KC Law, Kevin Chrisanthopoulos, Esq, was referred to me to pursue a small claims collection issue. Kevin managed the case from our initial phone call to our final court appearance. His work was efficient and professional. What I appreciated most about Kevin was his demeanor, which was relaxed and confident. Kevin was successful in securing the monies owed to our company. I would highly recommend him.

Attorney Chrisanthopoulos is extremely responsive and professional. From the initial consultation, I knew I was in good hands. I appreciated the personal and attentive care—I was kept in the loop every step of the way.
It was comforting to know that Attorney C. was looking out for my best interest during a difficult time, his expertise allowed me to concentrate on taking care of my injury. I valued his honesty and I thoroughly trusted his recommendations.
I was very pleased with the results of my case and I would not hesitate to use KC Law again—Kevin and Pam are great to work with!

Brian understood my car accident and head injury because he's had a similar experience. It helps a lot to be represented by someone who understands more than the legal aspects of representing you. He was careful and patient in dealing with the insurance company, and in the end we got a settlement for the maximum award without having to go to court. The best possible result.

Brian helped us after our son was involved in a car accident. We found him to be very professional, straightforward and easy to work with. He listened to our concerns and worked with us to agree a strategy for how to approach the case. Although our son's case was not particularly complex we wanted Brian to represent our son in court. Thanks to Brian we got the best possible result we could have wished for. We are very happy we asked Brian to help us and highly recommend him to others.

I came to Halstrom Law offices recently on the recommendation of my family attorney after my husband’s unexpected death. I had opportunity to work with Fred Halstrom who listened to my concerns, determined that I had a case and guided me to a resolution that allowed me to find closure. Attorney Fred Halstrom and his office staff are professional, caring, compassionate individuals whose ultimate goal is to do the very best to get satisfaction for their clients. I highly recommend Halstrom Law offices.

My daughter was born with a rare genetic disease in the second year of our visit to the United States. During the prenatal care, my wife was never given adequate and correct genetic counseling and never offered the proper test to identify my daughter’s problem. My daughter’s birth with this disease was a huge shock to me and my wife. Far away from our home country and all of our other family members, we knew nothing about my daughter’s disease and faced the huge challenge of caring for such a disable child, with almost no friends here… we were helpless and hopeless. We found Mr. Halstrom by chance when I searched online for legal help. He took our case when we first met. From that time on, Mr. Halstrom and the staff of Halstrom Law Offices have been not only providing all essential professional legal help for us, but also have been acting as our very reliable friends. They have been compassionate, confidential, and very respectful. They handled every single detail; collected everything essential for the case. They provided interpreters all the time for helping us understand all the details of the case; they respect every single questions we had and answered very patiently.
Mr. Halstrom has been absolutely precise and professional, and he handled our case expertly and ferociously. We were protected from language games and tactics of the defense lawyers. In the end, the defense settled the case for $7 million. Mr. Halstrom helped us set up a trust for my daughter with the settlement money; this will completely change her life care. It is unfortunate to have doctors never inform you or offer essential testing to see if your child has any disease. We can’t change the nature of our daughter’s disease, but thanks to Mr. Halstrom's help of Mr. Halstrom, her care will change dramatically.
As a foreigner, we feel cared for and loved as family members by Mr. Halstrom and his office staff. Every holiday, we have received flowers and gifts from Mr.Halstrom and his office. Mr. Halstrom continues to show his compassion through these small acknowledgments. He has been one of our very reliable friends. Mr. Halstrom and his staff have been and continue to be a blessing to my family.

My husband's PCP failed to diagnose my husband's lung cancer. When it was finally discovered, the cancer was advanced and considered stage IV and terminal.
We found Attorney Halstrom through a mutual acquaintance. From the moment his office accepted our case, Attorney Halstrom and his staff worked diligently on mine and my husband’s case. He was compassionate throughout the entire process. Attorney Halstrom's diligence and willingness to help us had our case completed within the 18 months after we first met with him, at mediation 2 weeks prior to the scheduled trial, allowing my husband the peace of mind that we (me and our children) would be taken care of.
Attorney Halstrom and all his staff were true professionals and we knew we were in the hands of experts!

Greg is a great attorney all around. He listens to your concerns, your opinion on the case, does the necessary research needed for any question. No matter how difficult the situation is, Greg is there to help. Whether it is a case that is a day long or one that is 3 1/2 years long, he always has the same positive attitude and work ethic. I would recommend him to everyone if possible. I’ve worked with him on both consults and on a case and am quite happy with all results.

first of all this was a crazy case that lasted 3 years with the twists and turns that a Hollywood movie couldn't write. Greg stuck with it the whole way, thinking through strategy, checking facts, law, consulting with other lawyers to make sure the strategy was sound. always on time, easy to get ahold of, and easy to work with. most of all takes what he does very seriously, and is great in court. i would absolutely hire him again if i ever have the need.

Gina is a terrific lawyer. She was extremely professional, yet warm and caring. Her approach was realistic about our chances; she didn't make promises that she couldn't keep. She pursued our case doggedly and didn't give up when we were denied at first. She persisted and tried various approaches until we ultimately succeeded. Gina was a tireless advocate for us. I highly recommend her services.

Peter did an excellent job reviewing and handling my case. He was clear and honest regarding the legal climate and chances for a satisfactory outcome in court, in mediation and in general which is very refreshing. He also took the time to walk me through the process so i knew what to expect so I didn't feel lost or intimidated.
Even though I hope to never experience another personal injury in the future I would not hesitate to call Peter again if I had to. He would definitely be my first call to make sure I knew my rights.

Eric was referred to me in November 2013, and I am very thankful for the recommendation. Eric achieved a result where it seemed no result would be possible. It took 8 years of patience, grind and frustration but the result finally came. Distance proved to be no barrier (other than the time change between East Coast and Australia).
Over that 8 years there were long periods when nothing happened, but when it did, Eric kept me up-to-date and informed. My sincerest thanks for the time and effort you put in on my behalf Eric.

On two occasions, Counselor Finamore "saved my chestnuts" from the fire. Both times all he did was to make a phone call - just a phone call. But it was to the right person at the right time.
On one occasion, I sent Mr. Finamore a retainer check. He located important information which he conveyed to me quickly and efficiently.
Then . . . GET THIS . . . he returned my retainer! He helped me greatly and charged me not a farthing. INTEGRITY. Something missing in parts of America today. It is so refreshing to find a lawyer with great integrity who performs as he is asked.
My recommendation: 100%.
As they say in Maine, "Finest Kind".

Choosing an attorney can be daunting, however, after selecting Attorney Finamore and witnessing his compassion and perseverance, we did not regret our decision. He was up front from the start about informing us of the lengthy judicial process and parts of the case that would be difficult. He is well versed in the legal system and thought outside the box, which resulted in us receiving compensation from a difficult and unusual case. He was very supportive and went the extra mile until the very end.

Steven worked with me diligently during a horrible divorce and custody battle. Not only did he work closely with my other attorney, but he also showed something very few attorney's do, compassion. He was so dedicated to making sure my family and the best outcome was what we got. He was able to truly, with my other attorney, my voice to be heard in court and went above and beyond to communicate and meet with me, even if it was out of the way for him. I have never had such a pleasant experience with Attorney Ballard in my corner with my other counsel and it was great to see someone truly care about justice and what it right vs wrong. I cannot thank him enough for his efforts and highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone that will fight for you and what matters most. He also has a great blog that is worth reading that gives you a great insight to just what kind of attorney he is and that is also what put my mind at ease when going in to trial during my divorce.

My life would be drastically different had I not employed the compassionate, understanding, effective, pragmatic, good humored, wise and tough advocacy services of Steven Ballard. Against the odds of a slowly changing court system that has traditionally favored only mothers as able and willing caregivers Steven blazed a trail that will afford my children the good fortune of being with their father a fair equitable and exact 50% of their lives. From hopeless despair through humble and triumphant success Steven was there every step of the way providing whatever I needed legally and emotionally while staying true and focused on the big picture with integrity. Regardless of gender he will stand up for you and for what is just and fair no matter your circumstance.

Attorney Ballard is sensitive, caring, intelligent, talented, congenial and so much more. He stood for me with dignity in difficult circumstances and challenged injustice. Regardless of the adversity he remained true. I have recently been reviewing his work and found that it was far more impressive than it seemed at the time. He subtlety wove into his work a richness that is uncommon. Having him on your side is to have integrity in your corner.

Attorney Tennyson is one of the best attorney's in the state. I say this because I would never use any other. Attorney Tennyson has worked for my family for over twenty five years. he is very honest and will tell you weather or not he can help you with your case. how many of us would work with the same person for so long even thought they have other options. it's why I said it can'not get any better. try useing his service and you will know why I made the comments that I did. even thought I have 3500 characters remaining that is not enough for me to talk more about Attorney Tennyson's greatness and willing to make the best of your case. when he say's he will do his best you can believe that. I can only speak for my family and the things he's done for us. nothing beats a failure but a try...... give him a try you won't be sorry, that I can promise you......there may be some words that I'm not spelling right but I'm trying to write this review with my new grandson on my shoulder and typing with one finger at a time....please excuse me for that. Thank you Attorney Tennyson for all that you have done for my family.

Simply phenomenal from start to finish. we could not have had a more kind and considerate lawyer. Karen Zahka gave our case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful during very difficult proceedings. My husband and I never once was treated as anything other than a valuable client by Ms. Zahka. We also appreciated working with people that care for us on a personal level instead of just handling us as a "case". Ms. Zahka was completely understanding, professional and worked very diligently to the end, and we were so grateful.
Highly recommend!!

Karen stood up for our son and because of that, we see changes in the horizon, So that no other parent will have to lose a child over a medical mistake like we did.

Being referred to Leo Boyle and the firm of Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow was the only bright light for my family when lost in darkness after losing a loved one in a tragic, unthinkable manner. Leo Boyle is held in the highest regard by his peers and others, and my family and I were fortunate and privileged to have had the opportunity to be represented by him. The legal process is certainly a daunting one to us laymen, but Leo Boyle patiently ensured we understood every aspect of the legal journey we were on. His experience, knowledge, dedication and professionalism are unmatched and rivaled only by his concern, care and compassion for his clients and the loss suffered. In addition to the countless hours of work involved in a wrongful death case, Leo Boyle took the time to get to know not only us, but also our lost loved one. He was genuinely interested in and touched by the stories we shared. He laughed with us at fond memories recalled, comforting us when the laughter turned to tears. He was not only our champion, but also the champion of our lost loved one. Leo Boyle's expertise and his personal touch make us proud to call him our lawyer AND our friend. Although I would hate to know of another family going through a like tragedy, I would not hesitate to recommend Leo Boyle for expert and caring representation.

Google Review for Caleb Kaufman and His Firm
I cannot thank Caleb Kaufman and his firm enough for the incredible support and honorable representation they provided me. Caleb went above and beyond to ensure that I can continue living a productive and civil life, and for that, I am forever grateful.
His dedication and unwavering commitment to my case have not only changed my trajectory for the better but have also inspired me to keep striving to be the person I know I can be—someone my family, friends, and I can be proud of.
Caleb, the energy and effort you’ve invested in my life cannot be repaid, but I promise to honor it by living up to the standard you’ve set and the trust you’ve shown. Thank you for everything you’ve done to help me through this chapter. Your impact will be felt for a lifetime.

I would recommend Attorney Hoey to anyone in need of a nursing home attorney.

Working with John Blaisdell was impressive. I'd never had the need for a personal injury lawyer until I was hit by a van while crossing the street. Even though I had the right of way, and was in a crosswalk in broad daylight, the driver and his insurance company were denying any responsibility. In my first meeting with John I found him to be personable and easy to talk to. He established negligence on the part of the driver and said that he would take the case. Then things got interesting. In the second meeting, John told me his prediction of how he thought the case would go. He told me techniques that the insurance company was likely to use to further dissuade me from pursuing the case, how long it would take to come to a settlement, and a ballpark of what that settlement would be. Over the next few months, I was amazed as things unfolded almost exactly as he predicted. Time and time again he knew what the insurance lawyers were going to do before they did it and his original "ballpark" figure came within a 5% margin of the final settlement. Wow. Throughout the process he was extremely knowledgeable and confident. I learned that I could completely trust his judgement. Most impressive.

Attorney Bruce has great understanding of the medical term and complexity of the treatment which made the conversation very easy. He is very sharp and creative . He pointed out the strength and weakness of my case with the limited information that I provided to him during our conversation. He also provided potential solutions on how to handle the challenges of the case. He is super patient and kind to answer all my questions on a late Friday afternoon.
I definitely would recommend him to others.

They followed up with me after every doctor's appointment I had to make sure the services were adequate. This group of people are great and truly cares about their work and the needs of every client.

We recently bought a home and Sam was our attorney. We are very happy with his service. He did a great job taking care of all the formalities so that we could close the deal on time. Sam also got us a credit of $1000 from the seller for some missing appliances that were promised to us in P&S but later on taken away by the seller. I highly recommend Sam to anyone who is looking for an excellent real estate attorney.
