YOU'VE BEEN INJURED AND YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. SEGAR & SCIORTINO HAS THE ANSWERS. CALL US TODAY!

Since before starting my practice, service to the community has been very important to me. I have served on the stewardship council at St. Joseph’s Church in Penfield, New York, the Board of Directors of the Epilepsy Foundation and the Fairport Baptist Homes Caring Ministries.  I served as Chairperson of the Major Gifts Committee and as Chairperson of the Development Committee of the Epilepsy Foundation. I presently sit on the Board of Directors to the Anthony Poselovich Memorial Foundation, a memorial dedicated to helping families of young children diagnosed with cancer.

 I believe the power of God, in prayer and in action, can shape us to be better, stronger, more compassionate individuals; able to effect change where and when it is needed most.  I think there are times in everyone’s life when we need God’s help just to survive, but there are many more times when we can use God’s power to excel.  We often forget how accessible God’s help is.

 There have been a number of mentors who have influenced my life, but my father’s guiding hand helped me over numerous bumps in the road. He encouraged virtue and character development, and was unwavering in his support of my education.

Stephen a seager
Stephen seager took my injury and workers comp case. He was concise in explaining the details of the legal system. He walked me through my case. No one should try to navigate workers comp, or a personal injury case without representation. Mr seager is an outstanding lawyer, with an excellent assistant virginia is a gem. I would recommend him very highly, he can be trusted.

Best Decision Ever!
Stephen Segar is the real deal. Not only is he an excellent attorney with extensive knowledge & experience, but he’s also genuinely a good person. He did a fantastic job handling my personal injury case and I highly recommend him. Throughout the process he and his team proved to me that they truly have their client’s best interest in mind. Stephen’s evaluation, response, and explanation to every detail was reassuring, informative, and impressive.

I Highly Recommend Stephen Anderson Segar
Steve Segar and his entire firm did a tremendous job of handling my accident case. Not having any knowledge about the entire process after being severely injured and losing my hearing in my right ear in a car crash from an individual who rear ended me going over 45 mph due to him being on his cell phone. It still impacts me today as I continue to deal with the injury. But I needed assistance with the medical bills and loss of work that came with my accident. Steve and his firm understood that my injury has impacted my life and my day to day activity and that I had to make sure that we were able to get some relief for the entire dilemma that fell upon me and my family as a result of this individual. Over the course of the last several years Steve and his firm had constant communication with me, genuine concern for my health, and continuously making sure that I had the proper medical treatment throughout this time. They stood by my side and still continue to as I continue to learn the road that I have been down and continue to go down due to an injury that I did not give to myself but a careless driver did to me. Steve and his Firm are extremely knowledgeable and get out in front at every point to protect and take care of my well being and I appreciated that so much as I ventured down this path. I highly recommend Steve Segar and his firm to be there for you every step of the way, as he was for me and continues to be.

Professional and caring
Steve and his office took the time to explain and answer all my questions in a timely and caring way. I always knew what to expect and what was happening with my case. All my call were answered within 24 hours if not sooner. The outcome of my case was better than I anticipated. All in all everyone from Steve to his staff were wonderful.

Someone (and an entire firm) who will listen, guide, and fight for your best outcome!
In February of 2018 I woke up in the ER with people cutting my clothes off...and so began a very long journey of recovery. Unfortunately, I will never be the same as I was before that day in February. Fortunately, I had Stephen Segar and all the folks at the firm of Segar and Sciortino to help navigate all the legal aspects of my recovery. Stephen and the entire firm clearly care about their client's recovery and well-being. Whenever I had a question about the case or an issue with an insurance company or provider, they were right there with advice and, when necessary, took the issue on themselves so I did not have to take my focus off my recovery. Stephen was always willing to take as much time as my wife and I needed to explain what was going on with the case and wanted first and foremost to ensure I had whatever resources were needed to maximize my recovery. When it became clear to all of us that my recovery had gone as far as it could, Stephen used that information to gain the best possible settlement for us. I have recommended Steve to several friends since my accident and since the settlement. I would not hesitate to recommend Segar and Sciortino to anyone who needs steady and strong hands to guide them through the legal process during what is often a difficult and confusing recovery process. It took several operations and several years of physical, mental, and vision therapy to get to where I am today. Stephen and his firm protected our legal interests the entire time and reached a just settlement for us when it became clear my recovery had reached its limit...no one can ask for better than that!

Workers compensation
Mr. Segar is the realist lawyer I’ve ever met. He treats you like family, will truthfully tell you how it’s going to work out. Very professional down to earth person. Would recommend him to anyone, as I did, for my brother who did not want to see a lawyer….

Diligent, Trusting, and Knowledgeable
Steve Segar was hired for a personal MVA lawsuit. He was very conscientious of my case, communicated well, and the team was very pleasant. I was able to develop a trusting relationship with Steve and learned a lot during this process as well. The team worked very hard behind the scenes to secure a large settlement regarding my personal injury. It was a pleasure to work directly with Steve on this and greatly appreciated!

Workers compensation, Personal injury
Without the help of the Stephen Anderson Segar, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Mr. Segar took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. He worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. He has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though we faced challenges, Mr. Segar did not falter. His thorough research provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I will only recommend Mr Segar as I have never been nor have I ever seen anyone treated better. I am proud to be a client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters in regards to personal injury and workers compensation that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

Very responsive and professional
I was in a car accident and was told by a family member to contact Mr Segar about my personal injury claim. From day one he came out to our house to speak with my family and I. He was very responsive throughout the settlement process and I could contact him any day of the week, day or night. Highly recommend!

An outstanding attorney firm
I hired Steve for a work related accident. I could have never gotten through the complicated paperwork without Steve and his team. He gave me the confidence that everything would work out and he handled every issue that arose. I would highly recommend his firm for a workmen’s comp incident.

Car Accident
On March 13, 2019, my family and I were in a car accident. Another vehicle ran a red light. I sustained a broken arm and ankle. We called Steve Segar's office a few days later. He came to my home and sat with my wife and I at our dinner table. He explained the entire process that we were going to go through medically and legally. From day one, we were very comfortable with his personal support and advice. He was very understanding of any concerns we had and eased them all. In the end, we received the settlement he expected. The important thing to note is how well he treated us, the care and concern he showed about our health and wellbeing throughout the entire process. He is an excellent lawyer because he is a caring and compassionate person.

Professional, Honest, Loyal and Dedicated
While working as a Police Officer in 2012 I was injured requiring several surgeries ending my career. Steve helped me every step of the way while fighting with insurance carriers to be treated and compensated fairly. During the course of 6 long yrs his commitment to prevail was second to none. His staff, specifically Virginia was incredibly helpful keeping me updated and returned all my calls promptly. Thank you Steve, Virginia and Mark for what you did for my family. I will and have highly recommended Team Segar.

Amazing
I contacted the firm to see if I had a case. Stephen actually came out to my house; discussed my case; and accepted me as a client. He clearly explained the steps which would be taken moving forward with my accident case. He is thoughtful, honest, hard working, and a classy down-to-earth man. I was very pleased with his staff. All my questions were always answered in a timely manner. Stephen and his staff always kept me up-to-date on how my case was proceeding. You will not be disappointed using this man as your lawyer...I promise!
