Great lawyer for accidents Peter Briskin

Mr Briskin helped me navigate a difficult situation when I slipped and fell in a local supermarket causing me a serious injury and requiring surgery. He worked hard to get me money for everything I went through and to have my medical bills paid. I am grateful to him and his hard working staff.

Legal Clarity and Common Sense Approach

Mr. Peter Briskin accepted to represent me in a pedestrian accident which left me with a great deal of physical pain due to the injuries I sustained and emotionally drained seeing all the medical bills piling up and not knowing where and how to start the process of contacting insurance companies and ...so on. Right from the onset Mr. Briskin had a clear path: Protect my legal rights by making sure the insurance companies had the coverage ready and guaranteed for the medical treatment I needed. From there on it was all about my recovery. Mr. Briskin dealt with the insurance companies and I was free to move on with doctors' appointments, surgery and physical therapy . Eventually, Mr. Briskin also managed to get a significant financial award to cover some of the pain and suffering I had to go through in this process. I highly recommend Mr. Peter Briskin to anyone who might be in need of legal representation on a personal injury situation. Thank you again Peter. Alberto
