Workers Compensation Case

Mr. Gagne helped me with a workers compensation case. His office always communicated with me and returned my phone calls. Everyone was very professional. Mr. Gagne & his staff were great. They informed me about m case and always called me back when I was told they would. Customer service keeps a... business going and they are truly customer service.

Will always use Mr. Gagne

Mr. Gagne represented me for my first auto accident and I was so happy with him and his office I came back to him when I had my second accident. I was very satisfied with the outcome of both my cases and would recommend Mr. Gagne to everyone. He and his staff are very professional and they are alway...s there to take my calls and meet with me when ever I needed them.
