I was in a really bad hit and run car accident June 6, 2023. I took my time to review plenty of attorneys before I found Boohoff Law. The reviews I read about them were unbelievailable. So I decided to call them. The very next day Michelle Pieller reached out to me and started working for me right away. Within days they found all my medical services & facilities I needed right away. Not only they found them right away but everyone of them were within 5 miles or less away from where I lived. As a matter of fact my very 1st service was within walking distance but of course I drove because of the car accident I was just involved in. Then they even went a step further and made sure not only were they close but all the facilities provided top notch service. They continued to stay in touch with me throughout this whole terrible process to make sure I was alright. Anytime I called or needed them their response was always right away and made sure all my needs and concerns were not only answered but met as well. Their service was so "GREAT" it felt like they were family. If you want and need the best of the best attorney I would highly recommend "BOOHOFF LAW". If I could give them a 100 star review I would but Qthe rating chart only goes to a 5 star. You can not and will not go wrong with choosing Boohoff Law. I guarantee it. Boohoo Law is the best of the best when it come car injury attorneys. Thanks for everything Boohoff Law. "YOU'RE THE BEST" 😃😃😃

Jocelyn and Linsey were the key players in helping complete my case when I was rear-ended. I was recommended them through word of mouth and I would definitely recommend them to others as well - the process was kept clear and they communicated the process very well with me. Knowing nothing about law or the lawsuit process, I’m glad I reached out to them as they were able to work with me to get me the help I needed (Physical therapy, MRI scans, etc.) to get me back healthy like before the accident occurred and maximized the return we were able to get out of the case. Super grateful!

Retained Mike to save my nephew and his career in Air Force. My Nephew had exceptional performance and commendations in Air Force for 15 years until he was injured overseas in line of duty. After his injury due to insurgents attacking his plane and explosion sending concrete hitting him in his chest fracturing his back. flight surgeon stated he likely just bruised his chest he was OK to proceed with mission. Upon his return to his base in WA he was having problems with his leg walking and pain. He went to medical they said he pulled a muscle gave him muscle relaxer. This went on for over a year until his leg gave out and he fell. He was taken by ambulance to hospital ER in excruciating pain in his spine where doctor advised his back was broken. It was determined his back was fractured in line if duty injury and over time in extreme pain and collapsing his back finally broke. A six hour surgery to repair and put a cage over the injured spine all this could have been avoided if he had had proper medical care at time of his injury. The ongoing pain from this injury my nephew was self medicating with alcohol his command told him to self report and he did and the campaign of harassment started. They immediately took away his responsibilities and his Stripe. Between the pain from his broken back and the harassment by his Command as well as humiliated at loss of his duties and stripe as he was pending going up for Master Sargent we were concerned at his drinking, depression , and he was placed on no less on 8 medications he should not of been on we feared he would take his life. I decided to get him an attorney to put a stop to this harassment that was unrelenting. By grace of God I was referred to Mike he took the case and immediately put a stop to the Command harassment. The battle was just beginning the command then wanted to Court marshal my nephew. Mike went before a Board and won case of the command harassment and improper procedures in treatment of my nephew. Then a new Commander took over took another stripe from my nephew and due to my nephews destroyed mental health and due to drinking was in liver failure locked him up in Brig for 6 months. Then proceeded with court Marshall. At this point my. Nephew was due to retire from military and was entitled to disability. Mike put up an excellent excellent defense at trial and my nephew was able to retire with general discharge snd collect his disability as he is not able to work due to his broken back. This was a long journey but Mike was there every step for my nephew and our family provided he always promptly answered our questions and concerns and checked on the well being of my nephew. His determination and knowledge of law is Extrodinary and his care as a human being for is clients and their families goes above and beyond. If you need an attorney you can't afford not to have Mike I am so thankful we had him. Cannot thank him enough for the great job he did and his integrity as a person as well as an attorney.

Attorney Terry Church was excellent in his managing of our auto accident claim. When one is injured in an accident it can be overwhelming to deal with all the treatment that is needed to recover and also deal with the insurance companies. Terry's expertise made the process so much more manageable, and it was a relief to know that we had the best attorney helping us. Terry and his staff make sure his clients are well taken care of in all regards, and you truly feel supported. He has years of experience, and it showed when dealing with the insurance company and settlement. I have only the highest praise for this law firm.

Title: Exceptional Legal Support I'm incredibly grateful for the amazing help I received from my attorney, Bryan Johnson, after my accidents. He and the office of Church, Rietzke, Johnson PLLC, were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring every step of the way. Bryan Johnson and the legal team handled my case with precision and dedication, making sure every detail was taken care of. He took the time to listen to my concerns, provided clear and concise explanations of the legal process, and consistently kept me informed and reassured throughout the entire journey. His negotiation skills with the insurance companies were impressive, and secured an outcome that exceeded my expectations. The kindness and support I received during this difficult time was invaluable to me. One of the most commendable aspects of working with Bryan was his unwavering commitment to my well-being. He not only served as a trusted legal advisor but also as a source of support and encouragement. I highly recommend Bryan Johnson and his exceptional legal expertise and compassion.

I was in a car accident in 2020 that left me with permanent injuries and a totaled car and Steve and Debby were my team from day one. They took care of everything and really let me focus on healing and managing my life instead of panicking about how to handle this new situation. They treated me with respect, kindness and worked their butts off for me and I will never have enough kind words to say or recommendations to give. I’m blown away by their professionalism and ability to walk me through these complicated matters.

Working with Khan Injury Law on my personal injury claim was an incredibly frustrating experience. For nearly two years, communication was almost nonexistent, and progress on my case was completely stagnant. Jennifer Puckett, the Senior Paralegal assigned to my case, never followed up with me—not once. I had to reach out to her every single time, and each interaction felt like pulling teeth. Whenever I contacted her, I was met with vague excuses and told that “nothing was happening” with my case. It became clear that they were either completely incompetent or outright dishonest about what was going on. After nearly two years of wasted time and constant frustration, I finally transferred my case to another law firm. The difference was immediate—the new firm acted quickly, communicated clearly, and resolved my case efficiently. If you value your time, peace of mind, and the outcome of your case, avoid Khan Injury Law. They failed me at every step, and Jennifer Puckett’s lack of initiative and professionalism made an already difficult experience even worse.

Spencer was careful to (as much as possible) keep us from having to dwell on our loss and relive the horrible days after my wife’s death.

I was struck by a car while walking in a marked cross walk with a favorable signal. I received a traumatic brain injury and was unconscious for a substantial period of time. With the help of a relative I retained the Swanson Gardner Meyers law firm, specifically Todd Gardner, to assist me during a very difficult time. The entire team of lawyers, together with paralegal Jennifer Holcomb, gave prompt and meticulous attention to the law and facts of my case. The team's discovery of relevant information created a seamless and dramatic picture of the evidence for presentation at a trial, if needed. Their hard and detailed work eliminated the need of a trial and caused the matter to be settled in mediation with an outstanding economic result. Bill

Thinking I had nothing to claim a friend referred me to Adler Giersch, specifically to Melissa Carter. After her intake coordinator spoke with me, she told me Melissa would be calling me to discuss further. Melissa talked to me at length about my case and made recommendations - telling me she wouldassist me step by step in dealing with the party at fault's insurance company. It was a process but the result was amazing! I could not believe it! I highly recommend Alder Giersch and Melissa Carter. They were professional and caring and I appreciated them greatly...any accident is profound in dealing with all the mess associated with it and their process was invaluable! Thank you! GR/Bellevue

I had never experienced a car accident this severe, so I wasn't sure what to expect when working with a lawyer. From the start, Melissa was incredibly warm and comforting, making it easy to talk to her. She explained each step clearly and guided me through the entire process. I really appreciated how often she checked in on my well-being; it added a personal touch I hadn't anticipated. Thanks to her expertise, the outcome exceeded my expectations. I can’t recommend Melissa enough—she's truly outstanding!

Unfortunately, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident January of 2020. I had attempted to resolve the claim with the other carrier, however my ongoing injuries and prognosis made it clear I would need help resolving my claim. We had reached the statute and needed to file suit. Melissa did a great job of explaining the process, preparing me for my deposition and later the mediation with the other carrier and setting clear expectations regarding settlement. I felt that she truly listened to my concerns and was advocating on my behalf, not just trying to get a case off her desk or get me to accept an offer I didn't feel was fair. She paid attention to the information I provided and knew my case when discussing it with me or the mediator. She exceeded my expectations when it came to settlement and resolution of my liens with my PIP carrier and health insurance. I would recommend Melissa to my family, friends, and/or anyone seeking legal representation. Should I have misfortune of being in another motor vehicle accident, I will be calling Melissa to advise.

In the summer of 2019, I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle. Fortunately, I do not remember the accident. The EMT’s put me into an induced coma at the scene of the accident and after a few days in the hospital I was brought out of the coma. After waking up, all I wanted to do was to get out of the hospital and back to work in a business I had just started. I felt that the aches and pains were just a distraction from the dedication I needed to make the business successful. My punctured lung, broken ribs, broken other bones, smashed in face, missing teeth, my body numb from the hips down, and a severe head injury with a hematoma could just be ignored. Maybe I was not thinking straight! My wife suggested that we should sit down with an attorney regarding the accident, and I reluctantly took a meeting with Paula McCandliss from Brett Law. I wasn’t keen on lawyers, and I did not put much effort into the meeting. My thoughts were that I’d quickly get over my bumps and bruises and Paula would be wasting her time with my case. Well, I was not thinking straight, and thank goodness for Paula putting up with my callousness. The physicians and hospital staff did a respectable job putting me back together, but it’s hard for them to determine the extent of the injuries, and of course the medical profession cannot get you back to 100%. After my discharge It took time for me and my primary physician et. al. to determine my ongoing care and what medical problems would be permanent. Let me say this- I was fortunate to have met Paula and her team at Brett Law. They were always personal, professional, and caring, and not to mention they worked tirelessly on my case. It was ‘my bad’ to assume that they were just a firm chasing an ambulance. To my ignorance, I didn’t perceive the onslaught of hospital and specialty physician invoices, the art of dealing with medical and auto insurance companies along with collection agencies on invoices that were never presented to me. Paula helped us get through all these unforeseen hurdles with kindness, legal insight, and experience. She is a great coach to lead you through the myriad of difficulties you may face after a painful accident, and I highly recommend her. You will appreciate both her legal skill and warm personality.

Being injured from an auto collision with an at-fault driver, their insurance company, and workers comp since it was during work seemed like a daunting and complex task. There are so many personal injury attorneys out there and only a few whom you can trust that's in your best interest. I did some extensive research online before choosing Colburn Law and I'm truly thankful I did. From start to finish, their attention to my case never wavered. I've dealt with a large law firm regarding business matters in the past and an individual firm for a past auto accident so I had some positive and negative experiences and reservations. Their professionalism, knowledge, availability, and promptness in response blew me away. Greg and Tina have the professionalism, and knowledge of a large expensive law firm but with more personalized attention and true dedication to get you the best settlement on your behalf. For example, my case was settled two years ago but due to the complexities of medical bills paid out by worker's comp and their slow response to negotiating a settlement, and finding any outstanding medical bills, was not an easy task. Even though my case was settled two years ago, Greg and Tina continued to work diligently on my behalf to get me the best medical settlement last week. Which attorneys will work on your behalf for two years after? I highly recommend Colburn Law to anyone in need of a trustworthy personal injury attorney.

I cannot speak highly enough of Attorney Greg Colburn and his team. From the moment I reached out to them for help with my personal injury cases, particularly the motor vehicle collision and trip-and-fall incidents, they have been nothing short of exceptional. Greg's diligence and honesty throughout the process were truly remarkable. Despite the complexities of my cases and the added challenges of my disability, he and his team were there for me every step of the way. Their attention to detail and unwavering commitment to my well-being made all the difference during a difficult time. What sets Greg Colburn apart is not only his legal expertise but also his genuine care and compassion for his clients. He and his team went above and beyond to ensure that I received the support and representation I needed, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. I also want to commend the entire team for their professionalism and dedication. Each member played a crucial role in the success of my cases, and their collective efforts did not go unnoticed. In conclusion, if you are in need of competent and compassionate legal representation, look no further than Attorney Greg Colburn and his team. Their commitment to justice and their clients is unparalleled, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Greg, for everything you've done for me.

Last year, I found myself in legal trouble due to a poor decision and unchecked mental health issues. Initially, I faced felony charges in superior court, and in a panic, I contacted multiple attorneys. What stood out about Brandon was that he took the time to review my case without pressuring me to hire him, offering an honest consultation on what he thought would happen. Other attorneys were more focused on securing my business, with one even suggesting I might face a lengthy prison term if I didn't hire them immediately. Fortunately, the County dropped the felony charge, but then the city filed charges. I reached out to Brandon, who agreed to represent me. Understanding my financial situation, he reduced his fees and offered a manageable payment plan. We also agreed that I should seek treatment for my mental health, and Brandon worked tirelessly with the court system to find a solution that accommodated both my needs and the court's requirements. Though the process took some time, Brandon successfully argued for a full dismissal, despite the court's initial hesitation. The city did not object, largely due to Brandon’s strong argument. I am deeply grateful to Brandon for making this experience as stress-free as possible. Even when I experienced panic attacks and anxiety before the hearing, Brandon reassured me with his confidence and competence. For anyone in a similar situation, I highly recommend Brandon. He takes the time to understand your case and will fight for 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.
