I started to used Rhonda after my divorce was final and there were items in the MSA that were not being followed. She is an incredible attorney that gets things done quickly and efficiently. One of the things I appreciate the most is that I do not have to wait long for a response; many times you are waiting and re-calling/checking on items. She works fast to get things accomplished. I know whatever I bring to her she will take care of in the best way possible and in a timely manner.

Overall, Thomas is 100%. Watch out for last-minute deals when he gets you to sign something at the very last minute that he doesn’t warn you about they can actually define your reputation for the rest of your life. Don’t sign up for anything with Thomas until you get the fine letter print at least a week before you go to court because once you’re in court and you’re up against that… Overall, he’s a great attorney, but at the last minute when you think everything is wrapped up and a pretty little package, he will disturb you and make you sign something that you wish you never had signed off on.

After an accident I decided to seek an attorney for help. I wanted someone knowledgeable and experienced. I chose Dulaney Lauer and Thomas. So glad I did. They were professional yet easy to work with. Carl Lauer was compassionate and understanding. He honestly cared. He made the whole process stress free for me. He settled my case with acceptable compensation for my loss. I highly recommend.

I gave them 1 star because I called to get my remaining balance to pay off. Their accounting person was awful and rude. She did not know what the fees are being charged for nor the remaining balance that I would had to speak to the lawyer handling the case to get the final balance. That was fine but why be nasty and rude if clients are asking. They really need to train their front office or accounting staff better customer service or how to properly talk to clients better. My husband called a second time and asked to speak to a specific paralegal or lawyer involved in the case to get the final balance and they mistakenly transferred him to this accounting person they had again. She was soo rude and spoke to us both slowly like you are talking to a 1st grader like we did not speak any English. I do not know if it’s because of our last name but we both were born in the states so there was no need to belittle people that are trying to pay off their remaining balance. Makes me think she speaks to all foreigners this way and everybody should be spoken with respect regardless what race, former or current client. We will not be using them ever again for any services knowing they have rude and nasty accounting or front office staff that are not properly trained. I will also be telling others I know about this awful experience.

David Reed is a fantastic attorney. He has been my and my family's attorney for a long time and he has been a tremendous mountain of strength for us during some very stressful matters. David is very professional, is exceptionally knowledgeable, especially in the area of real estate, and he is courteous and kind.

David has handled our real estate needs, my son's traffic offenses, and my husband's DWI case which was a particularly stressful time for us. He has handled just about anything that has come up for us. If you are looking for the best real estate attorney, traffic or criminal representation, or just some guidance on a matter, David Reed is your man. We are forever grateful to David for his professionalism in getting things done and getting them done in a highly efficient manner.

I highly recommend Chung and Press and will definitely use them again if the need arises.

If you're seeking excellent representation for a dog bite claim, I highly recommend Curcio Law of Alexandria. Rakin Hamad, Esquire, provided outstanding legal services and ensured I received fair compensation for a serious dog bite injury. Mr. Hamad was thorough, clearly explained the legal process, and promptly followed up on all action items. If you’re dealing with a personal injury related to a dog bite, Curcio Law and Mr. Hamad are the team to trust.

I had the unfortunate experience of being involved in a car accident where my vehicle was hit by a Fairfax police officer. To make matters worse, they denied responsibility, leaving me in a difficult situation. Thankfully, I found Salem Amare, who provided outstanding legal representation and support throughout the entire process. From our first meeting, Salem Amare was empathetic and understanding of my concerns. She meticulously gathered evidence, built a strong case, and communicated with me regularly, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. Her knowledge of the law, particularly in cases involving police, was evident and gave me confidence that I was in capable hands. Salem Amare was not only thorough but also relentless in pursuing justice on my behalf. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, we were able to overcome the challenges posed by the police’s denial and secure a favorable outcome. I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend Salem Amare to anyone facing a similarly challenging situation. Thanks to Salem’s hard work and compassion, I was able to win my case and receive the compensation I deserved. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate lawyer, especially in cases involving car accidents and interactions with the police. Thank you, Salem Amare, for your exceptional service and your generous commitment to your clients!

I reached out to Scott Perry to help evaluate a potential medical malpractice case. I was extremely impressed with his amiability, the depth of his knowledge, and his responsiveness to my questions. I consulted with a number of lawyers on the case and, unlike most of the others who didn't know when the statute of limitations would apply or what legal actions to pursue, Scott quickly understood the facts of the case, knew the relevant statutes, and gave me sound advice. In fact, with his experience, he actually knew some of the doctors involved and was familiar with how the particular insurance group handles malpractice cases. Overall, I had a positive experience working with Scott and would recommend consulting with him.

My 19 year old son was traveling home from a Virginia Tech football game on a late Saturday night in November 2024 when he was pulled over going 89 / 65 -- Reckless Driving -- which comes with very steep consequences in Virginia. Even though we live 3 hours away from the Roanoke area where he was pulled over, we were easily able to find and secure the services of Mr. Kevin Gick based on his superior and well-deserved online reviews, and he did not disappoint. At all times, Mr. Gick was easy to communicate with via email and/or text, gave us a game plan to follow in the attempt to lessen the charge and consequences, and most importantly, was a kind, calm, honest, and non-judgmental figure of authority for our son . The charges were reduced and lessens were learned. GET GICK.

Knowledge = Knowing a bunch of things, Wise = Being able to apply those things at the right time. Represented by John Clark who did an outstanding job. He made it his business to be very familiar with our case and all of the written information we provided — and applied It perfectly in court. If you’re looking for an inattentive attorney to half-listen to you and come in shuffling papers and scribbling on a notebook… I’m sure you can find that somewhere else. If you’re looking for a professional, you’re in the right place.

Serving Warrenton, VA, Antonio demonstrated exceptional legal expertise and professionalism in handling my complex traffic ticket case. Despite the challenging nature of the charges, he skillfully navigated the legal system, achieving a complete dismissal of all the tickets. Antonio’s meticulous attention to detail and thorough understanding of traffic law were evident from our very first consultation. He consistently kept me informed, providing clear explanations and guidance throughout the process. His commitment to ensuring the best possible outcome for his clients is unmatched.

During the process there were the problem with the incorrect documents issued by the other country and rejected by US visa center. Neither of the parties can give any guidance on how to proceed and the case was stuck for almost a year. Elizabeth and her team were with us all the time and researched different approaches and ways to move it from the dead point. We were ready to abandon all the hope after 2+ years of trying but eventually it worked out after multiple attempts and help from the lawyers. Many thanks!!!

Mr. Land is very professional yet approachable and very obviously experienced in his field. He and his assistant, Marrietta were extremely polite to us and transparent with each step of the process. We are very glad we chose him as our lawyer through our unfortunate case. We were in and out of the courtroom fast as well.

I received a very high speeding ticket while detouring through Virginia, which is a class one misdemeanor. When I got home to NC I called attorney's in the Hillsville area and left info. Mr Bowman returned my call almost immediately, he explained things very clearly and after retaining this firm he kept me posted till the end.He got the ticket reduced and saved me a lot of time and money. I am deeply grateful and would recommend this firm for your legal needs.

I would personally recommend the Jackson Law Group for any matters involving traffic court. I worked with Mr. Brogan Bowman, who was extremely responsive and helpful. He helped me reduce my speeding ticket assessed in Hillsville (79 in a 65) to a non moving violation that resulted in no points. He was very knowledgeable and provided service for a price much more fair than his competitors in the area. I’m very satisfied with his work!

Brogan is an amazing attorney. When I told him my sons case, he was caught speeding at a pretty excessive speed, but the conviction would ruin his life as in VA it's criminal. Brogan worked miracles and got my son to pay a fine, community service, and a driving course. We are from out of state and although heard horror stories of traffic laws in VA, never imagined speeding would be criminal. Thank you so much for hearing me and understanding our situation. But most importantly recognizing sometimes teenagers are just that and do stupid things. 10000% recommend this attorney.

I was hesitant to hire a lawyer after being in a car accident, but I was also confused and felt like I wasn’t being dealt with fairly by the insurance company. In hiring Anthony Segura, he explained things so I could understand them and dealt with the insurance company so I didn’t have to. He truly made the process so much easier and less stressful. His knowledge, kindness and professionalism made me feel confident that he had my best interests at heart. I was very pleased with how things ended up and would definitely recommend hiring this firm.

I feel extremely lucky to have found Keith Marcus after my dog and I were attacked by a huge Dogo Argentino with no owner in sight. Against the odds, and counter to what I was told by all the other lawyers I spoke with beforehand, he was able to obtain compensation for my dog's injuries and his life-saving treatments, which ended up costing thousands of dollars. This is remarkable in a state such as Virginia, which has very lenient laws regarding owners of dogs who attack other dogs. My dog and I will be forever grateful to this man.

This is a big thank you to my friend and attorney, Mr. Keith B. Marcus, a shining star in RVA’s legal community. Keith recently represented me for the third time over the years. All three cases settled in my favor. The last one, an auto accident case, reached a settlement that was more than gratifying! I have also recommended Keith to several friends, who were equally satisfied. Being involved in hundreds of cases over many years and having only one disgruntled malcontent seems to me you’re batting 99.9% - just saying. Thanks again, Keith. H.M. “Mike” Glass

Hiring Andrew Taylor as my attorney was the best decision I made when filing for divorce. My case was complicated, including numerous filings and hearings leading to a multi-day trial related to my divorce, child custody and support. He also handled my J&DR Court hearings to secure a Protective Order for my children and I. Andrew knows the law thoroughly and his experience in the courtroom meant he gave me very sound advice. After trying diligently to settle with the other side, it became clear we would have to go to trial. This meant months strategically prioritizing and timing the work on discovery, depositions, expert witnesses, coordination with the Guardian Ad Litem (GAL), minor children testifying to the judge in chambers, and supplementary legal negotiations. Andrew and his paralegal, Shannon, expertly managed all of this. They are truly good people and a delightful team: I trust them implicitly. Prior to my divorce trial, I presented Andrew with a 20-point list of what I wanted the judge to grant me. Andrew’s deep understanding of what the court would be looking for with regard to the best interest of my children, quantifying asset/debt values, jurisdiction, case law, & how that lined up with the fact patterns in my case meant success: what the judge granted me after the trial was beyond my expectations. Even though I was the one who chose to file for divorce, it was daunting emotionally. Sometimes I just wanted to give up the fight for what I knew I was legally allowed. However, Andrew Taylor is a thoughtful, empathetic person who clearly sees his role as one to help families navigate when they are facing hard realities. Andrew did everything to advocate for me & my children. My family & I have gone from surviving to thriving; we now live in a peaceful, joyful home. I highly recommend you speak with Andrew Taylor; whether your case is a simple one or more complex, to make sure all issues are properly addressed now and for your future.

Mr. Brian Drummond came highly recommended to my family by a trusted friend, and we now know why. Mr. Drummond is an outstanding lawyer and human. He supported our family when both of my sons were dealing with 2 different court issues in 2 different counties at the same time. He quickly responded to my many messages and questions and continually went above and beyond to support my boys in their different situations! Both court issues ended with the best outcome possible thanks to his knowledge and fantastic pre-court advice. He treats his clients with respect, humor, and empathy. I highly recommend Mr. Drummond if you need a lawyer.

I would like to share the experience that I had after doing a Google search for Workman's Compensation Lawyers in Arlington, VA. There were many attorneys listed all over Northern Virginia and even into Richmond, VA. After researching websites and reviews of several attorneys, Charles O'Donnell was the attorney that impressed me the most. I have multiple existing Workman's Compensation against Amazon Logistics which I have been handling by myself primarily because when I made calls to attorneys 3-4 months ago for help, not one would give any assistance. Their legal assistants listened but at the end of the day, my case was a little too complicated or they just did not believe thay would prevail if they had taken my case. I believe most attorneys will give a free consutation, but I truely got much more. In the end, my phone conversation with Mr. O'Donnell lasted one hour and six minutes. Mr. O'Donnell is a great listener and was very thorough in understanding all the complexities of four different accident events that were on record with Virginia Workmans Compensation Commission. Even more important was the information that he shared that related to my accidents that affected both knees. Mr. O'Donnell maybe could have taken my case (?) but declined as I already had a working settlement on the table that I had negotiated but had second thoughts about. From my experience today talking with Mr. O'Donnell, I would highly recommend that you give him a call if you have a need for an attorney in Northern Virginia or DC Metro area. I like people that forget about themselves and think well about their clients. That person is Charles O'Donnell and I truely believe he will represent your interests as good as any attorney in our area.

The accident that I had was horrible and it changes my life completely. I was here in Virginia alone with no family members. When Mr. O'Donnell and his staff member came to see me in the hospital I was able to see how they work and that they care about their clients. With his help and his staff I did not feel alone anymore. They fought for me and did everything they could to get me the treatment I needed and to be able to walk out of this accident with something to start a new life. I though my life was over when I had my accident but Mr. O'Donnell and his staff should me that It was not and that there was many things I can do after the accident. He saved my life. He is a very honest and caring attorney that will do all in his power to makes things right and to fight for his client's rights. He did an amazing job for me and I am grateful that found him. I appreciate all the hard work he did for me.

He kept us in the loop from the start to finish. Explains all the things we needed to know and so easy to communicate with. He responds with all our inquiry right away. He lightened our load in some way so to speak by not stressing us out throughout the process but was working hard for our case to be done in a way we will not be stressed, but him working dedicatedly. Only few like him that shows genuine concern and dedication not just to our case but to us and our family. Very professional and with excellent work ethics. Very knowledgeable and smart. My two young daughters like him a lot that they asked us to give him something to remember them all the time , a build the bear that they dressed up just like him.

I met and retained Mr. Smith in early 2009 to represent me in a medical malpractice claim. That claim was subsequently settled through mediation in early 2011. It is difficult to put into words how appreciative I was having Mr. Smith as my attorney. He was extremely knowledgeable (not only regarding legal issues, but also in understanding the multiple medical issues I was having), highly professional at all times, was able to explain every step of the process to me so I (as a non-attorney) understood what was being done from start to finish, and was just an all-around compassionate and highly competent professional.

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.
