Wayne Grant was there for me during what could only be described as the worst time in my life. He was professional, yet personable and left no stone unturned in getting standard operating procedures changed in hospitals to make certain what happened to me cannot ever happen to anyone else again. He was willing to take my case even though he
knew it would be an up hill battle all the way. He was kind and
compassionate and always available whenever I had questions or just
needed to talk about what I was going through. I can't imagine needing legal representation and not having Wayne. He is dependable, dedicated to the case, and determined to do what is right no matter what.

Being part of a lawsuit is frustrating. It is emotionally and mentally draining. I am glad Wayne was my lawyer. He was with me throughout the last five years and coping with the situation at hand was much easier with him by my side. Hospitals should be held accountable for any negligence concerning the quality of patient care. Wayne felt the same way. He always knew the latest update concerning the case. I received a letter or email every six weeks. I called quite a bit too. If I had a question, he explained it until I understood the situation. He genuinely cared for me and my well-being. I was nervous about the lawsuit so much that I often times became ill thinking about it. Wayne was always there to listen. There are lawyers and great lawyers. I was blessed with a great lawyer.

David is simply the best. I hired him to represent me against one of the most powerful institutions in middle georgia, which wasn't an easy task. In the end, he recovered 100% of the money that the bank owed me, with the minimum amount of conflict. Thats what a good lawyer does--he solves problems, quietly, and efficiently.

My child was hit by a car while he was crossing the street in a school zone. The reckless driver’s insurance company completely denied my child’s serious injury motor vehicle accident claim, laying blame on my son. I brought the matter to Mr. Dow and he looked at it from an entirely different angle and articulated that position to the insurance company in undeniable terms. The insurance company buckled and paid nearly $100,000 even though they almost had me convinced my son was at fault when he was hit by a car. Mr. Dow’s firm was the difference in my son securing justice in his case and I recommend them highly. – T.A.

I was injured in a tractor-trailer wreck in Brunswick, Georgia while I was visiting from out of state. When I returned home to Florida, I called a large Florida law firm to try to handle my Glynn County, Georgia case. This was a mistake. The Florida attorneys could not get my case settled for a fair amount. Fortunately, the Florida firm contacted Mr. Dow to file a lawsuit on my behalf and he agreed to help. Once the case was filed and the trucking company started working against The Dow Firm, P.C., they saw what they were up against and started to talk about legitimate settlement numbers. In the end, Mr. Dow secured a litigated settlement for me which was double what I would have accepted. And it was way more than the Florida law firm had advised me to take. I am very thankful that J. got involved. He and his staff really took care in my representation and looked out for me. – L.P.

I suspected my husband died as a result of medical malpractice. I was referred to The Dow Firm, P.C. by another attorney who does not handle these types of wrongful death cases. Mr. Dow and his staff of experts (nurses and doctors) evaluated the situation and found that my husband had been victimized, but not as I originally suspected. The cause of my husband’s death was found in some obscure medical record entries which revealed an entirely different situation than the doctors had shared with me. Mr. Dow’s law firm’s investigative work was exceptional and I am so lucky I hired them. After we filed suit the doctor indicated he wanted to settle my case, but he and his insurance company tried to pay less than a reasonable amount. J. refused their offer and pressed on. Eventually, the other side caved in and paid what we demanded. I got unexpected answers and results in my case. Mr. Dow was passionate, assuring and firm the whole way. – L.H.

I had a very positive experience using Lance and his firm to represent me after my car accident. I felt that Lance was extremely knowledgeable and trusted that he was always representing my best interests. Responses to my calls and questions were answered quickly. Lance took the time to explain things in detail when I asked and did not pressure me when I told him that I needed additional time to make decisions. His supporting staff is top notch. I would highly recommend his firm.

I called Saeed and explained my traffic ticket; unlike the other lawyers who wanted me to hire them immediately and pay them up front. Saeed advised me that my traffic ticket was a simple expiry of tag and that i should be able to pay the fine without paying thousands to any lawyer. He was more of a physician watching out for the best interest of his client instead of a businessman looking out for the best for himself. I can not thank him enough for giving the best advice in a simple and understandable language. I highly recommend Saeed for his principles and practise of law.

Saeed is a fantastic attorney and just a genuinely caring guy. His office is in a very nice area, and conveniently located. He spent more time with me than I've ever experienced from an attorney, and he was quick to find answers to all my questions. He handled my case extremely efficiently, and even made me laugh a couple times.
I'd recommend Mr. Mahallati to anyone. I actually picked up a stack of his cards because lawyers like him will actually give lawyers a good name.
Also, he speaks various languages. If you're in the market for a Persian / Iranian speaking attorney, then he's your guy.

I was the victim in a severe rear end collision that left me with multiple injuries, including a concussion that made it difficult to manage my affairs. Tracey Dellacona handled every detail of my case with competence and class, keeping me apprised of every action she took. She was clearly looking out for my best interests and was assertive in dealing with the other drivers insurance company.

Tracey Dellacona was a bulldog for us. She immediately spoke up on our behalf when the situation called for it. She knew her business as well as our business. I felt that even though Tracey was a very busy business woman, she always made time to listen to us....especially me as I was very apprehensive. She was amazing! She appeared to be a southern lady but when she opened her mouth you never knew what was going to come out other than the truth and then the way she presented the truth was most impressive. I was grateful that she was my lawyer and not the lawyer up against us. I appreciated how she held nothing back. Tracey's personal appearance was most impressive as well. She was always dressed to the nines and carried herself with great confidence. I would never hesitate to contact her for legal assistance if the need came up in the future. She was most reassuring to us. My opinion of Tracey Dellacona is one of great esteem. She is a brilliant lady and knows the law inside and out.

Nick has handled several different types legal matters for me. He assisted me with both of my parents estates, he was the closing attorney on several different real estate transactions, he handled an eviction for a rental property I own when I lived out of state, and he helped both my son and husband with moving violations. I would highly recommend Nick Rego. He gets things done in a timely manner, he will respond quickly to emails, even over the weekend, and he has always answered my questions and made sure I had a clear understanding of the matter at hand. Nick is always the first one I call for any legal issue.

Just want to say thanks to Mr Sam Crowe for representing me with my case. He has done an outstanding job. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!

06 Jul, 2015 by Kelly
My husband and I met Mr. Crowe a couple of years ago when my husband was involved in a hit and run accident on his Harley Davidson. Someone hit him and left him laying in the road. I contacted a random attorney that I googled in Conyers, GA where we live. I explained to him what had taken place and shared my concerns with him regarding all of the medical bills that we were facing and all of the Doctor's appointments and physical therapy appointments that we were looking at. From the very beginning, Mr. Crowe was helpful and walked us through everything that we were dealing with. He was so knowledgeable and agreed to meet with us immediately. He even drove out to our home. A lot of Attorneys are arrogant and are only interested in high dollar cases. I never got that feeling from Mr. Crowe. The name of the Law Office that he practices at is Tolliver and Gainer. They are located in old town Conyers. The entire staff has always been friendly and helpful. They make you feel like family right away. Mr. Crowe was able to obtain compensation for my husbands injury even though the person that hit him left the scene of the accident. Piggy backing on the review above, I have nothing but positive feedback for this Attorney and I will recommend his services to all of my family, friends and co-workers. Mr. Crowe is a family man and very involved in our community. He does not act like he is better then anyone and he is very dependable and knowledgeable. He maintained contact with us constantly and even gave us his personal cell phone number. My personal experience with Mr. Crowe and his firm is that he made me feel like our case was the most important case that he was handling at all times. I hope that this helps you to make a decision about who you would like to represent you or your loved one. I promise that you will not regret it.

We would personally like to thank Attorney Myrlin Earle for his commitment, integrity, and dedication to our case. On April 28, 2016 our lives changed forever. My husband was hit by a tractor trailer in Atlanta, Georgia.
Initially we consulted with a well known prestigious firm in the City. After several months of discovery the firm decided to withdraw as Counsel because they did not see the value in our case.
We immediately begin the search for a new firm to represent our case. After our first official meeting with Attorney Earle we knew he would be our Attorney. He saw the value in our case and he was able to get us a comfortable settlement.
Going through this process could be very overwhelming but with Attorney Earle he made sure we understood the process and he was there with us every step of the way.
If you are looking for an Attorney who will be fully committed to you and your case then you have found the right person, Attorney Myrlin Earle.

Myrlin was invaluable in helping me through a difficult time. After my cycling accident, caused by an uncovered man-made hole on a city road, I suffered a serious shoulder injury. Because of the accident, I needed shoulder surgery. To my amazement, the city did not take responsibility for the uncovered man-made hole in the road. In fact, they just ignored my situation and that’s when Mrylin helped in a big way. Mrylin walked me through the process and made it easy. On the rare occasion when I needed to speak with him after hours, he never made me feel that I was imposing on his personal time. He answered my questions, no matter how trivial and took the time to continually update me on where we stood with the city. Myrlin insight on how the process worked was invaluable. He kept my patience in check and in the end, we won our case.
Mr. Earle was responsive, and I really felt that he had my best interests at heart.

I can’t express enough gratitude for the outstanding service we received from Edgar Aguirre and the team at the Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown. After my wife and I were involved in a wreck, they handled everything with such professionalism and care. Edgar was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, keeping us updated regularly and making sure we understood every step. They did all the heavy lifting, allowing us to focus on healing while they worked tirelessly to secure us a great compensation. The process was timely, and we felt fully supported from start to finish. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance!

The entire process of my case was nothing short of Amazing. Campbell represented me and did an amazing job. I felt like he really cared about my overall wellbeing. He and his team often emailed me to check on my healing in my case. Whenever I had a question he and his assistant was always available to help me understand every detail. The responses were prompt and I did not have to talk to multiple lawyers and assistants. I only spoke with my lawyer and his assistant when he was unavailable.
Campbell was also very knowledgeable and professional! I was please with my case, the process, and the time it took to resolve the case. I highly recommend Tobin injury Law. You would not be disappointed in how they fight on your behalf.

My case was by no means ordinary; the challenges of my case have been met by Render’s experience and tenacity. He is a brilliant person who is able to communicate to me and everyone involved in a language we can understand. In addition, Render has a truly great Team supporting him at his firm.

Amazing Law Firm!!! Jacob Jackson has went above and beyond working on my car accident case from day one. I am a single mom raising both of my teenage daughters myself. Both of my children have an underlying medical condition which requires several doctor visits per year. The impact of this car accident has really seem to make my life feel extremely overwhelming mentally/emotionally/physically/financially at times but hiring Jacob Jackson as my attorney, an attorney who cares about his clients and also listens has been a blessing! I personally know how extremely busy an attorney can be with the understanding updates on my case were not going to happen over night. I will say, I’ve never had to wait countless days or weeks for updates from Jacob. From any and every phone conversation, to emails, text messages to in person driving a hour to meet with me saving me the inconvenience of a travel I was not able to make nor did I have transportation to make the drive. I am astonished by the level of compassion, professionalism, extensive knowledge, and superior willingness to listen that Jacob has provided. Jacob has been the best advocate during this most challenging time in my life! I would highly recommend him and have already recommended him to friends and family. Jacob Jackson has always had my best interest at heart regardless of the dollar amount and his actions have proven it. I would absolutely hire him again because he has something that holds value, he has integrity.

Rarely am I at a loss for words but when describing the professionalism and courteous service I received from Jacob, I can't even explain my amount of gratitude. He went above and beyond when handling my case. I received continuous updates about what was going on and he was always so kind, never ceasing to ask about my well being. I have never been treated as well as I have by Jacob Jackson and the other staff at the Roth Firm. You all are the absolute best !!!!

I was referred to David by my pastor after I had been injured working at a department store in town. Remodeling was happening and I was struck by a 4x12 piece of sheetrock. David immediately got my benefits started from my employer and then went after the contractor who caused my injuries. He took care of following up on all my personal and medical needs. When the case was finally over, he helped me with the purchase of a home and even found a nice used car from a wholesaler for me. I came to him as a stranger and he treated me like family and as a close friend. I would recommend anyone with an injury to him!

I will be forever grateful to Bob Windholz for the professionalism and dedication he exhibited as my personal injury attorney. In addition to gaining a settlement for me in an extremely difficult case involving a surgeon who switched his medical opinion to my detriment, Bob stood by me on a personal level. There were times when I was so low that I almost gave up, but he encouraged me, always exercising utmost concern that I have faith in the process. More importantly, I could put my faith in him. If you require a personal injury attorney, trust me, you should call Bob Windholz. –Robin D, Tucker, GA

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.

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