Was a bad phone call and a horrible first impression at best. People never forget how you make them feel.
Response! As you can see from his Response that he has lack of understanding and did not listen to understand but listen to respond which is an horrible trait. If he would have ask why I'm looking for a person down south than he would have understand that I was told they had better litigation lawyers down south. Sir, you was rude and very loud to me. When people calling you it's never for anything good. Who call you happy they had to get a bankruptcy attorney? Than he saying it's a scam? Is advise advice a scam, sir? I work for myself and step away from nursing because of my injuries until sometime this year when I'm back practicing, and able to stand up the twelve hour shifts. Sir, empathy, moral and respect, goes a long ways in life. If I use whatever you said I was using must be very good since I file myself and going after my creditors that is violating the stay. Even doe you talk to me very bad I still wish you well and hope you treat your other potential clientsWe have their dignity and respect that you didn't give me.

I had the pleasure of working with Walker Law Firm during the recent sale of my home, and I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional service.
From start to finish, they demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that made the entire closing process smooth and stress-free. What truly set them apart, however, was the personable attentive nature of my attorney, Eddie Walker.
His attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the sale was handled meticulously, while his proactive communication kept me informed at every step.
I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance for real estate transactions.

Kelsey, where do I even begin? It was such an honor to have you represent me for the second time, and I can’t recommend your services enough. Kelsey is incredibly kind and professional, and she made what could have been a very stressful situation so much more manageable. She took the time to sit down with me and explain every step of what our upcoming months would look like, always keeping me informed and answering any questions I had. What really stands out to me about Kelsey and her team is their commitment to fighting for the best possible outcome. They worked tirelessly to ensure I received the best settlement and consistently had my best interests in mind. Additionally, Kelsey provided excellent recommendations for medical treatment and ensured I had access to the best care throughout my recovery. Overall, my experience was excellent, and I’m incredibly grateful for both her and Maria’s support. I highly recommend Kelsey she truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re well taken care of. Thank you so much for everything!!!

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.

I am pleased to report that I have received the absolute highest quality of representation from Jack P. Hill, far exceeding my expectations in regards to his legal expertise, professionalism, experience, compassion and care, and the final outcome in my case. He and his amazing team fought for me, educated me, and delivered, when I was in a hopeless situation with no one to turn to. Jack and his assistant, Kikka Claudio, gave me personal attention at every request, they were completely dedicated to getting me the best medical care, the best private investigator, prompt attention, precise communication, and justice. They set the highest standards for their profession. They were dedicated to me in a time of great suffering and they did all that they could to relieve my pain, taking extra care to make sure that all of my needs were met until I was made whole again. They did so from the bottom of their hearts, and I will never forget it. Neither can I ever thank them enough.
Sincerely,

In the end, we received an incredible financial result and are now able to move forward from the tragedy.

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.

Outstanding experience from start to finish.
From the support staff to the attorneys, this is a well oiled machine that goes to bat for you and wins.
I was unfortunately in a 2nd accident and based on how Anidjar & Levine handled my 1st accident, I retained them again for the 2nd one.
Not too big and not too small, I recommend Anidjar & Levine as a perfect fit.

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 was involved in a horrific bicycle accident and severely injured. When I decided to pursue my case legally it seemed that everyone in the biking community all recommended Bill Bone. I’m now adding my name to that long list of recommendations. He and his legal, office, administrative and investigative staff were extremely competent, thorough, professional, and aggressively pursued my case. I was very satisfied with the final settlement and recommend his services unequivocally!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
