Going with Stadlin Law Firm was by far the best decision I could have made during a very difficult time. From our very first meeting Dmitry was the ultimate professional, extremely knowledgeable and helpful in explaining in detail my situation, what the process would be like and potential outcomes. I really felt he was by my side every step of the way, always reassuring a keeping things calm. Dmitry ran the entire process well organized, keeping me up to date with scheduling and all legal proceedings/documents and not to mentioned he fought and delivered the most favorable outcome, I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Dmitry, he was definitely the single changing factor in this situation, I can't thank him enough.

Let me just say, every single person I had the opportunity to speak to and/or meet in this office is absolutely FANTASTIC.
My first interaction was with Stacy. Before I did any kind of explaining regarding my case, she was kind and honest in letting me know she couldn’t guarantee it would be picked up due to the deadline (I came to them with only weeks before my statute of limitations was up) and how busy the office was which I understood. But after I told her what happened, she reassured me if the office had too full of a plate, she would still personally help me find someone to take my case. Even though she was confident they were going to be able to help, I appreciated the additional effort on her part. Once she passed along my info to Louis, he called me back promptly and let me know they could take it.
In the same day of speaking with Stacy and Louis, I was also reached out to by Emily who I spoke to for hours. Now, while most was relevant to my case, she was also just super personable! Each time I got off the phone with someone, I literally wanted to cry from how relieved I was. In just one day, this office took away any stress I had and finally put me at ease. Later on, I was assigned a case manager, Rebecca, who communicated extremely well and checked in on me to make sure I was updated on everything surrounding my case!
After my accident, I didn’t expect to find myself having to scramble for a personal injury lawyer. But I am glad to have met each of these individuals. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about all of the help and hard work they put into my case. Also, shout out to Eben for helping me with the prep for my first scheduled deposition, even though opposing counsel rescheduled day of due to having “no Wi-Fi” :)
It’s easy to think “well that’s their job” but you can tell, to them, it’s so much more. While I would never want to experience this again, I am glad this office was recommended to me and I will continue to recommend them to others. Thank you everyone 1000x over! You are truly the best!
