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.

The Podor Law Firm was invaluable in helping my company through a challenging time. Before working with The Podor Law Firm we had several accounts that were late on payments and were taking advantage of our previous contract that lacked several key points that protected our business practices. The team at Podor Law not only went out of their way to ensure our company received all the outstanding balances from late accounts. They were able to re-write our current contracts so that we would not be in the same situation again. Jesse was beyond responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. We now run our business with more confidence because we know that The Podor Law Firm has our best interest.

Our business ran into a jam with a customer a few weeks ago. I got in touch with Joan and she gave me great advice.

In 2015, my wife was hit by a distracted driver, and suffered very significant injuries.

We worked with Dan in a very complex personal injury case involving our youngest daughter. He was professional during all aspects of a 2-year relationship, he helped us assemble a solid case with a strong legal team and he offered us genuine personal support and concern throughout. We think very highly of Dan and can quickly endorse his services to anyone facing the confusing and bewildering challenges that result from wrongful personal injury.

Alan represented me in a personal injury claim a few years ago. I had contacted multiple lawyers before contacting Alan, all of whom said I had no case. Alan not only enthusiastically took my case, he won my case and got me a substantial settlement. Highly recommend Alan to anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer. He's a no non-sense, fight for his client, stand up guy.

I have had a continuing professional relationship with Mr. Rafkin for the past ten years. I was introduced to Mr. Rafkin by a third party who thought Mr. Rafkin could help in determining a course of action(s) to pursue. At our very first face to face meeting it was apparent that Mr. Rafkin is a cut above. Adam had clearly read all the background information we provided and had formulated a plan of action. He is an excellent listener and incorporated our concerns every step of the way. Mr. Rafkin is particularly skilled at establishing an objective/goal and then insuring that every effort is directed toward that objective/goal. Due to his excellent communication skills we always knew where we were and felt we were part of the solution. During court hearings, conferences, motions, orders, etc. we observed Mr. Rafkin at his finest - on his feet, responding in real time to new or changing information. He just is better than anyone else we observed at absorbing information and articulating a position. The results of the action Mr. Rafkin took on our behalf speak for themselves. We recovered funds well in excess of what we had thought remotely possible, and retained our award through appeal and appellate court. He is knowledgeable, smart, well organized, motivated and persuasive. Most significantly, Mr. Rafkin is a winner.

I was involved in a car crash where a guy with a 20ft trailer passed me on the shoulder of the one lane on-ramp shortly before entering the freeway. I was represented by an attorney who dropped the case when I was unwilling to accept a ridiculous settlement offer from the insurance company (Allstate). I called all of those injury / accident law offices which advertise constantly on the radio and billboards, the answer was always the same „Sorry, if it’s already in litigation, we are unable to take the case“
When I was about to give up and represent myself, I stumbled upon Eric’s phone number and I was surprised that I was able to talk to him directly, not through some „intake secretary“. He immediately told me that he would be happy to represent me but that he had an appointment on the day of the hearing which was scheduled a few days later. He called the court and was able to get another continuance, (the hearing had already been rescheduled several times).
The end of the story: We won the case. Eric was extremely well prepared and I was impressed how he presented the case. I don’t think that any attorney could have done a better job. The other party was represented by a mean former prosecutor who tried to blame me for the crash. I am not sure what the outcome would have been without Eric.

I was in the middle of a personal injury case that started heading south in late 2007. Mr Thomson guided me through the process necessary to substitute him as my counsel. His representation through a trial setting resulted in a defense counsel, representing my opponent, offering five times the settlement amount that was offered through prior counsel. He explained to me later that not all attorneys accept pi clients with his commitment to follow it through a trial setting. In my experience, his professionalism and courtesy toward me as with others involved was beyond exceptional. As client, my views were in part unrealistic and perhaps naive or ignorant are accurate descriptors. Anyway, he remained cool headed right down to the wire and set aside time for me along the way and afterwards to make sure I felt in the know. I think that you will agree his people skills and professional candor make him second to none. I mean that he won't waste your time and you will find his manner extraordinary.

I have worked with attorney Grippe for the last two and an half years. I was referred by a friend and so glad that I was. When first calling I had never needed an attorney and had no idea what to expect. Attorney Grippe was always patient, willing to explain, and quick to take action on things. Whenit came time to try my case he really went to bat for me to work to provide the best possible outcome. From attorney Grippe to everyone in his office I was blown away with their kindness, professionalism, and overall experience.

Ike is a very thorough and thoughtful attorney. He's honest, trustworthy and will let you know his true feelings and advice regarding a course of action with the client's best interest in mind, not his retention of you as a client and additional billings for him or his firm. He's a true business partner and confidant and takes his clients concerns and interests quite personally. I would strongly recommend Ike.

Ryan Reed is a diamond in the rough. I bet he won't be for long. He took all of my worry upon himself, and did so until we got what we deserved. If I happen to be in another accident - knock on wood - I will know exactly who I am calling immediately. I cannot imagine this much tenacity among many attorneys, and his presentation is soothing, as everything makes sense. I never felt like I was caught between judicial terminology and confusion, at all. I could write for hours, but I'm sure he'll be busy with your business. Everybody "needs Reed"

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!!

Attorney Karen Zahka represented my husband and I and settled our sons wrongful death lawsuit. Karen was professional, compassionate and confident at all times throughout this three and a half year process. We had direct communication with her, she explained every step in the case, treating us with the highest respect and honesty the entire time. 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. Wally and I are very lucky to have Attorney Karen Zahka in our lives.

We used Mr. Brazza for our new building lease. He went above in beyond negotiating our lease, it's terms and other issues. This was my first non-residential lease experience. Businesses leases are much more complicated (and longer). I wish I had hired him for my recent residential lease as I do not recall my other attorney being so thorough. I will certainly consider Mr. Brazza in the future should I require his services.

Michael provided me with incredible legal representation for an accident that left me with life altering injuries. He came to my rescue from the very beginning. Through every aspect of the legal process Michael explained and assisted me with incredible detail and patience. He provided me with incredible personal service and guidance throughout the process. Michael was there by my side through the discovery, the depositions and the final outcome before the judge. I have never been involved in any type of lawsuit prior to this and the thought of it was overwhelming. Michael immediately put me at ease and educated me on the process. This is not just a top notch attorney he is also is a caring and personal people oriented individual. Michael's guidance resulted in an extremely favorable result for me. He will fight for you, he will listen and he will deliver in a very realistic and professional manner.

Michael was a pleasure to work with. Many times you will run in to people who are very vague, non-responsive, and only communicate with you regarding decisions that are of interest to them. Michael was none of those things. He made sure to contact me every step of the way and explain every term and issue to me in its entirety. My family and I knew almost nothing about the legal process involved with a personal injury case and Michael could not have been any more helpful. I really appreciated all of his effort and I gladly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a personal injury lawyer.

I am a retired United States Postal Service employee. I was injured on the job that involved a third party of a contracted leased trucking company. I was unable to return to work due to the injuries I had sustained and retired on disability a year later. The lawyer I first consulted was injured and eventually turned my case over to Jackson Associates Law Firm and Ms Tiffany N. Sims took over my case. She gathered all supporting documents together from all the doctors I had seen, there recommendations for treatments, rehab and medications. In my accidental case as an postal employee my injuries were caused by negligents of the driver hired by a trucking company that's licensed, bonded and has a contract with the United States Postal Service for distribution/delivery of mail. Ms. Sims experience with work related lawsuit immediately contacted me for consultation and within less than a year of taking on my case an agreement was settled with very good closing results. I was very satisfied. She kept me updated with phone calls as well as emails on everything that was happening and all she was doing. Ms Sims experience, dedication and time she put into my case was grateful, she even consulted with an outside medical specialists in the field of injuries I sustained for their recommendation and advice thinking ahead towards settlement. Ms. Sims I appreciate all your efforts you put into settling my case and I would greatly recommend your service out to others seeking a great lawyer. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your dedication and time! Great Job!!!

Elizabeth or “Liz” how her office staff calls her, is a down to earth person. She makes you feel at ease despite the stress involved with a car accident. I hired her in 2016 when I had a car accident then unfortunately, I recently had another car accident so I hired her again. She makes herself accesible to clarify any questions and/or concerns that I had/have regarding my case. She is a true professional! Her office staff is also very nice. Liz makes sure that my case is taken care of in a timely manner. I highly recommend Elizabeth as your personal injury attorney.

Mr Shapiro and his staff did an excellent job of settling my personal injury case. Because of Rick and his staff I received a settlement which was well above the normal for my type of injury. Rick and his staff spent the time and effort needed to research and prepare for my case. His fees where well justified and he always had the clients interests in mind. Mr Shapiro and his staff made a very trying and difficult process much easier to go through. I would with out hesitation recommend Mr Shapiro to my closest family and friends as the best choice for a lawyer in the Phoenix area. Mr Shapiro should be your first phone call, he is a pleasure to work with, and he has the experience to get your case solved.

In 2010 I was in an accident in a store that is owned by a large corporation. . Before my wife and I were able to leave for the ER at the Hospital the Management at the store insisted that I fill out their injury forms.
They offered to call an ambulance, but I was taken to the Emergency Room by my wife instead of waiting longer for an ambulance.
The accident caused new injury to my cervical area and reinjured a previous Cervical Fusion that I had in 2001.
The ER took X-rays and said to see my Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon within three days. I made an appointment with my Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon, He sent me for an MRI and other tests. It was determined that surgery would be necessary to repair the new injury and the additional new injury to the previous cervical fusion.
During this time I received a letter from the corporation which denied any responsibility for my injury and told me to use my personal insurance to pay for any injuries I felt I may have had.
My wife and I decided it was time to retain an attorney.
My wife’s UAW Legal Services recommended an attorney by the name of Jeffery S. Cook. We called Jeff to discuss my accident. I wasn’t feeling well enough to ride in the car so Jeff actually came to our house to discuss my situation. We were impressed with Jeff instantly, he felt we had a case but with big corporations nothing was guaranteed. We instantly believed in him and retained his services.
Jeff did a stellar job; his knowledge, attention to detail, dependability and caring nature keep us aware of any and all progress. He was honest with us when it came to reality checks which we appreciated. He even honestly kept us aware of times when there was lack of progress.
I did have another surgery which involved Cervical Fusion which proved all of my Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon’s diagnosis.
After several months Jeff was able to work out a settlement that was agreeable to me and the Corporate Lawyers that represented the store. We had settlement and we would retain Jeff again if we need another attorney. As a matter of fact we did use him again at a later date.

Attorney Katz was engaged by our family to handle a very unique situation involving the burial of my father and mother in a local cemetery. Our father died first, and his cremated remains were buried at the cemetery and a headstone placed at the cemetery's direction.
When our mother died, she was supposed to be buried with my father’s urn. But the cemetery buried her in the wrong plot, and could not find my father’s urn. Eventually the cemetery moved her to the correct plot, but my father’s urn was still missing. The cemetery company told us, “We believe we have filled all of our obligations.” Attorney Katz then filed suit on our behalf. Ultimately, through his efforts, my father’s cremains were found, we had a proper funeral and received a settlement in compensation for all that our family had been put through.
At all times Attorney Jonathan Katz was reachable by the family and he worked tenaciously to get this matter resolved.
I have spent 30 years in law enforcement, and I understand what good lawyering is.
Thank You Attorney Katz for accepting his unique legal matter and seeing it thru to the end bringing closure for the family.
I would highly recommend you and your firm for both criminal and civil matters.

I have known Jim Ginzkey for approximately 13 years. My husband and I have retained him for services as well as called upon him for legal advice. I have referred friends and/or acquaintences to him for services and legal advice. Jim is extremely knowledgeable and honest. I have found that if he did not feel he was the best attorney suitable for advice on a specific matter he would provide a name of another attorney he felt could better assist. Jim is of excellent moral character. He is involved in the community. He is an honorable and trustworthy friend.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
