The Best Person to Grace My Life ( Besides My Immediate Family, and My Fiance )

The reason I said Person is because Camilla is More than a Attorney. My history with Attorneys has been a Nightmare. When you think of an attorney you think "shady" "non Trustworthy" "not willing to fight for you", and the list goes on (Believe me with my previous lawyers, I could go on). Camilla i...s None of the Above! Camila is the "Kobe Bryant" aka. "Black Mamba" of Workers Comp Attorneys. She's a Magician with a Killer Instinct. Here's a brief Overview of my Case, and what Camilla accomplished for Me. After being Hurt for 4 yrs, and having a failed surgery on my back I thought I ran out of Treatment Options. So I turned to alternative treatments to try and help the pain. If you don't know it is almost impossible to get your workers comp Insurance company to pay for alternative treatments, and paying out of pocket is impossible. So sitting around in pain all day I decided to do some research to figure out my options. Long story short I figured out a way that I may be able to receive treatment for my Pain, that would be beneficial for me and my workers comp Insurance carrier. I went to my Lawyer at the time and he rejected my research, told me it's impossible, and basically told me that He wouldn't even try, and to just accept my Condition. After Speaking with numerous Attorney's with no Luck, I stumbled upon Avvo, and Camilla's Profile. Reading her Comments I thought i would give her a call and let her know about my Situation. At this point I was end of my rope and just looking for someone to Try for me. I needed Someone that believed in what I was trying to achieve and someone that would Fight for Me and My Injury. After Speaking with Camila and Explaining my Case, she told me that although My request to the Insurance Carrier was a little "Out of Box" we could work out a plan and present it to the Insurance Company. She informed me that it would be an "Uphill Battle" and that they may reject the request, but she would try because she loves taking on Challenges. I'm of the same mind frame "the Greater the Challenge the Greater the Reward". I'm so Happy Camilla took on My Case, because the Insurance Company Agreed to our Request. Not only did they Agree, but Camilla managed to get me the Most Compensation possible, almost Triple the amount my previous lawyer would have gotten. Now I'll have enough money to cover alternative treatments going forward. Camilla is not an attorney. She is "THE ATTORNEY". She will Fight for You Tooth and Nail, and to Me that's the Most Important attribute an Attorney should possess.

Paul, thank you so much for the kind words. You were a reasonable client as well and I could sense the frustration when you reached out to me. I am so glad that we were able to DOUBLE the amount of money you were able to get for this case. It was truly a great success and I was happy you gave me the opportunity to make that happen. Thank you for your trust!

best workman's comp lawyer in long island and in all of new york

It is a blessing that I found this young lady. She is the best worker's comp lawyer on long island and in all new york for sure. I was representing myself in my comp case because I didn't know it didn't cost me anything to hire a lawyer and in my life all I ever had with lawyers was bad experiences.... Besides, whenever I went to the board all I saw were unhappy people who hated their lawyers. One day I was trying to figure out what the next step in my case should be and I googled some stuff and came across a site that asked me to fill out some information to get my answer related to medical treatment. I filled out the information and next thing I know Ms. Camilia calls me and emails me. I didn't get back to her right away because I thought it was weird and I wasn't really sure I wanted a lawyer's help, but she offered no obligation conversation and I had questions so I called her back, and that was the best decision I ever made. She was helpful, she was sweet and understanding, and she has helped me get the treatment I needed and soon I will be getting money I didn't even know I could get. I was blown away by her kindness and courtesy and humanity. She is compassionate, caring, kind, quickly to answer back, and don't be fooled by her youth - she gets me more than any of my friend's lawyers who are older and don't care about their case because they are just another of many. She has a small firm and every case is very important for her. I feel like I am a priority to her and I like that. I am very happy I called her back and I can't wait to get my money and move on with my life. She is the best injury lawyer.

Best Lawyer in Long Island, Best Lawyer in New York, Best Lawyer in the World!

Where can I start? She is amazing. Her brain is like a pandora box of knowledge. She can predict every step of the case ages before you come to cross that path, and she knows exactly what you should do each time. She will get you the most money possible with the least amount of troublesome fightin...g. She is also as sweet as can be, such a good heart. One of the most compassionate and caring people I ever came across. But she is not a phone person. If you need her, text her or email her, don't call her. She is great in person, but due to a disability she can't use the phone for talking. Just for texting.

Best Comp Lawyer in New York

Camila is simply the best comp lawyer in NY. She is knowledgeable and explains things well. She is a sweetheart to the client and a shark to the insurance company and their lawyers. She is a rare combination of all that is good not just in a lawyer but in a person. Always gets back to you, always... is courteous, gives you realistic expectations, tells you every step what is gonna happen. I was extremely happy with my doctor's referral of her. She was the best thing that happened to me after my work injury.
