Amazing Lawyer

Mr. Briskin represented my daughter and me in connection with a rear end hit car accident which took place in January of 2022. I suffered neck and back injuries which ultimately required surgery to treat. After having recovered the full amount of money from the responsible driver's insurance compan...y, Mr. Briskin sued my insurance company and was able to recover the entire insurance policy on my behalf. There was always an open line of communication and the result under the circumstances could not have been any better. Thank you very much for fighting for me and my daughter!

Motorcycle accident

I was injured in a motorcycle accident In May of 2024 when I was a passenger on a motorcycle being operated by a friend of mine who caused the accident and had no insurance of his own. Peter Briskin took care of locating coverage, setting up claims for my treatment and was able to recover compensatio...n for my pain and suffering. HE was able to do all of this quickly and with minimal involvement on my part. I am very grateful to him and his staff and recomend his services as a personal injury lawyer.

Injury lawyer that fights for his clients

Peter was referred by a friend of mine from my community who was also represented by him for injuries in a car accident. I am likewise very happy with his services. He stayed in touch, was always there to answer any questions and fought like a pit bull for me. He was able to recover money for my i...njuries which I sustained when I was hit in Jersey City by a lady driving a car through a fence on private property and then slamming into me 100 feet away. Her insurance company settled but mine put up a fight. Peter didn’t back down and got me the compensation i deserved.

Peter will back you 100%

Peter took the time to listen to me and my injury case upon consultation. From the beginning, he patiently explained the process and gave me all the scenarios we could expect along the way. I knew that he was going to get the help I needed. For over a year, Peter periodically checked in with me durin...g my recovery and even spoke with me before surgery to help calm my nerves. Any time I had a question or even just wanted to discuss my feelings and frustrations about my recovery, he was easy to get in touch with and always willing to listen. Almost immediately after my medical clearance, negotiations began as Peter and his team had been prepped and ready with my case and within 4 months, my case was settled. Negotiations were easy for me as Peter did all the hard work and wouldn't entertain any absurd offers from the insurance adjuster. I am glad to have had Peter on my team during this difficult time in my life!
