An Excellent Team! An Excellent Lawyer!

I was looking for a lawyer to handle my car accident in the Bronx, New York. My car was hit from behind as I was driving to work in Valhalla. I found Bill on the internet and gave his office a try. They were very helpful and patient. I needed a doctor and it turned out that I needed a physical th...erapist. Bill helped me understand the process: no fault; doctor bills; IMEs; lost wages; physical injuries. I trusted them. They pushed hard to get a good settlement. And I would use them again and recommend to friends and family.

Bill, Thanks for Representing Me!

I want to thank you, Bill, for representing me during my slip and fall case. Throughout each phase of my case, you guidance, patience and understanding confirmed my high regard for you as a person and professional. Having your representation brought a tremendous feeling of peace of mind for my fami...ly and me. The satisfactory conclusion proves that I made the right decision in having you as my attorney. Additionally, you have always been professional and helpful when I sought your advice or assistance. You always treated me with respect when giving me the full benefit of your knowledge and experience, thereby demonstrating your high level of integrity. I have already recommended members of my family, friends and acquaintances to you. Again, thanks for all you have done.

Great Work on My Mother's Injury Case

William Martin represented my mother in a personal injury case. A car turned the corner and struck my mother as she was walking across the street. Bill made the experience as easy as possible. They had great advice on how to proceed and made things much easier for my mother. They kept communicating... with us throughout our case. If I had any questions they were very easy to get a hold of and help me out. I was very happy with the outcome. A Big 'Thank you' to Bill Martin and his team.

I Have Trusted Him With My Life. I recommend Mr. Martin.

I have known Bill Martin for more than five years. I trusted him with my life. It was a very hard battle dealing with my matrimonial case, and although the matrimonial case was my first case, Bill has since represented me in a personal injury case, a landlord-tenant case and a breach of contract ca...se involving my business. The honest truth I can tell anybody is that Bill Martin is not just an attorney; he is a friend to his clients. You can trust him and believe in him. He's not just out for the money; he wants to make a positive difference in his clients' lives. After being represented by Mr. Martin on different types of cases over the past five years, I would recommend his services. One reason why I recommend Mr. Martin is because I have experienced devastating loss, but we persevered until we won the case.

Very Pleased with Mr. Martin

I am very pleased with the service and outcome of my personal injury case. Mr. Martin and his associates were very professional and in the same manner very compassionate, helpful and understanding. On many occasions, they exceeded my expectations. I was well informed and properly advised every ste...p of the way and I was very happy to have the matter settled to my satisfaction in a reasonable amount of time.
