Michael Lento was referred to me from an acquaintance. I needed an attorney to direct me on some alimony issues that I could no longer handle myself. Michael was not only professional and kind, but on the ball, to the point and completed my case in more than a timely matter. I would definitely refer him to anyone looking for a great divorce attorney.
Thank you again,
M.C.

Attorney Cohen in my opinion is an excellent attorney. He uses his experience and extensive knowledge to get you through the legalities of the justice system . He is also very personable and down to earth professional. He puts you at ease every step of the way as he is always there to answer your calls and questions you might have pertaining to your case. And ultimately helps get you the outcome you deserve.
This was my experience with attorney Phillip Cohen. I would highly recommend him.

Kevin did a great job for us. We had a car accident case that had some unusual circumstances in it and Kevin was extremely attentive and dealt with all the issues very promptly and efficiently. He was very responsive to our inquiries and very prompt in getting back to us. He not only got us a fair settlement, but helped us with ideas of the most efficient ways to take the distribution. I would feel very comfortable recommending Kevin Riechelson.

Mark was essential in helping me understand all of the nuances and complex situations of my employment action situation. He was responsive and timely and was purposeful in making sure he was available at times that worked for me and followed up in the timeframes to which he committed. He took the time and effort to understand the context of my circumstance, the motivations involved and broke down, in simple form, what my options were. This clarity and understanding positioned me to make the decisions I needed to make. Mark is a skilled and talented professional and I certainly benefited from his knowledge and expertise.

My mother was assaulted and suffered from many incidents in a facility. We sued for 80k and my mom’s estate got 6k. What a joke!!!! I repeatedly had to call & follow up or else I would have been forgotten. The case lingered for two years and not enough attention was given to generate any type of reaction to opposing parties. It was more trouble than it was worth. My case was not taken care of well nor did my mother receive the proper compensation. Very unhappy with this firm. Maybe it was the lawyer I had but I’m definitely not going to applaud or refer this firm confidently.

Phil Anderson and his team were beyond excellent through the whole difficult process. Phil was very detailed about the process, answered any questions we had and what to expect during mediation. He was so very compassionate and understanding of myself and my sisters' feelings and what our mother endured, as well as our own emotions that we shared with him. He was extremely patient listening to us. I would 110% recommend Phil!

Kristy Bruce was recommended to me by a trusted friend who had successful dealings with her. I contracted with Mrs. Bruce during an extremely traumatic time, just after a car accident. She provided excellent advice and support from the first contact and throughout the case.
From referrals to doctors, therapist, and support sources; to allowing me to supply information in a way that was comfortable because I am not computer proficient; she provided solutions in every situation.
She went beyond being highly professional by adding a personal connective aspect. I felt totally confident, encouraged and reassured that she was the only and best person to represent me.
If I or anyone ever needs representation in any matter, Mrs. Bruce will be the only one I will recommend.

I hired Mr Schneider through the referral of a friend... I was contacted by local authorities with accusations of crimes (crimes I didn't commit). Maybe the police were harassing and just fishing for answers through random selection or maybe they had no ill intention and really thought I was the person they were looking for. However, I contacted Mr Schneider. He's a straight to the point no nonsense type of person. He accompanied me to the police station where I myself never had to speak to the police and they have never contacted me since that day. This was a few years back.
I definitely recommend him!!

When I felt like giving up, and thought it was over, Mr. Schneider came in at the right time. I had recieved a pamphlet from his firm, and saw the work he has done. I was pleasantly surprised in what type of cases he had worked on, and how many years of experience he has had as a lawyer. He supported me to the very end, and always gave me helpful advices even in the toughest of times. I would DEFINITELY recommend Mr. Schneider to anyone that is looking for a second chance!

Andrew Schneider was referred to us by one of his NJ colleagues. Our daughter was issued a citation by a PA police officer in a park adjacent to where she attends university. The charges seemed a bit harsh. Concerned the citation may affect future opportunity, we chose to ‘lawyer up’ and despute the charges. Mr Schneider asked what we hoped to realize for an outcome, and explained the strategy(s) he would take. He was extremely approachable and accessible throughout the process.

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.
