I am extremely thankful to have found Krista Newton to guide me through my divorce. Divorce is such a challenging life change and Krista's calm demeanor helped me stay grounded. I felt heard and acknowledged.
Krista is easy to reach, I was very pleased with communication. When the process was taking longer than expected, she would reach out to let me know she was checking in with the Court for updates.
Krista helped me prepare for upcoming distress that was to come with drafting our separation agreement. She has a great deal of experience with divorce, and even though it doesn't minimize the pain, it was helpful to know what was to come.
Krista is very upfront with expected costs and reimbursed promptly remaining balance.
Tessa, her assistant is also very friendly and easy to talked to. Both make a great team that I was thankful to have near to deal with such a drastic life change.

John is an exceptional attorney who completely exceeded all of my expectations. He is very personable and was attentive to all of my emails, questions and concerns. He fought diligently for me and gave me the absolute best outcome possible in a court room. At no point did I feel like just another client. I had a fantastic experience with John and he would hands down be the very first attorney that I would recommend to anyone seeking counsel.

As my case has just been closed, I’m reminded of how homered I was to work with Chad Mooney! He was referred to me by another lawyer in town as being the best in his field. When you are injured by someone else’s negligence, it can feel very scary and hopeless. From the very first time I met with Chad, I had a peace come over me that this was the right person to fight for me! He works tirelessly in his pursuit for justice. He was able to get me a far higher settlement than I expected! I pray I never need his services again, but I tell everyone about him because you need the best in your corner in such a vulnerable time!!

I highly recommend Abrams Landau, Ltd if you’re filing for SS Disability. I filed on my own and was denied. I had Abrams Landau’s office to do my appeal.
They know the steps to take and give you the paperwork to provide to your doctors to have everything documented properly.
When it came time for my hearing, Mr. Landau was truly outstanding! Needless to say he won my case.
I will be forever grateful to him and his staff who were always so welcoming and very efficient in getting paperwork submitted.
I would give this law office 10 stars.

They don't handle the type of law that I require but didn't stop a very friendly woman from listening to my issues and giving me excellent advice on how the state BAR could help and what steps to take.

We as a family have been so pleased with the care, compassion, and overall service we received from Obenshain Law Group.

I had a wonderful experience with Chung and Press for the closing of my first house. They did both the title work and the closing. I was a little apprehensive going through the process without a realtor, but Joyce was available to chat and answer all of my questions. Their prices were extremely reasonable as well. I highly recommend Chung and Press and will definitely use them again if the need arises.

I never thought that I would be in the position where I would need a liability attorney. But, given the unfortunate situation that I was in, I was absolutely blessed to be introduced to Mr. Crist and have him as my lawyer. I did not know Mr. Crist before I hired him to represent me. To say that he fights for his client just doesn't do him the justice that he deserves. He was an absolute pit bull in making sure that I received everything that I was entitled to. He was never satisfied until every, and I mean EVERY stone was unearthed to ensure that he had done everything that could be done to satisfy my interest. He always kept me informed; I never felt that I was lost in terms of how things were going. If, I am ever in the predicament again that required Mr. Crist' services, he will be the first person that I call. Although my injuries are looking more and more like they will stay with me for the unforeseeable future, I am at peace in large part due to his representation..

I had Bill Bray and Hope Boyles handle the closing for our home sale, and I have to say that it could not have been any easier. They were upfront with the cost “very reasonable” and how things would proceed throughout the transaction. They stayed in touch via email and phone, where I was constantly updated on the progress. I highly recommend having Bray Law PLLC handle your home closings! Call Hope at extension #110, and you will not be disappointed.

I can't say enough good things about this law firm. Our experience working with Mike and Andrew was fantastic. When my wife was involved in a serious car accident a couple of years ago, we turned to Mike and Andrew to handle the case. I had known Andrew for quite some time and I knew he would take care of us. Mike was a complete professional and presented our case to the jury. Though this was one of the first cases of its kind in VA due to unusual circumstances, the outstanding job they did in the courtroom led to an overwhelming legal victory. Both Andrew and Mike are thorough in their research and fact finding, and are able to articulate a strong case in front of a jury. I highly recommend this law firm for your personal injury cases.

I had the unfortunate experience of being involved in a car accident where my vehicle was hit by a Fairfax police officer. To make matters worse, they denied responsibility, leaving me in a difficult situation. Thankfully, I found Salem Amare, who provided outstanding legal representation and support throughout the entire process.
From our first meeting, Salem Amare was empathetic and understanding of my concerns. She meticulously gathered evidence, built a strong case, and communicated with me regularly, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. Her knowledge of the law, particularly in cases involving police, was evident and gave me confidence that I was in capable hands.
Salem Amare was not only thorough but also relentless in pursuing justice on my behalf. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, we were able to overcome the challenges posed by the police’s denial and secure a favorable outcome. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend Salem Amare to anyone facing a similarly challenging situation.
Thanks to Salem’s hard work and compassion, I was able to win my case and receive the compensation I deserved. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate lawyer, especially in cases involving car accidents and interactions with the police.
Thank you, Salem Amare, for your exceptional service and your generous commitment to your clients!

I reached out to Scott Perry to help evaluate a potential medical malpractice case. I was extremely impressed with his amiability, the depth of his knowledge, and his responsiveness to my questions. I consulted with a number of lawyers on the case and, unlike most of the others who didn't know when the statute of limitations would apply or what legal actions to pursue, Scott quickly understood the facts of the case, knew the relevant statutes, and gave me sound advice. In fact, with his experience, he actually knew some of the doctors involved and was familiar with how the particular insurance group handles malpractice cases. Overall, I had a positive experience working with Scott and would recommend consulting with him.

As a colleague and fellow litigator of 10 plus years, I can vouch for each of the attorneys, and the staff members of this firm, as being exceptional and devoted to working hard for their clients. I have seen each of the attorneys in this firm in court on numerous occasions and I assure you they are always well prepared and their arguments are well received by the judges they are presenting to. They are a well respected firm amongst their peers, in the community and within the Virginia Bar as a whole.

I hired Mr. Michie to represent me in a case in traffic court and I definitely chose the right attorney. He was familiar with the court (in a small county outside of Charlottesville) and he gave me great advice prior to my court date and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. It is always worth it to hire an attorney and there are attorneys like Mr. Michie, who won't charge you an arm and a leg. His fee was reasonable and I liked that HE answers the phone at his office, so you get to speak with him one on one, right from the start. He's a really good attorney and I'd strongly recommend him to anyone in or around the Charlottesville area.

I hired Corey Martin to represent my son who was speeding on his way home to NJ from NC. I provided him with his retainer fee via credit card and all necessary documents he requested. My son's case was totally dismissed and only had to pay court fines. No appearance was necessary which was a big deal since he is military. I highly recommend Corey Martin! Look no further!

We hired Corey Martin to help us prepare a defense for a speeding ticket that could have significantly impacted our son's career. Young drivers can make mistakes. Corey's experience with the law and the court procedure helped us prepare in advance to present our case in the best possible light for consideration by the judge. A charge of reckless by speed was reduced to improper driving. Preparation in advance, accepting responsibility, showing remorse, and parental presence were the key factors in a good outcome. Precise language and crisp presentation is necessary as the court hears several hundred cases every day. Do not go to traffic court unprepared and without representation. It will cost more in insurance, fines, driving suspension, and career earnings damage. Hire Corey Martin right away, he will work with you for the best possible outcome.

My family and I have relied on Patrick T. Hand, attorney at law, since 2011, when we needed someone with the legal expertise to help us with a serious family probate matter. My severely schizophrenic sister suddenly stopped showing up for work – a job she’d had for 29 years. There was no way to communicate with her as she wouldn’t open the door or answer the phone. After four months, I became her court-appointed conservator in an emergency hearing to pay her bills and save her benefits, The judge tasked me with finding a legal guardian to look out for her since I live 3,000 miles away. Patrick T. Hand proved to not only be a knowledgeable attorney about probate division matters and mental health laws, but a good man in a storm – always there for my sister no matter how much she resisted his help through 14 hospitalizations, a missing car with multiple tickets, landlord and neighbor issues, an eviction, and now a stable and ideal living environment. If it were not for Patrick T. Hand’s expertise and fortitude, I’m quite certain my sister would be homeless.

Mark is one of the most proficient and calculated lawyers ever. Would say he doesn’t boast how efficient he is so I’ll speak for him. He fights tooth and nail for you and knows his work. Was referred to him from my personal lawyer and he’s worth every cent he requests. Almost like after he’s done you may feel you owe him more the way he represents you in the court no matter what evidence may or may not against you. Dismissal was my result. It’s rare you see a judge smile at how a defense attorney present and represent his client thru trial. Mr. Andrews is one of kind. You will not be disappointed!

Rakin Did a great job for us! I deal with insurance all of the time and thought it would be easy to deal with this event. It was a accident where a family member was hit by a car. They were fine after some time in the hospital and the driver was insured so it did not seem difficult! 4 weeks after the event I got Rakin contact information and he took over.
We just wanted the medical bills covered, if I had not contacted him I would have had to pay most of the bills due to the driver lo coverage limits.
I think he saved us 100k!

Curcio Law provided exceptional legal representation. I’m so glad that after finding the firm based on the satisfied client testimonials posted online, I now get to echo those positive experiences with one of my own. Rakin was incredibly patient, professional, and impressively strategic about how to proceed. He demonstrated a keen knowledge of the law and organizational savvy during each step. I’m grateful for his dedication and integrity throughout the process—he clearly explained the options and worked with me to achieve the best possible outcome for my case.

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.
