CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Dear Steve:

  Thank you for answering me, you have a great web site, it was helpful.  But I do have to suggest you add sections of this book, "What Every body is Saying" by Joe Navarro, than your web site would be perfect!  It's the only book on body language I have found that is simple and offers photos.

   As to where I am located, it's in the State of Florida.  This case which I'm involved in is in Florida.

   Discovery is just about over and depositions are underway.

   I had just sent you an email with a brief overview of my case but forgot to mention, after carefully reading your web page seven times and reading the book "What every Body is Saying" by Joe Navarro, five minutes into the deposition the lawyer grilled me on what legal background I had and if I had ever worked for a law firm...............I thought it was amusing.

Thank you

I came across your site while having to do research for my case since having to fire my attorney. I am a plaintiff in a civil case in PA. I wish I could find a well qualified firm like you in the areas I need that deals with Traumatic Brain Injury, Personal Injury, and who is professional and willing to help with the case. Your site has been helpful. Thank you.

Hello, I searched for information regarding the types of questions that were allowed at a deposition, due to questions that were asked about my medical condition that occurred 7 yrs prior to the accident. However, once I read your advice regarding how to properly respond during a deposition I was truly comforted.  Your information was greatly appreciated.  It allowed me to realize that she was really trying to "tick" me off, and get the attitude which you were speaking of.  My deposition is set for March 12, at 1:30 pm. and I'm ready for it!!!  Thank You for the information.
Sincerely,
P.H.

Dear Steve: I  read most of this site and I am so proud of you. You talk on the level of the  people that need your help, that's important. You list the things that I respect  most about you. You hate to lose, and you tell people what they need to hear,  not what they want to hear. That's a fact. You don't, however, mention that all  the while you are fighting for their case, you are quietly (through your  conversations, and actions) helping them realize that life will be different  when the case has ended, and how you help people be ready for that time. I hope  that you always show each client the same care and kindness that you showed to  me and my family. We were able to live again, differently then before Jerr's  accident, but still a life worth living all the same. Just as you said. I think you did a great job conveying your intelligence and your honesty, you may have  forgotten your compassion - we never will. Terri Phelan-Ruden and Jeff Ruden

Dear Mr. Lombardi: Although disappointed I understand your advice and opinion that our son's death claim would not be successful. This legal matter was important to us and the memory of our son stays with us daily. My wife and I want to thank you for reading the autopsy report, the police reports, reviewing the evidence and your attention but mostly I appreciate your communication and giving me a full explanation for not taking this case. Another law firm did not have the decency to answer me in any way except with a no. Your taking the time to make sure we appreciate the difficulties of this case can finally give us closure about filing suit.

Now that I understand the weaknesses of the evidence and see it applied to the law I can understand why a jury would probably not make a substantial award or might find against us entirely. Knowing that we could spend a lot of money on litigation costs with no recovery was something no previous attorney took the time to explain. You did what you said you would do; you told us what we needed to hear not what we wanted to hear and that is all we ever really needed. We needed to know someone cared enough to spend his time not just looking for a case, but looking to make sure we pursued a successful case. From what the referring attorney told us about you we are aware of your reputation for honesty and being forthright. In that regard he was right and my wife and I thank you.

We wish you our best for your future and should we have other legal matters to discuss will call upon you as you've invited us to do.
