I was injured in a car accident, and I hired a lawyer without any research or knowledge of what to even look for. The experience was terrible, to say the least. I got false information, lost money I didn’t have and wasted a lot of time with a lot of added stress because I couldn’t get any answers or help. I was lucky enough to know someone else who was already going through the legal process with Attorney David Eder. My conversation with them is what also made me realize I was completely with the wrong firm. I was grateful my case hadn’t already closed and reached out to David. He spent time with me on the phone and in person walking me through everything and answering questions so simply, questions I had been asking the old attorney for the last 1.5yrs! So I switched over to David Eder. David and his partners (Ben Eder, Joel Sturm and Andrew Gust) took over my case and got everything in order. They were able to get the case out of a frozen position into double limits and my health insurance bills were waived. The difference between the first firm and these guys was night and day. I wish I had found them sooner, but I am so blessed to have found them before it was too late! Thank you!

I was involved in a car crash. I was referred to David Eder and his team. David and his partners were able to review my records and position my case with the negligent driver’s insurance carrier as well as my own. They were even able to get my PIP liens waived as part of the whole process. The lawyers stay in regular contact and their hard work gets results. Highly recommended David Eder and his great team.

I called David Eder after my son and I were involved in a high-speed rear end collision on the freeway. After a career in law enforcement, I thought it was a good idea to find a lawyer that specialized in personal injury cases. From our first meeting, I could tell David understood how everything on the insurance side would work out. Whenever I had a question, he would answer it promptly and assure me along the way that he was handling my case the right way. I was able to focus on my care while David (and his partners Andrew, Ben and Joel) all strategized over my legal options. David was aggressive but ethical. Anyone injured in a car crash should call this firm.

Working with David was a great experience! After surviving a scary situation and struggling to understand the insurance process and case settlement post-accident, it felt amazing to put my case in an expert's hands. I felt seen, understood, and prioritized throughout the entire process. And ending with a higher settlement amount than I thought would be possible certainly felt good too :)

Rosie and her team lifted a weight off my shoulders when I was dealing with my car insurance. I didn't have to worry about a thing! Rosie took care of it and kept me informed in a timely manner. They got me more than what I expected and sent me beautiful flowers after I had my baby. Highly recommend Johnston Personal Injury Law Firm!

I can’t thank the whole team from Johnston Law Firm enough for all the help, guidance, and support especially Carrie!

I appreciate you greatly and the whole Johnston Law Firm team, you made my very crazy and painful experience less painful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Susan Ford helped me prepare for a small claims case (where I represented my company) for a customer that sued us for nearly $5,000. Before hiring Susan I had checked with two other lawyers but I did not feel confident. Susan helped with both the mediation and the final court hearing. With her knowledge in my brain, I was able to make a clear and coherent explanation of events. The judge decided the case in my favor. I recommend Res Nova for anyone dealing with business issues in Oregon.

She has also helped us evolve from a sole proprietorship to a partnership to an LLC and provided all the legal advice and services necessary to get it right. When it comes to legal and business advice, Susan is our "go-to" resource.

Scott and his team were outstanding throughout the process. They provided thorough advice and educational guidance throughout our case. We always felt that we were well informed and had great responsiveness to all of our inquiries. Beyond that, they were simply kind and trustworthy partners in some of the most difficult circumstances. Truly great folks there, all across the team, led by a great partner in Scott.

Scott and his team were excellent in supporting our family after my husband injured his back. A serious injury that puts the primary income earner in your family out of work for several months with an uncertain future is very scary. From immediately following the accident through navigating the medical system, insurance, to an eventual settlement Scott and his team were accessible, kind and extremely competent. We would highly recommend their firm!

I was injured on a charity motorcycle ride. I was severely injured. I underwent multiple surgeries. I was close to death many times. I was on life support. I lived in the hospital and a rehab facility for awhile. I could barely move. I had multiple surgeries. After the first few surgeries I had multiple boxes of multiple reams of paper from the medical records of this event. I tried to handle my claim myself because the total limit amounts were far less then my damages. The insurance companies were trying to get over on me. It took weeks to summon enough energy to call and deal with the insurance people and the claim process. After getting the run around from the insurance companies I had thoroughly researched the top lawyers in Oregon. I contacted most of these super lawyers and lawyers with prestigious accolades who are considered the best. For the most part they treated my situation as just another case. I came across Travis Mayor who is also a Super Lawyer with many prestigious accolades as well. I called the office of Travis Mayor and spoke with his kind receptionist. She informed me that Travis was on vacation. A few minute later I received a call from Travis in Hawaii! He cares that much about his clients that he called me from Hawaii while he was with his family. I told him my situation and out of kindness and compassion he said this total limit amount of money would in no way be fair to you. So Travis offered me an EXTREMELY low flat fee out of the kindness of his own heart. He truly cared about me and my situation. After all the pain it was a blessing to come across a man who truly cared. Once Travis took over I was able to focus on recovering. Travis was extremely easy to contact and in most cases got back to me before I could get back to him. He kept me updated and presented everything to me in a direct and clear manner. He outlined the choices I could make and he let me have full control over the decisions of the case while guiding me throughout the process effortlessly. Travis got the limit amounts from both insurance companies. He negotiated my bills down extremely low. And he also searched every possible outlet for further money. Travis went above and beyond and he did it all like a champion with no sweat. Travis is the best lawyer I could have gotten not just in Oregon but anywhere in the globe. I do not think Travis could have done anything better. Travis performed at 1000% and went above and beyond for me and not for money but out of care for my situation. They truly do not make them like this. Thank you Travis. If anyone would like to speak to me as a reference to hear my story please contact Travis and His Team for my contact info. What Travis did for me is more than words. Travis Mayor deserves a 10/10 on this site.

After my husband was tragically hit and killed by a commercial truck, I didn't know what to do. A professional contact recommended I call Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. In my first meeting, I met with all of the partners. While David Eder was the lead, his other partners (Andrew, Ben and Joel) all participated. I could tell that they understood the law, the complexities and were ready to get to work on my family's behalf. As I dealt with the loss of my husband, my lawyers systematically put together the case, including fights over available coverage. I could not have asked for a better group of aggressive legal minds in my corner.

I am so glad that my doctor recommended Joel Sturm at Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. I was a victim in a life-altering car accident and I am so glad that I found a lawyer who was able to navigate all of the mess with insurance and mediation, while I could focus on my own pain and recovery. Joel is incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Even when the news was not great, he patiently listened through my tears and gave me guidance moving forward. His knowledge of this process shows and he was able to battle for me and what I needed. He went above and beyond in my opinion, and was able to provide me with a settlement that was better than we originally had hoped for, and I know that is because of his negotiation skills. My case was further strengthened because of the background efforts of his partners, David and Ben.
I have, and will continue to recommend Joel and his team at Thuemmel Uhle and Eder to anyone who needs legal help in navigating personal injury. I am grateful for their work on my case and I know I made the right choice in having them in my corner during this horrific, traumatic time in my life.

I was rear ended in a motor vehicle accident in December of 2021 and suffered a neck injury. I tried months of physical therapy and eventually connected with Joel Sturm and TUE. I can not even begin to describe the level of effort and concern they put into my case. Joel was present at doctors appointments, he constantly checked on me. The thing he said over and over was "Let's get it fixed, we can worry about other stuff later." The decision to eventually undergo surgery was left to me, and what I thought was best with the advice of the doctors. There was no talk of money and no pressure to settle the claim quickly. It eventually concluded in November of 2023. When it came time to take care of things Joel did an AMAZING job. I just stayed out of his way and let him use his expertise. When he called me to tell me what the settlement was, I didn't believe him. I thought he was pulling my leg. I made him repeat it three times. The job that Joel and TUE did was incredible. I wish the accident had not happened because of the pain and suffering that it caused. Even with physical rehab and surgery I am going to have some soreness and stiffness in my neck for the rest of my life, but because of the accident I met Joel and I am so grateful to him because he worked so hard to represent me and my interests. It was a blessing that I got connected with Joel and TUE.

I consulted Jason over the period of two days while I was in the process of settling my personal injury claim for a car accident. Even from my brief dealing with him, it is clear to me he is a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who takes excellent care of his clients. Most attorneys wouldn't even speak to me because my claim was not large enough to warrant their attention. Jason not only listened patiently and without interrupting, he took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. Though he was clearly very busy, he never once made me feel marginalized or rushed. He even gave me feedback on the injury demand letter I'd written! I would recommend him without hesitation.

I am very fortunate to have been referred to Jason Posner after having been involved in a motor vehicle collision as a bicyclist by a well-respected law firm in Portland. Jason did a wonderful job guiding me through all the legal choices in how to settle my personal injury insurance claims settlement by carefully listening to my wishes and providing expert opinion and advisement. This allowed me to focus on the healing I needed and not having to worry if I was being well represented. Jason has all the great qualities that I could have hoped for; he is a super caring and compassionate person with great integrity and as a legal representative did an outstanding job, thoroughly handling all phases of the claims process, navigating between the multiple insurers and policies resulting in a settlement that I could not have gotten on my own. Given my very positive experience with Posner law firm I unequivocally recommend hiring Jason as a very skillful Personal Injury Lawyer – you will be glad you did too!

My husband and I hired Jason after my husband was in a bad car accident. Jason was fantastic through the long process of getting my husband the proper compensation for his current and future losses, he was educated and seemed to genuinely have my husbands and my best interest at heart. He was always more than willing to answer any and all questions and he made sure that we understood what was happening throughout the case. He was willing to make any necessary accommodations to help ease my husbands discomfort and he would also check in to see how my husband was doing. Throughout the process of the lawsuit Jason was always professional and polite and kept us informed of what was going on with the case. He was always quick to respond to any phone calls or e-mails that either my husband or I sent him. Overall he did a wonderful job and eased a lot of the stress of the lawsuit. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney in this area of law.

We never hired a lawyer before, so deciding to work with a lawyer was an intimidating process.
I strongly recommend him -- do not hesitate to reach out to him for his expertise and choose him for your lawyer.
We are so glad to have chosen him as our advocate. Matthew listened to our case carefully, and made us feel
comfortable to address any questions and concerns. He provided the help we needed and got us the result we wanted.
Matthew helped us with the property damage and bodily injury claims - he worked so efficiently that he reached a settlement,
which I expected to take a few months to complete, only in a couple of weeks. Matthew is thoughtful and amazing!

I retained Matt for a slip & fall injury because the insurance company was not working with me. After Matt took my claim over I did not have to do anything. Matt did all the calling, negotiating, and because of his due diligence I received a larger settlement than I thought I was gonna receive. He was always there to answer my questions no matter how many times I called or email him. He was quick to send me an answer and if he didn't have one he found the answer ASAP. If I need an attorney in the future I will call Matt always. I would also refer him to anyone who asks me about an attorney. Thank you Matt for helping me settle my claim so quick.

I retained Matt Rizzo twice for two auto accident claims. Matt's communication and service to his clients are second-to-none. He always kept me informed about my case. We met a few times before going into depositions and I really felt like he cared about me, my injuries and fighting for my compensation. He always had a plan. Because of Matt, I received a way larger settlement than I could've even imagined. The insurance company low-balled me and they're the ones who are supposed to care about you! This is why you need a car accident and personal injury lawyer when you've been injured. The insurance adjusters are not your friend! They're trained to settle quickly and for as little as possible. What really impressed me about Matt is that he's so fierce and aggressive, but so cool, calm, and collected at the same time. I should also mention that outside of the office or court, he's a very down-to-earth guy and charismatic. Matt, thank you for representing me and for your help. If I'm ever in need of your skills again in the future, you're my guy for life! You're the man!

Our adult granddaughter was hit by a car while on her bike. She incurred horrendous injuries with corresponding medical bills, for which there was little insurance. It was such a relief to be able to turn her case over to Cynthia Newton as an experienced professional, and not have to deal with the liability and financial issues, while we were worrying if our granddaughter would ever recover. Thankfully she made an almost full physical recovery. During the case, Cynthia showed such patience in dealing with a difficult situation and the end result was better than we had been led to expect. Cynthia was always available to answer our questions and concerns and she treated each person in our family with the greatest respect. We also got valuable advice from Scott Sell in their office. We highly recommend Cynthia Newton and her team as personal injury lawyers.

Being hit by a car while cycling was a traumatic experience. Facing the complexity of the medical system and insurance companies while recovering was not a prospect I wanted to face alone. Fortunately, the law firm Thomas, Coon, Newton & Frost was recommended to me and Cynthia Newton agreed to represent me. Her team is outstanding. While it took months to resolve my claim, they were professional, extremely competent, communicative and caring. They are expert with cycling cases.. The positive outcome in my case was due primarily to the knowledge and diligent work of Cynthia Newton and her team. They come highly recommended for good reason.

My father had a horrible accident that almost ended his life. I was stuck in a world that was unknown to me. How do I deal with insurance companies? Hospitals? Interpreting Medical Charts? I googled a few attorneys and the one that stood out to me was Mr. Coon. Mr. Coon has led an admirable career and has helped people like you and me his whole life. I contacted Mr. Coon's office and spoke to a nice lady who scheduled a meeting. After meeting with Mr. Coon he decided to take my father's case. It ended up being one of the best decisions I have ever made.
What is remarkable about the Thomas Coon Newton & Frost team is that they each specialize in their own field. Mr. Coon leveraged the expertise of Mrs. Newton (Who is a remarkably kind, and a killer negotiator.) She made the world of difference within my father's case.
Mr. Coon and Mrs. Newton were the light at the end of the tunnel for my family. This law firm puts their heart and soul regarding the individuals they represent. Mr. Coon and Mrs. Newton got justice for my family. My mother, father and I will forever be grateful for them. Thank you Mr. Coon and Mrs. Newton for representing our family. If I could give you 100 stars I would.
Sincerely,
-The Work Family

Our daughter was hit by a car and killed while in a crosswalk. We were fortunate to find Josh to take our case. I could not imagine a more effective attorney. Josh took on all of the details of our case. He recommended a highly competent probate attorney to handle the details of our daughter's estate. His assistant Jessica very effectively managed many of the interface details between his office and the probate attorney's office. Josh worked diligently with the insurance companies, dealing with their stalling tactics and negotiating a generous and fair settlement. He worked extremely effectively with the District Attorney's office and the ADA assigned to our case. His guidance was always pragmatic and thoughtful. He and Jessica were always readily accessible whenever we had a question. He worked very effectively with the Defendant's attorney. His knowledge, confidence, personable nature and competence were a great comfort to my wife and I through a very difficult time.
I could not imagine a more competent, effective and personable attorney to guide someone through such difficult circumstances.

I retained Mr. Kline's office after being hit by a care while riding my motorcycle. While trying to heal from my injuries, my wife and I were worried how I would get my medical bills handled and since the driver had little insurance how we were going to handle this traumatic situation. Mr. Kline took the time to drive to my house (rather than me go to his office) and explained to my wife and I how he thought we should go about getting all of the legal business with this crash. Along with his paralegal Rosie Key I was constantly informed on updates on my case. Also each step along the way they informed me on what would likely happen next. If you find yourself in a similar situation, do not hesitate to give them a call. I could not have been more satisfied with everything they did for me on my case.

I, and my two young daughters, were injured in a car accident caused by a reckless driver, and I asked family and friends for recommendations for a personal injury attorney. I received some personal recommendations, but ultimately chose Kline Law because of the great reviews that I’d read, and they were absolutely spot-on.
After our experience with Rob Kline, I would never work with anyone else, and would recommend him very highly (and have) to anyone in need of his services. He and Rosie are a rock-solid team that know how to get things done and have the knowledge to facilitate the best outcome.
At all times, I felt like we were a priority and that they were doing their best (and their best is very impressive) on our behalf. They always kept in communication, my questions were always answered promptly, and I never had any doubts as to the honesty, integrity, and strong ethics of Kline Law throughout the process. There aren’t enough stars to choose 10, but that’s what they get from my family and I.

I had a personal injury accident while riding as a passenger on a motorcycle. I was referred to Rob from a relative and was immediately helped with the ins and outs of my case. He was compassionate and put my concerns to rest as we went they each step of my case. He was through with his investigation. Rob is very calm, direct, and through. The kind of lawyer you need in your side. Not a hurried “let’s get just what we can now” kind of lawyer! Rob works for your best interests and that’s what I got! Thanks Rob!

I'm incredibly grateful for the exceptional support provided by the legal team after my car accident in July 2021. Their expertise and dedication were truly remarkable. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, they navigated every aspect of the case with professionalism and precision. Their guidance not only provided me with peace of mind but also instilled confidence in the process. It was evident that they genuinely cared about my well-being and were committed to securing the best possible outcome for me. I cannot recommend their services highly enough to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you for everything!

I was referred to Thuemmel Uhle & Eder by another law firm. The lawyers at TU&E are experienced. The lawyers handle the legal work, not paralegals. They answer emails. They take phone calls. They meet to go over the pros and cons of my case, including the medical options. Nothing was rushed. They strategically fought the negligent driver's insurance company and then systematically grinded away at my underinsured motorist carrier.

Jim helped me through a difficult situation when my now ex-wife moved out unexpectedly and hired an attorney. Jim gave me sound legal advice and provided prompt responses to her attorney's proposals. When the dust settled I got a divorce. Afterward, Jim helped me re-write my will and clean up all the loose ends of paperwork and things to file that I hadn't even thought of. He was a straight-shooter, compassionate, and able to tell me things I had a difficult time hearing. I will always appreciate the work that he did for me and consider myself lucky that he was on my side. His expertise and experience were invaluable. I have used Jim since that time for other legal advice and concerns.

Mr. Huegli is the finest attorney I have ever known. He has an uncanny ability to research and locate all evidence and put forth the finest preparation for trial. He represented us in the successful prosecution of an individual fraudulently promoting himself as a financial advisor to an elderly member of our family. His unyielding efforts were central to evidence prepared for the county prosecutor leading to the conviction of a perpetrator on more than 10 counts of first degree theft. Without Mr. Huegli's tenacity and thoroughness, a similar outcome would have been unlikely.

We were blown away by Charley's rare mix of high-level expertise, compassion and selflessness while consulting on our personal injury case. Charley was always gracious with his time and went above and beyond to ensure that we understood all of our options and rights. We spoke with quite a few lawyers in this process and Charley was far and away the best. He is incredibly genuine in his desire to help you navigate the legal system whether you hire him or not. Exceptional all around!

I had been in a bicycle accident and chose to handle the claim without hiring a lawyer. Everything went smoothly until I was settling the claim some time later. I received a letter with language and twisting legal terminology I didn't quite understand and wasn't confident signing. I called several layers who would only agree to take on an entire case when all I need was consultation for this one aspect of the claim. I found Charlie online, gave him a call, and he reviewed the letter via email at no charge even though I was willing to pay. Charlie assured me the letter was okay and pointed out a few details I should aware of. This enabled me to settle with peace of mind. Pretty amazing. I have Charlie's contact saved and will use his legal services again if/when needed. Thanks again, Charlie

I was visiting the United States and was injured by a car while cycling. Charley and his staff were wonderful at helping me to navigate the complicated American health care and payments system, as well as arranging for every provider to get their appropriate amount.
Charley also provided extra services, like picking up my broken bike and driving it to a shop for evaluation when I was too injured to do so myself.
All in all, Charley was professional, helpful, and respectful in every way, and his staff were great at communicating and helping with all the bureaucracy involved in healthcare and insurance following a serious injury.

We hired Mr. Walker to represent us in an accident/injury claim. I cannot speak highly enough to the time, compassion, and knowledge that he brought to the table.

I cannot say enough great things about Zachary. He is honest, compassionate and very knowledgeable. Whenever I contact him, he responds back immediately. He has bent over backwards to assist me with my situation and I am truly impressed. I tend to read reviews before making choices about products, restaurants, attorneys etc., with that being said, if you’re in need of legal assistance, he is your guy. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. I am truly grateful for all he has done.

I was rear-ended and as a result have permanent pain in my back. I was offered $3,000 by the at fault insurance company. I then knew that I had to hire a lawyer, but was uncertain of how to figure out who was going to be honest and look out for my best interest. I was VERY near the end of my statue of limitations with my auto accident and I got bounced around by several different firms. They all explained that I had waited too long and they didn't have enough time to help me. I was really discouraged but was eventually referred to Kafoury & McDougal. They were very positive and told me that even with the situation they would be able to represent me.
Jason was amazing and not only got a full offer settlement from the at fault company, but then filed a claim with my insurance company and got a total of $100,000. I never would have been able to do this without them. They are now handling an accident that my grandparents were in, as well as an accident that a good friend's father was in because I have complete confidence in the firm. I highly recommend Jason Kafoury, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing legal help.

Jason Kafoury does more than talk the talk. He is willing to take on hard and complex cases that most other lawyers would be too scared to take. I know this because he took mine. Hiring him for my own case against some major institutions was a great decision and I've referred other clients to him too. He exudes confidence in the courtroom and juries love him. He's not scared to do battle with big-business or big corporate law firms. A true warrior. He got a big win for me but that's just the tip of the iceberg because this guy is truly a rising star.

Without Janes dedication and hard work, the life of our precious son and that of our family would be very different and difficult indeed. Her staff was amazing and so great about keeping us informed of developments, and were so kind and gracious to work with. Very professional office but with a very compassionate way of dealing with difficult situations. We fell very blessed to have been represented by Jane and her colleagues and would recommend her to anyone we knew that needed this type of help. She has the knowledge and heart to do what she is doing and for that we are forever grateful!

I really couldn't be happier with Jane, John (Coletti), their staff (Carolee, Lisa, and Jan). Breaking from the normal lawyer stereotypes, I found Paulson & Coletti to be ethical, honest, and free of that normal 'slimy' lawyer stigma. Paulson and Coletti are good people, and I go to bed every night thankful to have had them on my team.

I had telephoned several attorneys regarding my situation. None of them viewed my case as I did; there was something wrong with the timing of a work-related injury claim
and my employment being terminated.
Then, someone referred me to Christopher Slater.
I was instantly impressed with his honesty, knowledge of the law, and how well informed he was of the particular requirements for the industry in which I was employed.
He expressed confidence, patience, and the value of timing with regards to filing my complaint with the proper court.
Christopher's genuine concern regarding my current medical condition was a relief and he advised me to "take care of it first".
Christopher spent a great deal of time on the phone during the initial conference and everytime afterwards.
He was easy to talk with and always straightforward; often using metaphors to get his point across.
And always he made certain I had no questions at the end of all conversations.
I appreciated his mindfulness of my time and distance from his office.
Office meetings were kept to a bare minimum.
The discussions regarding plan of procedures, his work on a contingency basis, and the difference between costs and fees were done via phone or email.
He made sure I understood my responsibilities before, during, and after the process of filing a suit.
The defendent eventually offered a settlement following a decision made by the State of Oregon courts during discovery.
I met with Christopher and the adjudicator to negotiate.
It was apparent he is a plaintiff's lawyer, as he often referred to himself.
I am certain his ethics, values, and professionalism appear very well in a courtroom.
I have a great deal of respect for Christopher and highly recommend him to anyone with questions regarding employment and disablilities.

Ms. Snyder is an extremely competent attorney. She was always in touch with my case, went out of way to speak with me directly, (rather than have her staff make the calls) and always kept me informed of the status of my case. I can not express how pleased I am with the outcome of my case. I could not be happier. I highly recommend Ms. Snyder to anyone that is looking for an attorney. She will stand up for your rights.

I can't give enough high praise. He is a wonderful person as well as a determined and seasoned litigator.

While riding a bicycle I was hit from behind by a pickup truck going 55mph. I was badly hurt and spent five days in a Salem hospital. It took many months for me to recover.
Aaron Reichenberger, from the Rosenbaum Law Group, was the person who negotiated the settlement for me with the insurance company whose driver hit me. Aaron is the best of the best. I highly recommend Aaron Reichenberger.

My case was related to an issue with an shipping claim by a major company used by many Americans that was damaged in transit. Insurance was paid for and the shipping company did not accept responsibility and pay the claim. After Ron addressed my case he was able to get a settlement for me which I am quite pleased with.
Highly recommend!

I recently worked with attorney Jeremiah and his paralegal Phoebe for a motor vehicle accident case, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received.

Their expertise and dedication led to a successful outcome, and I truly felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Ross Law PDX to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you for your excellent service!

Jeremiah was amazing, helping me with every part of my case. From my initial consultation I knew he was trustable, as he tried to assist me with resolving the matter on my own, saving time and money, which would have prevented him from gaining a client. Unfortunately the insurance company wouldn't budge, and I had to take legal action. From the moment I signed on with Jeremiah he took care of everything. Working with him and Phoebe was great, and they answered any question I had and took care of the difficult communications so I didn't have to. We had to go all the way through mediation and we prevailed! He helped get a much fairer award than the insurance company wanted to offer. I would definitely look to Ross Law if I need representation in the future!

Happy with their work, and got the desired result. The other side kept dragging their feet, but Jeremiah was persistent. He is very straightforward, and both he and Phoebe kept me in the loop and informed every step of the way.
Jeremiah was very clear during our initial consultation, and didn't pressure me at all. I felt that he wanted me to make the decision that was best for me. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and listened to all of my concerns as the case proceeded.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ross Law and Jerimah Ross as my attorney. He represented me in automotive hit and run which I was not responsible for but some how was caught in the middle of - due to a shady unmentioned dealership and individual who was. Jeremiah was able to represent my interest and get this sorted out within a couple of weeks. I had been trying to resolve it on my own for almost a year - ad unfortunately was not able to clear my involvement until he represented came on the scene. Thank you and truly appreciate your expediency in getting this put to rest.

I was very concerned when I first applied to Roy Law Group, and to be honest scared. I had paid for short term disability and long term disability and was denied through my insurers even though I was diagnosed with Cancer! To my surprise, the people at Roy Law group: Chris, Mallory and Holly, were all so professional but what surprised me was they cared. They took time to get to know me, ask me the tough questions. They researched why I was denied and then fought for my appeal. They are very diligent in their research, requesting records and looking for the facts and most importantly seeing there is a human who is in need. Thank you

Tony Abrams and Miwa Soto helped me feel safe and calm about the financial aspects of my dad's passing. Tony listened carefully, answered all my questions, and provided further resources. High points included Tony's diagram of assets on the whiteboard, and all three of us finding the funny side of Dad's handwritten additions to the POA making it unenforceable. (That's Dad!) Their website page explains Why We Are Different and I 100% agree. "Founder Tim Nay came to the law as an experienced psychologist and licensed clinical social worker." Like a healthcare team that "treats the whole person," the people of this firm help the whole family - and friends - and all the circles around us that matter.

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.
