Extremely Satisfied

After a severe car accident Harvey was highly recommended to me as a personal injury attorney. After speaking with him on the phone I felt very assured that I was speaking to the right person for me. After reviewing my accident, he accepted my case and from there it was a very easy process on my par...t. With his many years of experience with personal injury cases, he knew exactly what to do and what questions to ask. Harvey was in contact with all the insurance companies, physicians, medical facilities and police departments involved to get the information needed to get the best settlement for me. After only 6 months the case was finalized and settled to everyone's satisfaction. Harvery and Patricia are very professional and caring and truly want the best for you. With every conversation they would first ask how I was feeling and how my recovery was going before getting into the legal aspect, that made me feel like I mattered as a person not just a case he was handling. I would recommend Harvey 100% to handle your personal injury matters.

The best lawyer I know .

I could write a book on what Harvey and his staff did for me . His care and concern for my health and well being was over the top. I could call him for anything, and he was always available.

His level of care made all the difference.

Contingency Fee Agreement for Personal Injury Case

Attorney Kulawitz represented me in a personal injury case that occurred on December 18, 2014. I first met with him on December 31, 2014 and signed a contingency fee agreement; the final settlement date was September 8, 2015. During the process, Attorney Kulawitz and his staff guided me through filin...g for "pain and suffering" as well as other paperwork regarding Medicare, prescription costs reimbursements, doctor bills from numerous visits to various physicians, and other costs incurred as a result of the incident. The office staff and Attorney Kulawitz followed up frequently to ask about my progress and to keep me abreast of the entire process. Having had no prior experience in this area of personal injury, the guidance I received was very helpful and always professional. I am pleased with the final settlement received as a result of our claim.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I practice the same area of law as Harvey, but in a different jurisdiction. From speaking to Harvey on a range of legal issues, I know first-hand that he is extremely knowledgeable about personal injury law. Harvey knows what it takes to successfully prosecute a case from start to finish. Harvey zealously advocates for his clients and has the utmost respect for fellow members of the bar. Harvey cares about his clients not only getting compensated for their injuries, but also for their long-term well being and the well being of their families. Harvey's passion for representing accident victims is reflected by his high-quality work product. Based on his passion, professionalism, and the personal attention he pays to every case, I can recommend Harvey Kulawitz with confidence."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Harvey Kulawitz to be a thorough and aggressive litigator, while always keeping his clients’ needs first. He is a highly skilled negotiator, and will attempt to resolve a matter in his clients’ best interests without the necessity of having to take it to trial, if at all possible. But he is a fierce rival when he does try a case, should it prove necessary. He is well respected among his peers, by the Bench and Bar. I recommend Harvey Kulawitz without reservation or qualification. I suggest he be called for a consultation if you want the best possible result for your claim or lawsuit."
