“I found this firm through a referral from another client and I’m so glad I did. This was my first accident, so I didn’t know what to expect or how to handle the situation. From the start, their team provided clear, helpful guidance, making a complex process much easier to understand. They connected me with excellent medical providers who were compassionate and skilled, which made a real difference in my recovery. I’m very happy with the outcome of my case and feel that I was in good hands every step of the way. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs support and professional care during a challenging time!”

I was rear ended very badly one night on my way home and the injuries that I sustained from this accident changed my body in ways that are permanent. I had a prior experience in a bodily injury claim in the early 2000s so I was a bit familiar with the process, but this experience was next level for me. Mr. Bergman and his team were wonderful in their referrals for the medical help that I desperately needed. Being that I am an older man now, my body does not bounce back as quickly as it did 20 years ago. The person that hit me had a minimum policy and my injuries were greater than that. Thankfully, I have a better policy with my own insurance, and Mr. Bergman was able to get all the money available in both policies to compensate me for my injuries, pain and suffering. I am very confident in Mr. Bergman’s skills in getting the job done and I am very appreciative to him for such wonderful results in my case. I would highly recommend to him to anyone that has been in an accident. Mr. Bergman and his team were always very responsive to my questions and had great communication with me throughout my process and even took my calls outside of business hours. Thank you!

I was in bad MVA where I was hit in an intersection for someone running a red light. The accident changed my life because it caused me to need surgery on my knee and I have never had any issues with my knee. Unfortunately, the policy limit of this person was not enough to cover my surgery so Mr. Bergman recommended me take the policy limit available and get surgery when I have health insurance so it’s not coming out of my pocket or settlement for pain and suffering. Thankfully, Mr. Bergman, with his aggressive attitude and fierce poker face got the insurance company to fold and hand over the entire policy and I am walking away with more than half of the settlement that was given. I am very grateful to Mr. Bergman and his team for getting me all the money on the table and resolving my case in under a years time. They told me cases can take a year or longer but he got mine done in 8 months due to my damages. I highly recommend Mr. Bergman and his team, they are fantastic

He clarified any details of my Will that needed further explanation. He also gave me certain examples of scenarios that potentially could happen in certain situations. In addition, Mr. Burgess made sure I truly understood that a POA document would be very beneficial to me in the future. Very professional and knowledgeable.

If you are looking for an estate attorney, whether your estate is large or small, simple or complicated, I highly recommend Andre McDonald and the Mc Donald Law Firm. I recently had the occasion to use the McDonald Law Firm for a small estate that had some minor complications due to the fact the deceased did not have an estate prior to death. Mr. McDonald met with me several times over the phone for information gathering and then set up the face to face meeting. Every document, every filing, every notice was prepared, laid out and explained clearly. At the same time, Mr. McDonald prepared a living trust for me with the same meticulous precision he used when he prepared the estate. I have complete confidence, due to Mr. McDonald's in depth knowledge of estate law on every level that the estate will be settled cleanly and quickly and my Trust will provide exactly what I want upon my passing. Do not settle for anything less than the excellence provided by Andre McDonald, his team and the McDonald Law Firm.

My family retained him to find and receive compensation from a deadbeat tenant in the late 1990's. Dwight always returned our calls quickly. He was extremely thorough in the courtroom. He quickly negotiated a fair settlement that helped us avoid more legal fees. He didn't bill us needlessly and returned a portion of his retainer, too.

Mr. Schmieler carefully listened to the facts during our consultation and agreed to take my case. As the case progressed, Mr. Schmieler remained steadfastly focused on the evidence and how it intersected with the law. He not only reviewed documents I provided, but also conducted his own research into previous cases regarding the situation and formulated a comprehensive perspective based on the other party’s history. His persistent and careful consideration of the entire situation reassured me that our case was solid. Although we haven’t yet finished at this point, he managed my expectations to the length of time it would take to resolve. His approach to information gathering and client relations speak to his experience. I am also impressed by his team, all of which are knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and professional. I intend to retain him for all future issues.

I was going through a very challenging process, and we applied with Ozek Law for an application that most lawyers said was impossible. Thanks to the help of Ms. Gizem and Mr. Tolga, we went through a very fast and well-organized application process.

I fully trust Mr. Malech and endorse him! Trusting someone with your life is what happens when you retain a lawyer. Mr. Malech thinks like a philosopher, explains clearly like a great teacher, uses warm humor, and gives an even-keeled and honest assessment of the possible scenarios. Moreover, he knows the court system inside and out.
Mr. Malech's mastery of the law, solid preparation and keen attention to detail led to a great outcome.
Mr. Malech and his team are responsive, respectful, and empathetic. He also moves at a fast pace to outmaneuver the other side.
Take a look at his Youtube series, "Ask Lloyd." You will see Mr. Malech's sharp communication skills in action!

After an auto accident I got Mr Berman's number from my brother. Their legal team immediately went to work. They got my car fully repaired, placed me in a rental while the work was being done, made sure that I got all the medical treatment I needed, and got me a check. They handled everything every step of the way, and always made sure to keep me informed of what was going on. If you need an injury lawyer, this is the team you want. I can't thank them enough (especially Josh), for the tremendous work.

If you're looking for an outstanding criminal defense lawyer that will go the extra mile. Look no further. Andrew MacDonald was a fantastic representation for me. It was my first time hiring a criminal defense attorney particularly as a 68-year-old retired female with a strong professional background. This matter involved a very unnecessary and bizarre accusation from a neighbor in a quiet area where we recently relocated to.
Andrew is very professional in everything he did in my case. He is precise and to the point in explaining what my case was all about. He was very thorough.
I highly recommend Andrew MacDonald. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and diligent. As a former prosecutor, he knows the best defense strategy to pursue and is able to effect the best possible outcome for his client. Moreover, he combines his professional expertise with a caring, calm, and personable demeanor. A huge thank you for a very favorable outcome in my case.

My family was going through a difficult time when my 96 year old dad broke his hip the day before Thanksgiving this year. Unfortunately his health declined quickly and we didn't know what to do to take care of our 91 year old mother. We contacted P. A. Lundy & Associates and Attorney Paulette Lundy was able to help us quickly but not only that, assure us that we were not alone and that made all of the difference for me and my 5 siblings in carrying out our dad's final wishes. We are forever grateful that we found her.

I contacted Ruy from a referral about a trademark for a slogan for my business. He did a quick cursory search, found that some part of the slogan was already in use, advised me to reconsider the slogan, and then informed me of the detailed process that entails when a complete search is done. I found my time with him to be a pleasant and refreshing experience and he easily could have led me on to pay for the complete search option, but he did not. He asked about my business and was truly interested in it and wanting to help me out in any way. I will be going back to him if I come up with something new.
