If you want personalized, expert legal advice and litigation support from an experienced attorney, then look no further than Parisi Law. You get Jerry, NOT an inexperienced associate. Jerry, Cyndi and Leah- thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me and my family over the past few years. It’s easy, call Parisi

Justin helped me with a situation that I was not aware of. While helping a member of my family I was able to reach out to him for assistance and questions and with doing so he was able to get me the money that I should have received over a year ago. He takes the time to explain with you how certain processes work and actually cares about his clients he takes on. From this point forward if myself or someone I know is involved in my same situation he will be the first person I reached out to or refer to a family member or friend.

After my motorcycle accident I was focused on my recovery and knew that I needed good legal representation. Once my research was completed I selected Law Tigers and I have been very pleased with Geoff Trachtenberg and the Law Tigers team. Geoff has always been very accommodating and has made himself available when I have had questions. I'm especially pleased with his ability to explain legal terms and lay out a strategy for success. The entire team has been very supportive and I would highly recommend Geoff Trachtenberg to anyone who finds themselves in need of awesome legal representation!.

Where do I begin with writing this review? Since my motorcycle collision with an F150 truck back in September 2013, I have sought closure and compensation for the incident. I was pulled out in front of by this said F150 truck with no warning. After my couple of week stay in the hospital and quite a few large hospital bills later, I needed immediate representation to try and retrieve compensation for lost income, damage to myself and my motorcycle. I found this by a recommendation of a family friend when they referred me to Levenbaum Trachtenberg and the Law Tigers. When I first called the Law Tigers, I was greeted in my home as I was out of work at the time and could not really travel. They assured me that they would fight for me in the very best possible way legally. After many obstacles and some time later, my case went to trial and we won. I have this law firm to sincerely thank for this and I want to especially thank Mr. Henry and Mr. Trachtenberg for representing me during the toughest times during this case. These guys will fight for you and they are genuine, sincere and respectful. I have nothing but praise for the Law Tigers, thank you, you guys are AWESOME!!!

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.

No one wants to be in an accident, let alone get attorneys involved. But, when the bills start flooding in and insurance companies, along with hospitals keep calling it can be overwhelming. 10 minutes into my consultation with Angela Zervos and I felt the weight lift off my shoulders. Zervos & Calta isn’t a giant law firm that requires you to correspond online because they don’t have time for you. I could call at any time and have answers within seconds. Stephanie, (Super paralegal), kept me apprised of my situation on a timely basis, so I was always in the loop. Bottom line, this firm treated me like a family member and not a case number. I would highly recommend Zervos & Calta if you’re ever in need of an equalizer!

I was in a car accident while on vacation at my brothers the 2nd day, needless to say this ruined the last 9 days I was there, we contacted Angela's office as she came highly recommended, I, by my own admission, am not a good client because I don't like dealing with everything that goes along with a case but Angela explained everything to me and was always available throughout, she followed up all the time making sure I did all the necessary Dr appointments so that my injuries would be treated and was very apathetic, I can't thank her or her associates enough

I was in a lawsuit for over 2 years with a prior attorney and referred to Angela by a mutual friend. She was immediately there & ready to help me. We FaceTimed before I got the chance to meet her in person & from that call alone, I dropped my prior attorney and had Angela represent me. The first time I went to her office she was to the point and gave me every possible outcome for my situation. My case wasn’t by any means an easy one but I am beyond grateful for how organized and determined Angela was to help me settle this. My second time meeting with Angela my case was settled. I’m still in shock by how swift and efficiently her and her entire office were able to end my case. I am blown away by her professionalism & I’m extremely grateful for all of her help. The only thing I regret is not meeting her sooner!

I spoke with Attorney Kopelson (Robert) last week concerning a traffic accident (rear-end collision). I respectfully disagree with the very few negative Yelp reviews of Robert. I think the review gives an unfair, one-sided depiction of Robert's personality. After speaking with Robert over the phone during a consultation with him, here are some of my honest reflections: ---He generously gave me time to tell him about my case and to holistically understand my situation. -- He listened, asked me the right questions, and gave me sound legal advice based on all the relevant information I provided. ---He was forthright and honest throughout our entire conversation. ---He showed skill in being able to place himself in the position of the other side and to thoughtfully consider the other side's arguments. ---He demonstrated ethical discernment as he evaluated my case. ---Robert was friendly and open, which made talking with him and getting to know him a truly enjoyable experience. I wish I could have spent more time talking to him! I believe Robert makes a true difference in people's lives, one contact and one case at a time. I highly recommend you calling Attorney Kopelson if you have any questions concerning a personal injury and want to talk to an ethical, honest, experienced (40-year law practice), sharp, smart, and exceptional person/attorney to represent you.

There is not too many attorneys that would take an hour out of their day to get a free legal advice to a party they are not representing so we thank him very much and we want him to be recognized that’s why if you ever need a great attorney that is very passionate and caring and that will fight for you this is the attorney for you blessings ..

I retained Mr Hausmann based on an excellent referral in September of 2017. I certainly wasn’t disappointed, and I’m not easy to please, being a former legal assistant in Minnesota some years ago. I was in an automobile accident and Mr Hausmann knew exactly what to do; when to do it and ultimately negotiated a settlement that was fair. His staff also was extremely helpful when he wasn’t available. Calls were returned timely and questions answered sufficiently. He has excellent negotiation skills and I would definitely recommend him. His office is also very easy to get , and that was important to me, being retired.

She checked in on my husband during his hospitalizations, surgeries and recovery. She truly cares about him and what he is going through. Not only does she care about her clients, she's an amazing attorney too! She was direct with the at fault party's insurance company with what he expected. She worked with our medical insurance company to negotiate the amount we had to pay them back and she got it down low. She won my husband's case quickly and we received more than expected!

Matt Bretz and his team handled my personal injury case in spectacular fashion culminating in a fair and just settlement well before going to trial. Their successful track record of years of ethical practices and knowledgeable, effective representation served me well. The lawyer you choose does make a difference. I suffered a debilitating injury in a fall due to unsafe conditions while dining in a Kansas tourist town. We tried to negotiate a fair settlement with the proprietor's insurance company ourselves but they offered us only a laughable, token amount to sign off on all claims since their “investigation” concluded that their client was not at fault. My husband had purchased a couple books on the subject of seeking a premises liability settlement without hiring a lawyer, which greatly aided our case. Learning from the many actual case histories detailed Matt’s book, we were able to compose a compelling and eloquent Demand Letter. Still, the insurance company knew they had the upper hand especially since we were out-of-state and out-gunned. So they hoped that we would simply give up in frustration fighting an uphill battle. One of the books that we purchased from Amazon titled “And Justice for All: Win Your Injury Case with Honesty and Integrity” was co-authored by Matthew Bretz and Melinda Young of Hutchinson, Kansas. Besides the book’s excellent content, the law firm of Bretz and Young was a perfect fit geographically since we now needed a lawyer that was licensed to practice in Kansas yet not in the immediate vicinity of the same town. The stars were aligned which led us to call Matt’s office and shortly afterward he pulled off the road to call us for details. He enthusiastically convinced us that he wanted to take this case (for public safety concerns as well) and was confident in a favorable outcome. He followed up by having photos taken of the deteriorating premise conditions the following weekend and he took charge from day one. Matt is a very cordial and compassionate gentlemen but when it came to his negotiating skills in mediation, his tenacity and experience shone through. Mediation is an increasingly common (and often mandated) formal procedure before assigning a court date that often results in early settlement. We quickly learned to appreciate having Matt on our side. The opposing lawyer team tried a couple tricks but Matt saw right through them and put them on the defense. He then cleverly devised a simple yet effective formula of assigning a calculated value of pain and suffering that a jury could easily assign a tangible figure. Just the mention of presenting this to a jury in closing arguments instantly broke the stalemate in mediation negotiations, leading to a quick and rewarding resolution without the time-consuming expense and uncertainty of a jury trial. Regardless of whether or not you might try going it alone, you would do well to purchase a couple books such as Matt’s to educate yourself for one of the most important financial events of your life. Before you say or do something that might jeopardize your case, take the time to research and learn how the legal system works. Most likely if your case rises to a high dollar figure, you will benefit greatly by choosing the right lawyer to achieve a fair and just settlement. We found our perfect match in Bretz and Young.

Even though attorney Craig Walkon did not have an opportunity to work on our medical malpractice case due to his case-load commitments, he nonetheless provided us with some of the most caring, heart-felt and right-on target answers to get our case moving forward. He was there at the onset, and during; at some of the most critical moments of our case when we encountered difficult technical and financial conflicts, which, had they not been for attorney Walkon's well-thought out advises, would have resulted in detrimental impasses. Our medical malpractice case reached the finish line with over $1million in award. And although we worked with attorney Craig Walkon's referral, we can say with conviction that attorney Walkon was the catalyst guiding our case successfully to the finish line.

I consulted Craig Walkon after talking to another attorney about a medical malpractice case I potentially had. The practice I talked to wasn't able to help me but highly recommended Mr. Walkon. Mr. Walkon listened to me with patience and he really cared about what I had been through not only physically but emotionally as well. He had me send him all of my records (which were a lot) and he took the time to go through them for free. Mr. He offered me solid legal advice and I was able to settle my case outside of a courthouse. It was his legal expertise that helped get me through my situation with out going from attorney to attorney. I didn't hire him as my attorney because he gave me such great advice I didn't need an attorney, yet he still answered my phone calls and let me ask him legal questions throughout my medical nightmare. He is very trustworthy and if I ever needed to consult an attorney again, I would go straight to Mr. Walkon.

I found Jim by accident while "googling" "NM ski laws". The firm name showed up on a document explaining what I had "googled". I also asked an attorney friend of mine for a recommendation. I talked to each of the 3 names I was given. One said I needed someone with much experience in ski law and the other two were not impressive. So, I contacted Jim Chalat and from our first conversation, I knew he was the one to represent my wife. He was very familiar with NM ski law even though from the beginning he told us that he could not go to court in NM but would direct the case with a local attorney of his choosing. We engaged him to represent my wife and we were very pleased with his expertise in skiing, knowledge of NM ski law and in negotiating with the potential defendants insurance company. He was up front with us every step of the way. He got us what we thought was a reasonable recovery given that my wife decided that she did not want to go to court. We hope never to need his services again but would not hesitate to engage him in the future should the need arise.

I am very pleased with Steele Olmstead. He is a great Lawyer and really cares about his clients. I know first hand because he was able to help me when others had failed me. He has the experience you will need to go against the big guys. I was in a hard place physically and mentally from someone who tee-boned me and my girlfriend while we were on my motorcycle. Steele has the experience you will need to fight the insurance companies. I personally recommend Steele Olmstead for any injury case you may have. Thanks again Steele for helping me get through these tough times!

My son was in a horrible motorcycle accident and his right leg was amputated by the vehicle that hit him. He was in ICU and I was by his side every minute. So, when it came to dealing with all the legal stuff, I was feeling so overwhelmed, I just wanted to take care of my son and Kellen made that possible. When we met him I knew he was the attorney we needed. Kellen is so kind, compassionate and caring. We could've of had a better man fighting for us. He kept us informed throughout the entire process and he would call just check on how we were doing and get updates on my son's progress. He worked hard to get everything taken care and we are so grateful. Kellen isn't just an amazing attorney, he is an amazing man! If you're in need of help he's definitely your man! Thank you for everything Kellen!

We got T-boned at an intersection by an SUV going about 60 miles an hour. The SUV was coming off a freeway at full speed and running a red light. Our body on frame 4Runner saved our lives, Kellen saved our bank account. And, made sure all our bills were paid. Not only does Kellen know what he is doing, he is passionate about it. Passionate, professional, thorough, and willing to fight for our case. Kellen tracked down the driver trying to avoid service of court papers. Kellen tracked down the driver to a location outside the U.S. to get the driver deposed. Kellen filed our case in court to make sure the next time the driver causes a crash there is an official record of what happened, and maybe the police will be more likely to take the driver to jail and take away the driver’s license. Kellen kept our case on track despite all the court delays caused by the COVID shutdowns. Nothing can replace the time we lost in our lives recovering. But Kellen did replace our dignity with a fair settlement. We know he will do the same for you. Thank you Kellen, and thanks to your staff too. We will never forget what you did for us.

I was struck and injured while riding my motorcycle and left with permanent injuries. The recovery from the physical injury and financial stress was overwhelming and left me spiraling. I spoke with a few different accident injury lawyer firms and found Kellen which helped to relieve a lot of the anxiety I was feeling at the time. Kellen fought tirelessly for over 4 years and I couldn't be happier at the outcome. I would recommend Kellen for anyone looking for a personal injury attorney. If you are in a position to need a personal injury attorney you want someone with experience who isn't afraid to go to bat for you and Kellen is that person. Great, consistent communication throughout the process.

Last year I was injured by a reckless driver and I had know idea what to do from there. I fortunately found Michael Wilensky of Slater & Wilensky, LLC in 2012. Michael and his staff provided an excellent level of service. I was kept informed of everything that was happening with my case. Michael outlined from the very beginning what my options were. Also, Michael was always available to talk whenever I had questions. The outcome of my case was better than I anticipated. Initially, I had some reservations about hiring an attorney to handle my case but in the end I was very glad that I made the decision to hire Michael Wilensky!

I couldn't ask for better counsel when it comes to Antonio. I had a pretty difficult contract that I needed to get through with a new agency I was signing to and Antonio made me feel supported and clear on all of the terms that were presented. He made sure I understood the areas that I had difficulty with and went through all of the fine print along with me. He is amazing at what he does, looks out for his client's best interest and is the only person I trust to work with with on such matters. You won't regret having Antonio on your side and as your legal counsel.

After five years of working with a different medical malpractice firm on my case, it was time for me to seek a different legal counsel. I felt my initial attorney did not invest the time nor the effort I was promised during my first (and only legal) consultation. Last year, I retained the Martin Law Firm. After just two weeks, my new counsel knew the intricate ins and outs of my case, worked with the speed and integrity I had hoped for in this process, and (I felt) had a deeper knowledge of and empathy for the injuries I had sustained and will always suffer from. With Martin Law, there was an appropriate, but delicate, sense of urgency and fight for me, the client, in mind. A precise, thorough, and well-communicated plan for forward movement in my case was shared, and the momentum in my litigation process began. As consummate professionals, Jeffrey and his partner, Shauna, checked in on me often and kept me updated each and every step of the way. Knowing what I know now, I should have shopped around for attorneys and not settled for the first one I had consulted with years ago. Had I started with Martin Law, I'm confident my case would have been settled years ago. I am forever grateful for their expertise and would never hesitate to send a friend or family member their way if ever in need.

I hired Jeff Martin to represent me in my injury case. He has done excellent job handling it and negotiating very good settlement with insurance company. Jeff is one of those "rare breed" No Nonsense attorneys who go straight to the point with you, honestly answers your questions, and actually pick up the phone every time you call him. He has deep knowledge and experience in injury field, and he knows how to apply it while he works on the case. Those characteristics also apply to his office assistant Barbara - they both very efficient. On top of all that - Jeff and Barbara are simply very nice, pleasant people to work with - so Martin Law is my attorney's office of choice and I strongly recommend it to anyone with injury case.

If you need a personal injury lawyer I can highly recommend Charles “Chuck” Philips. He just won a case for me and I was very impressed with his legal skills and his caring personality. He doesn’t advertise because he relies on satisfied clients, like me, to personally recommend him to others. My personal recommend is sincere. Advertisements are written by ad agencies and may have nothing to do with the truth.

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.

If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.

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.

What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?

A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
  • Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
  • Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
  • Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
  • Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.

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.

Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer

Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. What types of damages can I recover?
    Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
  • Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
  • Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
  • Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
  • Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
  • List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
  • Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
