Outstanding Legal Representation

Jay Sadd is an accomplished and experienced attorney who represented me in a personal injury case. I strongly recommend and endorse Jay and his staff for legal representation. No detail goes unnoticed and it is evident from the beginning of the process, it is the client's best interest they repres...ent. The communicate frequently and are timely in responding to any request. Also, they explain every step of the process and answer any questions patiently. My case was successfully litigated and I am delighted with the outcome.

A Heart-felt Thank you!

Nov 2014, one of the worse months of my life. Motorcycle accidents are NEVER fun; doubly so at the beginning of Winter. I had never needed a Lawyer before, so I was completely lost on what would be the first step. From the moment Jay visited me in the hospital, I knew I was in Good Hands. He was a re...ferral from a coworker. He talked me through the process of keeping records of my experience, the importance of keeping a journal, for my case, and for my sanity! It was a long process and there were small hiccups, but I never lost faith in Jay and his team. I trusted that they had my best interests in mind. My patience was rewarded with the Best Possible Outcome for me case! I was beyond pleased with their efforts and prompt delivery of necessary paperwork. I pray I never need a lawyer again... but if I need one, I'd go back to Jay.

A "Master" in the courtroom

It is with pleasure that I tell a story of one of the greatest trial lawyers I have observed in forty-five years at the bar. When I was injured, yours was among the few names I thought about to represent me in the litigation that was surely coming. I had seen you in action as I mediated cases in whi...ch you represented one of the parties and knew you to be aggressive, fair and highly competent. I was impressed with the way in which you guided the court and opposing counsel toward your theory of the case. Where the defense team sought complexity, you advocated simplicity. It was not until we began to prepare for trial, however, that I saw the great detail you managed and the energy you brought to bear. Your team was simply amazing.. The efficient trial of a major personal injury case is an art form, one in which the case must be orchestrated like a grand ballet at the Bolshoi Theater. Jay, you were the finest conductor I’ve seen in the courtroom, a true master. Your cross examination of the defendant’s expert was pure genius. Your summation was impassioned and spoke the truth, a truth the jury was anxious to accept. When the jury brought home a verdict of more than $ 7.6 million, I was astounded. In a word, you were “extraordinary.”
