Best Workers' Compensation Attorney in New York! Just Great!

I don't have enough good words to describe Camilla. She is INCREDIBLY RESPONSIVE. She is always reachable by text and email (I never had an Attorney who was so easy to get in touch with before), and she had this amazing ability to calm me down whenever I freaked out. She is also very well connecte...d and loved by everyone, so it makes the case go smoother. She is able to obtain authorizations from the insurance quickly, get higher settlements ( I had another attorney that I fired and then hired her and the settlement she got me was almost double what he was trying to get me to accept), and always sends the right Hearing Attorneys (who are only available for of counsel work so you can't actually hire them yourself) to the right Judges. So she is VERY smart and knows how to play her cards well. She does not usually attend hearings, at least in my case that was the case. BUT, although I was very worried about that, she does that strategically so she can be behind the preparation for each hearing, knowing every file back to back and giving the right orders to the Hearings Attorneys. That means, if you hire her, you will get the best possible representation no matter who attends your hearings because your treatments will be authorized, your medical bills will be paid, and your settlement will be the highest amount possible in this industry because all of that work - the real work - is done by her and only her. And she always answers all your questions quickly with kindness, understanding, empathy and a beautiful smile. I told her she was my savior in this tough time in my life, and promised my review would be the best she ever had because she deserved it. I hope it was! THANK YOU CAMILLA! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

My Lawyer Guardian Angel!

Camila Medici is an absolute gift from above - she took on my case with less than 2 weeks' notice and saved me from certain disaster as I had no idea what I was doing with a workers comp hearing I got summoned to with only 3 weeks notice. She is one of the most intelligent, hardworking, detail orien...ted, efficient, capable professionals I have even come in contact with. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She anticipated what I needed based on really truly LISTENING and retaining what we talked about, which is so rare. She remembered small details we had discussed, and guided me through a mysterious and complicated process based on tailoring what we did to the goals I had stated. She also alleviated a massive amount of anxiety by, again, truly listening to and remembering what we talked about and using that knowledge to continually answer my questions in a very helpful way.

The Best Attorney In The World.

Although I put her in a difficult situation to start our case, she came through like a champion. She doesn't know how much she helped me and my family by moving my case in the right direction. Without her dedication and hard work my family and I would be in dire straights had her not commited hersel...f the way she did. She said that she is fairly new in the business and that's hard for me to believe. She is on top of everything that I have asked her to be on top of. Every voicemail I leave gets answered and explained to me in a way that I can understand it. She is such a nice person to deal with that blows me away. I am so happy that she ended up as my attorney. I don't think things would have turned out as good as they have without her. Once again my family and I thank her from the bottom of our hearts, she saved us. All I know is that if anyone needs an attorney that I know I will strongly recommend her. Camila is like no one else you ever met. She is knowledgeable, patient, thorough, kind, sweet, warm, and understands people in a profound, almost like spiritual way. During my hearings I would sit there and look at other injured people waiting to be called by their Attorneys, most who never even met them and didn't know anything about their file. Then I'd see Camila, smiling coming my way, asking me details that reminded me how well she knew everything. And if she could not make the hearing she still did the file preparation, which is so important. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. She is the best in every way.
