If you're in the need for an injury lawyer who's not afraid to take on the big companies who will work to make sure you get the settlement you deserve then look no further than April Bonifatto. After a slip and fall at a casino in 2017 April took my case and has worked tirelessly the past few years and winning a settlement for me.  April not only shows complete professionalism but brings the tough as nails attitude needed to deal with personal injury cases that others cannot win.  She is also truly kind and shows concern for your well being and will keep you well informed as to the process progresses and will any questions you may have quickly.  I highly recommend April Bonifatto as a Lawyer you can trust!

First of all, I'm not a big fan of lawyers. When I got into a car accident coming home from California seeking out a lawyer was not even a considerstion. When I first saw a doctor April was whom my doctor referred me too. I was still skeptical. Fast forward 9 months and having April Bonifatto on my side was absolutely the right decision. She is professional, caring, and has integrity in all she does. I would say we need more lawyers like April. But, if they were all like her I'd have to give up all of my lawyer jokes. April put me at ease after our first call. She kept me updated throughout the process and always had what was best for me in her mind. She made sure to negotiate with the insurance companies and medical providers for what was best for me. If you find yourself in an undortunate situation where you need an injury lawyer April Bonifatto is the real way to go!

5 stars… I would give more stars if I could. Found myself needing an attorney after a car accident. My bosses referred me to Jon Remmel Law Firm and I can’t tell you how grateful I am that they did. Jon will try and settle your case before trial but if that doesn’t succeed, he isn’t afraid to go to court and fight hard for you! When a jury member tells your attorney “If I ever need an attorney, I know I’ll be calling you”, that really says something. Thank you Jon Remmel and team from the bottom of my heart for putting in all the hard work!

I have personally hired Mr. Wirth and his team when I was involved in a horrific auto accident last year. They are absolutely Amazing and very knowledgeable with the law! They delivered both professional and personalized service. You can count on him to listen to your concerns, explain the law and process, understand your rights, and guide you through excellent service while obtaining the best outcome. Mr. Wirth and his team are very attentive and you don't feel like your just another file or number that gets lost. They are very attentive to your needs and they minimize all your stress from the paperwork, to speaking with insurance companies, organizing all your doctor records, and really manage your case so I was able to focus on getting myself back on track. They even work early and later hours and accommodated my schedule. They even called me after I got out of work at 5PM to speak about my specific needs. They are very attentive and treated me with great respect that was greatly appreciated and noticed. Thank you Mr. Wirth and your team for really taking care of me! You guys are the BEST =)

Not only did they take on a difficult case and treat my daughter and I as if we had the best case in the world, they were able to get her a settlement that was far more than I could have expected.

I was in Vegas for work, for a convention. I live in California so I drove, and stayed at the Cromwell on the strip, one of the older hotels. Their parking garage exits right into downtown, and I got hit 2 minutes into my drive the first day there. The car was completely totaled, we got hit by a ram truck and I really really felt it. I was concerned I was going to be all messed up with spinal injuries and whiplash and so forth… and I didn't know any doctors in town so that was also a problem. I contacted Benson and Bingham, and they some really great referrals, helped me get scheduled, and helped get my car accident insurance claim started. We're still working on the case, but I've been super impressed by their team, they're professionalism, the whole thing. They have a nice office just a couple of miles from our hotel, so it's been pretty convenient as well. A big thanks to attorney Ben Bingham for handle my case and made me feel at ease!

Hey y'all. I just want to say thank God for attorneys like Kevin Hanratty. I could go on forever about him. I was told by four different law firms that I had no case in an incident where I was bit by a dog in Vegas at a hospital. I kept being turned down, Then Kevin called me so I decided to do some research on him. Do it and you'll see why I hired him. He's been doing this for 20 years. If you want a lawyer who knows his stuff, who will use all applicable laws and who will REALLY fight for you. He's your guy. I won't tell you how much he got me cause that isn't the issue here. He is the kind of lawyer that has a compassionate staff including himself. If you call, and if he's available to talk to you, he will definitely talk to you. If you email him, he will respond promptly, if you have questions as your case goes on, he'll answer them. If you have any questions his paralegal will help you. He truly shows he cares about people who are done wrong and he will make those wrongs right. He truly is the kind of Lawyer you want. Thanks Kevin. You and your staff are amazing.

If you are ever in need of a personal injury attorney you cannot make a better choice than securing the services of Maxwell & Maxwell for your representation in your personal injury matter. My experience with Maxwell & Maxwell was beyond my expectation. My case was not a clear-cut simple run-of-the-mill personal injury case and the insurance company was about as hard-nosed as they come, but, with the diligence and hard work toward my case by Ms. Kristine Maxwell, my case was resolved in my favor and I would like to thank Ms. Maxwell for responding to phone calls, texts and emails from me in a timely matter.

I switched from another attorney because of lack of communication. I have both of my attorneys personal cell phone numbers and can contact them anytime, this makes me feel very involved in my case.They got me to a Dr. who has a upstanding reputation, and will not only help my case but actually care how I want to handle my medical treatment. When they took my case they also took my 3 childrens cases over from the other law office because it was already settled but we had been waiting more than 2 months to set up their accounts. The Palmer law office not only set up the accounts without a fee, they found that there was over $2000, that was unaccounted for in all the court documents the other office did, so my kids got a lot more than we had agreed on. You tell me, where WOULD that money had gone? When you speak to them they are so personable yet professional, but that makes me feel so good about having them on my side is it's so obvious they have three things that we do not see enough of... An amazing work ethic, values and morels. I carry their cards everywhere because after dealing with the other attorneys office, I want everyone to get the genuine treatment I get!

I was in a motor vehicle accident while on vacation in Las Vegas. After being rear ended and suffering a concussion I started to experience lots of medical issues. I hired an attorney in Las Vegas to help me but he had no experience in Mild traumatic brain injury . Big Mistake! He had no clue, he thought all I had was a headache and it would go away. I started to look for a new attorney as I came across Tim Titolo's site. I called him and after talking to him it was clear he understood brain injuries! He was so knowledgeable and compassionate. Tim was able to get me a fair settlement in just a few months of taking over the claim! I can't say enough about Tim, he always returned my calls and emails and answered all of my questions. Tim is an expert on brain injuries if you have been injured and suffered a brain injury call him he has the experience and knowledge to understand this life altering injury.

I am very leery of having to use an attorney for anything. I have been in many accidents that people recommended an attorney but luckily I have not had to use them. But for my recent incident only because of my outcome sustaining a TBI (tramatic Brain injury) along with other injuries to other extremities Tim Titolo was recommended to me by a trusted friend. After researching a few other attorneys my husband and I were confident with all the facts found on Mr. Titolo. Although my case was not as high profile as he is experienced with we had no doubt that we would be able to trust in his knowledge where we lacked in the given situation. I would highly recommend the Titolo Law Offices services if you find yourself with serious injuries such as a Brain injury.

Dave took my case to trial and did better than the settlement offers extended by the other side, by a large margin. He's willing to challenge the other side's lawyers (or the judge), yet knows how to control the room with a direct, comfortable presentation that is confidence-inspiring and familiar. I am deeply grateful that I had Dave representing me and recommend him to others.

5-Star Review for Blackburn Wirth Law Firm After my auto injury, I was overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. Thankfully, I found Blackburn Wirth Law Firm, and it was the best decision I could have made. From the moment I walked into their office, I was greeted with professionalism, empathy, and a genuine concern for my well-being. The team at Blackburn Wirth, particularly my attorney, went above and beyond to ensure I was well taken care of. They explained every step of the legal process in a way that was easy to understand, never once making me feel like just another case file. Their dedication to my case was evident in their meticulous attention to detail, strategic approach, and unwavering support. What stood out the most was their commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. They fought tirelessly, ensuring that I received not just compensation, but also the peace of mind that my future was secure after such a traumatic event. Moreover, their communication was exceptional. I was always kept in the loop, and any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly and thoroughly. Their compassionate approach made a stressful time feel much more manageable. If you're in need of legal representation following an auto injury, look no further than Blackburn Wirth Law Firm. They are not just lawyers; they are advocates, supporters, and, most importantly, they genuinely care. I can't thank them enough for their outstanding service and for turning a negative experience into one where I felt truly cared for. Highly recommended! I hope this review helps reflect your positive experience with Blackburn Wirth Law Firm!

Dean Patti and his staff exceeded all my expectations. I was so upset and injured after I got into an accident this year. My nearly brand new car was totaled when I was t-boned. I knew my hospitals were going to be high, and I had high deductibles. My employer recommended I speak to Dean, and I am glad I did. He gave me his cell phone number and told me I could call or text him anytime. I was surprised he answered, and when he couldn’t answer right away, he had one of his other attorneys contact me. In no time, he got the full insurance policy limits from the driver that hit me and from my own insurance policy, and then he negotiated down my medical bills so I can get some money for my pain and suffering. I would definitely recommend Dean and D.R. Patti & Associates.

If you are looking for someone to represent you who is honest, trustworthy, and reliable. Sean at Lawrence C. Hill is for you! I got into a car accident and started looking for a lawyer. The chiropractor I went to referred Lawrence C. Hill to me. I'm SO HAPPY they did! Sean is who I was in contact with for everything regarding my case. He was so tentative to any and all questions I had. I would even text/call him after hours and he would still get back to me! Whatever I needed he was there to help set everything up for me. Sean made this case so easy and smooth, the only thing I had to worry about was just getting better! I feel I was being taken care of by someone who genuinely cared about me and my case. At the end, Sean/the team got me DOUBLE the amount of money I originally thought I was going to get! If you haven't already, give Sean / Lawrence C. Hill a call now! You won't regret it!

Furthermore, Mark took over the case and did an excellent job as well as Eunice and Karla. They kept me in the loop on every step of the way. Also, I was given updates via email and text messaging. They did an amazing job returning my calls when I left a message. Everyone of the team members had the recent updates on my case and I didn’t have to explain myself over and over again. They settled my case in just under 14 months. I received the maximum amount of the claim!! This is the second time Brian Blankenship represented me and received full compensation on my behalf. Thank You Everyone you all ROCK!!!!

My mother and I were involved in a head-on collision (not our fault). In the beginning, life/love challenged my mother and I to grow in charater through our experience with Mr. Murphy. After being in the accident it was difficult to stay present and trust life. The beginning interactions (w/ Mr. Murphy) challenged our patience, acceptance, character in general. Mr.Murphy was not physically in Nevada (we didnt fully realize that before) and we worked with his assistant Ms.Fisher (assistant). Our injuries and the feeling of wanting to give up tempted us to settle/give up fighting the good fight. I did not feel supported (at the beginning) by Mr.Murphy. Our first encounter on the telephone felt like a mistake. My lack of trust and lack presence in every moment made it difficult for an open/supported interaction. I did not feel good about it, but because I wanted to stop fighting the good fight of faith, I went with it. Im so glad we did. In the begining, it was difficult to answer the internal call and do what was needed to grow through this. There was not as much communication in the begining and there were a few things I questioned about our case. The more life/love offered these maximal soul growth opportunities through our interactions, the more I gave in to them. The more I gave in, the more I was able to appreciate and support the efforts of Ms. Fisher and Mr. Murphy. We worked majority with Ms. Fisher and she was such a blessing. Throughout the case, she frequently contacted us to make sure we were on the same page. When it came to dispursment, it was effortless and quicker than I expected. They did wonderful at hadling our bills that accumulated while we waited for the case to close. By the conclusion of the case, their support for our wellbeing and how to move forward was more than I could ask for. I am forever grateful to God/life for Mr. Murphy and Ms. Fisher. Thank you for this opportunity.

I was in a car accident in March of 2016, and had a lot of personal injury, broken bones, internal injury etc. Things looked bleak as the person who hit didn't seem to have any insurance, or at least didn't admit to having any insurance. Mr. Murphy tracked down her insurance and I received a settlement. I was able to pay my hospital and Dr.'s bills and still have something for me. I am very glad to have Murphy & Murphy in my corner and would hire him again.

I cannot even begin to tell you the professionalism and personalized service provided by this firm. My family was involved in a bad auto accident on 09/07/2015. Having little to no experience with legal issues it was intimidating. I retained Arizona counsel. The Arizona attorney was unable to try the case because of jurisdiction and subsequently he referred me to Craig Murphy's firm to handle my case in Nevada. Communication was efficient and concise. As per usual, big insurance company tried to bully my family so i had many questions but I never felt I was a burden at any point when I called to ask the 'silly' questions. Great advice was given potentially saving me thousands of dollars. They helped to put tragic events in my family's history and helped restore us back to a sense of normality. True professionals in their industry!! Thank you for being the good ones. Top tier representation.

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.
