I am very pleased with my experience working with the whole team at Aharoni Business Law. After engaging the firm for the purpose of bringing on a new partner, they were quickly able to discern and draft the documents I needed. I can undoubtedly say that their work is thorough and that Jackie is tremendously responsive to questions and concerns. I've had previous experiences with other attorneys during which I've been met with either incompetence or condescension. With Jackie though, I felt that she listened and took the time to truly dissect the complexity of our legal situation(s). Her desire to help me further my own business goals and build a long-standing relationship with me (and my business), left me feeling beyond thrilled with her work. I would (and do) recommend Aharoni Business Law to all of my peers!

My wife and I were in a car accident and decided to take legal action against the person whose vehicle hit us. After consulting with a few lawyers in the area, we chose Kleczek Law and worked with David and Brendan. Our decision was based on our initial conversation, where it felt like David would fight for us and was willing to go to court if needed. Throughout the lawsuit, Brendan kept me updated as soon as he had any news, which was greatly appreciated. He was always reachable and would call back promptly if he wasn’t available. I never felt like I was chasing someone down for answers or that I was on my own. Overall, I was very satisfied with the results and deeply appreciate both David and Brendan for everything they did for us.

I was in a terrible situation involving an accident with my Tesla. The repair shop and the insurance company had been stringing me along for almost a year, and the situation seemed hopeless. David was able to get me a resolution within no time and, more importantly, took the stress of handling the situation off my shoulders immediately. His personal touch and responsiveness made me feel well taken care of and at ease. I highly recommend this law firm!

I recommend Vincent Tong at Tong Law to anyone dealing with an employment related matter. I appreciated Vincent and his team for their responsiveness and accommodation. I reached out and was able to get an appointment on the same day! During our call, Vincent took the time to listen to my situation, helped to educate me on what my rights were and what options were available, and answered all of the questions that I had. I was thoroughly satisfied with the guidance and expertise from Tong Law, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with an employment related issue.

About a year and a half ago I found myself in a malpractice situation, I didn't know where to go or what to do. I felt lost, Thankfully I found David Kleczek. First I called to make an appointment, which was quick and easy. Upon meeting him, I immediately felt at ease. Throughout the process he has always went above and beyond and helped me with everything and anything I needed. Although suing somebody, and the things that come along with it such as depositions, court, and going through all your personal information can be a bit uncomfortable and overwhelming. David has always went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and stress free. I felt educated and informed the entire process. I would use and recommend him over and over again!

David listened to my situation and created a strategy to get me compensated. At first it looked like I had no case until he started asking the probing questions. My answers revealed information that he used to create the case. He engaged another Attorney to assist him in my case. Together with David's leadership they filed the case and the outcome was POSITIVE! He was always 100% professional. I felt as though he cared about me more than anything else. I'm proud to say he represented me and to this day I consider him to be a friend. David is a great person!

Ed Casey was referred to us when we desperately needed the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer. He's been a lifesaver for us more than once.  First, he helped my husband when he suffered a severe head injury after a heavy metal ladder fell on him at work.  Ed ensured that my husband got full compensation for his injuries, including payment for his medical expenses, wage loss, and the severe pain and suffering he endured. Ed Casey fought the insurance company hard and obtained a great settlement.  Ed helped us again (and a few of my husband's co-workers) when he was able to negotiate a substantial settlement against my husband’s employer for a racially hostile and unfair workplace. I can't thank Ed enough for his expert counsel and his friendship. I highly recommend Mr. Casey to anyone looking for help with a personal injury matter. Ed is kind, responsive and, best of all, gets results! LaDerica G.

I met Ed Casey during the darkest time of my life. A neighbor libeled me on Facebook. Being that this was my first time I ever needed a personal injury attorney, Ed guided me through the ugliness. He helped me understand the civil litigation process and took the time to explain what I could expect during the lawsuit. Ed had a clear and accurate vision on how the case would unfold. He was on point every step of the way. He always kept me informed and was a great communicator. He represented me with honesty and professionalism throughout the entire litigation. Ed also showed a great deal of empathy and compassion for what my family and I had been subjected to. He understood the pain and emotional distress that had been inflicted upon me and how this person’s false statements had caused me significant damages and had injured my reputation. Ed brought light into that dark time in my life. He believed in me and fought for me and for that I will forever be grateful! I would recommend Ed Casey in a heartbeat.

I got to know Ed many years ago in a case when I was representing the defendant and Ed was representing the Plaintiff. Ed aggressively and intelligently represented his client, and was always very professional. This speaks so well of Ed and, in the end, his professionalism and knowledge of the law gets the best results for his clients. I have referred clients and close friends to him for legal representation, when I could not because of a conflict. I would unhesitatingly hire Ed to represent me if I needed a lawyer. He is smart, hard working and someone who I would trust.

My divorce is about complete. Kim did an excellent job. I appreciate her honest, logical and discerning approach to my case. She is able to stick to the facts and not get caught up in the courtroom drama that was created by my x and his lawyers. She is one of the most intelligent people that I have ever met. She is professional and hardworking. She almost always took my late night and weekend calls. I felt that her billing was very fair. Her memory is incredible and she was easily able to keep track the lies that my x and his lawyer fabricated and provide this feedback to the multiple judges that heard our case. My x was sanctioned so many times and this was because Kim clearly showed the judges how he was wasting court time and unnecessarily driving up attorney fees and court cost. She knows the legal system well and was very clear with me about what to expect with regards to the children. The legal system isn't fair and does not always get it right and Kim did not sugar coat my expectations. Kim works best with people that are like her, honest, kind, hardworking and logical people, whether you are male or female. So, if you looking to play fair in the courtroom, have children and a narcissistic x creating a high conflict mess, then she is the lawyer for you.

From the moment I was referred to Monica Burneikis following a brutal dog attack last year, I found myself in the capable hands of an exceptional legal advocate. As a newcomer to the world of legal representation, I was uncertain about what to anticipate. However, Monica's expertise, compassion, and unwavering dedication quickly put me at ease and surpassed all my expectations. Throughout our journey together, Monica's professionalism shone brightly, coupled with a genuine care for my well-being that went beyond mere legal counsel. Her adeptness in navigating the complexities of my case, coupled with her tireless advocacy on my behalf, ensured that I received the best possible outcome. Thanks to Monica's exemplary efforts, I am not only satisfied but truly grateful for the settlement we attained.

I literally made this account just to leave a review. That speaks volumes about the exceptional relationship with Jerome Bellotti, Esq. Jerome gave me the best care for myself and my case. I finally received a settlement, and I can reassure you that Ryan Harris is the best, with known results and top-notch customer service. Since my representation started, their firm has been located in a few locations, but now they are all over to help everyone that needs their services. We had our last call for my case, and I felt firmly that I had the best lawyer and firm. I had 14 other firms want to take my case, but I chose Harris Law Firm as the best law firm for my case. After our last call, Jerome made sure to always answer my questions and reassure me with his communication, experience, and willingness to make sure he did his best to maximize the best outcome for my case. If you are looking for a law firm for personal injury, please reach out to them to see if it's a great fit for your case. Jerome Bellotti, Esq., is a rockstar, and he made it his responsibility to get the best outcome for my case. I can attest that he succeeded in being the best lawyer with great results based on my outcome. I can now move forward in life knowing I had the best care and rebuild my life after a tough time due to the car accident I experienced. Ryan Harris Law is definitely ranked as the #1 law firm with the best lawyers like Jerome B. Thank you so much, Jerome Bellotti, Esq.

Ryan Harris and his team of lawyers handled an auto accident case my wife and I. We were rear ended while driving from Utah to California. Although my wife was not as injured as I was, I required surgery on my wrist because of the way it hit the steering wheel of my car. Ryan and his team helped me throughout the entire process of the case, and in the end they got me compensated. I wasn't trying to win the lottery, but I suffered through the injury and the surgery, and these guys made it right by getting my medical bills paid for and money for my suffering. The process can be long, but I understand that is the system sometimes. Ryan saw it through. I would recommend them for sure.

They explained the entire process and answered all my questions with no pressure to hire them. Given my situation, hiring Mr. Harris was the best decision I could have made. The driver who hit me had low insurance limits that didn't cover all the medical bills, yet his office dealt with everything so I could focus on my recovery. Great office.

John Hill isn't stable to help you with your legal problems. He is barely there mentally. He doesn't have POA for his own affairs. His nephew Micheal Hill is POA. I was his live-in caregiver, assistant, trainer helping continuously for 13 months. I worked for him every single day for the entire time. NO VACATION, NO DAYS off for a whole year. That tells you what kind of hypocrite he is. He is in such cognitive decline, it is unimaginable that he can "practice" law. When I requested a vacation after exhausting myself he hired someone for cheaper and I was asked to leave under threat because he blamed me for reporting financial crimes I uncovered while on the job . I've been trying to collect back pay and overtime that is owed to me and wouldn’t even return my calls. I had to sue him to collect 6 months of overtime. I've never been treated so poorly and insignificantly by a client that I dedicated my life to. Nobody in his immediate family came to help him even one day. That tells you what kind of man he is.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by Florence Ndedi throughout my journey towards obtaining DACA, permanent residence, and ultimately, US citizenship. Florence guided me meticulously through every step of the process, from compiling the necessary documentation to preparing for the citizenship interview. Her attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring that all paperwork was submitted accurately and on time. What sets Florence apart is her genuine compassion and dedication to her clients. She took the time to understand my personal circumstances and addressed all my concerns with patience and empathy. Her clear communication kept me informed at all times, and I always felt confident that my case was in capable hands. Thanks to Florence's expertise, I am now a proud US citizen.

All what lawyers want is money and this guy was not the exception. My husband paid him $10k and we didn't hear from him after like 8 or 9 months, and it was not even Arash the one in touch, it was one of his assistants. We didn't see him face to face until I arrived to the USA only because he wanted more money to start the process of the green card and because we didn't pay, he stopped answering all the questions we had after my arrival.

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.
