Edelstein Martin & Nelson

Most of our cases are handled on a contingency basis. If we obtain a recovery for our client we obtain a percentage of the recovery. Depending on the type of claim our legal fees range from 20% to 45%. If there is no recovery there is NO fee. In personal injury cases we put up the costs for all expenses and if there is no recovery the client owes nothing. In private and group long term disability cases the client has the choice of the law firm advancing all legal expenses at a standard fee or we offer reduced attorney fees if our client wishes to advance the monies required to litigate the claim.

We have offices in Philadelphia and Wilmington. For clients that don't have time to come to the office our attorneys or investigator will schedule a mutually convenient date and time and we will come to you. We will collect all of the documents that relate to your injury or private disability claim and notify all parties that we have been retained as your legal representatives. Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible for our clients.

All of our attorneys have Juris Doctorate degrees from acredited law schools and hold licenses to practice law in Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Delaware. Our attorneys have vast litigation experience in handling the following types of cases: - car, truck and motorcycle accidents; - premises liability (slip / trip and fall accidents); - nursing home abuse and negligence cases; - medical negligence / malpractices cases against doctors and hospitals; - dog bite claims; - electrocution accidents; - wrongful death claims; - private and group / ERISA long term disability claims; - bar / nightclub negligent security cases; - construction site accident claims; and many other types of claims that involve injury or death.

My grandfather was a juvenile criminal judge and a town watch leader in Trenton, New Jersey. My grandfather was not an attorney but he always dreamed that I would become an attorney one day. From the time I was a child I was facinated by the practice of law. My stepfather is one of my partners and he has been practicing law in Pennsylvania for almost 50 years. I guess I was predestined to become a lawyer when my parents named me Lawren.

Clients from across the country have used our services for personal injury and private and group/ERISA claims. Our clients are seriously injured individuals who turn to our firm for help in receiving the compensation they deserve for their injuries and payments for their medical bills and wage losses. We also help family members who have lost loved ones as the result of wrongful death.

When looking for an injury attorney clients should interview the lawyer they are contemplating retaining to help them with their injury claim. Personal injury claims sometimes involve years of litigation and therefore it's important to make sure you retain your attorney wisely. Don't just look at the attorney's bio or accomplishments but make sure you get along on a personal level and you are comfortable working with your attorney.

Its important to have all of the relevant documents, significant dates and other important information at your finger tips before contacting an attorney. It is also helpful to make a list of all of the questions you have for the attorney before contacting him/her. If you have questions and are looking for answers please call us to speak with an attorney about your matter.
