I would highly recommend this group to anyone who needs representation for any injuries. From day one I was informed of what to expect and how the process would go. During the entire process there was constant communication between myself … More and my paralegal, Nadia. She made sure that all questions were answered and concerns addressed each time we spoke. I never had to wait long for responses. She was definitely on her job! My attorney was Mr. Feiner and although I only spoke with him once, he was very pleasant and knowledgeable about my case and how to proceed with my care. Overall I’d say this is one of the best groups out there!
