Great Response
Although my case did not meet criteria for a claim at this time, Jeff went above and beyond in his efforts to reach out to me after my request. He thoroughly reviewed my case and provided me with useful information for moving forward.

I highly recommend!
I recently used Jeff DeFrancisco for a medical malpractice case that involved a medical procedure that I underwent. Jeff was always available to answer any questions that I had. Furthermore, he was able to get my case settled rather quickly and for a very fair resolution. I have already recommended him to others and I will continue to do so.

The Absolute Best
I contacted Mr. DeFrancisco to handle my personal injury matter because the lawyer that was handling my case wanted me to settle for very low compensation. After contacting Mr. DeFrancisco I met with him in person and he agreed to represent me. During the course of the case he was always very responsive to my phone calls and questions. My case ultimately got resolved to my high satisfaction. He did an excellent job for me and I would highly recommend him.

"As a result of medical errors, my spouse passed away. Needless to say this was a very significant loss for my young children and myself. I consulted with two attorneys, both of whom declined to take my case. I thereafter contacted Attorney Jeff DeFrancisco and within weeks a full workup of my case was completed and suit was filed. The insurance company refused to offer any compensation for my family's loss so we proceeded to trial. I was very impressed with Jeff DeFrancisco's preparation and representation at trial. After the 5th day of trial the insurance carrier settled my case through a confidential settlement. Mr. DeFrancisco went 'above and beyond' all my expectations. I would highly recommend Jeff DeFrancisco and I truly believe there is no better representation for personal injury matters." - S.M.

Highly Recommended
Jeff has represented both myself and one of my children for seperate personal injury matters. Jeff is very knowledgeable about both the law and medicine. He is very sympathetic to the clients needs and their injuries. He fights extremely hard for his clients even after one my cases settled he helped me get the disability benefits I had been previously been denied free of charge. He has done an excellent job for myself and my family and I would highly recommend him!

Medical malpractice Attorney | Feb 09
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer and his firm. In a prior firm I defended a case where our client was a co-defendant, who was not responsible for the injury to Mr. DeFrancisco's client. We came to an accord after showing his firm that the use of the medical equipment, and not our device, were the cause of the injury. They were very open to EVIDENCE, unlike some firms, and their client benefitted from the cooperation. I refer cases to this firm and they are always handled without complaint and to great effect. If I had a relative who had a potential medical malpractice claim, this is the firm to whom i would refer them."
