Thank you JP for your help and compassion. Mr. Goshgarian's easy going personality made me comfortable to talk to him. I was in a car colission and required his service. He took me in with so much respect. My case was succesfully resolved in an efficient, timely and professional manner. I would definitely recommend Mr. Goshgarian and certainly hire him again.

I have procrastinated over formalizing my will and estate plans. Colin McMichen made the process so simple for me. His professional, yet friendly manner made this dreaded experience really comfortable. Colin’s knowledge of estate law, easy going manner and super efficient method of walking through it helped me make the right decisions. I am confident with the results and feel I made a new friend in the process! I highly recommend Colin’s estate planning services.

As for the process, Colin McMichen gave me a frank preliminary assessment of how my case was likely to play out. I was comfortable from the beginning of our attorney-client relationship, that I was able to have regular communications with him. He gave me easy instructions to follow. I was not rushed in anyway, he took time to ask questions and answer questions at the beginning to get to know me. He was very easy to talk with. Being in two different states, we did everything via email and phone, with no complications. No surprises...just thankful, thank you Colin for your hard work and Sharon also. So, all and all.... he’s alright for an Auburn fan.... Roll Tide

Years ago my infant son was a passenger in a car that was involved in an accident and I contacted Melissa Solevilla at Carey Leisure & Neal. Recently I was also involved in a accident and again contacted Melissa. Both times she was very compassionate about what we went through and explained the ins and outs of what to expect when reaching a conclusion. I feel I was given good advice and no matter how many questions I had, she and all that worked there were always available. I highly recommend Carey Leisure & Neal.

Not one, but two of my children were involved in separate automobile accidents. Melissa was there to help us through the steps, talked us through all of our options, and helped us to make very informed decisions. There were calls, texts, and emails between us, she went well above and beyond what I had expected from her. I appreciated the way that she handled the cases, the time she took to explain things to my children, and the time she also took to explain to myself what was happening step by step. She listened, and also educated us to the importance of certain aspects of the cases. I would highly recommend her and use her again.

I recently had the opportunity to watch Tom Scarritt in the courtroom and I was very impressed. It was evident that Tom connected with the jury extremely well and was very comfortable in the courtroom. He did an excellent job of turning complex legal issues, into persuasive, understandable arguments that the jurors could relate to. Tom did a wonderful job and I would recommend him very strongly.

After 2 years of complex litigation, I was beginning to think the legal system in Hillsborough County Florida was a complete joke. After discussing the situation with Tom Scarritt, I realized my legal team of 3 mishandled certain aspects of the case. Since they were with a large statewide firm, this was a tough pill to swallow. There were 2 trials involved in my case. My original team blew the first part of case by mishandling the trial. I fired the original team and engaged Tom Scarritt. Tom took my bleak situation and completely reversed the tide . At the end of the second trial , the judge told my opponent her assertions of value due her were ridiculous. While no one should be expected to work miracles, Tom Scarritt was able to take our situation to a successful conclusion given our difficult position. Had I employed Tom in the beginning, I am convinced the outcome would have been a complete success. Litigation is a minefield of rules and legal positioning . Tom knows the system inside and out having taught trial lawyers and I recommend him to anyone with a large case.

Life alone can be very challenging, getting into a car accident can make it even worse. You never know when you’re going to face this type of situation but if you ever do you, you want someone who is going to be on your side every step of the way!! From dealing with your insurance company and helping you find doctors who can help treat you to the small things like actually sounding genuinely concerned for your well-being, this is what Mr. Jaime Suarez is!! This is why I would highly recommend Suarez and Montero. Attorney Mr. Jaime Suarez not only walked me through the process but also reassured that he would do everything he could—and actually followed through 120% in order to make sure I understood what was going on with my case. Mr. Jaime Suarez and his staff are extremely professional and make the bad situation into an extremely positive experience. I truly loved the fact that he made time for me whenever I had questions or any updates on my case. The first day I spoke with him he took the time (literally) to speak with me after hours! He is very informative and easy to get a hold of when you really need him! He has gone above and beyond and would and will always recommend attorney Jaime Suarez!! Words really can’t express how grateful I am that I was able to hire him for our situation. Jaime—I truly appreciate everything you have done for me! Happy Holidays!

I was involved in a slip fall accident. I contacted a local law firm that specializes in helping women according to their website. I was asking for my medical bills to be paid since I broke my wrist and needed a metal plate and had surgery to repair my wrist with an orthopedic surgeon. Needless to say, the law firm that I contracted had many issues and did not file necessary paperwork due to personnel issues. During this time I had many lawyers leave the firm and a new one assigned to my case over a 4 year period. Mr. Bennett was assigned to my case and finally got the bill rolling. The issues with the firm continued and when Mr. Bennett also decided to leave the firm, I elected to keep him as my lawyer since he was the only one so far that made progress on my case. What a great decision! Mr. Bennett proved to be persistent, knowledgeable and dedicated to seeing my case through the negotiations and was able to secure my medical bills paid in full. He even waived his fee for me because of the amount of time I had been involved with the prior law firm and felt I had been treated unfairly for enough time. He is a wonderful attorney who works hard for his clients. I know if I ever need an attorney again, he will be the one I call.

Jeffrey Adelman and staff are the most professional, caring and successful law firm for Personal Injury that I know in Coral Springs! I had a car accident in July 2013. After many doctors, testing, MRI's, etc. Jeffrey decided to pull a trick out of his bag of tricks. Since he was familiar with the co. we were suing, and had filed the lawsuit to go to court, he suggested an early mediation before the Holidays. I thought that was a great idea, to avoid going to trial and settle earlier. The attorney for the Defendant, the insurance co. was a trip. Not very presentable, and a bit nasty. But Jeffrey prepped me in advanced, and warned me that this was not the 'usual' attorney..... So glad he did so I put on my poker face. In the mediation (great mediator btw), after the other attorney tried to belittle me and my injuries, I mentioned why I chose not to have certain treatments, which I thought would affect my health in a very bad way due to the fact that I was allergic to it! That changed the entire case. To my amazement, we were able to settle the case on the spot, I did not deviate from what I wanted, and they agreed! But the most incredible thing about Jeffrey, is that he KEEPS HIS WORD! His word is his bond. He does whatever it takes to settle, and makes arrangements with the docs, etc. to pay off the bills to make sure his clients get what they deserve. I was very happy with my settlement. It took a little bit over a year, but I was very happy. I highly recommend Jeff Adelman and staff. You can count on them to have your back...literally! Thank you so much Jeffrey for making a difference in my family's life and mine. I am forever grateful. I hope I don't need you anytime soon, but if I did, you will be my first call! Thanks again.

I am a Madeira Beach-based attorney, who hired Joel and his team of attorneys to help with a personal injury case. Joel and his staff were so professional and efficient, they helped the case go very smoothly. Joel has extensive experience both as an assistant prosecutor, and in private practice, which gives him a thorough understanding of the entire trial court process. He is also well-versed in medical malpractice, and keeps up with the latest trends in medical malpractice law. From your first conversation with Joel, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner. Information I requested about the process was promptly forwarded. And there was never a complaint from his staff. They were always courteous and attentive, making me feel that my case was the only one being handled by the firm, when in reality I was likely one of hundreds of clients. Joel Yanchuck has gained a reputation as the “go-to” attorney for personal injury cases. Be warned: Once your case has been settled, you’ll likely still continue to hear from Joel. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. Thank you Joel.

My daughter and I were in a traumatic 4 car accident and suffered physical injury and mental anguish. John and his assistant, Helene, came highly recommended and working with them exceeded our expectations. Throughout the lengthy recovery process they worked with us, our medical providers, and insurance company to ensure that we received the best care and service. John and Helene made a harrowing and complicated experience manageable, which I am very grateful for. They should be your 1st call if you are in need of representation due to an injury.

When I slipped and fell and shattered my shoulder -I looked around and interviewed. several law firms . Most were not really interested because they felt it was too small of a case ( not enough of a fee for them ) Andre Lama told me he would take the case and that it would take a while but he would represent me in the best possible way . He did what he promised and touched base with me to let me know any updates and I was happy with the outcome ! I would highly recommend him

From our first meeting, Mr Lama made us feel at ease and at the same time explained completely and very clearly how he was going to proceed with our case. He did exactly what he told us on that first meeting and helped us minimize the 20% medical charges we incurred. We will definitely use him again if needed. Also, will recommend him to our friends. Mr Lama, thank you.

I felt like I was Mr. Anise’s only client. I know he has a ton, but he would take time to explain everything to me on the phone, answer my million questions, and at the end of the day all I had to worry about was going to the doctor and taking care of my injuries. He took care of everything!

I had a great experience with this firm. This was my first time working with a lawyer so I was nervous and never really heard good things about lawyers, but that changed when I was represented by Fady Anise, who helped me throughout the entire process when I was involved in a car accident. He helped advocate on my behalf with medical providers and was able to get me the best care during my recovery. He constantly kept in communication and gave be updates frequently about what was going on, and to check in on me to make sure I was good and recovering. Overall I had a great first experience and I would recommend this firm to anyone that was involved in a accident. Thank you Fady, for helping me through this process.

I was hit hard by a truck on the bridge of Lions. After ending up with injuries and damage to my car I decided I would try to be a good sport with the other parties insurance company as at the end of the day it was an accident. They were not Returning the courtesy and actually told me to “get an attorney if I didn’t like it” also rude and unhelpful. After calling multiple attorneys I decided to go with Tom. he was straightforward, Honest, direct and helped me Immensely with the case. He got me everything he promised, helped me with aftercare for my injuries and even helped get compensation for the depreciation of my vehicle. I now see him as a friend and I appreciate all he did for me during this time. I would highly recommend Tom Copeland, we will be the only attorney I will be using in the future.

Very impressive professionalism, the way he dotted every i and crossed all the t's. I was kept informed of every turn or change in the case with exceptional team work and communication with all involved in his office while keeping me advised to appointment's and scheduling details associated with the case. The quality and skills of the expert's that I was treated by was second to none! I feel confident I could recommend this attorney and be at ease with the results he would produce. I'm very thankful for the attention I received and the way I was made to feel as if I was there only client. I couldn't be any more pleased with the result of my case.

I was referred to David through a friend. Although he was unable to take my case, he gave me the time to go through the whole situation and explained why it was not right for him. He told me what I should be looking for and he referred me to another medical mal practice attorney who was also unable to take my case. David was wonderful to speak with and knows his stuff. He guided me to look for certain attributes in law firms and that was very helpful. Last Friday I got an email from an attorney’s office asking if I would be willing to speak with them. They got my name and overview of my case from David. Once he referred me back in July, I didn’t think I would be on his radar as he is very busy, talks with lots of people daily along with everything else he does as the founding member of his firm. I thought he did all he could do, but I was wrong. I signed with them yesterday. If it weren’t for David, I would still be looking for an attorney. David-you are my hero. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wishing you all the best always.

Speaking with David was probably the best experience I have ever had with an attorney. He met the perfect balance between listening to me, taking in everything I had to say, evaluating the situation, and telling me the truth and what expectations were realistic for my case. I find that more valuable than any other interaction with an attorney.

My 2 year old grandson sustained an injury during a swimming lesson. From the first phone call with Mr. Rose he was professional, compassionate and sympathetic towards our case. He vigorously fought for justice when the opposing attorneys tried to dismiss and downplay the incident. During mediation, Adam focused on getting a fair settlement and never wavered off what was right for my grandson. He kept us in the loop from beginning to end and was always available to answer any questions or concerns we may have had. I highly recommend Adam Rose and his firm.

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.
