Outstanding, Comprehensive Attorney's

I cannot believe I am taking the time to write something positive about lawyers. Yet, it is deserved. While riding a my bike in a bike lane in lower Manhattan, I was struck by a car that ran a red light. As result of that I needed help from a dentist and plastic surgeon to fix the damage to my... face. I called a Corporate Lawyer friend of mine and without hesitation he recommended Hugo Ortega from the law firm "Tanner & Ortega in lower Manhattan. Told me "this guy NEVER never loses a case." After meeting Mr. Ortega and his partner I was confident and impressed with his intellectual honesty in connection with insurance and personal injury law. Both he and Mr. Tanner outlined a game plan and kept me in the loop throughout the processes. Mr. Ortega was a team player; professional, prompt, honest and was explicit and detail oriented. His acumen in connection with liability and insurance company issues was a clinic for me. We built on a relationship because a.) he knew how wronged I wast and b.) I trusted and admired how hard he worked and would fight for me. His experience and tenacity provided me with a considerable pay out. Medical bills, attorney's consignment fees, I was shocked when I was compensated with unexpected funds for pain and suffrage. I would highly recommend Mr. Ortega and Tanner for anyone involved in personal injury issues. I was proud to be associated with them.

Mr. Ortega was with me every step of the way throughout my case, made sure I thoroughly understood, and made himself entirely available to me during my time of need. I highly recommend consulting with Mr. Ortega for any injury related cases, as he is extremely reliable and will put forth tremendous ...effort for what's right.

Great Recommendation

Back when I had an accident, my friend immediately recommended I call Mr Ortega. Having a personal recommendation made me feel good and boy was my friend right. Mr Ortega fought for me all the way and managed to settle my case in way I could not have imagined. Mr Ortega will now be the first law...yer I will call when I need one and I will gladly recommend him to anyone.

Great Lawyer!

Hugo Ortega represented me in a car accident case. Hugo was so nice and compassionate during the horrible ordeal of dealing with insurance companies and lawyers. His attention to all the details was evident from the beginning of the case. He kept me informed every step of the way and explained all th...e details and options. He always returned my phone calls and answered any questions. My case was settled much faster than anticipated and it was due to Hugo's skill and reputation as an attorney! I would highly recommend Hugo and plan to use him for any legal needs in my future.

a keeper

I was looking for a good lawyer since I got myself into some trouble (would rather not say). I needed a lawyer who would hear me out and really take the time to know my situation. When I finally found Mr Ortega he was definately what I hoped for. He took the time to listen to my situation and give ...me informative feedback and options. When working with Mr Ortega through my court dates and appearances he always made me feel like I was his main priority never pushed aside for another case. Finally at the end of it all, I was very happy with the outcome and the work Mr Ortega did for me. If I ever find myself in a bad situation again, he definitely will be my first call. I highly recommend him!
