Nicole is the absolute best option I could have chose. How she connected with me and my situation and how hard she fought for me was outstanding. I'm so lucky I chose her to be my lawyer. She was worth every penny and she got me the best possible outcome imo. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Nicole held the entire process in control. When I was freaked out she held me calm. She worked hard and made sure my best defense was presented. If you are in need of a very solid defense attorney I am not sure you will find better representation than Nicole Hankins.

Despite not being my attorney, Allison Drescher exceeded expectations in terms of her ethical conduct, honesty, professionalism, and genuine compassion. ☺️ She was non judgmental making me feel comfortable discussing my unique circumstances and charge!! In an attempt to address my situation, I sought the advice of another attorney in the community, paying for a consultation. Unfortunately, the recommendation provided was not viable in court due to the charges I faced. However, Allison Drescher went the extra mile by promptly informing me of this, preventing me from embarrassing myself in front of the Judge and Prosecutor!! I am immensely grateful for her actions and kindness!!! Allison is so wicked smart!!! it is worth noting that her expertise extends far beyond mere knowledge; she possesses an extraordinary blend of intelligence and kindness. 💕🌟

I recently had the pleasure of working with Andy Kottkamp and his team at Kottkamp, Yedinak & Esworthy for our estate planning needs, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. From the outset, Andy and his team exhibited a level of professionalism and expertise that immediately put my wife and me at ease. They guided us through the entire process with clarity and patience, ensuring we understood each step along the way. What could have been a daunting task turned into a breeze. They were approachable, responsive, and took the time to address all our questions and concerns. Not only did Andy Kottkamp and his team provide exceptional service, but the pricing for estate planning was also the best in the valley. They offer top-notch expertise without breaking the bank, making their services accessible to a wide range of clients. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone in need of estate planning services to visit Andy at Kottkamp, Yedinak & Esworthy. You won't be disappointed!

I retained Steve after getting stopped in Leavenworth for a DUI after a night at Oktoberfest and a weekend with friends. This was my second arrest for DUI after getting my previous one 5 years before. That one was dropped to a negligent originally but came back up due to this Arrest. Facing two DUIs and potential Jail time, Steve got this down to another negligent for me. His familiarity with the judge was paramount. I would hire Steve again.

He was recommended to me. So unfortunately I didn't do my research. But basically let the other lawyer walk all over him I ended up getting nothing I wanted in my divorce plus had to pay spousal support and she had a college degree. I do not have a college degree. So in my opinion he has no back bone or balls.

Great experience. Tony is priced fair, honest and no nonsense. I had just completed a messy 5 year divorce. A year later she was serving me with a hardship paperwork and wanted more child support. I paid for a consult from another family law attorney. This lawyer told me I was going to pay more. I assumed my child support would increase after reaching a settlement agreement only a year prior. This lawyer wanted to settle and talk the other party on the phone. After a referral from an employee, I consulted and retained Tony. Tony is very knowledgeable, communicates well and knows what he is doing. He is very honest and his staff is very friendly. In the end the petitioners child support would have decreased(if case would have continued) the petitioner dismissed the case herself after a couple hearings. Tony is a rock star and I would defiantly hire him again next time this happens or for any other family law matter.

I found him in the phone book, he advertised as a DUI lawyer. I was sick just had had a tooth pulled had a ear infection affecting my balance was on antibiotics, blew a .07 ...He tried but did a poor job and lost. DO NOT let him talk you out of a jury trial like he did me, huge mistake ... He doesn't ask the right questions during trials, doesn't bring up or question the evidence he should, is not at all aggressive he seemed more worried about being nice to everyone than winning what should have been a simple case to win.. A motion for reconsideration basically consisted of a nicely worded; please ,please your Honor won't you think about it again ... He didn't bring up or challenge anything ...He was a total waste of $ 5K never mind the money wasted on a appeal with a different lawyer, lost because of the things he didn't do in original trial ... He is a really nice guy but that is not what you need in a DUI lawyer ... Find yourself a pit bull not a friendly labador ...

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.
