Very Satisfied Client
This was my first encounter with any legal issue and my first conversation with Ana put me at ease and earned my trust in what the Kaufman Law Firm could do for me. After discussing the issues, she said Atty Raley would be representing me with the insurance company. When he called me to introduce himself, he was personable, and clearly explained what I could expect with my case. During the process both he and Ana maintained contact with updates and expectations. Ana is a five-star asset to Atty Raley and to the Company. She is knowledgeable and quick to respond. I couldn't have asked for a better partner with my case. Atty. Raley kept me informed as to the forward movement of my claim and always asked how I was feeling, being concerned about my health before proceeding with information on my case. He was always sincere. and I felt very comfortable with his recommendations. I would highly recommend the Kaufman Law Firm and the team of Atty. Raley and Ana Galindo to anyone needing a personal injury lawyer.

Michael Kaufman
Love Kaufman Law! They took on my accident case and got me the money I deserved! I started working with paralegal Monika Baez before she went on maternity leave and she was simply amazing with the beginning process making sure my family and I got the physical therapy we needed. Before she went on maternity leave she introduced us to paralegal Ana Galindo. Ana kept in contact with me about the case and answered all of my questions. It was great working with her. Although I worked with Monika and Ana often, attorney Michael Kaufman kept in contact with me as well and explained everything that was going on with the case. I was 100% recommend Kaufman Law!

The Real Deal
I had never been in a car accident before and even though the accident was clearly not my fault everyone treated me like I was a burden (including my own auto insurance company). Due to this treatment my husband and I thought legal representation would be a smart move. From the first phone call, the staff at Kaufman Law put my mind at ease. They were professional, efficient, patient and knowledgeable. Then I got assigned the dream team- Kenneth Raley & Priscilla Lechleiter! These two answered all of my questions (and there were plenty) in a timely manner, checked in on me regularly, but above all, they treated me with the kindness I needed to get through this very stressful event in my life. There was no doubt that these two had my best interest at heart from beginning to end! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Out of State Help
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.

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.

A helpful and guiding light.
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
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!
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
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!

KAUFMAN LAW REALLY KNOWS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A CLIENT!
Kaufman Law really took care of me after my accident!!! Not only did they fight for me with an insurance company that did not want to pay up for my medical on behalf of there client who was at fault for hitting me, but Kaufman and there TEAM stayed the course for what was about a 2year negotiation/ battle to get my needs taken care of!! Moreover, they stayed in touch regularly, kept me up to date with the progress of the case and checked on my well being which I thought was so sweet of them!!! Thanks again Kaufman Law for everything! Best, Anisa N J.

100% SATISFACTION!!!
recently worked with Samantha Green at Kaufman Law, and I could not have hope for a better experience. After my car accident, I went to another law firm that I ended up leaving due to lack of communication. However, I did not have the problem with Samantha and Mr. Kaufman at all. Kaufman Law called with updates and progress stats more than I was available. I could not imagine working with another firm, if I ever needed legal assistance again. 100% Satisfaction!!!!

Great company! Glad I chose Kaufman!!!
Kaufman Law did a great job on my case. I was in a car accident, definitely not my fault, but the other guy's insurance immediately told me to get a lawyer and they would not speak to me or pay my medical bills. I was extremely irritated and initially did not plan on suing. I spent a day researching on the internet and asking friends, Kaufman was recommended over and over again. The initial meeting was free and I was very impressed with the staff. They thoroughly explained the process in the first meeting - everything they said was true. The case took a little longer than expected, I was really surprised the other insurance company didn't just settle up immediately and make me go away. They ended up paying more than they would have, and it caused me a headache with the medical bills, but the Kaufman team was great. When I first met Mr. Kaufman, I told him I was surprised he was a real person. He chatted with me for quite a while and explained that his firm has been in business since 1970s, they are all real people and they would treat me like a real person. My initial contact at Kaufman went on medical leave, the new contact called me to explain, made sure I was up to date on what was happening, and stayed in touch afterwards. I will definitely recommend Kaufman!!!

Go Here!
This is THE law firm you want representing you. A pleasure to work with. Communication is outstanding and Mr. Kaufman as well as my paralegal, Samantha, handling the day-to-day were extremely easy to reach and speak with. Mr. Kaufman has decades of experience and always had my best interests in mind. He became a friend to me, and always having the time for me. I can only hope you read this and find my thoughts compelling enough to reach out to Kaufman Law should you ever have an unfortunate event arise and you need representation.

Kaufman Law was the best choice I could have made!
Having never been in an accident before that caused personal injury, I had no idea of what to do, where to go, or even how to start the process. A friend of mine, gave me Kaufman Law’s phone number, which I called immediately. That call was one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made. I was meet by case intake specialist Elizabeth Dlouhy. Elizabeth came to me, not the other way around. Every question I had was answered in detail and she patiently walked me through the process leaving me with the feeling that I had made the right decision. Soon after that, I met with Monika Baez, Monika was the paralegal assigned to my case and was my go to person throughout the litigation. Let me just say that Monica’s level of knowledge and degree of professionalism coupled with her genuine compassion and dedication to me, my case and everything in between was astounding! At this point, I knew with no doubts, I had absolutely made the perfect choice having Kaufman Law represent me. From that point on, there was no looking back. I met and spoke with Mark Bloch and Attorney Jeffery Kaufman who were never too rushed to speak at length with me about anything that I needed clarification on. I realize that every one’s case comes with its own complexities and particulars, but I can tell you with total confidence, regardless how complex your case may be, You can’t go wrong bringing in Kaufman Law. They take care of every detail of your case and they take care of you. From the time of my accident until the successful completion of my case, only five months had passed! God forbid that I should ever again need a personal injury attorney, but if I do, it will be Kaufman Law, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude I can never repay.

A great lawyer with great counselor
After being seriously injured in a head on collision, I knew that I needed a great attorney to help me with the insurance and help me get back on my feet. After speaking with my colleagues, I made the best decision ever and chose Jeff Kaufman at Kaufman Law. Mr. Kaufman's staff were always caring and professional advising and counselling me during my ordeal. I highly recommend this exception attorney to anyone who needs a compassionate professional to assist them with any personal injury case.
