Having an injury is hard, but Ms. Esser made the whole process of rectifying the injury easy and painless. Lines of communication were always open, and I knew exactly what was going on in my case every step of the way. I would recommend Ms. Esser and her team to anyone needing an injury lawyer.

This is my first time ever seeking help from a lawyer and the experience was great. He keeps you in the loop, and explains things so you can understand. Always gets back to you, in a timely manner, if you happen to call when he is busy. Over all great experience. He is a nice guy and very respectable. I hope he knows I'm grateful for all the time and effort he put into my case.

His preparation, attention to (medical) detail and presentation is simply outstanding. It is just second to none. I also know Jim and his family personally. He is a devoted father and sports coach to his children. I do not know any other attorney other than Jim, who personally travels across the country to get the correct information and depositions for his clients.

We found ourselves in a somewhat embarassing position last year when our 19 year daughter was arrested for shoplifting. We were referred to Mr. Kim through a friend and contacted him for his help. Since she had never been arrested before he was able to work with the prosecutor and allow her to attend anti-theft classes which enabled her to have this minor charge expunged from her record. Without this expungement, she would not have been able to get the job she had been wanting for some time. Mr. Kim helped to ease our fears through this whole process and without his help, she might have been held back in life. Even though this was a minor charge, it was a big deal to our family and we can't thank Mr. Kim enough.

When my wife and I had our wills done, Mr. Kim handled everything. Any questions I had were answered in a way I could fully understand. Years prior, when I went into business with a friend, Mr. Kim took care of all the things required to keep us legal and on course. When I left the business, he provided counsel on me making a clean break from my short lived business venture. I think of Ron as being a straight forward and honest man.

I took a three-month contract to work about four hours from home. While there I was attacked by a dog while taking a walk. I did not know any lawyers licensed in the state where I was bitten. I called multiple lawyers from a Google search. Benjamin Nicolet was quick to respond. I hired Mr. Nicolet because he was a calm, supportive listener as I was still emotionally processing the attack. As we progressed through the case, he was quick to respond, thoroughly explained each step, and calmly answered all of my questions. When discussing anything complex, he easily put things in laymen's terms so I could understand.

In 2012, my husband and I were in a bad car accident that landed us in a level-1 trauma center in Minneapolis. Only a few hours after arriving I received a call from my nephew, a prominent lawyer in Philadelphia (PA), who instructed me not to speak with any lawyers until he found me "the best" in the Cities -- and he was true to his word. John Dornik came highly recommended and has certainly lived up to his reputation. Not only did John prove himself to be a deft negotiator with a masterful grasp of injury law, he is a warm and compassionate human being who never thought twice about making himself available to help us navigate the endless medical and disability forms, or to simply offer a word of encouragement or advice. It is no understatement to say that I'm not sure what we would have done without him! And when it came to negotiating the settlement, he made sure we understood the process and that he had a clear idea of our goals. With the insurance company, he was firm and reasoned. In short, John Dornik truly is the best!!!

After many months of working with an insurance company I felt like I was between a rock and a hard spot but had no choice. I went to John to assure I should sign final papers. John was compassionate, understanding, patient, and willing to listen to all of my concerns. John had the knowledge and expertise to communicate with the insurance company and assure my daughter's medical needs would be taken care of in the future. He is the Best!

Jeremy had always been great with communication via email and phone. A lot of attorneys don’t speak to their clients but instead allow you to speak to their paralegals, well not Jeremy. He settled my case after 3 years and I am super happy I had loans that was outstanding and he negotiated them he fought for me for months.

I would first like to note that my case was lengthy and tedious. He took a chance on me when the outcome wasn’t guaranteed. There were many parties involved and it was just an average personal injury case. Jeremy was there for me throughout the entire 4 years. He was pro active, on point, always returned calls quickly and answered all of my questions. His team was also top notch. I asked a question on a legal advice page and he reached out to me. I knew immediately upon speaking with him that his firm was the right fit.

Steve Smith runs circles around all of the personal injury attorneys that I have met and being in this industry I have come to know a lot of them! He presents well, he speaks well, he has extensive knowledge on personal injury claims, and he has shown exceptional work in the office as well as in the courtroom. Living in The DFW metroplex, we are at a higher risk of being involved in a motor vehicle accident due to the population and the percentage of our population that owns a vehicle. I can honestly say that I would not entrust any potential claim to anyone other than Mr. Smith. From my experience in not just being represented, but also from working with him, I have seen him truly help his clients and get them the best outcome possible.

We have used services of Randy Sassaman's law firm for our negotiations with a big insurance company. He was recommended to me and my wife by another lawyer, who was not able to take our case at the time. And we are so glad now that Randy and Mike took that case and pursued it so tirelessly. They prepared exhaustive arguments to defend our side and were almost successful in doing so. The judge seemed to be leaning our way, so it's still not clear how the decision went the other way. Randy suggested and we decided to appeal the case to the Ninth Circuit. Fortunately it was accepted there and Randy traveled to San Francisco for the hearing and presented our side of the story so convincingly that the case was returned back to Arizona for retrial. That was enough to eventually reach a settlement with the insurance company that helped us financially a lot in our situation. We will sure recommend this law firm to anybody seeking help with personal injury and insurance cases. Thank you Randy and Mike!

There are two types of professionals I don't like dealing with: Doctors and Lawyers. So when I got into my accident, I dreaded what I would have to go through. Bill didn't want to put me through any extra pain. He took care of it. Just all of it. Didn't have to think about anything. I just went to the doctors I needed and went about my life. An occasional phone call, email or letter, that was all he needed from me. He didn't give up even when the battle was tough. And he won it. I pray I would never need this service again. But should I.

I was unexpectedly hit by a car from behind by a woman going 40 miles per hour and slid into two other SUV’s on I-5 resulting in a four car accident. My car being the only one to get totaled. I suffered horrendous neck and back problems within days of the accident and underwent three years of constant doctor’s appointments and pain. What was so upsetting was the fact that the insurance company hadn’t reviewed my file when it came time to offer me a resolution. I had new insurance adjusters assigned to my case constantly and they only cared about offering me the least amount of money possible. They didn’t care about my medical bills, pain or what I had been through. My car accident lawyer, Brian Ellis was very helpful throughout the process. I’m so thankful I had Brian Ellis and his wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with my car insurance company. My insurance didn't want to pay for the coverage that I had paid to them for years just in case an accident would happen. Once the accident happened, it was upsetting to see how little my insurance company cared or wanted to help. I would highly recommend calling Brian to discuss your case if you’ve been in a car accident or suffered and injuries. I think it’s a big mistake to not have someone on your side and to try and handle a serisous matter yourself or with someone who may be unqualified. Brian Ellis is a qualified personal injury attorney in Temecula. It would be wise to call the firm to discuss your case if you’ve been hurt by the negligence of someone else. He listened to me, what happened and took my case on the contingency fee so I didn’t have to pay him anything until my case was resolved. Thank you Brian and The Ellis Helm firm for everything you’ve done.

Thank you Brian Ellis. You really helped me during a difficult time. I was in a car accident and got side swiped by another car. I was in the hospital for two weeks recovering from my injuries. My hospital bills were tremendous. Brian not only helped me sue the other car for hitting me, but he was able to get enough money for me to pay all my hospital bills as well as money for my pain and suffering. It didn't cost me anything to hire him. I would recommend calling Brian if you have been in a car accident.

After years of a frustrating process with our insurance company in regards to a denied sinkhole claim, we came to the conclusion that we would need to file a lawsuit. We hired Brad Stewart as our lawyer and could not be happier that we did! He was always professional and very knowledgeable about the insurance business and processes. He kept us informed and answered countless questions along the way. When it became clear our case would go to trial, he prepared us for what to expect and always made sure we knew what was happening and listened to our questions and concerns. I do believe our case was an uphill battle, but thanks to Mr. Stewart's skill, commitment, and preparedness, we won our case! He is hard-working, detail-oriented, organized, honest and personable! We would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend in need of legal counsel.

Brad Stewart has been my attorney for the past 10 years in a long and exhausting case that was finally settled for over 1 million dollars after my insurance company refused to pay the policy limits of 100,000 and I had to sue them for bad faith. He handled my case expertly through a jury trial where the verdict was in our favor and then the appeals process that the insurance company put us through. I recommend this attorney highly in any case requiring expert trial experience. T Bowling

Keith Truppman far exceeded my expectations when he represented me in an insurance claim related to one of my real estate projects this past year. The insurance company had awarded me $44.00 for damages to the property that were actually valued at close to $100K. Mr. Truppman's skill as a litigator became apparent during the course of the lawsuit. He and his staff encouraged me, and prepared me as to how to conduct myself in the deposition. His professionalism, experience, and strategic ability resulted in a favorable settlement that saved my project. As a client of Keith Truppman, I can easily say that he is an excellent attorney and I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend him.

I have never had a lawyer before of this caliber. I'm a disabled Veteran and had run into so many road blocks. I was referred by another attorney who didn't handle Veterans Disability. Mr Farrell went above and beyond anything I expected. Most know Veterans Disability Benefits can be slow process Mr. Farrell I believe worked diligently on my case. It took some time but I received the compensation he felt was best for me and my situation. I could not be happier with the final results. I will highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of an attorney of his morals, values and ethics. Thank You Tom.

I hired Mr. Farrell on the recommendation of another of his clients. I couldn't have been happier. He was very compassionate with me and my child (who was also in the accident) but very aggressive and firm with the other side. I was very happy with the outcome and would and have highly recommended him!

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.
