Kim, my attorney has been brilliant throughout the whole proceedings, which at times have been arduous. He worked incredibly hard to achieve a very positive outcome despite the fact that I live in London (UK). The company is very professional, knowledgeable, patient and understanding which enhanced my overall customer experience.

Don has represented not only me but my grandfather and aunt. The McKeever Law Firm is the only personal injury attorney my family will choose. He takes the time to answer questions in a way that someone with no knowledge of personal injury cases can understand and is always straightforward and transparent through the whole process. Mr.Mckeever shows compassion to his clients and is amazing at what he does!
I would recommend him to anyone and will never choose any other personal injury attorney represent me!
Don if you see this thank you for EVERYTHING!!! ❤️

To Mr. Bill and Team regarding my case aftermath:
I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart and helping me getting through a very rough time after my wreck.
The way you all handled my case with were patience, compassion, empathy, and attentiveness to all my needs, I can’t thank you enough. I felt nervous at first considering I’d never been through the experience but you made it smooth and easygoing and for someone lives miles away from family, you made a safe space.
I can’t thank you all enough for your time and I would recommend you a 10/10. If you need some help, PLEASE reach out to Bill and his team, you will not regret as I have not. If the situation arises, I know exactly who to call. Once again thank you all so much even when thank you just doesn’t even feel enough.

Mr. Tonelli represented me in a personal injury case where I was hit by an under-insured motorist. From the moment he took my case until the successful conclusion, he had a solid game plan, excellent communications, and was always one step ahead of the insurance company. Most of all, I always trusted his judgement which proved to be flawless at the end of the day. You can hire one of the big name TV lawyers but but you probably won't get the same level of personal service. Highest recommendations.

I am a client of Louiza's and she and her staff were amazing. I was told that I did not have a case before I found Lou. Lou understood my injury and was able to resolve my case swiftly. Lou was attentive, communicative, compassionate, and prepared me for each stage of my case. From the intake process to the resolution, Lou Law was professional and efficient. I am forever grateful that I found Lou! You will not regret retaining this attorney.

Louiza was confident in representing me and defending what I felt was justly owed to me due to negligence.
If you can advocate for yourself and get her the information needed, she can efficiently and effectively represent you and resolve your case in a timely manner. She was committed and determined like a lawyer should be. I can’t say enough great things about her and her staff about communication and reliability. Choose her first before going anywhere else. You won’t regret it!

I didn't think in a million years I would ever need an attorney, When an accident at work left me at the mercy of the Workers Compensation system I was lost in a sea of confusion. I contacted Mr Wayne Bilsky and he put me at ease from day one, I retained his services and finally got the proper care and surgery for my back. Mr Bilsky and his team were awesome in keeping me informed at each step and dealt with all of the Workers Compensation needs. I highly recommend Mr Bilsky and his team.
My wife and I are very pleased with the outcome of our case.

Marshall Adler was an excellent attorney in an odd situation. In the time of the pandemic, he was always reachable and professional - he always gave good advice and good guidance. I would, without hesitation, recommend him to family or friends, knowing they would have a knowledgeable attorney to take their situation to conclusion.

I found Mr Adler on AVVO and after reading nothing but 5 star reviews I contacted him about my case. He is very professional, no nonsense and got me results when a previous attorney did nothing in over a year's time. His reputation is well deserved and he was in contact with me every step of the way, quick to respond to questions and very direct with answers. I can say first hand that a client could have complete confidence in Mr Adler and his assistant Liz to fight for your rights, represent your case with integrity and compassion. By chance I spoke with a paralegal who knew Mr Adler and Liz from years ago, and couldn't say enough good things about them. She said I was truly in the best hands possible, and I can back that up. This is the attorney you want for your work comp case, bottom line you will be in the best hands in town. Thank you very much Marshall and Liz!

There is nobody else better qualified to handle school issues than Attorney Barber. This is his passion and purpose and it shows. He is the one and only guide you need should you face the nightmare of having to travel through The OCPS minefield of all-too-often-arbitrary justice. If you find yourself, like me, lucky enough to never have needed legal representation before — don’t take a chance on some random attorney you find on Google. We were referred to him by two outstanding attorneys and he did an outstanding job in a very short amount of time. Honest, straight forward, responsive—- things you assume would describe any attorney, but actually hard to find. He cares and becomes quickly invested in getting Justice for your child.

Michael first of is humble, respectful and delivered a true customer service approach. Our family had a school board involved hearing involving a bad decision our child made. Michael took our case on short notice, mind you recommended by the firm I initially hired. He was presented to us as THE BEST around in this area of defence. Truth be told we feel that he is. In addition to that his local ties and network makes him invaluable as an attorney. In our case I believe his preparation with us though it was short, it was on point. That alone was worth the retainer fee. We followed his direction and everything he said was going to happen, did. It was as it was scripted... Why does this matter? It shows the level of experience M. Barber has. If your child ever encounters a school disciplinary issue PLEASE CALL MICHAEL BARBER!

Words can’t describe how happy/ thrilled I am with the outcome of my case. Because of past experiences I will admit I wasn’t the easiest client to work with, but Doug and his paralegal Amy treated me like a king. They answered all of my questions in a very timely manner and kept me in the loop through the entire process.
If you need a Workers Compensation attorney, don’t hesitate to retain Mr. Bond. Not only will Doug and Amy meet your expectations, they will exceed them!!!!

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to Matt for your great work and patients with me during this process.
I was rear-ended while sitting at a stop light at about 45 miles per hour and injuryed my back.
Matt helped me right from the start with getting the damage for my car taken care of and then directing me in what I needed to do for my physical injuries. He made it simple and understandable to follow and encouraged me to stay patient on those days the pain was unbearable and I just needed to complain to someone beside my wife. If he wasn't immediately available, he would always return a call or shot me an email with an update. Together we were able to get a settlement that we both felt was more than fair.
I can not say enough about Matt's professionalism and most important his true compassion. Thank You Again.

He was an awesome guy to meet, very down to earth and an easy guy to work with .

I hired Brett to handle two high end auto accident cases for me over a 24 month period. A 2015 Mercedes CLS and an Audi 2015 A7. Both handled well and professionally. He is very adept at diminished value claims in addition to representation. You get to talk to him directly instead of para legals and admin assistance. I appreciate that very much. He was recommended to me by one of the largest law firms in Orlando. If you have high end autos, I recommend Brett to assist you.

Brett Bressler just handled the diminished value claim on my 4 month old Acura TSX which was t-boned on the right passenger side. He came highly recommended by the body shop that repaired my car. Not really knowing much about diminished value, however, I figured the process would take months. Not so! After a quick damage analysis and appraisal, he submitted a demand letter to the counterparty's insurance and obtained the full amount demanded within 2-3 weeks. Brett also kept me fully informed at every step of the process. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need.

Steve undoubtedly lives up to his reputation as an AV Preeminent rated attorney, which is proven by his results. Not only did Steve provide superb legal representation, he went out of his way to show that he truly cared about my medical conditions and my well-being. By not choosing Steve's law firm, Kirschner & Konicek, you would be putting your best interests at risk. Highly recommend Steve and his firm.

Andrew Irvin represented me in a medical malpractice claim that settled fairly and out of court. This was my first experience with any type of law suit and I had many questions, concerns and misgivings. One of Andrew's first recommendations was to apply for an extension on the 2 year statute of limitations. I didn't realize this was even possible. From there he handled all paperwork and communications with the other law firm. Perhaps I most appreciated his effective communications. I felt up to date with all aspects of the case. Andrew made sure that he knew my feelings and priorities and represented them well. His advice and leadership is greatly appreciated! I would strongly recommend anyone with a potential personal injury case talk to Andrew when interviewing potential lawyers. The representation he provided was beyond my expectations and received results.

Andrew Irvin helped me navigate two diminished value claims where I had no idea what to do. I was about to quit when he helped me take on some big name insurance companies and was patient with me every step of the way. He took time to explain what was happening and what my options were. He made sure things were made right and I was made whole.

From the moment I first met with Chris, I knew he was the right lawyer to take my case. He was sensitive to the situation, and was very easy to work with. He always kept me informed every step of the way and he fought for me, when I felt like no one else would. I would recommend Chris to anyone who wants their case handled by someone who truly cares about the person involved as opposed your case number. He would even go out of his way to make the time commitments it involved convenient for my schedule. Anytime I had a question for Chris, I had a response within hours if not minutes. It is great to have a lawyer that really is dedicated to quality.

During the time of loss due to injury caused by the negligence of others--the process of finding the best advocate can be an overwhelming and daunting task for those seeking justice for their loved one. With tragedy, this task seems almost unfair that one would have to go through this on top of everything else. I thank God that friends of mine who are also lawyers pointed me to the Maher Law Firm for help. Honest, Integrity, thoroughness, professionalism, expert, care and understanding are just a few of the adjectives to describe Steve and his team. They will get at the truth and deliver victory in holding those responsible to the consequences of their actions. For me, there is none better than Steve Maher. I highly recommend him.

I have known Steve Maher for 4 years. He represented my company in a very difficult Intellectual Property case in the Federal District Court - Orlando Division. Steve prepared vigorously for all eventualities. The Jury Trial lasted 6 weeks, he was excellent in Direct examination as well as Cross examination. Steve delivered a brilliant closing argument that resulted in a Jury Award of $25,000,000.00 Steve a is a very articulate, personable individual who makes every effort to understand the case and find brilliant answers. Steve has also represented my company in general corporate issues. I would recommend Steve in the strongest possible terms for anyone who wants a winning lawyer on their side on any legal issues. He is tireless when it comes to representing a client.

Steve Maher is compassionate and caring. He is a winner in every sense of the word. He is like a pit bull when fighting and will not give up or rest until justice is served. If given the choice, there is not another person I would want advocating for me or my family. Any defense tactics or attempts to not take responsibility for a wrong doing will be met with integrity and power probably not bargained for. Steve has the most incredible team and resources and ability. You can count on him to use the latest in technology and every tool available and every tactic to fight for you.

He kept me informed and he worked hard for me. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a bright and humble attorney who always made me feel that I was a long time friend and not just a client.

My case was complicated and AJ did a great job in figuring out how to win. No one believed me when I told them what happened, but AJ did. He went out of his way to find a video from a business next door that supported my claim and got me the evidence I needed to succeed. I don't trust lawyers, but AJ was someone who listened to me, someone who told me how it is when we looked bad, and when we had a break in the case. This one on one attention made me feel that he really does want to help people and not just make a pay check. HIRE HIM if you want someone on your side.

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.
