Stephen Segar

I was involved in car accident that left me injured & unsure of what legal actions needed to be taken next. I was then recommended to Stephen Segar, and there is nothing but positives to say about him and Virginia Jonas. From day one their team was very caring and knowledge on the situation and took ...my worries away from the very first meeting! Their legal representation allowed me time to heal from injuries without having to worry about the legal side of things & I really appreciated that. They always kept me informed on the things that were going on with the case and if I ever had any questions they were answered with a simple phone call or e-mail. I would recommend Stephen Segar and Virginia Jonas to anyone with an injury that needs legal representation

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 p...hone. 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.

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!

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.

Appreciative client

I hired Steve to help me with my accident case. He didn’t just care, but he guided me through the process. He and his staff were helpful and professional. I was very happy with the results.
