Posted by Lynda | April 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

On a 5 Star scale, Emily Chiariza is a 10 Star!

When I recently had a totally fictitious and malicious Personal Injury claim made against me, my insurance company obtained the services of Emily Chiariza to represent and defend me. Obviously the insurance company knew what they were doing - they got the absolute best for me. Legal proceedings are... not things normal people usually get involved with and can be rather frightening. For me, Emily's "bedside" manner was the best - she walked me down from the ledge ... explained how the whole thing would be handled, and forecast that the truth would prevail. And she was correct. When the whole thing was over and done I was delighted .... but a little sad .... I felt I was parting with a friend. If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a lawyer, I would highly recommend you seek the services of Emily Chiariza.

Trial Victory for an Excellent Attorney

Emily Chiarizia of Franklin & Prokopik represented my son on behalf of our insurance company in the defense of a civil lawsuit filed. It was an incredibly minor collision with no property damage and yet five plaintiffs, each made the maximum claim in District Court for their alleged injuries. Emily... was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was well prepared and knew the facts of the Plaintiffs’ claims inside and out. At trial her demeanor with the Plaintiffs was excellent, calm and professional while still being able to highlight the inconsistencies and holes in their case. Emily also took the time to prepare my son for his testimony and it showed. The result was the Judge awarding each of the plaintiffs NOTHING . I can’t thank Emily enough for all the time and energy she put into analyzing the evidence, formulating her case and her representation at trial. I know that a lot of cases that probably shouldn’t be are resolved because it is the path of least resistance and I am thankful that Emily and Franklin & Prokopik were willing to defend this fraudulent claim.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
