About a year and a half ago, I was hit by a car, as a pedestrian in a crosswalk. A family member encouraged me to reach out to a personal injury attorney to get repercussions since I was not at fault. The recovery process has been incredibly difficult, but it's been much easier since working with Joe Rome and the team. I appreciate how quick Joe is to respond. I also really appreciate, that he has been informative and empathetic throughout our time working together.

Mr. Trudell and his office staff are top notch, A+. My business law firm referred him when I was in a vehicle accident, and I’m extremely satisfied with how the process was handled. No accident case plays out perfectly, but his office maximized my interest at every turn. Highly recommended, and would work with them again any time! Thanks Pat, Barbara, and Rachel. 🙏

I have used Steve's firm on 3 different personal injury claims for 3 separate auto accidents. Steve and his team are extremely professional and compassionate. In particular Heather Doss and Tracey Smith went above and beyond to negotiate with insurance companies and health insurance providers to achieve the best possible outcome for my cases. Every attention to detail on the costs of their services was documented and explained to the fullest. As I already have, I would hire them again and again.

I cannot thank DUI Heroes enough for their professionalism and dedication in handling my case. From the first consultation, their team made me feel heard and supported during what was an extremely stressful time. They thoroughly explained the process, kept me informed at every step, and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for my situation. Their attention to detail and expertise were evident throughout the case, and their ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system was impressive. They not only reduced my charge but also helped me understand how to move forward positively after this experience. I highly recommend DUI Heroes to anyone in need of a lawyer for a DUI case. Their compassionate approach and exceptional legal knowledge truly set them apart. Thank you for helping me get through this challenging time with confidence and peace of mind.

If you’re looking for an exceptional DUI defense team, I strongly recommend that you retain DUI Heros. They not only secured the dismissal of several charges and citations but also ensured I wouldn't set for insure a jail. They even went the extra mile to get all fines and court costs reduced to zero—a result I had only hoped for. My case took time to adjudicate, and during that period, I experienced a severe and unexpected life-threatening illness. DUIHeroes handled my situation with compassion and care, taking every necessary precaution to ensure my condition would not worsen. Their professionalism and empathy reassured me during a challenging time; I truly felt both protected and understood. Additionally, I was wrongfully accused of serious charges unrelated to the DUI—charges that could have severely impacted my career and future. DUIHeroes’ thoroughness and commitment led to the dismissal of these charges as well, allowing me to move forward with my life without fear or stigma. They restored my faith in people who genuinely seek to help others. DUIHeroes truly lived up to their name, and I am deeply grateful for their unwavering support and dedication.

I was represented by dui heroes after I was pulled over illegally. After talking on the phone with Chris I knew I was in good hands. They represented me even though I live on the east side of the mountains, they were still able to keep in good communications and handled my case accordingly. I felt at ease with my case because of their professionalism and knowledge of law. The whole process was painless and stress free. Them getting my case dropped was the result of their hard work.

Despite not being my attorney, Allison Drescher exceeded expectations in terms of her ethical conduct, honesty, professionalism, and genuine compassion. ☺️ She was non judgmental making me feel comfortable discussing my unique circumstances and charge!! In an attempt to address my situation, I sought the advice of another attorney in the community, paying for a consultation. Unfortunately, the recommendation provided was not viable in court due to the charges I faced. However, Allison Drescher went the extra mile by promptly informing me of this, preventing me from embarrassing myself in front of the Judge and Prosecutor!! I am immensely grateful for her actions and kindness!!! Allison is so wicked smart!!! it is worth noting that her expertise extends far beyond mere knowledge; she possesses an extraordinary blend of intelligence and kindness. 💕🌟

Estate planning can be daunting, but with the help of Kailei Feeney at de Vriez and Carney PLLC, the process became easy to navigate. In 2019, Kailei assisted us in collecting and organizing all the necessary information in a way that was easy to understand. When we decided to revise our wills five years later, we were just as satisfied with the outcome and felt well-supported throughout the process. Our positive experience when preparing and revising our wills highlights the ongoing support and commitment that Kailei and her team provide to their clients. They help you navigate critical legal matters with ease and peace of mind.

Mr. Gorton came highly recommended by a mutual acquaintance after I was seriously injured in a multiple vehicle collision. I had been struggling to navigate the insurance morass for more than a year before discovering my injuries had not been correctly diagnosed following several visits to doctors and dozens of painful physical therapy sessions that were making some things worse. Once Mr. Gorton was on board, I was able to take a welcome break in not having to deal with this very confusing and frustrating issue as he took control of the case allowing me to focus on recovery. This gave me time and freedom to find a doctor who finally figured out underlying issues leading to multiple surgeries and more PT without the pressure from insurance companies to resolve the case quickly or continual questions about progress that seemed "too slow" for their company processes. Mr. Gorton's extensive legal experience and deep understanding of the insurance profession led to a positive outcome. He used several specialists to create medical, financial and historical reports in preparation for court, which ultimately convinced the at fault party's insurance carrier to wisely settle pre-trial. I appreciated his pace, counsel, reassurance and patience in dealing with court and insurance. His calm demeanor and tenacious advocacy were a huge plus. This case began well before Covid hit, continuing through many months of court closures and slowdowns. He was there for me and my family every step of the way.

I have been a client of Daniel Horne for over ten years and a friend for just as long. From the first moment we met he treated me with compassion and hope. When my world was quickly crumbling down Daniel provided the strength and confidence to carry on and fight the good fight. Without him and his wonderful spirit I would surely be dead or worse. He is one of the few honest and caring lawyers I have ever met. While my case has been settled for seven years he still helps me out with any new problems that have arisen from my injuries and has always made time for me. If you need someone on your side this is the man for the job. Daniel has always treated me like a friend and made me feel that I mattered. I could sing his praises all day long but the short of the long is, if you need a lawyer he is the one. I highly recommend him and his firm to do the job and do it right. Aloha🤙🏿

This review is long overdue. The Elsner Team went above and beyond in my case and helped my son and I settle for much more than expected. Before being transferred to them, I was told by the previous law firm (whom I'm still grateful to) that I couldn’t expect much, which confused me given what my son and I had gone through to need this case. I am extremely thankful for the Elsner Team. Justin is an amazing and kind attorney. I mostly spoke with Trisha, who is the employee of Justin, and she was not only incredibly helpful but also kind and empathetic. Angela and Kara were also very kind. I believe those were all the team members I interacted with. I couldn’t recommend this team more to anyone in need. They are exceptional at what they do and are good-natured.

From the moment Attorney Menzer took my case — auto accident, medical and other costs pursued by the other driver — I felt that I was in good hands. He was professional and pleasant, knowledgeable so that I knew from the start what the likely outcome would be as well as the appropriate paths that would be taken to reach that outcome. He did not need to spend a lot of time on my case because he knew what he was doing and was, therefore, extremely effective (successfully encouraging my insurance company to agree to settle for my maximum insured amount — the company was threatening to push for much less, possibly landing the case in court). He is honest, direct, courteous, efficient, and reliable. I couldn’t have asked for better legal representation.

We had a complicated case concerning a nursing home, so we went to several lawyers concerning this case. We were not impressed by any of them. Not until we met Matt Menzer that we knew instantly that he was the cream of the crop. He was by far the best!! Matt was extraordinarily intelligent, extremely knowledgeable, and also very likable. He was a good listener, communicator, and he explained things in a way that we could grasp and understand. He and his team always treated us with the utmost respect when we asked our many questions and talked with them on the phone. Matt was able to absorb and comprehend large amounts of information that we gave him concerning the nursing home issues. He was able to summarize all this information into something manageable that we could understand. His compassion, empathy, and thoughtfulness was so appreciated. We liked the way Matt gave us options and the best approach to take in order to achieve the best outcome. We were more than happy with the amount awarded. Thank you Matt Menzer for delivering a professional and positive experience. You are truly the BEST of the best!! I would highly recommend you in a second!!’ Ann and family

I worked for over 50 years as an investigator (of sorts) with dozens of attorneys in our area and got to know most of them very well. When it came time for me to seek out the advice of an attorney, I went to Bill Reinig. Bill is highly experienced, knowledgeable and, most importantly, his focus is on helping his clients and not how much he can charge per hour. On a one to ten scale, I'd put Bill at a 15. If you need the advice of an attorney and it's within Bill's area of expertise, I would strongly suggest you consult with him or one of the other members of his firm. I'm confident you'll be glad you did.

Working with Khan Injury Law on my personal injury claim was an incredibly frustrating experience. For nearly two years, communication was almost nonexistent, and progress on my case was completely stagnant. Jennifer Puckett, the Senior Paralegal assigned to my case, never followed up with me—not once. I had to reach out to her every single time, and each interaction felt like pulling teeth. Whenever I contacted her, I was met with vague excuses and told that “nothing was happening” with my case. It became clear that they were either completely incompetent or outright dishonest about what was going on. After nearly two years of wasted time and constant frustration, I finally transferred my case to another law firm. The difference was immediate—the new firm acted quickly, communicated clearly, and resolved my case efficiently. If you value your time, peace of mind, and the outcome of your case, avoid Khan Injury Law. They failed me at every step, and Jennifer Puckett’s lack of initiative and professionalism made an already difficult experience even worse.

Steve Angles' was recommended to me by one of the doctors I was seeing for treatment after I was struck by a car and received a serious blow to the head. From our first moment sitting together his experience and depth of knowledge of brain injuries was obvious and he was able to aid me both in my medical recovery direction and legal assessment and follow-up. Both insights were beneficial to me in the short and long run. The financial settlement came in at 100% from the driver who struck me personal insurance company. Certainly a result of Steve's experience, issue based knowledge and vision. I was always in the loop and approved each step. I believe the results turned out to be as good as we could have hoped.

I cannot recommend Steven Angles and his team especially Carol, highly enough. From our initial consultation to the final resolution of my case, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident every step of the way. Personalized Attention: Unlike many firms where you might feel like just another case number, and they want you to sign their contract right away, Mr. Angles took the time to understand my situation and address all of my concerns. His approach was tailored specifically to my needs, ensuring I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. Expertise and Knowledge: Their deep understanding of personal injury law was apparent. They provided clear explanations of my legal options, and their strategic advice proved invaluable. It was clear that Mr. Angles not only knows the law inside and out but also has a keen understanding of how to leverage it to benefit their clients. Effective Communication: Communication was prompt and transparent. and Mr. Angles was always available to answer any questions I had. This level of accessibility and openness made a significant difference in easing my anxiety throughout the legal process. Compassion and Integrity: Beyond his legal skills, Mr. Angles demonstrated genuine compassion and integrity. They were truly invested in my well-being and showed a level of care that made me feel valued as a client. If you’re seeking a personal injury lawyer who combines expertise with a heartfelt commitment to their clients, look no further than Mr. Angles His exemplary service not only delivered results but also made a challenging time in my life more manageable. Thank you, Mr. Angles Sincerely, Stacy G.

If you’re in doubt, just call Dubin Law. I was hit by an SUV as a pedestrian that caused a traumatic brain injury and they were absolutely indispensable in helping me recover. Coming back from all my injuries to this capacity wouldn’t have been possible without them. They stressed my physical wellness and took care of all the legal headaches I hadn’t any bandwidth for and I’m so grateful they did. My lawyers Betsylew and Josh were personable, courteous and very effective. After talking to lawyers from other firms, my introductory meeting with Josh made hiring them an easy decision. Mr. Dubin seemed like a good guy with a brilliant smile. I only met him in passing. My caseworkers were always on point and never let me hang. The office manager Vivian Wang is one of my favorite people. Beyond being a tremendous human being, she went out of her way to make sure I was ok. I lost my mind and wasn’t for a while, but her check-ins sometimes made all the difference. That lady is brilliant and her kindness is something I’ll forget. She makes the world a better place. Her office runs amazingly. Everyone communicates on a high level and always keeps their word. If you’re injured, please take good care and look after yourself. If you’re not versed in law, please consider not shouldering the legal burden on top of recovering. I couldn’t have managed and advocated for myself. Dubin Law stood by me for over three years as I learned to do basic things such as walk, read proficiency, be in sunlight and sit and have a conversation with people again. I must’ve been a nightmare client, but they never let me feel that way. They received the maximum amount for my case and handled every part of the entire situation with class and integrity.

After a conversation with Mr. Meyers we were convinced and set up an in person appointment. This proved pivotal in our year long relationship. They have always been there for us giving the needed timely advice and followup. Most of the personal contact was with Jennifer but both Mr. Meyers and Mr. Gardner where available when needed.

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.
