I recently had the pleasure of working with Anna Hart during a challenging time in my life, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first meeting, Anna's professionalism and compassion were evident. She took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear guidance throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer my questions and provided reassurance when I needed it most. Her support went beyond just legal representation; she helped me regain my confidence during a difficult period in my life.
I am forever grateful for her guidance and support. Thank you, Anna, for helping me through this journey!

When my divorce was annulled after nearly a year with another law firm, I hired Anna Hart. Mrs Hart does not waste time with lengthy emails but instead gets right to the point, saving money in the process. She was well prepared and successfully fought for me in court preventing my divorce from moving out of state. Thanks to her efforts I was able to get a much more favorable outcome at an affordable cost. I highly recommend Hart Law.

I cannot speak highly enough about the work that JD Segers and Allen Sydnor did on my behalf. I am so fortunate to have been represented by them. They were tireless in their work to defend my case, leaving no stone unturned. Most importantly they were concerned about me as a person and navigated me through a difficult and uncertain time with great care, skill, and diligence, ultimately with a vindicating outcome. Thank you!!!

The team put together by John Isaac Southerland and Paul Malek handled my appeal after a very questionable ruling in my divorce. Exploring every available resource, their team provided a myriad of evidence adding to what my divorce court attorney had established, enabling them to mount a successful appeal. The resounding decision by the Alabama Appeals Court will reverberate throughout the state protecting countless veterans. They all have proven diligence, honor and integrity will prevail over money, power and lies.

Tara exceeded my expectations in winning my wife’s case. She did not charge us for every phone call or email. She worked with us to keep the cost down. Tara was aggressive and fought hard in the courtroom. At times she left opposing counsel speechless and even caused the judge to laugh when objecting to opposing counsel’s ridiculous attempts to slander my wife.
Tara got us everything we asked of her.
Thank you Tara.

Mr. Fernambucq and Mr. Dunn,
My name is Tabitha Edwards and I am coming with concerns of events that have recently happened with my previous Lawyer Caleb Faulkner who works at your firm concerning a case that I am in. I was originally referred to Mr. Dunn by Jim Holliman, who has been a dear patient and friend since 2012. When I called to schedule with you, Mr. Dunn, Caleb happened to be available that day and my case was emergent so that is why I hired him. When I first hired Caleb Faulkner at the beginning of August I handed over all evidence that I had meticulously collected. Included in this evidence was a physical recorder that contained 5 separate files of recordings of sensitive matter directly involving my case. These recordings could have potentially been additional shields for me in court. Prior to my hearing, my previous lawyer Caleb Faulkner asked me to meet him at your office at Boyd, Fernambucq & Dunn, P.C. while there, Caleb stated "Let me go get you're recorder, my assistant has had it listening to it and taking notes for me". Caleb then handed me the recorder that was enclosed in a zip lock bag. Caleb then stated "I want you to take this with you to court, I don't want it in my possession because I don't want to mess it up". Immediately in front of Caleb I took out the recorder and turned it on to find all 5 files on my recorder had been deleted. I immediately informed Caleb that the recorder was blank and all files were missing. Caleb put his hands in the air and stated " I have not touched that recorder once since it was delivered it was not me, my assistant is the only one who has had it because she was listening to it for me and taking notes". This was equally concerning because in the earlier hours before I arrived Caleb stated that I have more evidence concerning my case instead of the recordings - this leads me to believe I was being lied to because how would Caleb know if he has not taken the time to listen to them? Later in the week when I went to receive my mail, the assistant Kaylee Franks was at the office. I informed her about my recordings and how each file was separately deleted. I explained that there is not a delete button on this recorder and each file has to be deleted one by one. Kaylee stated that she only listened to my recordings on August 12th and she can 100 percent attest that she did not delete any files and after listening she turned the recorder off and has not used or listened to it since August 12th. Kaylee seemed flushed and in obvious distress. I told her not to worry, I am only asking because I am concerned that my evidence had been destroyed and I did not understand how it had happened and I wanted to let her know what Caleb had told me that she was the only person that has had it in her possession.
I have since retained a new attorney. I informed my new attorney what happened. She informed me that I need to report this immediately to the Alabama Bar and things seem questionable and if not careless with my evidence and property at the least. When I emailed Caleb informing him that I no longer require his services and would like my retainer fee back, he stated that he has used up my trust and there is no money back he can give. I am not currently worried about receiving my retainer fee back as I am concerned about why these things have happened to me. My property and evidence was destroyed and I am asking respectfully for someone to look into this incident and please help. Rather this happened on accident, it happened. I do not want this to happen to anyone else. I have tried to email you both separately, but I was nervous to be frank that it might get erased if I went through your website. This review is not reflective upon you or Mr. Fernambucq, but at this point I am fighting for the possible outcome of my life and I am trying to keep myself safe.
Sincerely,
Tabitha Edwards

My Boyd is without doubt the worst trial attorney I have ever met. He defines the term " let's settle this case". He does not follow requests that his client wants, but just wants to get off after he has charged you enough to fill his pockets. The other two attorneys are very professional. Don't ever trust Boyds' word, he will not keep it! He absolutely blew a case with me (thus the negativity), which has literally put me on the road to homelessness. I could not make this up.

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.
