Wally was amazing during the entire process. He is a very knowledgeable Attorney with tons of experience. His patience and attention to detail made us feel very comfortable about our case.

Wallace assisted me with a consumer claim involving a national sporting goods store and handled the case in a direct, professional, thoughtful and timely manner. He was communicative throughout the length of the case, providing updates on the progress and status of the case when necessary. Wallace has the best interest of his clients at heart and will do what it takes to ensure wrongs are made right and that all parties are satisfied. Before I engaged Wallace, the case was difficult and frustrating to manage, but when he came on board, he took action and had a plan for resolve. I'd highly recommend Wallace and will seek out his expertise in the future if the need arises.

Mr. Hammons represented me in my legal suit against a contractor who terminated work on an existing contract without any notification. The contractor was pre-paid for the majority of the contract and had completed only a portion of the work. The law suit was against the contractor's bond to recover pre-paid expenses for unfinished work and the expenses to repair the unfinished work that was damaging the property.
Mr. Hammons was very professional and personable to work with. He also was very efficient in preparing the legal documents to expedite closure of the case.

For over 45 years, I have been in Real Estate Development, Property Management, and Business Development. In these pursuits, I have consulted with countless lawyers. In fact, my business partner is a Lawyer. My business partner and I had an issue with one of our business developments and were forced to file suit. We chose Joe McGuinness to represent us. Joe went beyond settlement and was successful in litigating, enforcing, and collecting our judgment. Joe is pleasant, considerate, and professional. If you are looking for someone who will explore every avenue and win your case, I recommend Joe without hesitation.

Joe, Julia and the rest of the team have always been the most professional yet kind lawyers to work with. I've never felt like a question was too small with them and they have always been extremely accommodating to help me better understand any situation I've been in. When its time to make this type of phone call it always feels better when you have confidence in the people fighting for you and these guys FIGHT for you. I will always be a customer and will always recommend them.

I met Joe McGuinness in 1999, from that point in time Joe and his team have represented my organization on hundreds of construction claims. He/they won every case!!! The professionalism is unmatched. I am always impressed with their preparation and tenacity. Regarding their leader, Joe McGuinness, I consider him one of the finest human beings I have ever met. He is the example of integrity in business and life. When it comes to the courtroom he is a champion. I am thankful he was representing my organization.

Steven is an excellent lawyer. Not only did he handle my case professionally, he did it as fast as humanly possible. I know sometimes people get preoccupied with speed. But I know, if you're, good you're in demand. Fighting Worker's Comp cases are complicated at best, I don't want a lawyer who's trying to get thru my case to move to the next like fast food. Steven to his time, vetted the facts, and I'm happy with the results. "Good Work Isn't Fast, Fast Work Isn't Good" Thanks Steven for taking care of me, you're a real gem!!!!

When you don't know what your rights are, when you don't know what the laws say -it leaves you feeling powerless. Having an attorney's help gives you back that power. But finding one that's going to help is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I found a list of attorneys on a Google search and Mr Steven Harowitz was one of them. He answered the phone and I told him I had a few questions, could he help or direct me. I was expecting him to tell me that he thought I was someone else calling and that he didn't have any time. Instead, he was super kind and he answered my questions, specifically. His answers were well thought out. They made sense and they were helpful. Had I not called, I would have been ignorant of what my rights are and I wouldn't have known that what was bothering me happens to other people, regularly. Mr Harowitz even said to call back if I needed him again, which felt too good to be true. I called back and he was good for it.
He is an unexpected, pleasant surprise and I'm so glad that I found him. He's helpful and he's friendly.

I found Mr Faal through a friend who had been a previous client of his and recommended him to me. I couldn't have been more pleased. He seemed to care about my issues right of the bat and fast-tracked the process so that I could put everything behind me. I couldn't believe that a person who I had never met tried so hard to help me through a difficult time in my life. I am very grateful and would recomend him to any of my friends or family. Thank you Mr. Faal!!

I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Edgecumbe represent me on a peronal injury matter a few years back. Mr. Edgecumbe was so efficient in the way he handled my claim. It was a very stressful time and Mr. Edgecumbe and his staff took control and made me feel at ease. I never had to call and follow up to see where my claim was at. Mr. Edgecumbe always kept me informed and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend Mr. Edgecumbe. A wonderful person and an incredible attorney.

Personal injury attorneys can have a bad reputation as "ambulance chasers" and I certainly never thought I would EVER hire one. However, after my husband and I were involved in an automobile accident (other car at fault) we decided to hire the services of David Brown, which turned out to be a very wise decision. Mr. Brown explained the legal process up front. He did everything he said he would do and kept us informed along the way. It was effortless on our part. Our head-on car crash was an eye-opening experience. I'd always assumed we had plenty of insurance for such things, but having a great attorney in your corner makes all the difference. I would highly recommend David Brown and his firm. They are top-notch.

We hired Ron for a complex civil matter which included a breach of contract case and a construction defect matter. He was with us every step of the way. His advice was very sound. He helped us through some real difficult areas and we were able to prevail in no small part to his counsel and advice. Ron made himself available on evenings and weekends for cell phone calls. That was really helpful and I appreciate the personalized legal care he gave us. He is an excellent attorney.

I was blown away by the exceptional representation I received from Nicole S. in my child support case.
From the initial consultation, she demonstrated unwavering dedication expertise and compassion. She took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and provided me with clear legal guidance, considering the fact that, I live out of the state of California. Her presence around this issue was very impressive and the great ability to navigate complex legal matters. What sets Nicole apart, was her genuine concern, and the commitment to fight for me. I felt supported and empowered throughout the entire process.
If you are facing any child support case, I strongly recommend Nicole, her empathy, expertise and professionalism, are invaluable assets to a challenging situation. THANK YOU, NICOLE, FOR YOUR REPRESENTATION AND OUTSTANDING SUPPORT. God Bless D.MBU

our mid-sized agency has had the unfortunate experience of receiving early terminations after helping new manufacturers establish a significant base of distribution. Thru MANA we learned of Scott's firm and had the good fortune to work together on several cases, only one of which required actually filing a lawsuit, the others being settled much to our satisfaction and affordably. Highly recommend.

Scott Sanders of Sanders & Montalto contacted my law firm in approximately 2007 because he was suing a manufacturer that failed to pay substantial commissions to a sales rep from my state of Pennsylvania. Since the lawsuit was to be filed in Pennsylvania, we acted as local counsel and together with his firm obtained a settlement for our client. Since that time, I have also acted as co-counsel with Mr. Sanders on behalf of other sales reps on multiple occasions in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. All such cases were successfully resolved. Scott's knowledge of, and insight into, this area of law is invaluable for any sales rep. Scott is tenacious and creative. It has been my honor to serve with him in the efforts to obtain justice for our clients.

I have been a one-man sales rep operation over a long career. I wish that I had known Scott Sanders and his team earlier in my career. Since 2020 they have assisted me in an assortment of matters including when I was not paid commissions owed, and when I was compensated to help a U.S. manufacturer which was going out of business sell its production equipment to a manufacturer in Mexico. Sanders was as well-versed in Buy-Sell agreements with foreign corporations as he was in general sales commission disputes, which he quickly resolved and settled. We have a 100% success rate together in these matters, and the firm has contingent fees available to keep legal costs down. Overall, a win-win situation.

Initially I wanted to give 1 star, but ultimately, I am grateful that attorney Jason Stones was very responsive to me during a time of desperation, extreme stress, and panic- whereas my previous attorney kept me completely in the dark about everything- even as my child custody hearing rapidly approached. He was also able to get my ex's attorney to agree to a PPA with only days to spare until my trial commenced.
Now for the negatives:
During the initial hearing, my ex's attorney was making what felt like direct and personal attacks against me to which I felt didn't get enough pushback from Jason. I didn't feel like he was for me as hard as he should have been.
He also never made a reply declaration to my ex's reply.
My ex made several terrible allegations against me, which resulted in me being investigated by Social Services. Jason didn't do the work to speak with the social worker to find out what the conclusion of that investigation was, or obtain a copy of the report from that investigation. Luckily, I did, and the reports conclusions completely refuted my ex's allegations. After I read the report, I told Jason that we should be submitting this to the court. His response was that we couldn't do that because this was "not an evidentiary hearing."
For me, that was the last straw and I moved on to another law firm with attorney's that DID submit a reply declaration to my ex and DID submit the report from Social Services. I'm not sure how they were able to submit the report even though this was supposedly not an evidentiary hearing. Funnily enough, that very report was brought up repeatedly by the Judge as she admonished my ex for withholding my son from me and now, thanks to a different firm, I have had my visitation restored and joint custody established.

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.
