I had a dispute with my tenant and was having a hard time dealing with their ridiculous claims, constant threats and refusal to leave the property on lease expiration. Ben handled the case from start to finish smoothly, always being professional, attentive and responsive. I was amazed how quickly he picked up on the case details and was very reassuring in my first conversation with him. He was polite, firm and very objective/calm with the tenants. His thorough knowledge and prompt action was instrumental in making the tenants leaving the property on time and without any ongoing issues. It was my first time using a real estate lawyer and the experience was excellent and hassle free. Thank you Ben!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional work done by Esquire Falcon during my case. From the beginning, he demonstrated unmatched professionalism, deep knowledge of the law, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome. Esquire Falcon’s handling of my case was nothing short of masterful. The way he laid out the facts, countered opposing arguments, and delivered a compelling narrative was truly inspiring. Every detail was meticulously planned, and it was evident that he had left no stone unturned in preparing my case. Thanks to Mr. Falcon's expertise, the case was not only won but done so decisively. His ability to simplify complex legal terms and present them in a relatable, persuasive way made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. David Falcon to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated advocate. He turned one of the most challenging times of my life into a moment of justice and relief. For that, I will always be grateful." Stephanie McDiez.

Mr. Ackerman and his team were great to work with while settling my personal injury case. They were professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and always prompt to respond to any of my questions. Throughout the process, I felt I was in good hands. It was a relief to know someone with actual knowledge of these cases was paying attention to the details. Mr. Ackerman worked to make sure I received a fair and good settlement from my accident. I appreciated how clear he was explaining the details of the case, the process, and the settlement. I also have to give his paralegal, Zoe, a huge credit. She was absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for a better person to work with during this stressful, difficult time. If you are looking for a firm to help you with a personal injury case, I recommend Ackerman & Falcon.

Amazing, hard working, highly knowledgeable team. I hired them to issue a Green Card for my mother-in-law. During the process there were the problem with the incorrect documents issued by the other country and rejected by US visa center. Neither of the parties can give any guidance on how to proceed and the case was stuck for almost a year. Elizabeth and her team were with us all the time and researched different approaches and ways to move it from the dead point. We were ready to abandon all the hope after 2+ years of trying but eventually it worked out after multiple attempts and help from the lawyers. Many thanks!!!

Ben Ader and his team worked wonders! After the loss of my wife, my daughters student loan fell into default and a collection agency came after her. (my wife had co-signed her loans) I met with Ben and explained our situation. After he warned me there was zero guarantees, I hired him anyway. Benjamin Ader was able to negotiate with them, dropping our balance to a mere 40% of the balance that was due. His work went far above our expectations, and removed a huge burden for our family. I would highly recommend Benjamin Ader. I originally found Tate Bywater on a Youtube video on negotiating student loans.

My first law firm and a very fantastic one indeed. Before the court day, communication with the Paralegal, Alicia Orellana, was excellent in preparing for my court day. Alicia is professional and very responsive. Paul Mickelsen was my attorney for a reckless driving case. During court day, I was very nervous as this was my first reckless driving case, and while I was in the courtroom, Paul approached me a couple of times and told me not to worry and that he'll take care of me, which was very reassuring and calmed me down. Paul got my reckless case completely dismissed, and the result was much better than many cases I have seen in the courtroom, which did not have a lawyer. Thank you, Paul, Alicia, and the team of Tate Bywater.

I went out for the interview, and everything went very well. My visa was approved, and I'm back—just waiting for my green card to arrive. They guided me in the best possible way.

This is my opinion of Mr. Strong; Incompetent. I'd hired him to represent me on a slam dunk personnel injury case and ended up firing him after 2 years. At the time that I signed an agreement for representation, I was suffering from head trauma and did not understand that the retainer agreement he presented meant that if we settled or went to trial, he was entitled to 45%. He scribbled something over the agreement, saying "oh this isn't important" and when reviewed later by different attorney's they laughed, and pointed out that the scribble meant nothing. My experience and opinion of him, is that he is a person of dishonesty and unreliability. I'm happy I fired him, but unhappy with the time, resources and money lost because of him.

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:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. 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.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
