In the summer of 2022, I was riding my bicycle and almost went into a dangerous sewer grate along Linden Road in Rocky River. The grate had slots parallel with the road, which could easily swallow a whole bicycle wheel, causing serious injuries to an unsuspecting cyclist. Linden Road had twenty such drainage grates along its ¾ mile length and was near a school. I contacted cycling advocate attorney Kenneth Knabe and sent him photos of these dangerous grates. Mr. Knabe in turn alerted the city officials to these hazards and in early 2023, they installed bicycle-friendly grates into the roadway.

I was injured when a car hit me while riding my bicycle. Ken Knabe was my lawyer: his advocacy was stellar: as a fellow cyclist, he understood the accident, my injuries and the impact on my life which resulted in a great settlement.

I highly recommend Ray Bules! He is very knowledgeable, attentive to detail, calm, and understanding, but he is also a shark. By his calm demeanor, you do not expect him to strike, but he is very methodical with the information provided to him for negotiating at the most crucial moment. I am extremely grateful that he was our attorney and for helping us with our custody battle.

My husband and I hired Jedidiah Bressman to represent us after being seriously injured in a car accident. The case was very complicated, involving several parties and different insurance policies spanning multiple states. He was extremely professional and compassionate during our frequent communication, and thoroughly explained every step of the process. We were very naive to legal proceedings, and he did an excellent job answering all our questions. He was also very proactive, often contacting us to clarify something before we had a chance to ask him about it. By working with Jedidiah we received the best possible outcome for our settlement, and gained the peace of mind necessary for our recoveries. We highly recommend Bressman Law if you are in need of a personal injury attorney.

Meaning that I had a great experience with him and I am so happy that everything was handled in a professional and competency manner. Thank you so much Jedidiah and my God bless you more.

Attorney Diehl represented me in an apartment fire lawsuit where my insurance company tried to get out of covering me.
It was a complicated case as Attorney Diehl was navigating two insurance companies- the apartment complex insurance and my own insurance company.
Attorney Diehl used his knowledge of how insurance companies work and his strong negotiating skills to cast enough opposition that resulted in a settlement reached between the two insurance companies; protecting me and my family from personal liability.
In every scenario, Attorney Diehl was the best lawyer in room! He was always calm, focused, and able to clearly communicate complex legal terms in everyday language we could understand.
I cannot recommend him highly enough! Attorney Diehl is the real deal!

From the moment I sought legal guidance, I knew I was in capable hands with Michael L. Eisner . Although his expertise lies outside the literary field, his dedication to what I needed was nothing short of remarkable. He went above and beyond to connect me with a top-notch literary agent and a specialized lawyer, ensuring my creative work received the representation it deserved.
His professionalism, coupled with a genuine willingness to help beyond his practice area, speaks volumes about his character and commitment to client success. I am deeply grateful for his invaluable support and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal assistance.
Thank you, Michael L. Eisner , for being a pivotal part of my literary journey.

Mr. Andrew Baker is incredibly easy to work with, and open to walking clients step by step through every legal process. Working with him has been such a joy, as he truly embodies recovery as 3 aspects: Emotional, Physical, and Financial. While the emotional aspect is often overlooked when it comes to attorneys, Mr. Baker makes it a priority to focus on how his clients are doing, maintaining close communication and establishing a strong client-attorney relationship. There's no one else I'd rather learn law from, and I couldn't recommend Mr. Baker enough when it comes to legal assistance.

Rinehardt Injury Attorneys gave me life back. I will forever be thankful for them ! They never made me feel like a burden and always had my best interest at heart. Everybody was so kind and caring and helpful throughout the many months of fighting for me. I was bitten by a dog while in the job and Rinehardt understood my fears and struggles from it. I am very late to posting this review but I’ve been very busy- like I said Rinehardt gave me my life back and with that the stability and comfort to leave my job and I have been improving personally ever since. I’ve been enjoying life again and I will always recommend Rinehardt to all of my friends and family the same that they were recommended to me. Thank you Rinehardt <3

It was great being able to give our case to Beth! We didn’t have to worry about anything and she communicated every step along the way.

I would highly recommend using Mr. O’Keefe. My case was a very complicated one that required an attorney with not only a strong knowledge base, but the conviction to keep fighting even when there was adversity or opposition. My case ended up being dragged out and the defendants insurance company fought us tooth and nail, but at the end of the day we won the full amount and I couldn’t have asked for more. I am extremely thankful for how hard this firm worked for me and would send any of my friends or family this way.

If you are looking for an attorney who pounds the table and promises you the world this is not that guy!
Steve O’Keefe is tenacious, steadfast and constantly moves forward with a firm but cool temperament. Those same traits are the reason he reached a settlement on my behalf against other litigators who “never settle”.
If you are looking for results, I HIGHLY recommend the O’Keefe law firm.
Thanks Steve for a job well done

Upon hiring Steve I wrote on the Contract - "Go Win". He did not know me, but from that moment on I felt like I was working with one of my good friends who just happened to be a fantastic lawyer. I won't get into the particulars of my case, but just know that whatever needed to be done, Steve did it. In a very difficult time of my family's life, Steve made us feel like his top priority and not just another case. Steve O'Keefe - Skiiled, Knowledgeable, Compassionate and Caring. Nice work Steve O'Keefe - you brought some comfort in a terrible situation. And by the way - We won.

My wife and I were victims of a tail-end collision in May, 2021, resulting in us both being sent to emergency via ambulance. After being deluged with a bewildering avalanche of correspondence from attorneys, including a book and video about why we should retain their respective firms, we decided to retain the the services of Roni Sokol. She was professional, honest, straightforward and realistic about our need to retain legal help and about our chance of securing additional help through the "underinsured" clause in our own policy. She handled all legal matters regarding our medical claims quickly and efficiently and presented all options to us before agreeing to any conditions. Our interaction with her was more than satisfactory, it was excellent. I highly recommend her and will hire her if matters present themselves again in the future.

I would definitely recommend Helen Wallace to anyone in need of a lawyer.

I have been involved in the criminal Justice system for over a decade and seen some of the best attorneys Cleveland and Columbus has to offer. Mike Conway is one of them.
I witnessed Mike take on six attorneys involved in my case for well over a year. During that time, he was relentless in seeking the truth and Justice. When needed, a savage at times but in the most professional way. Mike’s line of questioning during cross examination in depositions is a true art and it was a pleasure watching him hold people accountable and responsible.
Mike has mastered his profession and knows opposing counsels moves before they even make a move.
For the above reasons, I could not recommend a better attorney for one’s legal disputes.

Michael Conway gave a voice to this underdog whose employer thought that eliminating my position and offering a severance package would be enough to pay off and silence a senior worker.

The lawyers that handled my case were professional. With their experience they knew what questions to ask to get the information they needed; they advised me as to the steps I needed to take; I was advised to deal directly with them and not to act according to what I thought; they kept me informed while they were handling my case and because of the efficient way they transact business I was able to gather, organize and submit my paperwork in a timely manner. I am satisfied with the final results.

I was in an auto accident and unsure what to do next. A quick phone call and meeting put my mind at ease. I was consistently kept in the loop on everything that was going on and what I could expect next. All of my questions were promptly answered and I had no scheduling issues with face to face meetings. The accident was a very troubling time for me both emotionally and financially and I felt reassured that Michael Bruno and his staff were genuinely concerned and were on my team. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone facing the same situation.

If you are in need of a highly professional personal injury attorney who is not high pressure, we would recommend attorney Michael L. Inscore of Inscore Law Offices, LLC. We retained his services after being involved in a traffic accident not caused by us. This resulted in significant injuries to my wife and myself. We contacted Michael after conducting a search for local attorneys that handle this type of case. His name returned with high satisfaction ratings from his clients as well as highly regarded peer reviews. He did not over promise nor under deliver. He sincerely tried to address our concerns throughout the lengthy process, and communication was excellent either directly with him or his paralegal.

I hired Jack Hilgeman after an Auto Accident and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Jack is a very matter of fact lawyer who sets realistic expectations and then works ward to exceed them.
Because Jack HIlgeman and his paralegal Michelle make an awesome team, both are client driven and focused on results. Unlike the big name law firm who I originally had the displeasure of working with (DGM&S), Jack made sure to keep his promises. Even better, Jack is always available to answer questions via phone or email! I asked a LOT of them and he patiently answered each and every one.
Ultimately, my settlement fell right into line with what Jack projected. 5 Stars. I'd recommend Jack Hilgeman to anyone who has been involved in an auto accident and is seeking legal representation.

Initially I had hired another Accident Attorneys firm in Cincinnati but cancelled the contract within weeks due to their poor performance.
I contacted Sam Warden through a referral. Sam met me within 45 minutes from the time of the call.
He spent over an hour with me going through all the details of the accident, my injury and everything else pertaining to the legalities of such cases.
I feel blessed and grateful for having had Sam as part of the process. He was at all times ready to explain the process and kept me update as the case progressed.
I have no hesitation in recommending Sam Warden to anyone in need of an Accident/Injury attorney.

I was rear ended by a semi-truck on our way to vacation. The horror of watching this huge semi barreling up from behind us while stopped in traffic was terrifying to say the least.

She set up an appointment right away and explained the process and what to expect. She kept me up to date as the process progressed.

I was rear-ended at high speed which led to a life-changing personal injury and a totaled vehicle. The responsible party's insurance company was refusing to pay by medical bills or my property damage. Not only did Eleni take my case, she negotiated a very fair settlement. Throughout my case, she made sure to listen to my concerns and kept me apprised of what was (or wasn't) happening. I cannot speak highly enough of her. God forbid, should I need an attorney in the future, Eleni will be my first call.

I filed a suit after my husband died tragically at work. I had never sued someone so I did not know how to navigate through something of this magnitude. Collin was extremely helpful, patient and extremely empathetic.

He exuded professionalism and confidence throughout the case and that was very comforting. He offered great advice and I trust the outcome was the best it could have been.

I hired Mr. Mortimer as my OVI attorney. David did great work, left no stone unturned and listened to all my concerns with the case. David ended up getting my sentence drastically reduced and I was even told by the judge how great Mr. Mortimer did on my case! Highly Recommend!

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.
