Professionalism

I was in an Auto Accident in New Jersey that caused a back injury from the person who side swiped my car. I was referred to Davis, Saperstein & Solomon. After the Defendant settled his part of the claim for a minimal amount Paul proceeded to sue my Insurance carrier for the under insured & uninsure...d portion of my policy. Everyone involved with my case, Paul, Alexis and anyone I spoke to in the office was very courteous, responsive and professional. All of my questions and concerns were responded to in a very timely manner. There is no question that if I would ever again need a Law Firm to represent my case I would definitely only call this firm.

Exceptional Attorney

I want to thank Paul Garfield and Jerry Larkin of DAVIS, SAPERSTEIN & SALOMON. My mother fell two years ago and sustained a traumatic brain injury. In the two years since her fall, my mother can no longer walk or use her hands and relies solely on round the clock caregivers. Paul and Jerry were very ...knowledgeable and encouraging as they guided us through the entire process. They assured us that they would work extremely hard on my mother’s behalf, to get her the compensation she deserved. All they asked was that we be patient with the process. We adhered to their guidance and two years after her fall, we agreed to a large settlement. Thank you to everyone at DAVIS, SAPERSTEIN & SALOMON for all your hard work and dedication in getting my mother the compensation she deserves!

Great Job !!!

Thank you to Paul Garfield for professionally and efficiently executing my case. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Garfield skillfully negotiated settlement on my behalf. Mr. Garfield patiently answered all my question and provided clear information every step of the way. I truly appreciated his... strong advocacy, availability, timely responses, keeping me apprised of the status of my case and educating me at each juncture. He welcomed my participation and invited me into the process which I believe contributed to the satisfactory conclusion of my matter. I believe I was treated fairly and received just compensation for my injuries. Therefore, without reservation I would highly recommend the services of Mr. Paul Garfield to family and friends should they need legal assistance.

Professional and Competent

It is my distinct pleasure to write this review on Paul Garfield. Mr. Garfield represented me in a personal injury case in which I sustained a painful and chronic injury. Due to my injury, I had to undergo a procedure and physical therapy. Mr. Garfield remained in constant contact with me letting me ...know what was going on with my case throughout the entire process. As a result, he elevated my fears and concerns concerning my lawsuit and I was able to focus on getting and feeling better physically. For that, I will be forever grateful. Mr. Garfield's professionalism and legal acumen was unparalleled, as he is truly a gifted and talented attorney. My gratitude and worthy praise are not specifically because he won my case but because I appreciated his effort in defending me. It was his kindness and compassion that I feel went above and beyond any of my expectations and I would surely recommend him to any of my friends or family who found themselves in the unfortunate position of needing top-notch representation. Thank you again for great professional service.
