He was very empathetic, down to earth, and honest with me and my wife concerning what to expect in the next 6 months with my case.

Thank you Jason and team for all you have done for me.”

[T]his man is exceptional! He is the definition of integrity, as there was no doubt that he embodies a genuine concern /care for humanity.

I then met with Mr. Whittemore. He took my case. Mr. Whittemore is a sharp, very responsive, attentive, professional. He always politely spoke the facts. He kept me informed at all times.

When I thanked him for his time, he always reminded me that he was working for me….[T]he settlement turned out to be better than the best case scenario I was given to begin with….We couldn’t recommend Michael McLaughlin more highly. He is extremely competent and able in his field.”

Mike enlightened me on what constitutes such a case and explained why mine didn’t fit the criteria. He understood everything I laid out and expressed genuine compassion for my complex situation. He provided me with options that might help me and provided me with a much better understanding of the risks associated with each option.

“James was recommended by one of my friend. I am from Europe and all of my family members live outside of US. The car accident was not my fault, so it was hard to accept, it could happen. To deal with everything in my life was difficult being a single Mom with a special needs son. When I decided to hire an attorney, I knew in my heart James will be the best for me. I was hopeless and scared when we started our journey together. From the first minute and even now, I felt like he is not just my attorney who works for getting paid, he was my friend and family in the same time. He made out of my case the best. I will be always thankful and grateful for him and also for his staff. Do not hesitate if you need an attorney, He would be your best choice as well!!!!”

He was available at all hours of the day and evening, had great follow up and kept me looped in on the status of my situation. Michael provided counsel as I had questions. He guided me and helped me understand all steps of the process. A case like mine can be emotional, Michael had a nice balance of legal knowledge, empathy, honesty and some humor where needed along the way. I can’t say enough great feedback about Michael. I will absolutely use him if I ever need an attorney again and would highly recommend him to others!”

“Alan Wagner took our case when numerous other lawyers would not. Though he knew that his return on investment would be low, he was willing to accept the case on principle. My wife and I didn’t even have time to stop celebrating the fact that someone was willing to take the case before he actually had it settled….[H]e got every dime returned to us, with the payment plan in place in a matter of days from accepting the case. I can’t say enough about his professionalism, demeanor, and knowledge.”

We were not aware of any specialist in our area and asked Jason if he knew of a good doctor, we were very satisfied with the recommendation that Jason gave us, this doctor did surgery on my husband’s neck that did relieve the pain. Jason and his paralegal were amazing, they always kept us informed and kept in contact with us to see how we were doing, any questions or concerns we had were always answered promptly.
