I had an excellent experience with them. Not only did I get the most favorable outcome I was hoping for, I felt at ease through the whole process. Everything was explained to me as we went along and all my questions were answered in a timely fashion. He gave me a price for the fee up front and nothing was added to it. I hope I never have to go through this again but if I do, I am coming back to J&J Law Firm.

Obviously when you go into a situation where you need this service in your life, you are going to have unreal stress and doubts, but Marc and Heidi were absolute pros and came through in ways I never could have imagined. My husband was proven innocent and we can continue our lives because of their years of experience and expertise. If you know you are innocent you cannot get a better team to prove it than Perlet and Shiner.
P.s. Janine is the unsung hero of this crew! She keeps the gears moving and you should always communicate through her if you can!

I have had dealings with attorneys in the past, professionally, as well as personally. The attorneys at Lesser Lesser Landy and Smith Law Firm totally made me realize, like everything else, that one should judge on an individual basis, not a blanket assumption. They were responsive to my concerns with clarity, thoroughness, as well as empathy. I felt as if Mr. Landy was my friend, as everyone that I encountered at the firm were friendly.
I strongly recommend Lesser Lesser Landy and Smith to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I can't say enough about Joe Landy and his staff. I was in a car accident and was hit from behind. Thanks to Joe, I won my case. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was reachable whether it was during the week or weekends and gave excellent advise. He explained what was to be expected and was there every step of the way. He even met me at a doctor's appointment. I unfortunately had to use Joe's services on two occasions. He is someone you can rely on.

Mickey is a wise, skilled and compassionate attorney!!
Mickey successfully handled our personal injury case and supported us through each and every step of the process. At times when we thought we couldn't make it through one more day, Mickey was there to listen and advise us in the right direction. In the end, we received an incredible financial result and are now able to move forward from the tragedy.
Thank you Mickey so very much for your brilliant legal advocacy and your incredible kindness to our family!!

Mickey Smith and the entire team at LLL & S did a fantastic job for our family. So often you hear the horror stories of how lawyers can take a bad situation and make it worse by not paying attention to details, not communicating well (or at all) with the client, missing deadlines etc... In our case, they communicated extremely well and were just great to work with. Every last detail was attended to and the entire process went incredibly smoothly and in a very timely manner with an excellent outcome. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Having worked as a court reporter 36 years, I had the opportunity to evaluate representation and see the success of dedicated, motivated, and prepared individuals. That is why I requested Mickey Smith to represent me. Mickey was always in constant communication with me and kept me updated throughout my case. I never had to contact him about what was happening because he always called or wrote to me about any new developments. Mickey always explained everything very clearly and answered all of my questions. Mickey and his paralegal, Meghan worked diligently to make sure everything was handled very smooth and efficient with my case. I was extremely delighted with the result. If anyone I know is looking for an attorney then I will highly recommend them to contact Mickey Smith. Not only is he is an excellent attorney that truly cares about his clients, but he is also a really down to earth great guy too.

Prepare yourself for an exceptional representation experience when you become a client of Joshua Winegar, quite simply you are working with the best.
I had a highly complex case against a very able adversary. Mr. Winegar and his firm represented me in the most exemplary fashion. The case was handled quickly, professionally, with great decency and immense legal talent. Joshua has always conducted himself with reasonable and pragmatic professionalism and an uncanny ability to get favorable results.
I will return to Joshua Winegar for any legal needs I may have in the future. If you want to win your case I cannot recommend any one else.

Dan Zuniga and his team are dedicated to finding the best outcomes for their clients. His attention to detail and always on attitude made my unfortunate scenario manageable.

He is always available to talk to you personally . My experience with him was amazing everything he said he could do for me he did and that's very hard to find in a lawyer today. He stuck by me the entire time and was also available directly. If you're thinking of using him as your attorney dont think twice go with him he is the man. YOU WONT REGRET IT AND THAT'S A FACT!!!

Josh told us what he would do for us and he did it. We were a little nervous about paying out up front but Josh delivered! He is passionate about his work, that's for sure. We are very pleased with the outcome of our case that was involving consumer fraud law. Also, another thing we love about Josh is he always has a kind, polite, professional demeanor to his clients. He is patient and explains things and answered all of our questions and concerns. He always got back to us promptly.

I’m an attorney, too, so when I say Hampton Keen is my go to for any personal injury case, whether my own or for a friend, I mean it. Hampton is extremely bright and hard working, but I think what I like best about him is his kind heart. He really cares about his clients, in a way you don’t see too often. No matter how busy he is, you never feel he doesn’t have time for you. And his results are amazing! Honestly I can’t say enough good things about him and I’m thrilled to write this review.

I hired Hampton Keen for a small personal injury matter. Hampton handles a lot of big, important cases but he always had time for me if I needed him. I never felt less important than any of his other clients. I also always felt confident that he cared about me and my situation and wanted to do the best for me. And he really came through in a big way. I will always recommend him to anyone who asks. He made a difficult time much more pleasant and made a big change in my life. I will always be grateful and would never use anyone else.

Hampton Keen may well be the best personal injury lawyer the world has seen. If you, a friend, or a family member are in an accident I definitely recommend him over any other lawyer. Not only is Hampton a great lawyer, but he works hard to make sure his clients are satisfied in the end. For Hampton, helping his clients are his number one goal. Thank you Hampton for helping my family and me!!

Glenn was recommended to us by a close friend and we are so pleased with him. He was ALWAYS available to talk to us when we had any questions or concerns. He kept us in the loop throughout the whole process. Glenn and his assistant Michele always got back to us in a timely manner. They took a horrible situation that our family experienced and helped us through the entire process. Glenn and his team settled very quickly and worked very hard to get us an amount that our family deserved. We highly recommend him to anyone who has been in an accident. You won’t be disappointed!

My wife and I would like to send our sincere thanks and gratitude for the representation that your firm provided for us on our case. We would like to personally thank Ben, Astrid, Pete and mostly Shana. I received many calls from Shana and Astrid. The explanations for each step of this journey were so very helpful in helping us to truly understand this process. I do believe that your firm had our best interest at heart. Once again, Sherry and I sincerely thank you for all your hard work in accomplishing a good outcome for us and also avoiding going to trial. I will strongly recommend this firm to my friends and family should they ever need representation.

I'm 56 and have never took the time to review anybody good or bad. But after firing my first lawyer, then hiring Todd and getting such fantastic results I owed him this review. He makes you feel like your the only case he's working on. Takes the time to explain any questions you may have (even if he's already explained it to you before) never makes you feel rushed. He's young, intelligent, aggressive, competitive, detailed and fair. He blew the insurance company out of the water at trial. This was a bad time for me and my wife, Todd made it bearable. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

I have worked with Jason on various projects for more than ten years now. Now only is he smart as a whip, but he has the kind of ethical and moral compass that shows honor to himself and the profession. If I ever need help in Florida, he and his partner Mike are my 'go to' lawyers.

I am a former claims adjuster, have worked with many attorneys and have found that social skills are as important as legal skills when's settling a case; Bill is adept at both. After accepting the bike accident claim, we developed a strategy that he and his team implemented with stunning effect. They worked with the medical providers to satisfy their needs. They also worked with multiple insurance parties to help them toward a resolution without litigation. Ultimately, all our needs were met with Bill and his team doing all the work. I am more than satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend Bill and his team.

The insurance companies know they will have a real fight on their hands when Bill Bone is on the other side. And they usually settle with him, he is that good.Smart,prepared,diplomatic....but one tough lawyer. He helped me in my car accident, and I know I got the best advice. He knew all the ins and outs. Thank God I have only had to use him one time. If I ever needed a lawyer again for any personal injury case, I would call Bill Bone.All the locals know he is the best.

Bill Bone is an excellent lawyer and is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the law.

"I have worked with several attorneys over the years, but I have never felt like a priority until I had the pleasure of working with William T. Abel, Esq. From the start, Bill demonstrated high integrity and great communication, making the legal process as smooth as possible. His genuine professional conduct and personalized service set him apart from the rest. Bill is results-driven and managed to achieve a favorable outcome for me in a timely manner. His trustworthiness is unmatched, and you can tell by the results that his peers highly respect him—a crucial factor in securing a good outcome. I highly recommend Bill to anyone seeking legal representation; he truly goes above and beyond."

I would like to start off by saying that this is the first time I’ve ever needed a lawyer. Needless to say I was nervous, anxious, and didn’t even know which way to turn. I got very lucky that Nicholas C. Maniotis and paralegal Jo Hunerberg were assigned to my case. Everything was handled swiftly and professionally. They also made sure I was fully aware and completely understood what was going on every step of the way. I am extremely satisfied and forever grateful that such a scary experience turned into such a positive one. Thank you again Nicolas! I will definitely be recommending you to anyone who needs it for sure!

I cannot say enough good things about Gabriel Isasi and the incredible team at Lytal and Reiter! From start to finish, they provided exceptional legal expertise, guidance, and support.

I was out of state and so upset and overwhelmed and Haneen was kind, knowledgeable, patient, professional, and absolutely wonderful to me. I’ve had bad experiences with some male lawyers so I really felt more comfortable with a female and Haneen was by my side every step of the way. Cannot more highly recommend her.

I highly recommend David Vitale for his exceptional legal skills and professionalism. He was meticulous, precise, and thorough in every aspect of the case. His writing and courtroom arguments were not only intellectual but also extremely well-crafted, showcasing his ability to present analytical and detailed arguments that left no gaps for the opposition to exploit.
What truly stood out was his teamwork and his ability to provide support wherever it was needed. He additionally took time out of his preplanned vacation to do trial prep at my request, ensuring that I was comfortable in the days leading up to the trial. He offered valuable advice and guidance throughout, but when I had my own ideas and chose a different path, he respected my wishes without pushing me. His ability to listen and balance his expertise with my perspective was key to building trust. His professionalism and collaborative approach were truly exceptional.

I've been here on several occasions and I am appalled at the demeanor these attorneys have towards their delivery drivers. They act as if they're God's gift on earth. I have a little advice for them... just remember that we are potentially customers and being humble goes a long way. Practice what you preach. We refer our families and friends to the businesses we service. I am not impressed and it's sad to say that my grandmother was your client in the past. It's safe to say that our family will look elsewhere in the future.

As the founder and CEO of a national and international organization, I knew I was no better than the team around me. I'm sure Searcy Law feels the same about the members of their team. For that reason, my wife and I wanted to share with you that David Vitale and his team performed well above what we ever anticipated in our recent lawsuit in a real estate transaction matter. It was a joy watching a Summa Cum Laude outperform the best this corporate defendant had to offer. Congratulations on choosing such a great representative to the Searcy Law team.

I have to give a big round of applause to Troy Klein. He did an excellent job in handling my domestic violence and divorce case. This process was not easy emotionally but I was able to rest assured that he was going to fight for what was rightfully mine. Troy knew my ex husband of 15 years more than I knew him within our first consultation. Because of Troy's knowledge and expertise, he knew how to go about strategically fighting for me and my children. You need someone that will listen, understand, allow you to make choices and fight on your behalf and Troy Klein has mastered the ability to go after what you might not even have the strength to do or knowledge to get! My ex husband said " you got what you got because of a good lawyer!" Way to go Troy. Thank you again!

- 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.

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.
