Mr. Curnow did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it, for the fee he said he would charge. The case closed much earlier than expected, because the "other side" just wilted. I could not have been represented better.

I hired Mr. Watson in 1998 for a work related auto accident with injury. The corporation wanted to get rid of me in order to make the problem go away. I was a very good emplyee with an outstanding work ethic. In one instant I was struck by a car running a red light. My life did a 180. In a time I needed support, and was suffering both physically and emotionally I found Mr. Watson and his team of staff. They handled me delicately, understood my needs, and fought to get my life back on track. When I was out of work Mr. Watson personally found work for me to do so I could continue to make a living during the legal process. Years later, just a month ago he repented me against an insurance company to recover work related income lost to their client wrecking our work vehicle which is our source of income. I would and do send any of my friends and family to him. He is ethically professional and morally sound on a personal level. Not only is he a fantastic attorney, I consider him a friend of about 20 Years. Thank you Mr. Watson.

If you are looking for a great attorney look no further. Mr. Watson was very professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of my case. He took the time to explain my rights as an employee in the workplace, and stood up for my rights as a worker. I was falsely accused by management of actions that I did not do. Mr. Watson provided excellent council making inroads and solving problems when the union was inept at providing me with proper representation. He not only protected my job record but was very thorough in proving their accusations to be false. Mr. Watson really looks out for the little guy, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing workplace representation.

Nick has handled several different types legal matters for me. He assisted me with both of my parents estates, he was the closing attorney on several different real estate transactions, he handled an eviction for a rental property I own when I lived out of state, and he helped both my son and husband with moving violations. I would highly recommend Nick Rego. He gets things done in a timely manner, he will respond quickly to emails, even over the weekend, and he has always answered my questions and made sure I had a clear understanding of the matter at hand. Nick is always the first one I call for any legal issue.

We are so thankful that we had someone like Mark to help us through such a hard time. Mark is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I never doubted that he knew what he was doing and had the background and legal expertise to get us through any hurdles. He was very good at keeping us informed throughout the entire legal process. He was very good at explaining the options and letting us decide which route to take. When we were unsure, we relied on his judgement and could not be happier with the results. Mark is also surrounded by an amazing legal team including his colleague Lincoln and assistant Gay. They made us feel like a part of their family. I always felt that they had our best interest in mind. Thank you for a great job Mark, we are very grateful.

Mark is an amazing person and he goes out of his way to make you feel like family. He also stands up for you more then you could imagine. He will fight for you and never give up. He is extremely loving and kind but don't forget that he is a lawyer and has that side of him fighting for you at all times. Mark is the very best at what he does. He has been in my life for a long time and it is hard to think about not having him calling to see how I am doing. I also want to add that Mark has a great team behind him. Gay is amazing at being there for you no matter what you need. I just want to thank them for helping me through one of the hardest things I have ever been through.

Elliot Schiff successfully represented me in a litigation in which the judge, retired but active, commented that Attorney Schiff was among the best he had encountered. Thorough and efficient, at home in court, skilled and persuasive, Elliot Schiff is a highly effective attorney. I am completely satisfied, and I would recommend him without reservation.

I was involved in an MVA with a tractor trailer while working that resulted in totaling my vehicle and requiring three back surgeries and missing months from work. The worker’s compensation company believed that since they felt I was not at fault kept pushing me to help them recover their monies that had been paid out for medical payments and wages. After threatening me to help them, I went and consulted with Mr. Collins about my options and how pushy the worker’s comp company was becoming. After a few days, I hired him to represent me against the trucking company and the worker’s comp claim became subordinate to mine.
Having been through a couple of previous accidents, Jack is the finest lawyer I’ve have ever had the pleasure of working with. Throughout the case he kept me up to date on everything that was taking place and what I should be expecting and rough timeframes. Since the trucking company was not local he travelled to take their depositions and make the best case we possibly could in preparation for trial. Because of Mr. Collins’ and his associates dedication and his exceptional knowledge of trial preparation, fair value for my sustained injuries, and ability to read the other parties resulted in a settlement that far exceeded my wildest dream.
I give him my strongest personal recommendation to anyone that is looking for a lawyer that is truly concerned about helping you “the person” and not just treated as another client.

Jim Penney has successfully assisted with multiple unfortunate civil issues encountered here in Southeastern Arizona.
In a government position, a female co-worker made bogus accusations that she had been sexually harassed. When it came time for the deposition, she suddenly had a severe case of amnesia and in fact became quite angry when Jim caught her in her insatiable scenario of lies.
At a retail store, a female manager kept using unwelcomed words of endearment such as “hon, daring, sweetie…” when we were not dating. After multiple requests to stop such conduct, termination was the ultimate punishment. Jim was able to obtain a “Right to Sue Letter” from the E.E.O.C.
An H.O.A. President felt it was OK for females to enter the Men’s shower facility unannounced. An effective but diplomatic warning from Jim took care of that problem.
Another employer felt it was appropriate to terminate an employee for reporting serious health and safety issues on the job site in addition to known sex offenders hanging out in the children’s area. His representation earned an unemployment insurance claim.
Jim has been a straight shooter when it comes to a projected case outcome and finances. He returns the majority of phone calls within 24 hours. Thus he has truly earned “The Best Civil Attorney in Southeast Arizona”

My experience with Mr. Penny begin about 10 years ago when he was selected as someone to help me during an injury. He successfully provided an opportunity for a fair settlement due to that injury. My experiences with him provided his expertise and assistance at a very emotional time. He went on to provide other necessary services and information as needed in the past 10 years.
Always professional, friendly and helpful. He is highly recommended by me and my husband.

I worked with Chris on a high-value medical malpractice case for two years, and I would highly recommend him. He is a very sharp, experienced attorney who thrives in the courtroom.

I was referred to this law firm by another lawyer. He felt that Chelsea's firm would be a better fit for my case, a fall injury on private property. I have to say, from day one, that this firm was helpful and everyone I dealt with was polite and very caring. I would recommend Chelsea and her firm to anyone.
I had never filed a law suit before and they walked me through the whole thing and were very up front about everything that was going on.
I will use them again if the need ever arises.

Once Carol took my case, I no longer had the worry of dealing with the company at all, and I could focus on taking care of myself, healing, and moving ahead with my life.

Carol helped me when I needed it most. I had no clue where to start but once I retained Carol she got the ball rolling for me. I never had a question she couldn’t answer. Overall Carol was a crucial factor in my recovery. Carol made the legal issues the last thing I had to worry about which was a huge relief. I would highly recommend Carol to other’s as well as use her in the future if I had any legal issues.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Joe Michelini to handle our will. This was the first time we had this done and didn't know what to expect.

Highly recommend Joe for his professionalism and for making this such a positive experience for us!

I had the opportunity to use Joseph Michelini for the first time as my attorney when my wife and I bought our first property in 1987. Today, many years later I continue to use and recommend Joe Michelini for matters that require an attorney. I have been fortunate to be witness of his good character, integrity, knowledge of the law and his amazing ability to deal with people in all situations. I highly recommend Joseph Michelini if you are in need of an attorney or thinking about trying one out for the first time.

We hired David Mazie and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. David is responsive and kept us informed with every aspect of our case. David fought hard for our interests and is a responsible advocate, who is respected for his experience and dedication.

David Mazie, in my opinion, is the best Attorney in the Country. Although he is well versed in legal knowledge, he dealt with our family with the utmost compassion and respect. Without being too specific, our case was nine years old when presented to him. He tirelessly worked around the clock with his firm, sometimes meeting or calling us after hours or on weekends. He takes his cases personally, so, he is very selective with his law partners and other professionals he brings into every case. You would really think that a lawyer of his stature wouldn't be pleasant to work with, but our family found him very personable and he can relate to people from all walks of life. We prayed for a top notch Attorney like Atty. Mazie and our prayers were answered. We had spoken with other lawyers but none were as professional and dedicated to our case than David Mazie. Our long and drawn out law suit was wrapped up by Mr. Mazie with amazing speed It only took him two years to research and finally try our case, which we won !!
To get the best results for his clients, he only works with the best - that's it! That's his secret, if any at all. He brought in professionals from different states who are all at the top of their field. We know that this is more expensive to do but Atty Mazie is so confident in winning that he stops at nothing to give his clients more than a fair chance should there be a trial. He uses the latest technology in and out of the courtroom. An example of this is that he brought in computer graphics specialists to reenact the specifics of the case so that the jury could fully understand the details of the case.
Please look no further for an Attorney. DAVID MAZIE IS THE BEST LAWYER!. What more do you need to contact him? Be fortunate if he takes your case, because you know you are in good hands with a top notch and well respected lawyer.
Good Luck !!

When, at age 44 my son suffered a massive Ischemic stroke, my greatest concern was how he would be able to live a normal life without the use of his speech and his arm.. Daryl Zaslow went to bat for him and through his tireless efforts, his medical knowledge and his sincere concern for my son, Mr. Zaslow secured for my son a future not only without financiial worries, but with hope and happiness. There are no words to express the thanks of our family to a great lawyer.

Just want to say thanks to Mr Sam Crowe for representing me with my case. He has done an outstanding job. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!

06 Jul, 2015 by Kelly
My husband and I met Mr. Crowe a couple of years ago when my husband was involved in a hit and run accident on his Harley Davidson. Someone hit him and left him laying in the road. I contacted a random attorney that I googled in Conyers, GA where we live. I explained to him what had taken place and shared my concerns with him regarding all of the medical bills that we were facing and all of the Doctor's appointments and physical therapy appointments that we were looking at. From the very beginning, Mr. Crowe was helpful and walked us through everything that we were dealing with. He was so knowledgeable and agreed to meet with us immediately. He even drove out to our home. A lot of Attorneys are arrogant and are only interested in high dollar cases. I never got that feeling from Mr. Crowe. The name of the Law Office that he practices at is Tolliver and Gainer. They are located in old town Conyers. The entire staff has always been friendly and helpful. They make you feel like family right away. Mr. Crowe was able to obtain compensation for my husbands injury even though the person that hit him left the scene of the accident. Piggy backing on the review above, I have nothing but positive feedback for this Attorney and I will recommend his services to all of my family, friends and co-workers. Mr. Crowe is a family man and very involved in our community. He does not act like he is better then anyone and he is very dependable and knowledgeable. He maintained contact with us constantly and even gave us his personal cell phone number. My personal experience with Mr. Crowe and his firm is that he made me feel like our case was the most important case that he was handling at all times. I hope that this helps you to make a decision about who you would like to represent you or your loved one. I promise that you will not regret it.

I met Kim in 2005 because my mother-in-law had been abused in a nursing home and because of this abuse died. From the moment we met I knew she was caring, compassionate, honest and full of integrity. . We started our journey in 2005 and finally concluded in 2008 after an 8 week trial. We won the case and Kim was awarded the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association Top Gun Award in 2008 because of our case.
She is an amazing woman and an excellent attorney. She leaves no rock unturned while dealing with your case - sometimes good for you and sometimes not so good. But you always know where you stand.

Mr. Satcher helped me out tremendously after I was injured in a 18 Wheeler accident. I was off of work, had bills backing up and he was able to move my case fast and we got an awesome outcome. I got money for loss of wages, pain and suffering and my medical bills paid!!! I would highly recommend anyone that is injured to call him. He also talked to me or called me back every time that I would call his office. Most attorneys won't ever talk to you and that is the personal service that you need with an attorney. Debra

I was recommended to Darin by a friend of mine and it was a great decision. I was T-boned while driving through an intersection on my motorcycle. Darin fought hard to get all of the medical bills taken care of as well as getting a fair value for my damaged property. This started as a no fault case but he worked diligently to prove culpability. I appreciate him taking the time to explain every part of the process along the way. I would recommend Darin to anyone in need of an attorney.

From the beginning of our experience with Hutton and Hutton Law Firm, we just kind of knew these were our guys. We had a very difficult case involving a minor and they went above and beyond any and all of my expectations. They not only fight for you but they get to know you and I still receive emails on Holidays and occasional calls just checking in. I could not be happier with Darin Hayes and the service that was provided for us. They helped us get everything we needed and more for my son.

I hired Mr. Armbruster based on my personal knowledge of his skills and knowledge of the FELA law. His staff and Law partners are in my opinion, seconed to none. They handled my case with profesionalism, and personal concern. These were very hard times for me, as I had a great deal of pain from my injury, and had the stress of income loss to deal with. Mr. Armbruster and his office never let me down. Any problems that came up were delt with quickly, and correctly. My doctors and debtors too had confidence in Mr. Armbruster. I was able to handle every problem that came along through the process of my case thanks to this Law Firm. I truely hope anyone seeking help from a Lawfirm look no further than this review, in my opinion to go any further, or anywhere else, is a poor decision, and a waste of your time. These people are the very best!

Render Freeman represented me in an auto accident claim. Render came highly recommended by a professional friend who observed Render’s work in the courtroom. Because of that recommendation my expectations were extremely high, without question his results have thoroughly impressed me. My case was by no means ordinary; the challenges of my case have been met by Render’s experience and tenacity. He is a brilliant person who is able to communicate to me and everyone involved in a language we can understand. In addition, Render has a truly great Team supporting him at his firm.
Through the entire process I have felt that I was Render’s number one focus! I would definitely recommend Render Freeman.

I highly recommend Vadim Mzhen, Angelica Carliner, and their law firm, regardless of how large or small your case may be, whether straight forward or complicated. They have the knowledge, experience, patience, persistence, and network of medical experts to ensure you have the best outcome for your case, whether personal injury or the untimely and preventable death of a loved one. Vadim, Angelica, and the entire firm will work diligently to represent you.
Vadim and Angelica successfully represented me in a very complicated three-part wrongful death lawsuit against an Assisted Living Facility and its large insurance company, represented by a very large and prestigious law firm with tremendous resources.
At all times, Vadim and Angelica were accessible and very responsive to my questions and concerns, communicating directly with me to explain strategies and the legal process honestly and clearly. They kept me informed and explained the legalities as the case progressed, while maintaining compassion and sensitivity to my loss. They truly worked for me, achieving a very favorable outcome and they will do the same for any of their clients.
I will always contact Vadim and Angelica for any future legal needs I may have and I am so very grateful for their tireless and unrelenting efforts on my behalf and justice for my dear Mom. Thank you so very much!
