The real deal

I went to Davis, Saperstein & Salomon seeking advice after being involved in a car accident. I met with Attorneys Steven Benvenisti, Lisa Lehrer and their staff. They were friendly and professional. Attentive to all my questions and concerns. When the bills started coming in my Attorneys and his staf...f stepped in and did their job in representing me. They were very competent in dealing with the bills, doctors, and insurance companies in a timely manner so that I could get the treatment I needed. My case was settled, all medical bills taken care of, and I was compensated for my pain and suffering. They really did have my back. They went fought for what I deserved and won. I am so grateful. I highly recommend them to all my family, friends and anyone seeking actual help. ❤

Want the best attorney? call Steven

If you or someone you know need a personal injury attorney and is looking for outstanding, professional legal representation, I highly recommend Steven Benvenisti, Esq. He's a partner at Davis, Saperstein & Solomon PC. In Teaneck, NJ 201-907-5000. He practices in NJ and NY. He'll work incredibly hard... for you and get you what you deserve. His credentials include: 2010 – 2015 The National Trial Lawyers “Top 100 Trial Lawyers” 2010 – 2015 New Jersey “Super Lawyer” Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney In addition to these impressive professional accomplishments, he's the most humble humanitarian I've ever had the pleasure of getting to know. He was run down by a drunk driver while on spring break as a college student and suffered near death injuries. He miraculously and courageously overcame this horrific ordeal and wrote a heartfelt book about his experience, which I recommend reading Spring Break, a true story of hope and determination. I was in a life changing auto accident and was rear ended while at a stop light and sustained permanent spine injuries as well as PTSD. Its emotionally devastating to know you're living a lesser quality of life at an age when I should be enjoying life to it's fullest. He is an incredible attorney, who genuinely cared about my health and emotional state every step of the 3 year process, which in most cases such as mine could have taken much longer. He crossed every T and dotted every I. In preparation for my case, he continually focused on every detail so that not one stone was left unturned and was fully prepared to present the facts to the Judge and the opposing side insurance company. Because of his professional negotiating skills as well as his belief in justice, I was awarded a very generous compensation for my permanent injuries & pain and suffering. I'm extremely thankful for his undivided attention throughout my case and always easing anxieties, as this was an extremely difficult time in my life. His assistant and he worked so well together, someone was always available to speak with me every time I called. And If you Google his name you'll find why I think he's the most humble humanitarian I've ever had to pleasure of getting to know. Since his accident 30 years ago, he has dedicated himself to personal injury law as well as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to raise awareness about the devastating affects of driving while under the influence. His motivation is solely to raised as much money as he possible can. 100% of proceeds from his book and every speaking engagement go to this and other worthy non-profit and research organizations he supports. I admire his dedication to spreading his message and continuing to raise more money year over year. He truly believes that life is not what we receive but what we can give back. And I believe it would be a more peaceful world if there were more of that mind set. My case has ended now but throughout these few years we've built a friendship that'll last a lifetime. You never plan for an accident to occur, however, if you're in this dilemma you must seek the very best legal counsel to help throughout the process and that is Steven! He's a man with the highest integrity and he'll be ready to help you from the first phone call. You won't regret it! This message is my personal opinion that I wanted to share with the world.
