Renee has helped me & my family through dark days & nights but when it was time for her to shine in that courtroom , it was like an angel came and stood right in front of you wit her hand out! I had Agg assault w/ deadly weapon, disorderly conduct, family violence & she got them ALL DISMISSED! She wasn’t taking 1st offender pleas or NOTHING other than released & dismissed . I thank God for her. She’s been around for 30+ years and out of 30 , she’s solved about 65 of me and my family’s cases . HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER , not only because she solved all our cases but she isn’t money-hungry. She work with all kinds of money .. she’s a pretty penny but less than most of the other lawyers here in Atlanta. Thanks for all that you’ve done RENEE ..

Oh my God! Never in my wildest dream did I ever think I would need a lawyer, but I am blessed to have Mr. Orlando as a friend, who was able to get Mr Scott (my lawyer) to reach out to me ASAP. Being on workman comp really blew through my savings. The firm was very interested in my case and encouraging. When the settlement finally came in, I was satisfied, but my lawyer wasn't. He said, "That's not enough for what you went through, let me see if I can get maybe 5K more for you". Well he did better than that, he got me 12K more! The check cleared and I'm hoping to never need a lawyer again, but if I do this firm will/is my only choice.

The consultation with secretary/answering/paralegal was off putting. She asked questions that made no sense, Then asked why a case was put off by a solicitor for so long? That was a very huge red flag... Next when I told this assistant I wanted to do the attorney consult for $350 she starts asking me more questions? I'm assuming she misheard my request but at this point I was past wanting services with this firm. When I told her thank you but ill look elsewhere, she laughs and says "We've never lost a case". Unfortunately you lost a potential client. So 1 star.

Their vast experience and understanding of the law is so evident once you talk with them. Chandler and Louise are two of the most caring people I know and are extremely passionate about helping others. They always take their time to really listen and understand the details of our issues and came back to us with well thought out guidance on what we need to do to resolve them. I consistently turn to and recommend Mason and Associates to everyone I know - thank you so much for working so hard for us!

In both instances I was given honest feedback about my situations, trusted advice, and felt completely informed on how to move forward. Chandler is a family man first, and brings his honestly and integrity into his practice as a successful lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone!

Sid helped me get the results I needed with my issue. I had tried to seek services from a physician who ended up overcharging me for services not provided and mishandled my healthcare. When I tried to handle it myself, it was like I was hitting a brick wall; I got nowhere. But as soon as Sid started helping me, things got done very quickly. He started working on my issue that very same day. You will be hard pressed to find another attorney that will tackle an issue that quickly for you. Sid is dependable, trustworthy and extremely hard working. Sid advocated for me so much more effectively than I could’ve ever advocated for myself. I will always appreciate what he did for me and I 100% recommend his services to anyone thinking about hiring Sid. If you’re reading this right now and are thinking about calling Sid for a consultation, I would highly advise you to do so. Sid made sure that there was absolutely no pressure to hire him, and he only provided information that was valuable to help solve my issue. Even the consultation is free, so you literally have nothing to lose by just calling and letting him tell you what he can do for you. But you likely have quite a bit of potential financial restitution on the line that you could possibly lose if you don’t call Sid. I trusted Sid to make the right decisions for me and I’m so thankful I did. Hopefully this review shows my appreciation in full. Thank you, Sid!

If he can provide his service, he will. If he can’t, he will tell you. His price is reasonable. He treats you as a person and takes your case seriously. He is mild mannered and very patient. He went above and beyond with me. I still call him for legal advice and will use his services again. Thanks Attorney Russel for who you are and giving us hope that there are still some decent attorneys out there. God bless you!

An attorney friend recommended Roger Krause - calling him “the smartest man I know.” My family quickly found that he was right. Besides being EXTREMELY clever-I found Mr. Krause (and his staff) to be fair, honest and VERY responsive. This is the office you want on your side in any dispute. They will not forget about you and will work diligently to get things done. My family received immediate attention from Mr. Krause and his staff and more assistance and kindness than we could have ever hoped for. In this field, experience means everything and we were so thankful that they knew their stuff. Our family cannot thank this law firm enough for their good work.

We've had the misfortune of being on the wrong end of two fairly significant car crashes in the course of a year or so. Ben was recommended to me by someone well respected in the Cobb County judicial circles. He and his staff did not disappoint. By nature, we are not litigious and have never filed a lawsuit before. We explained to Ben we were not out to ruin anyone or seek a windfall. He was respectful of our wishes and we got fair settlements in both injury cases, both times in a very timely fashion.

There simply are not enough positive words to adequately describe the compassion, empathy, honesty, transparency, and professionalism I experienced during my case with the Persons Firm for an auto accident. Ben and his Team (Tricia and Katrina) treated me with the utmost respect, dignity and care. They were always available, just a phone call or an email, and were incredibly thorough in researching and reviewing my case as they pursued justice. Throughout the difficult time, I took comfort in knowing that I was in the hands of a trustworthy, upstanding man of character like Ben, who would help me right the wrong and ultimately find a resolve to the trauma I had endured. Ben really cares about his clients and their well-being as well as their outcome. If ever you find yourself in need of an Attorney that has integrity, and treats you like a part of the family, The Persons Firm will be a blessing as well as the gift of peace that you deserve. Trust me when I say, they make you feel that you are being taken care of, and that you are not just a number, you are a name. As a client, I am completely satisfied. I would definitely recommend Ben Persons and his team. Ben you and your Team are truly outstanding. May God continue to bless you in all that you do.

He didn't sugar coat our case - he was very honest about our weaknesses, but also emphasized the positives in a fair and balanced way. Ultimately, he negotiated a very attractive settlement for us that we considered a major success. I would give him a 1000% (yes, 1000) recommendation without hesitation.

Derek Horne walks the talk. After searching for a local Pooler attorney to help me with a local matter I made several phone calls and after speaking with a couple others that only seemed to want my money but couldn't explain exactly how they would handle my situation and didnt have much time to talk before getting paid one of them a former local prosecutor I made my last call to Derek Horne. Derek Horne took the call right away and spent 20 minutes on the phone with me before discusing any money. He was clear on what he would do for me and he knew all the local players, without going into great detail talking with Derek was like talking to one of the guys and he delivered in a big way and at a resonable fee. My case outcome was exactly what he said it would be. Derek Horne is a lawyer you can trust. HIRE HIM !!!

Mark and Dianne were amazing. I was in a bit of a legal bind and I called for some advise. I couldn't have been helped by anyone better. They were accommodating and extremely knowledgeable, clearly knowing what they were talking about. I know that even with them, with what could be considered a brief interaction, they offered top-notch service and I know that if I ever need them for personal injury, that I would be in great hands. Sweet, funny, personable, I know that I was going to be taken care of. Definitely a great team that they are growing here at Wade Injury Law!

I couldn’t have had a more compassionate and understanding lawyer for my son’s death… Mr. Roger Krause went above and beyond to accommodate and get me compensation for my baby… No matter the time of day or night he always made sure he followed back up with me and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.. He would be someone I rehired if I ever needed anything… Thank you for getting Justice for Legend… 💙🧩🧡💛🩷

An attorney friend recommended Roger Krause - calling him “the smartest man I know.” My family quickly found that he was right. Besides being EXTREMELY clever-I found Mr. Krause (and his staff) to be fair, honest and VERY responsive. This is the office you want on your side in any dispute. They will not forget about you and will work diligently to get things done. My family received immediate attention from Mr. Krause and his staff and more assistance and kindness than we could have ever hoped for. In this field, experience means everything and we were so thankful that they knew their stuff. Our family cannot thank this law firm enough for their good work.

I have seen Neal Howard in a handful of capacities. I have observed him in my role as a trial judge, as co-counsel and as a mediator. Neal Howard offers superior legal service. "Caution" in this review is unwarranted in that he knows what he's doing, can try a strong case and genuinely cares for his clients, colleagues and the bench. I would trust him with any personal injury, medical malpractice, trucking, premises or wrongful death/catastrophic injury case. Neal is a fine lawyer and a good man.

He is very knowledgeable about personal injury matters and how to best fight your case, and he was very responsive to my phone calls, taking time to explain thoroughly and listen to my thoughts. I have been represented by various lawyers for different matters over the course of my life, and my experience with Brian stands out like a beacon. What a different reputation lawyers would have if more of them conducted themselves and their responsibilities as Brian does!!

Brian took over my case from another law firm that had done nothing in almost 2 years. Brian walked me through each aspect of the case and genuinely cared about getting me the best possible result. The insurance company denied responsibility for my injuries to my first lawyer. Brian never stopped working and the insurance company finally offered a good settlement on the day trial was going to start. If Brian hadnt worked so hard they would have never taken responsibility for my injuries. I will make sure all my friends and family memebers call Brian if they ever need anything.

Brian took over my car wreck case from another attorney after the insurance company denied responsibility. The first lawyer I hired on the case just wanted a quick settlement and when that didnt work they didn't want to roll their sleeves up and fight. Brian filed a lawsuit and fought for 2 years before the insurance asked us to mediate the case. At mediation we were able to settle my case for good amount. None of this would have happened without Brian constantly pushing the defense lawyer and adjuster. Brian stays busy but he would always take the time to talk to me to let me know what was going on with my case. My first lawyer wouldnt even give me his direct line at the office -- Brian gave me his cell phone and home number. Not many other lawyers care enough about their clients to do that. I hope I never have another car crash but if I do, or any of my friends or family do, there is no doubt that Brian will be my first and only call.

Arron was amazing and the process was quick and easy. I really had no worries the entire time, which after having a wreck is honestly, a huge relief. In my case, thank goodness, my wreck was not very extensive but no matter the size, having that happen to you can make you feel very unsure and worried about the future and how it is going to impact your life. Luckily for me, I never had to worry that my case was being handled. I was never spoken to on a level higher than my understanding which gives you a sense of comfort, that despite the set back, everything is going to be okay. Aaron was extremely patient and very kind to me and I appreciate that so much. The fact that he had kept in contact with me the entire time, and was always following up with me was awesome, most lawyers aren't that personal.

I was recently involved in a car accident and needed an injury attorney. I contacted The Law Offices of Casey Stevens. Mr.Stevens gave me option of meeting him in his office or coming to my house which was extremely convenient for me. He listened to the details of the accident and asked questions- He was very through! He fully took care of all the paperwork involved. Mr. Stevens kept me informed with updated information on the status of my case regularly. In the end I was very satisfied with how he handled everything. I strongly recommend anyone in need of legal counsel regarding injury to contact The Law Offices of Casey Stevens.

Casey Stevens was my personal injury attorney for a fatal car accident that my 12 year old and I were involved in. It was a devastating experience and my son and I both sustained serious injuries. I was referred to Mr. Stevens by a respected attorney in Atlanta whose advice I trusted. I was not familiar with the litigation process whatsoever and was unnerved by the entire ordeal. Mr. Stevens immediately put me at ease. He listened patiently as I explained what transpired during the accident and went over all of my options. Although his office was bustling, he treated me as though I was the most important client that he had. I wanted to settle everything as quickly as possible to put the incident behind me and move on. Mr. Stevens and his office were extremely thorough and moved swiftly and efficiently. My son and I had two separate cases and because of Mr. Stevens' expertise and diligence we were both awarded large sums that made us feel as though we were compensated sufficiently to justify the short term and long term mental and physical injuries we sustained. I was lucky to have someone who truly cared about me and my son, as our advocate with the insurance company. I have referred several people that I know to Mr. Stevens and I would highly recommend Mr. Stevens to anyone who was in a similar situation or even a more serious one. He will not back down and will fight for you until you are satisfied with the outcome.

Our son had an accident after his first week of driving on his own. The person he pulled out in front of was injured and both vehicles were damaged beyond repair. We were suddenly served legal documents and were being sued. Mr. Scott was the attorney for our insurance company. We had never been involved in an accident or a lawsuit and didn't know what to expect. His legal expertise and knowledge resulted in the plaintiff settling for what our insurance covered. Maybe even more impressive was the kindness and encouragement that was shown to our son through this whole process by Paul Scott.

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.
