I WISH I COULD GIVE 20 STARS I WOULD!!!!!!!!!!!
Over a year a go I got into a "no fault" car accident going to work. I pick an attorney's office that I thought was good until within a month's times one of the assistance there was calling telling me an offer. Completely feeling like I was just some quick dollars in their pocket I went to my doctor and ask if he could recommend me an attorney. Now the saying "Doctors knows best" applies here and when I tell you I am so happy I took his advice. Jennifer & her office was who he recommended and she was just what I needed for my situation. She's understanding, caring, straight forward, honest and her goal was not to rush to get me a quick dime. She cared more about my health, if there would be any long terms issues and my complete physical and mental well being. And yes, once she was sure I was finally satisfied with everything she made sure I was well compensated.
I don't ever wish an accident on anyone, especially myself, but if it ever happens and I ever find myself again in that situation; there is absolutely one team I want in my corner and that's the team at Mandelbaum Trichler Law Center. I promise you won't regret it.

It's a sad day when you find yourself needing a lawyer. So happy to have found Atty. Jennifer Mandelbaum, as she was so very helpful in all aspects. I never needed a lawyer before and did not understand the processes. Jennifer was always so pleasant and stayed in communication with me via text, calls and e-mails. Any time that I had a question or concern she was on it. I appreciated her business and I highly recommend her for your accident lawyer needs.

I had the pleasure of working with Adam Reith at Barnes Trial Group after a difficult personal injury case, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the very start, Adam Reith demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a genuine commitment to my case. They took the time to explain every detail clearly and were always available to answer my questions, which made the entire process much less stressful.
Their professionalism and expertise were evident in every aspect of the case. They negotiated skillfully on my behalf and ensured that my interests were always the priority. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I received a settlement that far exceeded my expectations.
What truly sets Adam Reith apart is their compassionate approach. They treated me with respect and empathy throughout the case, which made a significant difference during a challenging time. If you're looking for a personal injury lawyer who combines legal excellence with personal care, Adam Reith is the one to trust.

The firm represented me in litigation against an insurance company. Following 3 years of frustration with my homeowners insurance and no payment for a claim that the insurance company acknowledged was covered, I contacted McDonald and Barnhill. They were totally professional, as well as being nice. They walked me through the entire process, represented me in a juried courtroom, and I was awarded the settlement. I would recommend them without hesitation. Their entire staff provided personal care and attention during the entire process.

I recommend Adam Reith without reservation.

I am very pleased with Steele Olmstead. He is a great Lawyer and really cares about his clients. I know first hand because he was able to help me when others had failed me. He has the experience you will need to go against the big guys. I was in a hard place physically and mentally from someone who tee-boned me and my girlfriend while we were on my motorcycle. Steele has the experience you will need to fight the insurance companies. I personally recommend Steele Olmstead for any injury case you may have. Thanks again Steele for helping me get through these tough times!

Brett and his team did a phenomenal job handling our case. From the very moment we called, Brett and his team were there for us, answered all of our questions, provided us with a detailed plan of how things would work, and most importantly, gave us the confidence that everything would be OK.
The communication with Brett and his firm was as expected, and then some. We could call them any time and know that they would answer the phone, answer our questions and provide us with all the information that we needed. We never felt like we were bothering them, or could not call or talk to anyone there if we needed them or had a question. There were times that we would discuss our case and how things were going, and we always were informed with detailed information on the progress and where things stood. Additionally, they constantly checked on us to see how we were doing through it all. It was that personal touch that just reaffirmed that we had made the right decision in contacting Brett and his firm after the accident. We were treated like a part of their family.
The thing that also stands out is how hard he worked for us in getting our claim settled for the amount he said he was going to get. This review is not to make things all about the final amount by any means, but to know that we had someone representing us, that was not backing down from the other person's insurance company was so appreciated and the exact reason you hire an attorney. There was never a time that he was not confident in how things would settle. He always gave us the confidence that things would work out, and that we would be made whole again. And that is exactly what he delivered. There was not a time during the entire year plus, working with Brett and his firm, that we felt like we were "losing" or that things were not going to go our way. He even battled our doctors offices and physical therapists that were trying to over charge for services. He saved us THOUSANDS in medical bills. Once again, just confirming that we had made the right decision in retaining Brett and his team.
We could not have gotten the outcome we did if it was not for Brett, his team and everyone that was a part of this. He is relentless in his pursuit of your best interests, your care and that he is delivering on his commitments. We would recommend them to anyone.

Where do I begin? I have NOTHING but IMMENSE GRATITUDE to this law firm. Culpepper Kurland is absolutely phenomenal. The attorney I used was Brett Kurland and he and his whole staff are just simply incredible. From the second, I made the phone call to the office to inquire about using their services. I spoke to a woman named Shea and she was sweet, knowledgeable and super helpful. The next step was a gentleman named Wayne, who came to my house to go over the whole scenario of what happened. This guy came to my home vs. me going into the office and made it so easy and comfortable for me. . When I tell you, they are so quick and thorough. I can’t express how important that is when you make a phone call and they call you back in two seconds. Throughout the whole process, I dealt with Berneese and Angie are the case managers, who take care of all the research information. The two of them are the sweetest, nicest, kindest people and so personable that each time I had to call I felt like I was speaking to my sister. They work with Brett Kurland closely and I am sure he is forever thankful for these two because they are amazing!!!!!! The whole process was made to be so easy. I did everything over the phone and it was just so painless. I have never ever used a lawyer before in my life and if I ever need one again for an accident, I would definitely be using Culpepper Kurland…… I have referred so many people to this company! Brett, Berneese, and Angie are like a family. I seriously mean that. They were together and get the job done. If you are looking for a lawyer, and you’ve been in an accident, slip and fall, or anything Accident related please listen to me they on the BEST !!!!!! I promise you you will have no regrets. When I first was thinking about looking for a lawyer, I was kind of nervous, thinking I don’t know what to ask or what to say or if I should even be calling and they put my mind at ease from the second I called. I truly mean that. I was recommended from a friend who told me they are awesome until this day she tells me all the time, aren’t you glad you called. Like I said, I was very skeptical on calling and now I realize it was the best thing I ever did….. Look no further !!!!! Call them now !!!! What are you waiting for? Here’s the number…… Tell them I referred you !!!!! CULPEPPER KURLAND ARE THE BEST !!!!! (And the ENTIRE STAFF) !!!!!!!

Brett Kurland with CK Firm was amazing! My wife and I, were so overwhelmed right after the accident. Between trying to schedule doctors appointments and finding doctors that would work with auto accident victims. It was very stressful. Once we retained Brett Kurland the process was a whole lot easier. With his guidance and experience my wife and I were able to clear our heads and concentrate on getting the care my son needed to recover. We are forever grateful for all of the help through this difficult time! THANK YOU

I am a UK personal injury Lawyer. I needed a liability report from a Floridian lawyer following an accident my client had whilst on holiday in Orlando. I instructed Alan. Throughout my dealings with him he has been the consummate professional. His advice was through and extremely helpful. There is little doubt that it is Alan's assistance that resulted in my client winning his case. I can't recommend Alan highly enough.

I recently had the opportunity to watch Tom Scarritt in the courtroom and I was very impressed. It was evident that Tom connected with the jury extremely well and was very comfortable in the courtroom. He did an excellent job of turning complex legal issues, into persuasive, understandable arguments that the jurors could relate to. Tom did a wonderful job and I would recommend him very strongly.

After 2 years of complex litigation, I was beginning to think the legal system in Hillsborough County Florida was a complete joke. After discussing the situation with Tom Scarritt, I realized my legal team of 3 mishandled certain aspects of the case. Since they were with a large statewide firm, this was a tough pill to swallow. There were 2 trials involved in my case. My original team blew the first part of case by mishandling the trial. I fired the original team and engaged Tom Scarritt.
Tom took my bleak situation and completely reversed the tide . At the end of the second trial , the judge told my opponent her assertions of value due her were ridiculous. While no one should be expected to work miracles, Tom Scarritt was able to take our situation to a successful conclusion given our difficult position. Had I employed Tom in the beginning, I am convinced the outcome would have been a complete success. Litigation is a minefield of rules and legal positioning . Tom knows the system inside and out having taught trial lawyers and I recommend him to anyone with a large case.

When I slipped and fell and shattered my shoulder -I looked around and interviewed. several law firms .
Most were not really interested because they felt it was too small of a case ( not enough of a fee for them )
Andre Lama told me he would take the case and that it would take a while but he would represent me in the best possible way .
He did what he promised and touched base with me to let me know any updates and I was happy with the outcome !
I would highly recommend him

I had an accident in November of 2015 and I was immediately referred to Jack by a peer at work. (Goes to show he already has a great relationship with clientele). The accident left me with sever lower back pain and with the prospect of piling medical bills I turned to Jack to help me with my personal injury suit. Jack made the entire process as easy as can be, considering this is my first law suit. Absolutely professional, punctual, and above all he was always there to simplify the legal jargon and whatever question I had! Definitely will be referring any friend or family over to his practice and returning to Jack should I ever need any legal help!

I'm 55 years old and have been in the professional business world most of my adult life. Any attorney with Ashby Davis' track record who will answer his cell phine 90% of the time is truly a "rare find" these days. In a world of talk, Ashby walks-the-walk and is by far the most professional attorney I've ever met. My case was settled in just over a year at a settlement that was more than i expected.
I would encourage anyone looking for a truly professional attorney to hire Ashby Carlton Davis and Woods Trial Law.

I cannot praise Ashby's assistance to the heights to which he deserves! My vocabulary doesn't have enough superlative words to adequately portray how wonderful he was in handling my legal "woes". He was wonderful in every aspect of this awful "experience with a terrible moving company" concerning the moving company's destruction/"loss"(think THEFT) of my property which had supposedly been in air-conditioned storage for over two (2) years --( I was moving from my home on Marco Island, Fl to Gulf, County,Fl and required storage as I was building a new home). The moving company was AWFUL, but with Ashby's skillful work and handling of my case, I was able to receive a much higher settlement from the moving company than I ever would have without his representation. I have had occasion to deal with lawyers throughout my life--in fact, my daddy had an LLB from Cumberland Law School ( class of 1934) and received a J.D. (as you know- a Doctor of Jurisprudence) at a later time--although daddy only did Pro Bono work since he was primarily a businessman and farmer in Florida and Alabama. Anyway, Because I have been around "legal stuff" my whole life, I really appreciate when I encounter someone like Ashby who is knowledgeable , skillful, hardworking, and compassionate in dealing with my very stressful situation. He was always extremely attentive to me and my situation and even though I may have been overly upset at times, he always made me feel like I could contact him at any time for any reason. I only wish he were closer to where I live now--but I still would not hesitate to request his help in the future--distance is no hindrance in the way in which he handles legal matters. His law firm should put him on the "fast track" to being a Partner--people/lawyers like Ashby are diamonds in a too often pile of legal coal chunks, as I'm sure you know. His honor/honesty is impeccable--I'm sure Martingale-Hubbel will have an AV rating by his name--he IS an "A" lawyer--and he has the "Virtute" (virtue) to boot!! He deserves a huge raise in salary--and if your law firm is smart, you will hang on to him with "everything you've got"!!! Footnote: Because of Ashby Davis' wonderful handling of my case/situation, I gave him my deceased husband's iconic and official US Navy leather pilot's jacket from the Vietnam war era. I hope you can infer how highly I think of Ashby because I gave him the jacket my husband wore as a Navy pilot.

I've known Scott Hewitt both personally and professionally for 25 years, and I've never met a more hard working, ethically driven and morally balanced attorney who still maintains his core values of honesty, integrity and an unyielding love for his family. His passion for justice driven representation, and serving his clients needs first are clearly evident from your initial consultation.
Active not only in the legal community, Mr Hewitt always finds time to give back to others through his charitable work, philanthropic efforts, participation in faith based events and finding time to still coach children's athletic teams. Well rounded, sincere, and trustworthy are some of the first descriptions I would offer, but unusually intelligent, highly cerebral and well experienced probably better describe him.
Having worked with Mr Hewitt previously, I can honestly say without reservation that I would highly recommend him.

He took my car accident case even though a previous attorney I had years ago for another case told me it wasn't worth his time (his actual words) as I had pre-existing conditions and probably wouldn't get much at all. Mr. Eaton took my case and I got far more than the other attorney had estimated, giving me peace of mind as my medical bills were more than adequately covered. :-) Both he and his staff are knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely be keeping their number just in case I or anybody I know needs it.

After the sudden loss of my husband, I met with an attorney to try to determine any action I might take. That attorney felt that I had a case that should be pursued but recommended that I meet with David Eaton who he felt was better qualified to handle my case. I met with David and he took my case. This was the most difficult situation I had ever encountered in my life. David and his staff were helpful and patient with me from beginning to end. David handled all aspects of my case. He obtained all the necessary medical records and arranged all of the necessary expert witnesses to review the information. He handled all of the depositions from the experts as well as the defense. I am very happy to report that my case was settled successfully. I will always be grateful for all of the help I received from David and his staff. He was able to get justice for me and my late husband.

Mr. Brennan has won cases that 99% of the lawyers would lose and created more case law favorable to victims than any other lawyer that I know. He is approachable, competent, and aggressive. I have brought him in on many cases and get immediate results when the insurance companies see his name associated with the file. When you get a complicated case and need a lawyer, call the lawyer that lawyers refer to when they have a complicated case. Call Web Brennan.

Web treated my case with dignity, compassion, respect, and is extremely knowledgeable. Web is the total package!
I was seriously injured several years ago and had the honor of having Web Brennan take my case. The first time meeting him was with my parents. We were in awe of how he conducted himself as he was not the average ‘lawyer’ we expected to meet. Instead of taking advantage of us in the time crisis he gently and politely explained how to proceed without being forceful. He is truly unique, humorous, and the ultimate professional!

My case was already complicated by the time I met Attorney J. Dan Clark. He successfully settled my case in mediation and I was extremely satisfied with the outcome. There was a substantial hospital lien which Attorney Clark was able to resolve as well. He was a very effective communicator and always kept me informed of any developments and/or any potential hurdles. Each interaction with the attorney and his staff was always very professional and I was treated with utmost respect. What stands out most is the tenacity and confidence in which Attorney Clark handled my case. I highly recommend Attorney J. Dan Clark and would not hesitate to seek out his counsel again, should the need arise.

Last year, my husband and I both were involved in a car accident. We were both injured and were referred to Mr. Martino from a family friend. I am so grateful for that recommendation because Mr. Martino fought hard for what we were entitled to. During every phone call and consultation, he thoroughly explained everything from start to finish in order to ensure we made informed decisions. Despite COVID, Mr. Martino and his office maintained consistent communication via email, telephone and video chat. He is honest, aggressive and detail oriented. Without hesitation, I would recommend Mr. Martino to anyone.

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.
