I agree with another reviewer who said that we are lucky to have Tina Willis and her partner and staff in Central Florida. She’s a great lady. Her partner represented me and he's the best too. Very experienced trial lawyer. I called after a rideshare accident and am so thankful they knew exactly how to handle those. We almost went to trial but settled at the last minute for a very large but confidential sum. Big thanks!

I can’t say enough about TINA & TODD. I didn't have a huge case but they still made me feel like my case was the highest priority. Rallda was such a kind and caring person and always knew what was happening in my case. She made the process very easy to follow. I can't recommend this excellent group of lawyers enough. Thank you so much for everything!

Thank you for going to court to get to judge to force the other lawyers to provide the black box. which proved I had not been speeding at the time of the accident. Their every step impressed me. I was excited with my check at the end. Thank God, most of my injuries improved a lot, and can’t thank them enough.

This law group is amazing! William Ruffier along with his PL, DeDe O’Dair were on the top of their game and things went quickly! After going through a nightmare with another firm (which had been on going for 5 long months and 3 different attorney’s), I then contacted William Ruffier, best choice ever! He took on our case and within 3 months, our case was finalized and closed and we could not be happier. This firm is for you!

The experience, passion, and unrelenting commitment to my son's case led to a favorable ending we never expected. Their help gave us peace of mind during difficult times.
Mr. Sos and Mr. Haddock confirmed the confidence that was instilled in us through a highly respected friend's/professional recommendation. Every interaction showed professionalism, approachability, and genuine concern for our family.
We are grateful for their effective representation. Knowing we had the best lawyers on our side gave us new hope and confidence to move forward.
Many thanks for their excellent legal services!

My experience with Dan Newlin was excellent. My contact with them was Amanda O’Dell who
Couldn’t have handle my case any better. She kept me informed every step of the way . And really fought for me until the very end. I would highly recommend her to anyone as well as Dan Newlin Attorney’s. Because of Amanda and Dan my recovery from the accident was swift and I am so very glad that I immediately called Dan Newlin minutes after my accident. Thank you Dan and Amanda.

As someone in the healthcare industry who has worked with Clinton, I have been impressed with not only the professional manner in which he conducts business, but also with the way that he cares about his clients. There are a lot of lawyers out there to choose from in the personal injury world, but if I had a friend or family member injured, Clinton is the one I'd want managing their case.

James Nuebel represented me and an immediate family member on two separate social security disability claims (including one that required an appeal hearing in front of an administrative law judge). Mr. Nuebel was always professional, always responsive, and most importantly - completely successful. We prevailed on both claims, something that I feel was only made possible by his expert representation. I would recommend Attorney James Nuebel without hesitation.

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Melvin "Mel" Wright and his whole team for all he has done for my son. At a very, very dismal time in our lives, when we literally felt all odds were against us because of very particular immunity laws surrounding our case, Mel fought long and hard and hung in there until he found a vein of hope to help my son in his recovery. Mel never gave up no matter how many dead-ends nor obstacles we faced. Our case was not an easy case at all due to the facts and extreme injuries involved. Mel made himself easily available to offer explanations to my many, many questions or even to just hear me rant or vent about the unfairness of immunity laws. Mel became not only our attorney but a true confidant. He truly goes above and beyond to make his clients feel like family. In a time when attorneys are a dime a dozen, Mel and his team, the whole firm actually, exceeded my expectations. If we ever need an attorney again, without a doubt, we would definitely call Mel. And, we most definitely would refer Mel Wright without any questions.

Mel and his team were very effective and efficient every step of the way. Any questions or concerns that arose were responded to promptly and handled appropriately.

Very smart, knowledgeable, assertive and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have. And he always seemed to be there day or night, whenever we needed him!! He is very easy to talk to and explains everything to you.

My father came up injured after being hit by a car on the street while he was having his regular evening walk. The disaster turned our family’s life upside down. It was really bad. Immediately after I got my father the emergency medical treatment, I contacted Louis Berk Law Firm for legal assistance. I knew my father was rightful to compensation, but we were in doubt whether the settlement amount would be just. Touchwood, the entire procedure seemed so easy with the attorneys. Beyond my expectations, with Attorney Louis’s guidance, we received adequate compensation from the car owner’s insurance company. My attorney listened to me very carefully at the very first consultation, and the communication has been clear throughout. Legal representation was direct and sharp. Payment has been made on a contingency basis. My father has recovered a lot. He is still under treatment, but now we are relieved. I am really thankful to Louis Berk Law Firm.

Had a great experience with Louis Berk Law. His team had so much knowledge on auto accident cases. They explained the process and kept me informed every step of the way. Vanessa did a great job on answering my questions during my inital intake. She informed me that my case manager will reach out to discuss the case and as promised my case manager Marisabel, reached out and kept me informed every step of the way. I am so happy with the results and would highly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking a personal injury attorney!

Attorney McKinnon was super professional & empathetic when we spoke. She was honest & open about her opinions on my case. She made me feel like I’m a human. She was never judgmental & she didn’t belittle me. She spoke to me with so much respect. She’s dignified & she won’t Stir you the wrong way. If I could give her a 10/10, I would. I wish I hired her to take on my case but I most definitely will be telling my friends & family about her.

Nick could not have been a better match for me and my personality. Attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond and takes the time to focus on his client constantly. I never had a question that went unanswered, if he didn't know the answer he found out. He isn't out to win you over, he is here for you in hopes of making you smile again and look at a positive light. Very uplifting, positive, encouraging and amazing attorney and person. I will be able to look at a negative impact on a part of my life in a more positive reassuring nature. I cannot put into words my thoughts or feelings on how I truly feel and what his representation has done for me. He will always have a special place in mine and my family's heart.

I wish to take this time to let everyone know that the service that has been provided to my husband and myself by ERG Law Firm has been very efficient, professional & enjoyable.

My husband was in an automobile accident that left him with a severely fractured arm. The fracture required surgery which caused hospitalization, and because of the severity he was left unable to work for an extended period of time. Adding to my devastation, I had a three week old newborn.
My husband was in the hospital recovering from his first surgery when he decided to contact the office that Tiffany and her husband Eric own and practice law. The day he contacted them, they came to my husbands hospital room to talk to him about what they may be able to do for us.
We had a new baby and absolutely no income coming in, plus my husband was staying in the hospital due to complications from the surgery to fix the fractures in his arm. I was extremely fragile and scared. Tiffany called me to assure me that she was doing everything in her power to make sure we would start getting my husbands lost wages. She was very knowledgable, confident, compassionate, and thorough. Also, from that point on she made sure to keep me updated along with my husband every time she had any news concerning our case. Tiffany made every effort to fight for what was rightfully ours, she was honest, forthcoming, and diligent. She made every effort to make this process was as easy and as quick as humanly possible for our family. In addition, there were times when we did not understand things that were happening, and Eric, Tiffany's husband and partner would call my husband to make sure we understood the jargon. Tiffany's staff was super helpful and they always were willing to answer questions or to help us whenever we needed it. At Faddis and Faddis, there is never a bad time, for they bend over backwards to make sure their job is done right. They were very assuring and I stopped worrying because I got to a point where I knew I was in the very best of hands. I feel that my husband made the best decision possible that day he contacted Faddis and Faddis. I would recommend Tiffany Faddis with no hesitation, what so ever. Tiffany truly makes this world a better place by lending her expertise to her clients, for you will truly feel as though you have a friend fighting for you. If you find yourself in a position where you need a lawyer to fight for you because of an auto accident, I promise, Tiffany Faddis will not let you down

Mr Melton performed his task relating to my case in an extremely adequate, timely and professional manner. He also exhibited a great compassion for my particular circumstance and my overall well being. From the time Mr. Melton became involved in my case I felt confident my case would be given the appropiate attention and consideration. I was at all times kept well informed and treated with respect. At any time I felt comfortable calling his office to speak with him or his staff regarding any questions or concerns. I was at all times made to feel important as a client. Mr. Melton and his staff were also extremely patient and understanding with me during this time when unexpected family situations arose. At all times Mr. Melton and his staff ( in particular Laurie, who was extremely helpful and kind) maintained a high level of professional integrity while showing great compassion.
My particular incident was and has been a life altering occurance therefore it was extremely comforting and reassurring to know i had someone such as Mr. Melton and his staff handling legal matters for me and working on my behalf and looking after my best interest.
I Thank the Lord for sending him into my path at exactly the right time.
I would highly reccommend Mr. Melton

Previously working with a South Florida attorney from a large firm, I discovered that I was not being represented in the manner that I had been initially promised. To add insult to injury, the (over)billing was suspect at best. With limited options and my entire career at stake, I was forced to fire my attorney and turned to Mr. Melton for legal counsel.
My case was complex, comprised of several moving parts, any of which would have required an expert. Mr. Melton was successful in a clarifying what needed to be done in each area of this litigation. The steps that I took, based on his advice, led to quick, affordable closure, and avoided a long, drawn out, expensive legal battle. I would not hesitate to use Mr. Melton again. Additionally, I would not hesitate to refer Mr. Melton to someone seeking competent legal advice.

My wife was rendered a quadriplegic when a tire on our Ford Expedition separated while driving on I-75, causing the vehicle to roll over several times. The right rear tire had been improperly serviced and repaired by the defendants three months before the accident. Attorney Melton won us a 13.6 million dollar verdict. Frank Melton is a unique attorney that actually cares about the person and not about how much profit they can get from the injury. His level of professionalism and commitment is without equal and he was not afraid to take my case all the way to trial. Two thumbs way up for Frank Melton and his team. One of the best attorneys around. I checked out other attorneys who were supposed to have great reputations, great results, and good to work with. Mr. Melton was the only one I felt really confident in. I was proud see him handle my complicated case in front of a jury. Mr. Meltons' staff was also superb. His paralegals respond quickly to calls. The other thing I liked about Mr. Melton is that he is no-nonsense, he doesn't sugar coat anything, but he definitely had my best interests in mind. I would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat!

I you want a lawyer who is hard to get, if you want a lawyer who has a rude staff, if you want a lawyer who makes you think you wasting his time, if you want a lawyer how has the bedside manor of a dead cold fish. DON"T call Mr. Walker.
This man walks tall among other men, this man is a team leader, this man is not scared of a fight, this man will walk into hell with two open buckets of gasoline to make sure he is giving you all he can give.
Mr. Walker was so easy to talk to, it was like talking to your brother, if the conversation went off to something not related to the subject he would listen, he understood that he needed to hear everything you said. Mr. Walker never let me down when it came to my case and never even when I expected him to try and rush an event, he took his time.
I never had a case go into the federal court system, you could feel how Mr. Walker knew what to do and to walk the walk in both local and federal level. No better man walks. He also wears the uniform of the U.S. Army . God bless him and all like him who defend us in court and on the real battlefield.

John and his paralegal Michelle kept me informed on my case and were very compasionate and suportive througn the deposition and mediation process. They went above and beyond to get me the best offers and claims for my case. Their hard work and support made going through this a lot less stressful for me. Before going anywhere else I highly reccomend calling the law offices of John Stemberger first.

This man was recommended to me by a friend. I don't like to use lawyers who are on TV and billboards because I've seen with my friends, THEY NEVER CALL. This guy called me back. I talked to him, not his paralegal every time (though she was and very responsive). It was a good experience after my injury to have this man represent me.

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.
