This lawyer will not respond to emails in a timely manner. When he does, it will be short and not very personable. He “worked” for me for three years awaiting a disability claim. During the final prep appointment, he said we were probably not going to win. Not because of me, but because of my medical team. He spent three years not even paying attention to anything with my case until hours before the hearing. He spends more time defending himself on google reviews, paying money for billboards, and I will add the secretary he has had in his office is unbelievably unprofessional. He will mock you, he will smirk at you, and he will make you feel lesser than. I had to turn down my hearing since he said he wasn’t confident with winning. I regret sticking with a random lawyer I sought out on Google. Edited to add: He actually said that “he could fight it, he could do it” after he told me he was not confident in my winning of the case. That’s when I made the decision to withdraw from the hearing. Andrew did not tell me to do so. He kept insisting he could win. I had zero confidence in him.

A real lifesaver is Andrew C. Burrell, PA. After being in a vehicle accident, I experienced a sense of being confused and overwhelmed. The staff at Burrell PA was attentive to my needs and took the time to comprehend my circumstances. Their knowledge and experience were priceless, and they put forth endless effort to make sure I was fairly compensated. They reduced the stress of the procedure by being accessible to answer my queries and deal with my worries at all times. I heartily urge anybody in need of a committed and sympathetic personal injury lawyer to contact Andrew C. Burrell PA.

Pros
1
Effective in handling disability and social security cases
“Mr Burrell took on my case & consistently kept in contact. His staff was also very helpful. Upon meeting Mr Burrell, I could tell he was a caring person who wanted the best outcome for me, his client. He is a professional with heart. He knows his business of law to the T. He was exceptionally instrumental in my positive outcome in my Social Security Disability outcome. I recommend him 100%.”
2
Hardworking and committed to client cases
“It has been a long and hard fight to get the benefits that I rightly deserve but due to the professionalism and knowledge of Mr. Burrell I found out yesterday that I was approved. I would like to thank Mr. Burrell for his hard work and commitment to my case that allowed us to prevail.”
3
Effective in securing settlements and benefits for clients
“Andrew got a full settlement for me and my passenger however there was less insurance by the at fault driver than what my total bills added up to. He worked with the medicals to get a compromise on the billing and still managed to have some for my pocket.”
Cons
1
Poor communication and responsiveness with clients
“whenever I would call with questions regarding my case he would always have the worst attitude and would be very short with me making me feel uncomfortable to call”
2
Delayed in providing updates and taking action on cases
“Called for a form to file a claim almost 2 weeks ago and still haven't received it. I know it doesn't take that long to place a form in an envelope and put it in a mailbox.”
3
Lack of transparency and follow-through with client matters
“My children were in a vehicle accident and we hired Andrew as their attorney and went through several court appearances and signed over settlement check to be put in a trust for my younger child but have never heard anything from andrew nor the financial institution where he has the trust setup.”

Mrs. Ida Henley helped me out tremendously after my wreck dealing with the legal side. Before having her as my attorney I was dealing with recovering from my car accident and doctors appointment, but I was also stressing about getting the money I deserved to be able to heal and recover from my accident. She made it incredibly easy and took a huge weight off my shoulders. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She was on top of everything from contacting the insurance companies to contacting to other driver’s attorney. She handled everything so fast and stayed on top of getting me settled. She made sure to try every avenue before settling against the other driver’s attorney. I’m truly grateful to have had her during these hard times. She was everything I needed from an attorney and more!

The man is absolute genious. He understands the law and has no problem with hard work. Make no mistake, Mr. Bennett will represent with compassion. Mr. Bennett fought a DUI Case for me in which two attorneys with over 20 years experience advised me to take a plea agreement. And what is most interesting in this case, the DUI was his first. To reiterate, where other's would have been happy to take my money and have me plea, Mr. Bennett made a strong case that resulted in a win. He is driven and caring and worth the call when in need.

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 Gulfport, Mississippi?

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.
