Only will take your case if you have done the footwork in its entirety. Couldn’t even provide a consultation. Not surprised by this. Seems like this is the norm for these Las Vegas lawyers.

On the evening of September 24, 2023, at 6:15 p.m. I was driving to my work as a night shift nurse at UMC as I have done 100’s of times before. I was traveling from my home in Henderson north on the 95 freeway to exit at MLK Blvd. At the 95/MLK off ramp I waited for the light to turn green then turned left onto MLK. I was then T-Boned by another vehicle traveling south on MLK that ran the red light. The full front of his car had severe damage. The right side of my car had moderate damage but was undriveable due to damage to the right front wheel. I got out of my vehicle and approached the vehicle that struck me. He appeared to be intoxicated. He was attempting to leave and was speaking to me in Spanish. Then in English he told me “We go, no police.” I called 911 and a brief time later an NHP officer arrived. He took my statement and called for a Spanish speaking officer to come and speak to the other driver. A Spanish speaking officer arrived and spoke to the other driver. The NHP officer gave me a report number. At this time, a friend or family member of the second driver arrived. They did a little work to his car then drove away. I could not drive my car due to the damage. My husband arrived and called AAA to have our car towed. Once my Adrenaline, calmed down my back and shoulder were hurting, and I went to the St. Rose De Lima Emergency Room from the accident scene where they performed a CT scan, X-Rays, and prescribed pain killers. I went home and rested and lost five days of work. I went to St. Rose Physical Therapy for 23 visits over a three month period and had three follow up doctors’ visits. Our car had $3745.40 worth of damage and was repaired by Frank’s Auto Body. We paid a deductible of $500.00. I was hit by a driver who was a Mexican citizen with a Mexican driver’s license. He was driving a car rented in Mexico. He had an insurance policy for the rental car with an office located in California. We contacted the Ed Bernstein Law Office the day after the accident because they have an office near our home. We provided them with the police report, photos, road maps, etc. They contacted the insurance company of the other driver and told us at first they were not responding then later told us they refused liability as their driver claimed I had run the light and his was green, which was not true. He hit me, he had severe front-end damage, his speed was fast enough that his air bags were deployed, my damage was on the passenger side. There were no witnesses, and the police report did not indicate who was at fault since neither officer witnessed the accident. Our insurance company, USAA, after their investigation declared we were not at fault. After six months the Ed Bernstein law firm informed us they were dropping the case as there were no witnesses and declared it to be a He said/She said case that they could not win. We disagree as the relative damage to each vehicle clearly shows the other driver hit me. I feel the Ed Bernstein Law Office gave up too easily without fighting for me. It took a month from the time of the telephone call informing us that they were dropping the case to when we received the certified letter dropping the case so I could proceed with another law firm.

I was recommended to Julia and VIP Law after getting rear ended by a driver under the influence. Within a few months I was paid the maximum coverage from the drivers insurance. She was good at communicating and kept me up to date every step of the way. I would recommend VIP Law to anyone.

I have had the worst luck with car accidents but the best luck with my attorney. Julia has been nothing but helpful, informative, and honest. I’ve gotten into 3 car accidents in 2 years and have gone back to her every time. She handles matters quickly and efficiently while not leaving out any details. I’d hope to not be in any more car accidents but if I was, I’d go VIP Law!

Gabrielle Jones is a compassionate, professional attorney that works hard for her clients. I am fortunate to have been referred to her, and I don't think anyone could have handled my divorce, custody, and support issues as seamlessly as she did. She took SO much weight off my shoulders. I HIGHLY recommend her!

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 Las Vegas, Nevada?

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.
