I was injured in a cycling accident and Todd and his team at Restivo and Murphy did a great job representing me. They went the extra mile, dealing with a particularly difficult defendant that constantly dragged its feet to make it as difficult as possible, hoping that we would give up. Todd never let the defendant off the hook. It was because of Todd's persistence and expertise that we received a fair settlement. Todd and his team were incredibly friendly, patient, and always available to answer questions. I strongly recommend Restivo and Murphy.

Restivo and Murphy is an amazing law firm for any and all of your legal matters. Joe Parise and Vanessa were absolutely wonderful! They were efficient, kind, and professional. We had a great experience with the firm and would highly recommend them to anyone.

08 Aug, 2024 by Sarah gerges

I had the pleasure of working with Joe & Vanessa on my case and I couldn’t ask for a more perfect duo. They both helped guide me through a very scary and confusing time, keeping me in the loop about everything. They made sure I was able to focus on my healing process and worked with me every step of the way. The entire team always happily greeted me, took time to explain things to me and answered all of my questions with a smile. I am forever thankful to Joe, Vanessa and the entire team 🫶🏼

I can’t say enough good things about Cory Dalmata. He’s helped me on countless situations pertaining to my son and custody & a couple of other matters as well. Everything he has advised me on he was always 100% spot on . Cory is a straight shooter and will tell you exactly how it is. He’s very fast to respond to phone calls & emails. He’s always been quick to get things done and will fight tooth and nail for his clients . One of the many things that I respect about Cory is he will always talk of the importance of co-parenting and when possible court should be a last resort. Great attorney great human being! Will use Cory and his firm for any legal matters that I may have in the future . Thank you again Cory for everything Alex

Brian was very helpful when my partner and I got into an accident. He not only guided us through the legal proceedings of the case, but he assisted in referring me to a convenient physical therapist in my area. Accidents aren't a good time for anyone, but he made sure to contact us and make sure to keep us updated on how everything was moving along.

10 May, 2024 by Mirlyne oriental

From the beginning, they showed genuine concern and work with me. They answered all my questions and addressed my worries. They were always working to get me a decent settlement. Brian, Adam and Tom are the best. I want to thank them and their team for all their help. To them it's not business because they really showed they care.

10 May, 2024 by Nicole samuel

I called to get some legal advice. Once the attorney advised "no money in family cases" the call was cut short with no legal advice at all. It just had a very cold feel to the call and if a law firm is dealing with victims they should be more self aware of their tone and handling. I only gave it a 2 star because the website was helpful with some information. But the customer experience from the first call with the front desk to Bryan was not a great experience at all. Rushed, cut short.

I reached out to the firm due to a rear end car accident. Everyone from the receptionist to the attorneys are very professional, and very courteous. They are very prompt to return to any questions or concerns you have. The attorney that I had was Mike Bersani and he was well experienced and gave me the best options in my case. He was very detailed and thorough when looking through the case, and provided more than an expert experience. I highly suggest going with this firm if you have any injuries in the future as I will if I have any unforeseen events.

I retained Moore Kuehn for a shareholder derivative case after my company stock lost substantial value. Justin Kuehn explained the shareholder derivative process up front and filed our case right away. They kept me updated with the case status and got me an incentive fee. Great firm for a shareholder derivative case!

Do not use this company they are a scam he promised to lower my taxes and he did not do what was supposed to be done. He told me he was going to lower my tax by a significant amount and he failed to do so. I was originally paying 13k in taxes he dropped it by 300 dollars a year and trued charging me 1800 for that. Do not use them they are horrible!!!!!

Watching so many of William Mattar’s funny commercials, I never thought I’d be needing the assistance of his office. My son made the call for me as I lay in the trauma unit at Rochester’s Strong Memorial Hospital after a car crash close to my home on Christmas morning 2023. The folks at the Law office were kind, considerate, efficient, and checked in on me frequently. The case had a very good resolution and I’m very pleased with the results. I’d recommend William Mattar’s Office to anyone in a serious car accident. These people work for YOU.

I highly recommend Lever & Ecker for their exceptional professionalism and support. During my initial consultation, the staff demonstrated remarkable empathy and understanding of my situation. Although my case fell outside their area of expertise, they diligently followed up to ensure my well-being and provided valuable information relevant to my case. Their commitment to going above and beyond in assisting me, even when they could not represent me, was truly impressive. The care and consideration shown by the team surpassed my expectations. I am sincerely grateful for their assistance.

I had the privilege of working with Johnmack as my lawyer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he was aggressive in ensuring that those responsible for what happened to me were held fully accountable. He didn't back down and fought tirelessly on my behalf. What truly sets Johnmack apart, though, is his sensitivity and understanding of my circumstances. He was incredibly patient with me, especially during the toughest moments when I felt overwhelmed and ready to give up. His unwavering support and encouragement were invaluable, and I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared. If you need a lawyer who is not only a fierce advocate but also deeply compassionate and supportive, look no further than Johnmack. I am beyond grateful for everything he has done for me, and I HIGHLY recommend his services.

I would highly recommend Derrick Spatorico for his willingness to take on such an anomalous case, the resourcefulness displayed throughout the undertaking of our cause, regular status updates and communication, his strong attention to detail, and being results oriented. He is a very personable attorney who has his client’s best interests at heart.

Chris is an excellent and knowledgeable lawyer! He took on my case with a very difficult property manager who refused to return my security deposit without showing me the rental townhome first. I met with Chris on a Wednesday and on the next day Thursday, Chris said that the property manager agreed to return my security deposit. Chris was extremely efficient and prompt with handling my case! I highly recommend Chris who is a very professional and understanding lawyer!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jason Bassett as my attorney, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first meeting, Jason stood out for his professionalism and genuine approach. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I was always informed and comfortable with the decisions being made. What truly impressed me was his personal touch. Jason made me feel like more than just a client; he treated me like a valued partner in my case. He was always accessible, promptly answering my questions and addressing my concerns with patience and clarity. This level of communication made a potentially stressful situation much easier to navigate. Jason's expertise and dedication were evident throughout. He fought tirelessly for my interests and went above and beyond to achieve a favorable outcome. His attention to detail and strategic thinking set him apart from others in the field. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also genuinely cares about his clients, look no further than Jason Bassett. He is an exceptional advocate, and I am incredibly grateful for the support he provided during this journey. Thank you, Jason!

I had an unfortunate event happen in my life were the police were called and ultimately had an order of protection called an E.R.P.O put against myself. Never being in trouble with the law I was nervous. I was refereed to Jason Bassett. I am so glad I decided to work with him as the police officer told the story of what happen in such a mixed up way Jason Bassett was able to prove my innocence and also further more proved the officer didn’t know the facts he was speaking on. Throughout the entire time working with Jason Bassett he calmed my nerves and kept in contact personally with me. This was the best outcome I could have wanted thanks to my lawyer Jason Bassett.

Sean O Hara has no business in law, came off nice, seemingly, except he contradicted himself several times. Claiming he never heard from the company, but knew where they sent my w-2…Did nothing for nine months and when I gave him crucial information he tried to get money, completely unaware that I had another attorney related to this case. His terrible work caused me to go through their employees and that’s a no for me dog, all white men. Fired and replaced. Don’t waste your time, not my first rodeo, but apparently his. Mind you the case was easy, pictures, text messages and he blew it, lazy, lazy, lazy. Easily the most important client you’ll ever have too.

Aaron Ferri consulted with me on a matter, and his insight and professionalism is something I don’t experience everyday. He is proficient, thorough, incredibly articulate and responsive. He and his firm are reliably competent and highly successful. You should definitely consider them if you have labor issues and require representation. I’d give them more stars if there were more to give than five.

Aaron Ferri and Scott Cholewa at Leeds Brown Law handled my case with such professionalism and expertise! I can't thank them enough for the attention they paid to my case, even as it spanned over a number of years. They never lost focus, communicated regularly as the case progressed, and fought for me until the end! Leeds Brown Law is the place to go for good, honest representation. If I were to ever need a lawyer again, I would definitely be calling Aaron and Scott!

He’s a life saver, as mentioned in the reviews below he is Kind, understanding, and brilliant. While his practice may have shifted to a different type of Law, there isn’t anyone else I’d call first for advice, guidance and legal help. I’d want him in my corner any day of the week.

I asked a pretty serious question on Avvo related to my mother's cancer care. Her old hospital across the country wasn't sending her medical records to the new cancer hospitals in the area she moved to, and since time is important with cancer, we wanted to find other avenues to get her records to the new hospitals before the situation got more medically serious. It was exactly what we needed to know. The information is of such value because it has the potential to end up having saved her life, so I wanted to thank him for the speedy and helpful response.

At one time, when I was a practicing MD in NY, I has tremendous legal difficulties (nothing to do with my state license) but was too financially too embarrassed to afford legal opinion. Though Mr Wolf knew this it did not stop him from recognizing the overall picture giving me enough time, patience and attention in an interview to steer me in the right direction to win through. I wished I could have paid him more for his help but it was only years later that I realized just how much his advice achieved for me. I don't think there are too many lawyers with that kind of altruism around.

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.
