Consult to Hire for a Personal injury

Mr. Sullivan was thorough in explaining the process of a personal injury suit. He was thorough in getting my reimbursement for recovery and therapy and continues to seek full compensation for my loss. His professionalism and deep knowledge of laws and process has made a painful situation bearable. Ha...ving full trust in his abilities has allowed me to focus on my recovery.

Amazing attorney

Joseph is amazing not only as a lawyer but as a person. He is professional and warm and he fights hard for his clients. He won my case with flying colors and he was my shoulder when I was down and out. My experience with Sullivan Brill was great. I have no complaints. Kudos and keep on doing wha...t you're doing. Amazing lawyers!!!!!

Professional went above and beyond

I hired this law firm for a personal liability case. Mr. Sullivan and Brittany went above and beyond to get me the compensation I deserved! They kept me informed in every step of the process and worked tirelessly to bring the case to a fruitful end. I would recommend Mr. Sullivan personally and his f...irm for any of your legal needs.
