Randall possesses an innate ability to alleviate the apprehension that comes with legal consultation. His approach seamlessly combines accessibility with extensive expertise. His meticulous attention to detail and decisiveness not only streamline processes but also yield resolutions that are comprehensive and definitive, minimizing financial expenditures for his clients. Entrusting Randall with my business as well as my personal matters has been the best decision by far as he has since evolved into an invaluable confidant and advisor for my husband and I. Without hesitation, I extend my highest recommendation to the Cohen Law Firm, a bastion of unparalleled proficiency and integrity.

Randall is amazing. It can be intimidating to reach out to an attorney and Randall makes it easy. Not only that, he's thorough and decisive, which saves time and money since he solves issues the first time and for good. I engaged Randall for my business formation and he's continued to be a trusted advisor. I can highly recommend Cohen Law Firm.

I was cited for speeding. Given the difference between the speed limit and my alleged speed, I was not eligible for traffic school. The fine was almost $500. Additionally, since I would not be able to take traffic school, my insurance was in danger of a gigantic increase, potentially doubling! I sent Mr Roberts an email asking to learn about what he could do for me. My realistic hope was that he could just get my cited speed lowered so I could take traffic school. He promptly answered, and he formulated a plan. He appeared in court upon my behalf, I did not have to come in myself, saving me a great deal of time. While I'm sure every situation is unique, he was able to deliver far above what I had hoped: he was able to get the entire citation dismissed! In the end, the fee I paid him was less than the original fine, and I did not have to pay an increased insurance premium for potentially 3 years. Going with Mr Roberts saved me potentially thousands of dollars in insurance costs over 3 years, as well as the cost of traffic school. I hope to never need his services again, but if I do, he will be the one I contact!

After realizing I would quickly need to find legal representation, I was fortunate to stumble across Stephanie and the entire team at the Law Offices of Ronald Stitch. When I needed something right away, they were able to come through for me, and when I didn't understand certain aspects of the legal process, Stephanie took the time to explain everything and clearly answer any questions I had. Beyond their professionalism, everyone at Ronald Stitch showed a great deal of empathy and kindness towards me, and in the end, they ensured that I had a great outcome. I would highly recommend this law group!

One hopes that divorce, courts, pain... will never become part of his life. Unfortunately, it happened, and when it happened to me, I was completely unprepared for it. At that moment, I needed more than an attorney; I needed someone to help me. After interviewing Ronald Stich's office, I selected them based on my gut feeling—a feeling that I am dealing with honest, experienced team and someone who genuinely has my best interest in their mind. And I was absolutely correct. My divorce process was complicated and took four years due to the COVID-19 closures, overbooked and slow Los Angeles court house, and an extremely difficult ex-partner with the opposing attorney who tried every possible trick to extend the process, pain and cost. Thanks to Ronald Stich's exceptional team and their strategy, I was protected from all tricks, false representations, and manipulations. Ron, Stephanie, Sue, Candance, and Shaina were with me at every moment. They never sugar-coated their message or overpromised, but in the end, they over-delivered. More than that, they truly believed in my case and fought for me like it was their only one. During these long four years, they personally and humanly cared about myself and my well-being, and I can't thank them enough for that. For all those reasons, I highly recommend Ronald Stich's office.

Michael represented me about 10 years ago for a DUI. I got an email from him out of the blue, telling ne about expungement. He offered to clean my record. The fee was a bit higher than I thought it would be, but I trust him after speaking with him, I said yes. Thank God because he filed the paperwork the same day and a few weeks later my case was dismissed! Now and don't have to tell anyone about it when asked. Good for applying for new jobs and now I can refinance my home without getting a higher interest rate that they initially offered, when I answered yes to "have you ever been convicted of a crime?" Everyone should be able to start anew and Michael got the job done!

I hired Michael and his firm from a referral from my close friend who had DUI a few years ago and Michael had represented him. He was very informative and gave me a 20 minute consultation about how he works and his experience. That relieved a lot of my anxiety about my case as this was my first arrest for anything ever. Michael went to court and after about a month and 2 court dates, he had investigated my case for dismissal mistakes. Unfortunately I had none, but he had a great talk with the government lawyer and got my case reduced from a DUI to s speeding ticket! Yay,,,I just paid a reduced fine and that was it. No license loss nothin' I know I would not have gotten it on my own. Thank God for him.

He covered all avenues that needed to be covered. He stood by me with every question/answer that I had to give to the opposing attorney. Made sure to get all the necessary information needed to fight my case and then some. Will I refer him to someone that needs a great attorney, most definitely. I have referred him a few times already. Every time I hear someone say, I need an attorney, I hand them Paul Tashnizi number. Trust me, whoever hired him would be so pleased with the outcome.

She has the perfect combination of friendliness and assertiveness that has helped us in solving multiple complicated matters. Mary has helped us with complicated cases including: commercial real estate (lease negotiations), employee issues, issues related to multiple medical practices, contract disputes, equipment lease issues, and miscellaneous medical issues. One of Mary's many talents is to learn about a situation very quickly and come back with priceless advice. She is a star. I've recommended her to at least a dozen people in the past year. Of those that have taken my recommendation, they can't thank me enough. I personally can't thank her enough.

Mary Neifert was recommended by a friend to help in our challenging case involving a medical practice issue. She was a Godsend to us and was able to help us through our case and get exactly what we wanted. She has the ability to communicate well, get along with and work well with different lawyers even when they are on the other side. This is key---she is extremely knowledgeable as well and was able to stay on top of various different issues (ie real estate law, business transactions, etc) . I constantly refer her name to any one that requires any legal advice. Above all, she is ethical. Simply amazing. Thank you again.

Mary and her firm represented me in a case against a large bank. She was very candid throughout, explaining how the process would likely flow, potential outcomes, and costs. There was no overselling and it was not about maximizing fees for the firm; it was truly about doing what would be the most beneficial for the client (me) within my means. She did a tremendous job in serving my best interests, and in the end, achieved the outcome I had hoped to attain from the beginning within the initial range of potential legal fees. I would highly recommend her and her firm, and would use her services again if required.

I called his office and gave a brief statement to his secretary, and with in 15 minutes Mr. Sherman called me back, and I explained my situation, and he made an appointment to see me with in just a few days. We spent two hours reviewing my case, and from that point on Mr. Sherman proceeded to work his butt off for me.

All this while keeping us in the loop without adding any stress. I highly recommend him.

As a very active senior, getting back to my normal physical condition was very important. Prior to the therapy, I was unable to maintain balance and could not even walk up small hills. After finding great therapists and working with them for 6-8 months, I am able to do all the activities I was doing prior to the fall. I am so grateful to Ben Swanson for his compassionate concern and consistent follow-through. I absolutely recommend him - without reservation!

John was able to advise on all our options plus he gave his professional opinion as to what would he best for us.

I was immediately taken aback by how friendly and pleasant our interactions were over the phone/zoom with John and his secretary. John helped us confidently address complicated tax issues we didn’t know how to manage. We are relieved to have someone so friendly and knowledgeable to call on for advice. If you need help, call their office. He is quick to respond and get you the help you need. Friendly, efficient, professional.

Я не прошёл интервью с офицером и мой кейс был переведён в суд. Я думаю, это произошло из-за того, что я не смог выделить главного из большой информации в моей истории, которую я предоставил на 16 страницах. И плюс волнение. Я первый раз проходил такую процедуру в своей жизни. Опыта не было. Фирма, которую я выбрал, представляла меня в суде города Лос-Анджелес в течении 5,5 лет. Были переносы слушания (ковид, смены судей) но работа продолжалась всё это время. Было очень удобно, практически вся работа проходила онлайн и не требовала от меня постоянного присутствия в офисе, за всё время я приходил в офис два раза. Я нашёл эту фирму через интернет. Я написал свою краткую информацию, мне позвонил мой будущий адвокат, задал несколько важных вопросов по моей истории и после этого пригласил меня в офис, где при личной встречи мы обсудили всё подробнее и приняли решение работать вместе. Интуитивно я понял, что это моя фирма и что это мой адвокат и я не ошибся. Мой адвокат (Anna Tsibel) предложила мне очень удобный способ оплаты своих услуг, выделила главное из моей истории, настраивала меня только на победу, готовила психологически к финальному слушанию, мы собрали много дополнительной информации, и в итоге, адвокат составил очень убедительный кейс используя мою прошлую историю и новую, дополнительную информацию сегодняшнего дня. В итоге, 1 июля 2024 года, после суда (он шёл 1 час) я получил политическое убежище. Для меня получение политического убежища в США – это второй день рождения. Начинается жизнь (хотя она уже идёт с 9 июня 2017 года) в свободной стране, я считаю, что в лучшей стране мира ( мне есть с чем сравнивать) и моё счастье в этой стране теперь будет зависеть только от меня самого. Хочу выразить огромную благодарность Анне Цибель и всей её команде.

I had the privilege of working with Anna Tsibel during a crucial period in my life, navigating the complex landscape of immigration law. Before seeking her assistance, I faced significant challenges, including detention and an impending immigration court trial. Anna's expertise was instrumental from the outset. She not only helped me understand the intricate documentation required but also successfully guided me through each step, ultimately leading to the attainment of my green card. Choosing Anna Tsibel's firm was a decision backed by both personal recommendations and her reputation in the legal community. Her firm's commitment to excellence and client satisfaction, as evidenced by numerous positive reviews, solidified my choice. Working with Anna and her team was a seamless experience characterized by professionalism and meticulous attention to detail. Her ability to navigate the complexities of immigration law with clarity and efficiency was truly impressive. The entire process, which spanned from detention release to green card approval, was handled with utmost competence and dedication. In conclusion, my experience with Anna Tsibel and her firm was nothing short of exceptional. I am immensely grateful for her expertise and unwavering support throughout this journey. I would highly recommend Anna Tsibel to anyone seeking legal counsel in immigration matters. Her professionalism and commitment to achieving positive outcomes are second to none.

Thanks to the efforts of Anna and her team, our family received approval for our case already in June 2024. We are now in the process of applying for our Green Card. We express deep gratitude to Anna and the entire Ace Immigration team for their professionalism and efficiency. We confidently recommend them as high-level specialists capable of tackling even the most complex immigration issues.

My particular situation was an ongoing 3 year battle... Nick is not only a great lawyer but his compassion with his clients and dedication to his work is what sets him aside from the rest... I call him my Miracle Worker because in winning the bank, we were going to need a miracle.. It took 3 years and there was a lot of hard work and tears, no matter the day or time, Nick was available and if not Nick, his wonderful assistant Thuy was always very responsive. I had a lot of bad days and Nick always assured me he was doing everything he could and to trust in him and so I did and in the end it was all worth it.. Not only did Nick save my home by winning the unthinkable (the bank) but thru it all we've built a friendship. I'm not one to write reviews but in this particular circumstance, I felt compelled too, I want everyone to know, Nick is truly worth the review. Consider him, if ever needed...

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.
