I wish to take this time to let everyone know that the service that has been provided to my husband and myself by ERG Law Firm has been very efficient, professional & enjoyable. Atty Didier's firm has assisted us with our Electrical Business. We were not aware until recently that the BP oil spill affected our profits along with the decline of the economy. Needless to say we are very pleased that we will be getting a settlement that will allow us to continue to provide excellent Electrical Service to our community.

Mitch Chubb at ERG Law Firm is certainly an asset to this firm. He has handled my husband and my business claim against BP Deep Horizon. His broad legal knowledge, extensive experience, and genuine interest in our claim was beyond our expectations. He has kept us informed on the progress, answers all emails and phone calls within the same day, mostly within an hour or so. He is very professional, and always so kind and helpful to us. A true gentleman and scholar! A real pleasure to work with.

Hank is a fantastic lawyer. He worked with us on a case for our daughter, who had been hurt in an automobile accident. He did a great job in working up all the pre-trial material so that when the mediation came, it was very favorable.
If you need a good lawyer, you can't go wrong with Hank.

I was involved in a near fatal tractor-trailer accident and sought help from Mr. Lucas and company based on some personal recommendations. I was not let down. Jeff and his staff insisted that I rest and recover while they handled everything, resulting in a settlement that I believe is more than fair.
Jeff & his team are extremely professional, knowledgeable, & most of all, caring! They were involved with me every step of the way from the days following the accident until settling.
100% recommend to anyone involved in an auto accident.

As a Paralegal for 25 years, when I was injured this year as a victim of a rear-end collision, I knew exactly what type of attorney I wanted to handle my case. I know that it takes more than knowledge of the law to be a good and effective attorney. I wanted a firm that was big enough to have any necessary resources to handle the case, while still being small enough to be both personable, professional and easy to communicate with. I was looking for an attorney who would approach my case with fresh eyes and motivation and above all, integrity. I wanted a firm that would not only fight for me, but never forget that I am a human being and not just a file on their desk. I found Hale Law, and was not one bit disappointed. As a matter of fact, they exceeded my expectations beyond description! Not only did they obtain a recovery for me under circumstances that seemed it was impossible, they did so in an incredibly quick and efficient manner. Patrick Iyampillai and Patrick Hale, along with every one of his incredible support staff, did an absolutely amazing job in what turned out to be a rather difficult and somewhat contentious case. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FIRM for any of the practice areas they handle. If you are looking to win your case, look no further.

Byron did an excellent job on the case concerning a traffic accident from start to finish. Negotiating the legal system is a stressful task; Byron made it less so by being available, and taking the time, to answer our every question. He was extremely patient and kept us informed every step of the way. He was able to explain the complex legal process in simple terms to ensure we understood what could happen -- and what was happening. We were very satisfied with the results of the case and give Byron our highest recommendation.

Byron was on top of all that transpired during the whole situation, he was extremely knowledgeable on every twist and turn of the case. He phoned me every time there was a meeting to explain his reasoning for the decisions that were being made. He was very patient and understanding of all of our concerns... A very nice person to have on your side, I would give him the highest recommendation. His research on other cases showed me that he was on top of everything and took a personal interest in the case.

After my car accident in 2014 Mr. Jonathan Stephen Burns took my case. I wasn't trying to get rich, I just didn't want to deal with the insurance companies. It seemed like a very slow process at first, but once Mr. Jonathan Stephen Burns took over my case everything went smoothly...my settlement was much more than I ever expected. I would recommend Mr. Jonathan Stephen Burns to everyone and he will be the first one I call if I every need another attorney.
Thanks Again,

My wife and I suffered a personal tragedy when our son was killed by an unlicensed driver in Florida. We’re from Vermont. Scott Russell was recommended to us. These were dark times for us, and Mr. Russell represented us with care and understanding. All our calls and emails were immediately answered. He negotiated with insurances and hospital billing officials, keeping us informed but also keeping them at arm’s length from us. He fully advised us on what steps were necessary and what steps were inadvisable. We were then, and are now, eternally grateful for his guidance and sensitivity.

I cannot say enough great things about Mr. Russell! I was involved in a car accident involving a fatality. I was taken to the hospital with back injuries and was out of work for several weeks. I hired Mr. Russell almost immediately after the crash on the advise of a friend who had hired him years prior. Mr. Russell was very thorough and kept in constant contact with me throughout my medical treatments. He handled everything. My insurance company and the other parties insurance company paid fully and I know it was due to Mr. Russell's hard work and attention to every detail. I have since recommended Mr. Russell to several of my friends and family members.

Lawrence and Rose Ben, as well as their paralegal, provided me with an excellent and exceptional level of care.They were always available to me by phone, and treated me with kindness! They quickly got me to physicians to treat my injuries. They always discussed my experience while undergoing these procedures. I can honestly say that I have never had this level of compassion and service in dealing with any other attorneys. At the end of the day, the Bens were able to reduce my medical bills drastically, and still get me a great settlement. Larry and Rose do not drag their heels; they worked with great alacrity on my case, I would highly recommend the Ben Law Firm, if you are keen not only with results but also great personal service!

Larry and Rose (and Sandra) are a rare find these days in the legal world. They treat each client case the same (big or small) and work aggressively on your behalf. At the end of the day, they treat you like an individual, they know your name and ultimately remember that a serious accident has brought you to them. I put my trust in Larry and Rose and they didn't let me down. They saw my case through from beginning to the very end and every bump in between!!!

A real quality that seems to be lost in this day and age for people. Mr. Ben and his staff took the time to explain to me what may or may not happen in my son's case. Never once did they "tell me what I wanted to hear" they were honest and clear and never made any promises. They actually took the time to call on numerous occasions to see how he was doing and to make sure he was feeling better as time went by. It was refreshing to know we were more than a case number or a dollar amount. It has been a pleasure to work with them and if the need arises in the future and I need them again I will not hesitate to call.

Jennifer Biewend did an outstanding job representing me in my lawsuit. Jennifer was immediately running through the proper channels and collecting all the evidence she could. I found her to be an excellent communicator, diligent, persistent, kind, intelligent, knowledgeable, and very hard working. She was quick to return my phone calls and took time to talk with me about any questions or concerns that I had. She did a wonderful job with what we had to work with. I consider it a privilege to have retained Avera & Smith and Jennifer for my case. I would highly recommend her work to anyone who may have the opportunity to retain her services.

They took my case because they said it was" the right thing to do. " I didnt know what to expect from a case like this. You can read her diligence in this case in her exceptions to the court at Florida Department of Administrative Hearings by searching her name. This case was taken to the 1dca. We were the prevailing party. You can watch that court proceeding at 1dca and again,search her name. Ms. Sharon Proctor esq. The appealate attorneyand Jenna handled the case. What a team. I could say a lot of nice things about the two but the proof of her qualifications are in the case.
Ive seen reviews that were simply a bunch of lies or perhaps the Attorneys write them to look impressive here. Dont believe everything you read. Review cases.
If you want to win your case,hire her or anyone at Avera & Smith. You wont regret it.
Jenna also handled my auto accident case and i have refered her to friends that seem to be very impressed with her also.
Get with Attorneys from a winning team....get with the team at Avera & Smith. Avvo says to not be ugly to the losing side, so...heres a smile for ya :)

My husband was in an automobile accident that left him with a severely fractured arm. The fracture required surgery which caused hospitalization, and because of the severity he was left unable to work for an extended period of time. Adding to my devastation, I had a three week old newborn.
My husband was in the hospital recovering from his first surgery when he decided to contact the office that Tiffany and her husband Eric own and practice law. The day he contacted them, they came to my husbands hospital room to talk to him about what they may be able to do for us.
We had a new baby and absolutely no income coming in, plus my husband was staying in the hospital due to complications from the surgery to fix the fractures in his arm. I was extremely fragile and scared. Tiffany called me to assure me that she was doing everything in her power to make sure we would start getting my husbands lost wages. She was very knowledgable, confident, compassionate, and thorough. Also, from that point on she made sure to keep me updated along with my husband every time she had any news concerning our case. Tiffany made every effort to fight for what was rightfully ours, she was honest, forthcoming, and diligent. She made every effort to make this process was as easy and as quick as humanly possible for our family. In addition, there were times when we did not understand things that were happening, and Eric, Tiffany's husband and partner would call my husband to make sure we understood the jargon. Tiffany's staff was super helpful and they always were willing to answer questions or to help us whenever we needed it. At Faddis and Faddis, there is never a bad time, for they bend over backwards to make sure their job is done right. They were very assuring and I stopped worrying because I got to a point where I knew I was in the very best of hands. I feel that my husband made the best decision possible that day he contacted Faddis and Faddis. I would recommend Tiffany Faddis with no hesitation, what so ever. Tiffany truly makes this world a better place by lending her expertise to her clients, for you will truly feel as though you have a friend fighting for you. If you find yourself in a position where you need a lawyer to fight for you because of an auto accident, I promise, Tiffany Faddis will not let you down

Right from the very beginning David talked with me about the possibilities of how my case could end, the good and not so good. And let me know he and his team would work very hard to get a good outcome.

Mr Melton performed his task relating to my case in an extremely adequate, timely and professional manner. He also exhibited a great compassion for my particular circumstance and my overall well being. From the time Mr. Melton became involved in my case I felt confident my case would be given the appropiate attention and consideration. I was at all times kept well informed and treated with respect. At any time I felt comfortable calling his office to speak with him or his staff regarding any questions or concerns. I was at all times made to feel important as a client. Mr. Melton and his staff were also extremely patient and understanding with me during this time when unexpected family situations arose. At all times Mr. Melton and his staff ( in particular Laurie, who was extremely helpful and kind) maintained a high level of professional integrity while showing great compassion.
My particular incident was and has been a life altering occurance therefore it was extremely comforting and reassurring to know i had someone such as Mr. Melton and his staff handling legal matters for me and working on my behalf and looking after my best interest.
I Thank the Lord for sending him into my path at exactly the right time.
I would highly reccommend Mr. Melton

Previously working with a South Florida attorney from a large firm, I discovered that I was not being represented in the manner that I had been initially promised. To add insult to injury, the (over)billing was suspect at best. With limited options and my entire career at stake, I was forced to fire my attorney and turned to Mr. Melton for legal counsel.
My case was complex, comprised of several moving parts, any of which would have required an expert. Mr. Melton was successful in a clarifying what needed to be done in each area of this litigation. The steps that I took, based on his advice, led to quick, affordable closure, and avoided a long, drawn out, expensive legal battle. I would not hesitate to use Mr. Melton again. Additionally, I would not hesitate to refer Mr. Melton to someone seeking competent legal advice.

The right rear tire had been improperly serviced and repaired by the defendants three months before the accident. Attorney Melton won us a 13.6 million dollar verdict. Frank Melton is a unique attorney that actually cares about the person and not about how much profit they can get from the injury. His level of professionalism and commitment is without equal and he was not afraid to take my case all the way to trial. Two thumbs way up for Frank Melton and his team. One of the best attorneys around. I checked out other attorneys who were supposed to have great reputations, great results, and good to work with. Mr. Melton was the only one I felt really confident in. I was proud see him handle my complicated case in front of a jury. Mr. Meltons' staff was also superb. His paralegals respond quickly to calls. The other thing I liked about Mr. Melton is that he is no-nonsense, he doesn't sugar coat anything, but he definitely had my best interests in mind. I would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat!

I've been a client of Ian Kirtman’s for 2 car accidents I was involved in. I would say that he has been a very professional lawyer and very passionate in representing me in my cases. He has guided me well and explained to me how the entire process will go and what to expect. As we reached the mediation process, I witnessed the making of a great lawyer who will someday be a household name in our community.
Atty. Kirtman is a great advocate for those who are injured and helpless and who don't have a voice due to the complexity of our legal system. He is very determined and committed to have my case resolved in a fair and and acceptable manner. One great thing about Atty. Kirtman is that his heart is in the right place and I am so lucky to have meet him. I highly recommend him to anyone who has been injured and unemployed due to accident. I am confident that he will treat you well with respect and compassion and he will be your voice as he represents you to the very end.

I would highly recommend Ms. D'Alemberte for her sincere personal approach to cases and her attention to detail. She is a tireless advocate for her clients and has a passion for success. It is rare to find an attorney that is more interested in justice for her clients than the fees charged for her work. I have used a number of attorneys in the past 10 years for a recurring situation and Ms. D'Alemberte is the first lawyer who took the time to research and understand the small details in the law to assist me with my matter. She is extremely knowledgeable and adept with the system, the process and procedures which also is not common among your average attorney.

I have used Carl for a number of issues and in all cases he helped me resolve the issues in a satisfactory manner. Carl is responsive and very trustworthy and kept me well informed throughout the process.
He made me feel like he was truly my advocate in these matters which is not always the case with many lawyers.
I would strongly recommend Carl to anyone who requires legal advice. If Carl feels he is not the best attorney for the job he will tell you and recommend someone who is.
In summary he has tremendous integrity and a very good knowledge of the law.

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.
