Absolutely the BEST

We have used Stephen as our attorney since 2008 for a workers compensation accident. Since then I have had multiple reasons to continue his services. He went above and beyond to explain everything to my wife and I and always got back to us promptly (even at times later in the evening and weekends). ...He always made us feel comfortable and he was very knowledgeable with the Workers Comp system. The staff that works for him in particular Virginia, are also top notch. Through the years we not only consider him an excellent attorney but also a friend.

Peace of mind!

I was injured while working by a motor vehicle. I was looking for a workman’s comp lawyer that also was a personal injury lawyer. I called and met with a few lawyers about my case before I hired Stephen Segar. What I liked about Segar was that he was not pushy like the others and took his time with m...e to find our more than just the case facts. Segar fully explained the process of both my cases to me and always was answering my questions which was nice since I had a ton of questions. This was my first experience in hiring a lawyer and I could not have made a better choice than with Stephen Segar. When you see his ad on tv, the thing that stands out and us so true...peace of mind! Segar took care of my legal issues with a personal lawsuit and a workman’s comp case. I made the right choice going with Stephen Segar and I am sure you will to. Segar is always there for me and that means more than anything else.

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!

Didn't know what to expect

Unfortunately I was injured at work during a routine work day. Next came the accident reports and initial medical examinations which revealed an injury, prescribed treatment, and time off from work. I felt that I should consult legal advise. Having had minimal involvement with the legal system a...nd a cloudy recollection of a few bad lawyer jokes I was at a loss when I started looking for a lawyer. As it happened, a friend of mine has a son that is a partner in a local law firm. Asking him for a recommendation, he told us his best choice would be Stephan Segar of Segar & Sciortino. Right he was! At our initial meeting he was affable yet professional. He treated my situation as a serious matter and after some consultation with me I felt comfortable enough to go forward. Mr. Segar very capably handled my Workmans Comp. case and felt there were sufficient grounds to file a third party law suit, and in addition a case for S.S. disability. It did take some time, however Mr Segar was correct on all accounts and positive conclusions were attained in each of the three areas. Throughout the process Mr. Segar and the firm staff treated me with respect, friendliness, and reassurance. I had to do very little and was assured Mr. Segar’s fees would be recovered only in the event of a successful outcome, which was so. I would heartily recommend Segar & Sciortino as a successful law firm of Integrity and solid resource should the need for their services be required.

If you want the BEST

At the law firm of Segar and Sciortino my husband and I have had the privilege of hiring and working with both Mr. Sciortino and with Mr. Segar as well as their amazing team of professionals. Mr. Segar recently did a great job of unraveling a sea of injury claims and paper work that went back many ye...ars. Mr. Segar is a professional with a heart. It was a very interesting and educational journey that we took with him over a workers comp case for a three year period. We will always call the office of Mr. Segar and we only recommend him and his team to our family and friends. In our opinion they are the very BEST!
