Outstanding attorney, paralegal and firm

I am beyond thrilled with Paul Garfield's professional services, attentiveness and deep concern for my welfare. Beyond the business sense, both Paul and his paralegal, Alexis, bring compassion to the matter at hand. My case was difficult and highly emotional. I felt as if my case was the only case. M...y calls were always answered and my concerns were their concerns. I encourage you to trust in and contact Paul and his firm with your legal representation. Thank you so very much again.

Thanks to Paul Garfield and Alexis Chalmers

Mr. Garfield and Ms. Chalmers represented me in a motor vehicle accident that caused severe injury to me resulting in spinal surgery. Both were extremely professional, helpful, caring and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

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. :)

Superman saves the day

Mr Garfield worked very diligently on my case. He was honest,open ,and compassionate about what I wanted and what he would be able to do with my case. I was in the middle of an accident suite , when all of a sudden the doctor office closed !!!!( one week it was up and running and the next it was em...pty .no contact number nothing) and the lawyer stop calling me and answering my calls.!!! I had bill collectors after me, it was horrible !!This had been going on for over a year!!! I called Mr Garfield and in less than six month he found that crook of a lawyer and doctor . He was able to get the medical bills paid , the collectors off my but , and a settlement. Even though I was told by other firms that there was nothing that they could do on this case . It is not just about getting the job done.It is a job WELL! done that makes a difference .You ROCK !!!!!!!! This is the type of service you do not see often today.

Thank you for your help Paul and Sandra!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul was very thorough with my case and in his representation on my behalf. I felt he was on top of my case from day one. He kept me informed through the whole process. Paul always made me feel like I was the only person he represented and even though I am sure he had a full case load, that made m...e feel like I was in good hands. He listened, discussed and consulted me on all of my questions and concerns. From the beginning I believed everything would work out fine. I know he was my lawyer, but he felt more like a friend. His assistant Sandra was also extremely helpful during the process. When Paul was unavailable she would always find a way to obtain the answers to my questions if she did not already know them. She also kept me up to date about the case through various phone calls. She was very professional, polite, friendly at all times we interacted.
