Welcome to Bourassa Law Group! My name is Isabella Ferreira, and I’m proud to be part of this dynamic team. I began my journey with the firm as a receptionist and have since transitioned to a role as a legal assistant.
My professional growth at Bourassa Law Group has been a testament to my commitment and dedication. Drawing on my experience, I’ve cultivated strong communication skills, a solid work ethic, and a knack for creative problem-solving.
Beyond the legal world, my life has been enriched by my passion for soccer. Having played the sport for 16 years, I’ve learned the value of teamwork and effective communication—traits that seamlessly integrate into my professional life.
Outside of work, I find joy in spending time with my loved ones and indulging in the pleasures of good food. Whether it’s exploring new restaurants or sharing a home-cooked meal, these moments are the essence of what makes life beautiful.
Photography is another love of mine, particularly film photography. Capturing moments through the lens allows me to express creativity and appreciate the artistry in everyday life.
Thank you for allowing me to share a glimpse of who I am. I’m excited to contribute my skills and experiences to the success of Bourassa Law Group and look forward to serving our clients with dedication and passion.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Personal injury compensation is calculated based on a variety of factors, including the severity of the injury, the extent of any medical expenses and lost income, the impact on quality of life, and other damages such as pain and suffering. The amount of compensation awarded in a personal injury case will depend on the facts and circumstances of each individual case.
The amount of money a personal injury lawyer gets from a settlement depends on the type of fee arrangement that has been agreed upon between the lawyer and the client. Generally, personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40%, but we have seen some attorneys negotiate contingency agreements as high as 60%.
If you have been injured in an accident due to someone else’s negligence, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. An experienced lawyer can help you understand your rights and options, and will work to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries. The at fault party will likely have an entire insurance company working on their side. Shouldn’t you have someone on your side too?
Your personal injury claim may be going to court if the other party does not agree to settle your claim. This could be because they do not believe you are entitled to the amount of compensation you are seeking, or because they do not believe that the accident was their fault. If the two parties cannot come to an agreement, then the case may have to be decided in court.
They can include the following:
- Slip and Fall Accidents
- Car Accidents
- Product Liability
- Dog Bites/Animal Attacks
- Defamation of Character
- Wrongful Death Claims
