Professional law team for personal injury case

Burt Polito and his team are professional and kept my personal injury case on track from our first meeting, until he settled the case out of court. There was always great communication and he and his staff really listen and kept me informed of all developments. Burt is a very smart and honest attorn...ey who I will use again if needed and don’t hesitate to recommend. I am very happy with the settlement he helped negotiate.

Awesome Attorney

Attorney Polito is a very good attorney. He explained every aspect of my case to me. There was a time during my case I became very discouraged, Attorney Polito showed compassion and helped me to remain positive. I am more than happy with my outcome. The entire staff was very helpful as well.

Great experience

I did not have Bert as my lawyer at the beginning of my case. I had a previous lawyer who I knew for a long time start my case. Turns out that his firm was not focused on personal injury but tried to take my case anyway. Turns out that he felt turning me to Bert was a better option. I was glad to hav...e Bert and his Firm take my case because overall the experience with him was great. He and his firm were open about all of what was going on between any person or company they had to contact. Very clear and concise about defining any technical terms. I would highly recommend Bert to anyone who is in need of a personal injury claim lawyer. He was able to get the numbers I originally wanted and some to spare.

Gives Lawyers a Good Name

I found Attorney Bert Polito, professional, caring, very knowledgeable. After my car accident I was overwhelmed with a head injury, medical bills and did not know how to proceed my insurance claims. Attorney Polito met with my wife and I and immediately put us at ease. We did not have to worry about ...a thing. I was able to focus on recovering. My recovery took a couple of years and Attorney Polito was always available to answer my questions and meet with us periodically. I always felt that he truly cared about our welfare. He even spoke with my daughter while I was hospitalized to assure us that he was on call at any time if we needed anything. Our case was finally settled and I was quite satisfied with how he handled everything.
