Highly Recommend!

After my car accident when I needed to attend to my own medical conditions, John was there to guide me through the difficult process of understanding whether I should seek remediation. He was always professional, very kind, offered compassionate guidance and honored my path of healing. I'm grateful t...hat he was there for me during this time.

I would unhesitatingly recommend Attorney DiBartolo

I would unhesitatingly recommend the services of Attorney John DiBartolo. In December 2014 my husband and I were rear-ended waiting to exit the Mass Pike, and within hours I experienced agonizing pain in my head, dizziness and nausea. I was diagnosed with a concussion and thus began a period of ...many months of terrible pain, dizziness, aversion to light and noise. For a long time I could not drive, travel, could not even go for a walk by myself; my sleep was interrupted throughout the night because of pain; in every way my quality of life was in steep decline. As a self-employed consultant, I suffered terrible stress working to keep my business afloat while dealing with pain, incapacity and numerous doctor’s visits and physical therapy. From our initial meeting, Attorney DiBartolo impressed us as being extremely knowledgeable, professional and also kind and compassionate. He explained clearly the foreign world of litigation and it was a great relief to work with a lawyer who was supremely competent, who could file all the necessary papers, deal with the insurance companies and all the hurdles they seem to create, keep track for us of all the doctor’s bills and other costs which the insurance company was supposed to cover. He was always available to advise us and he met all the necessary deadlines to pursue our case. I felt tremendous comfort and ease in the midst of all this turmoil knowing John was taking care of everything perfectly. In the end when the case would have gone to trial he was expert in explaining to us what that process would be and we had complete confidence in his abilities should we have decided to go to trial; it was our decision though not to prolong the process any further and we were quite satisfied with the settlement he negotiated on our behalf.

Great Lawyer

John P. DiBartolo Jr. is the most efficient and nicest lawyer I have ever met. When he heard about my case from a former lawyer that doesn't do personal injury cases he immediately took it with confidence and compassion. He was very understanding of my situation. He fought like hell to help me get wh...at I deserved. Most people worry about "ohh well how much of the cut does the lawyer get for helping me?" Let me tell you its a good amount for all the hard work he puts into the case and to help you fight when you're at your weakest point. He is the guy to pick to fight for you when you've become a victim and can't carry on doing everyday things that you used to be able to do. I was a victim to a bad accident where I should have died and had nightmares of the accident and where I am living everyday in pain and suffering, but I feel better knowing that the person who did this to me had to pay for the damages and the suffering. John P. DiBartolo Jr. is the man you want to fight for you!

Excellent attorney

Looking for an attorney was a daunting task made necessary by the insurance companies and providers involved in my case. John’s solid, ethical and professional representation not only ensured that my medical needs were met but that I received a fair and reasonable settlement. Throughout the process, ...he was responsive, supportive, extremely knowledgeable and very kind. I would recommend him to anyone needing a caring and ethical advocate in the legal system.

Choose wisely!

If you are currently contemplating which personal injury attorney to choose to represent you, you may not yet know how crucial this choice is to your case and to your well-being. It’s a long relationship to either suffer under or be happy with. Fortunately, I found John DiBartolo after first making ...the wrong choice. Initially, I made the mistake of choosing a law firm that advertises on television, not aware that there were other options. I was told that the attorney I was assigned to (yes, assigned) was a partner. After taking my case, he later dropped me as a client because the insurance company wrongly said the accident was my fault. The issue was the sequence of traffic lights. Rather than fight the insurance company, that lawyer accepted the opinion of a witness who was mistaken about the light sequencing. Rather than look at the intersection himself, he accused me of lying about the color of the light. That first lawyer did not believe me, did not make the effort to do a real investigation, and certainly did not fight for me. From the first minute I met with Attorney DiBartolo things were different. He was genuine. After speaking on the telephone, Attorney DiBartolo went to the scene of the accident. When we met, he had already asked me questions, and he listened. At the end of our first meeting, his parting words of, “Let me handle this. You concentrate on healing and getting better,” was exactly what I needed to hear. Though the process was tough, he explained everything and answered any questions I had. Any time I needed to contact him, he and his wonderful paralegal were there. Every choice was mine. I found out in this process that, despite what ads may say to the contrary, not all attorneys are willing to take your case all the way to court. Many will only consider settling, despite your wishes. Attorney DiBartolo is willing to go to court if it’s appropriate to do so, and his reputation precedes him. In my experience, not all attorneys are created equal. Attorney DiBartolo really is in a different league. I highly recommend him and his services.
