Review C. Kaufman

Out of State Help

Posted by

Kaufman Law was a pleasure to work with and got great results on several claims we referred to them. They are a reliable partner for our clients that need assistance out of state and we would definitely refer to them again.

5 Star Team!

Marvin and Melissa are fantastic. They took the time to accommodate my inability to hear and made sure I understood what I was to go through. They made it possible to get the surgery I needed along with treatment for my injury. Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate your help.

Kenneth Raley and Melissa Barfield definitely went above and beyond to help me with all of my needs. I thought this was going to be a long drawn-out process but it ended up being rather quick. They definitely made everything easy to understand and I am very pleased with their service!

A helpful and guiding light.

Posted by

I felt abandoned by my old job and my first choice of lawyers seemed to not care about my case, then I find Mr. Kaufman and his amazing firm. He helped me understand the general process of processing a case and how it works into my case. I do appreciate how much care they put into my case even though its not too high profile of a case and continued to assure me that my case matters to him and his company. This easily has earned them their keep and i will continue to have them as my lawyers.

A caring lawyer

Posted by

Mr. Kaufman was very informative and explained everything even the nitpicky questions I had. He was also very understanding of my case and took the time out of his busy schedule to personally meet with me to make sure I was satisfied. A truly great lawyer that is an expert in his field and actually cares about his clients.

Kaufman was the best! So much better than my previous lawyer!

Posted by

After being seriously injured in a car accident, I was advised by a friend to call his "lawyer." After receiving the run around for months from this lawyer who shall remain un named, I was referred to Mr. Kaufman by a family member. Needless to say, I was beyond satisfied with all of the help with my case. I could not be more grateful for all of the help I received from everyone over at Kaufman Law. Would absolutely recommend!

A Seasoned Professional

Posted by

When you are unexpectedly injured in an accident, it can really shake up your schedule and your life. A friend of mine referred us to Kaufman Law and it was the best decision we could have made. The attorneys and the paralegals care about you and getting you the right medical treatment to make you whole again. They were all very personal and compassionate. Morgan handled our case promptly and diligently. She continuously reached out to us to make sure we were doing okay, to check on us physically, and to give us an update on our case. The professionals at Kaufman Law took the stigma out of personal injury and replaced it with the passion that Mr. Kaufman established this reputable firm with. I will be referring anyone I can to this firm. Thanks!

David Brauns, Personal injury Attorney on Sep 10, 2009
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I have worked with Jeff Kaufman on numerous personal injury cases. Out of all the attorneys in Atlanta with whom I have worked, Jeff's office performs the best investigation and preparation of a case bar none. He has the office staff and policies in place to ensure a meaningful client-attorney relationship, which is often the most important part of any case from the client's perspective.

Howard Spiva, Personal injury Attorney on Sep 10, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Jeff is a excellent attorney. I have known him for over 20 years. I have see him at many seminars and events over the years. We have discussed cases and corresponded often by phone and email. I am often impressed with his vast knowledge of the law and his creativity. A quality he has, that I see only in successful lawyers, is his constant efforts to learn new areas and to share with other lawyers. Because of his compassion and his passion for his clients and their causes, I would without hesitation refer a friend or client to him. I lend Jeff my personal endorsement for his superior quality legal work. Howard Spiva Attorney at Law 912-920-2000 www.spivalaw.com

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

A top lawyer, first class guy and someone that is always in the know and on the cutting edge of everything. The only thing more impressive than his many impressive achievements in an extremely distinguished law career spanning many decades is his great sense of humility. Jeff is winner inside and outside the court! If your a client your lucky to have him as your attorney. If your lawyer you benefit from sharing his counsel and company.

I have worked with Mr. Kaufman on a number of cases and highly recommend him for serious personal injury cases. Although he certainly has many clients, he always fights for the best interest of each and every one of them and has done an excellent job in every case I've seen him handle. He also has a first-rate staff that makes sure that the cases progress smoothly and the clients are kept informed of what's happening in their cases.
