Great job!

Mr. Blaszkow was able to give me his full attention when we met, and the information he imparted was key to developing an effective strategy for my case. His staff was excellent in responding to my questions. He did a great job with handling something that popped up as an unforeseen result of my in...itial case.

Very impressive

I had never needed to hire an attorney for a personal injury case before so I had no idea what to expect. I thought my case was small compared to others you see or hear about in general. Mr. Blaszkow and his entire staff treated me and my case as if it were one of their most important. I never fel...t my case insignificant or hardly worth their time and felt they committed the same amount of time and concern to coordinating and negotiating my case as they would have to some multi-million dollar case. I was extremely happy with the overall service provided. I was very impressed with how caring they were about my injuries and their focus on me getting the medical and rehabilitative services I needed to get better. I felt that they truly cared about me, not just as another case to process. They explained the process and sequence of steps typically followed in cases like mine and let me know of the progress being made. I would recommend their services to anyone in need of any type of legal representation whether civil or criminal. They truly represent and care for their clients at often the most critical time in a person's life that their services are needed. I was impressed by Mr. Blaszkow's availability by phone, text, and email. I received timely responses from him and his staff on the progress of my case.

Great Personal Injury Attorney

Dear Mr. Blaszkow: Please allow this letter to serve as my thank you for all the hard work that you put into my personal injury case. You did a slendid job in expediting all paperwork concerning my case. You kept me up to speed on how my case was progressing, and anything that I inquired about, ...you had the answer. We always had a one-on-one when I came to your office. I have not known an attorney that cared about his clietnts and their welfare so much. If ever I need the assistance of an attorney, I will be calling on your office to represent me. I have and will still refer clients to you. I hold you in high regard. Again, thank you for representing me and the speedy outcome of my personal injury case. PA, Leesburg, VA - July 2012

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
