I am very pleased with how Attorney Mark Dean handled my claim. He is very knowledgeable, patient, persistence and it only took a little over a year to get my claim approved. I haven't received my award yet but just knowing its coming, I am happy.

I was pulled over at the end of October by state troopers for speeding,and an expired registration. Long story short the trooper smelled alcohol on my breath and I was arrested. I refused a breathalyzer test so they took my license away. I was referred to Mr. Waldbaum, and in about 2 months we came to an agreement that I would do a continuance without finding. He was able to drop my speeding charge as well as the expired registration charge. And he helped me get my 12 hour hardship license so I can continue to work. I was very satisfied with my attorney and I highly recommend his work!

We were referred to Matt Marcus almost 15 years ago to assist in the estate planning for my parents and we have been clients ever since for our own estate planning and Trust needs. Our family have continued to recommend him to friends and colleagues as there is no one better matched to help them as he gives prompt, individualized and compassionate attention to their specific situation. If you are seeking guidance with your own estate needs or for that of a family member, please look no further and schedule an appointment with Matt Marcus as you will not be disappointed!

Attorney Matt Marcus was recommended to me by a family member. I had been procrastinating in getting my Will and Trust done, knowing it was needed sooner than later, as I have a disabled adult son. I'm so glad for the referral because Matt took the stress off me. He's so knowledgeable, professional and patient. He took all the time I needed explaining the documents to me. I'm confident that I made the right choice with Matt as my attorney for my Will and Trust; and would highly recommend him to others.

He promptly responded to my request to meet, including rescheduling after I cancelled for a family issue, and met me with a smile, attention and great advice. I have since applied that advice and noticed immediate results! Whether you are a client in need of representation or an attorney looking for an insightful prospective on what to do next, you should do yourself a favor and reach out to Attorney Early.

I asked a friend as I was facing a hard time, and was looking for an experienced immigration attorney. She told me that she knew a few, but Jan Albrecht had already assisted her brother and so she suggested me to address him. I couldn't thank her more! From the first time, Jan's responses were direct and to the point. He told me that my case was not an easy one, but we would fight together. And indeed, he did so, he fought as if he was I. We had a very satisfying cooperation, where he was calm enough to instruct me properly, and his confident and cool attitude to the case smoothed my anxiety too. He has amazing professionalism and intelligence, to identify the strong and weak points of everyone's case and decide the appropriate steps to the success. However, he is receptive to his client's opinion, and doesn't act on his own. The results of our cooperation were amazing, as we overturned a situation that, to be honest, I didn't even know how many chances of success had. To conclude, I was absolutely delighted to cooperate with Jan Albrecht, and I am perfectly sure that he will continue to make his lucky clients happy.

I felt very reassured I was going to be in good hands based on my consultation with Tyler. He is very responsive. It’s very reassuring to know you don’t have to wait days to hear back from your attorney. Tyler was always in office when I called and he is quicker with emails if you decided to email instead. Tyler definitely fought and represented me until the end, and I can’t say I was ever disappointed choosing him as my legal attorney. I also work at a law firm myself and it proves Tyler takes passion in what he does for his clients. I am going to refer him to my family in friends if they shall ever need his services.

From my first call I had the opportunity to talk directly with Tyler and he took his time to listen about my case and offered me an appointment for the next day. From that first appointment I felt very comfortable because I could see he has real interest trying to understand my case and putting the time to review all the documents I had. After that he communicated in an efficient and on time manner when he had any relevant updates about the case (without me having to call him for that). And if I had something to tell him or consult he was available and replied quick. Finally he managed to get the results we have discussed without delays. So for all this amazing service I am extremely grateful and I recommend him and the firm to any person that might have a case and is looking for assistance and guidance. Thanks a lot Tyler!

Their communication was excellent, and they demonstrated incredible competence. Heather always made sure to keep me updated as she communicated between insurance companies and advocated for my claim. When she wasn't available, I was able to speak with others at Parker Scheer, who provided advice and followed up on any questions I had. I highly recommend this law firm and hope to work with them again if I ever need.

Heather Boutet did an outstanding job pursuing and getting a settlement for me. I was a victim of a car crash. The insurance company for the responsible party wasn’t cooperating. Ms. Boutet did research, figured out what the problem was on their end, and confronted them. When they still didn’t step up, she aggressively pursued a higher settlement. And got it! I am very grateful and recommend her to anyone in the unfortunate position of needing legal help.

Very early in my career, my professional reputation and financial future were all turned upside down by the actions of a trusted employer.   I was blindsided, unfamiliar with my rights and overwhelmed by magnitude of what had taken place. I just wanted to put my head in sand and accept the circumstances no matter how unjustly I was treated. I was simply frozen. A family member insisted I contact Allison and despite my initial apprehensions I made the call and will be forever grateful that I did. Allison was not only empathetic, but clear and direct. Allison set a level of expectation and then exceeded it through her thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. I was so nervous throughout the entire process, but Allison made it a point to to check in and make sure she was alway in my corner. If you ever find yourself in a circumstance seeking an expert attorney in employment law Allison should be your first and only call.

If someone could say my attorney saved my life they would be talking to me. After years of frustration with fighting with my insurance company in being unfair to my livelihood, Attorney Feinberg treated me as if I was his little brother and threw the weight of his office against my insurance company that wanted me to suffer and literally saved my life.

Barry Feinstein & his staff was exceptional to work with. Our son was hit by a vehicle suffering multiple injuries while riding a dirt bike, we had no idea where to begin with trying to get compensation for our child. Barry was referred to us by a friend and it was the best call we made! Barry went above and beyond our expectations in getting our son a settlement for pain and suffering that far exceeded our expectations as well as making sure we were not left with one medical bill. We are happy to say our son’s settlement is on its way and all medical bills are paid! We highly recommend Barry to anyone that is in need of legal representation if in an accident or otherwise! Thank you Barry! Laura & Joe Tewksbury, MA

I've been a client of Dan's for over a year now. Dan dug so deep into my case, within the first month, he made discoveries that my previous lawyer (who I was with for over a year) didn't even look into. Dan and Billie leave no stone unturned. Billie is amazing at organizing information and breaking things down in a way that it doesn't feel so overwhelming. They took care of getting all of my records and thoroughly learning about my case. You don't feel like just a client at Malis Law. Dan is incredibly knowledgeable and gifted at breaking down legal jargon so it is easily understood. Dan and Billie have gone above and beyond, to make me feel at ease and confident that I am in great hands. I would (and do) recommend Malis Law to anyone dealing with a legal issue. It's a scary world I was completely unfamiliar with until someone recommended that I give Dan a call. It was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I could have made for myself.

Attorney Malis took my case and from day one organized what needs to be done. After numerous attempts to get my insurance information by me. Dan was able to cut through the bull and got it done in one phone call. He gave me the confidence to keep up the fight until it was resolved amicably.. I highly recommended him to anyone who needs a personal attorney.

Marc was there for my family in the darkest time in our life. Tragedy struck our family suddenly after a minor hospital procedure ended in the loss of my husband's life. Marc came highly recommended by a colleague and now I know why. From the very beginning the advice he gave me was instrumental in the successful outcome. His knowledge and experience was clear to me through the whole process. He took the time to see the picture of our family before our loss and after. A life like my husbands can never be replaced ...thank you Marc Breakstone for being the fighter our family needed!

Marc Breakstone provided more comfort and a peace of mind than I could have ever imagined. A little over a year ago, I was in a very serious taxi accident as a passenger- and almost 5 months pregnant. I was petrified for the health of my baby. I was completely overwhelmed with having to undergo a spinal fusion because my back was broken over several L sections. And I had an 11 month old at home that I could no longer take care of on my own. We had literally just bought a house 5 months before, and that accident literally caused my family's world to crumble. And if you are in a similar boat, you can relate- I have never felt so helpless and depressed, I needed to find a lawyer ASAP that I could trust with the well being and future security of my family. I was literally boggled of where to begin, as I have never been involved in a law suit before. And insurance contracts/ lingo/ etc was just so foreign to me. I found 4 lawyers total that I read reviews on from the internet OR was recommended by family friends. I found Marc on some Google search- and that made me a tad nervous because I am a little more "old school" than that. However, I called his office and after speaking to him directly ( which was literally about 5 min after I called, he returned my message )....I instantly felt at ease with him. There is something about his personality that is very direct, yet patient with explaining options/ the law/ advice. Marc was also willing to talk to my husband and a family friend who has legal background from another state trying to help me. So, I conservatively met with him and 3 other lawyers in person, and Marc was the only one I felt was both "down to earth" and at the same time extremely aggressive/passionate when it came to ensuring that my claim was heard properly by the parties concerned. We chose Marc to represent me, and I am SO HAPPY we did. Let me tell you this- If you want somebody that is approachable- choose Marc. If you want someone who will fight for you like he has known you for your whole life, choose Marc. And if you understand that you need someone who is that bit aggressive/confident in making his point, on your behalf, choose Marc. My husband felt that Marc would be a "lion in the ring " for us. Also, I want to add that I live in NYC...I was hit in MA during a weekend away. So I was nervous having the distance away from someone who is representing me. If by chance that is you- dont worry about it. Marc is literally so accessible. I also dont feel like I could write this review without mentioning- Christine Roberts. Marc's executive assistant is a rock star. She reflects his standards of extreme professionalism with a streak of warmth. I could keep writing about all the positive experiences I had along the way with Marc, but I will sum it up this way. A very hormonal pregnant woman, with a baby at home, was hit by a taxi and had to undergo a 7 hour spinal fusion surgery, learn how to walk again, and deal with the pain of the accident/surgery thoughout her pregnancy while accepting the fact she could no longer lift her one year old at home, bathe him, clean up after him etc. ** I am writing this review about one year from the accident and post settlement. I am still so incredibly emotional about that night and everything that happened....But I am still a bit proud that during this complete disaster and at times, what I honestly thought was depression and a breakdown mentally, I was still able to see that Marc would fight for me. And he did. And he will for you. He is just so passionate about his job...and you will come to see glimpses of his personal life that you know this is just a good guy. I look at my daughter now and I thank god for my neuro team, my OB team, and my lawyer. While my doctors really provided such wonderful physical care...Marc was really there as a rock- I let put all my anxiety on his shoulders and he delivered back a secure future. He will forever be part of our family story now.

I hired Marc after another lawyer wasn't really spending the time or attention to my case that I felt comfortable with. When I spoke to Marc the very first time on the phone, I thought, "This guy is tough and attentive!" From our first conversation until the successful outcome of my mediations and settlement, I could not have asked for better, more thorough, and tough representation. I read a review on this very site and that lead me to Marc Breakstone. The positive things people say are right on the money. He told me to focus on my healing and health and leave the lawyering to him. I needed that assurance because I had 5 surgeries in just over a year, and was dealing with disability for the first time and I was in an enormous amount of pain. His strength allowed me to let it go and focus on my health. The case was settled in mediation and it was a very positive outcome. Thank you Marc, Christine Roberts and Reza Breakstone. I am forever grateful for your hard work, expertise and dedication. I would recommend you to anyone that needed representation after an injury and facing big insurance. You gave a voice and a face to my case and you made them look at the facts. Grateful.

Their timeliness with contacting me on anything, whether I was sending an email, or by phone blew me away with how rapid their responses were. Not only did they settle my case quickly, but fought to get more money for me in the end. I would highly recommend Attorney Gallucci to anyone who may need an upcoming lawyer.

I mearly called for a consultation, I don't know whether this attorney was having a bad day or something else is going on or perhaps he was preoccupied, but the level of attention to detail on a potential case Even if he was listening at all, yes I understand you couldn't even take the case yet you have a tactfully poor representation of your law firm. Once again so we can be clear Yes I understand yes !!!!! I understand your not going to be able to take the case nor do you have to provide reason but asking a general question of what my options are , should have been handled more appropriately . you offer free consultation. I respect the type of attorney that you can hear in their voice no matter what the answer is They were delighted to handle your situation as best as they possibly could have. I call it having a good bedside manner. Yet I was brutally disconnected cut off and left hanging and I guess that's how you tell the difference between a solid lawyer that gives a crap about his clients potential clients and ones that are just ambulance chasers wanting to make a quick buck. There are millions of lawyers on this site And you should be truly grateful that people decided to hire you to take on their cases . Because if it wasn't for them you wouldn't even have a practice . I'm not angry. I've served my country for 8 years in the United States Navy and the college graduate with the background and engineering . An I studied quite a bit of law I felt like it was being put down or something . Although I laugh it off because I have thick skin , give you no excuse to represent yourself in the form and fashion that you represented yourself to me . I'm just offering constructive criticism to you sir. With all due respect work on your bedside manner because it's pretty crappy .I rest my case with the situation.

Their team approach is great, and I know they all listened to me because in court the litigation team mentioned every single thing I told them I was concerned about, and in a very precise and professional way. I was amazed by how well they were in front of the Judge. Needles to say, I won my case. Incredible! Great Law firm!

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You

A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.

If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.

When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:

  • Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
  • Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
  • Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
  • Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
  • Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
  • Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.

Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.

What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?

A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
  • Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
  • Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
  • Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
  • Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.

How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?

Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.

It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
  • Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.

Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.

Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer

Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. What types of damages can I recover?
    Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
  • Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
  • Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
  • Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
  • Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
  • List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
  • Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.

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