There are so many great things to say about Marty Weniz, this review cannot possibly do him justice, but here it goes:
A few years ago, at the age of 25, I had sustained a fall while walking along an un-lit deck. In the dark, unbeknownst to me, there was no railing and I fell 5 feet breaking my leg. Or so I was told. Months later, after much persistent pain it turned out that the doctor failed to diagnose that I had shattered my heel as well, and that the fracture was so severe, it required immediate surgery at the time of the injury. My hind foot suffered permanent damage, to which I still feel the effects today. Beaten down, but fueled with the desire to seek some justice, I had looked around for attorneys and no one wanted my malpractice case because it wasn’t “serious enough;” did I mention everyone drooled over my personal injury case? That is until I found Marty. He met with me immediately; he told me that he was taking BOTH cases!!!
He told me from the get go that this was going to be a process, and that I needed to be patient. Many discoveries, and often stressful depositions later, Marty always made sure I was super prepared for my depositions, and he kept me in the know, step by step. Then, almost like the universe came together to hand us good karma wrapped in a bow, in a matter of months, we got not one, but TWO very large settlements from the malpractice AND personal injury cases. Even Marty was flabbergasted that it happened so quickly and successfully!
The point of my little tale is to not only to sing this lawyer's praises for all to read, but to solidify that I truly feel Martin Weniz is just about one of the best attorneys the legal profession has got. And, if that wasn’t awesome enough, he is a kind, empathetic, and courageous man who will fight for what he believes in. In my case, it was my plight!
Thank you Marty!

When my family and I experienced a most unexpected and emotionally painful loss which we believed merited legal pursuit, we interviewed several plaintifs' attorneys before choosing to have Marty represent us. We were impressed not only by his knowledge, experience, and professionalism, but by his compassion. We also always felt that he was interested in our case for its relevance to challenges faced in the health care industry as well as its meaning to us personally. Our case took a long time to resolve. Re-experiencing the initial event over and over through the legal process was very hard, but Marty was right beside us to prepare us for each step, and support us through unpleasant things like the discovery process, and arbitration meetings. He always seemed to find time to just hear me "vent" or respond to what might have seemed "dumb" questions to someone with more experience. He understood that for us, our case was much more a matter of principle than monetary gain and represented us accordingly. In the end he helped achieve a settlement that was, I believe, viewed as fair on both sides of the table. While I sincerely hope to never need such services again, I am glad to know that Marty is around, just in case. I consider him still to be a friend.

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.

Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen Law Firm comes highly recommended. As I was turned down by numerous Law Firms; when they said "NO" GRYC said "YES." Mr. Gary Cohen, Mr. Eric Halsey, & Mr. Scott McCarthy are absolutely amazing along with the rest of their staff. This Firm is well respected professionals, very knowledgeable of the laws, strong, powerful, and work diligently for their clients. Whenever I needed to touch basis with my Attorney and if he wasn't available during the time I reached out, within a few minutes I received a call back. Our case for our son turned out to be "TRIUMPH."

I highly recommend the Law Office of Edgar Velazquez, P.A. I was introduced to Mr. Velazquez through a local chiropractor I was seeing after an auto accident in February, 2015.
Upon meeting him for the first time, I immediately noticed his professionalism, sharp attention to detail, respect, and I also sensed a certain level of trust. He took very specific notes about my accident and asked an array of thorough questions. I decided to hire him at that point, and left the office feeling like I made the right choice. As the case progressed, seeing the hard work being done only assured me even more that I was in good hands! The office staff followed up on EVERYTHING....every question I had was answered within a day or two and every email/phone call was promptly returned. This made the paperwork process much easier on my end and really left me with minimal to do. They are a highly organized office! Eileen, the office manager was very helpful and nice as well, and I'm sure she played a big part in those great organizational skills!
As the case wrapped up, I was satisfied with the final result! I knew Mr. Velazquez worked hard for my result and I don't doubt he served me much better than any other lawyer would have. I firmly believe his establishment is the best in the area! I recommend his expertise!

Without Janes dedication and hard work, the life of our precious son and that of our family would be very different and difficult indeed. Her staff was amazing and so great about keeping us informed of developments, and were so kind and gracious to work with. Very professional office but with a very compassionate way of dealing with difficult situations. We fell very blessed to have been represented by Jane and her colleagues and would recommend her to anyone we knew that needed this type of help. She has the knowledge and heart to do what she is doing and for that we are forever grateful!

I really couldn't be happier with Jane, John (Coletti), their staff (Carolee, Lisa, and Jan). Breaking from the normal lawyer stereotypes, I found Paulson & Coletti to be ethical, honest, and free of that normal 'slimy' lawyer stigma. Paulson and Coletti are good people, and I go to bed every night thankful to have had them on my team.

I hired Tim to help me deal with a legal dispute between myself and my former employer who was trying to withhold money that was owed to me. Not only did we not have to take this dispute to court Tim was able to secure a very large percentage of the money owed to me. Tim was professional, polite, and timely in all his communications with me and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal help.

I feel compelled to write this review of Attorney Olszewski because during his handling of my case, I came to realize that he is intelligent, knowledgeable of the law, excellent in a courtroom setting and most importantly, compassionate and understanding.
My case, unfortunately, was criminal in nature and I found it reassuring that Attorney Olszewski not only didn't judge me, he cared about me. He utilized his vast and accurate knowledge to not only fight for my rights but secure a favorable outcome within the confines of the law. Additionally, he was attentive and prompt in dealing with the details of my case and responding to my questions/concerns.
I would strongly recommend Attorney Olszewski to anyone seeking professional legal representation. He will not disappoint !!

After an untimely death occurred in my family I needed to find an attorney who would be willing to take
on the responsibility of finding out what had happened to my brother. After interviewing with other attorneys I new immediately when I sat down with Peter Paul Olszewski he was the right person for the job. Pete was very welcoming, comforting, and focused right from the start. Pete brought to the table a life committed to legal excellence. Having been a District Attorney and County Judge his credentials were impeccable.
Through the process of finding out what had happened in my brothers death Attorney Olszewski was determined and focused unlike any other individual I have ever worked with. Pete left no stone unturned in the search for the truth. If not for his tireless determination and positive attitude I would have never found out what had happened the night my brother passed away. He not only gave me the peace I was searching for but the satisfaction of knowing that the people who had been negligent were exposed and financially punished. For this I am forever grateful.
Should you need a person who will fight doggedly on your behalf I wholeheartedly recommend
Attorney Olszewski.
Thanks Pete!

Mr. Bongiovanni was an outstanding attorney skillfully using his exceptional attorney skills maintaining the highest level of professionalism during my highly contemptuous case. My case was personal and emotional and Mr. Bongiovanni never faltered resolving every obstacle (and there were many) presented by opposing counsel. Mr. Bongiovanni commitment went beyond expectations. He tirelessly worked to resolve my case. I would Highly recommend Mr. Bongiovanni.

In my professional experience, I have worked with a number of attorneys on a range of matters.
While many exhibit professionalism, none has surpassed the blending of professionalism, candor and empathy that Joseph possesses.
He has guided me through a sensitive legal matter that intertwined a complex set of business and personal concerns. He has also advocated successfully on my behalf in purely business matters and liability issues.
Through them all, he has demonstrated unswerving capabilities and a clear understanding of exactly what it means to be an advocate. He is a source of sound advice and good counsel, and above all...a directness that exudes an understanding of the matter at hand combined with the varying needs of the client; ranging from the obvious legal to the psychological to the practical.
Whether it being simply to serve as a sounding board or to think through contingency and strategies...Joseph is a wise man, a family man and a good man. He is responsive and communicative in a timely manner, as he understands that your respective legal matter might very well be the most pressing issue in your life, and he treats it as such. I have never, ever felt like a number or simply another manila folder on his desk.
He is someone I have come to rely on and also have the privilege to come to consider a friend.
To simply say that I could not recommend Joseph more wholeheartedly does him little justice.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Bob Morris and his team Including Joshua Knepp and Seth Wilson. All three attorneys were highly professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and made it a point to personally connect with my entire family during a very difficult time.
Bob especially is a very intelligent attorney, he possesses a high level of critical thinking. Bob is always thinking ahead of his peers and expresses ideas/plans of actions in a fierce, dominating, yet professional way. Bob and his team are a group of individuals I would recommend to anyone to have in their corner if they are looking for true justice.
Bob and his team are experts with the law and will ensure that you get what you are looking for. Bob's firm has an outstanding reputation and impressive credentials.
If anyone is in need of being represented by reputable, SMART, inter-personally sound and results oriented attorneys...please do yourself a favor and contact Bob Morris and team. They are fantastic attorneys/people and will always be remember to me and my family as hard workers that changed our lives forever. Most importantly they guided us to find true justice for my late father.
Bob represented my family in a malpractice case that lasted a total of 5 years. Throughout those 5 years, they worked tirelessly, completed a very high level of due diligence in all aspects and utilized there industry connections to find results and success.
Thank you Bob and team for everything you have done, it will never be forgotten!

Jessica brings an uncompromising professionalism to personal injury practice. I have had the pleasure of working side-by-side with her as co-counsel on several cases and she has been superb in every discussion and interaction. She treats clients, co-counsel, opposing counsel, and others with dignity and respect. I wholeheartedly recommend her to prospective clients and fellow attorneys looking for a strong co-counsel. Where Jessica goes, great outcomes will follow.

I was in a bad car accident that totaled my car and left me with painful injuries, a hospital stay, and unable to work, walk, or take care of my baby for months.
I was so fortunate to have Jessica working on my case. The motorist that caused the accident was underinsured and my medical bills and lost wages were way more than I could deal with. Jessica made the whole process simple for me. She completely coordinated the settlement process with my medical insurance, my auto insurance, and the auto insurance of the at-fault driver. At one point during my recovery, my doctor's billing service was hassling me about paying right away. Jessica contacted them and asked them to go through her so I wouldn't have the stress of dealing with them.
Jessica kept me informed during every step of the settlement process. She copied me on communications sent out to the various insurance companies and clearly explained the reasoning behind every decision, and what we could expect from each party. I could tell that she had a lot of experience working on personal injury cases like mine.
I feel confident that I got the best settlement possible. My medical bills were paid, my lost wages restored, plus Jessica worked hard to get me additional settlement money to pay me for my pain and suffering.
I would never choose to repeat the horrific experience of a car crash, but I'm so thankful for the expert work Jessica put in on my behalf after the fact. It allowed me to focus on my physical recovery, and not worry about any financial issues or jumping through insurance hoops. I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica. She is compassionate, professional, and really good at what she does.

Malcolm represented me in a consumer protection case in mid 2015. He was very understandable and listened to my concerns carefully and gave the most honest recommendations including- the best or worse possible outcomes from the case. He did not pressure me to make any decisions, rather would advice and give me enough time to make my own decisions in accordance to what I was comfortable with.
His communication skills were excellent. He literally informed me about every new finding and details about the case as soon as he can- through email, text or phone call. If Malcolm were running late for a meeting, he would call and inform me about it and even give the reason as to why he is late.
Malcolm is kind. For services that I could not afford, he referred me to the Memphis Area Legal Organization to aid me with some form of assistance. He also provided me with invoice documentation of every cost of his excellent services. Prior to my case, his good heart was also shown when he donated his car to benefit an organization I was working for as an intern- the Church Health Center, a clinic providing coverage for the working uninsured poor in Memphis.
He is a fast thinker, calculates his opponents’ thoughts wisely and makes a smart moves based on that. Due to his demands, the company I was suing was willing to drop the case even before heading to court and reimbursed me with enough money to recover my property. And with wonderful twists to the story, it was also featured on the commercial appeal newspaper. Malcolm is an excellent lawyer. I would highly recommend him for all your legal services matters.

Mr. Bradshaw is an outstanding attorney! He has represented me over the last few years, and he has been instrumental in fighting for me to get fair medical treatments as a result of a work related injury. He works with compassion and dedication, and he stands up in your defense when it comes to mitigation. When Worker’s Comp. denied me treatments, Mr. Bradshaw, stood in my defense, and took my case to the county courts, and he succeeded in getting me a fair settlement for treatments.
I highly recommend Mr. Bradshaw, he works hard for your best interest and he will keep the ball rolling in your defense; doing what ever it takes for a fair outcome.

From the beginning I was glad that I came to Charlie and his team for my personal injury case. They really took to time to listen to what happened to me and were truly empathetic of what I went through. I also felt like they were really on top of my case and always worked on collecting documents with plenty of time to spare so I never had to rush to meet any deadline which I really appreciate. They guided me throughout this process and we’re good about letting me know what I could expect moving forward. I was always prepped before any important appearance and the team occasionally emails, calls or texts to maintain updated on my condition (easy to reach if I had any questions or concerns and great communication in general). My case is currently still pending but I am confident that Charles Mirisola and his team are going to do their best to get me the compensation that I deserve. I highly recommend this attorney.

Alex was hands down one of the best attorneys I could have EVER hired. He made my court settlement a breeze for my child who could not defend herself ONE bit. My child was attacked by a pitbull who could have potentially killed her. Alex was there for every question I had down to explaining to me he would have my back until the very end... Which he did!
I struggled with the insurance company until he stepped in and took over for my minor child and finally got my voice heard. I never once worried about my case after hiring him and was always updated with my daughters case with each step it was going through.
If you are wondering if you should hire him… I’m living proof that he did everything in his power for my child’s voice to be heard and her case closed within a very timely matter. Do not hesitate in hiring an attorney because that’s what exactly what I did.. without hiring him my case might not have been heard at all.
Take the step and hire Alex!! Thank you again for everything you’ve done for my daughter and putting her FIRST!!

Mr. Brennan has won cases that 99% of the lawyers would lose and created more case law favorable to victims than any other lawyer that I know. He is approachable, competent, and aggressive. I have brought him in on many cases and get immediate results when the insurance companies see his name associated with the file. When you get a complicated case and need a lawyer, call the lawyer that lawyers refer to when they have a complicated case. Call Web Brennan.

Web treated my case with dignity, compassion, respect, and is extremely knowledgeable. Web is the total package!
I was seriously injured several years ago and had the honor of having Web Brennan take my case. The first time meeting him was with my parents. We were in awe of how he conducted himself as he was not the average ‘lawyer’ we expected to meet. Instead of taking advantage of us in the time crisis he gently and politely explained how to proceed without being forceful. He is truly unique, humorous, and the ultimate professional!

I was the victim in a severe rear end collision that left me with multiple injuries, including a concussion that made it difficult to manage my affairs. Tracey Dellacona handled every detail of my case with competence and class, keeping me apprised of every action she took. She was clearly looking out for my best interests and was assertive in dealing with the other drivers insurance company.

Tracey Dellacona was a bulldog for us. She immediately spoke up on our behalf when the situation called for it. She knew her business as well as our business. I felt that even though Tracey was a very busy business woman, she always made time to listen to us....especially me as I was very apprehensive. She was amazing! She appeared to be a southern lady but when she opened her mouth you never knew what was going to come out other than the truth and then the way she presented the truth was most impressive. I was grateful that she was my lawyer and not the lawyer up against us. I appreciated how she held nothing back. Tracey's personal appearance was most impressive as well. She was always dressed to the nines and carried herself with great confidence. I would never hesitate to contact her for legal assistance if the need came up in the future. She was most reassuring to us. My opinion of Tracey Dellacona is one of great esteem. She is a brilliant lady and knows the law inside and out.

Mitchell Hoffman & Wolf represented my family in the construction related death of my son. I met Paul in the initial interview as my ex-husband was referred by a friend to the firm. Paul displayed a fierce edge that was off-putting and I knew immediately he would be successful in negotiating a settlement changing my son's life to a legacy. In addition to his knowledge of the law (he successfully argued in the Illinois Supreme court to change venue) Paul and the entire staff were genuinely compassionate. Although we agreed my ex-husband would represent our family, Paul keep me included in details as the case progressed over a period of two years with personal calls and email. Of course the settlement will never be adequate, my son lost his life. However, I understand the law and the team led by Paul did an excellent job on behalf of my family.
