Job Well Done!

I was injured and my car was totaled in an accident that was not my fault. My insurance company told me to call the other insurance company for help with my car and rental, since they were responsible. In the meantime, I was incurring significant medical expenses due to a broken hand and later should...er surgery, both requiring physical therapy. Voice mails to both insurance companies requesting assistance and status because claims associate was not available. Many hours of waiting for calls to be returned. I did not seem to be a priority to the insurance company. This is when I decided that I needed an attorney. Your time is valuable. Negotiating an insurance settlement by yourself is a lot of work. Michael Kaufman and his team are the best. They are attentive, knowledgeable, communicate well, and obtain excellent results. I was delighted with my settlement and highly recommend Michael Kaufman!

Excellent Attorney

I cannot thank my attorneys Michael Kaufman & Kenneth Raley and their legal team enough for the exceptional service they provided throughout my personal injury case. After a motor vehicle collision, the insurance carrier was being incredibly unreasonable, but my attorney fought hard and relentlessly... to get me the justice I deserved. The entire process was made so much smoother thanks to the incredible paralegals, Brooke and Monika, who kept me informed and updated every step of the way. Their communication and dedication were outstanding, making me feel confident and supported.
