Highly Rated

Both Benjamin Barrett Sr. and David Miraldi have been recognized by their peers as excelling in the field of negligence and personal injury law. Both were named Ohio Super Lawyers in 2010, 2011, and again in 2012. This rating is based solely on the evaluations of other attorneys and judges. This honor is limited to the top 5 percent of attorneys in their field.   Both Ben and David have achieved an AV rating, the highest category possible from Martindale-Hubbel, again a rating based on peer review.

Fees May Be Less Than Other Personal Injury Attorneys

Most attorneys charge a certain percentage, usually one third of the recovery if the case is settled prior to suit, and forty percent if the case has to be filed. At Miraldi & Barrett, their fees are often less than those charged by other attorneys. They may charge a lower percentage if:

          Fault is not disputed,
          Your injuries are undoubtedly caused by the other person's negligence, and/or
          The amount of available insurance does not fully compensate you.

This firm looks at the totality of the circumstances and arrives at a percentage that is reasonable and fair to both you and the attorney. Before entrusting your case to another law firm, please give them a call.

When a loved one is killed because of another person's negligence, the family is devastated. The family needs help in sorting out the legal issues that arise from this tragedy.
