Posted by MAURA | May 22, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Much Gratitude

Leslie Harkavy was the first attorney who did not turn down my case simply because it would be difficult to win and likely would not garner a high settlement. She was not phased! She took my case and treated it as though it was just as important as a high profile case. She communicated with me at ...every stage of the process, and she was patient and respectful in every correspondence. Her persistence and attention to detail led to winning an excellent settlement. I am extremely grateful for Leslie Harkavy's service, and I thank her here by highly recommending her for any personal injury legal needs.
