This was my first time needing a lawyer, and I was facing multiple charges from various courts, including a misdemeanor of the first degree. I was anxious and felt like my life was falling apart over something that seemed minor and foolish. I reached out to several law firms, but none made me feel as comfortable as the Banks Law Firm did. Other firms made me feel foolish for sharing my situation, but Banks Law Firm simply listened and assured me they could handle it. Attorney Banks was excellent at explaining everything and ensuring I understood the process. Charmaine was also very helpful, answering any questions I had for Attorney Banks.

I recently hired Attorney Banks for a legal case, and I am thoroughly impressed with his services. His professionalism and meticulous attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain every step of the legal journey clearly, which made the experience much less daunting. Attorney Banks was consistently available whenever we needed his advice, demonstrating a genuine commitment to our case. Additionally, his fee structure was transparent and straightforward, and he executed the agreed-upon plan flawlessly. I highly recommend Attorney Banks for anyone seeking a dedicated and reliable attorney.

I interviewed many criminal attorneys prior to hiring the Banks law group. There is a sense of profound knowledge to the field and genuine compassion. I deeply worried about my case because I'm a health care professional and the two criminal case will prompt me to lose my health care professional license that I studied and worked for many years.... On top of the maximum years of imprisonment if ever. Well, we won the case. I highly endorse the Banks law group, the team and staff are exceptional. With their unsurpassed expertise, you'll have a better future. Attorney Matthew Banks had given me another life.

When fishing for lawyers on AVVO, Ms. Gray instantly stood out. I didn't look at her credentials, or years of experience, or what have you when it came to choosing her. I based my decision purely from how she was honest on about why she was late responding to my inquiry. Reason being it was some family matter, and I felt that was just really...and unnecessarily...honest. I felt that she could have given me any reason, she could have said it was because of work, or saving a bus full of children. But it was just...honest and from there she has been nothing but honest.
Not only that, she is very responsive and the phone conversations that we have, she makes me feel like I'm a person and I'm just having a conversation with another human. Sometimes I hear the dishes in the background, the fridge opening, her sitting something down, the echo of my voice through a car speaker, versus feeling like another number in some office.
Her professionalism is outstanding. If there is something she can do to help you with your case, consider it already done. I hired Ms. Gray and immediately she went to speak to the opposing attorney on my behalf. She is honest and upfront about what to expect during a trial, the do's and dont's, and how to present yourself in a trial.
I could keep going, but at this point, if you haven't decided you want a lawyer who cares, then why are you still here? Go be just another number to some other attorney.
10/10 will rehire.

I called Robin from overseas to ask about a very difficult, complex immigration case. She took her time and answered all my questions. We stayed on the phone for a long time and never once did she rush me or try to “hustle” me. I felt comfortable and calm with her and just for giving me her time and attention I will absolutely hire her as my attorney when its time. I need someone I can talk to without being scared, nervous or feel like I’m bothering someone. This is my life and my future at risk so it’s very important for me to have someone who understands that.

Thad represented me when I sustained serious injuries in a motor vehicle crash in October 2022. He and his team provided my family with a peace of mind by communicating directly with the insurance companies during this stressful period and ensured that I received a fair settlement. Thad is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I highly recommended his services.

Thad was the best attorney for me. He was kind, very informative, patient,and most of all honest. He led me through my case kept me informed of everything that was happening and going to happen. When it came down to my mediation hearing he walked me through it and helped me make the best decision for myself. After all was said and done he still helped me and stayed in touch. I highly recommend Thad and his team to anyone. Thad was always professional and compassionate to me and my injuries. Thank you Thad for all that you have done for me.

Thad is extremely intelligent. My family and I were not familiar with the process in civil court matters. Thad walked us through it upon our first visit several months ago. He immediately put our minds at ease. When we walked out of his office after our initial visit, we immediately knew that we were in good hands. Thad stays on top of the entire lengthy process and gives updates as to what to expect. Thad is an excellent lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone. I slept better at night knowing I was represented by Thad.

I spoke to Mr. Hoffman in a consultation, unprepared and unpaid and yet it was utterly simple to get through to him twice and speak in details and care that even my current paid lawyer and other lawyers (with paid consultation) never showed! He showed extensive experience, genuinely caring attitude and even when he couldn't take my case for reasons pertaining to his current work and a possible conflict he gave me a very candid advise and a potential road map to follow! Where on earth do you find something like that? Most lawyers drain you emotionally and financially before turning you from a human into a case in their files and a number in their bank accounts, I understand it's a business and living to these lawyers so I never judge them on that but I would at least expect honesty to what they or their experience can do for me and the very minimal of care for myself and my family, nothing more (God forbid I ask for a bulldog in the courtroom that's like finding a unicorn!)
Mr. Hoffman doesn't advertise or run flashy marketing campaigns like other lawyers do so I was only able to find him throw a word of mouth, and how I wished I could retain him! He is a gem.

Had Chris still been with Rowe Law offices, I know we would have won my case and custody of my children. Not only did Rowe not inform me that Chris had left the practice, they waited until last minute to let me know and to get someone new caught up to speed. In the one pre trial Chris had assisted me with, we got to keep the house in the district where my kids go to school. So that was already a win in our favor. Once he left, it all fell apart. My new lawyer who represented me didn't spend 10 minutes defending me against my ex's accusations and spent 0 minutes attacking her and bringing anything to light. Rowe Law offices charges us about 15k and didn't do anything. I know if we had Chris, the way he was the first time I met him, he wouldn't have stood for how this case went down. If I could find him and afford to go back, Chris is the guy I would go with. Instead, I have 15k in debt and basically kids will have to relocate out of state after this school year and we will share 50/50 custody and my son's grandmother with whom his mom lives with was just arrested for biting my son, 2nd degree assault. Sounds like it be a cu and dry case but without Chris, I don't stand a shot. Really missed you Chris

I contacted Attorney Julia Adams regarding a suit. All im allowed to say about the matter is “the matter has been resolved”. That said Attorney Adams ensured that the best decsions were made for me. She actually recommended I look for another lawyer when many would have forced the case for short term profit. This is is a sign she and Kozloff Stoudt are committed to providing the best advice possible. Let me say my matter is resolved and I trust Attorney Adams to help resolve more. Absolutely excellent service to the people. This is the embodiment of freedom and liberty. I hope attorney Adams is able to continue to provide such excellent service. 10/10 Attorney Service.

Whish I could rate in the negatives. Worst council to seek. Look elsewhere. They don't inform you of costs occured during the procedure. They also make you do a majority of the leg work while asking a ridiculous fee.

Sharon is a lawyer for all the people, she speaks in common language so the client is aware of all coincidences . She helped me, an abused husband, complete a divorce from a adulterous, drug and alcohol abusive wife. Clearly she understands that women do take advantage of their loving husbands. I had my divorce wrapped up in a few months. In an honest effort Sharon is busy with other clients and communication may be slow, but as I found out, good things come to those who wait. I highly recommend Sharon to anyone needing help in a bad situation.

This woman is atrocious! She has been handling our case for the last 3 years. Our papers were signed last January, and she stalled, and didn't submit the papers. It gave my husband time after he and I both signed to change his mind on things. We finally are in agreement again, and told her to submit papers at the beginning of April, and we are STILL waiting. She has the papers signed from both parties, and she still won't just go to the courthouse and submit them!!! We are both with other individuals now, after three years, and just want to be able to move on. This one woman is preventing that from happening. My lawyer has stated that in all 35 years she has been practicing law, she has never had a divorce like this, because of Sharon. She doesn't return phone calls, or emails either. She has her money, and I guess thats all she cares about!!!

Sharon was wonderful from start to finish with my custody and divorce. She always responded asap to the tons of emails and voicemails. I had 2 other attorney's before finding Sharon who were terrible and i wish I would have found her sooner, it would have saved me a lot of money and heartache. I would recommend Sharob to any and everyone.

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.
