I don’t know where I’d be without Gordon Law, P.C. They saved me during one of the hardest times of my life. My divorce was messy, and I was scared I’d lose everything. But Steven fought for me like no one else could. He was relentless in court and made sure I got what I deserved. It wasn’t just about winning—it was about making sure I was okay. I’ll never forget how hard they worked for me. If you need a lawyer who truly cares, this is the place to go.

I have been dealing with Greenstein and Milbaures for more than 10 years also referring them to other clients.
They are very professional and goes up and beyond to make sure their clients are satisfied, during and after.
Bart Pittari goes out of his way to make sure everything is as smooth as possible.
I would never choose another law firm.
I choose them and believe in them.
They don't even have commercials like other law firms.
They show empathy and compassion. Thats what counts.
They walk you through everything and makes you feel at ease. I am so satisfied with this law firm.

Another lawyer recommended that I contact John on behalf of my brother who had a few criminal charges against him and a pending bench warrant. The alleged charges against my brother were not ones that would be easily reduced or dismissed, so I did not hold out much hope for a great outcome. John is a straight forward, honest lawyer. He told my brother what he needed to do throughout the court appearances. No frivolity and false promises with John. He just gets right to work and knows what he is doing with all his years of experience. Much to my surprise, only 6 months later all of my brother's charges were dismissed!! A blessing! Don't even think twice about hiring this wonderful lawyer!

I hired John after I was falsely accused and he went right to work to defend me. He fights as if you are his family. He gives great advice and is readily available to phone calls and questions. He has literally saved my life and livelihood. I am forever grateful for this man.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!
They've had my case for about 5 years, and in that 5 years I've heard from them only 2 or 3 times. I just read a review from Josh Gersten, posted just 3 weeks ago. I have the same problems as he has. This firm stays in contact with you for about a month. After that, you're lucky to get an update on your case once per year(and thats very generous). I've contacted them several times through their website and through email. They just ignore me, and I never get a reply back. They just introduced a new app to track your case about a year ago. I haven't had access to this Hona Client since they introduced it. I've filled out the request to be given access 2 or 3 times in the last year, and they just ignore me. The longer I let them keep my case, the more and more I see that this is one of those firms that goes for the quick payday and take on as many clients as they possibly can with the intentions of making as much money as they can with the least amount of time and effort put into your case. No wonder why they haven't made 5 minutes available to contact me with an update. If you go with this firm, do not expect to win a big settlement. Expect to win your case as quickly as possible even if it means taking a much smaller settlement so that they can pocket the money with minimal effort.
Now my case is a Social Security disability case, so their potential earnings are capped. Since they cant win much from my case, they treat me like I'm a number instead of a person. Expect the same. My guess is that they've dropped me as a client because I'm expecting updates, and those 5 minutes twice a year are more valuable than I am to them. I haven't had an update probably in 12-18 months. They just straight up ignore me, but then again my case isn't very valuable to them since its a Social Security case. Expect the same treatment that me and Josh have gotten.

I came to these people after being neglected by another firm. Promises of contact and the proper attention needed.
Things were fine for a while, they helped me have the procedures I needed.
Contact started to disappear. Lack of responses.
I find out they moved my Lawyer to Disability from Workman's Compensation.
There was zero connection to what I needed and intentions were. My messages were ignored.
I had a hearing over 6 months ago and now they send me a message that they can't get in touch with my doctor and need paperwork filled out. That I should contact my doctor.
It took 6 months of "trying" before you get in touch with someone?
I've been trying to close out my case. My former lawyer understood what I wanted. The person who was handed and did nothing with it, didn't care and was only interested in what was "best for me, and ultimately their firm"
I never got a lawyer for money, I wanted to have surgery to fix my injuries. I have not had any physical therapy for over a year. Over 6 months since I have seen my surgeon. We have closed out all the care, so why am being told not reaching maximum medical is a good thing..?
I am not getting any better, we don't need to play pretend to milk the state for more money.
Close my case... nope.. they will just waste time and do what is ultimately best for them in the end.
Stay away, they are no different then the other guys that just treat you like a peice of meat. Company is too big to give a sh/t.

Chris Maher earned a life-long client from me. He handled my criminal defense situation professionally and quickly. I’ve spoken to other lawyers in the past, and they only wanted my money. Chris is different, he truly cares about his clients wellbeing and made sure I got the best outcome possible. If anyone needs a lawyer for New York, I will refer them directly to Chris Maher. Thank you.

I reached out to the firm due to a rear end car accident. Everyone from the receptionist to the attorneys are very professional, and very courteous. They are very prompt to return to any questions or concerns you have. The attorney that I had was Mike Bersani and he was well experienced and gave me the best options in my case. He was very detailed and thorough when looking through the case, and provided more than an expert experience. I highly suggest going with this firm if you have any injuries in the future as I will if I have any unforeseen events.

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!

I recently had the pleasure of working with John as my attorney for a car accident case, and I couldn't be more grateful for his exceptional service. From the very beginning, John demonstrated not only his deep expertise but also a genuine commitment to my case. He made what seemed like an impossible situation turn into a miracle with his skillful handling of every detail.
John was incredibly nice and approachable, always ensuring that I felt supported and understood throughout the entire process. He made it a point to keep me updated at every step, providing clear and timely communication that helped ease my concerns. It was evident that John was truly on my side, fighting diligently to secure the best possible outcome for me.
Thanks to John’s dedication and hard work, I received a favorable resolution that exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an attorney who combines professionalism with a personal touch, I highly recommend John. His expertise and unwavering support made all the difference in my case.

My husband and I recently worked with attorney Pat Micek. She guided us through a potentially stressful process—setting up a trust and completing wills and advanced health directives. Pat and her staff were calm, patient and professional. Pat listened, advised and took time to ensure that we understood the process.
She was knowledgeable and responsive, answering our questions and providing up-to-date guidance. We found her honest, efficient and reasonable. She is accessible and never too busy to answer questions. We recommend her without reservation.

Attorney Steven Campanaro handled a a very complex legal dispute between me and my former business partner. He made himself easily available to answer all my questions and he addressed and explained to me thoroughly all my legal concerns. He put me at ease throughout my whole lengthy legal ordeal, he walked side by side with me every step of the way and I always felt his strong support. He was always transparent In the possible outcomes of the decisions he was helping me make.
In addition Mr. Campanaro showed a deep understanding of my personal situation and demonstrated empathy throughout my case and this helped me a great deal to get through this most difficult legal situation in my life.
Steven thoroughly reviewed all the evidence in my case from both sides and prepared an exceptional strategy that ultimately led to my victory in a satisfactorily out-of-court settlement which helped me to avoid costly potential court fees. His preparation was remarkable and his candor was well received by me. I highly recommend him for any of your legal needs or concerns.

William Mattar accepted my difficult case after
other law firms refused it, due to me being an
"eggshell client." From start to finish, Megan
always provided value added service by
responding to my questions and/or concerns
expeditiously; by the close of business or within 24 hours.
As I conclude, I would like to thank William Matter, Megan, and their team of consummate, dedicated and engaged professionals. You all are truly AWESOME.
Remember, It is not the final settlement that
matters, as it is the amount of professionalism that is priceless!
Don't hesitate, call 444-4444. You will not regret it!

Amazing! I never remember when I am supposed to be registering CLEs and as I am barred in two jurisdictions, every year without fail, I lose count. But my CLE manager Jack W. is worth his weight in pure silk, gold, milk and honey. Every year he timely reminds me for whichever state is due PLUS he pre-sets me up with courses that are relevant for my field of practice. I cannot speak more highly of him and this company. If all of the managers are like Jack, then you shall NEVER falter again. Whatever I am paying for the course, doubles in its ROI based on the peace of mind I feel knowing that I will not fall behind and be delinquent in my dual state bar licenses. Thank you United CLE and thank you Jack W.!

Mr. Glassman explained to me what was available to me as far as compensation for my injury. He was very thorough and kept me informed by letters and phone calls as to what was happening with my case from start to finish. I did receive the maximum benefit allowed and was very happy with the results. I highly recommend Matthew A. Glassman to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney!

My son got into trouble in Broward County & was arrested on a domestic violence charge. The case dragged on for months & I decided to get him an attorney. I googled attorneys in FL & spoke to a few, not knowing where to turn. Then I called Matthew Glassman. He was kind & patient & spent a lot of time listening & trying to understand my son’s case. On that basis, I hired him. In just a few weeks, Mr. Glassman was able to get the case dismissed! My son & I could not be happier. Matthew was compassionate, calm, very responsive when my son reached out to him & he formulated a smart, thoughtful strategy that worked! We were in excellent hands with Matthew Glassman & I would recommend him highly to anyone needing legal representation in Florida. Thank you, again, Matthew for all of your help & for being a real “mentch”! ☺️

I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan Ratchik as my attorney at KD&R, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! His expertise in personal injury law is evident, and he truly cares about helping those who have suffered due to negligence. Jonathan's dedication to his clients is inspiring, and he navigates complex legal matters with ease.
What sets Jonathan apart is his ability to communicate clearly and compassionately, making the process much less daunting. If you're in need of a personal injury attorney who will fight for your rights and provide exceptional service, look no further than Jonathan!

My successful case was like physical therapy; it was a coordinated and progressive transition from being injured to being well. Mr. Ratchik and the firm maximized my time to care for my health and minimized the hassle of dealing with bills and documents. When I had to testify, I was so thoroughly prepared that I thought the end of the proceeding was just a pause in the questioning. I learned about Mr. Ratchik through a referral. I now pass the referral onto those looking for the legal help that I received.

Mr. Brown helped my family in a certain important way. In 2023, my father had died and the money that was to be paid out was being withheld due to some clerical error on the side of the insurance company. The insurance company then tried to sue my mother for misinformation that they believed my father gave them. Plus the fact that they were still taking money to pay into the insurance policy months after my father died. Mr. Brown was not only able to get the money my family is entitled to, bit also managed to get us an interest payment on top of that. Put a time that he was hired all the way to the time that he was able to get this case settled what's the matter of just 6 weeks. He does meticulous work and has an eye for detail.

Just wanted to share my experience using Adams Law Firm. Jeff and his team were amazing during our family's difficult time, due to no fault of our own. Jeff assured us right from the start that he would be there every step of the way. He addressed any concerns we had and put us at ease. Jeff kept his word and made the process as effortless as possible on our part. Everything was handled in a timely manner with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. Simply put, if I could give Jeff and
his team higher than 5 stars I would. Adams Law Firm is the way
to go. Would highly recommend using Adams Law Firm!

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.

How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer

- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
