The folks here are honestly just top-notch. They spent probably a cumulative 5-6 hours on the phone with me, as well as who knows how many hours off of the phone researching my case and gathering information. In the end, they were unable to help me with my case, and they told me so. The whole time, they never stopped working for me, knowing there was a chance they couldn't help -- they worked regardless. And then, at the end, they didn't charge me a dime. Not a penny. They weren't able to help me recover anything, and therefore, they did not charge me for what time they had already put in. I only spoke with a paralegal one time the entire time. The rest of my phone calls were with Troutman himself. I know with many named law offices, you deal with paralegals unless your case is big enough for the person whose name is on the door to look into it. Not so with Troutman. I will reiterate, this is the best experience I could have hoped for. Thanks a bunch to everyone at Troutman Law Firm.

He was just as personalble as he was when I listened to him on the radio show. I believe he truly cares about people and wants to help. He help me settle my lawsuit, and I am grateful to him.

I hired Mr. Littman to help me with a motorcycle case. Other attorneys who specialized in motorcycle cases told me I did not have a case and would not represent me. Mr. Littman took my case, fought hard for me and I received the policy limits on the case. Mr. Littman excels in communicating with his clients, working hard for his clients and getting phenomenal results for his clients. He is the best PI attorney in Orlando in my humble opinion.

I can't say enough about the Strecker Legal team. They were amazing. Their main office is in South Florida, but I dealt primarily with James in the Orlando office. He was fantastic. He was totally responsive to me and I felt comfortable asking him questions. He filed a motion and sent a letter to the State Attorney's office and the case was dismissed ! James made an appointment with me and we discussed my case face to face and I was much more comfortable with that. I would definitely use Strecker Legal again.

From what I can tell, criminal defense attorneys are all about making crazy promises and then disappearing once they have your money. James (JJ) always returned my calls and he explained what was going to happen at each step of the process. His fee agreement was fair and he charged me exactly what he said he was going to charge. He is worth much more than what I paid. I would absolutely recommend him. JJ and Strecker Legal are fantastic.

So it began a year ago when I hired Mrs White to take her on a case as to where a lighter caused my car to catch on fire... 8 months into her taking my case I could not get any information nothing was being done there was never an update I finally complained and the very next day I got a letter of declination... So after I received my email of declination I called Miss White and she tried to say that it was because there was not enough evidence and the story had changed which the story had never changed you cannot waiver from the truth. Miss White proceeded to say that she would continue to go after the manufacturer of the lighter company for the amount that he offered being $2,500 when there was clearly $7,100 worth of damage done to my car. So at this point it being too late for me to hire another attorney a year after the fact I was going to agree on yes please get the 2500 will ever since then I have been trying to get ahold of Mrs White via emailas well as phone I cannot get ahold of her and she does not call me back so where do I go from here if you ask me that's pretty lousy to do someone that was expecting you to fight for them but because you complain they resign from your case

She is my Guardian Angel. Seriously. She is so calm and helped me in a very hard time and just like she promised, she won my case like a Pro. Please don’t let the billboards fool you, Mrs. Tanya is one of the best lawyers you can ever find and this is coming from someone that has been dealing with more than 10-20 lawyers in past 5 years. She is so calm, professional, on point, doesn’t get distracted by nonsense, her calmness made me feel so comfortable because I had a very bad situation and she is not like other attorneys who are intimidating. I love her so much and I will make sure to always use her for Wills, trusts, whatever I need. By the way she is very fair with pricing and no words can describe her wisdom. Please don’t make the mistake of going with someone else. She is the real deal. No drama, she won the case like a Pro. Focused, determined to help people, very sweet and a gift to humanity. Words cannot describe her knowledge and wisdom!! Hire her. You wont regret it!!

Mr. Grossman is the worst attorney I have ever hired. He doesn’t communicate at all. He will not return emails, phone calls, or text messages.

A while back I hired Michael for a traffic(speeding) ticket. I hired him to get the points dismissed and so that I would only have to pay a fine. After meeting with him, he discussed this strategy with me that I had never heard of before. He said he had not argued this in front of a judge before but he felt confident in his argument. I agreed we should go for it! He seemed to be confident in his approach. Well, Michael got my ticket dismissed! I was SO happy and very grateful! Michael said the judge had no choice but to dismiss based on the legal argument he made. I was floored. Absolutely impressed. Michael is so creative and incredibly smart. He has a gift, that is for sure. I highly recommend Mr. Grossman and his firm, Cohen Grossman.

Tichiena Tucker was my attorney 2020-2021. At first she was nice, but afterwards she was very unpleasant to work with. I was already dealing with a lot at the time, she would always down talk me, always gave me an attitude or smart remark to something I said. She literally made me cry 2 times after speaking with her because of how misunderstood I felt. I’m a young mother & I would ask her advise, she guided me in the wrong direction.

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.
