Hire Him!!! Jim is very professional, organized and a true fact finder. Now he’s not your therapist(which is for your best benefit), however he works extremely hard even after hours putting together the best presentation possible for your case. Jim helped me put out a very unnecessary fire storm created by my ex. As expected with any custody battle this was a very emotional time for me, however Jim didn’t allow me to feed into my emotions. Jim stuck to the facts and after nearly a year of costly mud slinging and irrelevant litigations brought on by the opposing counsel Jim got me exactly what I needed for me and my daughter.

I am very thankful that I chose The Rockefeller Law Firm to represent me in
in my child custody case. He was referred to me by other lawyers, which speaks volumes. Mr. Rockefeller is a No-nonsense, straight to the point and very professional attorney . Custody cases can be very stressful and emotional , but he will make sure he does not let your emotions cloud your judgment in decision making. He’s going to tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear and help you stay focused on the bigger picture. He’s not your therapist, but he’s a brilliant attorney who sticks to the facts that matter and have a legal basis, he will cut you off on the frivolous fluff that so many clients want to vent about, this will save you money in the end. He has earned my respect and exceeded my expectations in court.

Attorney Wilburn represented my sister and brother-in-law in a car accident case. From the moment they stepped into her office until she won the case for them, I was told nothing but good things about her. The entire time she worked on their case, my sister spoke so highly of her. She stated that she had never known an attorney who was as nice and caring as Attorney Wilburn. Not only was she relatable and down to earth, she was a shark of an Attorney who was very knowledgeable in her areas of expertise.

Monica was awesome in court. She handled our case to perfection. She kept us informed and fought hard for our best interests. We got much more out the case than what we expected. We owe her a lot. I have lived in Warner Robins for ten years. I’m convinced she is the best attorney in town.

Monica Wilburn is an awesome lawyer. She is extremely personable and extremely professional. I gave her my case when I was most stressed out, most concerned about my future and very concerned about my family. Her personal touch reassured me and gave me confidence during a critical time in my life. She got results that I never thought were possible. My financial future is secure because she is so good at what she does. In fact, I have referred two of my friends to her law practice. If you want a good lawyer, put your trust in Monica.

Excellent attorney. Settled my auto accident case for more than expected. I was able to dump everything in Ms. Grantham's lap and not deal with anything. She was highly skilled during the mediation and would not back down on what was important to me. Thank you Ms. Grantham for the great job that you did.

I have used Kathleen Grantham many times and she made me feel very comfortable when I had to take care of huge medical bills that I could not pay due to not having health insurance many years ago. It was a difficult time and she was wonderful. I would certainly recommend her as an attorney to anyone,

After 6 months of marriage both my husband and I realized what a mistake we had made. Several phone calls later to at least a dozen attorneys who wanted way too much money we called Kathy's office. Her staff was friendly and helpful, and Kathy was actually fun to be around. We were made comfortable through the whole process and we were able to correct our mistake for a reasonable amount of money. Thank you Kathy!

Steve Holloman and his team, Brook Beck and Hannah Ferrero have been amazing through a very lengthy and difficult divorce hearing. You are not treated like just another client but like family. They truly care and Mr. Holloman is a skilled attorney who does not know the meaning of quit, give up or lose. I can never repay them for the peace of mind, comfort or positive outcome. Love you guys!

Christine was absolutely the best. My divorce was messy (in my opinion) and drawn out by my ex, and yet I always knew I had Christine in my corner fighting for me and my best interests. A process that would've otherwise been the worst legal experience of my life was made so much easier and less stressful.
Specifically, Christine was prompt and timely with responding to all of my questions and requests, and always had an answer for whatever questions I posed. I couldn't recommend her services more.
She's also just a lovely person to communicate with, which in my opinion is the most important when dealing with drawn out legal issues. I'll definitely be using her in the future if I ever need legal representation again.

What an amazing experience that I will never ever forget. I will forever be grateful for our paths crossing. She handled my case timely and professionally while also managing to provide updates every step of the way, despite her busy schedule and high demand.
I would recommend her time and time again to anyone in need of a passionate and informed attorney.

From the time my case opened to the time it closed this office has been professional, passionate and extremely efficient. I felt as though my case mattered and was a priority, despite knowing she is in high demand and very busy.
She was able to easily explain any legal aspect of my case with care. She also took the time to explain each step so I knew exactly what to expect. It takes a special person to handle family law cases correctly and Christine Cruse is a very talented attorney. Her personality and professionalism is unmatched and is absolutely perfect for the field of family law.

Just called and asked to leave a message for Rabb Wilkerson to call me back .. asked several times the assistant Rebecca refused to do that !
She was very unprofessional. Leaving one star only because I could not leave a review if I didn’t leave one star ….
Rebecca was the name I was given .. she never said she was leaving a message for you to CALL ME .. I have never been to your office . Don’t know the real name of your assistant. Very Unprofessional Phone Call ! I stand by my review ..

I was charged with a serious felony, a crime I was falsely accused of. I was arrested without investigation, jailed for nine days, and then released on bond. It’s been close to three years now, and this nightmare still hasn’t ended. This law firm cost me $40,000 and made many empty promises. I was indicted by prosecutors who fabricated evidence, left me unemployed to this day, my 38 year professional medical career lost, my 401 K totally gone, and much more. I demanded constitutional speedy trials several times, and was told by this attorney that he had filed for it. Turned out he never did. He said he had communicated with prosecutors for me as I asked to either end my case and drop charges or go to trial. He never did. In the beginning, I was told my case would be over in six months. Then a year went by, another year,
And now it’s been almost three years, and not Kelly nor his partner have done anything to end my case. I eventually fired this law firm and hired other attorneys to get the job done. I honestly believe that I would’ve done much better with a public defender instead of this law firm who didn’t follow through with anything, with the exception of modifying my bond twice. I would not recommend Kelly Burk or this law firm to anyone, especially, if you’re charged with a serious crime. Like I said, many empty promises and nothing done. I demanded some of the retainer fee be returned to me, and again nothing was returned.

Kelly and Jeff are great attorneys. They will stop in the middle of a store to talk to people that have questions about certain laws and regulations. From Traffic Court to a murder trial they both have done it all successfully. More specifically, while it may seem simple to some, being a victim of a crime where my needs need to be met as well as the defendant's; Kelly Burke is there to make sure that I am represented in a fair and honorable manner. If restitution is due, I will be repaid my fair share. Kelly fights for the same and big companies. Just like mine.

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.
