I was referred to attorney Blumenshine through a relative who was very confident that I would be in good hands. From the start attorney Blumenshine was very attentive and compassionate. As the case progressed, he assured me that I would become whole again after suffering a broken arm in a traumatic car accident. I am very grateful of the service Blumenshine provided and very satisfied with the outcome.

Scott worked on my case with a combination of diligence & skill that u will need in a car accident case. His experienced staff is helpful in guiding u with the myriad of documents u will need. I highly recommend that u give Scott a call. U r not just a client for Scott, but a concerned citizen who needs the best possible legal assistance at an important time in your life u did not expect. Best attribute is that he is constantly in contact with u, & only a phone call away if u have a question.

Ryan went above and beyond on my case. He spent copious amounts of time researching all aspects of my case and when we went to trial his hard work was exemplified. He was extremely respectful during our court case but was still authoritative in his manner of speaking.
In addition to all mentioned above, he was also very personable. He never made me feel incompetent for any of the questions I was asking. He would respond to my questions at all times, not just 9-5. He made me feel like a friend and not just a client.

We were extremely satisfied with the representation of Sean Burke in a personal injury lawsuit I brought as guardian on behalf a relative who is disabled. Mr. Burke was entirely professional, patient, kind, skillful, thorough--I couldn't have asked for a better advocate!

I will keep this as brief as possible. My injuries were so devastating and life changing that I wanted nothing more than to forget about them. This "forgetting" included attempting to ignore any and all aspects of my case. To be honest, I would have quit my case just to be left alone and to be able to move on with my life. It didn't help that, in typical fashion, the defense had done everything in their power for years to blame the accident on me. After years of this and refusing to settle, the case finally went to trial in early 2013. If I remember correctly, it took a couple days of jury selection and on a Thursday or Friday Sean made his opening arguments and began examining expert witnesses. Long story short, when the weekend was over and we came back to court on Monday, the defense was ready to settle! It took a couple days of Sean putting witnesses on the stand for the defense to come to their senses. My life has changed dramatically since then...and for the better this time. To reiterate, I wanted nothing to do with this case for years and IT WAS MY CASE! Sean worked tirelessly for me and my life and I was THE most difficult client to work for. He never quit even when I wanted to. To this day I don not believe I would have won my case with anyone else fighting for me. These days I consider Sean one of my very good friends and I am endlessly thankful for his support.

Sean represented me in a medical malpractice lawsuit, which was very complicated and time consuming. The judgement was in my favor, thanks to Sean's thorough work. Sean was always open and honest with me, and I would definitely work with him again, and I highly recommend him.

I was so fortunate to find Lauren when I needed a lawyer the most. I must have called 20 lawyers in Chicago they all said no. The reason they said I didn't break any bones. Lauren said yes right away . She was so professional and efficient . We settle in less than a year. I highly recommend her. She is the best lawyers in Chicago.

I had never been involved in anything court related in my entire 60 years. I got injured quite significantly & had no clue how anything worked. I am so glad Lauren was my attorney. It was like working with a friend who knew exactly what to do. She never acted like my zillion questions from start to finish were ever a problem no matter how scared I got she was my rock. I never waited more than a few hours for any answers to my questions and she usually responded within minutes! Her knowledge and expertise brought my case to an excellent conclusion. Although I hope I'm never injured again if it should happen I would without hesitation contact Lauren again.

I would definitely recommend Jerrrey to anyone!!! He is very professional and always kept me in the loop on what was going on. The care he has for his clients absolutely shows through his work. He helped me with a complicated workman's comp injury case. I had hired an original attorney who completely dropped the ball and I was afraid too much time had passed to continue with it, but Jeffrey eagerly stepped up to the plate and got everything in order that needed to be done. And with a preexisting condition, it was an uphill fight to begin with. I felt very confident having Jeffrey represent me and cannot thank him enough for helping me put my life back together!! Thank you again!

We met with Mr. McDevitt regarding a personal injury case as a result of a traffic accident. It was apparent from the very beginning that Mr. McDevitt was the right attorney to handle our case. Dan provided us with a strategic course of action, a general timeline pertaining to our case and answered all our questions prior to taking the case. Dan provided us with regular updates and worked aggressively to bring our case to a very satisfactory conclusion, which is ultimately why we hired him. If you are searching for an attorney to handle your case, I highly recommend that you speak with Dan McDevitt prior to making this all important decision. His expertise, aggressive action and friendly service cannot be beat!

I learned of Vito after experiencing a very sudden car accident in which the driver of our vehicle had zero fault in. However because we didn't have adequate coverage, my injuries were about to have to come out of my pocket, that is until my mother-in-law advised me to allow an attorney to look over and review everything before I signed off on anything that pertained to this accident. I had just so happened to have just received a brochure in the mail from Hupy and Abraham, so I gave them a call. They were very sympathetic to my situation and even sent out a representative to my home for my initial consultation. After signing up with them, all of the bill collectors that were hounding me in regards to this accident just stopped calling. It took awhile for the proceedings to be completed, and I was only seeking the medical damages that were incurred from this accident. Well, after negotiations with Vito, I not only got my medical bills paid, but I had enough left over to pay some additional bills , as well as to take a trip to the Islands for a few days. I was so satisfied that I hired him for another accident where a driver rear ended me and totaled my car. Needless to say, that he did the same thing for this case. However, what did take me by total shock was that, during his negotiations, I assume that he didn't agree with the finalized amount. I say this because he called me and said that we had won "x" amount of dollars but after paying everyone that needed to be reimbursed, I would only be left with a very small amount. It was at this point that he told me that he would make sure that I got at least "x" dollars back, even if it meant that the difference would have to be taken out of his fee. I had never heard any attorney offer to forego their own fee. This meant that he would have just done all of that successful work that he had done for absolutely nothing. How many other attorneys have you heard say something like this to you? Of course, from now on, Vito will be my go to guy if I ever need help after any type of automotive accident. He truly earns his living and has shown me what a loving and genuinely concerned attorney acts ike!

John handled a slip and fall case for me. I fell at my apartment building and the landlord was not doing anything about it. I'm lucky I found John because he filed a lawsuit and did a really good job working the case. He had an expert visit the scene and do an inspection and take photos. The expert was really good and found code violations. We ended up settling the case for a lot of money and I'm very happy with John as my attorney.

No one knows what happens in next movement
On way back to home from work I & wife met with an car accident (with no fault).Car totalled and we injured severely, ended up in ER.
We don't what to do next. I found Zayed Law and met Mr. Jeremy Lee, a young, energetic and talented attorney. I felt huge relieved after discussing my case. Mr. Lee was very supportive and always in contact never leaves us in the dark about anything. When we had a question we could call/email him and would have instant answer.
We are happy with the final settlement.
We would like to thanks Mr. Lee and his amazing team for their hard work.
Certainly we would highly recommend to anyone need a Lawyer/Zayed Law Offices.

Adam and the entire team at Zayed Law Offices were fantastic throughout my entire case. You can tell that they truly care about you as a person and not just your case. When I first met with Adam about my case he made me feel comfortable and seemed like he honestly cared about my health and stress. He didn't see me as just $$ like most other offices did. He took the time to learn about me as a person and seemed like he was truly interested. He wasn't just concerned with my case.
Adam and his office answered any questions I had about my case in an extremely timely manner and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. They helped me deal with the over whelming amount of medical bills I had and helped me keep them all in order. Adams office was even nice enough to send me a plant while I was in the hospital recovering from my surgery. They wanted to make a stressful and overwhelming process as stress free as possible.
I would highly recommend Adam and everyone else at Zayed Law Offices to anyone I know. Ultimately Adam was able to settle my case out of court for the FULL policy limit.

Steve was very helpful and did an excellent job of explaining everything.

Words cannot express my gratitude for what Attorney Michael Block has done for me with the worst workmans comp case and with the worst work comp insurance company ever! He worked diligently to represent me with tenacity and perseverance I myself found amazing. It has been 8 long years, and Michael remaind positive that we would prevail. I must also give credit to his assistant Diane, who help keep me sane during this case. She is the best.

I was recently looking for a personal injury attorney. After scouring the web I began to lose hope that I would find an attorney for personal injury that I felt was trustworthy and hardworking enough to take my case. I finally stumbled upon Jason Cook and I took a chance and decided to reach out to him. I was thoroughly impressed with his qualifications, background, and his ability to effectively communicate his suggestions in a way that was easy for me to understand. He made me feel like I was taken care of and gave me peace of mind that I could trust his legal advice. I highly recommend Jason Cook to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney. Jason’s passion to succeed and help others is so obvious in his work ethic and the way that he interacts with people.

Tim Reuland has demonstrated a remarkable combination of capability and consideration in helping my mother defend her independence, her income and her estate against a series of actions that a relative of hers brought against her. He then litigated her action to recover substantial funds from that person. Tim has provided wise and compassionate counsel at every turn of events. He can discuss complicated issues in clear and straightforward terms. He relentlessly focuses on what is important to his client and to the case at hand, without getting side-tracked. His has demonstrated impeccable integrity in the face of adversity. His thorough research and preparation have anticipated surprises that less-experienced attorneys might not. He has an ability to convert opponents' strengths and tactics into liabilities. He helps the court fairly weigh BOTH sides of the issues, earning both close attention to and respect for his arguments. He is persuasive in court, with a reserved yet tenacious approach. Not surprisingly, Tim has been a consistent winner through dozens of filings and hearings. Finally, Tim does not make frivolous filings or waste time on activities that would "run up the tab". He is the most successful and cost-effective litigation attorney I have encountered. Although few might think this of an attorney, Tim's approach leaves you feeling like he's been helping out as a member of the family, and grateful for what he gets done. He is an exceptional attorney and a truly good man.

In 2001, our family hired Michael to handle our father's passing at a nursing home. It was a very hard time for our family, but he was so kind, gracious, understanding, and sympathetic throughout the process. You don't find many lawyers who have a soft heart, well in my opinion that is. He handled our case professionally, answered our questions in a timely matter and assured us we were winning our fight, and we did. I always refer my family and friends if I hear they are in need of an accident or medical claims atty. Without any hesitation Ill go back to him if ever in need. Hopefully not, but in case we do, we got "our guy"

Mitchell Hoffman & Wolf represented my family in the construction related death of my son. I met Paul in the initial interview as my ex-husband was referred by a friend to the firm. Paul displayed a fierce edge that was off-putting and I knew immediately he would be successful in negotiating a settlement changing my son's life to a legacy. In addition to his knowledge of the law (he successfully argued in the Illinois Supreme court to change venue) Paul and the entire staff were genuinely compassionate. Although we agreed my ex-husband would represent our family, Paul keep me included in details as the case progressed over a period of two years with personal calls and email. Of course the settlement will never be adequate, my son lost his life. However, I understand the law and the team led by Paul did an excellent job on behalf of my family.

Susan Novosad is a very gifted and seasoned attorney. She represented me following a traumatic incident in 2011 that resulted in serious physical and emotional injuries. The defendant was no lightweight and resisted many attempts to settle the case, resulting in a rare jury trial. Throughout the entire process, my family and I found Susan to be a consummate professional. She was patient, kind, and attentive. From a legal perspective, she was always prepared. We were humbled by how seriously she took the case, and by how much effort she poured into the many pre-trial affairs and courtroom proceedings. I recommend Susan without hesitation.

David represented us for my husbands serious work related injury. Ours was a very difficult case that stretched out over 8 long years with many twists and turns.Even though it took a long time through no fault of his own, he remained very dedicated to our case. He never gave up. With his extensive knowledge of the law and grit, David represented us so well that we received above and beyond what we originally asked for after our case was presented by him in court. Our case is now entered into the law books as law due his efforts. Both he and his staff worked very hard for us. They always answered questions, returned calls promptly and were very patient with us throughout the years. The whole firm could not have given us better service if they tried, we are so thankful for each and every one of them. We never really understood before all that an excellent lawyer goes through and does until we saw David in action on our case. He is truly an honest, compassionate and hard working man. He does not accept cases to make money but to make sure that justice is served. We feel we were both blessed and honored to have Mr. Kupets as our attorney and will forever be grateful to him. If the need arose we would not hesitate to have him represent us again. We highly recommend this very wonderful lawyer!

I had a fabulous experience with this law firm although. Broken teeth, damaged cartilage in knee when a car turned right on red hit me. I somersaulted over the car into oncoming traffic landing hard on my knee. Gregg took my case and exceeded my expectations. His two paralegals Lydia and Denell were so kind and competent. They were very responsive and meticulous with my case. He actually CARES about you. I HIGHLY recommend this company. You will not be disappointed.

Gregg Mandell and his team were amazing from the beginning! From the first time speaking with Gregg and his team we felt they worked very hard for our mother and her situation.
Gregg went above and beyond to consider our elderly mother's needs and her comfort level with the legal process. He was very thoughtful to explain things in detail and be kind as our mother was confused and stressed about the legal process.
I would highly recommend Gregg and his team to EVERYONE! He is an excellent attorney that you want on your side.

Words alone cannot express my gratitude to the entire Passen Law Group team. They took a very difficult time of my life a guided me to successful resolution.
After being rear-ended in a car accident I began having physical difficulties with speech, headaches, memory, taste and ringing in my ears. While in the Emergency Room it was discovered I had incurred a severe traumatic brain injury called a subdural hematoma.
While recovering after brain surgery, it took me some time to be able talk and communicate clearly again. During that time a lifelong friend encouraged I contact the Passen Law Group. I knew I needed help communicating with third parties legally involved in the aftermath of the car accident. Because I was unable to leave my home during recovery, Mr. Passen willingly came to my home and clearly explained a recommended course of action. I agreed with the approach and consented to retain their services.
It’s over now, but I will never forget the high level of professionalism and expertise exhibited by the Passen Law Group throughout the duration of this legal matter. And I‘d like to express a special thank you to their administrative manager, Kim Sanchez who always kept me informed of status and progress of issues along the way. What a team !!!

Colin was my lawyer for an accident injury. All of my preconceived notions of an injury attorney were proved wrong by him. He is very professional, trustworthy, communicative, and transparent. Colin responded quickly when I wanted an update or had a question.
I had a better than anticipated outcome from my case settlement. All in all it was an easy process. There was very little anxiety/work on my part because Colin takes care of everything.

i knew immediately after my surgery eight years ago that something was wrong, very wrong. i unfortunately was the tip of the iceberg for what now is an understood condition. i fell into a gray area that both doctors and lawyers alike were unfamiliar with. i was bounced around from doctors to specialists and meanwhile i was trying to get a lawyer to listen to me. i kept getting the same response. that it wasn't cut and dry enough. there was no support backing up what my complaints and physical problems were. i kept getting dismissed like i meant nothing. my entire life was flipped upside down. i was at my wit's end and to top it off my case was in the hands of a lawyer who never bothered to educate himself on me, or my condition and was dilly-dallying around with my life. he was unresponsive and incompetent. i kept finding myself having to constantly correct him on the simplest details of my case. i felt lost, alone, helpless and hopeless. i literally sat down in front of my computer and cried and prayed. i then google searched medical malpractice lawyers in chicago, IL and i clicked on a link that listed the names of lawyers. i saw bruce goodman. i stared at his name for a long time. i kept reading it over and over and i thought goodman...good man. i thought that's what i need! a good man to help me! i prayed again and called his office. he talked to me over the phone and set up a time for us to meet. i went in and we went over my case and he has stood by my side from that day on. even when things were bleak and unsure he stayed. he would tell me things were shaky but he still stayed. he didn't abandon me because he'd rather deal with a case that was more clear, more black and white, less difficult to prove, less challenging. he didn't cast me aside like i didn't mean anything. he gave me a chance. to me it meant he thought my strife mattered, that my pain was legitimate and my quality of life was important. reports started coming forth and my condition started getting recognition in the medical field. all the while he has been there fighting for me, educating himself in every aspect of what i have endured and will continue to endure for the rest of my life. i had some insurance issues two surgeries ago and i just couldn't handle any more stress. i was a mess, reduced to tears and dejected. my boyfriend called bruce and he got on the phone and talked me through it. when have you ever heard of such an instance? the fact that even my boyfriend knew he could reach out to bruce speaks volumes. i could go on and on forever on how wonderful of a lawyer and a person he is. my strong feelings for him are endless. he has taken the time to see me for who i am. he listens and more so he hears and he cares. he's honest and fair and explains things to me in great detail and makes sure i understand exactly what is going on every single step of the way. i feel like a family member is representing me now. i know to the core of my being that when i sat in front of my computer and prayed that day that God was listening. God pointed me to the blessing and the gift that is bruce. i can honestly say i don't know where i would be both mentally and physically today if i had not met bruce goodman. he continues to fight for me against any odds and in turn has helped to give me back my dignity, my perseverance and my hope. the difference he has made in my life is priceless. i feel like i can take anything on with him on my side. i gain such strength just from knowing he is there. i don't know how to thank him enough for everything, but i know i will always hold him dear my whole life through; he is a hero in my life.

Colin O'Malley and the entire firm worked tirelessly for years to help us reach an agreement in our personal injury case. It was clear from the start that they cared about us and our little girl (also a plaintiff), and fought to find the desired outcome. While we certainly hope to never need COKT services again, we are confident that we would use them again in a heartbeat, and we would recommend anyone in need of representation to seek out COKT to handle their case.

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.
