Great firm for car accidents and disability cases

was involved in accident that left me with neck and back back pain. I reached out to Steven and his great team Vigrina and Tracey . They made the whole process stress free updated me every step of the way with my case. I would definitely recommend them team for any accidents they settled my case afte...r a year with a large settlement after being offered nothing by the insurance team. Don’t hesitate to give them a call one their other lawyer also help me win my disability case after being denied 3 years in row. They are the best lawyers to team up with

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

Stephen Segar

I worked with Mr. Segar and Ms. Jonas on a worker’s compensation matter. They were professional, responsive and highly knowledgeable. In fact, I met directly with Mr. Segar for my initial discussion. He never made me feel rushed. I asked many questions and they always responded in a timely manner. I ...would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for assistance with worker’s compensation.

Fantastic Outcome for Bicycle Accident

I was involved in a bicycle accident, and a trusted friend recommended that I contact Segar & Sciortino, and to ask for Steve. He had nothing but good things to say, and now I see why. I had a phone conversation and in person meeting, all within days of my accident. Steve even suggested that I get a ...second opinion on something and was able to help get me. From start to finish, Steve and Virginia were incredible. They were responsive and knowledgeable, with the many questions I had, and were able to guide me through the entire process. My particular case took quite a long time, due to the other insurance company and everything involved, but no matter the unexpected twists and turns that came up, both of them were there to push the case forward. At the end, Steve was there to prep me for the next step, and Kyle assisted with me as well. If it weren't for them, a case that I thought had a little bit to it, wouldn't have produced a lot in the end. I can't thank Steve, Virginia, and Kyle enough for the amazing outcome and professionalism along the way. You are truly outstanding!

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.

  • 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.
