Trustworthy and Caring
When we wanted to create wills after our first child was born, we immediately sought the help of John Giuffré and his team (even though this is not his primary area of practice - he was highly recommended to us by family members and friends).

Tough advocate but compassionate attorney
Mr. Giuffre was a pleasure to have on my side. He made sure that all of my medicals bills were covered. John made sure that my voice was heard and even took my case to court. I feel that he and his team worked very diligently on my case during the past 2 years.

Replied last March 26, 2020John was and continues to be a pleasure to work with. We are now on the second generation of clients as many of our clients have children and grandchildren who we are privileged to represent.

Best of the Best
John and his staff are the best legal team that I know. My case went from the other side wanting to dismiss to me getting the highest settlement allowed. John and staff updated me every step of the 3 1/2 year journey toward settlement. Every document was explained; I was accompanied by John for ev...

Replied last March 26, 2020Lucy, thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure working with you. All of our reviewers have given us 5 stars. I would add that each of you were 5-star clients: you were responsive, willing to take your lawyer's advice, and patient with a process that often takes years to get fully compensated for serious injuries. It is a privilege to be the voice of the injured.
