Richard Kopelman

When I was injured in a car wreck, I wasn’t sure what to do. A good friend of mine told me Richard represented him when he was hurt, did a great job, and that I should call Richard. I followed my friend’s advice and I am glad I did. From the beginning of my case to the end, Richard’s office always ke...pt in informed and made sure I understood what was happening. The insurance company claimed the collision was “minor” and refused to pay what was owed, so Richard filed a lawsuit for me. Not long after, the insurance company agreed to pay me $250,000.00, the maximum coverage they had for my wreck. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I do, I will make sure it is Richard.

After becoming injured in a hit and run car wreck a couple of years ago and badly injuring my knee, I had no idea what to do, who to talk to or what my rights were. After speaking with a co-worker who handled insurance claims for my company, I felt even more uneasy regarding the wreck and felt prett...y certain I should retain a lawyer. Luckily, a friend of mine recommended Richard Kopelman to me. Although I had a difficult case due to a prior injury to the same knee, Richard and his staff, especially Erin, were more than helpful and caring. They regularly called and emailed me to see how I was feeling, and always kept me updated on how my case was going. Since I had never needed a lawyer or been seriously injured before, I was terrified about the whole process, but Richard made things easy and genuinely came across as caring. Due to meticulous record keeping on their part, diligent study of both my automobile and health insurance claims/records, and Richard's ability to get right to the facts, I received a desireable (and more than anticipated settlement), along with the reassurance of knowing that no one else could have possibly helped me in a better manner. Even if you are unsure about how serious your case is, I recommend at least calling and speaking with Richard. HIs patience, perseverence, and ability to communicate with me in layman's terms definitely made my experience with him as enjoyable as possible given the circumstances. His office staff is great too. You really honestly have nothing to lose by at least consulting with him. He really helped me to get a sense of my self back and for that, I will forever be thankful.

Mr. Kopelman represented my husband in the Merck’s Vioxx case. During the long and tedious litigation process Mr. Kopelman and his staff kept us well informed on the progress of the case. I found Mr. Kopelman to be extremely sincere and a true professional. My husband and I feel a tremendous g...ratitude towards Mr. Kopelman and his staff, not only because of his expertise and hard work, but also because of the skilled and reassuring manner exhibited by himself and everyone in his firm. I would have no hesitation recommending Mr. Kopelman and his firm to anyone in need of representation.

My wife died, at the age of 30, leaving behind a 3-year old son and me. Naturally, I was devastated and confused. It seemed impossible to me that my healthy, active wife, could have collapsed a few hours after having been discharged from a hospital emergency room where she was diagnosed with a headac...he that could have been nothing more than a bad cold. Later, when a CT Scan reportedly showed that my wife had suffered an aneurysm and was clinically dead, I was suspicious that she had not received proper care. A close friend recommended that I call Richard, which I did, and on my request, Richard actually came to the hospital to help me deal with what seemed like an impossible situation. As it turned out, it is a good thing that I got Richard involved so early in the process because through Richard's efforts, we learned that my wife did not suffer an aneurysm, but instead, she had died of meningitis. I am convinced that the hospital would have covered this up if Richard had not been there for me. I immediately hired Richard, and from that moment, he handled everything for me and helped me get through a tragedy that I would hope no one would ever experience. Richard was honest and efficient. He responded promptly to calls and brought comfort to my family and me, explaining the process every step of the way. Ultimately, after a hard-fought trial, my case was successfully resolved to my satisfaction. It goes without saying that no amount of money ever could replace my wife, but the successful outcome of my case certainly eased the financial burden and allowed me to do things for my son that otherwise I would not have been able to do. My family and I remain grateful for everything Richard did for us, on both a professional and personal level.
