Personal Injury Lawyer Rockland County NY

Posted by

Dealing with insurance companies after an accident was harder than I thought. A friend suggested that I hire a personal injury lawyer in Rockland County NY. At first I was reluctant, but as I worked with my lawyer I really began to appreciate his invaluable service and counsel. I could not have done it without his help.

My personal injury attorney

I was very impressed with the personalized, helpful service from everyone at Rockland Injury Lawyers. My personal injury attorney, Jeffrey M. Adams treated me with respect and dignity. My case was handled in a very professional manner and I am satisfied with the outcome. With his help, I was able to obtain compensation from the other party.

One Heck of an Attorney!

I am very pleased with Attorney Adams. I highly recommend himif you are looking for a personal injury attorney. He is without a doubt the GO TO GUY. I do appreciate having him working on my case since he has been nothing but helpful and has a wonderful personality. Attorney Adams kept me informed all the way through my case. I am giving him an A+++. I can testify with certainty that the is sincere, caring, excellent and simply WANTS TO HELP, and genius at what he does and practices. Because of this, he really fights hard for his clients and without doubts makes sure that you get the maximum in your case. In my case, I we needed an expert car accident lawyer without it we would have failed miserably, glad we chose Attorney Adams. This staff at his office helped me to maximize the value of my case and I am beyond happy with the results. This is the dude you wanna hire if you got a SERIOUS personal injury case, simply said!

A great lawyer

Posted by

Jeff exemplifies the best in a trial lawyer; knowledge of the law, intense preparation and the skills to relate to juries. He is admired and respected by Judges. Always available to clients ( and fellow attorneys), Jeff is reliable, helpful and simply a great guy. I endorse him wholeheartedly.

Dedicated to your self interest not his!

Posted by

Personal Injury law suits can be a highly emotional protracted process adding to the physical pain of an already serious injury. You want an attorney that actually understands this, looks out for you, and doesn't treat you or your condition as another $$$ sign. Jeff will make recommendations and decisions based on your best interests not his. Don't hire an attorney looking out for him/her self and not you. As a retired law enforcement professional is was refreshing to know that attorneys like Jeff are actually out there and represent you as a person and not just another number. Jeff is an attorney I trust and the first person I call in any legal matter to get advice or recommendations...

Consummate Professional

Would I recommend, Jeff? I already have, and plan on doing so again and again. Jeff knows his business, and it is abundantly clear that he is working for you. A stand out value of his, is managing expectations. He won't promise anything he can't deliver on. As a client, I want real information and not fantasy talk of a windfall settlement. Because of this, you will never feel like he is SELLING you on his services. You are getting a top notch attorney, who will maximize your situation for the best results possible. Hire him.

Jeff Adams Review

Posted by

I was recently in a accident and needed help. I was recommended to Jeff by a family friend and when i met jeff i could tell he was gonna be able to help me. Jeff is an honest very educated lawyer who not only is your lawyer but also helps you as a friend would, I recommend Jeff to anyone who is in need of a good, hardworking and determined lawyer you will not regret it. He keeps you up to date on all the information regarding your case and does whats in your best interest.

Thank you Mr. Adams!

Mr. Adams represented me in an acrimonious case involving damages and injury. He was highly professional and represented me very well. The case entailed both court appearances and substantial negotiations among the parties' lawyers. Mr. Adams demonstrated himself to be highly experienced and proficient throughout the process, kept me apprised of everything going on, and ultimately resolved the case to my great satisfaction. Mr. Adams has also provided legal advice to members of family on numerous occasions, and has always been highly responsive and diligent in his guidance. If needed I would surely use him again.
