I was referred to Burns & Jain and specifically Neil Burns through a lawyer who practiced a different type of law. From the first phone call with Neil, I felt comfortable in my choice. He made what had been a difficult time in our lives easier. He is hard working professional who makes himself and his team fully available to clients throughout the process at any time. The Burns & Jain team are a dedicated group of individuals who offer thorough explanation at each step of the legal process and through their kindness help you to feel comfortable and able to see the process through. My daughter and I were in a horrible head-on car accident, Neil and his team were able to help both of us navigate the legal channels and get insurance coverage maximized for us both. I would highly recommend the Burns & Jain team when you are seeking legal counsel.

Everything mentioned about Stephen is the truth. He's very professional and kept me informed about my situation, calming me down just by speaking. The case couldn't have gone any better. He saved me like he said he would. Would highly recommend him.

Quite literally saved my life from falling apart. The epitome of professionalism and knowledge. Incredible attorney. Case dismissed! Best decision I made was to call Stephen’s firm, they were empathetic, professional, responsive, and with me every step of the way. Do yourself a favor, if you find yourself on the wrong side of the law and need a good defense lawyer, contact this firm. Thank you a million times over.

I had an amazing experience with Jason Stone Lawyers and their team. They are working so hard for the client. I recommend it to anyone have an injury accident.

After a major fall on black ice, I felt I needed a lawyer. Not knowing who to call I drew a name out a hat which the names of three legal firms. I drew Jason Stone's name out of a hat and met with Sean Joanis and Eva.
As it turns out I was the lucky one! I picked out the best legal firm. From the minute I called them I felt they cared. Eva was especially helpful.
The case took longer than I thought it would, but they always kept in touch with me and let me know what was going on. I never felt neglected or put aside. If I had questions I could call and if Eva didn't know the answer she would always call beck with the answer.
I would recommend Jason Stone to others.

I found Michelle online (my parents did) a day after I got a clerk hearing letter that was accusing me with three charges, and I was very overwhelmed with the situation because I had a lot to lose starting with my dream job, but still she was very professional, caring, and efficient. She explained everything to me and she did everything for me since day one without even getting paid first. She helped move my clerk hearing date closer which it was what I wanted because I needed to get this out of my head, and she also was able to get the police report of the incident to understand more what it was said, and she did that without even seeing me first, I REALLY appreciate all her work because not every lawyer will be there for you because I had another lawyer, and I could see the difference clearly. I was worried, and she was very patient and quick to respond any questions I had, even after the case was done, I was still emailing her and she was still there. She said she would fight my case even if it went to trial, and and I felt the need to have her in my case, and I was so glad she was able to represent me. I would definitely hire her any time I need a defense lawyer, she is exceptional! Thank you for your hard work in such a last minute hearing because I contacted her on Wednesday I believe, and Tuesday was the hearing which it was not even a week later. I am so thankful to you because I felt confident with you representing me no matter the outcome. Gladly it was a great outcome specially because it was a very hard case. I would recommend you to anyone in need of a defense attorney because you are not afraid to go the extra mile to represent your client in their best interest. Thank you again for taking my case, and helping win it.

I called Ms. Halström looking to speak to Frederic Halström but was directed to her. I was considering filing a medial malpractice case. She advised me to obtain all medical records (which perhaps she should have done, or verified) and, after talking for a while, made a date for a specific date and time for a telephone consultation. She never called. Time was of the essence. I called her, we set up another time, and she blew me off again! If this is the way she treats people I want nothing to do with her! Very unprofessional and rude! I would definitely not recommend this lawyer.

Thanks to Kevin and his team crafting a powerfully-worded demand letter, I was able to settle quickly and favorably in an auto purchase dispute. The firm's ultra fast responsiveness and comprehensive explanations guided me through the process. A strong advocate that I would hire again without hesitation.

I can’t say enough about Sweeney Merrigan. As someone who worked in this industry, I have seen how easy it is to be consumed with so much work that communication suffers. I was in a near-fatal accident, where I was hit head-on by a drunk driver. I chose Sweeney Merrigan and I’m so happy I did! Tucker was always very prompt in returning emails and phone calls. Any questions or concerns, he would make sure to clarify and explain everything. It says a lot to have someone who truly cares about their clientele! I would definitely recommend Sweeney Merrigan to anyone!

Mr. Hung was readily available as a consultant to provide insight into my situation regarding a transfer of deed. He was thorough in reviewing the details and provided alternative options to make the best decision for my family and I. Based on his advice a positive outcome was achieved in a matter of days. I would definitely recommend him based on his professionalism and responsiveness.

I have been a long term client of Thornton Law Firm which started in the 1980's. When medical issues arose in my family we contacted Thornton and immediately after Andy Wainwright contacted us. Throughout the whole process he was very professional and explained in step by step manner the legal process we were in and our plan of action. Andy has been at our side for the last 7 years and throughout that time he has always been there when we needed him not only as our lawyer but as a friend. We are very grateful for the Thornton Law Firm and especially Andy for all their hard work and dedication they have put into my family. We give them a 5 star rating!

We initially contacted the Thornton Law Firm via their website regarding a mesothelioma case. Immediately, we received a call from Attorney Andrew Wainwright and he made us feel comfortable during a difficult time. Throughout the process we were always well informed and things were always simply explained every step of the way. Mr. Wainwright was very courteous, kind & compassionate and felt like part of our family. All matters were always handled with the highest levels of professionalism. The settlements were processed and delivered in a timely manner. I highly recommend Andy Wainwright and the Thornton Law Firm. I give them a 5-star rating.

It seems the only way I get a call back from this firm is when I leave a bad review. It’s been almost 3 years and my case is still not settled. Every time I call, I get the run around with “they are in a meeting”. THREE YEARS. This is ridiculous. Don’t take on more cases if you can’t even settle the ones you have open!!

Called for representation. Told lawyer what I thought about investigator. Glickman is friends with her so didn’t want the case. Not sure about you, but I wouldn’t want an attorney that prioritizes their relationship with the opposing side over a client. This is especially true when the other side lied in writing. But go for it. Maybe him being friends with the person destroying your life is what you want. Not me. I want an attorney who will call it out.

I worked with Raven at the Law Office of Nicholas F. Ortiz on a tough legal issue and was really happy with his work. He was always on top of things, clear about what was happening, and made sure I understood everything. Raven and the team really cared and helped me get a good result. They're great at what they do and really look out for their clients. I'd tell anyone who needs legal help to go to them.

I was disappointed with the response time from this service and generic answer that they could not take the case. After submitting a form to be contacted on a Friday, I received a reply almost six days later. In contrast, when I reached out to another attorney via a form, I was contacted within ten minutes for intake. Later that day, I had a conversation with an attorney about my situation. Timeliness matters, and unfortunately, this service fell short.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend. I had a slip and fall about 5 years ago… and just now got compensated, didn’t even get that much. In the time it took my injury suit closed out and settled, we went through an entire pandemic, I lost my father and my husband, I had a child, had a stroke, recovered from a stroke fully, was diagnosed with a heart condition and was no longer a minor. I still can’t believe how long it took. When I first called to start speaking with an attorney they said 12-18 months for payment and closure of the case. 5 YEARS later. Here we are. Wow. If you want a shark for an attorney who actually cares about you and your case, I don’t recommend Simon and Simon. Especially cause they took almost 2/3rds of my settlement money after I’ve been suffering for 5 years.
Today, I spoke to a gentleman from Simon and Simon after they had reviewed my review. We were able to have a conversation and spoke about the issues I had put above. He did tell me that he would speak to a few people about a communication issue and try to have that resolved in hopes this would help people in the future using Simon and Simon. As I appreciate the call and conversation about the issues I spoke of, I do not feel as if this review is wrong. I have chosen to keep this review up because even though I had a discussion with a representative, my issues still happened. And I do believe that other people should be made aware and have the opportunity to see how others were treated. I appreciate your time today, however I will not be removing this review. Thank you.

Before hiring Sugarman, we did not read any of the stellar reviews offered by other satisfied clients. Nor did we 'shop around'. Maryanne Leblanc was a personal reference from another lawyer. Her service on our behalf was beyond reproach, expectation or, even, imagination. We were treated more than fairly (as if we had been generational family friends). We are grateful for her personal attention to our case. Her sage counsel and compassion were truly remarkable and as deeply appreciated as unexpected. Maryanne went a long way in restoring our faith in the 'community of confrontation'.

I cannot recommend Sugarman and Sugarman enough. A few years ago I was involved in a car accident. I had never experienced anything like this situation, and Sugarman and Sugarman were amazing to work with. Marianne LeBlanc was extremely patient, thorough and helpful throughout this process. She was very comforting in a scary situation. Her and her paralegal Emily went above and beyond to fight for my case, never giving up or settling for less than I deserved. I absolutely would recommend working with them.

I called this place because I was referred I was very hopeful . I got a call today from Neil sugarmen and I gotta say it was the most pathetic call I’ve ever had, probably the most cold hearted person I’ve ever talked to . If you are going through a malpractice case and are looking for a not only just a lawyer but a lawyer with a little more empathy and respect then this is not the place to go to . The call was so bad that I ended up just giving up and hanging up ..sickening
