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 na...vigate 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, 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.

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
