Thankful every day to have had a lawyer who is so compassionate and dedicated in helping with personal injury. Having a case that was a little out of the ordinary, Mr. Colin Campbell didn’t hesitate to take it on and went above and beyond gathering information and obtaining experts. Mr. Colin Campbell always provided me with any updates and the negotiation process. Any individual would be fortunate to have Mr. Campbell represent them and I highly recommend him for your legal team!

From the very beginning, John demonstrated not only his deep expertise but also a genuine commitment to my case.

Everyone told me to hire a lawyer after I had fallen and shattered my elbow, and a few of my co workers all told me to call Jason. I'm very pleased with the result. And I'm happy that he arranged for the insurance company to bring in their adjusters from out of town to the settlement conference. It was a long few days but we finally got it done for more than I could have ever imagined.

Leonard represented me in a personal injury case . He is genuine, compassionate, honest and incredibly knowledgeable and respected in his field . He fought for me and never settled for anything less than what I deserved. He would regularly call me to see how I was feeling, if I needed anything or if I understood any of the immense amount of paperwork that was coming my way. Him and his staff made it very apparent to me from the get go that my main goal was to heal and get better and let them take care of the legal issues. I'm glad I listened . I would recommend this firm for their honesty and integrity. You simply don't see that these days .

Andy represented me a few years back (before I knew about AVVO).
He is a doggedly determined lawyer who will fight for truth and justice. In depositions he is the not the man you want to be on the wrong side of!
My case was long and complex, Andy was a friend on the journey and his support staff were amazing too.
We were Samson, they were Goliath.
We were honest, the Respondents couldn't tell the truth.
We won, enough said!
God Bless You Andy and thank you!

Mr. Fleming, "Andy", has given me a sense of security and safety since our first meeting. I am currently filing an age discrimination complaint with the EEOC against my employer.
The troubles began in September 2006 and I am still employed and I think that it is because of Andy's intervention that I still have my job as a Registered Nurse.
Andy was referred to us by our personal attorneys and by my sister-in-law, an attorney in Washington, DC, as the best labor lawyer in Western New York.
Andy is an extremely knowledgeable, down to earth person with a sense of humor. Our meetings are as relaxed as can be under the circumstances.
If you have trouble with your employer or at your job, I highly recommend you call Andy.

Assumed I wanted the cheapest attorney because I asked his rate, disgustingly unprofessional assumption to make. Basically told me to go elsewhere, I'm a first time home buyer, I'm not looking to stiff a lawyer, but this is also a very time consuming and costly process for a buyer. However I am also willing to pay for good services, I was offended he thought my question was solely to save money. Now I understand it's the only thing he cares about. Would never trust him. Wasn't a comforting call at all. He should work on that.

Been handling my case since 1999, and have been able to get every medical expense, and most disability issues resolved. They have always gotten what was requested, and gave fair advice to myself. The only complaint that I would have is their time to get back to someone regarding their case. Occasionally this is delayed due to various reasons.
