I had a very difficult complicated case. Christopher Cortese always kept me in the loop and helped the whole process be easier. He always responded to my questions and worked hard for my case. I appreciated his kindness and professionalism. They are very knowledgeable about the laws and helped me out quite a bit understanding everything. I would highly recommend this law firm. Christopher Cortese was great to have on my side.

My experience with Hurley McKenna and Mertz was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I first contacted them, it was clear that I was in good hands. The team, led by Michael T. Mertz, took the time to understand every aspect of my case, no matter how complex it was. They were patient, thorough, and made sure I fully understood the legal process at every stage. It was obvious that they genuinely cared about my situation and were committed to doing their best for me. One thing that stood out to me was the level of professionalism and integrity they displayed throughout my case. In an industry where it can sometimes be hard to trust who is truly on your side, I never once doubted their dedication to me as a client. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was carefully examined and that no stone was left unturned. Even when challenges arose, they were there to guide me and reassure me that they were doing everything possible to address the situation. Michael T. Mertz, in particular, was outstanding. His legal expertise and knowledge were evident from the start, but what really impressed me was his compassion. He treated me like more than just a case number, and his personal attention made me feel confident and supported. He listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, and kept me informed of any updates. In moments where I felt overwhelmed, he took the time to explain everything clearly and help me see the bigger picture. His calm, caring demeanor made a huge difference during a stressful time. While I have seen a few reviews of this firm that mentioned the length of time their cases took, I have to disagree with those criticisms. Legal matters, especially complex cases, take time to handle properly. Rushing through important details could mean missing out on key factors that could affect the outcome. I appreciated that Hurley McKenna and Mertz took their time to ensure that my case was handled with care, and it was clear that they were committed to achieving the best possible result rather than rushing to wrap things up quickly. In the end, I felt not only that I had chosen the right legal team, but that I was treated with respect, compassion, and fairness. I would highly recommend Hurley McKenna and Mertz to anyone who is dealing with a complicated legal situation. If you want lawyers who are thorough, honest, and genuinely care about their clients, this is the firm you should turn to. They exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to make sure I had the support I needed throughout the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for better representation, and I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication.

I’m now a widow and my 13 yr old son and I are incredibly grateful for everything Clifford Law Offices provided for me and my family. A special thank you needs to be made to Kevin Sowizrol for referring me to the firm, his recommendations are always spot on. My wonderful Lawyer Craig J. Squillace, Partner and his assistant Debbie did an outstanding job. Craig has excellent follow up and tremendous compassion. His tenacity and strategic approach provided us with not one but two great settlements. I have already recommended this firm to several people.They really are a stellar firm! Thank you again Clifford Law Offices for making a difference for our family.

I was involved in a very bad car accident where a guy ran a red light and nearly killed me and had put me in the hospital for nearly a month.Once I was able to speak again my first call was to Christine,She expressed her concern and thoughts for my well being.This isn’t my first time I’ve reached out to Christine ..which made the process easier . Christine had settled my case with one of the largest settlements awarded for an accident of this magnitude…..If you’re contemplating on an Attorney,Please have no second thoughts.She is the Lion and the lamb , you wouldn’t want to be on the other side of the court going up against her .She is direct, kind, diligent and in the end she does her due diligence with a VERY FAVORABLE outcome. Christine has represented Many members of my family and friends for nearly 25 years ALL of which have thanked me for recommending her.Thank you Christine for everything you’ve done for me my family and friends.

If I could give attorney Zhao a below one, it would most definitely be a 0. She has poor manners and didn't think my spouse case was work, who responds to a client stating "I have been very busy with work" like my spouse case wasn't work. Then gets upset and removed herself from the case after filling into the case because you don't like corrective criticism, how unethical. When she calls her clients she is very disgruntled and pushy, can't be so sure if its a personality conflict or a color/race conflict, but whatever it is. I would not recommend her for any case learn how to treat your clients. You won't make it very far being rude, people are no longer standing for bad behaviors.

It is very rare in this day and age to find an honest, ethical, and no nonsense Attorney. Jonathan has more than earned my respect and appreciation, I value him and his ethics more than imagined. He kept me informed throughout the entire process, too show my appreciation for his hard work, I have already started to refer him friends and family, you don’t get a better thank you than continuing the relationship via referrals. Jonathan thank you for everything, you have given me the opportunity to change my life and stay stabile. I HIGHLY recommend anyone thinking about filing for SS benefits to contact Jonathan. 10 stars in my book.

Jonathon was outstanding!! He is very professional, nice and easy to talk to. Johnathon was always quick to respond back. Process was very smooth and faster than I expected. Most get denied a few times for the beginning process. Don’t get discouraged. Then there’s the hearing. Everything went very well at this stage. Within a few weeks I received my acceptance letter. Thank you very much Johnathon!!!!

I went to Mr. Clinton in distress when I was experiencing some issues at law school. Thankfully, I ended up just transferring to another law school and ultimately did not pursue my issues. I am still writing this review years later because I feel reviews can help people so much when selecting an attorney and my consultation with Mr. Clinton is one that really helped me to find peace. Attorney Clinton came across as a very knowledgeable and helpful person. I have interacted with many attorneys as I am one myself and I can honestly say that very few were as kind as Mr. Clinton. Oftentimes, attorneys can be snippy, but he was not. He is honest about if he can help you or not. At the same time, he remains a very sympathetic person whether he can help you or not. Rest assured, you can tell him your about your possible case and all your problems with no judgment. I also like the types of cases he worked on. I felt they were very noble causes and this was the reason I called him to begin with when I was having the issues I was having.

If I could give attorney Zhao a below one, it would most definitely be a 0. She has poor manners and didn't think my spouse case was work, who responds to a client stating "I have been very busy with work" like my spouse case wasn't work. Then gets upset and removed herself from the case after filling into the case because you don't like corrective criticism, how unethical. When she calls her clients she is very disgruntled and pushy, can't be so sure if its a personality conflict or a color/race conflict, but whatever it is. I would not recommend her for any case learn how to treat your clients. You won't make it very far being rude, people are no longer standing for bad behaviors.

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You

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.

What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?

A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
  • Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
  • Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
  • Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
  • Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.

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.

Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer

Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. What types of damages can I recover?
    Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
  • Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
  • Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
  • Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
  • Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
  • List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
  • Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
