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.

I had a case with them several years ago. This firm did OK work on my case. I could tell they are a high volume personal injury firm. They did adequate work on my case, and I was happy with what I walked away with.
I regret not going back to them. Instead, I tried another firm (and instead left kind of a nasty, albeit truthful comment on their Google review board.).

I swear if I can give 0 stars I would, this firm has been handling my case since 2023, and I dun had 3 different lawyers while dealing with my case WHY??? I don’t know they don’t communicate with their clients AT ALL and I’ve been lied to multiple times about my offer status. I will not recommend this firm to anyone ESPECIALLY due to their lack of communication with their attorneys. I’m looking for a good law firm to go through I am willing to start my process over at this point it’ll be worth it. And I will comment a review via google and Facebook until I see some results 💯

I have had a brutal divorce, very very long and painful on many levels, but Matt, Amy and their team have stood by my side throughout the process. Contesting and litigating the situation with tact and professionalism. I would highly recommend these folks of yours are unfortunately in need of their experience and expertise. They also are not in it to bankrupt you like many in Family Law tend to be.

I hired Mr. Fedick to go after someone who blew a red light and rear-ended me. He ended up going after both the driver and his company and not only got all of my bills taken care of, but also got me some money for pain and suffering.
He's a nice guy and knows his stuff, but I would have liked him even more if he gave me advanced warnings (not 24 hours or less) when I needed to be downtown because I was living out of IL at the time.

Sam has been my lawyer for more than 4 years now and has represented me excellently every single time! His work ethic is admirable and commitment to my case(s) has always been impressive. He is definitely successful at what he does! I don’t know what I would have done if Sam wasn’t there to guide me through such a hard time. The communication I received from him was always quick and he was upfront on what to expect, what the next step was, etc. Apart from being the best lawyer in Chicago, he was also my biggest support through my recent custody case involving a GAL. I will only be recommending Sam Worley to any of my colleagues, family, and friends who are in search of an amazing lawyer because I know they will be in great hands with his expertise and professionalism. If I could give him 10 stars, I would! I am beyond grateful for you and your services, Sam! My savior!

Lee and his team have been an invaluable asset throughout the past 4+ years.
They guided me through every step of the process with clarity and professionalism. Their knowledge of the law and ability to anticipate potential challenges were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome.
However, what truly sets Lee apart is his compassionate and empathetic approach. He understood the emotional turmoil I was experiencing and provided a listening ear that went above and beyond anything I could have expected. His support extended beyond the legal realm, offering invaluable emotional guidance during a difficult time.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jacobson Legal Services to anyone facing family law matters. Their combination of legal acumen and compassionate care is unparalleled.

I would like to highly recommend The Romanucci & Blandin law firm! After falling for one of the TV law firms and and having been transferred to five different attorneys in a year, I received a recommendation for their firm. I was in a very serious accident and had a police report that said the other driver was at fault. The previous attorney firm was not making any effort and had given up on my case. Attorney's Daisy Aylon and Sam Horton were assigned to the case. They came to my rescue and were able to settle the case for a very substantial amount. If you have been injured in an accident, please do yourself a favor, and don't get tricked like I did! Romanucci & Blandin changed my life! They will help you too!!!!

My wife and I hired Aaron to help with a security deposit dispute against our landlord and were very glad to have done so. While other firms have slow and bureaucratic processes for assessing potential cases, when I called Aaron he immediately asked for the details of our case and gave us an appraisal of our legal standing as well as what we could most likely expect from settlement/court(which ended up matching our experience exactly). Aaron made the subsequent process, from filing to negotiations and settlement, extremely easy and pain free. I would highly recommend giving Aaron a call if you need a representative for any Chicago Landlord/Tenant matters.

What an amazing staff to deal with, I had a work injury and like everyone that seeks advice I was nervous at first. Nancy Shepard kept me in the loop with everything, she took my case from a different attorney she took the time to go back and review every detail and proceeded to fight for me even more. You don’t get that from anyone, that much attention to a single case, Nancy Shepard and the team at Seidman, Margulis & Fairman thank you!.

I was initially referred to Z Wang & Associates in 2013 by a friend of mine. My parents met with Zhidong Wang when he traveled back to China in 2013–2014, and we decided to start the EB-5 process with Z Wang & Associates as our immigration attorneys. We first filed the I-526 in September 2015 and received approval in September 2016. We filed the I-485 in April 2020 and had it approved in July 2022. In May 2024, we filed the I-829 and received approval in December 2024. We are glad that, after this 9-year wait, we have finally completed the entire EB-5 process and had our conditions removed.
Over the years, we worked with Dora Zang, Jamie Hossa, Jeff Cheng, and Zhidong Wang, who were always able to answer our questions whenever we needed help. We truly appreciate their time and assistance over the past nine years! We will contact them again for the N-400 process and any future green card applications for my parents.

Clifford Law Offices helped me with my falling on ice personal injury case. They were incredible for the entire time they represented me. They were supportive and never made me feel like my case was not important. They were patient and answered all my questions throughout the case. They were always responsive and continued to walk me through the process, ensuring I understood the next steps and more importantly the timeline.
I could tell they were committed to obtaining the best outcomes for my case. As we neared the end of the case, they talked with me about my options and in the end, they helped me settle my case for an amount that exceeded my expectations. And even after getting the settlement, they continued to stay in touch to get me the settlement funds as quickly as possible.
I highly recommend using Clifford Law Offices if you ever need a personal injury lawyer. They are professional, empathetic, and will fight hard for you.

Quite possibly the most frustrating experience with a recruiter I've ever had. Doesn't respond to messages, even though I replied to the questions within 30 minutes. Asked for time to meet and discuss a job, I agreed, then that time came and went with no call. I have no idea why I gave it another shot after that, but I did. I offered several times I was available over several days. We agreed to a day and time, then a day later I get a message claiming they double booked the time. Wait, what? I would strongly caution if you're trying to do business with this company. The recruiter is the first point of contact and first impressions are absolutely everything. What if I were the one carrying on that way? They'd send me a rejection letter!

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
