Richard Barron was recommended to us by a friend and we could not have picked a better attorney. He helped with our daughter’s estate after she passed away suddenly. Very understanding and knowledgeable. What was a very difficult time for us he minimized it as much as possible. He communicated in a way that we would understand and was very attentive. What could have taken 2-3 years of court dates and such ended in about 1 ½ years. With all that said I would recommend him (and have) to others.

This was my first experience with a lawyer and the Legal system as a whole. Richard Barron was highly communicative. Regardless on which way the case could go, Richard is attentive, straight forward and very supportive. Richard was successful in this case and much aware of how tuff this experience would be for me.

Took my accident case while 2 other lawyers declined and resulted in settling out of court. I started to sign papers and decided to hire her last minute because of her experience and reputation. The rear end accident was caused by a distracted driver. I would recommend her in a heart beat!

Tiffany was highly recommended to me from an acquaintance. In a time when everything is new and uncertain she and Amalia have both been very helpful. Tiffany really looks out for you and your best interests, even when you yourself might want to rush through something or give in too quickly just to get to the end result faster. I cannot say enough how happy I am that I had her representation.

In my opinion Horrible experience with Ryan I am really concerned for ryan he just blew up over the phone out of nowhere started shouting at me and making cocky and wild claims about what happened when I knew what happened because I was party to the conversation he wasn't there but wanted to tell me what happened. he talked over me the entire time and was condescending and extremely uncomfortable professionally and almost cussed at me 2x he caught himself mid swear. I don't know how this guy hasn't lost his bar license or been force Todo anger management. if he will just snap and get aggressive and angry to a random stranger over nothing what does he do behind closed doors with the people he's close to. I have seen other reviews on other sites and it seems that's this is not the first allegations of him snapping on people Google his name .

When I called for my INITIAL CONSULTATION, I found Ryan to be rude, aggressive and unprofessional. Whilst explaining the intricacies of my niche case, he continued to bark aggressively to "get to the point". Now, while consultation was to assist the students involved, I needed to get their accounts conveyed to him so he could understand the claims being made. Instead, due to his attitude, apathy and aggressiveness, I decided NOT to proceed with him. I would not recommend Ryan, their are plenty of experienced lawyers in Visalia, without anger issues and aggression.

Horrible Attorney very rude. David Minyard is nice when you first meet him, because he wants your money to retain him. Don't waste your money or time. Look at all his reviews. You tell him what you want and he doesn't do anything lazy attorney, no communication with his client. David Minyard has been an attorney for over 20 years pretty close to retirement. He is not trying to make a good name for himself anymore. When you are going through your divorce. It's already hard and stressful. Then to have to look for another attorney once you retain him. His customer service is awful. I came to a point that my kids are more important then for me to settle with David Minyard. I had to find another attorney. Remember attorney works for you. You want the best attorney go see Michael Weatherly in Visalia.

Paid for consultation, consisted of him requesting i printed and provided all initial paperwork next time paid for another consultation and brought prints of everything filed, he said he would review it and contact me....2 days before hearing i called to make sure he had a plan, was told to have consultation, paid a third time and asked what to do, how do we proceed to get ideally 50/50 joint custody? He informed me that he was declining to represent me....days before vital hearing, without time to seek other counsel...he SERIOUSLY wouldn't even give any hint to why, literally Said " hes not legally required to share why he declined" ....not a hint or a warning, nothing .i tried to file a statement with the court myself, categorically refuting the absured string of purely fictional, condemning and wholly unfounded demonization with documented and logical evidence as well as written letters of reference/testimony of all of our closest friend's and neighbors l.......i don't think the judge even looked at it, nor did the "impartial mediation" which felt like being interrogated by bad cop and same bad cop. To whom the judge just rubberstamped their ",suggestions" and deemed them orders.....made me pay him 3 times, left me thinking i had representation until i paid to doublecheck and learn i didn't, and was rude about telling me why he didnt HAVE to tell me why. Didnt even allude to it . And frankly was kinda a turd by acting annoyed that i was confused and requested clarification. Things like, why not represent? Why choose not to explain? Why not let me know in advance? Why took my money with zero attempt to contribute? What should i do myself to at least try......not a shred of advice, and in my opinion completely bereft of integrity.

Wouldn't let me give review with a rating of 0 stars! Worst conflict attorney! Does not do anything to fight for you, does not respond to messages or any other forms of contact, will discredit every suggestion or thought you try talking to him about, even lost important evidence video and made it clear he was not gonna do anything to recover it and would not request it because "it would be too time consuming and he didnt want to put another request in because that would be unprofessional to admit losing it " He even failed to show up for court and court had to reach out to him to then do his appearance thru video. Very lazy lawyer that won't put any effort into anything ...just tried to force you into taking whatever the court offers you.

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.
