I live in Maryland and hired Bob for a legal issue. He made sure that I didn't need to fly out to California. He responds quickly to messages and truly cares about your case. Bob made sure I understood the options I had and made sure I knew what was going on at every step of the case. I highly recommend Bob and his team!!

Barry was kind, direct and reassuring. In my admittedly limited experience dealing with attorneys, that's not always the case. Barry took my call and gave me 15 minutes of his consultation time and asked nothing in return. Fortunately, it sounds like I won't need to retain his services but should that need arise, I'll certainly come right back.

I am beyond grateful for the incredible service provided by Rafayel Law Firm. From the moment we began working together, they consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, clarity, and precision. I always felt informed and reassured during every step of the legal process. Thanks to Rafayel’s Law Firm’s tireless efforts and commitment, we achieved a settlement that far surpassed what I could have hoped for. Their dedication and attention to detail were nothing short of remarkable. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, and it’s all thanks to their expertise and hard work. I will forever be thankful for Rafayel Law Firm’s guidance, support, and care throughout this journey.

I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional service and dedication provided by Rafayel and his team. I was in a car accident almost two years ago. I was hit by a semi-truck on the freeway and spun out. Needless to say, I saw my life flash before my eyes. I had originally hired another attorney and had to part ways 3 months before the statute of limitations, because I was doing all the work. I was beyond stressed and frustrated. Not knowing where to turn, I called Rafayel's office, and he took on my case hesitantly but gracefully and only due to the 3-month time frame to work and close on the case. Rafayel carefully explained the process and laid out a clear strategy for my case. To say that Rafayel was committed and dedicated to my case is an understatement! The work of this office is truly admirable. Within a couple of months, Rafayel skillfully and efficiently attained maximum compensation with his relentless ability and dedication to my case. Thank you, Rafayel, for the outstanding support and commitment! Rafayel is a phenomenal attorney; I highly recommend him!!

I couldn't be happier with the way my Lemon Law case was handled. From the start, Rafy was super hospitable and really easy to talk to, which made everything way less stressful. He always answered my calls,never ignored me once, and was always there to answer my questions, no matter how small. He was super professional too, especially when dealing with the other lawyers. You could tell he knew his stuff and had my back the whole time. He worked really hard to make sure I got the most money possible, and he was extremely helpful every step of the way. Honestly, I felt like I had a friend on my side who just happened to be a lawyer. Good to know there’s people who still care out there. 10/10 would recommend and definitely returning for any automotive law related matters!

I hired Hasidic a few months ago and it started off very good. He was very good at communicating at least when I would contact him. Sent me an email letting me know how much his law group would be demanding from my former employers and things seemed to be going great and afterwards, everything just stopped. I sent text messages requesting that if he could keep me updated with my case so that I won’t bother him that would be nice but of course that never happened. Time went by and I felt the need to reach out and find out what the status was and I didn’t hear anything, a month went by and after me texting and calling a good number of times to no reply and finally I called the main office to let them know I wanted to part my ways with them and that’s when he finally texted me to tell me he was on vacation and will review my case once he returned but could’ve told me that before leaving. Smh The lack of communication wasn’t there and overall just didn’t seem as professional as they should’ve been. I won’t say that can’t help others but definitely didn’t help me and I will never work with them again. I should’ve read other reviews being trying to work with them.

I was involved (starting in 2004) in a probate case with another lawyer. I spent the next 5 years trying to get him to be a lawyer. He was very incompetent and the experience was horrible. I needed someone to help me out of the mess the other lawyer created. And it was a mess and complicated by this time. I found Eric Gordon by a referral, and from that day my entire case began to look like something that We could resolve. Eric shared with me all the unethical actions of the other lawyer. Once he took on my case it all came together in MY favor. Eric walked with me through the legal system steps and all that he needed to do so that I always knew what was going on. Huge for me since the other lawyer was impossible to get return calls and emails from. Besides his total professionalism, Eric was available to me on every level. I felt watched out for and cared about as a real human being. He goes the extra mile to do what is necessary . A rare trait these days. Not only is the whole case finally behind me, I was also, with Erics help awarded a settlement!! If I ever need a lawyer again, I only wish It could be Eric Gordon.

Eric had a very "neutralizing" effect on a stressful situation. His expertise in the field of family law and his calm demeanor most likely kept me from being the lead story on the Eleven O'Clock News. His tenacity and extreme advocacy for his clients makes him a diamond in the rough. I highly recommend Eric Gordon.

By their very nature family disputes are disruptive and emotionally taxing. Eric Gordon has created a professional relationship built on trust and confidence as well as effectively and economically representing me in the resolution of custody and support issues. Mr. Gordon is extremely mindful of the long-term effects of marital dissolution and how the children and myself are affected. He has constructively advised me on countless preventive actions as well as applying a holistic approach to counseling me throughout this taxing process. Mr. Gordon has worked closely with my accountant and financial advisor. He has provided a depth of knowledge in all ancillary issues arising from the dissolution of my marriage, including the complicated division of income properties as well as navigating complex tax and estate planning consequences. We are going on a year and a half together through this process and it's not over yet. I am extremely grateful to have Eric Gordon on my team.

I was looking everywhere for a lawyer to handle my case to evict a tenant. Luckily, I found Sep! I drove 2 hours to meet him to consult my case, and it was well worth my time. We won the eviction and was able to get my property back all in one piece. That’s not all, he went above and beyond to help me claim money back from the insurance to cover the costs and repairs. I’m happy that I’ve found a lawyer that truly has my back. Definitely would recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney!

I was just looking at my peer reviews on Avvo and thought I have to do one for Sep. I'm an attorney and Sep is actually my attorney. He first contacted me to be an expert witness on a foreclosure matter and after many conversations with him I hired him to represent me on a case. So far, he's represented me on two matters, and while litigation is not pleasant for the participants (not sure if it's worse or better when you yourself are an attorney) it was always a relief knowing Sep was my attorney. When people hire me and leave my office saying they feel a weight lifted from their shoulders that is the highest compliment. That is what I can say about Sep; that is exactly how I feel when I retain him. When he is handling your matter, your mind can be at peace as long as you do what he asks and trust him.

He was clear and concise during our communication, organized, and on time. I was very fortunate to have found you! Thank you very much for all you have done.

I had the pleasure of having Mark Cunningham handle my lawsuit from start to finish. Its duration was about two years and I felt entirely calm and assured knowing the hands it was in. He was professional, efficient, understanding, and vigorous in defending my case and producing positive outcomes for me. With the utmost highest regard, I recommend Mark for any and all personal cases. His ability to litigate and do his job yet still support you as a human being makes the incredibly dreadful process of a lawsuit entirely tolerable. What an incredible, kind, patient human being.

I was involved in head on collision where I was injured. I completed a thorough search for an attorney, and I was looking for an attorney to represent me with trial experience. This law group has insurance defense experience, and they knew exactly how to deal with the insurance company. I was supported during my time to recovery, and the law firm took responsibility to assist me with settling my case. My case went to mediation, and I was represented well by MCIS lawyers. Thank you!

I was injured in a bad car accident. My friend referred me to Mr. Cunningham at MCIS Lawyers, because she was very happy with the outcome of her case. I met with Mark and after the initial interview process I decided to hire his firm. What impressed me more that he is a trial lawyer and new ins-and-outs of insurance companies as an ex insurance defense attorney. From the very first day his firm guided me through this difficult process to make it easy and flawless. They sent me to the best therapists and surgeons for my treatments. Thanks to those doctors, I made a great recovery. Office staff and attorneys always reached out to me to see how I’m doing and gave me case updates. At the end Mark got me a great settlement. I’m happy I took my friend’s advice and hired MCIS Lawyers. I would also highly recommend them to anyone who was seriously injured and needs a proper representation.

I was referred to this law group by another firm who thought their expertise would fit my cases. Upon looking at their website I found the areas of law that they allegedly represent people pretty much were spot on. I left information and an intake call was provided. It was on a friday and the lady said I had 15 minutes. I felt rushed. I told her I had a powerpoint presentation on my case. Which they didn’t ask about further. She ended the conversation with you’ll receive an email in 2-3 days seemed like a no already which it was, they gave me the standard don’t stop searching for a lawyer, and time limitations on filing cases. Their website says the following : “When we get a call from a prospective client, our first consideration is, “How can we help this person?” By being in practice for over 40 years, we have developed a strong network of attorneys- many of whom started their careers with our firm. We can reach out to provide the client with an attorney who can best meet their needs. This ensures you will not be turned away without resources.” In my situation they don’t practice what they preach.

I couldn’t say enough about the team at JML Law if I tried. Before finding them, I’d had my fill of many “lawyer types.” Rushed people who always seemed bothered to answer my questions as if I should already know the tiny technicalities of legal issues, what the risks were, how my odds looked. Everything changed when I met Katy Fund and her incredible team at JML Law. From day one, Katy treated me like an equal. Always patient and kind—and extremely tough—Katy never made me feel like a burden. Steeped in humanity and with a great sense of humor, Katy always told it like it was, and she always had my best interests at heart—until the very end. To the others on her team—Dina, Bryce, Marilyn—many thanks to you as well. And to Katy, Big SIs—I’ll never forget ya.

I had a horrible situation where the apartment manager of my complex used his financial means to coerce someone into committing perjury and submitting a false declaration against me to get a restraining order to kick me out of my building. The apt. mgr had hired a federal prosecutor and was out to ruin my life, but Fadi and his team would not back down and we ended up settling outside of court. Fadi cares about his clients and not only is he a shrewd lawyer, but he's also a good man and I will be forever grateful. I always refer him.

If you really want a direct, personal, and honest experience with a lawyer, Fadi Amer is the man to go to. I had complications with my insurance claim after I had gotten into a car accident. I ended up trying a few different attorneys before I ended up with Mr. Amer. From the very beginning, I was warmly welcomed to the firm (with lots of smiles and care), and was able to see Mr. Amer, not too long after my arrival. He had already looked into my case, and immediately started to go over it with me detail by detail, explaining everything along the way. In all honesty, what made him stand out was how upfront he was with the situation and at the same time I can really see that he is a caring person. Despite Mr. Amer's professionalism, he still made me feel very comfortable to the point where I felt as if I have known him for years. Also, what I really liked was the fact that he followed up with case almost immediately and constantly, making sure that all my questions were answered. Plus his first consultation is super cheap. Give him a call, I guarantee you that you find a lawyer that will be as helpful, professional, and caring as him.

I was involved in a very serious car accident which left me severly injured and left with a limp. I want and saw 3 other personal injury attorneys and just hated how pushy and salesmen like they were. Fadi was 180 degrees different and actually encouraged me to see other attorneys. Everything about my experience with Law22 was excellent, and the overall result of my case was more than I expected. As soonas Fadi took over my case I felt instantly relieved and I knew that they were going to take care of me. I highly recommend Mr. Amer!

I had hired Richard Spencer as an attorney for an accident case I had, which Richard had successfully litigated and won. I am writing this review not only because he had won my case, but because of his outstanding dedication and devotion that he has to his practice and knowledge of the law and his pheonominal skills of customer service. Richard really makes you (the client) the priority. The main thing that stood out for me and why I keep referring friends and family to Richard is that he really focuses on his clients. He always took the time to speak with me, as a matter of fact he still does. Richard gives you a sense of your taken care of, a "Guardian Angel" is working in your favor, someone you can count on. Richard Spencer is dedicated to his practice of law and towards his clients, I found him to be trustworthy, and most of all dependable. When you hire Richard Spencer be prepared for honesty. To this day, I keep sending him referrals because of the relationship he built between us. Richard Spencer is exceptional!

I hired Robert Adler, at the last minute, to represent me at trial against a collection agency. This agency sued me because I refused to pay for services that I did not want or ask for.  Mr. Adler took charge at the Mandatory Settlement Conference (“MSC”). Because of Mr. Adler’s persuasive meditation skills, the deal he made with the collection agency was fair, and I am more than satisfied with the result. Mr. Adler did not come cheap but he was totally worth it. I would use his expertise again, and I would definitely recommend him.

Robert, Mr. Adler is a wonderful attorney with decades of experience and knowledge. His wisdom and expertise guided me through a very complex and multi faceted real estate "issue". Having him as council made me feel I was completely protected which gave me piece of mind. Priceless period. I knock on wood that I was able to have the pleasure of him fighting for my legal rights and protections. I suppose it would be redundant to say that I highly recommend him. I do!! He's terrific and I wish I was as smart as him. If I was, I'd still go to him for council. I suggest if you have an issue or need your rights protected, he'll be a great champion for them.

Attorney Diana Diskin was exceptionally competent and was an indispensable source of knowledge. As a former Insurance professional, I've seen more than my share of situations where expert knowledge and support was often lacking in cases involving clients. Little did I know that I would be in the same position one day. Consequently, when it came time for my own case I soon discovered that the attorney one chooses determines whether one could find peace and confidence that the best representation possible found me in the hands of the BEST! I cannot write enough good things or think of enough superlatives to define my choice and resolution of my case and life.

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.
