Divorce is never an easy part of life to balance. Started off without a lawyer and having my back pinned against the wall. Attorney Nath came highly recommended. They were not wrong! All it took was a couple of minutes to brief Attorney Nath on what was going on. The weight that was lifted was just night and day of a difference! You know, the honesty from the start and the facts that I did not know about this process is what was delivered first class. Ultimately winning my case! The fight from day one until the very last day of court even when the battle was weary was extremely difficult, but Attorney Nath made sure every doubt or question I had was answered. I am so glad I was able to put my trust and livelihood in the hands of someone that heard me and understood what to do without asking any questions. This level of personal care is what makes the difference.

My husband and I retained Michele is 2020. We worked with her for 2.5 years to relocate his son from CT to SC. Michele won our case because she is fierce. Her presence in the courtroom is strong. Michele was available, smart, intuitive, strategic and collaborative. We felt part of the process. Now, she is part of our family. We consider her a friend, always. We can't thank her enough for her patience and support.

The team at Goff Law Group truly went above and beyond in handling my personal injury claim. They diligently explained every situation in detail to me and answered all of my questions. Melanie, the paralegal assigned to my case was very detailed oriented and responsive to any need. I had the pleasure of dealing with Attorney Annette Smith who, from the very start, was upfront and realistic regarding the situation and expectations. In the end the group maximized my claim--for which I am very grateful. I was very fortunate to fall into the care of the Goff Law Group, and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a law firm to handle a personal injury matter.

Two years ago my husband and I were walking out to our car in our apartment complex and they didn’t plow it and I fell on my hip that had been previously broken and I already have severe back issues I decided that after speaking to a few people I should definitely call an attorney and I have seen her commercials and billboards and I was like you know up I feel like she would be a great fit for me they kept me up-to-date on everything going on from the beginning to the end I couldn’t have chosen A better lawyer her staff is absolutely fantastic and they got me a significant compensation for not only my pain and suffering but for missing a lot of activities that I enjoy because I was in severe pain I cannot express enough if you need a lawyer contact this team because they are on your side 110% absolutely the best

I did not deal directly with Brook Goff, but did with her firm. I had a couple of lawyers, and they didn't work out. The one that did was Tiffany Sabato. She was stellar! Called me with information, called if she needed more information, kept me up to date on what was going on. I live out of state, but my accident took place in CT. It was reassuring to know that someone was watching out for me.
Thanks again Tiffany for all your hard work, but happy I hope to never have to use a lawyer for the rest of my life.

Set expectations from day one as the process can be cumbersome as the time lines can range depending on which officer is assigned to our case. Checking in to let us know timelines as they changed as to manage expectations.
EXTREMELY knowledgeable, as a client I was always confident that she knew the answer with anything I threw her way from various types of topics.
Professional candor from the moment we meet her, polite, well spoken and always made us feel like her #1 priority.
Care - she really added a simple but human touch to make sure we felt that she was doing the best she could to help us. Taking an interest in our story and customizing her approach to our needs
Excellent communication throughout the process, her response times to our questions (and we had a lot, god bless her) and keeping us update with any relevant news.
Giving us the best chance for success for our green card application by ensuring we came over prepared and to look our best during the interview process.
All in all, good lawyers are hard to come by but someone like Diana is in a league of her own. Grateful we found her and we feel like a million dollars having her on her side to tackle any challenge coming our way.
Thank you Diana for helping us through such a big life event!

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!!!

Attorney Richard Grabow and Attorney Mellissa Stelletto went above and beyond the call to f duty for me.
They left no stone unturned and worked released for me.
I highly recommend them.
I am grateful beyond measure for all the effort and time they took with me and endless documents they had to go through.
Thank you for everything.

My case was complex and involved several appeals and hearings. If not for Attorney Grabow, the ALJ would have decided the case before ever hearing it. Attorney Grabow was able to show that the ALJ made errors and, after the case was remanded, WE WON!

I was involved in an automobile accident with personal injury. I had surgery to correct the problem. From the beginning Jennifer was focused on every detail . She went above and beyond, was extremely well prepared, and was extremely easy to talk to. The case was resolved and I could not be happier with her representation. I would recommend her highly. If you want someone you can trust to work for you Jennifer Rossi should be your choice for an attorney.

My husband and I hired Attorney Jennifer Rossi to represent us in a dispute against a homebuilder for defective workmanship. Her representation saved us an enormous amount of hassle and undoubtedly a great deal of money as well. Her services came highly recommended from a friend in the legal profession, and her support on our behalf lived up to every aspect of the recommendation.
Jennifer is a consummate professional; she is sharp, confident, detailed and result-driven. From the initial introduction, we had total confidence that we were in the best hands possible. Top shelf representation is hard to come by particularly, when a sensitive blend of personal experience, observations and trusted skill sets are involved. As painful of a process this could have been, Jennifer put our mind at ease and removed the majority of our stress right from the onset. Thanks to her help, and her thorough, aggressive defense of our interests, our matter was settled successfully. We highly recommend Attorney Jennifer Rossi without reservation!

Attorney Jennifer Rossi recently represented me in an issue that had me at odds with the State of Ct Health Dept. The State either wanted me to fix a “problem” with a job I performed many years ago or hand them my license to do business in Ct. Atty. Rossi was completely successful in defending me and the case was dropped. I was impressed by her attention to detail, and her dogged pursuit of this matter. She showed an expertise where a few other attorneys I contacted feared to go or were going to research the statutes, or put their younger staff members on it all on my dime. Above all she was reasonable with her fees which I gladly paid as win or lose I feel I was treated more than fair by her and by her efforts alone I felt reassured a few days into our working together on this situation. Sincerely, Anonymous.

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.

Nicholas kept me abreast of all aspects of my case. I received regular updates and he prepared me for the unexpected. The legal system can be lengthy and complex and he was a superior navigator. He was an excellent strategist with thoughtful execution. My case was successfully resolved and it was no doubt due to Mr. Ouellette’s counsel. I sought him ought based on a recommendation and want to do the same for someone else seeking legal services.

Jay Weintraub represented me in a law suit in which I was the plaintiff suing my former business partner. Besides the fact that we won on all accounts, I was very impressed with the way he listened, counseled, analyzed and informed me all along the way. Since then Jay has represented me and my adult children in matters relating to real estate, estate planning, etc. I trust him for his knowledge, clarity of explanation, tenacity, and demeanor. Jay is not an attack oriented lawyer. He tries reason, communication and win-win results but he can be steel-minded when necessary. I always felt that my benefit was his primary objective- not his best interests.

We had two restaurants which entered into a cost plus contract to purchase food stuffs. During conversations we realized that the purveyor was not honoring their contract. We sought out a strong litigation attorney through some recommendations and Richard quickly rose to the top of our list. He very quickly became involved and took a couple of approaches that we didn’t expect. His efforts were very fruitful. He is a very tenacious and driven attorney. Thanks for all the help!

I could not be more thankful for having Joette on my side. Joette’s reputation as the go-to attorney for creative deals is well earned. I brought a very complicated deal to her and she took ownership to make sure the deal happened despite time sensitivity, difficulties with the other side, and an unprecedented deal structure. Not only did she lean in to this new deal structure, but leveraged her resources and expertise to actually make it better. Her fee paid for itself. I wouldn’t think of using anyone else for these creative deals.

Amazing lawyer Kara best on the best

20 Mar, 2024 by Rich hollant
I met Kara at the beginning of a tedious process to re-establish my citizenship. The first highlight of working with her: she returned my initial call. If that sounds like a low bar, then you'd be surprised at the number of folks who either didn't return calls or who wanted to convert my call to a payment stream before understanding what I was up against. With Kara, I spoke to the person who would handle my case—and that's an important benefit because nothing got lost in the relaying of information. Kara was professional, friendly, and made a complex process simple and sequential. We discussed how much I was willing to take on myself and what she would do on my behalf. This created clear expectations of my time and costs, and ultimately led to a customized plan of action to resolve my case as quickly as possible. She knows what she is doing, communicated clearly along the way, and the process went according to plan. Kara Hart is truly the best and I highly recommend her services.

Sandi Girolamo had to come into my life at an extremely difficult time and I was so fortunate to have her in my corner. Family court is terrifying and when your goal is to keep your very young children safe, Sandi is one of the BEST people to help ensure that happens. She and her team communicate with you whenever you need it, explain things thoroughly, and make you feel more comfortable and confident in what you are dealing with. The court system is overwhelming and yet Sandi made it bearable. Flaherty legal group consults with each other and have each other’s backs. Sandi and her team are very well respected within the court system and court visits were always quick, efficient, and very effective. Sandi played a huge role in helping my kids to have a mostly normal childhood during a very turmoil time. They have grown to be wonderful humans that are in college preparing to do great things in the world. Things could’ve been so different if I didn't choose to have Sandi and her team working for me. They made sure my kids were safe from Alcoholism and Domestic Violence within my family. I am forever thankful to them for their impactful service they gave my family.

As a Proud Veteran of the United States Army, I have called on Attorney Linda K Bertolette not once but twice in which she has fought a good fight on behalf of my personal injury cases. The time, effort, guidance, reliability and overall professional expertise rendered on the battlefield of both personal injury cases, has brought forth victory each time.

I highly recommend and proudly say to Attorney Linda K Bertolette and her Paralegal Team “job well done and thank you for outstanding service “.

I think the services of Bertollet law firm are poor beyond comparison. I am a prospective owner of a house .I hired firm for housing transaction and related services, buyer protection based on contract etc. During the process I had faced issues with some terms in the contract and seek help from Attorney Bertollete. As such reaching them and getting a response a question of luck . Luckily when I did get a response , I was told " We don't provide such services. We can not defend you on legal grounds for contract related issues. We just come in during closing". So we did not contact the firm for any further issues. We set a closing date 1 month in advance and informed Attorney Bertollete. 1 week before Becky comes and tells me the attorney is not available and we should move our closing. So not only do I not get any meaningful service from the firm , but I also face inconveniences and problem purely developed and caused by Bertolette Law firm. Ridiculous!
In short the service could be described as unprofessional, unreliable and meaningless!

I love Attorney Owen Eagen, I had a great experience. Unfortunately not so much with the staff. I had mistakenly lost a check that the office had given me during a closing. The check was part of the closing. On May 25th I went directly to the office and the front desk lady came to the screen and made me feel line a second class citizen. Than told me to walk to the side of the door while she open the door to talk with me. I understand covid and I work in a public place but again felt like a second class citizen. I understand everyone is careful. All I wanted was prompt service. If I had a closing I might have been treated better, I sent several emails and only one was returned. Not very nice. I work in banking and as a Branch Manager my customer whether right or wrong we always do our best to treat them with world class service. I am very disappointed, As much as I felt Attorney Eagen is professional and did a nice job on my closing. I feel his staff could have treated me a bit nicer.

I had an unfortunate accident while at work. My employer had told me that they would take care of all of my bills regarding the accident. After about a week, I start receiving calls with regards to information needed to bill my employer. I began to reach out to obtain the information from my employer, at which time they began ignoring my calls. I reached out the Attorney Goodstein and with in 48 hours of that initial call he began getting things in motion. He was always available and worked not only to get all my medical bills paid but also got me a settlement more that I expected. Attorney Goodstein was always personable and prioritized me and my case. To speak even more to his professionalism, my whole case he and I only ever spoke via phone or email because it was convenient for me! I would recommend Attorney Goodstein to anyone in need of an attorney for a workers compensation claim. Thank you Greg

He is welcoming and caring especially after what was a traumatic accident for my family and I. Whenever I reach out to him I receive a call, email or text within the same day. Never more than 24 hours. If I ever have a question I can reach out. Its very easy to post bad reviews these days. It's not fair to do it on things that are not true. I will gladly recommend Greg to anyone that needs assistance just as my mother has said she has done previously.

I have been working with Attorney Geraghty for almost 20 years now, and he is by far and away one of my easiest referrals! He has always represented my clients with the highest amount of attention to detail and ensuring that their closing process goes as smoothly as possible! I have always felt very fortunate to have met with Tim so early in my career, he took a part of the home buying process that I had no understanding of at all, and made sure it was the last thing I ever needed to worry about, and for that, I'll always be grateful.

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:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
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. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
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. -
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.
