Trustworthy, Honest, and Responsive Attorney

I was referred to Mr. Fred Balkin after being involved in an accident that resulted in injuries requiring years of medical attention, including numerous surgeries and extensive rehabilitation. Fred built an entire team to handle this case. Fred and his team were honest and open with me regarding the... case, which also lasted for years due to the extent of the injuries. A positive settlement was reached. I could not have survived the legal battles without this team, spearheaded by Fred. Fred and his team are honest, realistic, responsive, and keep their clients informed of every aspect of the case and potential outcomes. They help clients make informed decisions and seem to honestly care for their clients. I am grateful for the tremendous amount of work and hours that Fred and his team put into ensuring a positive outcome to this case. I have referred others to Fred and the firm. Further, if I ever have a question about other legal matters, Fred offers advice or refers me to a member of the firm who can handle the question.

Former Personal Injury Client

I could not say more positive things about Fred Balkin. I experienced a life threatening accident, which was not my fault at all, and I had to go through extensive medical rehabilitation. I did not know how I was going to pay my bills, and if the person who caused the need for my medical and phycolog...ical treatment would be held responsible. Not only did Fred defend my case, but he did so with professionalism, tenacity, and with great care. He gave me a true sense of security, that all of my concerns would be taken care of. True to his word, I received adequate compensation, all my bills paid for, and the security that everything would turn out okay. The combination of Fred's knowledge, demeanor, professionalism, and true passion for justice for all of his clients, makes me entirely confident in my recommendation of Fred's services to even my closest of friends and family. If you have any questions or concerns, I can assure you he would be more than happy to talk to you. He is simply put, just the best.

Excellent service!

Fred Balkin was our lawyer after we had a car accident in which we rolled over. We all had medical issues and many other issues to be resolved afterwards. Fred Balkin took charge and managed EVERYTHING. We just sent every medical bill and insurance bill to him. He reduced our stress immeasurably, an...d got us compensation we never could have managed to get on our own! I am so thankful to have had his help and guidance throughout. I have since recommended him to other family members who were also very pleased with Fred Balkin.

completely unprofessional lawyer. after dealing with this office for 3 months my case was closed out with no resolution and was told that i have to handle my own medical bill disputes and that my case was not worth their time.
