Frequently Asked Questions

Personal Injury FAQs

How Does A Personal Injury Attorney Get Paid

Short Answer: On a Contingency Basis

Longer Answer: You’ve heard the saying “If you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.” This references a contingent fee between the client and the lawyer. In essence, your attorney gets a percentage of what they recover for you. Typically in personal injury, that is one third, or 33% of the gross amount recovered. From the remainder, your medical bills are negotiated by your attorney, and paid out of the proceeds. The remainder goes to you.

What Is A Personal Injury Consultation

A personal injury consultation is a conversation between you and the attorney. You can have your consultation over the phone or in person. During the consultation, you and the attorney will discuss your situation and the attorney will help you better understand the options you have. The goal is to answer your questions and help you decide on your next step. There is no pressure to move forward. The consultation is about helping you, it’s not about the law firm.

Chris has been a pleasure to speak with. I have not used his legal services, however, I am positive his attention to detail, quick responses and personability would be a huge asset. There is a lot to be said about a friendly attorney who cares about the person, not just the case and I believe Chris Layton is that attorney.

I felt this firm was very professional but also personally above and beyond with us. We had a very traumatic event in our family that required the services of Chris Layton. He was a great help to us in our time of need. I highly recommend!

I encountered one of the hardest things to endure this past year, loosing a parent. My father lost his fight to cancer, earlier than I had anticipated. While my fathers time was so precious at the end, I had consulted with attorney Layton on assisting me with setting up my fathers will. He graciously obliged and made me feel at ease, knowing this was my first time going through loosing a parent, he was very courteous and understanding.Attorney Layton answered all my questions and walked me through the process. I am very grateful to have had his knowledge and expertise.

Chris was excellent with handling my case in a timely manner. The service was excellent and the results were wonderful. Also, not to mention his asssitant Jenny was a phone call away and she is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to about a problem that I might have had about my case.

Chris Layton has been the most pleasant attorney I've interacted with. I called him about a financial/creditor problem that has followed me from Maryland. Chris took the time to look at the documents and talk with me a couple times; when he realized that I needed an attorney in Maryland he called and gave me advice on that and also gave me a recommendation for a local Greensboro attorney. All of this without being able to charge me a fee. I would recommend Chris to anyone with legal needs - he is pleasant, polite, cordial - all around a very good experience.

After experiencing a very painful injury due to someone's negligence, I reached out to "major" law firms who professed they will be on your side and fight for your well being. Each turned me down because the case wasn't big enough( a money maker). Frustrated I left a message with the Layton Law Firm and received a call back from Attorney Chris Layton( not a receptionist). He was a thoroughly attentive listener and methodically and cogently guided me on what needed to be done for the benefit of me and my family. Yes the case could turn out to be a small one monetarily yet three times Attorney Layton ensured me he would guide me in the right direction when I settled with the insurance company. Totally sincere and a real person, more attornies like Chris Layton are needed!

Brian Payton

Chris is great. His non obtrusive and consultative approach was very much welcomed. Chris provided me great insight and knowledge and asked for very little in return. After this experience, Chris is the only attorney I will turn to when needed.

I had such a delightful experience interacting with Chris Layton. He is extremely polite, knowledgeable, personable and punctual. He provides in-depth responses to your questions and does it in a way to ensure you understand without using lots of legal jargon. I would strongly recommend contacting The Layton Law Firm for your BK and other litigation needs. Please give him a call. If he can't help, he'll definitely point you in the right direction. Win-win situation!!

The Layton Law Firm called and emailed me very quickly after I inquired about their service online. They gave me honest advise and were very kind and courteous on the phone. I would recommend them to friends and family, and also will contact them first on matters in the future.

My husband and I were recently in a car accident where we both suffered a personal injury. We contacted Chris Layton and had the most positive experience despite a stressful situation. He was professional, responsive, compassionate and gave us great legal advice. If we are ever in need of a lawyer in the future, Chris will be the one we call.

I can't say enough about how professional & helpful Chris Layton was during my personal injury suit after my auto accident.He covered everything in layman's terms & was extremely helpful with all of my questions, issues, etc. I've recommended him to a few friends & they've all been happy with his services!!

Chris is the greatest! He took my phone call both of the first two times I called and gave me very helpful information to get started. He made me feel comfortable and important, in that he expressed genuine concern for my situation and gave me prompt, courteous attention. I would recommend him for anyone I know, including family and friends.

Since I have known Chris all his life, he has always strived to be the best in whatever he has accomplished. I called him to ask him a question on Wills and Trust and he was so helpful with guiding me in the right direction. He doesn't even practice in my state but took the time I needed to ease my concerns. As a lawyer I wish he was licensed in Delaware because Chris would be my number one choice. His knowledge and kindness can not be matched by another.

Not only was Chris easy to talk to and a super cool guy, but he really knows his stuff! Really trustworthy guy and made dealing with my case easy and quick. I feel confident in recommending him to everyone I know, and even people I don't. Best lawyer hands down!

Mr. Layton is extremely talented, resourceful, and effective. His responsive and understanding manner made him easy to talk to and work with. I had a difficult legal matter and was extremely frustrated to approach dealing with it or discussing it, but he put my mind at ease, provided amazing advice, and solved my issue quickly. I have never had such stellar assistance from a lawyer who is competent and kind.
