This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very Satisfied

I am a 70 yr. old female who has never been in an accident and had no idea of the procedure . I called Atty. Joseph Lamy on the phone and he walked me through the process and made sure I knew exactly what to do. He stayed on the phone with me until the police arrived and continued to ask if I was O...K physically, and if I needed any other help. He continued to council me until he was satisfied that I received a fair settlement. He was always available to me if I had any questions and if he was not available his staff was always ready to help in any way possible until he could get back to me personally. I would recommend him to any family member or friend that was in need of an attorney.

So pleased with Joe

I suffered a lower back injury when my car was T-boned. Nothing broken and no surgery but it took a lot of rehab, cortisone injections and my doctor indicated I would never be the same. The insurance company made an offer that I thought was low but not too bad and I considered settling. Joe convin...ced me it was way too low and we went into binding arbitration. We were awarded almost 3 times what the insurance company had offered. I can't ask for any more than that.

Excellent experience! Excellent Attorney

I was rear ended at a high rate of speed and my car was totaled. I did not have health insurance or collision coverage so I was afraid of medical bills and the loss of my car. Joe spent about 45 minutes with me and explained everything to me. I had a rental vehicle two days after the accident and ...my total loss was paid for about 2 weeks later. When my case settled he negotiated my hospital bill with Lifespan since I didn't have insurance and I paid far less than the total amount due. He and his staff kept me well informed and I was just really happy with the whole experience. I think any one can confidently hire Joe to take their case.

Better than My Previous Lawyer

I'm very happy to recommend Joe. I had a accident in 2007 with a different lawyer. I had another accident late last year (2013) and I hired Joe. both times I sustained whiplash and required physical therapy. We just settled last week and Joe got me almost twice what I received for the other accid...ent.

Excellent Attorney

After my accident, the insurance adjuster was so rude; I just didn’t want to deal. That’s saying a lot from someone who works in the insurance industry. I hired Joe, as he came highly recommended. He is one of the most professional and thorough attorneys I have ever met. He truly cares about his cl...ients. He kept me informed throughout the process. I was very pleased with my settlement and I highly recommend Joe to everyone in need of a lawyer after an accident. He is a true professional!
