I had what some would call a “complicated” case. Which took time to sort out - many years in fact. Sometimes I wouldn’t hear from the office for awhile unless I contacted them first. I do think that this possibly could’ve been handled quicker. But like I said my case was complicated, they moved offices and then COVID - some delays that occurred we’re out of their control. Besides the delays - my encounters with Kevin and his team were always a delight. They were very professional, and took time to answer all my questions. We ended up getting a settlement for what I think I deserved and that was greatly appreciated. Worth all the time in the end. I would recommend them to a friend but hope they improve on regular and timely communication going forward.

I'm grateful to Kevin and his team of paralegals Kyle and Davis who helped us through the whole case. My case was complex however, Kevin and his team were able to resolve my case that started in 2018. During mediation and deposition, Kevin walked us through the whole process and prepared us for what the defense counsel was going to do and say. My case was resolved in mediation and Kevin always listened to our concerns and explained to us what was the best avenue and what to expect. The case was against Geico, and his posture never changed, thanks to that he was able to make Geico triple their initial settlement offer. I do not doubt that without Kevin and his associates Geico would have won even though they mistreated a loyal customer. I would recommend Leipow and Associates to does who need a great litigation firm.

I was referred to Mr. Bryant Green III from where I was receiving my treatment since my car accident. We set an appointment, met for the first time and I walked out, with a PEACE OF MIND that I can worry less & live more ..I knew I was with the right attorney law firm. His staff has been very very professional. I love Ms. Dorys Chilindron his paralegal. She is phenomenal!!! Mr. Bryant has made sure during the process that I was kept up to date, and kept in the loop as to what was going on with my case. Mr Bryant was very prompt in response when I reached out via phone or email. Very very knowledgable, and made me feel that my case was very important to him. I would recommend the Law Offices of Bryant Green III to anyone needing expert, timely and professional handling of their personal injury case!!

Sarah and her staff are professional, courteous, and compassionate. It's not easy to discuss estate planning. But Sarah has a way of making her clients feel at ease. She also takes it to heart to make sure she answers her client's questions thoroughly and that they understand her answers and the documents they are signing. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah for estate planning.

We contacted this firm due to their many 5 star reviews, expecting to get the same treatment. We were initially met with positive attitudes and a reassurance of why they have their reviews.
It was short lived. They needed US to solve everything for them, and they still couldn’t figure it out. They kept commending us for “acting as lawyers” (doing all the work ourselves) up until there was a delay in a change we were expecting on a paperwork. Expected on Friday.
They didn’t even wait until EOD before issuing us a disengagement letter and showing us the old paperwork. We explained to them that the party responsible for updating the paperwork, doesn’t arrive until the evening on Friday.
They ceased communicating with us when we literally had everything they asked for.
Later that day, we had everything they needed, including the NEW paperwork. (they could’ve done this themselves) and they never recanted the disengagement.
This review is a reminder that this firm is far from the 5 stars they’ve likely paid for or asked for. Also, negotiate your upfront percentage! They accepted a 28% pursuit fee because we did so much of their job for them before they even agreed to work with us.

Sorry to have to be the 1st 1-star review however, it not without reason and justification.
I was recently involved in an MVA accident where Forsyth county wrongly placed fault on me. (The other driver lied, and their “investigation” coincided with this driver at the time). Me sticking to my truth, I contacted about 8 businesses in the area seeking surveillance footage which corroborated with my account on what happened that night. After securing footage at TWO locations, submitting it to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s department, and asking for a reversal of the citation and an amendment to the report, I was granted such by the sergeant after her viewed the surveillance footage and agreed with the other driver being at fault.
I sought Angell Law Firm for their services a few days ago. I’ve gathered all supporting documents, evidence and more for my case on my own (saving them a ton of leg work). We were now simply waiting on an UPDATED report scheduled to be updated today-12/6/24, to get started with representation. I was assigned case manager Fanny Medina who on today, pulled the OLD report, called me and threatened disengagement of representation, due to the report showing incorrect information. She then hung up the call in my face, I called back and was told that she will be forwarding me the report via email.
The email contained her stating that due to the nature of the report, they would have to regrettably disengage representation with me. She also attached the OLD report. I REPEATEDLY told them there will be a NEW report and provided verbal (consented audio recording) communication from the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office confirming that.
I just received written confirmation from Forsyth County’s Lieutenant, (at 9:39pm 12/6/24) confirming the new report and the updated information that Angell Law Firm said needed to be on the report. Everything is in writing. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Lieutenants issued an apology and written confirmation to fix and resolve this issue. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?
Why was I ghosted and left without representation? Your incompetent case manager had the wrong report. You all dropped the ball on this one, and I’m holding EVERYONE accountable for their errors in this matter.

I would highly recommend attorney Sasan and the Nemat Law team as I reached out to him to help with a complex landlord situation, and they handled it with exceptional professionalism and care. From the moment I contacted them, they acted swiftly on the same day, ensuring that everything was addressed in a timely manner.
Their deep knowledge of landlord-tenant laws was evident throughout the process, and they explained every step in clear, understandable terms. What really stood out was their patience and understanding. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and guide me toward the best possible outcome.

Where do I start? The most traumatic experience of my life - was when a drunk driver hit me and my kids back in September. I thought my kids were gone. I heard about this law firm through a family friend, and man.. I’m so glad I listened. From Nitisha, to Ivonne, to Bethany, and to Jade: I can cry typing this. Happy tears. I am so grateful for all of you. You have walked with me and have even held my hand this entire time and continue to do so. You were an outlet for me to cry to and vent to, you stood firm and fought for me & my children. I am beyond grateful for you all putting me & my kids first. I can never say thank you enough. If you’re going through anything and need an injury lawyer… you’d be crazy not to call Schneider Injury Law!! Bless you all, from the bottom of my heart.

I’m so grateful to Kim Law for guiding me through such a tough time after my car accident. From the very beginning, they were patient, supportive, and truly cared about my well-being. They kept me updated every step of the way, explained everything in a way I could understand, and always checked in to see how I was doing—not just about the case, but personally too.
What really stood out was how they made the process so much smoother by connecting me with their network of doctors. This allowed me to focus on my recovery instead of stressing over the complicated insurance and claims process. Their dedication, compassion, and expertise turned a dark time into a manageable one, and I’ll always be thankful for their help.
If you’re looking for a team that genuinely has your back, I highly recommend Kim Law!

I have had the fortunate and unfortunate pleasure of working with SWTW, and more specifically Andrea Pawlak and Kevin Ward, both of which I can not speak highly enough about. I have been through the worst of life experiences and can honestly say that without their friendship and guidance I would be in a much different position. Andrea is by far the most prepared, educated, dedicated and passionate attorney that I have been exposed to. The single greatest attribute that stands above the rest is her ability to manage a client through what is seemingly their worst moments in life such as a child's death and/or a contentious divorce. Andrea brings a level of personal connection to the engagement and truly cares about the well being of her clients, not just the outcome! She knows the case inside and out and is so well prepared to provide her clients with the necessary information to make educated decisions. A lawyers job is not to make choices on custody as mentioned in a review below, that is the clients decision, your attorney should be a trusted ally that provides you with legal informed decision making options and aligns with your morals, values and ethics, I could not recommend Andrea and SWTW more because of this reason.

If you are looking for a great attorney that not only fights for you and your loved one but also takes the time to walk you through every step, keeps you informed, and gives you personalized care then you need to hire John and the Mabrey Firm.

A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.
If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:
- Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
- Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
- Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
- Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
- Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
- Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.
Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.

How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
- Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
- Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.
