Maximum Reward

Posted by

Roman helped me with a car injury litigation as a pedestrian, yielding the maximum possible reward. My first experience of this nature. He hand-hold me through the process, with a high level of professionalism, attention to details, while setting my expectations. This was a challenging case, due to amount of time have elapsed since incident, and challenges to demonstrate injury correlation. Despite these obstacles, Roman took the case with confidence, and successfully resolved it with the maximum possible outcome for the insurance policy. I hope to never require personal injury legal service again. But if any of my friends and family members requires it, I would not hesitate to refer them to Roman's capable hands. Thank you Roman.

Construction Accident

Posted by

I hired Mr. Shakh for a case where I was injured in a work-related accident at an active construction site. I was doing an inspection for my employer of a project being managed by a private contractor. Due to multiple OSHA violations I fell down and was injured. Many lawyers rejected my case. I was referred to Mr. Shakh. He took on my case. After approximately 2 years, during which the general contractor and the subcontractor denied the accident occurred, the insurance company made no offers to settle the case. This did not phase Mr. Shakh. From day one he told me that he is handling the case as if it will go to trial and we have to be ready to allow the jury make the decision. I knew that with Mr. Shakh I will not be victimized all over again by the insurance lawyers. He kept me apprised of all developments and helped me to make some of the very difficult decisions. Until the time of trial the insurance company did not offer any settlement. However, after the second day of trial the settlement offers poured in. Ultimately, the insurance companies for both contractors offer six times what the initial offer was immediately prior to beginning of trial. I was very satisfied. Litigation is a grueling process. You should have someone by your side whom you trust and who will thrust forward on your behalf, when you no want and can. I was very happy with the outcome of this case. It would not have been the same if I did not have Mr. Shakh in my corner. Thank you, Roman.

Car Accident

Posted by

I was referred to Roman by a family friend and from our initial meeting, he was professional and walked me through all the process. He gave a timeline of how long a settlement would take and was spot on. He was always just a text message or call away and always responded quickly whenever I had a question. While we didn't think the case would go to trial initially, when the time came he walked me through what to expect the day of which would put me at ease. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of the case and his work !!

Five Star-Rock Star

Posted by

Roman is beyond amazing, there are not enough adjectives to describe him, intelligent, personable, professional, caring, etc. When I first met Roman I felt like I have known him forever, he explained everything that was going to happen in depth, and at the first meeting told me what he thought my case was worth and got me exactly that amount. He is always available to speak with you, I sent him a text on a Friday nothing urgent, he told me he was in court but would call me later, it could have waited until Monday, but he did call me that night. He is incredibly smart, and thoughtful. I would recommend him to anyone that needs one of the best attorneys around.

Roman J. Shakh walked me through all the potential issues and outcomes. His patience and professionalism was welcoming and reassuring. I will always be thankful to Roman J. Shakh and what he did for my family and me. My experience with Roman J. Shakh was nothing less than excellent, as he is caring, ethical, innovative, and brilliant. I had never needed a lawyer before so the whole process was new to me and my family. When we did have questions, his responses were always very thoughtful and thorough. Ours was an extremely complicated case that other lawyers may have steered away from, but Roman J. Shakh seemed to embrace the challenge. He was able to sort out every roadblock that came up in this case successfully and I don’t think most attorneys would have the experience, ability, or fight to do so. The outcome was even better than we had ever let ourselves hoped for. I cannot thank him or recommend him enough for his professionalism and care during this situation. If you need his type of assistance I recommend him without reservation.

Hiram Raldiris, Personal injury Attorney on Dec 13, 2018
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I have been up against Roman in a number of trials. He is the ultimate professional. He is both an aggressive advocate and a gentleman. He always knows his case and is very knowledgeable about the applicable law. He is at ease in the courtroom and interacts well with the jury. He is an expert cross examiner and has caused me to squirm during the cross examination of my client on multiple occasions. While I have the utmost respect for him, I would rather see him in the hallways of the Courthouse than sitting at opposing counsel table. He always makes my job harder. I endorse this lawyer.
