Silver lining to my dark cloud!

Thanks so much Paul & Alexis! It's been a very long road and now I feel a weight is released from my feet so I can move forward in my life! I literally cried calling my husband, I cannot fully put into words what feeling, but simply I can let out a breathe I've been holding for 3years! I've a...ppreciated all the work you've done in my case, along with the point man himself Paul! Even through my rants and sometimes more often times venting emails, I've never felt ignored or dismissed, but rather always a priority with your office. I felt ok to let my guard down knowing you guys had my back the whole time. I know I wouldn't have been able to get through this journey without the both of you by my side! You both have truly been a silver lining to this dark cloud I was under...and now it's all sunny days ahead! God bless you both!! Andrea

Amazing Lawyer, puts Client's interest first

I not only recommend attorney Paul Garfield, but I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. He responds in an extreme timely matter, he is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you as Paul Garfield did for me. I used Pa...ul for personal injury case; he was very dedicated and thorough. I came to his office somewhat apprehensive of lawyers. I left his office knowing he would put my interest first. He guided me through the entire process, he made sure he stayed in contact with me and answered all my questions and he was very attentive to my concerns. Because of his determination my personal injury case was a success. He is a wonderful and amazing attorney I could not have been happier with the professionalism of him and his staff. Once again Thank You Paul Garfield.

Best Lawyer Ever!

I obtained Paul for a car accident I was in where I was rear ended by another vehicle, who admitted it was his fault. I suffer long term injuries but still had to pass NJ Tort Reform in order to be compensated if there was no settlement. Well the defendant said nope we not giving her one dime. I was ...distraught. How can this be happening? Paul worked diligently on my case. Kept me abreast every step of the way. Let me tell you he and his staff a not just lawyers but legal experts. The case went to trial. Yup defense counsel was riding this out. I was terrified, my life was upside down from the stress. Paul had every report, had EVERY Dr testify and I mean in detail. His cross examing techniques had me on the edge of my sent and I was the plaintiff! Everyday I was contacted, given personal ways to contact for any questions day or night. The trial was so awesome that every 2 minutes the defense counsel would side bar with the judge. Response who be overruled and had lawyer was allowed to continue. Paul is great and I even referred someone to his office during my entire ordeal. He is confident in what he does! Well at the end of the trial the defense attorney thought he had this case in the bag. I remember Paul telling me we at zero we can only go up from here. Jury in your opinion has Ms. Daniel met NJ Tort Reform? This was the ultimate and hardest about my trial. If no the this case was over! Their answer YESSSS! I cried so hard. There were 8 jurors but only 6 were apart of the process and I needed FIVE to agree. The chips were against me but Paul made sure his case, reports, cross exam and FACTS WITH EVIDENCE AND MEDICAL FINDINGS were strong and never stood down. He was a David, fighting Goliath and we know Goliath came down! Im grateful to have obtained him and adhered to his counsel. I would use Paul again for anything legal in the future. Best lawyer ever!

Paul was always forthright and honest about, not only, the case in general, but also his opinions and thoughts. It was refreshing to discuss the matter together as a whole and not individually and being told "WHAT I SHOULD DO." Paul respected my decisions. I thoroughly felt comfortable and informed. ...I truly appreciated being an "active and involved" part of my case. It was more of what was best for me as individual both personally and monetarily. The entire staff at Davis and Saperstein & Solomon are personable and delightful to speak with. Thank you, TTB

I'm incredibly grateful for having found the most sincere & compassionate attorney for my complex personal injury experience.

Right from the start, Paul was there for me. I will never forget calling him from the subacute care facility, crying on the phone in pain. Over a long 3 year journey, Paul assured me every step of the way, how the case would proceed. He calmed my nerves before every "appearance" and made me feel s...upported by way of his compassion, sincerity, and general warmth. First, there's "just something about Paul". Second, he is experienced / seasoned. Third, he set his intention on settling out of court, and made it happen. Last but not least, he shared an experience close to his heart, to inspire me to have hope to discover once again, a pain free life. I've not reached "pain free" yet, but I do have hope and faith that I, like many others, I too can conquer and overcome. For me, the positive experience & memories that I will always have of working with Paul, is not centered on financial outcome. It is centered on gratitude that I feel for working with a kind hearted man who genuinely cares about his clients and wants a fair outcome for them, due to his concerns about their futures, living with injuries, post-trauma. My once negative opinion about attorneys in general, has been transformed. Thank you Paul. I'll be sending gratitude for a lifetime. :)
