Thank You Aileen!

I was in a bad car accident not to long ago. I was stopped at a red light and an intoxicated driver slammed into me while traveling at approximately 50 mph. My car was totaled and I was badly injured. I sustained a neck injur, a dislocated shoulder in addition to a slipped disc. I am in constant pa...in on a daily basis and have been to dozens of dr’s appointments, including the emergency room as well orthopedic dr’s and am now in physical therapy. NJ is a no fault state when it comes to injury’s in a car accident. This was not known to me and means that I am responsible for my own care even though I was at no fault in this accident and since I have a deductible on my insurance the medical bills are starting to pile up. It also turns out that the driver if the car that caused this accident has inadiquate insurance coverage and I know have to use my own insurance to cover the cost of a new vehicle. This has been incredibly stressful on both my family and I as I have missed work due to my injury’s and our household bills are also starting to go unpaid. A friend suggested that I speak to an attorney and gave me Aileen’s number. I contacted her and she immediately made me feel better about the situation. She is extremely knowledgeable about the law and what my rights are in a situation like this and she was able to explain it to me in words that I could understand. My wife and I decided to hire her. We are now working with her and she has since taken over everything from dealing with the police department because of an inaccurate accident report to corresponding with both insurance companies, dr’s offices and even the auto body shop that my car was taken to. We still have along way to go but I feel as though I have already won because Aileen has relieved me of all the stress of doing this on my own. I am confident that she can get me some relief from the continuous bills incurred by this accident and help me fight for my rights. Thank you Aileen

Truly saved the day

My lawyer, Aileen Perez, truly saw the good in me as I’m sure she sees in all her clients and turned the circumstances to my favor. My poor judgment led me to throw garbage out of my car window onto a freeway which could’ve caused major traffic or worse dangerous conditions for drivers besides myself.... The actions were caught by an officer which led to my court date. Ms. Perez’s professionalism and composure made me confident about my chances from the moment I discussed my case with her. She’s truly a representative for the people as she makes it clear to the courts that we are all human and make mistakes. She is honest about every step of the process with guidance and updates on any new information and with that said again through her genuine personality, kindness and professionalism she was able to have my case dismissed as if the event never happened. I am truly great full to have had her by my side that day and HIGHLY recommend Aileen Perez for anyone who needs representing in court. Thank you again so much for your time and efforts.

Unemployment Arbitration

I was referred to Aileen by a fiend at work. My wife's employer disputed unemployment claim after she was discharged from her job for unfair reasons. Aileen met with to review our situation , helped us sort out all the details and coached her through the phone interview. I was so pleased to find she ...had extensive experience with this kind of work! Even though the circumstances of my wife's discharge was so fabricated by her employer I had heard they never back down- big corporation with a lot of money to handle these kind of disputes. We spent almost an hour and at the end we felt positive but still not sure how it would go. The next day we were so happy to find we won our case and the money was deposited in her account! I'm really impressed with Aileen- she speaks both Spanish and English and that was a requirement for us; she is very quick to get up to speed on these situations and professional and great personality- She handles all other kinds of Leah's matter so I will be going to her again to next time I need an attorney!

An experienced and compassionate attorney

My experience with Ms. Perez has been very positive from the first moment I contacted her. Ms. Perez is a very thorough and competent professional who always had my best interests in mind. I was always informed by Ms. Perez and I always felt like I was in very good hands. She was always promptly at... scheduled meetings and she always took my calls. What I especially liked about Ms. Perez is her ability to remain calm in crisis situations. Ms. Perez is representing me in a foreclosure situation and her expertise has helped me manage a very difficult situation as her knowledge in this area is excellent. I am grateful for her service. She is a solid lawyer who practices nothing but the best customer service methods. I would highly recommend Ms. Perez.
