I worked with Kathy over the course of a couple of months and during a time where my head was spinning a million miles a minute, she brought me back to focus and helped me through each step. She took charge, remained polite and professional, and constantly kept me in the loop with any updates made on my case. 11/10 would recommend to anyone!

Kathy Brown was an amazing attorney at a very difficult time in my life. She went above and beyond for me and my family, more than once. She always treated us with respect and was very upfront and honest with us. Had I not had her as an attorney I do believe the outcome would have been very different. I am so thankful that she was put in our path at that time in our lives.

I cannot recommend Attorney Paul Cranston highly enough! After my first car accident, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. From our first meeting, he made me feel at ease and took the time to explain every step of the legal process.
Cranston was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, gathering all necessary evidence and negotiating with the insurance company on my behalf. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations not only once but three times!!
I have been a returning client for years because beyond his expertise, I truly appreciated the compassion and support he provided throughout my case. Their team was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. If you're looking for a skilled and caring attorney, look no further than Attorney Paul Cranston.

Eric represented us in a medical malpractice case. We knew we had been screwed by a botched surgery which required a second surgery to fix but we had no idea how to proceed or how much to ask for. Eric told us how much he thought we could get and that was exactly what the hospital eventually settled for and ten times what they initially offered.

I was in need of some legal advice over a contract for selling puppies. I am not a wealthy person and was In desperate need of legal advice and had called a few different attorneys around and left messages and never received a call back from any. So today I got on line and was praying I got ahold of someone today. I called one number and Jeffrey Robinette answered the phone himself and was more then willing to speak to me. I told him My situation and what my concerns were and that I definitely didn’t have lots of money to hire an attorney but I was scared of the unknown and what lied ahead for my family and I, if I didn’t get some advice or a lawyer for my situation. He was more then willing to talk to me for a good while and give me advice on my situation and great advice at that. I would recommend him to anyone and will from here on out to anyone I hear say needs an attorney. He never once made me feel as if I was anything but a paying client or that my situation was any less important to him. Knowing that he is an attorney that gets payed a lot of money an hour for his services I was a little nervous about even calling but he made me feel welcomed and helped me more then he will ever know . Even told me to call him back for any help and advice I may need anytime ! AMAZING MAN In my Eyes and will be the first name out of my mouth for a lawyer to anyone from here on out. Thank you so much .

I met Michael Cary almost 3 years ago, and he has made such a huge impact on my life in so many ways. If you’re looking for an experienced, personable, and passionate lawyer then Michael is definitely your guy. I have had the pleasure of learning and interning under Michael, and he has inspired and pushed me to be my absolute best. I start law school this Fall, and Michael is a huge part of that. If you’re looking to learn about the legal field and chase your dreams like I did, he is always so eager to help young aspiring attorneys. He cares. He works hard. And he wants to win for you.

Brandon Shumaker is an excellent Attorney at Law!! He is just your ordinary, laid back, country kinda guy, but when he is in court, he commands the court room! He made us feel very at ease on our first meeting and we felt right away that we pick the right man to represent us. He kept us informed of the process as it went along, and always available for any questions we had. His criminal defense is top notch! Very knowledgeable in law. We will recommend him to all who ask. His retainer fee was very fair for the defense he provided us. Thank you Brandon Shumaker!

I faced an extremely lofty case. When I hired Mr. Isner, I was lost, confused, and scared. Mr. Isner navigated through it all and ultimately successfully defended me against false allegations. Even though at times I felt that nothing was being done, I clearly saw at the end that he was diligently working behind the scenes. He knows when to act and exactly what needs done!

Got hit by a drunk driver. I think God kept me from dying. While in the emergency room I instinctively asked my wife to call a lawyer. She contacted Andrew the next day.
I was in the hospital about two weeks and after that out of work a good bit.
My health insurance paid the bills, but they kindly told me that they expected to be paid back by the auto insurance and I was glad that Andrew was able to take care of that for me. About a year after the accident Andrew presented me with a rather large check, which made me quite happy.
If this kind of thing happens to you the most important thing to do is always get medical treatment and always follow the doctor’s instructions. Keep track of all the money and time you spend getting medical treatment and let Andrew know how you feel.
Overall, I’m very glad to have met Andrew and I’m grateful to my wife for choosing him

As a former attorney, I can attest that all attorneys are not equal. Don't take a chance on your personal injury attorney. Just go with the best. I couldn't have been happier with my experience with Eric Buckner during my recent accident case. The whole office is very professional and attentive. You don't have to worry about them calling you back or fighting for you. Because Mr. Buckner is willing to go to court, he will be able to get you the best settlement you can get. I highly recommend Eric Buckner.

I was in a car accident back in 2016 and had no idea what to do as I had a previous attorney out of state that represented me for the past 3 years with no results and I was lost, confused and frustrated with the whole process UNTIL Eric stepped in and after talking to him about it on the phone he brought me right into his office and talked to me about everything and eased my mind. The office staff is extremely friendly and helpful!! Eric always made sure I knew what was going on and up to day with any change in my case. He made sure he called me himself to explain any question I ever had or to be sure I understood the next steps. I would recommend this law firm to anyone!!! Eric Buckner is the best!! Fast and professional service!!! Just wanted to tell him and Tonia his paralegal and the rest of the staff thank you all for all your help!!

I would not hesitate to hire him again if I needed an attorney.

We had an issue with our local cemetary, involving my daughter's burial and the issues we faced. It was a horrible, awful thing to have to face after the death of a child, but Kevin was there for us. I cannot tell you how many times I cried in his office while our case was ongoing. He was tenacious, and finally victorious for us. I will never be able to adequately express my gratitude for his faith and forbearance. He believed in our cause and helped us get justice. I would recommend him highly!

Ron and host paralegal Danielle are the absolute best personal injury attorney in the area. Not only did they work their hardest on my case, they made sure I had the best care recovering and that I didn’t have to worry about anything during the process. Danielle was always available to call for updates on my recovery process or injury updates and in the end Ron was able to get the most he could for me and my upcoming future with my injuries. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results he provided. He knows what he’s doing and he won’t lie to you. He’s one of the good guys.

- Dedication, commitment, knowledgeable, perseverance, trustworthy, and kindness are just a few quality traits I would use to describe Attorney Ron Harmon. His great analytical skills and creativity assisted him in preparing thousands of pages of medical documentation for my case in just 2 1/2 months. He set a record in court by submitting the most supportive exhibits (90). The judge even commended him on his hard work and dedication. He goes above and beyond any expectations and genuinely cares about not only your case but about you as a person.
- Along with Attorney Harman, his legal team that consist of a Windy and Danielle, are also very knowledgeable, dedicated, and hardworking. Most matters requiring an attorney are already very stressful, however Attorney Harman and his team work together to win your case in a professional, calm and stress free environment.
I’d like to say thank you to Ron, Windy, Danielle for the outstanding job they did and to Sarah for being helpful and greeting you with a hello and a smile. I would also like to thank Attorney Mike Burke for his referrals and assistance in several matters over the last 18 years.
When in need for an attorney my recommendation would definitely be Ron Harman and team at Burke-Schultz-Harman & Jenkinson.
Sincerely
Rhonda

After my initial denial for social security disability, I did what most do, l googled lawyers specializing in social securit disability claims. I randomly picked Ronald Harman and, boy, did I get lucky. But, more so than lucky, choosing Mr. Harman was the best possible choice as my legal representation that I could have done.
I contacted the law office and within several hours, Mr. Harman himself returned my call. We just briefly discussed my need for a lawyer and he had his legal assistant, Windy schedule an appointment.
My initial meeting with Mr. Harman was extremely thorough. He, point blank, informed me that he would not take on my case if he thought he couldn't win it.
His legal knowledge of the Social Security Administration, in particular, the legal aspects of the disability insurance claims portion, was overwhelmingly spellbinding. From knowing the simplest issues of forms to the more critical issues of what is necessary from physicians, what type of Physicians in conjunction with my illnesses, etc. It was imperative to him that the flow of communication between myself and his office be fluent. I never hesitated to contact the office with any questions and was never not contacted in a timely fashion.
The more that we met, the more comfortable I felt with Mr. Harman.
Three weeks prior to my hearing he scheduled what he thought would be a critical examination with a physician, other than my own. And it ended up being significantly critical to my claims outcome.
That same week, we had our final meeting before my hearing. Afterwards, I felt extremely comfortable and ready for my hearing.
The morning of the hearing, he ask if there were going to be any surprises for him, did I have any last minute questions, did I feel comfortable, was I okay?
He had me so extensively prepared for the hearing, and I had no doubt that he was.
Entered the conference room, proceeded with all of the legal necessities, and then the judge offered that he was going to make an off the record fully favorable decision but for one question. Once he asked me the question, talked to the Vocational Expert and Mr Harman for a few minutes and then announced a bench decision of fully favorable. Mr. Harman had succeeded at what he had set out to do, win my claim.
There is so much information that I could address here, but I just wanted the public to know, first hand, from a client, that you cannot go wrong if you choose Mr. Harman as your legal representative for your Social Security disability insurance claim.

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.
