Top review highlights

Pros
1
Excellent and professional legal representation
“Jesse Lieberman and his team at Lieberman Injury Law are fantastic. After a car accident I waited months before I decided to hire an attorney. Jesse takes the time to really explain to his clients what the whole process will be like, and he does not rush you to settle your case.”
2
Compassionate and personalized attention to clients
“From the beginning, when we were not able to speak directly to Jesse or anyone at the firm because of our injury, they reached out to our relatives who were the spokespeople. Our son, daughter, brothers were in touch with Jesse directly and there was constant back and forth communication.”
3
Successful in achieving favorable outcomes for clients
“I am so grateful that Jesse was able to help me get in to see the right doctors and make sure all of my medical bills were paid. Jesse is a rare type of attorney in this day and age, he truly cares about all of his clients and is there for you every step of the way.”
4
Multilingual and accommodating for diverse clients
“For me as an immigrant who came to the country as an adult, it is a bit harder to deal with certain problems. I would like to express my gratitude to Lieberman Injury Law's team that came through for me at a very difficult time. I was referred to this company by a friend of mine. From the start, I felt at ease and taken care of by every member of the team, from an administrative assistant, to a case manager, to two great attorneys, Rhona Leeman and Jesse Lieberman.. The fact that I also had an interpreter in Oxana, a case manager there, was extremely helpful while navigating through the case process.”
5
Highly recommended by past clients
“I enthusiastically recommend Lieberman Injury Law to anyone in need of excellent legal help. I, myself, would hire this firm again without hesitation.”
Cons
1
Some clients experienced unresponsiveness or lack of communication
“Not a good law form my accident was last year and up to now they can't finish up my case they don't even return phone calls😡”
2
A few clients felt the firm's peak performance had declined over time
“I think old Jesse Lieberman has wore out his peak of winning the case. Everyone has their Peak I'm pretty sure his is over.”

I just finished working with Chris and cannot thank him enough for handling my case with an auto insurance company. He became involved because I had spent five months making no progress and beginning to believe nothing positive was in sight. However, once Chris consulted with me, I felt much more confident and he agreed to take my case and through his commitment and expertise he was able to make sure I received an extremely satisfactory settlement. Thank you so much for your dedication to your clients and their well being.

Mr Varca always has the clients interest as his first priority and his ability to drive to settlements in shorter than expected time frames is a tremendous benefit when considering overall legal expenses. I have found him to have excellent research skills and his ability to apply proper law to the case at hand is paramount in forming his legal opinions and justifying the position of arguments.

I hired Jonathan Sabghir to review and help Close on a 5 year lease with {2} 5 year options While there was not a mention about having a Crane on my Property helping to Roof the Hotel adjoining my property. The Roofing Company paid me for the access in order that the Roofing Material could be loaded on the Roof. The Landlord passed by the property and saw that there was Crane on the property and he felt that there was a Liability Issue if the Crane or any of the Employees damaged the Building or did harm to any of the individuals. Jonathan had the Roofing Company to Put up a Bond and get a $5 million Dollar Binder naming our Corporation and The Owner of the property as additionally insured.. he had the Roofing Company make up a Huge Company Sign on top of the Crane so it would give My Company additional exposure. Everyone was happy! This was my first of a long standing relationship with Jonathan Sabghir Esq..

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Deerfield Beach, Florida?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
