fix their payment portal so you can’t make a payment online. Don’t bother leaving a voicemail because they won’t call you back. Spoke to one representative and told them how difficult it is to get a payment placed and they said “We reserve our professionalism for our clients. Not the people who owe us money”. The money I owe them is from medical bills that were sent to them two months after my hospital visit even with making payments.

They will steal your money from your joint bank account, so they will take other people's money to pay for someone debit with no information sent to you prior to them doing it and when you call they will not answer or return calls. They are slimy attorneys that will do unethical things to get money

This company won't ever answer the phone and the voicemail hangs up on you. You can't even get ahold of somebody to resolve an issue. Garnishment has been paid but I can't move forward with my bank because they haven't signed off on their end. Don't know how these people look in the mirror everyday

Did well in court. Accomplished what we were after.
Office staff is very rude. Had a misunderstanding with one of the office personnel and I tried to call and explain the situation. Again, talked to very rude and told if I read what they sent me I wouldn’t be asking questions. I asked if this is common practice to treat your customers like that, response was yes. Asked who her supervisor is, response of no one. Ok so how do I make a complaint to your office? You can write a letter. Just down right rude. This was a 6 minute conversation.
3 minutes later Tom calls to tell me if I’m an ass don’t call his office. Claims he listened to the conversation the receptionist and I just had. Also claimed to listen to our previous conversation 2 weeks ago. LYING!!!! How can you listen to a 6 minute conversation in 3. Do yourself a favor and go another route.

Hired to work through my divorce , was recommended by my counselor. Awful experience with him. When meeting with him he was rude and talked over me. My concerns and issues that I had were not considered. I saw a large number of cases on his desk and he looked overworked. When working through my divorce he openly bashed me to my ex's attorney which my kids heard. He refused to defend me and discriminated against me until I could not take it any longer and left him. In desperation, I asked him to stop my ex from moving my kids to another county. He did absolutely nothing to stop her from moving my children from their residence. She continued to let her walk all over me and would not defend me, but he was very quick to charge additional fees and time against me. I got hammered on my maintenance agreement because I used him. I finally ended up getting another attorney elsewhere to defend me and left him. If you learn anything, DO NOT HIRE HIM. You are asking for trouble.

I contacted the receptionist and she failed to mention tthege consultantion fee, which on the internet ad, it lists Brenda does free consultations, thats false advertising. I was waiting and waiting for a reply from them when I decided to call, and thats when another lady told me receptionist was suppose to call me and let me know about the fee, which she obviously never did. The ad is false and they have bad communication.

My friend has been sitting in jail three weeks and Mariani is his court appointed lawyer. His first appearance was supposed to be two weeks ago. She stated the judge didn't see anyone and djdnt lower bond which the jail says is no bond. For DUI. And when I told her she said well he has court Sept 28th. That's 6 weeks sitting there. The courthouse at prairie band won't tell me anything they say contact lawyer. Why is he there and what's he charged with? And where is his bond paperwork she said his bond is 4500 yet jail says zero. Now she's going to be gone all week . Not adequate defense lawyer at all!!!!

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.
