    Thank you for your hard work

    Posted by

    Thank you so much for the all the hard work your firm did for me in my car accident case . I always felt so comfortable in the suggestions and decisions that we made. Everyone was so kind and compassionate. Mr Schreiber, you are a fine man and I will not have any trouble suggesting your firm for any and all legal matters. All the times I had questions whether by phone or email you answered swiftly and with such accuracy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Extremely Happy with this Lawyer. Helped me 3 different times.

    Posted by

    I have been extremely happy with the legal services of Attorney David Schreiber, working with him since 2011. He has been instrumental with helping me with legal issues three different times. One, I had been a passenger in a car accident. It was still pending settlement. The insurance companies involved had very little interest in settling the claim. As Special Education teacher I realized I needed legal help. After contacting Attorney Schreiber I was able to have it settled within a few months. The final settlement, was well above what I would have ever been able to receive on my own. On another matter, in one phone call, he explained my rights and what I needed to do. In a third matter, his guidance and assistance were instrumental with my receiving my security deposit back when I moved from an apartment to buying my first home. I would highly recommend David Schreiber and his firm. He has been wonderful to work with. He explains things extremely well and constantly stays in contact as things progress.

    Hard Working

    Posted by

    I strongly recommend David as a personal injury attorney. He is a very hard working and dedicated lawyer. He is very trustworthy as well as extremely understanding. Personally, I felt that my case received individualized attention, and that his professionalism did not reflect a one size fit all basis.

    Competent, loyal, and dedicated.

    David helped my client perfect a settlement in a PA court. His efficacious execution resulted in a superb result.

    Expertise and Professionalism

    David, Thank you for your expertise and professionalism in helping us as we dealt with our unexpected challenges. Your ease of access via email/phone and prompt attention had made everything effortless. I hope not to require your services in the near future, but as it is inevitable that something will come up, I will be sure to give you a call. Once again, thank you. --K.M.

    We would like to deeply thank Dave Schreiber for his support and guidance in dealing with our contract dispute with a major insurance company. My husband and I felt like we had no voice battling against a big company and looked to Dave for solid experience and track record. Dave Schreiber was professional, hard working and compassionate in all his dealings with us. He worked diligently to hold the insurance company accountable and made sure we received a proper settlement that was fair. We could have never achieved a successful and prompt outcome without Dave Schreiber’s expertise. Sincerely, Stephanie & Anthony Campanale

    I had an injury involving a truck accident where I was a pedestrian. David Schreiber was my lawyer. He did a fantastic job on my injury case. He worked hard, returned my phone calls and kept me informed about the case. He took the time to explain what was going on in the case. He earned my trust. If I ever needed a lawyer, I would use him again. I would also recommend him to anyone needing an injury lawyer. Frank
