Great Attorney

I was referred to Jay by a friend. He did not specialize in the type of law I needed. However, his knowledge of the law and his perseverance is what helped me. The case lasted 6 months and in the end the judge complimented Jay and told me I was lucky. I was lucky that Jay was my lawyer. I high...ly recommend Jay for whatever you may need.

Hotel Incident

It is unusual that the results I gained were better than I anticipated.

Posted by Anthony | April 02, 2013 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Strongly Recommend

I was introduced to John by a close friend who worked with him in the past. John handled a nuisance claim that could have easily cost me a large sum if not dealt with properly. John addressed the problem head on, studied the claim, the contract and prepared a response that was professionaly direct. ... The claim went away, as well it should have.

knowledgable, patient, clear

Mr Tierney handled my issues with professionalism and competence. He was patient in explaining the intricacies of my situation. Although I was under a great deal of strain because of my case, Mr Tierney was easy to talk to and reassuring.
