What if I am involved in a catastrophic or serious accident and its clear that it’s the other person’s fault? Do I still need to hire an attorney?

Please note: the following is not legal advice. Do not assume the facts herein are applicable to your case without talking to a lawyer. Each case is unique and results depend on a variety of factors. For more information see the full disclaimer below the article.

In a serious accident, there will usually be a lengthy and thorough investigation of the accident. It is important to consult with an attorney right away so that they can be involved in the investigation from the beginning. A good attorney will hire an expert to do an analysis of the crash and the scene of the collision, interview any witnesses, emergency personnel and police to make sure that any evidence pertaining to the accident is properly preserved. Since in an accident case, one does not have to pay any attorney’s fees up front, it is to the client’s advantage to hire an attorney sooner than later. The costs for hiring an expert can be very expensive. The insurance companies for the at fault party have experts on their side from the beginning doing their own investigation and it is crucial that the client has someone fighting for their interests as well.

I was very pleased with my experience with Attorney Bob Katz. Though I cannot go into specific details, I can say that paralegal Marisa Wise was phenomenal and kept me up to date with every new piece of information. She was very friendly and attentive. I also felt like I was in good hands with attorney Meghan Young. She did an excellent job of explaining Maryland law very thoroughly, made me fully aware of my options, and was a super effective communicator. I will certainly recommend them to friends and family, and though I hopefully won't be in another situation where I need to retain an attorney, I will certainly reach out to them if I do.

A friend referred me to Gordon Feinblatt LLC. When you find yourself in a situation where you really need legal representation it can be difficult to know where to go. I am fortunate that I asked them to represent me and especially grateful for everything they did for me. I worked with Justin Katz and Tatyana Bronzova and could not have asked for a more professional, compassionate team to guide me through the challenges of closing out an accident settlement. I would call them for all my legal needs and want to extend my sincere appreciation for all their support.

Cristina Roach

Rebecca Yazici

12:12 15 May 20

Everyone here is attentive, they respond quickly to any questions I had. Christina, Angela and Meghan are who I mainly worked with. They made it as simple as they could for a common citizen like me. Gave me great advice, while also taking into consideration how I felt comfortable to proceed. They got me the best compensation settlement they could secure. I don't have any complaints, or anything less than highest rating to offer. Hopefully I don't have to work with them again in the future, but if I do, I know where to go during that stressful time.

I had a great experience with this practice , my Attorney Meghan Young was very professional since the first day I met with her about my accident case . She was very knowledge , patience and kept me updated every chance she got. She responded to all my calls & emails but if she couldn't somebody from the law firm definitely did in a timely manner. She answered all of my questions and concerns , she explain everything to me so well. She sent me all my mail that was needed for me to see for my proof. I wished I use her in my 2017 accident but I didn't finish the case . I was nervous at first because I didn't know what lawyer to go to but I'm glad I went with Meghan young . Hopefully I would never need to again but if so I would most definitely use them in the future and recommend them to anyone who was involved in a accident . Thanks so much Ms Meghan you're the best!!! Tyshell =)) !!

I got rear-ended by an uninsured motorist in January of 2019. I worked with Marisa Ward, who took great care of me. She was very responsive and made sure that she had all the details of my case. In July, after all my treatment was finished, I received a large settlement. I would not have received this settlement if I had dealt with only my insurance for this accident. I highly recommend working with Bob Katz if you are involved in any type of vehicle accident.

They pushed through and fought to get me through this case without any worries. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney.

Carla Young

18:09 11 Mar 19

This was my first time ever having to go through a situation like this with a car accident. My main contact was Erica & she was very supportive & informative. She made the whole process seem so effortlessly. They even went to bat with some of my medical providers ro lower my balance with them. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I do I will surely give them a call.

Atiq Vahora

17:43 04 Mar 19

My family has used this law firm for almost 16 years on our car accident cases. Accidents are stressful experiences, but their law team is very supportive throughout the ordeal. The staff is friendly, professional, and always working to find the best possible outcome for me. As drivers, we just want to get things fixed quickly and move on with our lives. All that is required besides the facts is a little patience. With Bob Katz, I feel assured that someone I can trust has my back.

Christina has been really helpful with settling both of my accident claims even with my nervousness and constant questions lol. But she worked with me and settled it.

I highly recommend Mr. Katz and his staff. They were friendly, compassionate and really showed they had their clients best interest at heart. There was never a time you called them they didn't respond or returned your calls and answer your questions.They took the worry, and stress and turn it into reassurance. They were diligent and just down right professional. My wife and I really thank God for allowing us to cross paths on a professional business experience. Ms. Rebecca Slatery is the most courteous, compassionate soul. We wish you all peace, love and blessings. Thank you for your service.

I was referred to Gordon & feindblatt in 2014 when my family was in an accident, Mr. Katz personally consulted with me by phone and he was very polite and professional, Mr. Carpuso, one of the litigation attorneys even came out to our home and went over our case with us, he made sure all of our needs was addressed and before he left our home that day I felt like we were old friends. that case was settled and I was very pleased, I have used this law firm twice since then and the results are always the same, I have nothing but great experiences with Gordon & Feindblatt the staff are courteous and professional and they get the job done but the one in particular that really stood out for me is Rebecca Slattery, she is truly a gem, she is so compassionate, she walked me through the entire process, she even checked up on me from time to time just to see how I was feeling and I really appreciated her kindness. I will use this law firm again and again for any future legal issue that may arise and I would highly recommend Gordon & Fiendblatt to friends, family and co-workers.

The lawyer who was initially handling my case parted ways with the company and I was assigned a new lawyer. This new lawyer was amazing! Christina Franetovich made me feel secure by double checking all the facts and notes in my case so that I was not worried during this transition. I was on disability from an a different accident while she was finalizing my case, and I had called and hounded her about the time frame of my settlement very frequently to the point that I felt guilty for calling so much. Christina was very sympathetic to my situation and assured me that she would do everything in her power to make sure the situation would be resolved quickly. She actually finalized my case before the time frame she had given me, was always very courteous and knowledgable on the phone, and I feel extremely lucky that she ended up handling my case because the previous lawyer was not as amazing with customer service as Christina. She also has a way of making you feel comfortable and builds incredible rapport quickly. I am going to highly recommend her to my friends and family. Thank you Christina!!!

On Feb 23, 2017 I was in a bad accident on the JFX. I had been rear end by another driver. Almost immediately I felt pressured by the other drivers insurance. Everything from wanting a recorded statement; to failing to acknowledge responsibility. No one would answer my questions, nor would anyone take responsibility. I was frustrated and overwhelmed with everyone from the towing company, to the repair shop, to the insurance company nightmare I just entered. I reached out to Attorney Robert Katz and I was assured they were here to help. He provided with some much needed information, and told me not to worry, Sarah his Paralegal would be in touch to help get things moving. Sarah reached out as expected and explained their process and walked me through what my expectations would be. She as well assured me they were here to help me navigate the obstacles. What Sarah really did was so much more than help. She took the stress and burden off my shoulders and assumed ownership for handling everything on my behalf. I knew what to expect, and I received regular updates throughout the entire process. Honestly, I received so much more than I anticipated. Some of the most frustrating items to chase after are medical records and hospital charges. While I was trying to recall events and timelines, she had already obtained my records and information. She made this process so painless. I truly cannot say enough about the exceptional service she provided. Many thanks for all your help. Sincerely, Richard Hose

My husband and I were in a car accident in August 2017. We contacted Bob Katz team for legal representation in our case. Kristen A. Turner was our paralegal and she was excellent. It took 9 months for us to receive our settlement and Kristen kept us updated throughout this entire process. She was very kind and patient as I happened to have several questions. She always answered my questions promptly and thoroughly. I would highly recommend this firm and Kristen if you are in need of legal assistance.
