Pat, a remarkable lawyer, has been instrumental in helping me rectify my life and regain control. Initially facing 37 felony charges, he successfully negotiated a 2-year probation. Without his intervention, I wouldn’t be here today. Pat’s strategic thinking and extensive knowledge are evident in hisability to devise a comprehensive plan to guide individuals stuck in a rut, providing them with the necessary tools to reclaim their lives. I am eternally grateful for his unwavering dedication and the invaluable lessons I’ve gained since entrusting him with my legal matters.

From the moment we left Pat’s office after our consultation we knew he would be the best representation for our son. Pat is a very knowledgeable, empathetic and down to earth person. Throughout the whole process he was always available no matter what time it was, even on weekends. Pat would also callme and my son just to check in and see how he was doing. Without Pat I don’t know if we would have had the same outcome. After this I consider Pat a dear friend to our family. I highly recommend Patrick Tomasiewicz for your Attorney without hesitation!

Attorney Patrick Tomasiewicz is a rare combination of intelligence, deep experience, empathy, humility, and most importantly, high integrity. I consulted with his firm, Fazzano & Tomasiewicz on two legal matters over the past year and he handled them both effectively and efficiently. Attorney Tomasiewicz exudes trustworthiness and confidence, with not even the slightest hint of arrogance or impatience. He is a class act and I highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs an attorney that is truly on their side.

Not exactly sure how to explain how Mike's hard and excellent work has changed my life forever. I was hit by a car on Park Ave & 34th street in 2019—while riding my electric scooter home to the upper east side from the east village. An SUV blitzed through a yellow light and plowed into me as I was taking off into a green light. I broke my shoulder in 3 places—which could be repaired surgically. However, it wasn't until 2 years later that I realized that the accident had thrown my body completely out of whack forever, and I'd never be able to run more than 2-3 miles ever again. The driver of the SUV had a $50K insurance policy which was just enough to cover my hospital and surgery costs. But, Mike is a genius, and he discovered an opportunity to claim an even larger, additional settlement—which I never in a million years would have known about. He went after it. He fought for me. He never gave up. He does not give up, ever. 2 years later, he called me to let me know that we settled and disclosed the settle amount to me—and I cried tears of joy. Mike Rosnick has changed my life forever and for that, I am eternally grateful and while I hope I never have to work with him ever again, I absolutely would in a heart beat. TY MIKE

In less than one year, Brennen helped my family to settle a legal malpractice case that I’m extremely grateful for. Not only did we settle within my range, his responsiveness was unlike any professional I’ve dealt with. You can trust him on every level and he’s the “guy” to do it for you. He managed all parties (counseled me on any questions I had — responded within an hour of any emails I sent) but generally, he was the one keeping me in the loop every single month. Also… because of his networking, he actually knew the plaintiff’s attorney, which made for a friendly yet firm and strong settlement. He was the perfect lawyer for this case and I can’t recommend him enough… you are 100% in good hands with Brennen Maki.

It was very frustrating to find an attorney that could handle our case. Atty Daddario was just a random find on Google. We initially hired him to take on our case because he won a majority of his cases. As time progressed, it was apparent that Atty Daddario wasn't just a random atty, but someone with the best intentions for our case. He provided us with all the necessary information and details every step of the way. As we got closer to the court date for the hearing, it was nerve wracking. However, Atty Daddario assured us that it would be okay. He was right. Everything went smoothly, and there was nothing to be anxious about. I was very impressed with how professional and knowledgeable Atty Daddario was about our case. I'd highly recommend this well respected Atty, and that you would not be disappointed. Thank you, Atty Daddario, and Lots of Luck as you continue to serve and help win one case at a time.

Attorney Wing helped me to create and send a demand letter when my former landlord failed to pay me back my duly owed security deposit. His assistance gave me the confidence to pursue a matter that felt intimidating. In the past, I've dealt with lawyers that came off as being aloof and unpersonable. Attorney Wing, by contrast, is an extraordinarily genuine person who simultaneously manages to deftly navigate the law for his clients-- a balancing act which was impressive to behold, and which made me feel at all times that I was in good hands. I also had the chance to work with Karen, his paralegal, who was attentive and quick with communications. I could not recommend Attorney Wing's services more highly.

Do not. I repeat do NOT settle for a subpar attorney when your reputation rests on another mans shoulders. This lawyer knows how the legal system works from a to z and if you are being falsely accused he will fight for you until the end. He worked tirelessly along with is assistant to get a false charge dismissed and was successful. Do not waste your time looking at reviews that say anything negative about this lawyer. He works extremely hard to uphold the the law and integrity of his clients it is on another level.

I fell victim to a debt settlement company. I brought my damaged finances and credit to Ron. I was devastated I took pride in my credit and the only way out of the mess was bankruptcy. Ron was real he told me what I needed to do to improve , I was so stuck on being taken advantage of but he helped me realize it's in the past and there are tools to get right back where I was . Everytime I called he got back to me same day if he wasn't available at the time to answer all the crazy concerns I had going threw this tough time.

I’ve worked with attorneys in other states before, so I thought I knew the drill—but Connecticut’s process is a bit different. Luckily, this attorney made it all super easy. She broke everything down, gave me clear quotes, and helped me navigate the whole thing without stress. Her team even went the extra mile to meet with the seller and make sure everything was signed properly. If you’re doing business in this state, don’t think twice—work with her.

I was in a pretty bad car accident and waited a week sitting in pain because I wasn’t sure how to proceed and get help… My dad and sister referred me to Skiber Law office. They got me on a free consultation the same day I called, I explained everything, and they got to work right away. It feels like Attorney Skiber literally went to battle for me and got every single penny he could. I was very happy with the outcome. He got my car fixed 100%, he got me the Max Payout! And most importantly, he got my neck fixed 100%!! Simply put, I was injured, my car was as wrecked, and I was truly depressed. 2 months later and I’m so very happy with the outcome and he’s done a great job and telling you how things will play out from the first call with him. While I was able to heal and get back to work, he was busy making sure I was 10000% compensated for my injuries and suffering. Thank you again Attorney Skiber, I can’t say it enough.

I can't recommend Attorney Richard Grabow highly enough! I finally have federal disability support (SSDI) because I contracted with him. I would not have been able to successfully navigate the disability appeals process without him and his assistant Melissa. It was very difficult to find someone to take my case, as I am considered very young for disability and because (as Attorney Grabow explained) the system is not really set up to assess people with my many complex, chronic conditions. After a lot of hard work and an extremely long time of searching, I found two others willing to take my case, but after in-person consults, it was no contest that I wanted to go with Grabow. He was obviously very busy so he had to be very direct and to the point about everything, but I appreciate the efficiency and candor. He looked at my work history and medical summary, and he laid out the difficulties of my application but the reasons why I could (and obviously should) qualify. He also explained more of an inside perspective on how the system works, expected wait times, etc. The other folks I considered hiring did not seem nearly as competent nor were they as thorough or candid about things. Basically, how the office functions is that most communications are with his assistant Melissa and Richard directly communicates when needed. Melissa is friendly, helpful, and has more time for answering questions. Richard is understandably more rushed and some might perceive him as a bit gruff, but again, the efficiency, directness and high level of competence is what I prefer. (And, what works!) For anyone starting the disability process, some other helpful info: -Grabow operates on a common disability attorney method where you can contract with him and he does not receive payment unless you win your case. If you win, he is automatically paid a % from your backpay, with a cap. This was a godsend for me as, of course, I was destitute by the time I found him. -Contracting with a lawyer is extremely important and helpful, but you still have to stay on top of everything that you can yourself. For example, I always take notes, and Grabow mentioned a certain type of paperwork early in the process. I brought it up with him further into the process ("I have X in my notes. Should we be doing that soon?") and his take seemed to be, "We don't need that right now. Let's not do work until we need to do work and have everything as current as possible." Luckily, I pressed him on it to give it to me the forms to get to my doctor...and then, surprisingly, my case processing got pushed up EARLIER than expected, we did need that paperwork, and we had it in the nick of time. All this is to say, I don't think I would have been approved without his work on my case, but you still need to be engaged in the process. In sum, I am extremely glad and grateful that I used Richard and Melissa!! I was disabled for 10 years without support, and I am finally in the next chapter of my life because of their help. I can't thank them enough!!!

I met Paul Iannaccone in 2022 after I was in a car accident. My case was difficult, not a slam dunk. Paul told me this process will take time and to stay cool. During the 2 years Paul and his team kept me well informed of the progress and the status of the case. Due to Paul's hard work the case was brought to a very favorable outcome. RisCassi & Davis is a very professional outfit- a class act. Over the two years I worked with Paul I developed a kinship with him rather than just an attorney-client relationship.

After an automobile accident I asked an attorney friend if he could recommend an attorney with this particular specialty. John Houlihan worked very hard to get me more fairly compensated over-and-above what auto insurance was willing to pay. He and his associates were always kind, honest with me and concise in their communications. I hope I never need them again but if I do, they will be my first choice.

This law firm is amazing! I had attorney Iannacone and he was fantastic! He was very patient and understanding. My calls and emails were ALWAYS returned. I always knew where I stood in the case. Everyone including his paralegal and secretary were beyond helpful and compassionate. I’ll never go anywhere else. Thank you Riscassi and Davis team!

I met Paul Iannaccone in 2022 after I was in a car accident. My case was difficult, not a slam dunk. Paul told me this process will take time and to stay cool. During the 2 years Paul and his team kept me well informed of the progress and the status of the case. Due to Paul's hard work the case was brought to a very favorable outcome. RisCassi & Davis is a very professional outfit- a class act. Over the two years I worked with Paul I developed a kinship with him rather than just an attorney-client relationship. I found Paul to be intelligent, determined and most importantly ethical, a true professional. I highly recommend Paul Iannaccone and RisCassi & Davis

I recently spoke to John Mager about retaining him to represent me for my custody case. I was highly recommended to him by another top attorney that represented my friend in another area of the state. John was not able to take my case because the courts dates conflicted with his schedule, but John was extremely compassionate and spent over 45 minutes on the phone with me (and I concluded the call, not him, he seemed as if he would stay on the phone as long as I needed, even though I know he was very busy with other cases) , providing me with advice on how to find another attorney, and gave me some recommendations on who to call. I was really impressed with how kind John was to spend this time helping me just out of the kindness of his heart. It is such a difficult task to find a good attorney, so I wanted to offer my advice since I have done some homework on this, and what I can say is that the attorney that referred him has excellent results in Stamford courts and he wouldn't have recommended John if John wasn't great with this area of the law.

Attorney John Mager helped me with a boyfriend who became abusive and began to stalk me. He quickly put an end to it. He stated, "I don't think you will hear from him again." I didn't. I also used Attorney Joe Mager for a closing on a house. He seemed to be extremely busy and it was hard to get ahold of him, but everything was done correctly and I had no problems.

He’s gotten my friends and family the best case scenario results. He’s also defended me in a large workman’s comp case and gotten me a larger result than any lawyer even said possible. These days I live a quieter life than I used to and I’m glad to call John a friend. I hope I don’t ever need him for anything criminal again and have no plans to buy as long as I’m around I’ll always recommend John to those in need. Trust me you wont ever be disappointed with the results John will provide.

It was a pleasure working with the entire team at Forrest McPadden as they worked towards a successful resolution for a hit and run accident that I experienced, which caused severe body damage to my vehicle. Throughout the process the team was transparent and detailed exactly what steps would happen next and what was needed from me along the way. It was explained to me at the beginning what the process timeline would entail and that it could take up to a year or more to complete, which was accurate. A settlement was reached and I was happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend the legal services provided by Forrest McPadden.

Twenty-two years ago I received a notice from a lawyer representing a vendor over a relatively small bill that I firmly felt was bogus. Went to my lawyer and he agreed the claim was weak at best and would likely be voided if the vendor/lawyer pursued the claim. My lawyer then recognized who the notice was from - Kerry M. Wisser. At that point he indicated it might well be better to just pay the bill rather than go up against Mr. Wisser. Being quite stubborn and armed with solid facts I excused my lawyer and would handle this claim myself. I contacted Mr. Wisser and over a period of a month spoke to him no less than a handful of times. Mr. Wisser's advocacy for his client was creative and unbending, to the point he made me feel I in fact owed the contested amount. Not being able to convince Mr. Wisser to drop the claim I attempted to negotiate and settle it, that didn't work either. Finally, I agreed to pay the entire amount under one condition - Mr. Wisser would meet for lunch and pick up the tab. Paying that bogus bill was the best money I have ever spent. From that luncheon to this day Mr. Wisser has represented me exclusively in all ligation matters both offensively and defensively with great success. I recommend few people because of the obvious responsibility for such a recommendation. However, I have easily recommended Mr. Wisser to at least a couple of dozen individuals who have utilized his services over the years and I have never heard anything but glowing thank you's. If your looking for a lawyer that is as comfortable in a courtroom as he is at a ball game, he's your man. Kerry M. Wisser is in a class by himself!

I am in the type of business where litigation does come up at times, and I have found Kerry Wisser to be a super lawyer in the affairs that he has managed for me. He has accomplished things involving cases that I have been involved with that I know other lawyers just wouldn't have been able to do. I have found that nobody can pull the wool over Kerry's eyes. He knows the law in and out and he knows how to apply it in the best way possible to protect and / or promote his client. There can be a lot laying on the line with any case. And there are many lawyers out there to choose from. However, just getting a lawyer for the sake of having a lawyer is not the way to handle it. I have found that if I really want to give my self the best possible chance of winning, it's not just any lawyer that can make a difference but what lawyer. So when I have a case come up, I know that hiring Kerry will put me in the best and strongest possible position to achieve a favorable out come to my case.

Attorney Wisser stands well knowledged on many any aspects of the litigation process, and took the time to discuss and explain how things were proceeding for our case. He is very good at presenting coherent factual evidence and case law while exuding professionalism, confidence and proficiency in the courtroom. Our case is complex and still on-going, but we have won big battles along the way to which we owe directly to Attorney Wisser's expertise. No other attorney could have worked this hard or litigated as well as Kerry has. We fully recommend him to anyone seeking an experienced, dedicated and knowledgable attorney who will fight for your rights.

I met Tony almost 8 years ago when I hired him to do some legal work for me. Through the years I've found him to be a great lawyer, and a good man. That last part is important to me. He is well connected to his family, and to his community. He is not a billboard and late night infomercial huckster, that is for sure. In my industry I've met hundreds of attorneys of all types. Tony was the one I chose to represent me with my own case. Being in the personal injury/insurance industry I had my choice of people to use. I selected Tony not only because of the respect I had for him, but the respect the legal community, the judiciary, and most importantly the insurance industry has for him. He is a straight shooter and will call it as he sees it, even if he disagrees with you. He is not a game player, but is firm his in posture and position on cases. Working with someone in the industry is sometimes more difficult, and he did his best to talk me off the ledge a few times. My case was eventually brought to a great resolution, in no short order because of my attorney. I've not been a "client" of Tony's in two capacities, and I have nothing but good things to say. I've also referred my friends and family to him for criminal cases, real estate transactions, and most recently an case involving a young child. Pass right by the phone book, billboard, and television hucksters and know that your case will be handled in the best way possible, NOT just for a quick buck.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.

Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:

  • Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
  • Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
  • Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
  • Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
  • Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
  • Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:

  • Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
  • Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
  • Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
  • Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
  • Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.

How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
  • Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
  • No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.

Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
  • Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.

While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.

Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer

Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. How long will my case take?
    While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim.
  6. Do you have references from past clients?
    Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.

How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
  • Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
  • Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
  • Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:

  • Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
  • Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
  • Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
  • Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
  • Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.

By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
