Accident

Jacob Cecere, is one of the outstanding attorneys I have come across in my life. Got into an accident and before I got hold of Jacob, I met a couple who said they could not take my case and referred me to him. He actually proved to me he was exceptional. He took my case and it was done with, in a ti...mely fashion. I definitely recommend him to anybody who needs an accident attorney.

Poised and honest Jake Cecere

Jake Cecere has shown me what it means to have the right attorney by your side. He remains calm and professional. He just won his 3rd auto accident case for me on 7/24/22. He believed that I was not at fault for the accident and remained strong on his questions for the defendant made him stumble ...with nervousness. The judge saw right through the well rehearsed statements made by the defendant as elaborate and not factual. He took a picture at the road where the accident happened. It spoke a thousand words. "The Bus" a passenger bus traveling to the left of a passenger car. That was the award winning picture. GREAT JOB!

Car Accident

I wanted to thank you for the excellent work you and your team did as a law firm. I am blown away by your integrity and all the hard work you’ve done. Your legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. It was a pleasure to work with atto...rney Jake Cecere. Mr. Cecere is a very attentive attorney who pays attention to details, listens to his clients and gets to know the case he is working on. Mr. Cecere is significantly more skilled and works very hard to ensure the success of your case. He was always prompt returning my calls and kept me up to date and informed. Mr. Cecere and his team are pretty detailed oriented, organized, flexible and friendly. I was extremely happy with his services. I would highly recommend Spigelman & Cecere, LLC to anyone looking to hire a personal injury lawyer, car accident, or wrongful death attorney. Thank you again Mr. Cecere!

Personal Injury Settlement

Jake saw me through the end of what had been a three year journey to pursue an injury claim from a motor vehicle accident. He was easily accessible, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process, always answering any questions I had in a timely and thorough manner. Thanks to his work, we were a...ble to settle my case without much fanfare. I highly recommend Jake to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney in the DMV.
