Excellent experience! Mr Lopez graciously met with me in my home after being hospitalized following a motorcycle accident. From our very first introduction his professionalism exceeded my expectations. He was confident in his ability to be successful and fully open and honest in communication throughout the duration of the case. I felt like I could trust him which was so important to me since my knowledge of law and personal injury was so limited. He followed through on everything we discussed. I felt like I was in good hands and received the best possible service. I hope to not have any further personal injury issues in my future but would without a doubt recommend him to anyone who might be in need.

Joe is more than a lawyer, he's a compassionate lawyer. The insurance company denied liability for my accident. I was released by another attorney and hired Joe. He fought the insurance company and sued on my behalf. After filing suit, Joe revealed that the defendant had contradicting stories about how the accident occurred. After this revelation, Joe got me more than I ever expected for my accident.

Nefi was great for my case and an OUTSTANDING attorney! Nefi and his team met with us occasionally and kept great communication throughout the whole process. My case ended up going to trial and I did not know Nefi was going to be a part of it but if I could have a recording of the trial to show people how good of an attorney Nefi really is and how he destroyed the cop involved in my case and ultimately got the case dismissed before the jury even got involved then I would be sharing it all over social media! Nefi and his team are by far the best representation I have ever had and I strongly recommend them to anyone for any case!

In 2017 my daughter and I were in a car accident. I was in the hospital for a week and came out with a huge bill and completely lost and stressed on what to do I contacted the first attorney I googled in my area and he took my case but was so aggressive it only stressed me more. My mom found Sierra legal group and I contacted them and was instantly relived with the fact that Atousa Nezamabadi was patience and caring and understanding and she went into detail to explain the legal documents and process of this case so I could fully understand. Her whole staff are such great caring people.My case had so so many twist and turns and it seemed like every kind of roadblock came in our way but they always found creative unique ways to in the end help me and my daughter get the results we needed and deserved. I Truly appreciate the time and effort and creativity they put into my case and I would definitely recommend Sierra legal and especially Atousa Nezamabadi to anyone that is in need of an attorney.

I've hired the Lagarde Law Firm twice now (one car accident handled by Mary and one contracts case handled by Richard) and have been pleased with the level of service and results both times. The first time I hired them was for a car accident where I was injured. Mary took the time to investigate the facts of the accident, thoroughly explain my options, recommend the best course of action, and execute her plan with precision. The process was pretty painless for me as Mary took care of everything from start to finish. I was kept aware of the progress of my case at all times and the matter was resolved quickly. I was very happy with the outcome of that case and relieved that we were able to avoid the headache of trial while achieving excellent results. She even helped negotiate my medical bills down so there was more money in my pocket in the end. I would highly recommend Mary if you are in need of a skilled attorney! She and her team will treat you like family and truly care about each client.

Charlie Waters got me through the most difficult ordeal of my life. There were times when I just wanted to give up and give in, but he wouldn’t let me. He was strong when I was weak and tenacious and tough when I wasn’t able to be. He became my champion. He sued the persons responsible for the auto accident and made them pay. Mr. Waters is a great lawyer and I was so fortunate to have him with me. He was more than just my lawyer though. He became a dear and trusted friend and that meant so much to me and my husband.

Well, don't let this young man's age fool you. This skilled attorney is a dogged litigator! We were denied coverage by our insurance on a claim for damage to a rental house that we own. The tenants left in the middle of the night, and left mountains of debris and severe damage to just about every room in the house, as well as totally destroying and removing the electric double-sized garage door, and stealing a major appliance. What did Insurance Adjuster tell us after looking at the property? That it was "normal wear and tear", and the insurance company denied our claim. We immediately engaged Mr. Runge, and almost immediately he set up a meeting at out rental house with the Insurance Adjuster. My wife and I were there, but we just stood by and let Carson Runge do what he does best - fight for his client! As a result, within days, Mr. Runge informed us that the insurance company had agreed to a settlement, and not just a token amount. The amount we were awarded on our claim has enabled us to repair all of the damage done, and all of the costs of cleanup and restoration! Over the last 40 years, I have needed to retain the services of an attorney at different times, but never have I retained an attorney who has gone over and above what was expected in order to make the client whole. I can, without reservation, recommend Mr. Carson R. Runge! Thank you, Carson!

I suffered a leg injury in February of 2019 that hospitalized me and had me on crutches for the better part of a year. I felt that the owner of the premises where I was injured created a dangerous condition. As a 34 year litigating attorney, I thought about handling my loss of earnings, pain, suffering, and medical bills by myself. Then I remembered the old saying that an attorney who represents himself has a fool for a client. So without a moment's hesitation, my wife and I reached out to Rebecca Todd and Simmons and Fletcher to represent us. It was the best decision we ever made. They jumped right on our case and sent investigators out very quickly. They ordered my medical bills very promptly. They effectively and compassionately interviewed my wife and me in order to fully understand the impact that this injury had on our lives. They negotiated skillfully with the defendant's insurance adjusters. Because of the diligence and expertise of Rebecca Todd and Simmons and Fletcher, our legal matter was concluded without the necessity for litigation with a result that my wife and I were very pleased with. Throughout the representation, we were very impressed with their regular communication letting us know where things stood. In the end, if my wife and I could give Rebecca Todd and Simmons and Fletcher a 100-star rating, we would. I am very glad and grateful we entrusted our personal injury matter to Rebecca Todd and Simmons and Fletcher. They took care of us with expertise, compassion, and dedication, making sure that we were very fairly and promptly compensated for my injuries and our damages. Thank you, Rebecca, and thank you Simmons and Fletcher. You made a big difference in our lives.

I was in an automobile accident in which I was hit from behind. I called the liable party’s insurance company to start my claim immediately, but knew based on the initial contact with them that they did not have my best interest in mind. I contacted Simmons and Fletcher where Rebecca Todd immediately began working on my case. She arranged billing agreements with medical providers which allowed me to be treated immediately and consistently without having to come out of pocket while waiting for the insurance company to pay out. The whole process seemed very daunting at first, but Rebecca explained everything that was going on in a way that was easy to understand. Furthermore, she assisted in getting the diminished value of my car reimbursed to me, which is something I had no idea about prior to her help. I would recommend hiring Rebecca to anyone who is dealing with a personal injury dispute. She truly has her client’s best interest in mind and works tirelessly to make sure they have the best outcome when resolving a case.

He was able to explain the facts of my case and provided a solution and explained how the case would be handled. We chose to go to trial to fight the infraction (which I was anxious about), but Mr. Tefteller assured me this was the correct path.

I called The Law Offices of Marynell Maloney about a medical malpractice case on behalf of my husband. After the initial consultation, we were told Attorney Michelle Maloney would like to meet with us. When my husband and I met with her she was very straight forward and honest as to what we should expect if she agreed to represent my husband. Once she reviewed the evidence she agreed to take the case. There are several things that I admire about Michelle. One being she is a very compassionate and humble person, and very easy to talk to. She is also a very good listener which is a very important asset to look for in a great attorney. Due to Tort Reform I would assume most attorneys would not want to deal with these types of cases, but that does not stop Michelle from fighting for her clients' rights. Once Michelle started working on our case, it took her less than a year to win our case. When I tell you that she is the best attorney in San Antonio Texas to handle medical malpractice, I mean just that. No other attorney could have won this case except Michelle Maloney. I urge anyone, if you are looking for a medical malpractice attorney to represent you, please do not waste your time with any other attorney. Talk to Michelle Maloney first. If she can not help with your case, chances are you do not have a case. Thank you again Michelle. May God continue to bless you and keep you safe always. Submitted by Sharon P.

When first we were looking for help with our problem most lawyers we spoke to were unhelpful given the nature of the case Michelle however dug deep and came up with a possible solution and called us back to setup a face to face meeting. As the process continued she not only took diligent notes but she also provided great emotional support. She is professional while at the same time was empathetic to us. Without her on our legal team I am quite sure that not only the process would have been much more unbearable but the outcome would have been different. My family and I are grateful to have had her on our side for she truly is a gem.

Michelle Maloney's law firm has a well deserved longstanding reputation for being strong in evidence and procedure and for its formidable presense in the courtroom. In Michelle, I experienced the essential qualities I hope to find in an attorney . Michelle is professional, articulate, smart, well organized, and understands that the lawyer is there to serve the client. Michelle is dedicated and worked hard to help me get a good result in a high stakes matter involving medical malpractice and improperly prescribed drugs. Her thoroughness impressed me. The infrastructure of her law firm appears very strong and this support enables Michelle to fight effectively against the biggest and most well funded opposition. What I best remember is the warmth and compassion in Michelle's office. In time of stress, knowing you can trust and rely on your attorney can help give peace of mind. I sensed that Michelle left no stone unturned and took no shortcuts in her quest to help me.

When we started expanding our construction business statewide we were very fortunate to meet Mr. George. He was referred to us from the bank that was providing the financing for our work and also from our accountants. The bigger our company grew, the more sucessful we became, the more we found people, that did not want to pay us. One strategy to beat us out of our money, was to sue us for "Deceptive Trade". We personally believed that in the end it was not about the money but defending our reputation and our brand. Mr George believed it was all three. Keeping our hard earned money, our reputation, and protecting our brand. We have a perfect record. Not only have we not lost a case in court, we made history in Bell county by becoming the first company that was sued for "Deceptive Trade" and not only winning our case, but also having the jury find the case completely groundless on any level and to award us our attorney fees. That my friends is unheard of in an age of consumer protection. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Mr. George's articulate and professional behavior has always come through.

I am a financial damage expert and have used James George as my personal attorney and as well as worked with him as an expert witness. I have been retained as an expert by numerous extremely competent attorneys and I have found James to be one of the best. Most recently, he handled a business case for me that involved breach of fiduciary responsibility by the opposing party. He successfully handled this case in a highly professional manner. I use James as my personal attorney and recommend him to anybody who has need of competent, honest counsel..

I was involved in a car accident and the firm took care of the hospital who threatened to turn me into a collection agency, got into contact with my car insurance and stayed in contact and gave me updates on my case on a timely basis. I was so relieved to have them on my side and I appreciated all they did for me, really put my mind at ease and saved me so much stress! Thanks again!

Dave and his office provided my services with the utmost care and compassion. From the first contact to end of the service I was made to feel like family. The personalization and attention to ensuring I had the information needed to make decisions that were best for me was overwhelming. It was never just a case to Dave and his team, it was caring for someone’s life that was someone special to their family and friends. Dave and his team was careful to relate to me in whatever state I was in: pain, worry; discouraged; or even feeling sorry for myself. I would recommend Dave and his firm to anyone who wanted enter a relationship and not be considered a.”transaction.” Thank you Dave for reaffirming that service, dignity, respect and kindness is more than just words, it’s what you and your firm embodies. Thank you!!!

I was in a jam, Mr. Behr took my case and worked a miracle! I went from being dismissed and looking at getting nothing for me and my son's injuries to receiving money for a new car and compensation for our injuries. Mr. Behr did what no other attorney would and he succeeded even against a top defense attorney in Dallas. Mr. Behr was amazing and his paralegal is absolutely the greatest! Jennifer answered all of my questions, kept me informed and kept everything moving. She met me after hours to notarize documents and the all went above and beyond to handle my case. The entire staff is great! Thank you!!!!

I have Mr. Foster as my Attorney. My Lawsuit isn't over yet, but he has been right on top of the matter from Day one! He is a very hard working and busy Man. He might not always talk to me personally, but does make the time to when I request him too! His office staff is very kind, and keeps me up to date! I'm sad to see some don't feel the same as I do. He is worth taking on as anyone's Attorney!!! I feel my case is in the best hands it could be. I have high faith in him and his wonderful staff!

Thank God for Mr. Foster! I had a very bad and unfounded criminal case and Mr. Foster saved my freedom. From the moment he took my case, he worked hard to get it resolved. He is smart and seems to really know the law. I could call him day or night and even on the weekends and he would return my call by the next day. He even answered a text I sent him at 10:30pm on a weekend. He is just the best and I would not be a free man without him.

Mr. Foster took care of my case quickly and competently. He handled my case and actually returned most of the money that I had given him as a retaner. I thought that that money was gone forever and was ok with that but he handled the case quickly and gave me the money that was not spent back.

I give 10 Stars to Michael Ace , Super Attorney , at Roberts and Roberts Law Firm. He Represented my 26 Year old Daughter, who is Autistic, Non -Verbal, and handicapped, after she was severly injured with multiple broken bones due to the negligence of a large corporation with a team of heartless Lawyers to shield them from being responsible. Michael Ace , valiantly fought them from District Court to Federal Court and won my daughter the Victory and settlement she deserved. He even took money from his part of the settlement and gave it to my daughter. Think about that....where is their another Lawyer that will do that? After the case, he continued to protect her settlement from the IRS and Social Security by placing it in an untouchable, Special Needs Trust Fund. Let me tell you, I am 68 years old and generally do NOT like or trust Lawyers, but.... Michael Ace is God's Warrior in your arena, and he does NOT lose. He truly cares about his client's. THANK YOU Micheal Ace and Roberts & Roberts Law Firm for what you do.

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You

A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.

If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.

When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:

  • Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
  • Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
  • Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
  • Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
  • Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
  • Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.

Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.

What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?

A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
  • Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
  • Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
  • Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
  • Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.

How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?

Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.

It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
  • Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.

Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.

Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer

Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. What types of damages can I recover?
    Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
  • Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
  • Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
  • Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
  • Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
  • List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
  • Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
