This was my first time dealing with an Injury Attorney & I had no idea what to expect. David kept me in the loop since day one. I never had to wonder what was going on. He explained everything in detail & gave me what turned out to be great legal advice. Seven months after my injury David informed me today that my settlement check was being mailed out to me.
Great job David. Anyone that hires you would be doing themselves a great big favor.
TY!!!!!!!!!

We just want to express our sincere thanks to Colin Fitzgerald at Doran & Murphy. From our first conversation with Colin we felt as if he truly understood everything that we had been through. He represented our interests well and kept reassuring us that he was on our side and what we were feeling was comepletely normal and justified. Colin understood railroad law, standards and policy. We feel the communication was top notch. If we had to use just 4 words to describe Colin they would be Honest, Compassionate, Ethical and Knowledgeable. We trusted his guidance and he did not let us down. Thank you again.

Chris O’Brien (& his team) are incredibly honest people and tenacious lawyers. After working with him for ~2 years, I can confidently say they’re in this for the right reasons and you want them on your side. I was viciously attacked by a dog (leaving permanent scarring even through layers of clothing) — and the dog owners not only showed no regard for my injuries they tried every trick in the book to avoid taking any responsibility (including moving out of state after the bite was reported). Chris didn’t give up on fighting for me — and ultimately was kind enough to even waive his fees given the final settlement value. Chris truly cares about the well being of his clients, which is something you’ll need when you’re at your most vulnerable. He’s a straight shooter yet also very charismatic — I would recommend him to any of my friends & family.

Chris came highly recommended for a personal injury case from a number of people. He expressed concern for how I felt and helped me weed through referrals for doctors through my recovery. He was very patient with me and helped me understand the lengthy process of litigation. He clearly knew the ins and outs of the system and was thorough in his correspondence with me so I knew what was happening. Everyone in his office was professional and kind. I would recommend him to friends and family.

Let me start by saying that Chris and his Team are top notch professionals.
While visiting the Buffalo Niagara area I was involved in a life altering accident. After hours of research I contacted and hired Chris. Chris and his Team kept me informed, were there when I needed them , and by far exceeded my expectations with a 7 figure settlement.
If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a personal injury attorney. Contact Chris. You will not regret it.
One of the smartest decisions I have ever made was contacting The O'Brien Firm.

Jim is fantastic!!! I would not hesitate to get him again if God forbid, I ever need him again. He was always way on top of everything, got whatever needed to be done completed, answered my phone calls very promptly in emails if not by phone or in person. He has gone way above the call of duty. He claims he is not a miracle worker, but my son and I definitely disagree. He got us way more than we anticipated he would for my sons case. He came to see my son in the hospital when he was not able to go to Jim. Jim and the whole firm were very respectful at all times. If someone didn't know the answers we were looking for, we got the answers in a respectable amount of time. Jim and his team wants nothing but the best for their clients and their families, and does their best to put the client and the families at ease, even when they are freaking out. They understand the families and clients are facing the worst times of t heir lives, and they try to help the clients and families stay clam and focused and prepare for what lies ahead.

In 2013 I was involved in a severe bicycle accident caused by a motor vehicle. In cases such as this, no matter the evidence, the cards tend to be stacked heavily against the bicyclist. As an avid cyclist himself, Jim was intimately aware of the prejudice that bicyclists must face in the legal world, and took every step to overcome this and make sure that the (very high) costs of my medical treatment were covered by the appropriate parties. He also fought to obtain a sizeable settlement to cover the many additional costs associated with the accident, and won. I cannot recommend Jim highly enough!

I retained Ted Naima for legal assistance regarding an auto accident. Since the very first meeting, Ted was direct and honest about the upcoming legal process and expectations. Ted explained the litigation process is great details, collected the necessary documents, and filed the process. Ted continued to press the responded until the proper resolution of the case. Ted did not take No for an answer from the insurance company. At the end, Ted prevailed and I'm very happy with the result! Moreover, during Covid, we conducted all meetings by phone and video conference. I recommend Ted to anyone who needs a lawyer!

Well let’s start with the fact I was miss diagnosed with Breast Cancer 3 years in a row. Unfortunately my breast cancer turned into bone cancer. Stage 4 .No attorney wanted to help me not even the so called Big Firms in FL. Ted took over and he not only won the case for me. It it was more than that. He cared and he made us feel like he had our back. Never made me feel like giving up and he always fought for us. He is what an attorney is supposed to be. Thank you Mr Naima went above and beyond

I have had the privilege of being represented by attorney John Rusk and his team in a recent legal matter and I cannot express enough gratitude for their outstanding skills and dedication. John has proven to be an exceptional legal professional who not only exceeded my expectations but also achieved a favorable outcome in my case.
From the moment I met john his professionalism and expertise were evident, but most importantly he made me feel comfortable. He took the time to thoroughly understand the details of my situation and patiently listened to my concerns while almost immediately taking action, ensuring I remained informed and confident throughout the process.
John’s attention to detail and strategic thinking was crucial in building a strong case. His knowledge of the law and his ability to apply it effectively in my case was nothing short of remarkable.
One aspect that truly set John apart was his genuine compassion and empathy, he understands the emotional and physical toll the legal process can have on clients and he consistently demonstrated his support and understanding. The ability to provide reassurance and keep my spirits high during challenging moments were invaluable.
It is with great pleasure that I can say john delivered an overwhelmingly positive outcome in my case. I have trusted John with each of his decisions and suggestions from start to finish. Thanks to his efforts and expertise I was able to achieve the result I had hoped for. I’d also like to thank his assistant Cynthia who was very diligent throughout the process and a pleasure to work with.
If you are in need of a highly skilled and compassionate attorney who will go above and beyond to secure a favorable outcome, I wholeheartedly recommend John.
I will forever be grateful to John for his support and I am confident that anyone who seeks his services will be in the most capable hands.
Thank you john for being a true game- changer in my case.
Sincerely
Nathaniel

Scott Wiss superbly represented me in a rear end car accident case this year and with much persistence he won me the maximum on the policy. He also represented me in a Slip and Fall case in 2012, I received a six figure settlement. It was a pleasure to have Scott represent me. I always felt he would get the best possible settlement. Being permanently disabled was a real financial stress. Scott's persistence and professionalism enabled me to focus on my medical treatment and not stress or worry about the outcome of the case. I am so grateful that our families' real estate/estate lawyer referred me to Scott. Both cases were settled through arbitration which saved me the physical and emotional stress of sitting in court. I never needed to call Scott and worry about the outcome of the cases. I always felt we were on the same team and Scott was a star quarterback!

I knew as soon as I retained Mr. Frederick that he was an excellent lawyer, but I had no idea how gifted he was until he took my case to trial. It has been quite a few years since my case was in Court but I still remember vividly just how wonderful Mr. Frederick was in the courtroom. He has the unique ability to rip apart a witness for the other side in a respectful and courteous way which is very effective for the jury. I recommend Mr. Frederick highly.

Our mother was diagnosed with mesothelioma in February 2017. It was an extremely difficult time for our family. We were recommended to Mr. Williams through a friend who had a family member also diagnosed with mesothelioma. Mr. Williams met my mother in the hospital and stayed in contact with her two daughters, and husband. The Williams Law Firm does a wonderful job keeping the family members in the loop of what occurs with the case. Mesothelioma is a horrible disease that people shouldn’t have. Mr. Williams and his diligent team helped our father to receive justice for a disease our mother never should have been diagnosed with. We recommend Mr. Williams and his team for anyone who needs to deal with mesothelioma or any asbestos case. They are extremely professional and hardworking.

In the Fall of 2017 our family retained The Williams Law Firm to represent a member of our family. Mr. Williams took time to visit our home to explain the entire process at the same time answering questions or concerns expressed by the family. During the entire legal process Mr. Williams and his staff kept our family informed, always communicating with us at a level we could all understand. In the final days of my father-in-laws life, Mr Williams became a trusted family friend and adviser as well as our attorney. His recommendations and advice were given to us as if he were part of our family. There are not sufficient stars available for our family to adequately rate the services of The Williams Law Firm that were provided.

Shahriar Kashanian was a great attorney and I am so happy to have hired him for my accident case. He never stopped fighting for me. He stands by his clients and fights to do the very best for them. I would recommend him to anyone who was injured in an accident.
Read more
27 Jun, 2021 by Gregory
Mr. Shahriar, fought for me above and beyond call of duty.
In May 2020 amid the stress of the coronavirus shut down, I went for a Saturday morning motorcycle ride and a breath of fresh air.
After an oncoming car crossed double yellow lines and nearly amputated my leg, we learned that insurance companies tend to believe car drivers over Motorcyclists.
14 months and 12 surgeries later I will eventually walk again. However, it looked like that was going to cost my family everything.
Both insurance companies were claiming it was my fault in spite of evidence to the contrary. Even the famous "motorcycle lawyers" wouldn't take the case since it was just my word against theirs.
Both companies ended up paying out the maximum.
But that's not the end of the of the story. At this point most lawyers would've taken their cut and gone home.
But that's not what happened.
It turns out Medicare doesn't pay for motorcycle accidents and were coming after me for every bit of it. This last bit was not even in his purview.
Nonetheless, Shahriar went to work on them for months even though that was not part of our contract but just because in his own words "it's just the right thing to do".
I don't know if he eventually convinced them of that or if they gave in so he would stop following up with them every day. Either way, they accepted a greatly reduced payment.
I hope you never need to, but if you ever get in a situation where you need someone to fight for you like "a bulldog on a pant leg" and never give up because that's the right thing to do, I highly recommend Mr. Shahriar Kashanian. He won't let you down.

Mr. Gropper represented me in a personal injury lawsuit which was settled to my satisfaction in 2012.
I respect his integrity and honesty and was impressed with how he continued to inform me of what was taking place with my case as he learned it. I did not have to go to court at all and the suit was settled within 6 months of my instituting the initial action.

When it comes to Personal Injury law...do not look any further Brendan Ahern! Thanks to Brendan and the firm, I just had a long awaited victory. Brendan's prep, attention to detail and his genuine care and concern resulted in a very quick and unanimous verdict! The jury members were very verbal about Brendan's talking points and reasonable summation being the reason they were able to bring about justice so effortlessly. Brendan spent so much time with me that he absorbed and relayed everything about the accident along with my pain and suffering on my day in court as if he was there beside me during the accident thru to trial! I had my day in court with confidence and assurance that I was in the best hands possible! Brendan M. Ahern did not disappoint!

Mike Horgan made the closing of our house seamless. We were worried that Covid would cause issues. Mike and Maria handled everything for us and took the time to explain and walk us through anything we didn't understand. I can't say it loud enough....if you are buying/selling a house these are the people you want on your side.

My daughter was the victim of medical malpractice and went through a horrifying ordeal for several years. Jeffrey was one of the only bright spots in her life over that time. Always available to hear our concerns or give advice, often on issues that had nothing to do with our case. Our family will always be grateful for not only the financial reward, but his support and friendship in our time of need.

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.
