Injury Case

I hired Frekhtman and Associatesat in September 2023 to handle my injury case. I promptly provided all the necessary documents and photographs they requested. Initially, everything seemed to be progressing well, and they took on my case without hesitation. However, my experience quickly deteriorated.... Over the course of 9 months, I was assigned to three different case managers, each of whom assured me that the only remaining step before filing a lawsuit was obtaining my medical records. Despite these assurances, there was a severe lack of communication and transparency throughout the process. Additionally, the experts they used did not physically inspect the defect in the concrete that was central to my case. This oversight raised serious concerns about the thoroughness and dedication to my case. Without any prior warning or explanation, I received a certified letter from the attorney informing me that they were dropping my case. This came as a complete shock, as I had been led to believe that the case was progressing smoothly. The case managers were not upfront about the true position of the attorney and the status of my case. I felt misled and uninformed for the entire 9 months. This lack of honesty and professionalism is unacceptable, especially when dealing with such important matters. I am extremely disappointed with the way my case was handled by Frekhtman and Associates. I would not recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable and transparent legal representation.

Very friendly and knowledgeable

Very satisfied how they handled my construction accident case. They first met with me and took down all information. Next they were easy to reach and very friendly. Then they prepared me fully for all the hearings and court dates. The firm sent me to the right doctors and hired experts to build up my... case to the max. Finally after about a year and a half, they scheduled a mediation and tried to settle the case. The trial lawyer, the judge, and even the other side were all very professional. You could tell the insurance company, defense lawyer, and the judge respected my lawyer. The end result was a settlement of almost $3,000,000. I was told by many people that is an amazing result for my case given how the incident happened and my injuries. If you need a construction accident lawyer, give these guys a call.

Highly Professional

I am very satisfied with the legal help that I received from Frekhtman & Associates for my construction accident. Lawyers of the firm were highly professional and developed a plan of action only after analyzing my case thoroughly. They moved my case quickly and answered all my questions that I had th...roughout the case. Happy with their efforts and outcomes of my case!

Very friendly and helpful to clients yet aggressive with the insurance companies

I hired this firm when I was injured as a passenger in a car that got hit in the rear by a big truck. They helped me in all respects. They kept in touch, sent me to good quality doctors that allowed me to receive medical treatment for my injuries which included a serious fracture. They promptly filed... a lawsuit and moved the case along in court. Whenever I called they either responded to my question or called me back. They are available via email, phone, in person appointments, cell phone, and even via SMS text messaging in emergencies. After my deposition, they scheduled a conference called a mediation with the other side and a judge. Weeks before this meeting they met with me to prepare and then showed me an excellent package of materials submitted to the judge. At the meeting, they informed me of all offers and told me whether or not I should accept or wait because they thought they could get more. It was a long process that took the entire day but in the end they won an amazing amount which was far more than i expected. Excellent professional, hard working and friendly small firm that specializes in handling serious injury matters !!!

Dragging case with little communication

I read all the good reviews so I went with arkadys firm to represent me after I was injured with some irreparable damage to my body . So far it has been over 3 years and I only hear from the team when I call the office . Another words I feel that I am bothering them by trying to get an update and the...y say one more year. Next time I would like to work with an attorney that sends me a letter or phone call at least once a year to give me news.
