Great Law firm that specializes in auto accidents. He explained the process well and his paralegal was very kind and helpful! I recommended him to other close friends and family!

Atty. Siegel was recommended by a good friend when I had an injury. I met up with him virtually to discuss my case and found him to be very professional, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. He walked me thru the entire process and explained every step that we will take so I can make appropriate decisions. His paralegal, Sheila, is also as respectful, professional, and communicates regularly to update me on where we are on the case. Overall, I am very satisfied on the services I received. I highly recommend Atty. Siegel and his law office to anyone looking for professional services. Thank you Atty. Siegel and Sheila!

I am a personal injury attorney who practices in New York. I have referred family, friends and clients to Scott Leonard for more than 20 years. He is hard-working, highly skilled and very attentive to his client’s needs. And most importantly, he gets great results. I strongly recommend Scott if you are in need of a personal injury attorney in New Jersey.

Scott and Janell are absolutely amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable and experienced, which made an unfamiliar process much easier. Scott truly cares about his clients, and goes above and beyond to get the best results for them. His emotional intelligence is also exceptional, which is comforting during difficult times. I could not recommend this team more!!!

Scott, Janell, and the team that worked on my case, THANK YOU!!! There are not enough words to express how appreciative I am for your professionalism and compassion. I was treated as if I was their only client. This was a personal injury case, and they exceeded my expectations. Thank you!!!

His hard work and dedication to my case has helped us to win, and even have an article written in a Legal News Publication, as my case made it to the Appellate Division. I highly recommend Michael as he is dedicated, responsive, professional and takes the time to go over the process and what could be expected. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to be in my corner fighting for what was right.

I just want to thank Ciro & his best efforts on my case and I’m glad to say that I am very content, he went above and beyond for our motor vehicle collision. The other party that hit us didn’t have an absolute thing (license, registration, etc. ) but Ciro fought and made sure my mother and I received a decent amount! It was a little wait but that’s to be expected, but he continuously made sure we were fine and grabbed every little information he needed to make sure our process went smoothly. Thank you so much and we appreciate you and your team !!

26 Nov, 2019 by Rosalyn

It was truly an honor to have Attorney James M. Clancy to represent me with my Workman's Comp Injury that I sustained at my work place. Once I was introduced to his law firm and contacted Mr. Clancy he immediated setup a consultation meeting with me to go over the injury that occured on my job. He immediately started the ball rolling by instructing me on each step that I had to take to get my injury taken care of as soon as possible. He directed me to a doctor that would examine the injury and make sure I would get the proper treatment, to which surgery was needed to help correct the problem I was having. Everytime I needed to talk to him, he made himself available to me. If he wasn't available when I called he would make sure to return my call if I had any concerns. We shared information constantly. Everytime I had a doctor appointment, surgery that was needed, various treatments or therapy it was documented for my lawsuit. He handled my case very professionally and made sured he kept me informed about how everything was going with my case. He fought hard to get me compensation for my pain and suffering not once but twice after my case was reopened do to continued suffering from my injury. I truly would recommend Mr. Clancy for others to acquire his legal services when their injured on the job.

The team at Andrew F. Garruto, Attorney at Law was courteous and worked diligently to resolve my case. I was pleased with the outcome. I was satisfied with the communication and how they prepared me for the next steps. They were responsive, had great listening skills, and were knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend this law firm, Andrew F. Garruto, Attorney at Law.

01 Nov, 2022 by John

From the moment I telephoned Mr. Garruto after my motor vehicle accident to the resolution of the legal matter, I was nothing other than quite pleased with the Law Offices of Garruto & Calabria. Andy met with me following the accident and immediately assisted me with managing my health and automobile insurance issues, ensuring I received the best health care and treatment for my injuries and that my vehicle was repaired without delay. I don’t believe the average person is aware of the complex laws and rules regarding civil litigation. Familiar with the path of litigation, Andy’s knowledge, patience and forward thinking were of great asset in the resolution of my matter. Andy kept me abreast of developments and explained the ‘who, what, why and when’ of the issues as they arose. I never felt in the dark or without understanding of what was occurring. Every communication I had with the Law Offices of Garruto & Calabria was met with a courteous and professional response. If Andy was not immediately available, calls were promptly returned and emails quickly answered. I honestly believe that were it not for the care and compassion of Andy Garruto, regardless of his exceptional legal mind, I would not have been able to navigate the difficulties and confusion caused by insurance companies, adversary counsel, medical professionals, auto repair facilities, etc. Andy’s calm hand guided me through the torrent of legal chaos. His sound legal mind navigated the way and brought the event to a favorable conclusion.

28 Aug, 2022 by Raishah

I want to say, Andy Garruto took over my accident case almost 3yrs ago, and he did more than what I expected with my my settlement. He is super nice, patient and works hard to get his clients a good amount. His office staff is amazing and I would reccomend him as an attorney to anyone. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Andy for everything!!

His staff were truly kind at all times. Any questions I had Mr. Andrew never hesitated in answering and clearing any doubts. He made sure I was aware of how the case was being handled step by step. Very trustworthy person to care for you and your needs. I recommend him to defend and fight for your case.

From my initial consultation with Andrew I knew I’d made the correct choice. Through every phase of my case I was represented with the utmost professionalism and expertise, never handed over to staff, and Andrew was there for me personally whenever needed. I can’t say enough good about this experience, his guidance and the support of his entire staff made this difficult situation totally manageable with an outcome beyond expectations. Thank you Andrew, you’re a good hearted, honest, and above all an expert attorney who fought tirelessly for me at every stage of my case. I would absolutely recommend Andrew to others without a second thought!

Mark McMenamy is a skillful attorney who represented me in a personal injury law suit. His diligence and expertise produced and excellent result for me! If you are in search of a personal injury attorney I would highly recommend Mark ....

21 Dec, 2020 by Russell

Mark represented me in a negligence/personal injury case, where I slipped and fell on a wet floor in a supermarket, requiring extensive rotator cuff repair and shoulder reconstruction surgery. The facts were clear, though the defense argued that the negligence was mine, in falling on their premise. Mark was thorough and tenacious in his representation of me, and fact-based presentation of my case, and 18 months later, negotiated a fair and equitable settlement, on my behalf. I would use Mark again, should the need arise, and I would recommend him unconditionally, and without reservation.

07 Jul, 2020 by Anonymous

Mark McMenamy is an exceptional attorney who I would hire again without any hesitation. I retained Mark to represent me in several different, yet related cases over several years, one of which was a wrongful death claim that turned out very well. Mark is personable and very easy to work with. He explained each step of the process clearly and in detail, told me what to expect, and always kept me well informed of the status of my cases. Mark was always available to answer my questions, and provide his professional advice. He also carefully prepared and thoughtfully studied all aspects and angles of my cases. I’m extremely happy with Mark’s representation and so grateful for all he has done to support and help my family! I would highly recommend Mark to handle any type of injury or wrongful death claim.

Adam Rothenberg represented me after a careless driver turned left, violating my right of way, causing me serious physical injury. He was referred to me by a trusted attorney/friend and his fine reputation was known by other friends who were aware of my need for a lawyer. Adam came to my Rehab Center for an initial consultation, as did his competitors, and impressed us as knowledgeable and thorough. He explained the parameters and reasons for his recommended course of action and followed through until the claim was settled relatively quickly and the best outcome available.

My family and I do believe he was a blessing from god! Thanks Mr. Thompson you’d be happy to know my son is now 26 months! And I have a 10 month daughter now! And never had another day in court since!!

Attorney Ronald Thompson and his team are excellent! At first I was second guessing myself about hiring an attorney for a traffic ticket, but after speaking with one of his staff members I was given appropriate information on what they do. They will do everything they can to get the very best outcome. They will keep you updated on your case by calling or emailing you with any information they have. They offer a reasonable price. I highly recommend hiring Attorney Ronald Thompson and his team to help you get your ticket dismissed!

If you are reading this review, you are obviously searching for a lawyer that stands out from the rest. You have pain, questions, concerns, fear, stress etc. and need help NOW! I felt that way until I meet Mike. Since then, my interactions with Mike have been consistently professional and respectful. He has maintained open, honest and prompt communication with me. He has extensive knowledge of the law in his area of expertise and is thorough in maximizing resources one is entitled too. He works diligently, strategically and fights for your rights. He is also supported by a team of other lawyers and administrative staff who "get the job done". So, if you want a lawyer who is "top notch", give Mike a call. You will be glad you did. He's the "BEST" of the best.

When Garry Salomon took on my case about five years ago, little did I know that it was to be a long and arduous journey. I worked or communicated mostly with his staff who kept me informed of the new developments on the case. Suffice it to say, this review should be my way of saying thank you hoping that someone looking for a good lawyer may read this, and come to your firm for legal advise and or representation. Well, when all is said and done,it was the dedication, team work, perseverance and the never say die attitude that saw us through the case. A lot of thanks to Garry Salomon, and his staff members many of whom I may not have met, but I know for a fact that they too worked tirelessly behind the scenes, doing paperwork and making phone calls on my behalf. May God bless you all . Sincerely, Patrick Ondondo, Satisfied Client.

If you are looking for an attorney that possess strength, knowledge, perseverance and personal commitment, then you need Mr. Musmanno and his staff! I have had the privilege of being Mr. Musmanno's client on several occasions. In retrospect, he's been the only attorney I've ever consulted with since my early 20's. He is who, I consider my attorney. He has been the attorney, that has always made me feel comfortable, even when faced with a very difficult, emotional situation. Words cannot express the type of professionalism that Mr. Musmanno and his staff have given us in our time of need. Not only does he deeply care about his cases, he cared about me as a person. I'll also have you know that Mr. Musmanno commuted a great distance from his main office to do my closing on my house. My husband and I will be forever grateful for him going out and beyond for us. I would never hesitate to recommend Mr. Musmanno and his team, for anybody looking for a high quality legal firm that also has a very personal touch in the making. Thanks again for all your hard work...

Have you ever been hurt? The kind of hurt where you can't walk or care for your family properly?... Well I have. And let me tell you it is scary. And it's even more scary when the reason you were hurt is because someone was negligent. What do you do? Knowing life would never be the same... lingering pain, physical limitations... and what's worse is that it could happen to someone else at any moment. That's how I felt. I walked in to Mr. Musmanno's office not knowing what to expect. I had never met with an attorney for anything and I was scared. By the end of that first meeting I knew everything would be ok. Chris (as he told me to call him instead of Mr. Musmanno) explained everything in plain language. He walked me through all the steps of the legal process. And he succeeded in giving my family something we never had... enough money to start over, physical limitations and all. Nothing will change my scars. But I don't look at them the same anymore. And I have Chris to thank for that.

Mr. Musmanno took the time with me to go over all the points of my case. Any questions or concerns that I had were always answered in a timely manner. I felt confident in my choice of Mr. Musmanno as my attorney. I only have good things to say about Mr. Musmanno and his staff.

My divorce was not an easy one by any means. The other party did not want to be a participate in the process that she initiated, be fair financially, and was in character throughout the two and half yr process. Veronica weeded through this from minute one. Veronica jumped on board in my case more than halfway through the process from the recommendation of my previous attorney to get my case resolved. There is a reason he recommended her. Veronica was forceful and stern during the negotiations(mediation) with the other party and was always looking out for my best interests financially which included doing everything possible from the first day I spoke to her to avoid trial which is where my case was headed. The reason for the referral from my previous attorney. During one of most difficult times of your life, Veronica attempted to understand everything on a personal/emotional level as well beyond the business aspect of divorce. Veronica is extremely knowledgeable of the NJ laws of divorce which is so important. She is professional, cordial, assertive, and great at explaining things/answering questions. Veronica also will hold you accountable if she needs to which is important in this process. The firm in Springfield is professional and welcoming; which is includes her paralegal Diana O who I would like to acknowledge as well. In divorce, no one wins or loses. My JOD was fair and equitable at the end of the day which is what should have happened. Veronica accomplished that for me with honesty and sincerity from day one. Five star review.

We hired David and never looked back! Sometimes life can throw curve balls at you, having the right law firm makes all the difference. No matter where we were in the process, we always knew that Dave, Bill and the entire team had our back. During moments of uncertainty, knowing our lawyer was a phone call a way made a huge difference. We never felt like just another client, we were always treated like we were their most important clients.

David Wright is not a relative and I don't know where he lives, etc. However, I called him (he is local and sought him out via internet) for advice. He treated me with courtesy, trust, respect and guidance. I wish to remain anonymous for personal reasons. I give him 6 gold stars! And I highly recommend him in re: any concerns one may have as per his area of expertise. Mr. David "Wright" is the "right" lawyer to those who need legal assistance. I HIGHLY recommend him!

02 Nov, 2016 by Matt

David helped my family with a contractor dispute over a faulty furnace installation. He was very knowledgeable about the potential legal options to be pursued but more importantly, he understood the personal side of the matter. He wound up getting the contractor to replace the furnace with a new system even though this was not the most lucrative outcome for him personally. I would highly recommend David.

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.

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.
