Attorney McKinnon was super professional & empathetic when we spoke. She was honest & open about her opinions on my case. She made me feel like I’m a human. She was never judgmental & she didn’t belittle me. She spoke to me with so much respect. She’s dignified & she won’t Stir you the wrong way. If I could give her a 10/10, I would. I wish I hired her to take on my case but I most definitely will be telling my friends & family about her.

Nick could not have been a better match for me and my personality. Attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond and takes the time to focus on his client constantly. I never had a question that went unanswered, if he didn't know the answer he found out. He isn't out to win you over, he is here for you in hopes of making you smile again and look at a positive light. Very uplifting, positive, encouraging and amazing attorney and person. I will be able to look at a negative impact on a part of my life in a more positive reassuring nature. I cannot put into words my thoughts or feelings on how I truly feel and what his representation has done for me. He will always have a special place in mine and my family's heart.

Charles Telfair is a great lawyer and wonderful person. My husband and I had a rather costly dispute with our old apartment complex, and needed a good lawyer. We received a reference for Charles and he took our case and resolved it in a very short period of time. We will definitely be using his services in our future legal issues!

Isaac Newlin was very prompt to get my DUI case resolved. From my initial call for consultation, to the final pretrial date, Issac expressed the highest level of professionalism and compassion possible. His thorough research and dedication to my case was proven through the outcome of my case. Several aspects were reduced and some even dismissed. A less capable attorney would be hard pressed to produce such results. His staff were kind, compassionate and more than willing to work through any feelings of unease I had, questions about my case, or simply just getting an update. Highly recommend to anyone else with similar legal issues.

Though many aspects are seen in all legal problems, DONT be fooled... Mr. Newlin will not let you down.
I give him the highest level of recommendation as a trial and legal Private Aid.

I was uncomfortable pursuing a personal injury claim, but I'd suffered an injury that left me unable to work for months and had to do something. At our initial meeting, Isaac put me at ease and gave me a realistic expectation of what a fair settlement might be and a sense of the timelines involved with this type of claim. Fourteen months later I received a settlement that allowed my wife and me to pay off my medical bills and covered the time when I'd been out of work. Isaac made an anxiety-provoking process stress-free. I strongly recommend him.

Richard is an extremely smart and savvy lawyer. He knows the law and uses it in unique ways to win! He shows a personal interest in my case and he made me feel protected as soon as I hired him.

Richard is a great lawyer. He handles cases with the utmost care and concern. He also returns telephone calls and responds to his own emails.
He litigated my case against a large insurance company when they refused to pay me for my substantial loss. In the end, the insurance company lost all of its motions in court and the case was ultimately resolved in my favor.
I thank Richard Rosenstein for all his hard work on my case and I recommend him without hesitation.

Chris was a lucky find for me. I was rear-ended lightly, but due to some rare medical conditions, i was injured well over what the average person would be. Not only did he overcome this, but i was awarded the maximum allowed on both policies. Chris is a fine man and any case he takes on will be handled professionally, intelligently, and efficiently, but most of all ethically. As a negotiator and litigator he is a fighter. As your attorney he is honest and a greater leader throughout the process. He will always be my go to!

Chris came to see me at the medical office where I was treated for my neck and head injuries. So I didn't have to drive to Downtown Cincinnati to meet with him. He consistently followed up with my doctors and was very organized in acquiring all of the information needed for my case, and following up with the insurance company. He did not waste any time!
In a world of "ambulance chasers" Chris is the exception. He was wonderfully kind and respectful. He repeatedly demonstrated a genuine concern for me.
He is very well established in the legal field and comports himself with integrity. He's a real attorney among the "ambulance chasers!"
My settlement was MORE that what I had expected. He did a great job!

Mr. Fisher took my case when three other lawyers turned it down. I was cut off on my motorcycle by a truck that drove away and although I had the license plate of the truck no other lawyer wanted to take the time to go and find the trucking company and the witness wouldnt cooperate. Once Mr. Fisher got involved within 3 weeks he got a good witness statement and had identified the trucking company. After that it only took a month for him to get all my bills paid and get me a settlement that was alot more than I was expecting.

From the moment that my wife and I met and consulted with Lee Kessinger, we were highly confident that we were going to recover from our tragic loss. Mr. Kessinger worked diligently and protected us throughout our extensive lawsuit. He communicated with us on a daily/weekly basis to keep us informed and to ensure that nothing was overlooked. Mr. Kessinger is very experienced, prompt, and professional; he truly cares. My wife and I do not feel that the outcome of our lawsuit would have been as significant for us and our business had we not chosen Lee Kessinger. We are forever grateful for Lee Kessinger and Kessinger Law Group's services.

I brought to Mr. Kessinger a specific medical injury case involving my child. It was a complicated case. Not only did he review the my son's medical record himself, but he also had a physician review the record so at our first meeting, he was able to thoroughly explain the pros, cons and legal merits of my potential case. I highly recommend Benjamin Lee Kessinger as a thorough, professional attorney.

If you are looking for a family lawyer Kim Kleinhans and her team are amazing. I would highly recommend this law firm, they go above and beyond to make sure they listen to what you want and need. They will also do the same when it comes to representing you and your family in your case. Kim represented me in a Child Custody case and put in a lot of long hard hours over many months and helped us get the outcome we wanted. She was always very responsive and quick to answer to my emails, calls and texts. Any kind of advice I needed at the time, she was there to help. Kim and her team were always super respectful to us and let us know the truth about what we wanted to try and accomplish. I will always come back to this law firm in the future.

Rip Andrews is an outstanding individual, and extraordinary attorney, who possesses what can best be described as a "tenacity for justice". Extremely talented and intelligent, Rip Andrews has genuine integrity, compassion, and patience that I have found to be unparalleled in the legal world. He combines his tremendous skill-set with the ability to truly connect with a client on a personal level.
Taking on our extremely difficult, lengthy, and complicated wrongful death case, Rip successfully navigated countless setbacks and unexpected turns, demanding and ensuring that justice was served. Without question, our case would have not reached a positive conclusion without Rip's amazing performance.
Rip Andrews is a true family man, a wonderful person, and operates on a remarkable level to which all attorneys should aspire.

Rip Andrews is a young brilliant attorney. He took my case and breathed life into it. He connected with the jurors with his opening statement and never lost them. He was respectful to the other side but never failed to fight for me when required. He took input from me and incorporated it into the arguments when necessary using his own words. He maintains composure and is level headed. If you have a legitament case, I highly recommend Rip. He can make the difference you need. He will make old school lawyers look like buffoons. At least he did in my case.

Mr. Andrews is a very professional and thorough. He was upfront with me regarding the difficulties of my case, and advised as to my options. Throughout the preparations/information gathering he was genuinely interested in what I had to report, and advised the best course of action based upon the facts I presented and those that were uncovered during research. I was impressed by his composure in the court room and through jury selection. In the end, the case was won. Mr. Andrews assisted me in getting a desirable outcome, as well as finding closure for a very difficult time.

One day, my life changed while I was driving on the expressway and I was hit by an unlicensed driver at a high rate of speed. Immediately I felt pain and after the shock wore off I was lucky enough to find a lawyer named Mr. Gennarelli (Scott) that very same day. He held my hand from the beginning and really guided me through a scary experience. Scott is more than a lawyer, he truly cares about me as a person and not just another case. He is someone I could always speak to when I had a question and his staff is very kind and always sent whatever paperwork needed to be submitted immediately to the insurance companies. Scott was able to settle my case extremely quickly and for the maximum amount (which is practically unheard of in auto accident cases I have heard of in the past). Scott really treated me like a friend and explained all of the processes to me and really fought for me. He went above and beyond and I cannot thank him enough for changing my life. He was always honest and reliable and made me feel like I was his top priority even though he is very busy fighting for others just like me. Scott and his office took care of EVERYTHING for me and I am forever grateful to him for guiding me through a very stressful experience. I have already passed his name along to friends and family and to anyone that needs a personal injury attorney, Mr. Gennarelli is the best choice!

I actually met Mr Gennarelli on this website seeking advice. I made the best decision of my life to fire my original attory and hire Scott. The man is a diamond. He is so easy to speak to, does not speak in circles and confuse you like most lawyers. He is very calm, I strive to be as calm as he is. He gives brilliant advice. He is very trustworthy and honest. I highly recommend Mr. Gennarelli to everyone I know that needs a lawyer.

Mr. White is very knowledgeable,compassionate and goes above and beyond to help his clients. After being an RN for 28 years ,I had a neck injury at work that required a 2 level cervical fusion. I lost my job the week before surgery because I had run out of FMLA. I had no idea what to do so I called his firm and was given a very quick appointment.After meeting with him , I definitely knew he was the one to help. He was very knowledgeable about my injury and how it could affect my future ability to work. Unfortunately , I continued to have probems for the next year and a half and he made sure that I received all of the care that I needed . He also guided me in regards to appying for Social Securiy Disability because I am still unable to work and made sure that Workers Compensation would cover any therapy,visits, tests and treatments that my surgeon orders for the rest of my life ! Ther are no words to express the gratitude that I have for him and his entire staff!
I would also like to give a five star rating to his paralegal Tara Rudman. She is competent,compassionate and excellent at her job. When I had issues or problems of any kind she was so effficent at getting them resolved.
I would also like to give a 5 star rating to Susan Rienzo who assisted me with the difficult process of applying for Social Security disablity. I had to call several times, but she was very helpful.

Tyler was honest, fair, and guided me in the right direction.

He is an amazing Lawyer with amazing staff as well. Words are not enough to describe how Tom in handling our case for a wrongful death of our son. He is the best lawyer out there! He kept us in the loop from the start to finish. Explains all the things we needed to know and so easy to communicate with. He responds with all our inquiry right away. He lightened our load in some way so to speak by not stressing us out throughout the process but was working hard for our case to be done in a way we will not be stressed, but him working dedicatedly. Only few like him that shows genuine concern and dedication not just to our case but to us and our family. Very professional and with excellent work ethics. Very knowledgeable and smart. My two young daughters like him a lot that they asked us to give him something to remember them all the time , a build the bear that they dressed up just like him. Tom valued that gift from our daughters.

I met and retained Mr. Smith in early 2009 to represent me in a medical malpractice claim. That claim was subsequently settled through mediation in early 2011. It is difficult to put into words how appreciative I was having Mr. Smith as my attorney. He was extremely knowledgeable (not only regarding legal issues, but also in understanding the multiple medical issues I was having), highly professional at all times, was able to explain every step of the process to me so I (as a non-attorney) understood what was being done from start to finish, and was just an all-around compassionate and highly competent professional.

It was a tough case. I wasn't easy to deal with. Scott was able to get nearly all the insurance policy, and saw this through until the impossible happened. Somehow he got a bank to give me an account. Still scratching my head as to how he did that, but let's not look gift horses in the mouth. His service was above and beyond what is required. He even got my antibiotics when I was still to sore to move. He got my 2000 dollars for a bicycle I paid 250 for and it was only worth 750 new. There were a couple parts having experienced I would have not been so head strong about. I might not rank so high if I had a client feedback... Lol, I was a pain.

After my accident, I was experiencing a constant headache and neck/shoulder pain. Because of the headache, I could not concentrate or think straight. Paperwork was coming in from insurance companies asking me to sign and return the paperwork. The forms and papers appeared very important but I didn't really know what I would be signing.
So, in an effort to think about myself and concentrate on "getting well", I decided to contact Bill Altman. After our initial consultation, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It took @ six months to recover but at least I did not have to be concerned with insurance companies and papers. Mr. Altman and his staff took care of everything for me. His assistant, Grace O'Neal was so gracious and gathered all of the information he needed to take care of my accident.
I highly recommend William Altman. He is professional and ethical.

I am very satisfied how everything worked out and in the short amount of time it took.

I am glad a little over 4 years stopping in there and retaining the office of Gibson and Singleton. They worked hard to attain the facts and get the max settlement for which I could receive. The office personnel along with the attorneys are simply a team you need to hire if you want straight forward and honest team that is on your side all the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your assistance.

Steve took on my personal injury case and was successful in getting me, what I feel was, a fair settlement. I also believe he went the extra mile in working with our insurance company and medical providers. Steve made it clear that the most important aspect of my case was my personal health and welfare, everything else was secondary.

I’m writing to highly endorse attorney Steve Knapp for you or your loved ones who may be seriously injured or killed by the acts of another person. Steve spent 3 ½ years helping me through a very stressful and difficult process of settling my serious and permanent injury claims with the State Department of Transportation and its contractor after I crashed my motorcycle in a construction zone one night on I-5. I’m very lucky that Steve got involved in my case early on. Steve immediately began gathering evidence to support my claim that the onramp had been left in a negligent condition which caused me to crash that night. Steve kept telling me that the facts of my case were like “spokes in a wheel” and his goal was to build me a wheel full of spokes, which he did do. The State and its contractor denied any responsibility to me for more than three years after my accident. They claimed the accident was entirely my fault or someone else’s fault other than theirs. But Steve was relentless and left no stone unturned in working up my case. He went to the DOT archives and found great records for my case; he investigated the accident scene; and he located and met with several witnesses and got written statements from them in support of my case. I was able to sit in on a few depositions of witnesses, and watching Steve was great. He was very prepared for each one, and he seemed to almost know what each witness would say, even before they said it. He was able to use the witnesses testimony to build lots of spokes in my wheel. Steve used to do defense work and he knows how the defense looks at a case, which I think gives him an edge because he can anticipate where the defense witnesses will attack his clients’ cases and he can prepare for it. Steve had me fully prepared for my own deposition by the defense attorney and for my examination by the defense doctor. Steve finally overwhelmed the DOT and its contractor with evidence that their negligence caused my accident, and we were ultimately able to reach a settlement of very high six figures. Steve is a down to earth kind of guy who is very easy to talk to. He kept in regular contact with me so I always knew what was going on with my case. I’m extremely happy with the work Steve did for me on my case and I give him my highest recommendation to anyone who has been seriously hurt or even killed by someone else’s negligence. J.

During my internship with Mr. Budigan in 2019, I saw that he spends long hours helping his clients and solidly researching each case. I’ve seen Mr. Budigan defend people in a number of different courts, and help others sue for their rights. Very few law practices are equipped to handle such a generalized case load so well.

I interned at Mr. Budigan's law firm in 2017 and 2018. Observing the ins-and-outs of the law firm, I can attest that anyone's legal case will be handled conscientiously and competently. His credentials are that of the top tier amongst his colleagues.

This case was involving a car accident. My wife and I consulted with, then hired Jim.
Jim was immediately sympathetic with our situation and genuinely concerned for our overall health, which was refreshing. He helped to build our healing and confidence after the situation. This case went on for around four years and he was there every step of the way. He was immediate in response to any questions we had throughout. Jim was extremely knowledgeable with the laws and effects concerning our case. He was caring and genuine. Throughout the time, Jim fought very hard for results that matter. We were very pleased with the final result of the case, he helped make us feel whole again and not taken advantage of in any way. I would highly recommend him as an attorney. I would consult with him for any situation life brings, knowing if that is not in his skilled field he could recommend someone he trusts. If I could give more then five stars I gladly would. I look forward to keeping in touch with him even though our case has been resolved. Great man, great attorney!!!!!!

5 Stars all the way with Jim. I hired Jim after an auto accident last year. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and available for me during a somewhat daunting process. Jim was always more than happy to help and answer never-ending questions and treated me like family. We have since settled the case and he made the process seamless and easier than I ever expected. I wouldn't refer anyone else to help with legal issues.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
