My wife and I were amazing surprised at how hard working Courtney and her team were. They jumped in and helped make our closing date a reality. Brought our boys homemade cookies while we signed documents...they were just super knowledgeable and made the process of closing on our first home so easy. We’re really thankful for their guidance and can’t recommend them highly enough!

My husband and I recently sold our house and purchased a new house. We hired Courtney for both our sale and purchase and we were SO HAPPY that we did!! Courtney and her paralegal, Kate, were so wonderful throughout the entire process! I had a few after-hours phone calls with Kate and she was always so patient with me and explained everything along the way!! I would recommend Courtney and Kate to anyone I know that is going to buy or sell a house! They both made the process just that much easier!! Thank you Courtney and Kate!!!

I recently used Jeff DeFrancisco for a medical malpractice case that involved a medical procedure that I underwent. Jeff was always available to answer any questions that I had. Furthermore, he was able to get my case settled rather quickly and for a very fair resolution. I have already recommended him to others and I will continue to do so.

Jean Marie handled my personal injury/medical malpractice case. Approximately 5 1/2 years ago I had a routine surgery which left me with a permanent injury and terrible pain. After 3 corrective surgeries and losing my business due to my inability to work, it was then, that I sought the counsel of the De Francisco law firm and Jean Marie Westlake.
Jean Marie was extremely responsive, and very honest. After being in the business world for 27 years, I have had the opportunity to work with many different attorneys. Never have I met anyone quite like Jean Marie.
Prior to the trial, Jean Marie handled everything. She studied my medical history and every aspect of my case. During the trial, she accurately depicted my experience and relayed my 4 to 5 year journey to the jury. When something did come up with the opposing counsel, she maneuvered expertly and efficiently and as a result, we succeeded. Jean Marie fought for me and my future in a fair, accurate and balanced way.
Although Jean Marie cannot restore my health or take away my pain, she did secure my future. I am now able to seek and afford the medical treatment that I need with no worries on how the bills will be paid.
With highest respect, I recommend Jean Marie for any personal injury or medical malpractice situation. I thank Jean Marie and the De Francisco Law firm team for standing with me during this most difficult time. They are truly the finest!

was in a motor vehicle accident in November of 2011. I was given Ben’s name and contact information from a friend and I must say, it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I was going through a career change and this accident caused me to have to put that on hold. I was extremely disappointed and the thought of a long, drawn out “fight” with an insurance company was not what i was looking forward to. Ben eased my fears from the first meeting. I left feeling confident and well informed. That feeling stayed the same after every single conversion I had with him. He stayed in close contact with me the whole time during the process. Updating me even if there was nothing new to really update me on! He was able to work with the insurance company and get me a settlement that I am more than pleased with(Loss wages and pain and suffering). I highly recommend Ben to everyone, you will not be let down. Extremely professional yet extremely down to earth. If i could give this review more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat!

A well oiled machine. Charlie & the staff at DeFrancisco & Falgiatano are thorough, comprehensive and determined. Our case was unique as there were two suits in one, voluminous records/files, jury mis-ques , appeals and judgement arguments. We were treated with care & concern, over a case that spanned YEARS. We were never told what we wanted to hear, we were kept well informed. We were impressed with the fact that many questions could be asked and answered by members of the staff, and if unable to do so, calls were returned expeditiously. Unfortunately due to the multiple defendants involved, and the complications of the case, there was a lot of grey areas which through their perseverance were enlightened, even rewritten. We believe the most impressive aspect of Charlie & his associate Jean Marie is that they keep the human element present, no matter how complicated or frustrating the case turned.
