If you need to get a Visa, do not go see Ha. She Is unbelievably unequipped to do the job as she does not understand the process or even know the process. Her lack of communication and her aggressiveness is very concerning. She was more worried about getting her final payment. Even though she had never completed the job. Then she was actually giving sound advice. She has devastated and ruined our family due to her incompetence and misinformation and even when we reached out to try and bring this to light she is now replied to Email with lies saying things that are simply not true that we have proof of do not trust her

Rebecca Henderson is an awesome attorney. She was very thorough and explained the process completely. I have read some of the negative reviews and I don’t think they gave her a fair review. I went into the situation with patients knowing that the Government process works very slow and attorneys don’t have control of timelines. Rebecca Henderson is an attorney who stands behind her clients. She doesn’t fill you with fake promises and tells you like it is.

I went to Mr. Miller because he advertises that he hates insurance companies and is willing to do whatever is possible to make things right. I am here to tell you this is a false statement made by a horrible man. Mr. Miller and his "law team"..if you want to call them that, met with me and advised me to see their doctors. I was injured and stressed so I thought I will just do what the attorney says, I was a sheep, it is a cut and dry case I was rear ended and didn't think it would turn into what it has. In short I started with questions about my care, how long I was to continue going to Carefirst, when I might get actual medical care, and how much was it going to cost me. I NEVER GOT INFORMATION, about anything, from anyone. People at Carefirst refused to give me any information about my billing and Mr. Miller told me in our one meeting that "I would be surprised how numbers shrank as settlement approached". Mr. Miller in the one meeting we had treated me like an idiot who should not be asking questions and should be happy I was getting anything at all. My son was a passenger in the car when we were struck and per the instructions of a "law team member" I purchased a new carseat out of pocket.
I was told by this employee that I would be reimbursed no problem, her exact words were "they challenge us on a lot, but not child safety, its simple and should take about 10 days to get a reimbursement check". Once I finally ordered the carseat, and submitted for my refund, I never got it. I got bullied by another employee and eventually had to go directly to Mr. Miller for money. He instructed me that "It was hard for people who have money, to understand people who don't", and that he was advancing me the purchase price of the carseat until the settlement was final or the reimbursement check was sent. Shortly after this incident, after thanksgiving, I received a file and a letter stating that Mr. Miller was no longer representing me and he was not charging me for the "work, and efforts" he and his team had already done.
Also, that I should accept the money for the carseat as an early Christmas present and not worry about repaying him. Which in short meant his "team" never got the reimbursement check. I honestly don't know what work they did for me other than getting my car fixed at a location I specifically asked them not to. FINALLY the bills came...between my mother and I Mr. Miller racked up over $21,000 in medical at Carefirst and Texas Spine and joint, an out of network facility that his "team member" was supposed to check on before allowing my mother to have MRI's there. The bottom line is these two places are the doctors and hospitals Mr. Miller states in his commercials that he has access to. He sends people there because he is receiving kickbacks from the companies when settlements are made. Mr. Millers "team members" made the choice to file on my mothers personal medical insurance for the carefirst charges without her knowledge after they dropped us...something that they are not authorized to do because they are not medically licensed to do so. They did this because they wanted to ensure their Carefirst people got paid, as to not offend them and keep the relationship strong. At the end of the day my simple rear end collission that caused myself and my mother a lot of pain and anguish was turned into a catastrophe by Mr. Miller and his "law team". The level of unprofessional behavior at their office is astronomical. If you are accustomed to being treated like a stupid female, or enjoy being hung up on, yelled at, or spoken to as though you were beneath people, this is the place for you. Don't count on getting any money for your case from Mr. Miller. If you see him request that you see your own doctors, and use your insurance to pay them.

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.
